gas stove couplings are often of rubber.
which deteriorates in use and becomes brit
tie. 1t may crack under the woven cover
ing, especially If the stove is moved about
and the couplings disturbed. A small leak,
adding the Illuminating gas itself to the
noxious products OF combustion, may de-
stroy life. A close inspection Of the tub
ing from time to time is a measure OF
sensible precaution-
The fluctuating pressure is caused in a
great majority of cases by the accumula-
ton of water in the pipes especially when
there is a marked fiaring of the fame fol-
lowed by diminution. This trouble oc-
ours between the meter and the burners
and can be remedied by the agents of the
gas company. who readily respond to sum
mons to perform this work. The pipes
should be blown out at least once sea-
son. Especially is the moisture likely to
condense In the pipes in winter. at the very
time when the gas stoves are in use in
the sleeping rooms.
With proper ventilation and care Of the
tubing and the house pipes these heaters
are perfectly safe. Without such precau-
tions they are a menace to health and life.

The House Wins,

AIS well that ends well. The Senate
surrenders to the House on that disputed
point in the agricultural appropriation bill,
as it should have done. No better point
could have been selected by the House upon
which to assert itself. AS the people pay
the taxes, it is most proper that the people 9
representatives chosen directly by them
should have the first voice always in the
determination Of the question as to how
the money shall be raised and spent Both
revenue and supply bills originate in the
House. The Senate has it's say-so later,
but can always afford to await its turn
AS The Star declared yesterday, the old
rule is best. Let every fellow shiny on
his own side, and then we shall have no
collisions or contentious, with their fine
spun theorizing and befuddlements for the

with ardor. And yet it is fact that we
played in phenomenal luck. We had vir-
tually challenged the greatest OF naval
powers, and on a proposition which every
nation on the continent of Europe at that
day warmly resented. We should probably
not have found friend among them had
we gone to war with Great Britain. The
result, almost necessarily. would have been
the speedy destruction OF our few ships and
the most tempting of our seaboard cities.
We should have taken in Canada. but that
would not have recompensed us for our
losses in treasure and prestige.
Lord Salisbury never did wiser or pet
ter thing in his life than in reversing him
self In that matter. But surely we cannot
afford as nation to expect to find states
men of his stamp growing on trees all over
the world. We must be prepared when we
talk as we did on that occasion to make
our words good. We cannot afford to have
men like Mr.. Olney In executive office
writing tart dispatches, and men like Mr..
Cochran in Congress talking as he some
times does in the most belligerent fash on,
and no forces on land or ships on the sea
to convince foreigners that they mean what
they say. Speaking softly and carrying
big stick is much better than speaking
loudly and fiercely and carrying no stick
al all.

Words and Weapons.
Says the New York Times:

says the New YORK Times:
Mr.. Bourke Cochran, in a speech In the
House on Wednesday, undertook to prove
that the United States did not need an
army or a navy, and pointed out that we
had no standing army In the war of 1872
He is quite right about It, We had no
standing army and we were ANONYMOUSLY
and disgracefully defeated by the British
regulars throughout the war until jackson
partially redeemed our reputation at New
Orleans"
And in the same speech. the Times may
have noted, Mr.. Cochran, referring to the
Venezuelan dispute with England, declared
that the greatest triumph ever won in the
history Of the United States was when
Secretary Olney wrote dispatch Affecting
the greatest power in the world when the
navy was about one-fifth its present size -
Is there any comfort or food for pride In
the reflection that we were so weak on the
sea at that time? Did Lord Salisbury
finally consent to arbitration through sheer
pity for our condition as a naval power?
Would 1t be safe for us, as a rule, to de-
liver ultimatums without the ability to back
them up? Might we not find ourselves on
some occasion IN a very embarrassing. not
to say humiliating. position?
That Venezuelan episode. by the way. Is
vastly suggestive. What Mr.. Olney did the

Frances E. Willard.

If ever an American woman deserved
the tribute to her memory that was paid
yesterday by the Congress of the United
States it was Frances E. Willard. For
She notably among the members of her
SEX contributed in her life to the welfare
of mankind. With genius for organiza-
ton seldom equaled either among men or
women, she assembled the forces of the
women of America in a great fight against
the liquor evil. She lectured and preached
worked and schemed, to weld all the ele-
ments opposed to that traffic into great
powerful whole. When she died, seven
years ago. she had accomplished that task
Her name was a household word through
out the United States, and was Familiarity
known in Europe She had become a pow
er. And her influence remains today, and
will continue as long as women work
against evil and seek the betterment of
mankind.
For nearly quarter of century Fran
ces E. Willard was in the front rank of
the temperance workers of the United
States She made some mistakes. She was
human. But her mistakes were insignificant
compared with her wonderful achievements
and the remarkable effect of her teachings
and encouragement upon all her followers
ever she spoke and the enthusiasm she in
spired remained an active force.
With all her public work Miss Willard
remained a loyable woman and her de-
voted admirers and friends were legion.
1t was an honor to know her, a privilege
to hear her speak. 1t is no wonder that
with such a leader the ranks of the w. c..
T. U. should be filled with women of all
social positions wing with each other to
make the most of opportunities for the
cause of temperance; nor that men should
pause in their business to lend hand
earnestly and devotedly to aid in the fight
against the drink evil.
The organization which Miss Willard
made so strong remains today and will con-
tnue to remain of the most useful
factors in the world for the correction of
evil influences. 1t Families in myriad of
directions. 1t is based upon the home it
self. and in the home it works it's best ends.
The spectacle of many hundreds of little
children passing by the statue in the Capt.
tol yesterday and casting flowers at it's
base was "a type of the power of this or
sanization. Every child who joined in that
great procession will be strengthened by
the experience in the years to come when
the temptations of life are met and fought
Thus IN a signal manner has the state
of Illinois and the Congress of the United
States set Miss Willard before the world
as great American. If each memorial
and statue erected in this country COM
rnemOrated life so useful and a character
so inspiring, the public art of the United
States would indeed stand for something
for uplift and publication, at least

The Wisdom of IiberaIitv.

There should have been no question what
ever as to the retention in the District bill
of the Senate committees amendment add
ing 5000, 900 to the cost limit of the munich
pal building, and there should be no doubt
whatever of it's retention in the bill in con-
ference. If there was ever plainly need
ful grant of money it is this If not given,
the municipal building, even though it
houses merely the three governors of the
District Of Columbia and their clerks will

ing conspicuously in the public view on the
capitals chief thoroughfare, in close prox-
unity to the White House group of public
buildings and on the edge of what it is
hoped will eventually be a great national
park, studded with beautiful structures
There is a tendency in Congress, now and
then disclosed in one form or another, to
regard the District municipality as nui-
sance, necessary but negligible in point of
the refinements of government. Fortunately
this tendency is gradually disappearing
under the influence of better understand
ing of the true relation of the District to
the federal government and to the people
of the whole country. If the wiser leaders
of local legislation are followed the capital
will some day be given the finest munich
pal equipment and the benefit of the best
possible fiscal arrangement for the meeting
of its expenses. Liberality and good bust
ness go hand in hand in all enterprises,
whether municipal or commercial and there
is urgent need of SUCH a combination in this
District If the capital is to be worthy of
the nation.
