A Foolish Move in Toxic.

The government at Toxic has task be-
fore it which should Immediately engage
It's attention. 1t should proceed at once
to discourage, II 1t may not absolutely
prohibit, the enterprise of those journalists
of the capital who have just held meet
ing and adopted resolutions relative to the
San Francisco school incident.
The second portion of the resolutions
adopted by these firebrands of Tekio is
a direct menace to the peace of the two
countries. 1T was further resolved" states
the cable that the journalists combine in
an effort to excite public opinion and cause
the authorities to effect a solution of the
difficulty" Inasmuch as the Japanese gov
eminent has already moved vigorously and
the United States government has acted
promptly and in good faith in response,
this propaganda of agitation is not only
superfiuous. but reflection upon the sin
certify of both countries. and as such de-
serves to be quickly repudiated and
checked
There is no danger of war between Japan

Hearst as a Speaker.

In advance of next Tuesdays verdict, one
thing has been definitely settled in New
York, and this is that Mr.. Hearst has
voice and can use it. He can make
speech without prompters at his elbow.
Until this campaign began the New York
editor was not thought capable of such
a thing. He was characterized as some
thing of a myth. He had name and an
individuality, but not in connection with
independent thinking. He was accused Of
dealing only in canned goods. His deliver
ances. it charged were prepared by
others and labeled to suit emergencies.
In Congress the course pursued by Mr..
Hearst supported the accusation. With
numberless opportunities to participate in
the debates he improved none of them,
but when present would not only offer
nothing himself but take little more than
a languid interest in the offerings of others.
There was desire to hear him. He stood
accredited with such pronounced views
about trusts, labor, and other subjects his
colleagues in the House expected him to
''let himself CO. when the time came. But
nothing tempted him. Beyond one short
talk at a committee hearing-and that was
not at all fnteresting-he refused to be
lured.
He has made 1t plain in his race for gov
ernor. however. that he can express HIM
self when on his feet. He is no orator, of
course. But oratory is not the whole thing.
Or when it is. the deliverance is rarely
worth while. The man with something to
say. and the composure to say it and en-
phasize it in good set terms, is often more
effective in campaign than the word
spinher-the mere phrasemaker.
Now that Mr.. Hearst has found his voice
and had some practice in. its use, will he
treat Congress- to a taste of his quality as a
speaker? His term as representative does
not expire until the 4th of March, and If he
Is defeated for governor of New York he
will have three months longer time in
Washington. He could command a large
audience, particularly If it were announced
that he would take for his text the future
of the democratic party and of some of it's
present leaders. the majority of whom are
today hoping for the success of Hughes.
which would draw everybody in on both
sides. and particularly the anti-Hearst
democrats. Would 1t be possible in such
circumstances for John Sharp Williams to
keep silent? He and Mr.. Hearst do not
love each other a little bit.
If Mr.. Hearst wins, this opportunity will
not present itself He will have to go to
Albany at an early day to take up the du-
ties there. and the place In the House which
has known him once-and not much oftener
will know him no more forever.

A Smokeless Terminal Wanted.

By adopting electricity upon all tracks
leading into the union station the railroads
entering Washington will merely be ahead
of the times. How far ahead cannot now
be estimated. but, as Commissioner Mac
farland says sooner or later the smokeless
locomotive is certain to come. That it will
be an electric motor is believed by those
who studying the development Of
American railroading. Several of the larger
trunk lines are already moving in this d.
rection The New York Central has "elec-
trified" its lines for a considerable distance
out OF New York city. On the New York.
New Haven and Hartford road electricity
has replaced steam for certain schedules
and it is expected that within a few years
electric motors will haul all the trains over
that line between New York and Boston
The Pennsylvania is replacing steam with
electricity in the run between PHILADELPHIA
and Atlantic City.
Thus far In the discussion of the local
railroad smoke nuisance not one word of
assurance has come from the railroad
authorities that something will be done to
relieve the situation. A station building
material that Is expected to resist the
staining influence OF smoke has been adopt
ed and train shed that Will not confine
the smoke and inconvenience passengers
has been approved. Thus the case stands
today. promising a continuation of the
smoke evil. If the officials OF the lines
would declare their purpose to move to-
ward smokeless power as rapidly as the
development of the art permits they would
confer boon upon the community Until
they give evidence OF an intention thus to
insure the perfection of the Washington
terminal in one of the most important es-
sentials the citizens of. the. capital must
look to Congress for relief in the form of
legislation which extends the anti-smoke
law definitely to cover railroad locomo-
tlves

