ment, minus the rife but including 100
rounds OF ammunition, Is an accomplish
ment which few would be able to acquire.
With the art highly developed, and an
army we'll taught in the management OF
horses in the water, as recommended
by General WooD, we might be able to
get along with q reduced navy.
Upon one point, long urged by many
of our ablest army men, we agree with
General WooD. That Ia the increase OF
the pay of non-commissioned officers
and the establishment OF a system OF
promotion by selection to the various
grades in that branch Of the service. We
doubt If anything could be done which
would improve the service az much as
that, and the lack Of attention to the
matter is one OF the mysteries OF the
War Department.
While much OF General WOODS report
is only summary and rehearsal OF
ideas advanced and advocated by older
and earlier officers, 1t is document
worthy of note and attention. >....,.

The change in Mayor DUNES views
of the feasibility Of immediate owner
ship" Of street railways is bringing him
into disfavor with those who were so
recently his ardent supporters. At
meeting Of the Municipal Ownership
League, in Chicago, Mr.. T. P, QUINN,
the president of the organization, emp
tied sundry vials of wrath on the head
Of the man who, before his election,
promised 80 much, and who. since his
election, has failed SO signally to carry
out his pledges. 1t is bad enough to
fail but it is worse to be called a jelly
FISH, because of failure. This was Mr..
QUINNs term for the man whom he
declared to be incapable and recreant
to the voters who placed him in office.
1t scents to us that Mayor DuNNE is
more to be piticd than blamed, He has
not shown himself masterful man. His
handling of the situation created by the
tealnsters' strike was not that OF man
of force and determination. 1t is prob
able that he was put at the head OF the
municipal ownership movement rather
than that he put himself there. He was
doubtless honest in his belief that the
plan for acquiring the railway system
could be carried out, and in his enthu-
siasm, stimulated by the enthusiasm of
those who nominated and supported
him, pledged himself to the achievement
of the impossible. We're the situation
reversed, Mr.. QUINN being the Mayor
and Mr.. DUNNE the president Of the
league, it is quite possible that MIR.
DUNNE might now be commenting on
the unfulflled pledges Of "jellyfish. '
Realizing that the position of his op-
ponents cannot be carried by assault,
Mayor DUNNE changes his tactics, but
does not abandon the fight. His mis-
take was made in assuming that an
assault wonld be successful.

A Sane and Sensible Comment on tho
Charges Against the Lanst0n.
From the Journal of Commerce. i.

From the Journal Of Commerce.
We have no doubt that the general public.
IN common with ourselves. will hail with
satisfaction the finding of the Keep Com
mission and President Roosevelt's brief
statement concerning 1t. The commission
finds that the most serious charges made
against the Lanston Monotype Company are
not sustained. At A time when much corrup-
tlon Is being uncovered in the public service
and elsewhere, 1t 10 q matter for general re-
joicing that this corporation should have
been able to maintain its integrity. That
the Ian ston company did try, and not with
out success. to soil It's machines to the Govern
ment; that 1t kept them prominently before
the principal officers Of the public printing
establshm ment; that it extolled their merits
in season and out Of season; that 1t pushed
them to the front with untiring persistency--
these are charges which the company's off,
GERS may bear with equanimlty. With such
matters the public has no concern. But the
rial accu atoms. while including all of these.
went much further They were explicit and
circumstantlal. They included not only GER
tain technical irregularities In the contract
under which the Lansto machines had been
purchased but also a distinct allegation
that the contract In question was made
norrpptly."
The public had previously had much reason
TO believe that the Government Printing
ONCE was managed with undue laxity In
many respects, and thus when these definite
charges of actual corruption were made the
ground was already prepared for them. The
charges were fairly met by the accused and
thoroughly examined by the commission.
There was no disposition on tho one part OF
on the other to belittle the gravity OF tho
matter or TO dodge the real Issue. The find
ing. accordingly. Is entitled to the fullest
credence. And the most important item Of
that finding. an item quoted with approval
by the President. 10 that no evidence was
brought forward from any source or dis
covered by the committee tending to show
any pro mise. payment or consideration OF any
kind whatsoever made by the Lanston COM
pany or any Of its officers or agents to any
person in the Government service"
This We regard as conclusion in which
all good citizens should rejoice. 1t is not
the Ianston company only. or mainly, which
is to be felicitated upon II. The whole COM
munty Is to be congratulated upon the fact
that very important branch OF its public
service 10 guiltless Of this serious charge, at
least. and that In spite of the fierce rivalries
OF modern business and the temptations
often extended to those bidding for public
service this large and important corporation
Is found to have gone straight to its ends
and achieved them by means which could
stand the test Of public investigation.

