Our Life-SaYerS

1t is perfectly evident that some
thing must be done TO improve the
Hfe-saying service of the United
States or the department viii grad
ually become absolutely inefficient,
where it is now about half so. Re
cent reports from Atlantic. Pacific.
and lake stations are to the effect
that all are getting along with
about 50 per cent of a requisite
quota, and no Official believes that
under present con0@Gons a better
state of affairs is possible.
In order to get brave. intelligent,
and powerful men into the service
this Government must pay more
than sos a month for eight or ten
months in the year. This is a period
of great prosperity, and men of the
life-saving eahber can earn a better
livelihood in many other and less
hazardous occupations. Almost with
out exception they are heroic fell
lows, but they cannot be expected
TO make sacrifices forever.
There are two ways in which this
vastly impOrtant branch of our Gov
ernment service may be built up:
One by fixing larger salaries, the
other by establishing a retirement
system. The former is the better,
for it is of the present, and its APP
peal is stronger, besides not being
open 20 the objection that civil

Congress ought to attend to this
matter without delay next winter.
The matter is not a new one in

Sewers for the Northwest.

The Commissioners have again
been forced to disapprove the prop
osition to lay temporary or service
sewers for the suburban district
between Rock Creek and Wisconsin
avenue. That considerable area is
now without artificial drains of any
sort. Under the law, those who
live within il cannot construct
sewer farms or cesspools, or any
system which viii drain the dis
charge from their houses into Rock
Creek. The effect of this action by
the District authorities is, there
fore, TO deny them all sewer accom-
modations.
Hard as this seems, it is the only
decision which the situation war
rants. a service sewer is a pipe
sewer of so limited a capacity that
not even rain water can be carried
through il. For the present de-
mand it might do. For the demand
which may reasonably be expected
to arise within the next three or
four years it would be utterly in-
adequate. The money spent on IL
would be, therefore, purely an
emergency expenditure-and S25, 200
or more is a great deal to invest
in a construction which must be
torn out within four years.
What ought TO be done for the
area indicated is 10 construct along
the west bank of Rock Creek a
sewer corresponding to that which
drains the other side Of the valley.
1t would cost far more than S25, 900,
possibly 100000. But It would pro-
vide the main artery of an effective
and sufficient service for a hundred
years.
With the Arizona avenue sewer
finished-it is now being extended
20 drain the west section of Tenley-
town-and the sewer across the
creek bed in fun operation, the en-
tire northwestern portion of the
District would thus be equipped
with trunk ducts 1t must be done
i'm time. The sooner il is done, the
less il will cost and the more il
will yield on the investment.

The New Cadet Cap.

Unimportant as it may seem to
the general newspaper reader, the
action of the Board of Education
yesterday in ordering the service
cap of the army for the use of the
High School Cadet Corps is worth
more than passing notice. It is a
step in the direction of keeping the
regiment tactical and holding il 20
the strict requirements Of the mill
tary regulations.
The value of the corps lies partly
in the physical training it provides.
Now and then fad walks have crept
in among the cadets, and there has
been at times a woeful disposition
to slouch. But. as a rule, the ef-
feet of the training is to give the
boys at the most important period
of their physical lives what is called
in the service a good set up"
This is not, however, the only
value of the corps. It does much
to making character for the boys
by teaching them proper discipline
and drilling them 10 meet certain.
established, clearly defined stand
ards. Other cities, like Boston, have
weakened as to the standards, either
by reducing the number of counts

erwise. But Washington has not.
If its boys have pretended to be
soldiers they have had TO be as care
ful of the regulations and as thor
ough in observing them as the more
important general work of the
course would permit.
Along this line, it is we'll to keep
the uniform as near as possible to
that prescribed for the regular

A New Program.

President Roosevelt is not the sort
of statesman to be long unem-
ployed. He set out once. to revise
the tariff. and that was what start
ed the trouble in Iowa. After the
Iowa revision leaders, on the
strength of assurances from the
White House, had got themselves
committed to the movement, the
President changed his mind, decided
that other things were more i'm
portant. pulled in his plank, and let
Governor Cummins, Director of the
Mint Roberts, and the rest of the
revisionists tumble into the water.
1t was the conclusion of the
President at the time that the rail-
road rate question was more i'm
portant than the tariff As TO that.
most people, even devout tariff re-
visionists, provided they are not in
terested too deeply in railroads,
agreed and still agree. But that
question is pretty we'll off the stocks
for the present. What next?
Plainly the President isn't TO
turn back to tariff revision for the
remainder of the present term. He
must have some new paramount
which he considers better worth
while. What can it be?
We guess that il VIII be found
before the next session is at an
end, certainly before the next long
session is over, that the President is
interested in the set of problems
relating more directly to the in
equitable distribution of wealth.
He has shown a disposition to re-
open the income tax issue in some
phase or other. He has told a sym
pathetic country that rigorous in
heritanee tax legislation is needed;
and closely related 10 that is the
income tax. Very much the more
important, too, in the popular esti.
mate.
1t would only be the annexation
of one more proposition from the
Democratic platform of 1896, and
one, more or less, doesn't make
much difference now. The Presi-
dent is catholic in his ideas; he
doesn't care where he finds a good
thing, so it looks good. If it was
once gospel to Democrats and an
archy to Republicans-what boot,
so the President finds it good?
The railroad rate problem looked
harder than tariff revision: but the
President solved it. The income tax
proposal looks harder than either
because of the constitutional prob
lens. Perhaps it is to the Consti-
tuition that the President viii ad-
dress himself. Perhaps he viii not
tackle the matter at all; but il is
ventured as one of the best bets
that he viii, and that inheritances
and incomes viii be under the guns
before the Congress elected this fall
shall have opened its labors.