A Matrimonial Tragedy

The full disclosure of Count Boni de Cas-
telane's contemplate character should not
surprise any person. Count Boni has given
evidence frequently in the past that he is
a very low type indeed. fortune-hunter Of
the frankest sort, a farceur in politics,
prOfigate in society, a scoundrel at home
The marriage was in the beginning mock
cry of matrimony. No one could sensibly
expect any other outcome. The details Of
the tragedy are unpleasant as well as su-
perfiuous. and 1t is fortunate that thus far
the wife's counsel has kept them from the
public. Sufficient is stated In court and can
doubtless be proved to warn every Ameri-
can heiress who may be casting eyes toward
Europe and a coronet that in that direction
lies not only mentai but possibly physical
misery. The spectacle of Count Boni beat
ing his wife because she would not assist
him in securing a larger allowance from
her family ought to prove of service In pre-
venting further mistakes

Gun Ethics.

A few days ago at Brockton,- Mass. a
siN-year-old child blew a mans head off
with shot gun: at Bangor Me-, a small
boy killed his infant sister with "A load OF
shot, and similar occurrences have recently
been reported from other p.aC.s. Ninety
nine per cent of gun accidents might have
been avoided by the exercise of a small
symptom of common sense. The children
referred to in the dispatches found the
guns In their home and the guns were
loaded To keep loaded gun in the house is
next TO criminal carelessness. To keep a
loaded gun in the house where there are
children is idiotic. Firearms, unloaded
should be kept where children cannot get
them and cannot handle them except under
instruction OF the man who owns the weap-
on And here comes in a difficulty because
OF the fact that SO many gun owners are
ignorant on the gun subject
The man bred and born to a gun is al
ways extremely careful and methodical In
the handling of it. The man who has not
had the advantage Of proper culture lin
guns shows his crudeness the very instant
he picks gun up. He cannot lay his
hand upon a gun without betraying his lack
OF experience with firearms. He is not at
home with a gun in his hands. but he tries
to appear at ease by '4ooling' with 1t or BY

rash usage of 1t In some way. The only
man who will take liberties with guns is
man who knows nothing about them. The
real friend of the gun Is respectful to 1t,
and there Is an ease and confidence in his
handling of 1t that is suggestive of the man.
ner of a gentleman in his association with
others. In gun ethics it Is rufi1anly to slap
a gun too famiHarly on the stock or barrei'
to snap a hammer without having previous
ly opened the breech, to sight In the d.
rection of any person, animal or thing be-
longing to a friend.
In tho matter of the shot gun, a man
does not load till he begins to hunt and he
draws his shells soon as he ceases to
hunt. His gun Is treated as always loaded
in the field. He never carries a loaded gun
into his or his friends house. To place a
gun in the corner of the room. even unload
ed. Is vulgar. and to put it there without
knowing that the chambers are empty Is
carelessness of gross sort. The gun rack
is the place for a mans gun or guns. And
this must be kept locked. II man cannot
afford to buy a gun rack he can make one.
In the matter of the rife in target prac-
tice. a man never puts cartridge in unth
he is ready to shoot. When the cartridge
has been put in the man shoots and elects
the empty shell. II after loading he de-
cides not to shoot at once, he Immediately
withdraws the load. Whereas the shot gun
in the field is always treated as loaded, the
rifle on the range Is always unloaded ex-
cept just before a shot.
In the matter of the revolver at home.
the owner should keep it in locked case
and the key on his key ring. Ammunition
should be kept under lock and key. At
night or when a man feels the need for the
companionship of his piston he should keep
it handy, but must hold himself responsible
for its safekeeping. To let a revolver lie
around in a bureau drawer, or on shelf.
or under a pillow. or in holster on the
bedpost is very careless and uncouth. The
weapon Itself deserves better treatment.

