Reform in Texas.

A beautiful picture Of Texas is
printed by a Washington man who has
just returned from a tour of Houston
and the Alamo. Texas. he recalls, is
the place which was described by Gen
eral Sheridan as fair rental but poor
residence property. General Sheridan
was convinced that if he owned both
he would let out Texas and make his
summer home in hades. But a change
has come over Texas. The Washington
man says it is tame as New England.
This is not quite satisfactory, as New
England is Of different degrees of tame
ness, but it means that Texas is tame
as compared with what It used to Be.
Formerly Texas was inhabited by per.
sons who indulged in language unfit for
a gentle reader, and habits which could
be adequately pictured only in Ber.
nard Shaw drama. These playful per.
sons drank whisky until they became
gin soaked and then sailed forth to
shoot the stars out of the sky. Such
was their skill with the g weepun that
few planets or satellites ventured to
show themselves and Texas thus ac.
.quired the sobriquet of the lone star
state. This star was probably too FAT
off or too much on the bias to afford
fair mark.

not sustained by the experience Of
either the interstate commerce commits

Commissioner Prouty has already, thru
the columns of T b e Journal elabo-
rated on this point and shown how. the
commission refused to interfere with
the special rates made by the Great
Northern railroad in the case of oriental
shipments, about which Mr. Hill has
made so much complaint. AS a matter
Of fact, the commission did not require
the railroad company to do the things
of which Mr.. Hill complains because
they recognized the peculiar conditions
existing. In the Indiana case they
acted upon the same principle. The
railroad literary bureau has done the
cause of government rate regulation a
service in calling attention to this In
diana case, which shows that the claim
that government rate-making is not de-.

LINER AFIRE TN
MID.OCEAN GALE
Most of the Passengers Kept in
Ignorance of Peril, to Avert
Panic.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, Nov. 3.-While fighting a
heavy gale in midocean, a fire was dis
covered on the Hamburg American
liner Graf Waldersee, which arrived
here yesterday, but, owing to the eX-
treme care exercised by the stewards
and officers of the vessel, most of her
passengers were ignorant of the fact.
The passengers who were aware Of
the fire which took place last Friday
night were quickly sought out by off
GERS of the steamship and cautioned. to
keep quiet on the subject, as there was
no danger. and any word Of the fire
among the many cabin and steerage
passengers might cause a serious panic.
The fire was discovered by Max
Hirschfeldt, musical director of New
York theater, who, while walking with
Jacques Bars, noted French tenor,
on the upper deck, smelled smoke.
While Mr.. Bars went below to look
after his wife and little son, Mr..
Hirschfeldt ran as fast as possible down
the stairway. He says he saw flames
coming from the pantry, but added
that as soon as he reached the pantry
stewards and other officers of the ship
were quickly on the scene, armed with
extinguishers, and the blaze was quick
ly put out.
While some of the officers were fight
ing the blaze, others circulated among
the passengers and sought out those
who had smelled smoke and knew of
the fire and cautioned them to remain
quiet on the subject, thereby avoiding
a panic. Investigation showed that a
box which was kept in the pantry had
caught fire.

FROM CHURCH CHOIR
TO SHOPLIFTER'S CELL

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Mary Louise Hill,
the young woman whose disappearance
from her boarding house Oct. has
caused a sensation in police circles for
more than a week, has been found in
the bridewel.
Miss Hill, who for some time was a
member of the choir of Moody 5 church,
has been a prisoner in the house Of
correction since Oct. 10 under the name
of Mrs. Anna Harold. She was COM
mitted to that institution by Justice
Caverly to serve a fine of $40 for dis,
orderly conduct, having been arrested
on a charge of shoplifting. Late yes
terday she was released from custody
when her fine was paid by friends.
The woman made her true identity
known to Superintendent Lynch of the
house of correction after prisoners who
had just been brought into the insti.
tuition told her of the excitement caused
by the. disappearance Of Miss Hill.

Within this conduit are electric wires
as well as shaft which gives mechar
ieal connection between the mechan-
ism of the motor car and that within
the man. This mechanism is ingen
iously contrived so that the walking
of the man is most natural. He lifts
his feet and advances them with a
life-like motion. He walks at the rate
of two or three miles an hour, with
stride just thirty-six inches in length.
The electric man hauling his car may
be seen daily for some time adVertis-
ing "The School Girl. - His strolls
will be from 10 am to 2 PM, and from
4 to pm At II am, II noon, and l
pm, and at and 6 pm, wherever
the car happens to be, the man will
throw out large supply.of envelopes.
Within some of these envelopes the
lucky finders will discover free admit
tances and seats to some performance
of ssThe School Girl.
The car which the electric man pulls
is decorated with signs of .sThe School
Girl, especially attractive being two
life-size copies of The School Girl, -
one on each side of the car. and ex.
tending some distance above it.

