ABoLIsH1NG THE "FRArs,

The Denver school board has de-
termined to suppress the fraternities
which have been SO long a source
OF vexaton. The boys are not to be
expelled but are to lose all privileges
In a social and athletic way IL they
continue their membership.
School boards in all the large
cities have taken exactly this view
OF the matter and even more dras-
tic action has been noted in some
cases The facts appear to be that
these .fraternities cultivate a spirit
of clannishness. of selfishness, OF
pseudo-aristocracy. which is alto
gether wrong in any public institu-
tion, where each boy and girl is sup
posed to stand on an equality with
the other. No boy Is better than
another by reason of his fraternity
membership. and 1t is this spirit OF
cliques and clans the board is try
ing to suppress.

As dramatic orator he has no
superior. His magnetic personality
is the very qssence of eloquence
He presents great truths as vividly
as flashes OF lightning. He has the
rare power of making popular the
classical lecture. His past exper-

him perfect control of his powerful

thrill his listeners with the great

when you called and worked
them for victuals and old clothes.
Perhaps they'll be looking for you
today" .~lie
The hobo smiled family, and then
look of sorrow and longing came
over his face. Neither spoke for
two or three minutes.
The hobo softly asked:
You might have heard of the
Browns. you know-might have
heard In q round about way. Haven't
heard anything eh?"
The agent was about to reply
when his office was called over the
line and he sprang up to answer,
but the leg of his chair slipped on
the sloping platform and he went
down with a crash. Next instance
he was crying out:
God. man. but I've broken my
leg. Go in and use the telephone
and tell them up town to have a
doctor sent down."
"R. H.-R. H.-R. H." was called
from the next station to the west,
and the hobo ran in and sat down
to the key instead of using the tele-
phone. Ten seconds later the mes
sage was coming: -Four flats loaded
with lumber broke a way and on the
down grade. throw the switch and
sidetrack them"
Here you," shouted the agent as
the hobo reappeared. "The operator
at Bellevflle says"
1--WE got tall right savey,"
replied the other as he leaped from
the platform and ran for the switch
which was 100 yards away.
Away up the track he could see
the flats coming.
On that down grade they would
be running fifty miles an hour when
passing the station. There were six
or eight empty box cars in on the
siding and there would be a grand
smash, but the hobo did not hesitate
for an instant
The flats were within 200 feet of
him when he pulled the arm of the
switch and stood there and held 1t
down. Rush! Whizz! Crash!

The Medal of Honor Legion.

The number of gallant men in Wash
ington is augmented today by the dele
gates to the annual convention of the
Medal of Honor Legion, association Of
military veterans who have been officially
decorated for bravery in action.
Medal of honor men are the aristocrats
of military society. They are men who
have won more than spurs in the face
of the enemy. Not only are they en-
Gowed with a high order of courage, but
they had the good fortune to find and
seize the opportunity TO demonstrate it..
All llon-hearted soldiers are not medal
of honor men. but this does not detract
an iota from the achievements of those
men who have won the glorious distinc-
ton. The medal of honor is the Amer
lean Victoria cross.
There is one other point upon which
the Medal of Honor Legion is to be
praised-the choice of Washington as the
city for its convention. 1t Is impress
sively appropriate that the military and
patriotic societies of the United States
should hold their conventions at the cap
ital OF their country. Washington, with
it's sentimental and historic associations,
cannot but have beneficent influence on
the deliberations of such conventions. A
national convention at Washington Is
more national than If held anywhere
else. 1t radiates it's influence from the
national center, and news of the work
of the convention flows out through many
channels and spreads over the whole
country.

