A Horse on the Horse Show

The New York horse show has created
more excitement among men and women
than among horses. Perhaps this is be-
cause the horse has a reputation for horse
sense. While fashionable folk are fun of
the horse show. the horses have remained
calm and dlgnlhed- This Is especially true
OF the horses OF Washington. The WASH
tngton horses constitute one of the strong
est and most sober and industrious ele-
ments in the city. u course, there are
some fast horses here. but not many
But to the horse show. 1t would be in
structiye to get the opinion of an observ-
ant and intelligent horse On this subject
A horse Of that kind would no doubt say:

forbid that attend such social functions

The Gasoline Hoodlum..

To point out the fault of newspaper is
such a commonplace thing to do that 1t
seems hardly worth doing. So many per-
sons are engaged in doing the same thing.
1t is remarkable that there is no art, in
dustry or profession in which everybody
Is so proficient as the management of a
newspaper Running a newspaper Is such
a simple thing that a girl who cannot bake
a pan of biscuit or darn a sock can tell
just how it should be run and man who
cannot make his own business pay office
rent can give explicit instructions as to
the conduct of a newspaper. One reason
for this Is that many persons used to be
newspaper men. Reporters declare that
they seldom meet a. man who does not
say to them Il used to be a newspaper man
myself" 1t would really seem that not so
very long ago the entire population was en-
gagged In newspaper work
But, for all this 1t is true that the press
often unduly magnifles trifing item. 1t
frequently happens that event taking
place thousand miles from home is given
more space and more consideration than
the same event at home. Take as an Illus
tration this dispatch from New Orleans:
NEW ORLEANS. La. November 49,
John Quinn. an insane railroad man, stole
locomotive from the Southern Pacific yards
at Lafayette, La, and started toward Ope-
lousas at high speed. The operator at
Lafayette wired along the line and trains
got out OF the way.
A lunatic running a locomotive on a rail-
road track with a telegraph operator to give
warning ahead is simply triviality. Why.
in this city--on the whole. the best regu-
lated of them all-there are insane men and
born idiots running locomotives in the public
streets, turning corners with the daredevil
ishness of a aoop-the-looper, and with
hoarse bellowings of horn bidding men
who built the town and own the town to
get off the streets or get off the earth.
That Louisiana maniac was a gentleman
nered cherub In comparison with the gaso-
line hoodlum.

A Sea Level Canal.

A decision was rendered yesterday by
the Isthmian canal board OIL consulting en-
gineers In favor of n sea-level waterway
instead of lock canal, such a. the plans
have heretofore contemplated. This de-
cison is not in the nature of a surprise,
for there have been indications of late
that the board would recommend this de-
parture from the original project. 1t Is
not. however, final, for the boards recon-
menda tions must be made to the Presi-
dent, who must in turn transmit them to
Congress for consideration, inasmuch as
the decision in favor of a sea-level canal,
il approved by the executive, will involve
n material increase in the cost of the en-
terprise.
The people of the United States chiefly
desire two things, n canal in the shortest
possible time compatible with good work
manship, and a canal that viii best serve
the nee DIS Of the worlds commerce. None
but the best. and no useless delays In pro-
vidiinE it. is the cry. The sea-level work
will, of course take much longer to COM
pletc than the lock-system work, for there
Will be much more cutting. 1t will cost
much more, Notwithstanding the fact that
the elimination of locks will save several
heavily expensive constructions. In the
end It Is likely that a sea-level canal Will
be cheaper TO maintain.
But will Congress approve the increased
initial cost and the additional time for con-
struction? The main hope OF the people
at large, irrespective of their individual
views on the technical differences between
the two projects, is that the presentation
of this new issue to the houses will not
result in delays. 1t should not. indeed. for
there is no reason why the work should
not proceed at Panama undated while this
question is being answered with perhaps
characteristics congressional leisureliness at
Washington. There is no reason now to
apprehend any serious attempt on the part
of the irreconciable opponents OF an 18th
milan canal to make an opportunity out OF
this new situation to renew the attack upon
the enterprise in general.
The engineers comprising the consulting
board are world-famed in their professions
and represent the best available talent of
all countries The decision must be accept
ed as wise for the public has no technical
knowledge TO serve as n basis of Judgment.
1t Is of course. apparent to the unframed
mind that sip can more easily and quick
Iy pass through a waterway which Is not
interrupted by locks than through a course
occasionally broken into different levels In
the days To come even more than now the
time of transit will be a vitality important
factor and doubtless this consideration had
large value with the engineers In bringing
khem to the decision they have just rem

The Bell.

Across the hill the breezes fling
An echo of the old church bell;
i hear with silent welcoming
The greeting that I know so well.
IT'S like voice from far away
That bids us for time forget
The cares that haunt us day by day,
The vanished hope, the vain regret.
The busting world with pomp and pride
Moves on nor heeds this spot obscure
Where simple speech is sanetified
To case the pangs life must endure.
"a gentle faith reigns here supreme.

Despite ambitions fevered dream.

quiet Of my stall Is dearer than the &C
claim of a swell audience and the paftel
of gloved hands. Many horses are toe
sensible and too modest to try for prixes on
their shape. But some horses, like some
persons, are not. The artist-model horse

To my mind, a snob horse is not worth as

That OF itself would assure the removal OF
nine-tenths of the typhoid germs. unless Il
II a fact that these germs have peculiar
capacity for Guiding the altering material.
For many years the main burden OF blame
for the prevalence OF typhoid fever was
laid upon the Potomac water. While there
was no direct proof OF infection from this
cause there was strong presumption. An
outbreak of typhoid at Cumberland. or
some other point in the watershed. was
usually followed by the appearance OF the
fever here. Some reliance was placed for a
time In the fact that the typhoid germ
had never been isolated from the Potomac
supply. but In reason the Significance
OF this fact was greatly lessened as the
difficulty In the way of catching and iden-
flying the typhoid bacillus became under
stood. The experience Of other cities In
the altering of the water supply. which
was almost invariably followed by q de-
crease in the typhoid rate, supplied an ar
gument far more effective than the failure
to trace the disease positively to this
source.
This season is far from permitting sat
preventive Of disease. Next year it should

be in good working order and doubtless

1t would be well if Congress were to grant
a sufficient sum to enable the Commission
ers to set to work an expert committee to
devise WAYS and means of more effectively
noting the sources Of the disease and its
methods of transmission. The elimination
of the greater part of the danger from the
water does not complete the task of the
community In this regard. The fight
against infected milk and vegetables and
oysters should be waged with unceasing
vigor to the end that the material gains
from filtration may be joined by gains IN
other directions Washington must be
made as healthful city as science and
liberal expenditure of money permit,

From the Springfield Union.
Secretary Taft Is succeeding admirably
in not being too much pleased at Pattison's
election or too downhearted at Gov. Herr
rick's overthrow In Ohio.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Secretary Taft laughs at the idea that he
Is to be the republican leader In Ohio. SO
