The Subway's Foul Air.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

In spite of the experts who are declaring
the impossible. the air in the Manhattan
subway not only continues to be Inferior
but 1t keeps growing worse. 1t is not the
mere subway smell" that curious blend
of paint, cement. metal and stale cigarette
smoke. that offends such of the travellers
as have noses, for in our day of indoor liv-
ing not many people have noses; nor Is it
the loud roar that stuns them; but it Is the
dead. heavy. breathed-out air, not only in
the trains, but at the stations, that affects
them. Reports are multiplying of people
who have been compelled to forego the un-
questioned advantages of the tunnel, in the
matter of time saving and the avoidance of
blockades. and have taken to the streets
again. because their nerves their lungs and
their general health have been injured by
travel under ground. 1t Is reported that the
percentage of motormen and gatemen who
are fncapacitated by illness is larger than
on the surface the elevated lines, and
that there has been a marked increase in
rheumatism, headache and indigestion with
nausea and languor both among employees
and passengers There is some dampness,
which may account for the rheumatism, but
most of the i'll effects we must ascribe to
the foul air.

Baking at Peace.

1t would not be surprising If Japan seri-
ously objected to the proposition Of Rus
STA to name a representative for so-called
peace meeting without giving him power to
open definstive negotiations. Such an envoy
would be little more than a messenger, to
listen to Japan's terms and to bear them
to st. Petersburg. This method of han
ding the peace negotiations would, in one
aspect, put Japan alone in the position OF
seeking and proposing peace.
II sincere desire to end the war on the
best possible terms exists in st. Petersburg
the car will forthwith name plenipOtentf-
airy representatives. clothed with the fullest
powers for signing treaty, and will at
the same time ask for an armistice. II
Russia does not really want peace-if she
thinks she can win by some extraordinary
stroke of war or good fortune-f she be-
lieves that she can tire Japan out by merely
continuing to retreat stubborniy through
Manchuria and Siberia-there will be no
such step. President Roosevelt has opened
the way for the friendly approach of the
two belligerents, and only the lack OF
wish to end the war on the one side or the
other stands in the way of consummation
of the desire of all neutrals.

Washington in. Summer.

Throughout the severe weather of last
winter the long-range amateur forecasters
were kept busy declaring that this summer
would be hot enough to compensate for
all the cold. Up to this time however, the
summer has been unusually mild There
have been few ''muggy" days. damp and
warm. and occasionally a breath of hot air
has come out Of the skies to remind people
that June is at hand But there have been
no long stretches of dry heat. On the con-
trary, there is an abundance of moisture
Today's rains are an evidence of the good
intent of nature to soak the ground we'll IN

These June rains are putting the city and

abundant. and the foliage is a delight TO
the eye in every direction. The only draw
back to an Ideal outing In the country Is
the chance of wetting. But the wise ones
who seek the woods and fields and lanes
go prepared. at least to the extent OF wear
ing old clothes that Will not spoil with a

Ing the summer the capital offers many at
fractions. 1t is possible to keep cool here
at a very slight expense by making use of
the trolley lines that run far into the coun-

possible within few hours to find noun
tain scenery and sea-shore attractions IL A

Nacationing is largely a matter of habit
There seems TO be an instructive desire now
adays TO get away from home, to shift the
scene, TO seek new quarters, even when the
home air is good and the home surroundings
are entirely comfortable. Many people have
come to regard the out-of- town habit as a
costly drain upon the purse and the health
and find that Washington in summer is by
no means to be regarded as an undesirable
place of residence.

MI. Cleveland and the EQUITABLE

Mr.. Cleveland's acceptance OF a trustee
ship In the arrangement for settling the
confused affairs of the Equitable Life As
surarce Company Is a fresh reminder that
an old subject of anxiety on the part of
the public has passed. What to do with
our ex-presidents seemed once q legitimate
question. Some of the earlier ones were
poor and needed assistance. Some of the
later ones were lonesome, and looked pa
thetic in retirement Various propositions
We're submitted, from pension to life
membership In the Senate. The argument
In favor of a pension was that a man who
had held the highest Office under the gov
eminent should never by any freak Of for
tune be uneasy about comfortable sup
port. The argument in favor of election to
the Senate was that man who had studied
the public business from the viewpoint of
the White House would render valuable
sservice as an impartial, non-partisan coun-
selor in larger affairs in the legislative
field.
General Harrison called the first halt on
this speculation. He was an excellent law

resumed the practice of his profession with
great deal OF zest and pleasure. He
was neither poor nor lonesome. and excited

America and Peace.

Listen to Baron d'Estournelles de Con-
slant, a French statesman:
1.-The United States has again given hesi-
tating Europe a wholesome example All
Europe ardently desired peace, yet allowed
the war to go on without comprehending
what immense service II could renuer tIe
beIligerents in taking the initiative Ior
peace which neither of them could be the
first to take.
''President Roosevelt has already given
four such striking lessons TO Europe-nrst
in having brought before the arDltratiOn
tribunal at The Hague the question between
Mexico and the United States over the
Pious fund claims, while Europe was SCOTT
ing at the peace court which 1t had created;
second. in obliging Europe to settle pacln-
cauy the Venezuelan affair; third, In pro-
posing a second peace conference at The
Hague to complete the work of the first,
and fourth. in now intervening to put to
an end the hecatombs in the far east.
THE conclusion of this Is plain. All that
the European governments have morally
lost through their timidity the government
of the United States has gained 1t Is an
other good example for Europe of Americas
energy in safeguarding the most sacred
rights of humanity. May American enter
prise continue to stimulate Europe. break
ing our old traditions of inertia and
egotism. 1t is from the west that the world
today is receiving light.
Burns thought men would be benefited II
saw them. But his reference was to our
proneness to overvalue ourselves. His
idea was that to strike a safe balance we
should take into account an appraisement
not dictated by our own selfish considera-
lions.
Here we have the boot on the other leg.
Against the American howl about the big
stick. about the swagger that we have as
of lata Ina, hot
inflicted on our own growing generation by
military and naval preparations. about our
interest in the worlds affairs. may now be
put this French Interpretation of our power
and conduct and praise of US. Abuse has
come from within the household. The eff
fort to take US down peg or two has been
made here at home. 1t Is the foreigner,
the outsider. who seeks to give US better
opinion of ourselves; to lift us up, and cheer
us on in good and big things. Between an
American anti-imperiaIst and this French
statesman and diplomat the difference Is
as wide as the world.
The full value of the Presidents attitude
in this matter of peace is that it Is so cor
daily Endorsed by the great majority Of
the American people. He has the country
behind him. If hitherto he has figured In
the eyes of his friends as well as his enc
mics as more man Of blunt force than Of
diplomacy he has now his innings In the
approval which marks his course in pro-
posing peace where war has so long been
raging. He has been sure-footed as
though he had never gone any other gait
America has never before stood so con-
spieuously for good will among the nations
as now that our position as a world power
is so we'll established. And in serving
others so web, is it possible for US to
injure ourselves?