The Philippine Serial

1t has seemed necessary to officially
deny at Berlin the yarn that Germany.
by a secret agreement between the kaiser
and President Roosevelt, will keep an
eye on our Atlantic seacoast while the
American fleet Is absent in the Pacific.
A German fleet is not coming over to
cruise in our Atlantic waters until our
ships return. Well. of course not. The
joke now is on Germany. Why have
noticed such a stupid thing In such a
solemn way?
II Is but fair to point out. however.
how variously our Philippine problem
lends itself to the purposes of fakerdom.
First came the story that we should
soon retire from the archipelago. after
setting up the Fflipinos in business for
themselves and warning the outside world
to keep hands off. That had a little
run. and no little support from the fact
that Mr.. Bryan favored the project. Eu-
rope was for a moment disposed to take
the report seriously.
Then followed the story that we were

Firefighting Exhibition

II was a realistic exhibition thar the
washington fire department gave this
morning for the entertainment of the dele
gates OF the International Association o-
FIRE Engineers. Incidentally it provided
excitement for the street crowds for
thousands Of persons who read The Star
last evening forgot in the clangor Of ba,Is
the hard and fast hoof-beats on the pave
anehts and the whir and rumble of heavy
wheels that it was only one feature of
the program for the Entertainment of tho
city's firefighting guests The crowds
'hought confiaGration was under way.
The alacrity with which the alarms were
responded to, the speed with which In.
engines anu other apparatus answered the
calls. the quickness with which the
hydrant connections were made and the
absence of confusion and hubbub among
the hremen as each fell into his place
and performed his duty must have i'm
pressed the visitors that Washington has
an efficient frehghting force.
WASHINGTON has one serious conDIai,t
to make. not OF. but concerning the fire
department. 1t is not large enough
Progress is being made. but the depart
ment. ever too small. is not growing as
fast as the city. Urban and suburba n
growth is yearly adding new districts
exposed to fire loss. Many of the fire runs
are too long. Some of the engines are
not uD TO the twentieth century mark in
pumping capacity. Nevertheles the de-
partment worries along with its small re-
sources, and great fire loss is rare in
Washington.
1t is likely that when the water supply
OF the city has been increased by the con-
structton OF new conduits from Great
Falls that a system OF high pressure
water mains will be installed in the busi-
ness sections and that alarms in those
districts VIII be answered by firefighting
apparatus not drawn BY horses, but driven
by electricity or other power. Meanwhile,
nreproof or fire-resisting construction is
becoming more common and Is more and
more urgently demanded by popular
opinion.

Destruction of the Peoples Park.

The proposed destruction of memorial
trees in the National Botanic Garden an
tagonizes public sentiment. public con-
science and common reason to such de-
gree that the wild project ought to be in
stantly abandoned Inere are many po-
tent objections to the plan. 1t is step
toward the transformation of the graceful
beauty of the Mall parks to that formal
ism contemplated by the park commission.
That part of the Botanic Garden chosen
Is not the best site for the Grant statue.
The site should be high and dry. whereas
the spot selected Is low and wet
However. the main and lasting reason
against the destruction OF the trees in
question is that they ought to live They
are good trees-big. sound, leafy and or
namental Stone and metal monuments
have been going up in Washington year
after year and the thought had never
occurred to anybody to chop down these
trees Good trees are precious. The fame
OF Washington a beauty-city rests
largely on It's trees. Trees have done
much to make Washington what it IS. II
It were question between having trees
or bronze efiigies, thousands of the people
of this city would declare themselves in
favor of trees. But this question need not
arise There Is ample room for statues
without molesting trees To kill trees for
a statue WHICH might better be placed
where there are no trees. is wantonness
Invasion of the public parks of Wash
ington by tree-butchers ought not to be
allowed. In the plans of the city the
Mall was set apart as the city's great
central park. 1t was designed as the lungs
of the National capital. Through all the
generations since the beginning of Wash
ington it has been the citys main pay
ground 1t should be preserved that it
may be the playground of the generations
10 come. Other parks have been created
but they have not taken the place Of the
Botanic Garden. Armory Square. the
Smithsonian grounds. the grounds of the
Department of Agriculture and the Monu-
ment lot.
There is discount on the beauty of
Rock Creek Park. but that is essentially
park for driving. or autoing, or for TAX
ing long walks. 1t is not in the same class
with the Mall parks pleasure ground
where men and children may loiter or
saunter along the snuous paths in the
shade of ma jestic trees.
The Mall must be preserved to the peo-
pie for all time, and any attack upon it.
such as is being made by the Grant statue
commission. must be resisted.
Another view OF the matter is that the
trees which it is proposed to cut down
TO provide site for a stone, cement and
bronze monument, are not merely trees
Dut are themselves monuments. They are
AVinS monuments TO the memory of the
mon who planted them. If they were onIy
trees they ought not to be cut down but
oeins memorial trees their destruction
would be doubly ruthless.

