In a race with death Miss Grace Kel-

across the continent from Pittsburg

A High-Pressure Test.

1t is unfortunate that members of the two
appropriations committees of Congress were
not present yesterday at the test of the
high-pressure main from Fort Reno reser-
voir, conducted in the presence of the Com
missioners and representative insurance and
business men of this city. Had the Sena-
tors and Representatives witnessed the
work of this twelve-inch pipe. without the
Intervention OF a steam pump, it is diff
cult 10 believe that they would continue to
oppose or delay the appropriation of the
$50 coo asked by the Commissioners for the
installation of a series of mains throughout
the business district. Yet yesterdays
demonstration was only a partial proof of
what could be accomplished by means of
the Fort Reno supply in case of fire, for the
project contemplates the establishment of
a main three times as large that now in
service. and this would give a correspond
ingly greater pressure and efficiency in
fighting large fire in the heart of the city.
With high-pressure service installed ac-
cordng to the pending plans this city would
be in shape to meet its own groWth-needs
for many years with a minimum of ex-
penditure for fire engines and other equip
ment. The mains once laid under the bust
ness district and the steamers scattered
lively small annual increase would suffice
TO give the capital maximum protection. 1t
would probably be necessary to make few
enlargements in the high-pressure system
within the original area of its emplace-
ments and it could be widened in scope as
the business interests spread over larger
section.
Heretofore the Commissioners appeal to
Congress for this appropriation has been
based solely on the theory that the high
pressure service would do the work claimed
for 1t. Now they have facts to lay before
the appropriations committees that should
be absolutely convincing. And it may not
be questioned that the Commissioners will
be able next fall TO persuade the commit
tees that this work, being necessary, is
most economically done at once The cost
of labor and materials is constantly in
-creasing and the installation will never be
80 chedPly accomplished as Immediately
following the earliest possible appropriation
of the funds.

High Pressure Mains.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

An outlay by the municipality of 500 OOO
for the extension of the high-pressure fire
mains. which will result In an Immediate
saving of $4,000 annually paid In extra
premiums in the so-calIed CONFEDERATION
district In the business center will com
mend itself as an eminently wise and prop
er use of the citys moneys. Except as to
the exact amount Of the saving In insur-
ance premiums, which may vary few dol
lars over or under the estimate above
quoted, this proposition is based not upon
theoretical calculations but upon a definite
offer of the insurance underwriters to re-
move the "blue Slip charge of 10 cents per
500 the moment water Is turned into the
new water mains which they desire laid
The immediate benefit would accrue to the
property owners and tenants in the "con-
fagration district" but in a broader sense
the entire city would be the gamer by the
reduction Of Insurance ra tes
All that Is proposed Is to complete the
grtdiron of water mains without extending
the area covered by them. Indeed, so per-
feet has this fire-fighting plant proved itself
IN design and execution that the mains
could safely be extended to the Schuylkill
without the installation of additional pump
ing units. This is one municipal enterprise
which is an honor to Philadelphia, as well
as substantial benefit, and the gradual
widening of its area of usefulness might
well be adopted as a permanent item of our
plans for betterment.

Judge Dunno in New York

with the tale of how the battle was won in
the Windy City, and let them see in his
own person what sort of man it takes to
show the way. 1t Is a time for good feel
ing with him. In the briefest space he has
jumped into national consequence, and he
may be pardoned If his bosom Is stirring
with great expectations His deliverances
since the election indicate that he appre
ciates the difficulties in his way, but he
would be more, or less, than human If he
did not see "a happy issue out of ALL Of

the new and true evangel, and that he

Roosevelt, Clay and Jackson.

At Louisville on Tuesday the President adj
dressed the people from a stand erected in
Front of the court house Without the state
~ building is n bronze statue of Thomas
jefferson, and within marble statue of
Henry Clay. This is from the Presidents
Speech:
II am glad, as I say, of the spirit that
makes you wish to dedicate statues like this
of Jefferson, and like the great statue OF
Clay inside of this court house. 1t is fine
thing to keep to a sense of historic con-
tnuity with the past, and there is one
Statue that | wish the members of the Ma
tional Congress from Kentucky to see Is put
up by the national government, and that is
national statue to Andrew Jackson and
the vctors of the battle of New Orleans.
The fight at New Orleans was one in which
the whole nation has a care, as far as the
glory and the profit went. and the whole ma
ton. and not any one state, should join In
putting that statue up.
The attention of everybody was fixed, of
course on the distinguished speaker but If
some curious person had glanced within the
building when this sentiment was uttered
he might have witnessed the marvellous
spectacle of change of expression on the
face of a craven image. For 1t is inconceiv-
able that even a marble Clay could have re-
manned unmoved with such recommended
ton going forth within a few feet of him.
Bonian democracy. with which the hentucky
Democrats most cOnjure.
The President was soon again on his
travels. but had he remained for a night of
informal socability he might have heard
The story of the Kentucky whig-one of Mr..
Clay's numerous worshipers-who in con-
versation on one occasion. expressed the
hope that when he died he might go to
heaven, for one particular reason.
And what is that?" asked his friend.
Il want to see how Henry Clay and Cen
eraI Jackson are getting along"
How do you know they went to heaven?"
his friend inquired.
''They must have gone there Had they
gone to the other place the devil would long
since have been obliged to close it up.
Heaven may have softened them toward
each other, and If 1t has it will be worth
the trip to see them together"
But the Presidents tribute was to the
soldier rather than to the statesman and
he mentioned the victory that Jackson won
at New Orleans. All Kentuckians know of
that battle, and the great majority can re-
peat the famous old ballad celebrating
their states part in 1t. 1.-The Hunters of
Kentucky has been faithfully handed
down from father to son, and great stress
laid upon these lines:
There stood John Bull in martial pomp,
And here was old Kentucky
AS the Presidents proposition is to erect
the statue here in Washington, some dis
lance from the spot where the proposition
was made, the Clay statue in the Louisville
court house may, upon second thought, and

