A Ground-Hog Cold Wave.

The elements not only let the sun shine
brightly on the ground hog today, thus
frightening him back into his hole for forty
days of sleep during hard weather, but they
gave an evidence of good faith in the fore
cast by supplying a genuine article of Feb
ruary cold at the same time Yesterdays
official forecasts promised colder weather.
and the reports indicated that there had
been a decided fall in the temperatures in
the western states. There was, however, no
hint OF a cold wave, such as that which
struck this city al about midnight. In the
twelve hours from pm. Thursday until y
am. Friday there was a drop of twenty
three degrees in this city.
This is the severest burst of chill airs ex-
perienced during the present season. The
exceptional heat OF the latter half OF Janu-
AIRY was to have been broken, In the east
BY a decided drop in the mercury. The
predicted blizzard, however. did not materi-
allze in this section, the temperatures tum-
bling only few degrees, and soon recoy-
ering some of the loss Thus far the win
ter has been phenomenally mild, and even
IL the ground hogs forecast is verified to
the full the net results of the winter wealth
er Will probably be less than normal.
The customary comment of people during
q mild January is to declare that we'll get
1t yet" Well, at last we've got it," ana
1t is hard TO bear. this cutting wind ana
intense cold. but II cannot last long ana
even with six weeks of genuine winter sue
ceeding the balmy airs OF January there
will be no ground for complaint The total
consumption of coal viii not be as great
as in ordinary years. and nothing that hap
pens later can take away the pleasure ana
health permitted by the soft period just
broken by the norther now nipping the ears
and noses.

Destiny.

When Willie was little lad,
He longed to go to sea.
He said (his reading had been bad)
A pirate he would be.
His parents kept a watchful eye
On Willie day and night.
Until he grew up. by and by,
Most polished and polite.
He wore a frock coat every day.
Likewise beaver nat.
He Joined In the financial fray
And high In Wall street sat.
He was a leader in the land
Until jury grim
Took notice of his profits and
Investigated him.
His parents when the facts were known
Were much disturbed in mind.
His father vowed his youth had shown
Just how he was inclined
His mother said, Il quite agree
This news Is hard to bear.
I'd rather he had gone to sea,
To be pirate there"

The British Army.

The Japanese minister of war may not
have been very diplomatic in his reference
to the present conditions of the British
army but there is very high British au-
thority for the substance of his suggestion.
English soldiers of the highest rank are on
record for the reforms and the strengthen
ings which Japan wishes to see effected by
her ally in her fighting machine. And that
at last is the point. 1t is a big contract
that Great Britain and Japan have under
taken together, and Japan, as all the world
is convinced. is prepared to fulfill her part
of it. Great Britain might be filter, and
her most alert and progressive men are
themselves urging her to get busy, This
should soften the feeling as to Japan's ut
terance. The proprieties are all very well
and should be observed, but the truth is
greater.

admission as separate states. 1t does not
consider what their politics as states might
be. T;ut, as a matter of fact. they are
backward territories. and even when taken
together are not entirely worthy OF state
hood. The republicans, as The Star be-
lieves. have the right of the contention, on
the grounds of a broad. national policy.
Extreme partyism in the matter of state
hood was illustrated In the case of Nevada,
which was admitted into the Union. not be-
cause of being worthy of the responsibility
of statehood-for the territory had neither
the population, the wealth. nor the pros
poets calling for statehood-but purely for
political purposes. All other considerations
were subordinated, and the mantle Of state
hood was thrown over q sparsely settled
waste. Fitness played no part whatever.
We all know the result. The state, after
all these years of opportunity, Is still back
ward. 1t is safe to say. indeed, that II
Nevada were a territory today 1t could
not on it's material merits secure the prize
of statehood.
The fight for separate statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico is Influenced
somewhat--many people believe largely-by
the ambitions of local politicians Senator
ships, and governorships, and other things
are very tempting, and the politicians want
two places to exist where only one is pro-
vided for by the present bill. Important as
that may be to them. 1t is not the consider
alton which outsiders should give to ques-
ton having so wide national bearing.

Careless Street Car Passengers.

In the annual report of the Capital Trac-
uon Company are some interesting statistics
relative to the character of the accidents Ia
people in which the company's rolling stock
inquired, during the year just past 1t ap-
pears that 4o3 persons were injured more or
less seriously In the twelve months or
these PAL were hurt because of a failure OF
the passengers or the car crews to observe
the rules of caution. OF this number lY,,
were hurt while stepping of moving
cars. rs while attempting to board moving
cars IL through the starting of the car
while aighting, and by the starting of the
car while boarding. Thus. In the absence
OF specific and detailed facts relative to ali
the cases recorded. of the 241 persons in
jured in this general manner during the
year 2l7 We're hurt through their own care
lessness, assuming that in every case the
passenger was at fault when hurt while try
ing to board or to leave moving car
This makes a heavy showing against the
passenger. 1t Is a matter of common OBJ
servation that passengers are hasty about
boarding or leaving cars. Many of them,
on pressing the signal button. move quickly
to the platform and stand upon the step,
impatient of the lapse even of fractions OF
a second before their feet can touch the
ground. few have learned how to do this
In safety. Others, notably women, do not
realize that 1t Is necessary to observe cau~
ton in stepping from a moving to a star
tionary plane. The woman who has acl.
quired the trick of turning her face to tho
front and swinging OF with tbs near
