New Equipment for the Rock Island

New equipment LOT Ine MOCK 1slahu
1t has been announced that to provide
for the increased volume of traffic on
Rock Island lines, large amount of new
equipment will be delivered, during the
month of March, on orders placed several
months ago. 1t is indicative of the in
dustrial and commercial prosperity of
Rock Island states that, even before the
receipt of the new equipment, it has been
found necessary to place another large or
der for delivery in the early summer.
The rolling stock which will be placed
in service this month includes 20 new
pattern passenger cars from the Pullman
shops, which embody so many comfort
contributing devices that they make a
distinct advance in day passenger equip
ment. Ten of the cars will be 7Ofoot
chair cars, furnished with 81 twin reclin-
ing chairs, seating as many people. 1he
cars are equipped for lighting both by
Pintsch gas and electricity and are fitted
with electric fans, for ventilation and
cooling.
The other ten cars are 70-foot vesti'
buled coaches, with seating capacity for
so. The seats are upholstered IN maroon
plush, otherwise the decorations are the
same as in the chair cars. All the cars
have very large double plate glass win
dows and are equipped with Pullman
standard siX-wheel trucks.
An order is also in for over 1000 freight
cars of various kinds.
The Rock Island will also receive dur.
ing March Go new locomotives of various
kinds, including Pacific type passenger,
10 Atlantic type passenger, 10 freight and
90 switch engines. An additional order
for 90 locomotives will be placed in the
near future, for delivery in the summer.
This new equipment, which is to be
added to from time to time, places, the
Rock Island in the front rank among
western railroads in the matter of trans
portation facilities. The foresight mani.
tested in thus meeting, and adequately
providing for, the exigencies of increased
traffic, is characteristic of the progressive
policy of the Rock Island management.

Human Sponges

The manager Of large dress max
ing establishment in New York says:
81 suppose that the most un-American
immigrants we get in this country
are not The Chinese or the Poles or the
Hungarians, but the Partisan SEAM
stresses, milliners and lingerie-work-
ers. These women come here to save
the price of a dot out of our high
American wages. 1t takes from two
to five years to do that In all that
time they never mix with Americans,
never visit theater, never make the
first attempt to learn the language.
Some of them go to the French church
on Sundays; otherwise they never
leave their rooms except TO shop. This
prenuptial period in New York is just
a time dropped out of their lives.

The seriousness of fire losses in the
one gets down to details. Here is an
interesting comparison: The revenue
of the state Of Maine in 1903 was, in
round numbers, $2,55O,O0O; the damage
done by fires in the state during that
year is estimated at 5000 more than
th>t sum, without taking into account
the destruction by forest fires, which
would have added more than $lO0OO0
on the wrong side. Doubtless almost
any other state would make quite as
bad a showing; but such figures,
wheresoeyer found, are full OF sugges-
tion.

The Freer Collection.

In all but formal terms the offer of Mr..
c. L. Freer to bequeath his valuable art
collection to the Smithsonian was yesterday
accepted by the regents of the institution.
1t is now proposed that Mr.. Freer shall
send to Washington this winter represen-
tative portion of his collection, in order
that the magnitude and value of the gift
may be appreciated. This is conservative
manner of considering proposition for the
enrichment Of the art of the capital, and
perhaps in view of the Importance of the
occasion 1t is for the best, In that 1t en-
phasizes the significance attached by the
regents to such patriotic bequest
a difference is pointed out between the
gift as a bequest and as a donation, and it
is indicated that as Mr.. Freer's offer now
stands it Is his intention, If the regents OF
the Smithsonian willing, to draw his
will In such terms that upon his death the
entire collection shall come to Washington.
to be established In building to be pre-
viously erected from funds of his providing.
At the same time 1t has been credibly re-
ported that Mr.. Freer is DESTROYS of per-
sonally experimenting the empla cement of
the collection in its final home. and it would
not be surprising If in the end he decides SO
to change the terms of his gift as to erect
the building and transfer the entire gallery
to the Smithsonian within a, few years
There is. however, little essential differ
ence between the two propositions. The
main thing is the desire of the connoisseur
to insure the permanent housing of his col
lection at the national capital as part of
the great exhibit of art treasures now in
process of accumulation Art is immortal
and time is a negligible quantity. Mr..
Freer's expressed wish is an Inspiration
which of itself, if encouraged by the spirit
of acceptance at this end, Is certain to
spread widely and TO cause other wealthy
collectors to regard Washington as the
proper art center of the country.
The exhibition this winter of a portion of
the collection should greatly stimulate in
terest in art matters on the part of MEM
bers Of the government and Congress- There
is need of an occasional arrest of thought
of this character. There was no doubt
much benefit to the District in the mere
display Of the plans and models of the SEN
ate's park commission, which disclosed the
limitless opportunities of Washington In
the way of artistic development To the
end of securing the greatest possible ben
eft from such an exhibition 1t Is to be
hoped that Mr. Freer will be willing to send
a large number of paintings, etchings and
art objects of all descriptions so that this
display may be educative and at the same
time permit full conception of the char
acter of the whole. There need be no fear
If all that has been said of this collection by
competent judges is true, of a most critical
scrutiny of the Freer gallery, whether re-
garded as the private property of a conno,s-
seur or the materials for great national
gallery.