Russia's Government Problems.

The details of creating cabinet for
Russia under the imperial manifesto
are subjected to criticism as being
too complicated and smacEing Of bu-
reaucracy. The fact that even when
the cabinet is unanimous the premier
must go to the emperor for instructions
is also criticised as leaving the final
authority with the sovereign, whereas,
the revolution meant that it should
pass from his hands to accredited rep
resentatives Of the people. There is a
disposition to condemn the exemption
Of the imperial court, the army and
navy and foreign affairs from the con-
troll Of the cabinet.
It is plain that the people will not
take the shell, leaving the oyster to
the bureaucracy. Yet the exemptions
complained of are probably there with
the consent of Count Witte, who has
been selected to head the first cabinet.
Witte is not entirely convinced that
Russia is fitted for representative gov
ernment Rather than see the scheme
of liberty break down entirely, he
PROBABLY laVOrS HllXeQ-- government

is the opportunity to build up demo
cratic institutions rather than the open
ing to strike; at bureaucracy that ap-
peals to him.. He has pictured a gov
ernment which would, grow into full
stature, rather than one sprung full
grown from the loins of the people.
This theory, if held by NJ. Witte, will
make his task exceedingly difficult. He
will be hedged about with distrust on
all sides. The .revolutionists will see
in him the right arm Of bureaucracy.
The bureaucracy will see in him only
the menace of advancing republican,
ism. Yet there is scarcely room for
doubt that NJ. Witte IS idea of q progress
sive evolution of institutions is the
correct one for Russia. Education
must precede universal suffrage. Ac-
tual contact with legislative problems
on the part of the douma would wisely
precede any. effort to thrust the whole
responsibility for the empire upon its
shoulders.

Irrigation and Politics.

+ Senator %Hansbrough and Senator
Carter are credited: with plan to re-
move the irrigation work from the in
terror department and place it under
someone independent Of cabinet con
troll. Whether rightly or not, this is
suspected of being movement to
bring this irrigation work under polit-
ical control. There has been more or
less opposition for some time emanat-
ing largely from North Dakota politi-
clans, against the government plan for
spending money in irrigation work. It
has been claimed, among other things,
that North Dakota was contributing
more than her share of the money and
| not getting her, share of the, expendi-
ture on irrigation work. ~ '' d. = '~''' =
The first trouble with that complaint
is that North Dakota doesn't need
much irrigation, and the land which
the government sells in that state, and
on which it realizes money for irri-
cation work, belongs to the govern
ment and not to the state of North
Dakota. North Dakota is benefited by
| having the land sold to settlers and
having it occupied and improved. If
the government can spend the money
to better advantage in irrigation some
where else than it can in North Da-
kota, it would certainly be very fool
ish to waste it in North Dakota. North
Dakota is in no different position with
reference to that money now than it
was before the reclamation work was
undertaken. Money was received from
government lands and converted into
government revenues, but was not ex-
pended in North Dakota any more be.
fore reclamation was undertaken than
it is now. It is altogether unlikely
that congress will allow this work,
| which has been so splendidly inaugu-
rated, to be spoiled by an effort to con-
| vert it into political merchandise. ii.

William j. Bryan's letter welcoming
Grover Cleveland to Nebraska did not
arrive in time for the celebration.
Parry ys. Roosevelt.

