IF the officers in charge of the Ma
val Academy at Annapolis cannot
preserve order among the midship-
men there ought to be change of
officers. And if the midshipmen can
not curb their brutal propensities
and obey the regulations they ought
to be dismissed-plenty of decent
young men can be found to fiji their
places. The fact that these midship-
men are to follow the profession of
fighting doesn't Justify them in bru-
tally treating their weaker fellows.
Bullies nearly always prove to be
towards in a real emergency.

The city officials of Martinsburg
have closed deal with the city of
Rochester, N. Y, for the purchase Of
a new $4,000 Holly water pump, to
be installed as an auxiliary to the reg
ular equipment. This purchase is
part of plan formulated by the Bus
mess Mems Association for the in
stallation of a modern paid fire de-
partment. The balance of the equip
ment, consisting of a chemical engine,
hose wagon, hook and ladder wagon,
1000 feet of new hose, two horses and
harness, will be given to the city as
a Christmas gift by the business men,
and it is expected the department
will be reorganized and the new
equipment installed by January l.
Salaried 6remen will be placed at the
central epgine-house and volunteer
fremen will man the apparatus in the
several yards. That portion of the
equipment to be donated by the bust
ness men will cost $4,000, and the
council will maintain it at yearly
expense of $4,000. The people of
Martinsburg hope to have reduc-
ton in insurance rates because of these
improvements to its fire department.

The die has been cast by Senator
Elkins and Senator Scott, and through
their influence Reese Blizzard has been
reappointed United States district at
torney and Charles D. Elliott United
States marshal for the northern dis
tIict of West Virginia. There was no
particular opposition to the reappoint-
ment Of Major Elliott, except on the
part of those who wanted his place,
but Judge Blizzard was reappointed
in the face of the strongest objections
upon the part of Governor Dawson,
Ex-Governor White and other sup
porters of the State administration, as
we'll as considerable number of in.
fuential Republicans who do not re-
gard him as a fit man for the place.
Probably the main reason that infu-
enced Senator Elkins to favor Judge
Blizzard was because that gentleman
was the head and front of the "insur-
gent" movement in West Virginia,
which had for its chief object the
knifng of Senator Elkins when he
should come up for reelection to the
Senate. 1t was known that the insur-
gents would balk at no political trick
to defeat the Senator, and he doubt
les has spiked their guns by com
plying with Billiards. desires. On
the other hand, however, he has I'm.
doubtedly incurred the hostility of
Governor Dawson and his friends, and
the Senator may have jumped from
the frying pan into the fire. A great
political tempest is brewing in West
Virginia, and Senator Elkins is going
to be right in the storm center.
We shouldn't wonder fthere is SER
ious trouble ahead for Senator Elkins
because of his fling at the State ad-
ministration, especially in view of the
certainty that the people of West Vlr-
GINA will be demanding Senator
who will not be opposed to govern
ment regulation of railroad rates.

The Pennsylvania, the Baltimore
& Ohio, the Norfolk and Western and
the Cumberland Valley are among
the railroads in this section of the
country that have announced that
they will hereafter issue no more free
passes. They declare that after
January lst no one save employees of
their roads, or certain employ ees Of
other roads, will be given free trans
portation, and they will not ev'-n is
STE mileage to newspapers in exchange
for advertising. To such newsps-
pers as they wish to advertise in they
will pay cash, and the editors must
buy their tickets when they travel.
This is the worst blow of all. 1t is
bad enough to cut off common poll
ticians, but this attempt to make ed
itors stay at home all the time is
stab at the press that we trust will
result in utter confus ion to the rail-
roads.
Somehow we doubt the purity Of the
motives of the railroads in this pass
restriction business. We are inclined
to believe it is simply threat-an at
tempt to bully the influences that are
to have weight in the question OF rate
regulation. That it will prove
boomerang we believe to be quite
probable, and it may not be long be-
fore the railroads will be seeking the
good will of those whom they are now
so virtuously eschewing.
1t would be mighty good thing if
the railroads should stop bribing Sem
ators and Representatives and legis-
lators in general, and judges and ex-
ecutive officers, State and national
but we don't believe they mean to do
it. Perhaps they will hire them out
right now, instead of getting their in
fuence by indirect means.
Anyhow, we don't care. We can
walk when we want to 60 away.

FEDERAL LICENSE.
Secretary MeteaIf's Plan for controII-
ing Corporations.

Neutrality-suspicious. H. Metcalf, sec
retary of commerce and labor, in his
annual report, says: THE work of the
Bureau of Corporations has developed
along the lines indicated in the first
annual report of the commissioner Its
most important work of legal nature
has been the further study of the plan
proposed in the first report for the su-
pervision and regulation, by federal
license of corporations, engaged in in
terstate and foreign commerce. The
inadequacy of state legislation to reg
ulate or control In any proper measure
the corporations engaged in interstate
commerce has been most clearly dem
onstrated. The great railway systems
and the greater industrial corporations
extending their operations through
many states, some through the entire
United States, are but nominally su-
pervised or controlled by the states
from which their charters were OBJ
tanned. Some of these corporations
have shown not only disregard for
state laws, but have become potent fac
tors in directing the political policies
of the state.
1.-THE federal license plan recognizes
that real supervision. real regulation,
can only De enforced Dy government
whose jurisdiction and power are great
enough to cope with the corporations

and 213.629 in excess of the arrivals in
1904. With respect to the sources from
which those immigrants are derived.
1t is interesting to note that, compared
with the corresponding figures for the
last year, the quota from Russia in
creased 39.756; from Italy 2S,183, and
