Companionship Of Flowers.


Ground is scarce on the premises Of Rich
mond inhabitants, but there is room in
every yard for a small flower garden, and
no home Is complete without 1t. Flowers
are not only pleasing to the eye, but are
enjoyable and helpful in many ways. If one
will only make companions of them We
are all more or less influenced by our en-
vfronment, and what environment can be
sweeter and purer than the associa ton of
fragrant flowers?
Ever hear of the bicycle face" or the
automobile face?' 1t means that riding
for long on one of these vehicles will stamp
a certain expression your countenance
1t is far more certain that constant asso-
citation with flowers, in the right spirit will
fill the heart with good sentients. and good
sentients continually entertained will al
ways assert and express themselves in the
face. Moreover, flowers are desirable COM
panions because they are so apprecia tive of
Ettle attentions and generous in turn.
Give them a good working and a good
sprinkling and before long they will not
only show you smiling face. but will pre-
sent you with a lapful of blossoms, with
fragrance thrown in as an expression of
gratitude. They are very refined compan-
ions and always do the genteel thing. We
wish all men and women were always as
genteel

Washington the wonder grows apace that
the hospital authorities. whatever the size

secured all the windows. 1t IS better that
the hospital should resemble a prison. If
necessary. than that patients should injure
and perhaps as in a recent case. kill them
selves while suffering from mentally unbal-
ancing diseases. Patients who are perfect
ly safe and reliable cannot reasonably OBJ
ject to barred windows. and the public, it Is
certain. will never think the less of them for
being under treatment in a well-secured
hospital. With such safeguards the respon-
sibilities Of the nurses and physicians would
be greatly modified.

Secretary Taft to the Fiipinos.

The Filipinos entertain profound respect
for Secretary Taft. They have had expert
ence of his capacity as an executive, and
good reason to believe in his sincerity as
man. Hts departure from the Islands to
take up the duties of Secretary of War was
much regretted, and many expressions OF
the feeling. by public meetings and other
wise, were given. Upon his return on
visit he has been enthusiastically greeted.
and no man of the distinguished party of
Americans now at Manila is heard with as
much attention.
1t is fortunate, therefore, both for the
Fflipinos and ourselves that in his speech
at Manila last night Secretary Taft should
have explained to his audience the divi-
sions Of American sentiment on the subject
of the future of the archipelago. No man
knows that sentiment better, and the sum-
mary Of his remarks that comes by cable
shows that no man could have stated it
more fairly or correctly. Immediate inde-
pendence for the islands, or virtually that,
has twice been rejected by the American
people at the polls. and it has no strength
with the electorate today. The proposition
which is widely approved is that of self
government for the Filipinos at as early
day as they can be prepared for 1t. To that
are committed and are working. and 1t Ia
for the Frlipinos to assist by improving
the opportunities of education which have
come to them through American occupa-
ton and control
Such Ia the case In a nutshell. and 1t Will

sideration The policy OF the President Is
the policy of his party, and whoever Is
nominated by the republicans in 1908 to sue
coed him in the White House will stand on
a platform indorsing our course in the ar
chipelago. What the democratic platform OF
that year will contain on the subject is a
question, but there is safety in the predic-
ton that that party will not go before the
country again with what Is called anti
Imperialism in the foreground. Scuttle Is
not In the American vocabulary. and the ef-
fort to insert 1T there Is not popular. AS We

cumstance. leading possibly to his arrest

ously wrong not.
The numbering system is not only a pro-
lection to the public from the antics or the

Mr.. Watterson Returns.

1t is evident from their comments that

What does 1t matter whether both are

candidate? They are no further apart now
than they were last year. and then both
worked hard for Judge Parker. and Mr..
Watterson carried his state for the demo-
cratic nominee. Could not both work to-
gether for the democratic candidate In 1898?
Why not? Will they not? It IL more than
likely. 1t approaches certainty. So that

As for the fact that Mr.. Watterson con-

he claimed It for his own side last time.

Eastern Branch IMPROVEMENT.

