coxSrLAR BUSINESS HETBODs

Senator Lodge aims at having the foreign
business Of the government conducted in
businesslike way. That is the purpose of his
bill for the reorganization of the consular ser
vice which is now before the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. His view is that the
consular service is essentially a business ser
vice, seldom having anything TO do with di-
plomacy or politics in the common meaning Of
those terms and that therefore ii should he
organized and directed TO the end of making its
business efficiency as great possible pre-
cisely the same principle that which
great mercantile house would organize n branch
Office in a foreign country. That view of the
service is unquestionaby the right one. and
the provisions of Senator Lodges bill seem ad-
mirably adapted to its practical realization.
Briefly stated, it is proposed to make a sys
tematic classification of all consular officers and
their salaries, in various grades to which the
present members OF the force will be assigned.
The President WIFI be free to transfer from
one place to another IN the same grade. in
order 20 get each man into the place he is best
fitted to I'LL; but original appointments will be
made only to the lower grades upon the basis
OF capacity demonstrated IN examination and
places in the higher grades will be filed only
by promotion from the lower. There will also
be consular inspection service. which Will be
10 the consulships much what the bank exam
liners 70 the national banks. In this way
the consular service will be made permanen;
service, Ike the army and navy, in which nen
will be sure OF retention on good behavior and
OF promotion for merit, and which 2 first rate
man can enter with full confidence CT n salts
fact1ry career
In the Same practical and blsinesslike spirit
the DILL provides that all consular clerks. as
well as the consuls themselves shall be Ameri-
can citizens: that consular officers shall not
engage In business on their own account. not
even IN law business; that all fees received are
TO be accounted for and the consular officers
compensated with adequate salaries. and that
the consular fees for certifying invoices shall
be ineasurabiy proporioned to the amounts OF
the invoices These provisions are intended to
remedy grave faults which have long been
recognized in the service and they seem well
calculated 20 do so. Their effect will be at once
for the increased efficiency Of the service. for
the advantage Of the government in the 8 ~
plifcation and systenatzation Of lis hilsi.t>,s
and for the material welfare of tie consular of

DISCIPLINE AT ANNAPOLIS.

The law relative TO hazing at the Naval
Academy which Congress passed in 1908 pro-
vides that any mdShipman found guilty" of
the practice shall ''be Summarly expelled The
enactment has been interpreted as giving to the
superintendent of the institution and to the
Secretary of the Navy, in cooperation the
power TO dismiss an offender where they have
no doubt as to the propriety of so doing To
avoid a mistake, however, Secretary BOnaparte
asked the Attorney General for opinion on
this point a few days ago, and Mr.. Moody re-
plies that the prescribed penalty cannot be
imposed until after court martial has passed
on the case Now to establish the guilt of
a student beyond reasonable doubt TO the sat
isfaction of such tribunal is far from easy.
and the necessary proceedings must always in
volve delay Secretary Bonaparte is unable,
therefore to act promptly and energetically
as he thinks occasion may require; and he ap-
peals to Congress to give him power to infiict
the punishment provided by law when he has
himself become convinced of the prOprety OF so
doing He feels that the maintenance of dis
cipline demands the possession of this authority.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will comply
with Mr.. Bonaparte's request The legislation
of two years ago was good. so far as it went;
but it begins to look as if it did not go far
enough Besides it's effect was in some meas
ure destroyed by the restoration, through Con
gressional action, of three men who were dis
missed last year What is most needed at
present is greater firmness in dealing with VIC
lations of the rules When the young men who
are tempted to indulge in such disregard of the
first principle of military service-obedience-
realize that their discharge from the academy
will indeed be summary" their self-control
will be wonderfully stimulated If Congress
refuses to give the Navy Department the power
now sought it will assume large share of
the responsibility for any trouble which may
occur in the future.

TycOMFoRTABLr NARROW ESCAPES.

The press has been called on TO record a re-
markabIe series of accidents in this city within
the last few days. On Monday before dawn two
men were imprisoned in tunnel in Long Island
Civ hy the caving in of earth above it, The
next day the explosion Of q forgotten dynamite
cartridge where excavation was in progress for
the foundations of a new building resulted fatal
w That evening one person was killed and
many were injured by railway collision on the
Park-ave viaduct Yesterday there were two
fires one destroying a workhouse in which five
hundred or six hundred women were detained.
and the other running two ferryhouses on the
North River Still another addition was made
to the list Yesterday by strange mishap at the
New-YOrk end of the Brooklyn Bridge An in
coming train was hit by a huge girder that was
being swung into place where new construction
is in progress and several persons were hurt.
Nearly all of these accidents had one thing in
common which must impress even the most care
less reader They- were not nearly so serious RS
they would naturally have been expected 10 be.
The tunnel workmen were liberated after vigor
Gus efforts which consumed fully thirty-siX
hours Had there been high wind when the
fire broke out Backwelfs Island there would
have been little chance Of rescung all the in
mates of the penitentiary. Only n slight aitera-
ton in the position Of that srrder might have
caused the death of score Of passengers at the
bridge. and had the Poughkeepsie train struck
tine stamford express IN slightly different man
ner one or TWO ears might have gone over into
the street. Everything considered. there have
been some truly wonderful escapes here this
week.
Most OF these incidents are alike in a sec
ond particular. They seem to have been due to
careIessness or recklessness. Until the cause of
the two fires is more fully known Il is imposs-
BILE to fix The responsibility for them: but ii is
virtually certain that they were preventable.
The extensive subsistence of earth in Long ISL
and City has been attributed TO leaks in a
sewer, and If that theory he sound careful in
quiry would probably show who was TO blame
for neglecting the defects in question The
bridge accident was certainly the result Of a
stupid and nexcusable blu;tdar. and there seems
to De little doubt that the engineer of the Pough-
keepsie train Is to blame for the damage done at
