1t Is perhaps a type of the misfortune that
has pursued Russia throughout the war

ported conclusion of the deal for new

after losing a fight directed against the
Russian front. have swept around behind

An Act of Vandalism.

The mutilation of the table on the inau-
guration stand at the Capitol, Immediately
following the ceremonies there on the 4th
seems to have been done by some one who
sat in the immediate neighborhood, and sus-
ptcion has fallen on certain personages of
such high rank that there is no present dis
position to institute an investigation. 1t
would assuredly be unpleasant to find for an
instance. that one of the foreign diplomats
had so far forgotten his dignity and the re-
sponsibiities of his post as to whittle off a
silver from the historic walnut stand which
has stood by the side of new Presidents
since the Attn of March, 1925. when John
Quincy Adams took the oath of office. But
it would at the same time be somewhat of
a pleasure to know that the representative
of a foreign power desired a souvenir of an
occasion of significance chiefly to Ameri-
cans. Fortunately the walnut table has been
so well repaired that it is said to be almost
impossible to detect the place where the
splinter was cut off. 1t is feared, however,
that there may be others who will be en-
couraged by this achievement in carpenter
ing and by the immunity granted to his dis
tinguished position to emulate the act Of
this polite yandal at later inaugurations
Americans have been accused of lacking in
reverence for landmarks and ancient inSti-
tutions This is a libel. There are, despite
Few exceptions. no more ardent admirers
of the antique, the historical, the significant
and the beautiful than the people of this
country. Vandalism occurs occasionally
OF course. Tablets are Clipped, pictures are
cut, carpets are torn and other acts of
senseless spoliation are committed by the
souvenir seekers. But a class the Ameri-
cans are devoted to their monuments and
relics They are acquiring a store of them
as the decades of national existence ac-
cumulate, and the habit of reverence for the
historic object is certain to grow more firm
ly fixed and more widespread as time
passes.

would be infinitely preferable. from the
view point of humanity.
The report that the French fnanciers
have agreed to advance Russia S12OoOOo)
Oh terms which bear severely upon the St
Petersburg government lacks confirmation
thus far 1t is her sharp contradiction
of the forecast of Baron Rothschild, who
could not believe that there would be any
disposition in France or elsewhere to loan
Russia any more money in the present state
of the case. According to the report the
loan will cost Russia commission of AZ
per cent and she must also grant to France
a commercial treaty for the encouragement
of the Importation of French wines into
Russia, and must deposit large sum in
France to pay for warships ordered there.
So France will, according to this bargain,
get back a considerable portion of the $780,
100000 in cash, and stand chance to reap
a harvest when Russia begins to drink
French wine.
But the crucial test of the case today is
not Russia's ability to borrow money. on
any terms. but her capacity for assembling
an army of more than half million SOL
diers in Manchuria within a few months,
fully armed and provisioned for a cam
paign of many months against steadily
increasing foe, cheered by the most remark
able series of victories ever scored by
fighting force. This achievement would
seem TO be well nigh impossible, in view
of the fact that it takes time to assemble
guns and provisions and that the Russian
military reserves have already been drained.
An army of half million, hastily recruited
from the peasantry in their present state
of mind, would be little better than an
armed mob, perhaps more dangerous to
Russia than to Japan, and unuuestionably
inferior in every respect, man for man, to
the well trained, patriotic veterans under
Oyama. And while this is being done, if
attempted, Japan is not likely to be Idle.

The Jefferson Dinner.

Although it is almost month distant,
there is already some lively gossip circu-
lating about the dinner to be eaten in New
York on the evening of April ID. the ami
versary of Thomas Jefferson's birthday.
The function grows out of a suggestion
dropped by Richard Croker during his re-
cent visit home. Eminent orators have
been secured, and other eminent men have
been invited, and the occasion ought to be
one of cheer, If not of gladness.
1t was during this same visit that Mr..
Croker confessed that his party had no
leader in sight for 1908. and said that 1t
might be a good idea for it to put up MT.
Roosevelt then for another term in the
White House. He did not appear to be
joking. At any rate the man to whom he
spoke received the suggestion seriously. and
valued 1t all the more as coming from one
who for several years had been out of the
turmoil of active politics, and therefore the
better prepared to things straight and
steadily.
Why this dinner then, If the democracy
is now leaderless? Well, the past at least
is secure, and SO much of the past as Mr..
Jefferson Influenced for his party makes
bright picture in memory. Painted by an
artist in words and presented to a COM
pany of loyal spirits gathered at the ban
quet table, it always stirs the blood and
makes the heart rejoice. Men forget pres
ent troubles, and live for the moment in
the glory of what has been. And that
company in New York next month is going
to experience those delightful sensations.
Maybe a new wrinkle is in store for US.
Maybe the orators will bring Mr.. Jefferson
up to date. They may not content them
selves with reciting the familiar story. but
may reason from the record as to what the
sage of Monticello would do if in the flesh
today with the beef trust, the Standard Oil
Company, the railroad rate problem. and
particularly how he would explain the Mon
roe doctrine, which, as we all know, was
first enunciated by one of his favorite dis
ciples jefferson as a theme is always In
spring, and never more SO than at times
when special privileges are under discussion,
and the interests of the people are thought
to demand strong and aggressive champion
ship.

Japan and the Philippines.