Russia's Latest Enemy.

Russia's troubles are not confined to the
persistent success of the Japanese army in
Manchuria or the insurgent attitude of the
peasantry and workingmen in various parts
OF the empire. The terrifying specter of the

The Virginia Campaign.

A feature of the Virginia campaign re-
ferred to by The Star the other day is
already rapidly developing. The opponents
of Mr.. Martin in the senatorial race are
twittng him with his lack of oratory, and
assuming that as he does not appear in
the Senate debates he exercises no influ-
ence in that body. Give us. they insist
senator who will measure up to Major
Daniel as a speaker, and then the state
will enjoy her full measure Of considera-
ton. And Governor Montague is pointed
out as the man to fill the bill. The argu-
ment is presented rather aggressively, and
Mr.. Martin Is described by Governor Mon
tague himself the stump as depart
ment runner finding his usefulness in
doing chores for his constituents in hum
drum fashion.
Mr.. Martins friends reply by setting
forth his record. They show what he has
accomplished for the state by the practical
means at his command They admit his
silence on the floor of the Senate but as
sert that senators do not work with their
jaws alone. There is much Of Importance
to be done, and that is done, by the man
who in committee, or informally in per-
sonal conversation, advances and explains
his measures. Such man, they insist, is
their man, and the catalogue they pre-
sent of his performances as senator makes
pleasing page for Virginia readers.
How often, here and there In the coun-
try does this old controversy show IT.
self in our political races! 1t is peculiar
to state, to no section. If the man in Of
flee Is a brilliant speaker, and the man
seeking his place is a silent man of af-
fairs, we hear good deal about the
emptiness of words and the vanity of ora
tors. If the conditions are reversed, stress
is laid on the value of having a man to
represent you who can state your case with
credit to himself and honor to his con-
stituents.
Gov. Montague, who is a capital speaker,
will make the most, we may be sure, Of
his line of the argument. At the same
time he well understands the situation
here. If he wins he will find, after enter
ing upon his duties, that the functions of a
department runner are highly impor-
tant, and that no senator, no matter his
gifts, escapes them. All perform them, and
find their strength at home increased by

Base Ball and Politics.

Consider the case of Adrian c. Anson the

chance for the man of capacity to rise In

slider the situation. The declaration was
boldly made that an improvement In the
economic condition of the people Is neces-
sary as a basis for the preservation OF
health, and that for the future prevention
of epidemcs 1t Is imperative to have radical

among whom otherwise 1t would be impos-
sible to carry out sanitary measures.
A few years ago 1t would probably have
been difficult to induce a representative
body of professional men thus to declare in
favor of economic reforms. But Russia Is
a changed state today. The events of the
past twelve months have opened the mouths
of men. Intelligence is gaining ground. The
truth is being spoken in quarters where
once it was vigorously suppressed. The
great middle class. in which Russia's hope
must lie in this crisis, is arousing itself to
the point of assertion 1t is in peril from
the ultra reactonism of the ruling class
and the radcaism of the lower class. From
its ranks go forth many of the agitators.
but as a body the professionals and mer-
chants are conservative and are inclined to
await events. Now, however, there is ex-
IRENE peril in policy of waiting. The ex-
haustion of the empires blood and treasure
by the losing war in Asia and the reign of
industrial terrorism are cutting deeply into
the incomes of the producers and the neces-
sary workers of the higher order. An out
break of cholera would complete their ruin,
paralyzing industries, wrecking trade and
rendering the country for many months
absolutely helpless.
There is note of sound reasoning in the
warning that economic reforms must pre-
cede sanitary measures. The Russian peas
ant lives as he has been compelled by his
narrow circumstances to live, as his ances-
tors have lived for generations. His habits
cannot be quickly cured, and his necessities
cannot be met by mere DEGREES issued by
medical inspectors. His filth is symptom,
of graver import in itself than the threat
of the plague, for it tells Of the awful strug-
gle for existence which results from CEN
turtles of misrule extortion and compulsory

Recollections of the Englishman who be-

after having been famed as professional
pugilist are revived by this achievement by
an American ball player. Our lower house
of Congress has held number of represent
tatives who have figured in the prize ring
in their early days, but none has risen to
high eminence, not because of prejudice
against mans beginnings, but doubtless
for lack Of capacity. Pop" Arson may not
rise above the level Of a municipal subordi-

chance. and If he makes as good use of 1t
