Welcome, H0bSOn!

Richmond Pearson Hobson is COM
ing to Congress. Captain Hobson
has proved his staying qualities by
his struggle 10 break into the House
of Representatives There are not
many men who could have lived
down the fearful misfortune of be-
ing made first a national hero, and
then a national joke. Hobson has
done it. There is considerable evil
dence that he is really sorry for
having been a hero, and that he has
never tried 10 capitalize it into any
thing more substantial than Chau-
tauqua audiences. As 10 his kiss
ing record, the fact that he is mar
ried makes il reasonable to infer
that he Will not indulge in any more
Spectacular long-distance contests
OF that sort.
The trouble with Captain Hobson
is that he will come to- Washington
with a mission. Nothing is more
dangerous TO an aspiring statesman
than to have Congress get the no.
tion that ne is coming down here
to show il. Congress doesn't like TO
be shown. Hobson has permitted
the impression to get abroad that
he is going 10 revolutionize the Con-
gressional attitude toward the navy.
He will discover, we imagine, that
the channel is commanded by very
heavy ordnance. and that the gun
ners on the heights are on the look
out for his expedition. 1t will take
him two or three terms of patience
TO get out of the fo'c'stle, and then.
fl-om the doubtful vantage ground
of a position at the tail-end of the
min ority of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee he will discover uncharted
shoals and eddieS. rocks and reefs,
currents and tides, TO make naviga-
tion of the legislative ocean one
dread nightmare.
Captain HobsOn has our best
wishes. We are for the reformers,
and he is of them. He has admitted
it for a long time Even If he
doesn't at once e'reorganize the naval
policy of Congress, he will be a
useful addition TO the Washington
landscape. He will help the rubber
wagon lecturers to a new humorous
allusion, and will be an inducement
TO visitors 70 visit the House gal

Coal for Washington.

Washing1 on now has local inter-
est in the hearing being had by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
in pursuance of the Tillman-Gil-
lespie resolution. The showing of
yesterday tended TO establish that
the Pennsylvania railroad had un-
dertaken, successfully, to restrict
the sE-pment,Of coal TO the District
of Columbia. According to the
freight traffic manager for the Nor
folk and Western railroad, the coal
freight agent of the Pennsylvania
gave him plainly to understand that
IF the Norfolk and Western under
took TO go into Washington, the
Pennsylvania would go into Norfolk
and Western territory"
Another allegation-that the all
rail lines undertook TO force the
tide-water lines TO accept a raise in
coal Tates-is of more general in
terest, but Washington shares in
it especially. For the Capital is
easily available to shippers of coal
who would reach il by water If
therefore, the land-and-water lines
are TO be so restricted that they
cannot use the Potomac as a means
of shipping coal to the District. tbs
community may be very materially
the loser.
1t will be noted that so far none
of these things has been proven
They have the form merely of allie
cations or admissions. Nevertheless
they give us of Washington n dis
| tinctly personal interest in the hear
ing. and we viii do well to follow
| il closely.

That Divorce Decision.

ApropOs the recent decision of
the United States Supreme Court
anent divorces, George H. Elwell,
Boston lawyer, writes to the Jour
nal, of that city, as follows.
The United States Supreme Court de-
cisiOn on the Haddock case seems 20 be
greatly misunderstood by the press. The
claim that 20.Oo0 children have been made
illegitimate is actually absurd, as is also
the claim upon which the first is based.
that the validity Of interstate DEGREES Of
divorce are destroyed
The answer to the question as to how
far the jurisdiction of the State court
may extend beyond its own territorial
limits in actions against the person al
ways was dependent. and still depends,
upon the comfy between States.
II has never been obligatory for one
State 10 give full faith and credit TO
the dccreeS OF its sister State when,
in the case involved. the jurisdiction
OF the parties is questionable.
The case of Haddock. although IL
might imperil 10000 children born of
marriages OF divorced persons, should
their individual cases be taken TO the
United States Supreme Court, does not
in itself make these children iliegitimate
Should a woman who is divorced from
her husband in another State be in
fluenced by the Haddock case TO bring
in her State a suit for divorce against
him and he should not appear in de
tense Snc WOulu lall 10 DflnS ABOUT tne
same result as in the Haddock case
for her decree, If obtained, would de-
serve no greater faith and credit thar
that OF her husband
In other words, the dictum, ever
of the Supreme Court, is not suffi
cient TO plunge needlessly into
trouble people who have always be
lieved themselves within the pale
of the law. and unless special exi
geucies arise that dictum neeC
cause little disturbance Throughout
the country. Things Will go or

This should raise enthusiasm on the
part Of the public in this concert. and
the society should be commended in its
generous act by being greeted by
large and influential audience.
Monday evening last a magnificent
rehearsal was held in the George Wash
inSton University Hall, and the next
two rehearsals. Saturday afternoon and
Sunday night. will be held in the D. a.

larly wishes 10 draw the attention Of

from their teacher, a discount OF .
cents will be made on any seat in the

The hearing of Albert T. Patrick,
the New York lawyer now under
conviction and death sentence for
murder. viii be reopened tomorrow,
on his application for a new trial.
Not in many years have the eccen-
tricities of American criminal iuris-
prudence been better illustrated
than in this case. The man who
confesses to the killing is free.
Patrick, whom nobody accuses of
it, is to be hanged, because, for
sooth, the guilty man claims that
Patrick had him hypnotized and
forced him to do the deed! The
story sounds more like a witchcraft
inquiry at old Salem than a modern
court proceeding. Yet Patrick faces
the electric chair, and though a
powerful and influential body OF
opinion has been organized to de-
mand that he receive the benefit OF
the doubt, it is still up to the court
TO determine whether he shall have
| that benefit.
