SPREADING,

New Zealand and Germany have old- age pension systems which work well, and now there is serious talk in Eng land of instituting such @ system. Re- plying to a deputation of members of the House of Commons from the Lib eral and Labor parties, Premier Camp bell-Bannerman said old-age pensions would be taken up as soon as time and money permitted. He expressed him. self as opposed to the "contributory scheme" because it involved inquisito- rial machinery. Old-age pensions, he continued, far from sapping independ- ence and undermining thrift, would do just the opposite. Any scheme ought to be universal and must be put into effect by the State, which alone had the means of carrying it out. Speaking to the same deputation, MT. Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, said there was nothing nearer his heart than to be able to submit financial plan for such pensions, He favored one altogether dissociated from the poor law, and assured the deputation that the government regarded this question as one of extreme urgency.
 Perhaps the United States will have an old-age pension system soon, and it may make many in the United States feel better than they do now.

A report comes from Geneva that the roof of the second tunnel through the Simplon is showing signs of giving way, not being sufficiently strong to resist the tremendous perpendicular pressure of the mountain above, over 5000 feet in height. The official report says: 'Lately the roof of the second tunnel, owing to the great pressure, has partly fallen in, necessltating the immediate undertaking of the work of repairing the vault of the tunnel" The principal tunnel is also endangered by the prox. inity Of the falling roof, which threat ems to upset the equilibrium of both bores. If landslip should occur in the second tunnel the side of the chief tun- nel would cave in. It is said that a Lausanne engineer, who is in no way connected with the Simplon enterprise, in giving an independent report at the time when the great heat and the dis covery of boiling springs in the heart of the chief tunnel stopped work, said that 1t was his opinion that only steel rafters twenty inches thick would be able to withstand the heat and support the enormous pressure in the middle of the vaults. The steel rafters employed are only fifteen inches thick. The boil ing springs still exist, and the heat in the tunnel is still great.

The army signal officers are prepar- ing for extensive experiments in mili- tary ballooning It is hoped to carry this out at the signal corps station at Omaha, where the military balloon out fits are kept and where the climatic conditions are favorable to aerial ex- perimentation. The War department is 4n receipt of many reports of work of this class abroad, notably in Germany and France. The army of the latter country has been making rapid pro- gress in the development of the milli- tary balloon which has just been &C., quired by this government and which is about to be shipped from Paris is an example of the latest type. There has been much question whether the bal loon would be of special value in the field, even under the most favorable conditions of protection to the observ- CTS aloft, where it would be an alluring target for the guns Of the enemy.

A remarkable celebration took place in the Jewish congregation at Presburg, Hungary, on October A, when the members commemorated the tooth an- niversary of the induction of Moses sofer as rabbi of the congregation. The remarkable feature is found in the fact that in the century the same family has furnished all the occupants of the place. Moses died in 1889, and was suc- ceeded by his son Samuel, who died in 1871, and was in time succeeded by his son Bernard. The present incumbent (Bernard) has been too i'll for some time to attend to the duties of the of- flee, and hl5 son has been appointed as substitute.

what q Difference!

For ye9rs now p. esident ROOSEVELT
has been travelling around the country
telling Americans engaged In one or
another branch Of the service Of the
Government, both military and civil.
that the highest honors Of citizenship
we're theirs. and encouraging them to
keep on doing their duty with patriotic
fervor and individual zeal. A hundred
such passages could be quoted from Mr..
RoosEvELT's many speeches. Perhaps
in no other oratorical way has he done
more good than by inspiring these senti-
ments and insisting on the high dignity
Of public service.
Is it possible that President RoosE-
vELr's Secretary Of the Treasury, the
Hon. LESLIE NJ. SHAW, is correctly re-
ported when he is represented az telling
the graduates Of the revenue cutter in
struction school at Arundel Cove that
they have a too easy job, without many
opportunities for big work that ambition
has little to offer to the men in the
Governments service; that nothing so
quickly suppresses individual energy OF
ideas and takes the native capacity out
of men as employment in the army or
navy, and that the best thing that can
happen TO Americans so employed is 10
get an invitation to another job?
Either grievous injustice has been
done to Secretary SHAW in the news re-
ports of his extraordinary speech or he
is personally unfit to speak for the Roose-
welt Administration. anywhere or at any
time, to men engaged in the Govern
ment's honorable service.
And if he regarded himself as speak
ing at Arundel Cove not for the Admins
t%ration, but only for Secretary SHAW,
Secretary SHAW eught to be ashamed Of
himself.