has ON the face of things an adverse ma
jority in commons. 1t does not take once
in response to a call from the country
after a general election. It Is forced by
the withdrawal of the unionists TO take up
the burden and responsibility of admins
tration and prepare for an appeal to the
people In defensive attitude, thereby los
ing its possible advantage an attacking
force. But in addition 1t suffers from the
lack of strong leadership. Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman Is not a commanding
figure. He has been the ostensible leader
OF the minority in the lower house for sew
eral years, having succeeded finally to
Lord Rosebery's titular leadership OF his
party upon that statesman's retirement
from public activities. AS opposition man
ager he has never displayed any pro-
nounced qualities. He has had many OPP
portunities to strike home when the gov
eminent was weak, but whether for lack
of force or unwillngness to run the risk
of questionable success, he has never ac-
complished any serious damage to the min
istry.
In a recent speech at Stirling Sir Henry
practically pledged the liberal party to
revival of the Irish home-rule question His

planned his attitude in a way to placate
some of his critics. But the suspicion has
been raised and he and his party enter Of
flee virtually charged with the task of
winning Irish support, without which the
liberals will be early in a sore plight If
they do not sweep the country at the gen
eral elections, to be held probably shortly
after the holidays.
If the Irish question is revived the pro-
ceedings of parliament will at least be
more entertaining and sprightly than they
have been for several sessions There is
always assurance of something doing when
the compact little party from over the
channel has reason, to fight. A close combi
nation of the Irish and the liberals would
still. however need further reiaforcements
to hold strong front to the opposition,
and there is already talk of an alliance be-
tween this combination and the small but
solid labor party, which is ably led by Kier
Hardy. A modernized liberalism, inclusive
of the several protagonists of the "popu-
lar issues, might manage to keep in bust
ness for a few seasons despite the lack OF
a commanding figure at the front.

The Campaign Against Doodle.

In renewing his Recommendation for
law requiring publicity in the matter of
Campaign contributions and expenditures
In federal elections the President says:
In political campaigns in country as
large and populous as ours 1t is inevitable
that there should be much expense of an
entirely legitimate kind. This of course,
means that many contributions, and some
of them of large size, must be made, and,
as a matter of fact. in any big political
contest such contributions are always made
TO both sides. 1t is entirely proper both to
give and receive them unless there is an
improper motive connected with either gift
or reception. If they are extorted by any
kind of pressure or promise, express or Inn
piled, direct or indirect. in the way of favor
or immunity, then the giving or receiving
becomes not only improper but criminal.
1t will undoubtedly be difficult as mat
ter of practical detail to shape an act which
shall guard with reasonable certainty
against such misconduct; but If 1t is pos
sible to secure by law the full and verified
publication In detail of all the sums con-
tributed to and expended by the candidates
or committees of any political parties the
result cannot but be wholesome"
We should all hope for a remedy. but
we should not. as the President himself
does not, shut eye to the difficulty of pro-
viding one. 1t is easy to see the evil. 1t
is now so great it announces itself, and it
grows with time. Money, money, every
where. and much of 1t going into the
pockets, not of average voters, but of man
aging politicians, who, as election time ap
proaches. go to candidates and their rich
friends, and by a cock and-bull story that
the other side is spending freely collect
freely themselves, and salt DOWN in their
own wallets liberal share of the swag.
There are miserable little strikers of this
kind all over the country, and If they could
be reached and dealt with properly great
benefit would result.
Just now the d.-..culty of securing wise
and effective legislation is Increased by the
universally of the cry against the evil.
Gossip as to heavy expenditures, known
facts about heavy collections and disputed
election returns have developed sort of
hysteria on the subject. Everybody Is
shouting at once for relief and pointing
out with both hands in the air how it may
be obtained. AS loud as anybody else are
old boodlers who never got anything in
their lives that they did not pay for, who
have grown tired of putting up" and are
more anxious today about protecting their
own dough bags" than raising the tone
of political morality They are resolved
TO be honest. and will be, If the national
government will exert itself by law to sup
port their spineless virtue.
There could not be a more meritorious
cause than that of protecting the ballot
box against the men who debauch It. either
with money. or with the votes of repeaters
or by juggling with forms of ballots, or by
falsifying returns. But the work is for men
with clean hands and regulations, aud not
for blase boodlers and their underlngs in
Office or out.