Yesterday che Tuskegee Normal and In
dustnal Institute, Mr.. BOOKER T. WASH
INoToN's Alabama school for the training
Of negro men and women, began Its twenty
fifth year, anG the school newspaper tells
of new students reporting in larger num-
bers than usual. That paper refers with
satisfaction to ths employment OF a young
Porto Rican graduated at Tuskegee by
the University Of Porto Rico to assist the
Director OF Agriculture in the work OF
founding a school Of practical agriculture
on the island.
An unusual condition at ths opening 0!
the Institute this year is caused by the

are exasperated, as any other people,
and especially people OF Christendom'
would have been under similar circum-
stances.
The mob at Toxic Ia reported to
have burned Christian churches; but the
burning OF Christian churches by mobs
is not a peculiarly pagan method OF ex-
pressing popular evaporation. 1t was
one of the incidents of the Know Nothing
agitation in this country sixty years ago.
For example, two Roman Catholic
churches were destroyed by n n!tive
American mob in Philadelphia
The Japanese are remarkable for their
liberation of religious differences. They
are not enemies of Christianity or OF any
other religion, as the existence OF more
than hundred Christian churches in
Toxic bears witness. But they are more
assertive of their national spirit than they
were before their so illustrious victory,
and accordingly assault on institutions
indicative of a foreign spirit at time
when they feel that they have been
cheated out Of their deserts by Christian
Power is natural enough.
A correspondent Of THE Sun, who
has now returned from Japan, where
he was brought into long contact with
the representatives Of dts sentiment in
all classes, tells us that the Japanese
resent with increasing passion the
common suggestion or accusation that
they are an initiative people who have
been quick to change their whole national
customs under the tuition Of Western
and Christian civilization. Under the
influence OF this resentment there has
grown up among them sort OF ohau-
vinism, a revival Of distinctively
Japanese spirit. They refuse to sit in
the place Of the pupil, and proudly pro-
claim their demonstrated title to be the
preceptor. This fs desirable senti-
ment for them to have, 80 far as con-
Germs their own interests, and it is not
undesirable for the Western world.
The destruction of Japanese individual
ity would be misfortune for mankind,
and it's reassertion and accentuation
are an advantage. Already their art
has suffered from Western influences.
If they are to fulfil their destiny as
the masterful and transforming Power
in the Orient, desirable for all civil
ization, they must preserve their
individuality and their sense Of self
suff1cicncy.
The not surprising excitement at Toxic
simply proves anew that the whole
world Of human nature is akin, pagan
and Christian. As compared with Chris
tian mobs, as for example those Of the
draft riots In New York during the civil
war, the pagan Japanese Of Toxic seem
to have been less hysterical, less brutal
and less bloodthirsty. simultaneously
with the Toxic dispatches telling of the
riots there came the report of the burn
ing at the stake Of negro in Texas by q
mob of two thousand Christians.

Mr.. Fairbanks's bold Utteranoes.