Croker Against Hearst.

Richard Croker SHES his castor into the
ring. 1t was to be expected When Andrew
Freedman. one of the old Croker guard,
landed "a few weeks ago fresh from visit
to the ex-boss and put on Hughes hutton.
New Workers "in the know" opened their
eyes and looked hard at each other. Was
II a sign? Was it a message? Did 1.-The old
man desire the defeat of Hearst? Many
30 construed Mr.. Freedmans act and now
the truth is confirmed to all by Mr.. Croker S
cablegram to Mr.. McCarren. How many
votes is the message worth?
The full meaning of the maneuver is
matter for speculation. In the first place
Mr.. Croker as an old Tammanyite cannot
relish the idea of Hearst as the new Tam
many boss. Such Hearst now is. He put
Murphy in his pocket at Buffalo, and still
has him securely there. If elected his hold
on the organization will be exceedingly
strong, and enable him to do what he
pleases with the New York delegation to
the next democratic national convention.
He would use it, OF course, to further his
own presidential ambition.
In the second place Mr.. Croker is Bryan
man. and wants new York's influence
exerted toward securing a third nomina-
ton for the peerless leader. He has toasted
MT. bryan at HIS private tdpit III litlohu'
and Mr.. Bryan has been encouraged by
the expression of good will This program
calls for Hearsts defeat, and Hearsts de-
feat means Murphys defeat, and Murphy's
defeat will call for a new leader for Tam
many Hall.
Could Mr.. Croker be induced to return to
his old job? Mr.. McCarren parties the
question But il does not seem to be diff
cult. Mr.. Croker is not an old man. and he
knows nothing but politics. He merely
plays at horse racing. He is not much
more than an angel" for trainers and
riders and bettors. The life of fashion is
denied him. and lOafing outside the realm
of fashion is slow businss. Things political
have taken new and an alarming turn on
this side of the water, and old cam
paigner like Mr.. Croker must find the role
of a mere onlooker unsatisfying He must
be at the elbow of somebody playing the
game his way. --
But if this cablegram spurs the old Croker
guard in Tammany to work for Hughes. 1t
will by the same token put fresh ginger
into Murphy in. his fight for Hearst. He is
now. as never before. fighting for his life
as we'll as for Hearst. The cry on the one
hand is. Hep me. Willie" and on the
other. Help me- Charlie or I sink"' Is
Murphy. or Croker. the stronger influence
in Tammany Hall today? In the answer to
this question may be the key. to the New
York Situatio

Bonaparte on Trusts.

Secretary Bonaparte's figure of speech
in dealing with the trusts is homely. but
happy beyond description. The trusts are
the big hogs that monopoffze the swili.
In Uncle Sans pen 1t is important that
the trough should always be full. but inn
portant also that the little fellows there
should get their share. The problem there
fore is not to decrease the flow Of the swill.
but provide for a fairer distribution of it.
We want more big hogs-in fact we want
all the hogs to be as big as good living and
plenty of 1t will produce. This is the an
swer to those who in striking at the big
hogs would injure the little hogs also. Mr.
Bonaparte's pen is mightier than those
swords of trust busters who in anger and
unreason would lay about them regardless
of consequences.

Homesickness.

Why do folks that's friends or kin
Think they must go visitin',
Wearin' clothes that fit too tight
An sittin' up till late at night,
Actin far too scarf or proud
To tell. a, joke or laugh out loud?
Things like that you never see
Up to our house; no Stree!
Up to our house on the hill
Paw an NAV an Uncle Bill
Talks about the days gone by.
While Aunt Jane is bakin' pie
An, a cookin' other things
AS the kettle boils an sings.
And, as long as gran'maw's there,
Reckon that I'll git my share.
When you're cold you needn't wait
For the janitor to state
How much heat'll do you good;
Jes' start pilin' on the wood.
Amt no servants dressed up neat
Measurin out what you kin eat.
Up to our house things is prime;
Wisht I lived there all the time.