Mr.. d. NJ. Parry, whose obstreperous
personality makes itself evident wher-
ever there is an opportunity for a
" scrap" seems to have inserted his
foot in it UP to his joint at Chicago.
Mr.. Parry made himself the spokes-
man of the rump convention. and was
very loud in his depunciation of the
presidents policy "of confscation.
He got considerable railroad applause
and hand of two from number of
manufacturers who thought he repre-
sented the National Manufacturers as
.sociation, of which he is president.
But it would seem as tho the ques-
.tion that remains to be settled is
whether Mr.. Parry did represent the
association. A number of members Of
the Michigan branch believe he did not
They have called conference which
viii pass upon the question Of Mr.. Par
irry,s right to represent them. The
chances are that when this conference
is heard from it will become known
that Mr.. Parry did not represent Michi-
gan. The presidents policy has many
friends in that state. In fact, the pres
ident 8, stirring up the railroad-rate
question has been of the greatest bene-
fit to the state. The outrageous
charges of the refrigerating car lines
which had taken all the profit out Of
fruit-growing in the state, have been
reduced since the president began his
campaign. The Pere Marquette rail
road, has abrogated an offensive con-
tract with the Armours, and fruit
growers are beginning to breathe, again
in Michigan. Other lines Of business
naturally sympathize with this great
state industry.
The Indignation over. Mr.. Parry s
performances at Chicago is, therefore,
general and will make itself felt. One
trouble with Mr.. Parry is that he looks
upon every discussion as. strike, a
strike against his personal and sacred
views, and he goes in the air over it.
Whatever is not in accord with his pre-.
conceived views is criminal socialism.
He has been able to bluff some peo-
pie off the. map, but when he goes
against the president, representing a
policy of law and order versus monop-
oily, he has probably undertaken more
than nature intended should be imposed
upon his capacity. .''> -, E

Rising to Higher Levels.

" Senator Washburn struck a note in
his interview on the mayors Sunday
closing order yesterday which is sure to
meet with a hearty response in this COM
munity. We are quite sure we are right
when we repeat that public sentiment
on this Sunday saloon question has ma
terially changed from what it was some
years ago, and this change is a part of
the general raising Of standards both in
public and in private life. It is part
of that wave of reform-if we may so
describe it-which has set about up
roofing commercial as well as~political
graft, which has raised the standard
of what the public requires of the
amusement stage, which has established
new rules and practices in the matter Of
indulgence in Intoxicating drinks
among business men and which has ef-
fected an advance in business and social
morality all along the line. Sobriety,
morality, the "square deal' have the
call today in the public mind more than
they have ever had before, and the SUN
day closing of an institution so vicious
in it's influence as the. ordinary liquor
saloon is altogether in harmony with
this general change in public sentiment.
We are inclined to agree with Senator
Washburn in his view that fourteen
months Of Sunday closing rigidly en-
forced by D. P. Jones will establish
such results and produce such state
of public sentiment in this community
that no mayor will be likely to return
to the old order. ..~- 5...-,.-.. .-. Re-.

A giant calmly walking down Mic

automobile behind him, attracted the
attention of hundreds Of people to-
day. The giant was "The Electric
Man. of s'The School Girl ~ company
which will be the attraction at the Met
ropolitan theater all next week. With
eyes straight to the front, and with
firm tread, the electric man strobe
along, apparently unconscious of the
crowd of people gazing upon him, OBJ
ivious of the score or more of small
boys following the autocar down the
street and calling to him.
The electric man is six feet, six
inches tall, and wears a great derby
hat, which adds another six inches to
his height. He is clothed in dark
serge suit. To all appearances he is a
real man, the only thing which brings
question as to his actual connection
with the human family being his great
height. Close examination of the OUT

large iron pipe several inches in diam
eter projecting from the car and en-
tering the back of the electric man.

Government Rate MAKING,

The circular letters issuing from the
railroad literary bureau I'M New York
express surprise at the action Of the
Indiana railroad commission in approx
ing discriminating rates already in ex-
istence in that state. It appears that
rates on coal to g. former gas belt were
made less when the consignment was to
certain. manufacturing industries Of
that belt than when the coal was con-
signed to traction companies and what
are called Il domestic consumers. In
fact, there appear to have been three
rates in effect on the same quality of
coal from the same place to the same
destination 8 The industries got the low
rates, the traction companies the in
rate was charged the domestic con-
sumner. y -. @t.
There was complaint because Of dis
elimination and the commission were
expected co wipe it out, but refused to
do SO. They recognized the fact that
the manufacturing industries which re-
ceived the lowest rate represented an

and employed several thousands of men.
To equalize rates to these industries
with those made to other consumers in
the same district would have necessi-
tated such an advance as to- destroy
these Industries. The state railroad
commission, after full hearing, left

topics of discussion are, the Independent
tendency in American politics, as illus
trated in Mr.. Jerome's fight for re-elec-
tion in New York and in other local
campaigns in various parts of the coun-
try; the question of insurance manage
ment; the meeting of Russia's first par

election; the lessons in sanitation taught
us by Japan's recent war experience; the
movement for. church federation in Amer

by Jews to our national life (apropos of
the wo-hundred -and-flftieth anniversary
of the landing Of the first Jews in Amer