Leave Those Trees Alonei
From the Washington Post.

Because of an excess of stupidity in
official quarters somewhere. 1t is pro-
posed that certain venerable and beau
tiful trees in the Botanic Garden and
the Mall shall be chopped down to make
room for statue. or to rearrange the
scheme of things, or for some other rea-
son not made clear. Is there not in the
executive department a. man Of sanity
and decision who will stop the hand Of
the vandals? Must everything be left to
Theodore Roosevelt. and when he is alb
sent must stupidity mark the govern
ments operations? If the President were
here, he would make a few long ears tin

be cut down to make room-room in

for laughter on the stage; but when the

knows. of course. that Washington has
more room than anything else. unless 1t
Is statues. There are dozens of places
where statues might be placed. and the
more they are screened by something
beautiful like a tree. the better for the
public and the sculptor. But when a gov
eminent board proposes to substitute q
pantalooned statue for the living sculp-
ture of God. there Is a public protest
The people have good sense and artistic
sanity. Suppose a tree stands on a line
between the Capitol and the Monument.
Must beauty be stra1t-1acketed IN order
to be beautiful? Must one brazen statue
call to another across the stones of emp
tiness. as the satyr cries to his fellow? Is
1t intended that the Mall shall be filed
with bronze and marble effigies, like a
graveyard? If so, let the vandals at least
| spare a weeping willow here and there,
under which the stricken sightseer may
creep and hide his pain.
The Post knows nothing of the merits
of the statue OF Gen. Grant which Is to
be placed in the Botanic Garden 1t may
be a masterpiece. and doubtless 1t is
worthy Of place in the national pam

Yesterday Mr.. Bryan concluded a two
days whirl in Kentucky on a special
train. accompanied by Gov. Beckham q
candidate for the United States Senate,
and other local democratic celebrities.
The section of the state traversed is
known as the "pennyrile''-named for the
modest little plant which grows there In
abundance In the days before Organism
and Goebelism had turned things upside
down in Kentucky this section was over
whelmingiy democratic for the mere men,
ton of name. J. c. 8. Blackburn, single
handed. so to say. could go up and down
there with his stereotyped roar against
repuhlicanism and call every democratic
voter to the polls.
But something now seems to be the
matter. An army of stumpers has been
at work for weeks with but Indifferent re-
suits. Voters have appeared lethargic.
Even the Bryan and the Goebel men have
not enthused, So Mr. Bryan himself was

stunt with all the snap he could COM

and the republicans are we'll led and well

makes it necessary for a visitor of Mr..
Fairbanks large caliber to canvass such
territory to insure the usual republican
vote? Gov. Beckham has been up there
appealing for democratic votes, and the
feudists of the powerful Hargis clan are
very friendly with him. Has he made an
impression which threatens a falling off
in the republican ballots?
1t Is much mixed situation Organism
and Goebelism are playing part. and the
temperance question an even larger part.

The democratic managers see a majority

managers see democratic defeat both in
the state and in the municipal contest in
Louisville. If the republicans should

The Words of Long Ago.

Evidence OF the power Of the presiden-
tial office, If any were needed. might be
found in the fact that the President is
able to resurrect departed word and

puissant is the presidential Office that the
President is usually mistaken for the
creator of old words instead of simply
their resurrectionist. He popularized
strenuous" and gave to "weakling" and
craven" a vogue they never before en-
joyed. Then he brought out "mollycod-
de-" which he caught in the moldy pages
of some dusty tome
