From tbs Wall Street Journal
Il can't make both ends meet" said a
housewife TO her husband. the other day.
Everything costs more than it did, and
prices seem to be advancing al the time.
Why, can only get nine eggs for a quar-
ter now What's the matter? Is Roose-
welt to blame?"
why do you think Roosevelt has some
thing 10 do with the increased cost of
living9" inquired her husband.
Because the shopkeepers tell me so,
was Ia reply
Thus the advance in the price of eggs
and other household supplies is attributed
to Roosevelt, just as in Wall street he is
blamed for the decline in the stock mar
ket
Yet the advance in the cost of living
and tie decline IN stocks are the result Of
purely natural causes. with which the ad-
ministration has nothing to do. They
would have operated even if Roosevelt
had never been President. In fact. they
are phenomena that are international.

One Of the most serious problems which
has arisen in high school circles recently
Is the problem Of secret societies formed
by the pupils in high schools. A strong
movement is manifest among school
authorities IN most places to frown upon
and do away with, If possible, all secret
societies IN high schools.
II was about fourteen years ago, ac-
eording to a writer in the American Re-
view Of Reviews. that there sprang up in
the high schools of this country secret
societies patterned after the college and
university fraternities. Many of them
were silly. most of them were innocuous.
some OF them turned OUT to be powerful,
ana It Is said to-day that they are the
dominating element in the high schools,
and that any challenge Of their suprem-
acy IS accompanied by a threatened over
turning OF oil school discipline. Objection
70 secret societies in the high school
seems to be based on three things. They
are alleged te be undemoeratic, they are
accused of dealing in cheap politics, and
II IS said they are independent Of school
control. The National Educational Asso-
cation passed resolution denouncing
such societies in 1905. and since that time
nigh school principals ali over the eoun-
Try have condemned them. Those advo-
Gates Of the secret society in high schools
who seek to justify them by reference TO
the fraternities in universities are per-
haps sufficiently answered by Mr. George
W Benton, of TIA shortridge High
School, in indianapolis who says:
The fraternity IN college, under proper conii-
tons. in measure at les4 takss the place Of

What to do with our ex-Presidents has
always been rather an academic ques-
ton. as most of them have managed TO
take care Of themselves without much
difficulty. but the realization that Theo-
doTe Roosevelt is TO be an eX-President
some day adds considerable interest TO
such a discussion. 1t is felt generally
that a man OF his strenuous personality
will not be content unless ne finds some
work TO do, and spectators have ex-
hausted their fancy in finding him jobs,
which range from taking charge OF the
Panama Canal to the United States Sen
ate.
A sane and interesting contribution to the
matter is that Of the London Spectator,
which suggests that on President Roose-
velt's retirement from the White House
he be asked 70 undertake the vastly i'm
portant and honorifc task Of the recon
straction Of the Philippines" Of course
the Spectator has in mind Great Brit
aims practice Of picking big men for big
jobs, and is thinking particularly Of the
successful. issue Of the work to which
Lord Cromer gave the best years Of his
life In Egypt in little more than
year" says the Spectator, "AIr. Roose-
welt viii be free, and in two years he
will be rested and have the heart for any
fate. Could he devote his powers to
work of wider import?'
There is an intense fascination about
this suggestion We know now that the
task of reconsructing the Philippines is
one that calls for the very best that is
in some big man. It needs. above all. a
man; and our relations TO the Philip
pines are such that a United States pro-
consul in the Philippines would have
much freer hand than Lord Cromer had
in Egypt. sThe task that Mr.. Roosevelt
would undertake would seem not so hope
1essly disheartening as the task that
Lord Cromer tackled, and yet he went
to work calmly and deliberately, and
above all honestly. developed the natives,
carried out public works. put the finances
on a sound footing. guided and inspired
the officials. and out Of ruin brought
rule and order, established justice. and
brought the land to a high state of use
fitness.
Something Of the same task awaits
man in the Philippines. II Is heroic
task and one that would call for self
sacrifice, patience. honesty, hard work.
a quick brain. and an indomitable will.
The man who should take that hopeless
archipelago and govern 1t; bring it 70
usefulness, establish law and order
throughout the islands. teach the natives
how 10 rule themselyes-such a man
would deserve Immensely we'll Of his
country It would be task which once
begun could hardly be laid down incom-
pieted, and Mr. Roosevelt has a reputa-
ton for thoroughness and bulldog tenae-
ity. How feasible the project suggested
by our contemporary may be. II is not
necessary TO inquire here But on the face
Of It it looks good, and Theodore Reose-
welt, pro-consul of the Philippines might
win for himself new place in the hearts
Of his countrymen.

The Hartman Campaign Fund.


