A SUGGESTION TO the B. P. o. Z.


Ordinarily, even the thought of offer
ing advice gratuitously is repugnant to
this newspaper. Just now, however, we
can not refrain from submitting a sug-
gestion apropos Of President RooseveIt's
commendable crusade 20 prevent further
slaughter of elk by inducing the MEM
bers Of the order which takes its name
from those animals TO stop the purchase
of elks' teeth for use as symbols of their
determination.
There is no disposition on the part Of
those who have interested themselves in
the movement to debar the wearing of
those teeth which are already in circu-
lation. so 10 speak. The idea Is merely
to do away with all demand for the en-
blems IN the future. Thus men who are
hereafter transformed into Elks by
means of the mysterious rites of that
organization must OF necessity go about
elk-toothless if the plans now on foot
are consunlmated, as they seem likely to
be. and an invidious distinction between
old and new members will at once be ap-
parent
This should not be- The new Elks
should be properly idenuned, and TO that
end we beg to propose that they use rab-
bit teeth instead of elk teeth The rabbit
teeth. being smaller. would better lend
themselves to artistic adornment than
the elk teeth. An engraver who could
place an Elks name and the number of
his lodge on his rabbit tooth would, In
the very nature OF things, be artistic.
Another point TO be considered is that.
whereas there is an excellent reason why
the killing of elk should be stopped. the
rabbit should be ruthlessly exterminated.

The Truth About the Peach Crop.

You cannot believe all you hear about
the peach crop. II has more lives than a
cat, ana it would be surprising TO see a
season pass in which it was not uncere-
moniously and emphaucaly killed in :he
newspapers some dozen OF so times.
There seems little doubt. however, that
the Georgia crop has been seriously dam
aged by the late frosts and the recent ex-
tremeiy cold weather, following, as they
did. a period Of very warm weather. Par
ticularly is this true of the North Georgia
peach; and this peach comes to market
at time when no other EIberta is to be
had. A summary of the situation IN
doubtedly points TO the prospect of a very
light crop from that section.
This, however. is not to be altogether
deplored A full crop, taking into con-
slderat.on the large number Of orchards
IN that section at this time, could hardly
be a paying crop. The fruit is never very
fine during full crop year. Neither is
the price high, Then, too, the railroads.

which is produced. II. as is frequently
the case. the lowland orchards have been
damaged, while the mountain orchards
have not, the average quality of the fruit
may not be quite so good, but still the
price would rule high and the movement
be comparatively easy.
The real truth Of the matter is. the Ell

HOW BATTLE SHIPS DECLINE.
Costly British War Vessels sold for
Mere Trife.
.adslphia Public Ledger.

From tie Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The recent sale Of a number Of once
powerful but now obsolete British war
vessels at an extremely low figure calls
attention anew to the rapid depreciation
Of this species Of property. Among the
vessels sold was the Sans Parcel. q first
class battle ship. built only twenty years
ago at a cost Of S3.600000. This expensive
piece OF property brought only $4,000.
The third-class battle ship Conqueror.
costing $2,l0 900, brought 50, coo. The first
class armored cruiser. Undaunted, which
cost SI,2o0,0oa. brought S72000. Three 9TH
ct vessels were disposed Of at bargain
prices.
The stipulation that the vessels should
be broken up In England prevented their
purchase by foreign powers for war puT-
poses, so that these once formidable fight
ing machines were sold for the material
used in their construction. In these days
of progressive improvement In fighting
craft there is no telling how soon the
most costly vessels will become useless.
The fleets of certain nations are much
more imposing in the admiralty list than
they are IN reality. II was scarcely
thought when the Sans PareI was
launched that she would be sold for junk
in twenty years. similar fate may
await the mammoth Dreadnoughts OF the
present day

Colonial Administration.

We judge that the country viii learn
with some establishment from Senator
Beyeridge that the chief blunder in our
colonial policy has been the attempt 10
introduce in the Philippines and other
dependencies the moderate measures Of
self-goveTnment so far provided. Mr.
Beverage tells US government has
been extended too fast in the Philippines,
that it was an error TO intrust the natives
with the choice of their own municipal
and provincial executives, and that the
new Filipino assembly will be "a him

DECAY OF THE PARTIES.
Southern Paper Says Both Are I'm
Condition of shipwreck.

From the New 0rleans Pieayune.
II has been long time since political
parties in the United States were IN so
serious a condition OF shipwreck as they
are to-day This statement applies as
much to either Of the great parties as TO
the other, and equally 10 both.
If ii should be attempted TO lay down
platforms Of principles for either or both
of the great political parties, great confu-
sion would result. as serious difficulties in
drawing lines Of demarkation would be
encountered.
The Democratic principles. as they were
stated in the days when Democracy was
in the height OF its power and was led and
represented by some Of the greatest men
IN the country, embraced the inviolable
maintenance Of the rights of the States
and resistance to all Federal aggression.
There were to be equal rights to every
citizen 10 make the best and get the best
by means of such talents and opportuni-
ties as he might have. with special privi-
leges to none. There was TO be no unjust

trine; only the Republicans, while de-
manding Federal control. stop at Fed

When it comes to the tariff, the Repub-
leans. who were the apostles Of high pro-
lection. are now badly divided on the sub

JOURNALISTS DANGER.

Menace to "a Free Press.

MSHAcc 10 a. FEee FEeSs.
From the Wall Street Journal.
That was striking statement made by
President Hadley Of Yale University. al
the opening of the new building OF the
engineering societies. He said that there
are three professions to-day which regard
themselves as masters and not as serv-
ants, these being the professions OF the
fnancieT, the journalist. and the politi-
clan. He said that If the engineer and the
lawyer accept subservient positions il is
not only a confession Of iaferiority, but a
dereliction Of public duty
OF the three masterful professions men,
toned by President Hadley. the one
which is freest and most powerful Of al
is that of the journalist. The fnancier
is. after ALL very largely a slave to his
fears, and the politician a slave to the
machine, but the journalist is free from
both. Nevertheless. Journalism. Ike many
other professions, is in constant danger of
becoming subservient tc commercialism,
and it must be vigilant. indeed, in order
TO escape that fate.

PRESIDENTS LETTERS TO TAFT.

From the Springfield Republican

The people may not euthuse over Mr..
Taft. as Mr. Creelman suggests in his
article in Pearson's, but this correspond
ence with the President certainly shows
him as a man honestly putting public
duty above personal desire. II may occur
10 some people 10 ask where Mr. Creel-
man got these letters. The answer is
obvious enough: Copies Of them must
have been given him at the order OF Mr..
Roosevelt himself. The President knows
how to use the press for Taft's advantage
as well as for his own.

Longest Service.

A paragraph Is going the rounds Of the
press to the effect that Of the more than
twelve thousand men who have held seats
IN Congress since the beginning Of the
republic. only thirty-four have served
twenty years or more, and that the
longest service was that Of the late Gen.
John II. Ketcham. Of New York. who
served altogether though not continu-
ously, thirty-three years. being mem
Der OF the House when he died last fall
As a matter OF fact, the late Justin Nor
rlll. OF Vermont served longer than
thirty-three years. counting his service
in both the House and Senate. and when
Senator Allison shall finish his present
term in the Senate he will have served
forty-four years in Congress. eight of
which covered his service in the House.
No other member of Congress ever
had so long a service as has already been
experienced by the veteran Iowa states
man. Senator Hale. Of Maine, has al
ready a combined service record Of thir-
ty-four years in both branches Of Con
gress. Speaker Cannon has served thir-
ty-two years in the House, and would
have added two years more to his record
but for the accident in 1892 by which he
was defeated for reelection. With the
