Coffee and Cake. for Cold Firemeu

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUS-Str: You recently
commended The plan for providing hot coffee for
the nremen as being for the good Of the service
and for the public benefit"
1t may be of interest to state that the Church
Temperance Society, through is women's au1n-
larry, took the initiative in this matter ave or sx
years. ago at the request OF Fire Commissioners
Winthrop Gray. A special coffee van vas bult.
equipped with insulated tanks for keeping the coffee
hot for twenty four hours, and has been kept ex-
cluslvely for the use of the nremen. By arrange
mSnt with the Fire Department the van has been
summoned by telephone whenever needed. After
the Are at the Seventy FIRST Regiment Armory nve
years ago. the chaplain OF the department wrote
TO the secretary Of this society:
u take great pleasure In conveying 70 you the
keen appreciation and gratitude OF the nremen for
the generosity OF your admirable society. The
THANKSGIVING fire was the worst that has occurred
In years. The melt day the men were compelled
70 stand watch for twelve hours In the cold, raw
wind. 1t being Friday. none of them could eat
meat. and the presence Of the coffee van was more
than . blessing. Deputy Chief Duane told me that
never In his long experience was there such q graft
Tying absence Of signs OF liquor. and he attributed
It largely to the good coffee"
II Is a matter OF sincere congratulations 10 this
society that the plan which II inAugurated Ave
years ago has so commended itself to tho onncers
and men OF the Department that 1t Is now proposed
10 make the coffee van part OF its permanent equip
ment. Brooklyn has already q van OF its own, and
u IA hoped that the plan will be adopted In all large
cities throughout the country,

Ii This the Coming Issnef

To TIE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir' Secre-
tary OF State Root in his speech at the annual
dinner OF the Pennsylvania Society spoke
In such a frank manner Of the necessity OF
greater Federal control that the course Of

70 be doubted II the average American has
as much as an Inkling OF the portentous prob
lem which the citizens Of this country must
soon face. The seeds are being sown and
there must be a harvest. good or evil.
1t would be interesting to trace the exact
origin Of this int nded departure In our
method OF government. II would be even
more interesting II the cause could be traced
to events or to ambitions. We have other
intricate problems, but they will all be over
shadowed by this Of State rights. 1t Will
finally rend this country az nothing else ever
has. There will be q decisive victory either
for those advocating GENERALIZATION or for
those who believe in the strength Of our pres
ent Constitution.

rights are next In order. Where will 1t stop

far better to hgbt the issue out than TO allow
advocates Of Capitalization to make such
Roadway that there will be no turning back.

mettle Is to be tested In a manner that does

deplorable conditions nov existing in
our system OF coast defences'
This nation has spent in the past
twenty years sl2s, OOO, 900 in providing
defences Of which two-thirds would be
idle at the next outbreak OF war for want
Of men behind the guns.
Congress should pass the Hull bill, and
pass it promptly. No recommendation
in President RoosEvELT's message Ia
more urgent. No statement Of the a
is more significant than that which Sec
Rotary TAFT made last spring to the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs
when he said: IF we were called upon
TO 90 into a wal we should have TO double
or treble our present force at nee.
The men are needed behind the guns,
and they are needed there now. Artil-
lery work Ia team work, and TO attempt

our fine artillery corps into a mob.

To rHE EDITOR or THE SUN-Siy When the
New York police force a few weeks ago appeared
on the streets with their new caps. replacing the
old helmets. II was the impression on the part of
the people OF this city that II was the nrst time in
the history OF the department that the members
had ever worn that style OF headgear.
End IN . copy OF GIsason's Pictorial OF the date
Of January 7. 1854. an illustrated article on q new
style Of uniform that had just been ordered 10 be
worn by the members Of the police force OF this
city. The uniform. with the exception OF the head
gear. was almost the same as that worn to day.
The headgear was the same as the caps that are
now worn. the only difference being that Instead
OF the crown Of the cap ~slantinx back as II does
now. II was perfectly nat. The capes that the
police now wear were also worn on the caps that
were ordered nifty two years ago. The chief OF
police OF that date. the captains and IeutenAnts
now known as sergeants. were ordered to wear
helmets Of the exact style now worn BY the mem.

The Cuban situation is working itself
out, rather than being worked u
The line between the different interests
becomes clearer from week to week.
There is a growing appreciation Of the
fact that the real key TO the entire Cuban
situation il economic and not political
Until that fact is clearly recognized and
Is made the basis Of action there a be
no progress in Cuba.
The Cuban people are practically
divisible into two groups. On n hand
there stand those, heavily prepOnderant
numerically, who want peace and order,
industry and prosperity. On the other
hand there stands a collection OF aspi-
rants for political jobs and the emolu-
ments pertaining thereto. The success
Of the latter crowd gives no assurance
whatever of political or industrial sta
bility for the country. On the contrary,
il would be little short Of a guarantee OF
renewed disturbance. A proper protec-
ton for the peace and order people is
imperative for the welfare Of Cuba.

Brunetiere on BalZac.

All who love French letters regrettet
the death last week OF Ferdinand Bruno

when French writer's are usually in theE
prime. The regret viii be Increased on
reading the last book from his pen. ISSUED
as he was dying, the -Honore de Balzac'
Of the French Men Of Letters" series u. b
Lippincott Company, as brilliant a piece
Of literary criticism as has appeared in a
score Of years. In the long series Of crit.
cisms and articles that he contribute
to the Revue des DeuI Nondes there was
room often enough TO dissent from NJ
Brunetiere's Judgments, especially in mat
ters outside the domain Of literature; there
was no resisting. however, the charm a.
that style that is becoming a lost art b
France.
He has left no more brilliant piece Of work
than this -Bakac.- 1t Is a model Of whnl
a short literary monograph should be, and
more than that. Somehow or other when

body are submitted once more TO the
Bundesrath for approval. The Bundles
rath is not only the main source OF leg
islation, but it is also a part OF the
executive, enjoying a share Of the power
Of appointment. From another point oil
view, it may DO compared to our United
States Supreme Court, for it decides
disputes between the Imperial and state
Governments about the Interpretation OF
imperial statutes. Not only has the
Bundesrath far more extensive powers
than the Reichstag. but il also possesses
privileges withheld from the latter body.
For instance, the Reichstag cannot be
summoned 10 meet without the Bundles
rath, whereas the latter can sit alone.
In the R~eichstag the order OF business Ia
broken OF by the ending OF the session,
whereas in the Bundesrath il Ia continu-
Gus, so that matters may be taken up
again at the point where they were left.
We observe, lastly, that the meetings OK
the Bundesrath may be secret, and in
fact the public il always excluded,
though A brief report Of the matters
dealt With and the conclusions reached
ia published after each session.
It is evident that in the Reichstag the
German people possess only the sem
blance OF self-government. The princi-
pal organ oflegislation is the Bundesrath.