Possibly one reason for the bitter feel
ing against President Roosevelt in certain
high financial circles may be found in the
list OF subscribers to the Hartman cam
paign fund OF 1904. which fund was a
short time ago the subject of sharp
controversy between the President and
Mr.. Hartman, In that list may be found
the names Of more than one man who
may be safely included among the
'malefactors of great wealth" so roundly
denounced in Mr.. ROOsevelrs Province
town address. Although they contributed
generously to the Republican campaign
fund, they now find themselves held up
70 public scOrn by the very man they
helped 70 elect. their railroad and other
enterprises under government scrutiny.
and their indictment for crimes against
the state a matter Of official consider
alton.
If they hoped by the election OF MI
Roosevelt TO further personal interests.
they have been grievously disappointed.
Hyde, who expected 10 buy an ambas-
T sadorial post for $4,000, is in exile; Har-
ard oil crowd in a deadly struggle with
the Department of Justice. Either Theo-
dore Roosevelt incurred no political OBJ
legations when his campaign managers
accepted and used the Hartman fund.
or else he repudiated such obligations
as may have been implied in the accept
ance Of the fund. In any case. he cleared
his skirts Of an unpleasant lot of party
benefeiaries. as President Cleveland did
when he declined to carry out the bar
gain made by his friends with the sugar
trust in order TO get funds for campaign
use
Whatever opinion may be held Of the
practice OF going TO men of vast wealth
for party funds, the important matter is
that such contributions shall not be per-
mitted to influence executive or Iegis-
lative policy. 1t may be difficult to avoid
this. but both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Roosevelt shook on the obligations which
wealthy contributors thought 10 impose
upon them The criticism of Mr.
Roosevelt for tacitly conserving to the
expenditure Of large sum raised in his
behalf by a sort of forced contribution
from few wealthy men is deprived of
mucn OF its weight by the fact that the
contributors were not allowed TO purchase
favor with the administration. and by the
further fact that the Presidents indie
pendent attitude toward the men from
whom the funds were obtained makes a
repetition Of the contributions impossible.
In other words, the era OF ''fat-frying''
is about over, and the Harriman-fund
episode has had its full share in bringing
It to an end. It will be difficult next
year. to convince mnIionaires that $50, 900
would be well expended in helping elect
a second edition OF Roosevelt.

A Government without Power.

A remarkable illustration of the power
lessness OF the District Commissioners
to take care of public necessities in
the way Of gas lighting was given in
the account printed in The Washington
Herald on Saturday Of the disposition
made by the Commissioners Of a request
from the Northeast Suburban Citizens
Association for the extension of gas
mains in the Northeast. This request
was referred to the electrical engineer
for a report as to whether the extension
asked for was a reasonable one. but the
only action the Commissioners are au-
thorized to take on such report, sup
posing it TO be favorable to the extension
asked for, is &c refer il 10 Congress. The
Commissioners are without authority TO
compel the extension of gas mains. their
only duty being 10 report to Congress
the failure Of the gas company 10 make
reasonable extensions of its mains
We fully agree with the sentiment at
tributed to the District authorities that
this is an undesirable state of affairs
for which Congress should be asked 20
provide a remedy. The extension Of gas
mains should be determined by the needs
Of the public as passed upon by compe-
tent authority. and the cumbersome
method OF referring every such applica-
ton for extension or failure to make
an extension TO Congress should be done
away with. The whole incident shows
the desirability of adopting for the Dis
trict some definite and effective plan Of
regulating public utilities. We hope the
Commissioners viii impress upon Con-
gress the need Of progressive legislation.

The Teddy bear Is receiving great deal
more attention from scientific and beetle
browed gentlemen these days than 1t
really deserves. Just why 1t should ex-
cite any one is hard to say. but that it
does is-easily apparent 70 those who keep
up with the trend Of current events.
One gentleman sees in it a great bless
ing and boon to mankind as well as the
animal kingdom, because. to his way OF
thinking. it engenders In children a love
and tenderness for the brute creation and
thereby renders them humane and kind
hearted In all Of their acts. Another
gentleman takes exactly the opposite view,
and finds in the Teddy bear a great dam
ger to the republic, because 1t tends to
destroy the instinct of motherhood latent
in all little girls, and even deprives boys
|of embryonic symptoms of fatherhood
that might otherwise be advantageously
developed!
Both of which contentious are utterly
absurd and Of no consequence whatever
The Teddy bear is nothing more or less
than a simple toy-'ust like any other
toy-in the hands or child. Wiea IL ih-
vaded the field Of young ladyhood it did,
to be sure. assume something of q silly
aspect; but that has nothing to do with
either OF the cases above cited. Its effect
upon the mind OF a child is no more or
less than the effect produced by anything
that amuses or entertains innocently.
The craze is about at its end. anyhow. and
1t may be allowed TO die in peace without
one disturbing thought being left behind
as to the ultimate i'll effects Of its ex-
istenee. II has had its day, and that day
has not been misused. It was the fad OF
a moment, and it viii fade away. just as
thousands and thousands Of similar fads
have faded away in the past. Let no mis-
guided ones be disturbed.

Gas for the snhurhs.

From the Evening Star
There should be no difficulty about
granting the suburban dwellers light
when a reasonable number have as
sembled in any section. The entire Dis
trict should always be regarded as an
urban territory, and the jewellers in ali
parts of 1t should be placed upon the
basis Of enjoying. at a proper stage of
their community development. all the ad-
yantages and conveniences of city life.
The disposition on the part of some in
terests to regard the ancient boundary
street as sharply delimiting the urban
and suburban areas has had a deplorable
effect In checking the outward growth
of the city, which should have been
encouraged, in fact, by every possible
means. OF late years this line of limita-
ton has been generally ignored and is
being rapidly eliminated. It remains
only for Congress definitely TO enact leg
islation officially Fiping It out of ex-
iStence