The House OF Representatives took up
for consideration on Monday a bill au-
thorizing the continuance in use Of the
Long Bridge over the Potomac. One
paragraph Of the measure provided that
after January 1, 1907, nc wagon weigh
ing with it's load more than $500 pounds
should be allowed or the public thor
oughfares of Washington with tires
less than four inches wide, il being the
testimony of the authorities that heavily
loaded vehicles with narrower tires cut
up the asphalt pavements sadly and
thus necessitate the expenditure of large
sums for repairs annually, Mr., RIxEY
of Virginia remarked that in the winter
the asphalt was slippery, and In the
summer you might as well be by the side
of a barrel Of tar on fire." He added:
" Even a lady's boot passing over these streets in
summer time will leave Its impress there. II you
are going 10 prohibit everything from the str; cts
that makes a mark upon the streets. that makes
an lndcnture In the pavement. then YOU will have
10 keep OF the streets not only the forty -fve hun.
dredwelyht wagon. but YOU will have to keep OF
thr streets the horses and the men. and even the
Vomen."
The plastic nature Of Washington's
pavements is well known. Mr.. RIxEY
did not advocate four inch tires for the
city's pedestrians, but he thought the
bill would work a hardship on the farm
erS of Maryland and Virginia. Then
arose SYDNEY EMANUEL mud. whose
constituents are taught to vote for the
candidate with two OK yokes in his fret
name, and pointed out a greater outrage
the bill would perpetrate. Said he:
" II is the period OF the year, or the period OF the
year Is approaching. In which I think every Repre-
sentative OF a farming community ought to see TO
Il that his people and their interests are not trampled
upon by any such drastic legislation as this. The

" But there Is another matter there Ia another

For years the college, and t~ownspcople
of Princeton have been working for q
Princeton battle monument 4 fine
aits for thc monument is available NJ
n time, and excellent plans for II have
been prepared. The university, the
town and the State Legislature stand
ready "a do their part, contingent upon
the contribution Of q proportionate
share through the appropriation Of
$780, o to this purpose by Congress.
The scheme is not an isolated project,
but part Of a system calling for a COM
memorative structure at or vi each
revolutionary battlefield where WASH
ISGToN commanded In person.
The Battle Of Princeton was one Of
the most stirring fights Of the war. and
marked a critical point in the fortunes
Of the Colonials. The tide was at it's
lowest ebb when the defeat Of Colonel
MAwHooD's men at Princeton brought
a respite and encouragement to the dis
couraged and almost despairing patriots,
compelling CORVALLIS to leave New
Jersey in undisputed possession Of the
American forces, and giving the worn
troops Of the Continental Army a chance
TO rest and recuperate at Morristown,
The Princeton battlefield is, we be-
lieve, the only n OF the five included
in the original scheme that remains
unmarked. although, next to Yorktown,
II is perhaps the n that appeals most
imperatively to the imagination and the
sympathy Of those who know best the
history Of the struggle for American
Independence.
Now, as a last resort, the alumni Of
Princeton in every section of the country
are writing to their representatives in
Congress in behalf Of this apparently
wholly commendable project. This move
ment was begun by the Princeton Alumni
Association Of New England.
There 10 much more than any merely
local appeal in favor of a monument to
mark the field where fell dashing HUGH
MERCER in a hand to hand struggle,
won through the personal presence and
intrepid personal courage Of the Com
mander in Chief, within a mile of the
old hall where Congress, in 1888, received
the news OF the completion Of the treaty
of peace and rendered its thanks to
GEORGE WASHINGTON in person.
The one hundred and thirtieth ami
versary OF the Battle of Princeton will
occur on January 3, 1907. That would be
a good date for the unwilling of q Wash
ington monument.

Hotel People Cant Prevent Owner Of and
From Spending His Money.

Supreme Court Justice Scott refused ves-
terday to continue a temporary injunction
obtained n few days ago by the Hoffman
House Corporation restraining Francis ;
Kinney, who ownst the land on which the hotel
stands, from awarding the contract for the
construction Of the new hotel, which is to
be twelve stories high and will cost about
81 500. 900.
The Hoffman House Corporation hsa a
lease for ten years, without renewal prui.
leges. from July IL last. The contention
Of its officers Is that a more modest hotel
would suit them and that Kinney should
structure. They think that about $500 900
would be enough for him to spend.
The corporations objections rest mainly
on the fact hat IL must, under its agree.
ment with Kinney, pay out one-hah OF |
per oent. on all payments made during the
construction Of the new building. and it is
also set up that the more elaborate the
hotel the longer 1t viii take to build, To
reduce the cost of the building the cor.
petitive bidding OH the work, but Kinney
has refused to bulge from his position
hat he is at perfect liberty to erect as ex'
pensive and elaborate q hotel as he chooses,
within the restrictions Of the lease and the
agreement entered into between him aud
the corporation for the construction NJ q
new hotel within a certain time.
Justice Scott takes Kinney's view Of the
matter, and says that Kinney, as the owner
pleases. He has already made several oon-
c~essions to the corporation relating to the
plans and cost Of the building, but is not
bound to max any more IL he 30 chooses.
