FITTING GRAVE of OLD IRoNs1DEs.
suEgested Finish for n Survivor of
the Old Navy.
CIeve,ard Plain Dealer

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
II the AmericRn people had their choice
they would probably prefer to lose any
ship of the modern navy rather than that
glorious survivor of the old navy. the Con-
stitution, which is now reported to be
going to pieces at the Boston navy yard.
1t is hard to see why there should be any
danger of its turning turtle" as the dis
patches put it, but there is no dificulty
in understanding that by this time It must
be literally falling to pieces and would
be In danger Of collapsing under its own
weight II docked for repairs, and this in
spite of the probable fact that few of the
original timbers are left in It, Navy men
gay II cannot be saved. but constructors
do wonders these days and the spirit of
Hull and cambridge does not animate
their successors II they give up the old
ship without struggle.
Launched I'm 1877 and commissioned in the
following year, the Constitution had an
unbroken record OF victory. II was one of
six ships constructed on new lines and
marked a new departure In naval archi-
lecture. Two OF these vessels the Chesa-
peake and the President. were captured by
the British in the war of 1912, that struggle
which made "Old Ironsides" immortal
through Its victories over the Guerriere,
the Java, the Picton and the Cyane and
Levant. 1t alone has survived and Il 10
sad to hear that 1t has reached the end
OF its life's cable, 1t owes its preservation
to this late day. not 10 the stanchness Of
its timbers. but to the famous lyric Of
DR.. oliver Wendell Holmes, written In 1893,
when II was proposed to break up the ship
on the ground that il was unseaworthy,
and which fired the public heart as few
poems before OF since have done.
At all events the harpies OF the shore"
should not be allowed to pluck the eagle
Of the sea-" II II cannot be saved let its
ending be worthy OF It's career. DR..
Holmes showed how its obsequies should
be conducted:
Nail to the mast its holy flag,
Set every thTeadbare sail,
And give Il 20 the god OF storms,
The lightning and the gale!
II might not be practicable now TO carry
out this program: but a fitting alternative
would be 20 rent II 70 some extent as in
the days OF It's glory, tow II into deep
water on the coast and scuttle IL, with
guns shotted and cOlors flying. with the
whole modern North Atlantic feet standing
by and saluting with every available gun
as Il took It's hnal plunge. Nothing less
would be worthy Of "old Ironsides' or
the country.

In his address at the opening Of the
republican campaign in Ohio Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks, referring TO the sub
jet OF railroad determinations, de-
clared: There must be an end Of dis
elimination" He said that in dealing
with the question 1t must be settled
not In the light of party politics, but
according to principles Of strict justice
and he expressed the opinion that con-
gress may be relied upon to proceed, in
the light Of past experience and present
Information, to enact such laws as Will
effectually remove the evils which con-
fessedly exist. Senator Foraker, while
expressing opposition to comforting upon
the Interstate commission the rate
making power, said there are discrim-
nations for which 1--WE must and will
provide an effective remedy" The Ohio
republican platform calls for legisla-
ton that will promote and insure the
rights of all individuals, interests and
localities.
The fact that this subject has entered
into the Ohio campaign and is certain
to command thorough discussion there
viii be regarded as important by all sup
ton respecting it, as clearly defined in
his last annual message and which there
is no reason to doubt he still holds An
effort has been made, prompted by the
rof 20 70 fVnn oil I'm no
public mind that Mr.. Roosevelt has ma
terially modified his attitude in regard
to railway rate regulation. Some news
paper correspondents at the national
capital have been industriously endeav-
oring to incite distrust of the president
on this subject. But no one has yet pre-
scented a single fact to justify a doubt.
Because the president has not recently
said anything on this question is not
reason for thinking that he has
changed his views. The declaration of
Mr.. Fairbanks above quoted may safely
be accepted as rejecting the attitude
of the administration. In little more
than two months President Roosevelt

gress and undoubtedly the question of
railway rate regulation will occupy a
very prominent place in that state paper.
He knows that public opinion is strongly
in favor of such legislation as he has
recommended and he will not, it can
confidently be predicted, disappoint pop
ular expectation by to the slightest ex-
tent receding from what he has already
declared % be essential to the public
interests and welfare.
Meanwhile discussion Of the question
Of railway rate regulation in the Ohio
campaign will serve to draw public
attention to it everywhere and doubtless
will prove a material assistance to the
interests which are demanding such leg
islation as will put an end to discrimina-
ton and remove the evils which con-
fessedly exist. The effort to secure this
will be as persistent and earnest as the
exigency calls for and undoubtedly 1t
will have the support and influence of
the national administration.

Calm in eternal sleep;

The president Of the Good Govern
ment league writes The Bee to say that
the circular gotten out and distributed
during the primary campaign purpOrting
to emanate from the league was not
issued by that organization and was alb
solutely unauthorized so far as 1t is con-
cerned. He therefore insists that our
criticism based on the assumption that
the circular was authorized is unwar-
ranted. To this extent the exception is
we'll taken, but 1t seems to us that the
proper thing for the officers of the league
to have done to live up TO their an
nounced purposes and intentions vas 20
have branded the fake circular at once
as soon as it appeared. The studied 81
lence Of the league spokesman until after
the primary would naturally prompt the
assumption that the fake circular was
either genuine or that the league was
willing TO father II as it was.

The tests Just made to ascertain the
high water mark Of the direct pressure
for fire hydrant supply are only another
grandstand play by which the Water
board is trying to Justify its own crea-
ton and existence. Ten or twelve years
ago the same farce was gone through
with, and it developed then, as 1t is re-
developed now, that the hydrant pressure
is inadequate to extinguish fires in our
highest buildings unless supplemented
by fire engines. Even If fire hydrants
could throw eight streams of water to
height of 10 feet at the corner OF Fiji
teenth and Farnam they could not pos
sibly put out fire in the top story Of the
New York Life, or even The Bee build
ing, much less in fifteen or twenty-story

at the time the contract with the water
company was made. In those days six
story buildings were supposed to be the
tallest business structures that would
ever be erected in Omaha, and every
body assumed also that no fire engines
would be needed so long as the direct
pressure could attain the high-water
mark conditions imposed by the contract
The only thing accomplished by the test
is an increase in the water fund overlap
and creation of additional expense to
pay special engineers and special law