Col Leachs report of the work done and

costa river. summarized In The Star yes
terday. attests satisfactorily to the fact
that practical start has at last been made
on his long-delayed project. This improve
ment was sorely needed twenty-five years
ago. 1t should have been undertaken along
with that ordered for the western front OF
the city. which was itself too long delayed
by unwisely economical Congresses. Had
the two works been ordered simultaneously,
fifteen years before the word was actually
given for the Potomac improvement, the to-
tai cost to the government would doubtless
have been much less than 1t proved to be,
and the Anacostia problem would have
been easily solved.
1t was characteristic OF the way In which
Congress treated the capital for many years
that season after season was allowed to
pass after It had become thoroughly estab-
lshed that not only was the local shipping
but the public health severely suffering be-
cause of The delay In beginning the harbor
work The demonstration Of sanitary bet
terment afforded by the Potomac work was
complete. The health OF the western section
OF the city was materially improved when
the marshes were filled up and the tides were
given a free chance to flow and scour out
the sewage. Nevertheless. while report af-
ter report had been filed by the engineer Of
fcers. with the most urgent recommended
tions by their chiefs and by Secretaries of
War. Congress dallied with the Eastern
branch case for many years. and at last
proceeded to the authorization of the work
only when the Senate park commission had
pointed out the opportunity that would be
afforded for landscape improvements by the
reclamation OF the acres now covered by
river detritus and sewage deposits.
1t is good to>know that the work is going
forward at the maximum rate and there is
no reason now to doubt the willingness of
Congress to continue the appropriations in
sufficient sums TO enable the officers in
charge TO push the project to the earliest
possible conclusion. The lives of thousands

ditions which this engineering enterprise Is
designed to cure. and time Is of the greater
Importance now after so much has been
wantonly wasted by Congress.

The President at Chautauqua.

The Monroe doctrine is a subject of peren-
NAL interest. and whenever the President
tackles It he acquits himself well. He has
studied It In all of It's meanings. and his In
depreciation of 1t is up to date and business
like. Regarding 1t as deliverance of great
moment he insists that 1t must be sup
ported with all emphasis. and that we should
be prepared at all times to back II up II nee
essary with force. Which, the anti-impe-
rialists will tell us. is but another nudge
about bigger navy.
Well suppose 1t is? Is the game not
worth the candle? If Japan had been able
to assert few years ago sort of Monroe
doctrine as to Manchuria and Korea her
terrible war with Russia would have been
averted. But when Russia began her en-
croachments Japan could but mildly pro-
test. She was not prepared to strike, al
though able to see that the presence and in
fiuence of Russia In those parts were
menace to her. and that sooner or later war
must come. Russia continued her game,
UNTIL at last. Japan having gotten ready
asserted herself, and the result is appalling
to the whole world
We do not intend II we can help 1t that
any European power shall establish any
base of operations on this side of the water
that the possession of Manchuria and her
influence In Korea gave Russia against
Japan. We are prepared. as Japan was
not. to assert ourselves in time. We have
today no unweIcome neighbors Our wishes
on that subject are known, and have never
been more respected than now.
The opponents of big navy are as a
rule. opponents of the Monroe doctrine.
They pooh-pooh the idea of danger from
colonization by European powers IN this
hemisphere. and would be glad to see
Central and South America come under
European sway. What business of ours Is
1t. they ask. what influences prevail down
there II progress goes on and development
takes place? But the President voices the
popular side of the question. and the coun-
try will indorse the appropriations neces-
sary TO the support OF our pretensions.

The Insurance Investigation.

lature appointed to investigate insurance
conditions in that state has at last secured
counsel and will begin work at once. At
tention will follow every step of the pro-
ceedings. The job is huge. difficult and
many-sided. Interests of wide variety
are involved. and people from Maine to
Texas. from New York to California. have a
stake in the business. Startling develop
ments are expected, and such may at
once impair the usefulness of men hitherto
prominent in insurance affairs. and force
change in the methods of transacting in
surance business. The disclosures in the
case of the Equitable Life have sown wide
spread dlstrust, and the only remedy is a
thorough overhaulng OF all the books and
a frank publication of whatever the books
and practices may reveal.

Mum bering Motors

II may be doubted whether there are
many motor owners who sincerely decry
the practice now common In the states and
citles or offictally numbering the automo-
o'ies' w hen the plan was proposed after
the motoring craze had begun to devotion
ana there were many accidents and gen.
erai lack OF Identification. the outcry that
was raised by the motor owners might have
suggested to visitor from Mars that the
community at large proposed to require all
motorists to wear convict stripes as A
badge OF shame. But common sense and
prudence had their way. and the numbers
were Affixed. and today an unnumbered
motor is at once pursued by the law and It's
owner or user roundly fined, while the
great body of motorists applaud the act.
This change IS significant 1t shows that
the sound reasoning of the original PROPOSE
ton to tag the machines appeals to all who
own them and who realize the danger of an
unlimited use OF the streets and an I'M
checked abuse of their speed possibilities
Too many are the cases OF utterly reckless,
criminal actions on the par. of motorists
which have cost lives and limbs to permit
any reasonable person now to doubt the
