Preparing Meals.

Without going deeply into the chem

so arrange dinners as not to make one

the Friday fish dinner of white boiled
fish, mashed potatoes, hominy, canned
corn and rice pudding, and then on
Saturday have roast, with tomatoes,
slaw, apple sauce, sweet cider and
lemon pie Such bad combinations are
not imaginary, but are found in the
sad experience Of many who live in
boarding houses One is all white and
tasteless; the other combines variety
Of acids, which is a mistake in the

The girl who throws everything in a
mix-up tumble in her dresser drawer is
paying dearly for her lack Of care, for
it is like throwing money out of the
window to fail to keep ones dress ac-

sibly can be kept. Anyway, the mere
desire to keep oneself and ones be-
longings neat and tidy should be a
sufficient incentive for these small at

American Intervention in Cuba.

Should the Cuban insurrectionlif the ma
neuvers OF a few disseminated generals
can be so alphabetically menace the sta
biiity of the republic there would be am
pie ground for active Intervention by the
United States to prevent an overthrow OF
the Palma administration The PLAT
amendment" to- the act of Congress which
recognized the revolutionary government OF
Cuba was later Incorporated In the Cuban
constitution. in these terms:
That the government of Cuba consents
that the United States may exercise the
right to intervene for the preservation OF
Cuban independence. the maintenance of a
government adequate for the protection OF
life, property and individual liberty and
for discharging the obligations with respect
to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on
the United States. now to be assumed and
undertaken by the government Of Cuba"
The provision for Intervention for the
preservation of Cuban independence" clear
ly refers to the possibility of foreign-Eu-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS calculated to effect a
change of sovereignty. actual or potential.
The right OF the United States to step into
the case under revolutionary conditions Is
embraced In the second clause. 1t is plain
that the overthrow of the legally estab-
lished administration by revolutionary
means would lessen the stability of the
maintenance of a government adequate for
the protection of life. property and individ-
ual liberty and for discharging the obliga-
tons with respect to Cuba imposed upon by
the treaty of Paris on the United States"
In short the United States has assumed
certain measure of supervision over the
form OF government in Cuba and by impli-
cation over the manner of its establishment.
A government. though republican in form,
not be In position to maintain its interna-
tional status unimpaired and to discharge
its obligations. The Plat amendment vir-
tually amounts to a guarantee against
Cuban revolution.
There remains the delicate question of
when and to what extent the United States
should step in and prevent the overthrow
by force of an administration formally es-
tablished by legal processes. Doubtless the
psychological moment would arrive when
the Cuban government itself asked for aid
But contingency Justifying the interven-
ton Of this government might arise In ad-
vance OF such request. Cuba might hesI-
tate TO call for succor. The Havana gov
eminent might think to win out alone and
meanwhile the island might be turned into
q shambles and all orderly processes set
aside. In such an emergency the United
States would probably have the right to ex-
tend assistance unsolicited. 1t is however,
not difficult to imagine that such a PROPOSE
tion would be subject to animated debate
In Congress were that body in session.

Broad Minded Indianapolis.

The indianapolis News editorially laments
the provinciallsm of Washington. as voiced
by The Star. in its opposition to the ap-
pointment of an out-of-town superintendent
OF public schools. 1t is so different in In
dianapoliis. says the News, In effect. The
glad hand Is extended to imported super
intendents there and the fatted calf killed
as soon as their heads appear above the
horizon. This is interesting and valuable
Information. OF course the same spirit Of
liberal encouragement to outside appoint
ments must extend to the other local offices
at Indianapolis and aspiring gentlemen
from Ohio, Massachusetts,. New Jersey,
California and other states will doubtless
begin to sit up and take notice. AS a
slight guide to such earnest seekers 1t will
be of advantage to know that In Washing
ton there are few of the local offices
held by outside appointees: Superintend-
ent OF public schools. postmaster, recorder
of deeds. three members District of Co
aumbIa Supreme Court. auditor of the Dis
trict. superintendent OF Insurance. sealer Of
weights and measures. inspector of gas and
meters. This Is only partial list and this
is provincial Washington. Naturally in
broad-minded Indianapolis there will be
many more openings for Industrious citi-
Gems of other cities.
If to believe that local offices belong to
local men is to be provincial, then The
Star has not reformed in its provincialsm.
There are two cities here, the national capt.
tai and the local city Of Washington. The
national capital belongs to the whole nation
and Its places here are national Offices and
as Is proper and right are given to citizens
from different states. The local city, on
the other hand. belongs to the local citizens
and its places should be given to citizens of
the District of Columbia. The fact that To-
cal offices are getting to be more and more
treated as belonging to anybody from the
outside with influence enough to pull them
down, is simply a sign of the f1abbiness of
pride here in the local city: the lack of ad-
Vancement of the city in commercial way
being an additional symptom. Washing
ton is good place in which to live but
mighty poor place in which to raise boys"
is the remark so often made and the one
that brings the blush Of Inundated pride to
the cheek of every true Washingtonian 1t
Is the duty of local Washington to make
this statement so absurd that it will be re-
tired from circulation, and the first step is
TO insistently and persistently fight for the
home rule principle in local offices; to fight
until appointing powers. be they presidents
or school boards, will understand definitely
that any violation Of the principle will dan
gerously outrage public sentiment.