Representative Hull of Iowa is appre-
heusive of trouble with Japan over the
Philippines. Flushed with her success over
Russia she will. he thinks, aspire to rule
that part of the world. and we shall either
have to sell the archipelago to her. or
fight her to retain it. And so the Iowa
statesman finds an argument for still
stronger American navy.
This is by no means a wise or reason
able deIiverance. We want a strong navy,
but the argument in favor of it is general
To base it on Japan's development and ex-
hibition of power is out of the question
That. in effect. would be to challenge a
country which is on terms of sincere friend
ship with us. Moreover, we wish her sue
cess in her present undertaking. Her COM
plete triumph over Russia will be more
than agreeable to us. 1t is absurd there
fore to talk about arming on the sea es-
pecially against Japan. Our naval pro-
gram grows out of world conditions. AS
all other great nations have strong fight
ing machines we must have one too. 1t
is a question of being in the fashion and
on the safe side.
And. then, what authority is there for as
cribing this inordinate ambition to Japan?
She did not bring on the war with Russia.
She tried by every honorable means to
avoid it. If Russia had kept her promises
to Japan and to the other powers about
Manchuria there would have been no war.
The present struggle. therefore. represents
no exhibition of land hunger and conquest
on Japan's part, but only the praiseworthy
spirit of self representation. Seeing that Rus
STA was spreading out to her detriment and
against positive agreement on Russia's
part, Japan, purely in self-defense, drew
the sword. Why, then. should we suspect
Japan of a purpose to play the part of
bad neighbor toward as soon she has
settled her score with bad neighbor of
her own?
We did not have Japan in view when we
went to the Philippines. and our purpose to
remain is, of course, wholly without regard
to her. Our policies are our own, and are
without Intentional unfrien0lness toward
any power. But there Is probably no power
which experiences more satisfaction in our
presence in the Philippines than Japan. She
is one of our best friends, and has good
reason to know that wherever our flag is
planted improvement follows, and where
there is Improvement progressive country
like herself has occasion to rejoice.

"Pistol Toting" South.
from the San Antonio Express

From the San Antonio Express.
In a country where it is the rule rather
than the exception for every man to wear
arms, a movement toward the hip pocket
Is regarded as a menace and as a warrant
for quick action. Representative Cobb con-
tended that If a man who carried pistol or
other deadly weapon on his person was
compelled to wear 1t openly or to wear a
badge indicating that he was authorized to
carry such weapon, there would be less
shooting down of unarmed men, with a
subsequent plea of presumption of danger.
1t has also been suggested that the citizen
who must, or thinks he must wear a pistol
should first obtain a license to do SO and
should be required to give bond that he will
not abuse the privilege, and that deal
ers in concealabe weapons should be re-
quired to register the names of their pistol
buying patrons and held to some account
ability for selling to improper persons
Perhaps the legislatures of Texas and Mis-
souri, may be able to arrive at some con-
clusion in regard to the matter that will
lessen crime and the expense to the state
of criminal courts resulting from the pistol
toting habit.

ably entering upon long national career

A Fixed or Movable Datep

Every time the proposition to change the
Inauguration date has been preached the
suggestion has been made from some quar-
ter that. instead of naming new calendar
date, the day should be chosen so that 1t
will never occur on Sunday by fixing, for
an instance, upon the fourth Tuesday in
April or the fourth Thursday. This would
make the closing of the term of Congress
bear relation TO its opening which Is now
lacking. making the short session always
of certain length of days. The same rea-
soning would apply TO prevent the occur
renee of the Inauguration day on Saturday
or Monday, both of which. especially the
former. are bad days for certain reasons
There is distinct tendency in this coun-
try TO designate the legal holidays particu-
larly those of a patriotic nature, by the
calendar rather than the proper names
The great majority OF people speak of the
Fourth OF July rather than ''Indepen-
dence day." or the "Thirtieth of May" in
stead of Memorial day" and of the
Fourth of March" and not Inauguration
day" Many even refer to the Twenty
second of February in lieu of Washing
toms birthday" OF course no one ever
speaks distinctiveiy of the ''rwenty-ffth OF
December" instead OF christmas" while
Thanksgiving day has its own name es-
tablished because of the shifting of the
date. If the rule applicable to the last
named holiday were adopted for the inau-
guration it. too would come definitely and
Invariably TO be known as Inauguration
day"
There might be gain In thus making the
designation distinctive. The influence OF
the patriotic societies is steadfastiy cast In
favor OF a popular use of tho proper names
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-03-16

of the holidays. 1t certainly means more
to celebrate Memorial day" than the ''Thir-
tieth of May" and perhaps the lad who
fires cracker the Fourth of July would
grow in understanding of the reason for the
noise if he had been taught strictly to know
the day as the anniversary of the nations
declaration of independence
Opposed to the suggestion of a movable
date is the fact that the reason for propos-
ing the Both of April is that it was the date
of Washington's first Inauguration, and,
therefore, has an historical significance. OF
course the chief reason for any change at
all is the desire TO hold the ceremonies in j
more clement season than March 4. That
purpose should never be clouded by any
eXtraneous considerations.

Inauguration Management.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

foHi Tue Cincluuatl Enquirer.
The inauguration spectacle at Washington
on the 4th instant was great success. Per-
haps the attendance of strangers was not as
large as on previous Inauguration occasions.
There was not the same incentive to office
seekers as formerly, and there was falling
off in the attendance of political clubs; but
the military parade was probably the grand
est ever seen in Washington. except the re-
view directly after the civil war. That was,
of course, far ahead in numbers. but the
procession on the 4th exceeded in brillis ncy
anything that had ever moved along Penn
sylvania avenue. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the great enterprise was a success
financially as we'll as artistically. Inaugu-
ration comes once in four years. and the
public-spirited men of Washington who are
usually assigned to the details have become
so familiar with the business that they can
always assure success against anything but
the ''beastly weather that so often comes
early in March. They have even paid out
sometimes in the face of rigorous winter.