The Hon. CHARLES WARREN FAIR
BANKS blessed and ennobled the Repub-
ncans OF Chester county, Pa, Saturday,
by helping them celebrate the fftieth
anniversary Of their organization. Like
thunder from on high his inpassioned
periods filed the cir. In boldness and
striking originality the advanced stand
he took on the political issues to the So
luton Of which he is bending his energies
was typical OF the man. He announced
his unqualified approval Of the financial
measures enacted by the Republican ma
jorities in Congress after the end OF the
civil war:
The Republican party has stood wisely and well
for the expansion OF American opportunity. 1t
has stood s,cadfasty for the financial credit OF the
country. II brought the Governments credit to o
solid basis following the close OF the dvll war. II
raised II from the confusion and low estate into
which II had fallen In the darkest hours OF that
struggle until IL has become the foremost OF any Of
the Powers OF the earth"
The Chester county Republicans did
rot miss a word. The importance of the
declaration was impressed deep on their
minds. They listened in reverential
silence. Before there was opportunity
for applause Mr.. FAIRBANKS had en-
tered on another subject and was ap-
proving the close Of the Russian-Japa-
rese conflict. Let him who may oppose
PEACE in tho East. Mr.. FAIRBANKS will
rourish and sustain it,
"The events OF the last few weehs have served
TO quicken our national pride. Through the su-
pertor ststesmsnship OF President ROOSEVELT the
United States his made wondrously for the world 8
peace. Through force OF moral suasion the con l.
tending Powers In the Orient were brought to an
honorable cessation OF hostllltlcs. Il Is TO the
honor OF the two great Powers that they should
have come TO a conclusion profoundly desired and
sn1lously awaited by the entire civilized world.
When the passions OF the hour shall have subsidized
these who may question the Justice OF the result
viii see that the end has been wisely ordered"
Mr.. FAIRBANKS serves continually to
quicken our national pride, II is the
Japanese Governments misfortune that
Mr.. FAIRBANKS did not speak earlier.
sThose who may question the justice Of
the result" were uncomfortaby active
in Toxic. Had they heard from Mr..
FAIRBANKS their passions Of the hour"
would have 4subsided' Immediately.
He d the worlds champion passion sub
slider, with no rivals in sight.
Several Chester county Republicans
shook hands with Mr.. FAIRBANKS, the
committee in charge Of the celebration
having provided elevated platforms,
with runways leading up from the
ground, to make this possible. Mr..
FAIABANKs stopped q little and ac-
oepted modestly their congratulations
on his mastery address.

property on the western side Of Greenwood
Lake and will make many improvements
there next year. The land runs along
the western shore mile or more and goes
back into The hills almost the same distance.
Part OF Il was onoe the property Of New

ago TO make that part Of the lake an ex.
otusive resort, after the style Of Tuxedo.
The plans Of Mr.. Hartman are to convert
the property into cottage sites. The un-

A large hotel will be put up on a high hill
overlooking the big lake and close to
smaller sheet Of water known as Surprise
Pond. This latter nestles In a basin
reached by investigating pedestrians by
foot path from the lakeside House.
An automobile road and sta &c road will
be built from the lake to the proposed hotel.
1t Is said Mr.. Hartman has made ar.
raneement With the Erie to extend tho
Susquehanna, which the Erie controls.
from Newfoundland, or Charlottesburg,

After the Accident.

One OF the witnesses Of Monday morn
ing's accident on the elevated railway
declares that the men whom she saw
thrust the women aside and had
apparently no thought for the safety
Of any one but themselves.
An accusation of this kind is rarely
brought against American men who are
involved In accidents. To push aside
or trample on women in panic sfear is
not tho natural or characteristic thing
for an American man to do. Rather, as
those who have had opportunity for
personal observation can testify, the
native born male American keeps his
Wits in time OF danger and sees first to
the safety OF women and children. II
this characteristic coolheadedness and
spirit of intelligent self-sacrifce no
longer animates New York crowds, q
great and regrettable change has been
wrought in their composition within
a comparatively short time.
In general, Mondays accident found
the men and women TO whom the work
of rescue fell ready and prepared. Most
striking ia the case of Policeman HENRY
AIKEN, who, standing on the sidewalk.
was knocked down by fragment of q
car platform and injure ed painfully and
severely. As soon as he could regain his
feet and get his bearings he set to work:
-He began helping people who fell from above
and who seemed worse OF than he was himself

The "old fellow" was veteran patrol
man, pretty thoroughly saturated with
the spirit and traditions Of his work.
A police department that includes such
men, inspired by a sense OF duty such
as set AIKEN at work to help others, is
not wholly bad. The woman who ao-

impulse and a commendable devotion
to duty. Even il there were some men
guilty of cowardly brutality there were

Pagan and Christian Mobs,

The theory put forward by superficial
observers Of the Japanese that they are
a people apart from influences of passion
is disposed of efTectually by the Toxic
riots. It never had any justification.
The heavy debt for the expenses of
the successful conflict, wssed on scale
OF expense never exceeded in war, i'm
poses on Japan burden Of interest pay
ment equal to more than a quarter Of
it's whole budget. The Japanese ex-
peotation, extending to everybody. high
and low, was that the amount Of this
debt would be reimbursed to Japan in the
form Of an indemnity from Russia. They
get not a cent Of indemnity from Russia
under the peace terms. Naturally they