needed generally, might have saved many
lives and much property. 1t would OF
course be impossible to prevent the de-
struction of buildings, but II the public had
faith ip the verify Of the official scientific
warnings Valparaiso might easily have
been emptied of all human beings and
large part of the movable valuables within
the twenty-four hours eiapsing between
the publication of the observations and
the shocks themselves.
To be sure, there was no place In the vi
cinity of Valparaiso where the people could
be assured of safety. Their only security
would be from the falling buildings and
the fires resulting from the collapse OF
walls. 1t Is to be remembered that the
city is built upon narrow space lying
between the mountains and the sea and
flight is difficult in any direction. save
along shore. The residents Of the earth
quake region have reason to fear the tidal
wave which so often follows seismic
shock as seriously as the shock itself.

The situation at Santiago in this respect
was even more difficult than at Valparaiso.
for the capital is considerably higher than
the seaport, though only a short distance
from 1t. Already the people Of both cities
have suffered intensely in consequence Of
being without shelter since the earthquake
knocked their homes to pieces.
1t Is likely that even with the conditions
preventing an effective exodus officially
published warnings of the approach of an
earthquake in that part of the world will
find the people in a mood to give heed.
This fact will doubtless exercise an in
f1uence upon the observers to cause them
to utter their warnings conservatively. so
as not to send the people forth in flight to
the hills without warrant.

Put Pistol Carriers In JAIL.
From the Chicago Chronicle

In denouncing the police Justices who
impose nominal fines for the carrying of
concealed weapons Mayor Dunno the other
day only got at one phase Of the question
The fact Is that pistol carrying is not to be
cured by fines at ALL Imprisonment is the
only penalty that will reach it, and then
not completely. Still, much may be done
by making the penalty inf1exible. jail,
without the alternative Of fine, will reach
a great majority Of pistol carriers who now
take the chance Of a $50 fine and who ordi-
nartly get of with one of SO or SIS. The
non criminal pistol carrier does not want
to take the chances Of going behind the
bars.
OF course. it may be said. and said truly,
that neither fine nor Imprisonment will de-
ter the professional criminal from carrying
a pistol, that being one Of the implements
of his trade 1t is also said that to dis
arm the law-abiding citizen Is only to i'm
prove the chances of the thug. This, too,
may be admitted with the reservation that
the man who carries pistol Is not law
abiding citizen.

Roosevelt a Standpatter.

The President is standpatter. What
ever doubt may have existed on that point
Is now dispelled. He holds with Mr.. Can
non, Mr.. Shaw, and all the rest OF them.
No revision at this time. When may we
expect revision? That depends. The coun-
try is prosperous. Tariff talk disturbs busi-
ness. Business should not be disturbed I'M
less the demands are most pressing. Before
anything is attempted it should be shown
indisputably that no harm win result to
anybody.
We are all familiar with this talk. Mr..
Hanna led off several years ago. and those
who have followed him have kept strictly
to his text The card table phrase he
adopted and applied still retains its fe-
licity. There is a renewal Of devotion to
the principle of protection, which is not
threatened by the republican revisionists
at all. And there you are.
What can have come over the spirit of
the Presidents dream? year or so ago
he was the eve of addressing Congress
on the subject Of the tariff, but at the last
moment reconsidered his decision At that
time he was accounted revisionist Ger
tain it Is that the standpatters were great
ly disturbed. and feared the result Of a
deliverance from him. II there was need
OF revision then. there Is greater need
now. The inequalities Of that day have
grown since. and they grow every day.
But now the President does not see them.
His attention is fixed on other things. and
he mentions them. On the subject of the
tariff the man Of haste and energy talks
Spanish. He says manana-tomorrow.
Well. IL the next Congress is not to tackle
the tariff, what will 1t tackle? The rail-
roads have been put in restraint Trusts
are halted in much of their unworthy work.
Scheming against the Panama canal is
pretty well at an end. Those are the big
questions. The tariff Is next. Why should
1t not be taken up? What harm can come
to business at a time OF great prosperity
from equalizing tariff duties, when some
of them are out of all proportion to the
needs of protection, and there Is no purpose
to apply the knife anywhere to the injury
Of a single American industry?
The President Is altogether sound on the
question of striking at the trusts through
the tariff. Trust evils are not to be cor
rected in that way. A very good way has
been found and will do all that is neces-
sary IL applied resolutely and continuously.
