sartorial Redundancy in the Army.

Army officers may well stand in terror
of the rumor which is finding currency
in the War Department that there viii
be. during the present year, some con-
sideration by the General Staff of changes
in the regulations governing military ap-
pareI. Perhaps. as some hopeful officers
have suggested. there will be nothing
more important accomplished in this
dreaded direction than a few paltTy al
terations in the insignia. It would be
much more to the point and engage the
unstinted Endorsement of the personnel
if the regulations We're so changed as to
reduce the uniform and put it on prac-
teal basis which would not represent
such an excessive tax upon individuals.
An officer recently appointed 10 the grade
of brigadier general. for instance found
that he was obliged to eXpend no less
than $500 10 fit himself out with the uni
form of his new position, and even then
he did not get anything suitable for
wear in the field. A newly appointed
subalteru is in just as bad "a fix. He
finds that, in order to fulfill all the re-
quirements Of the service and be clad
according to rule, he must equip himself
with eleven suits Of uniform, including
six OF white. two of khaki. one of olive
drab one of blue, and one full dress He
must have at least six caps or hats Of
various patterns and shapes, requiring
separate trunk for the headgear. He
must have a pair of shoes of pat
ent leather for full dress, a pair Of
tan shoes for use with the khaki. d pair
of white shoes 10 wear with his white
clothing, and a pair of black calfskin 70
go with the dress uniform. Then. too, he
must find his own weapons Of defense,
such as the saber and revolver. and is
just now confronted with the obliga ton
of purchasing d new saber to meet the
requirements Of the revised pattern in
that implement Il costs not far from
81 zoo to be fitted out according 10 the
uniform regulations, whereas in 1870 the
military apparel then required could have
been purchased for at least one-third Of
the present expense.
This state Of affairs viewed from any
standpoint, IS impossible of defense. The
army is considered to be now on more
practical basis in point Of employment
than ever before. The field uniform has
been designed with a view to minimizing
the conspicuousness of the wearer, and
in the place OF the blue cloth and brass
buttons of civil-war days there is the
olive drab, which is likely 10 be sue
ceeded by the olive green. with the
bronze ornaments, to afford the least pos
sible target to the marksmen Of the
enemy. It seems absurd, therefore that
there should be d dress uniform as well
as fun dress one, and to the civilian
mind there is everything to commend a
scheme which would retain only the field
dress, even for those august occasions
now calling for the superlative glitter
Of military toggery.
II is easy, under such circumstances, to
appreciate the service claim to an in
crease Of pay. The exaetions of military
and naval duty and dress call for. some
relief. Ia the meantime, however, and

Presidents of Railroads TO Defray
Expenses Of Scientific Inquiry.

Presidents of Railroads to Defray
Expenses Of Scientific Inquiry.
From the Baltimore News.
Logan G. Mcpherson. who is lecturing
on transportation at the Johns Hopkins
University. made an interesting announce
ment there in regard TO plans for scien-
tihc railroad investigation under the aus
pices Of the university. Mr.. Mcpherson
remarked that railroad managers were
convinced that the time had arrived when
it was highly desirable that the facts
should be known with regard TO the rela-
tions which transportation agencies bear
TO various communities He we,.t on to
say:
ITO the fulfllment Of this intention, an
extended study Of these relations in the
communities themselves will be necessary.
This study I hope 70 make and to report
its results 10 you from time to time. This
investigation has been made possible by
the railroads themselves. I have been
permitted to take the time. and a number
OF the presidents have agreed 10 defray
the expense OF this investigation, which
is really economic research ~ first hand,
and. in accordance with the traditions Of
this university, is most appropriately con-
Quoted under its auspices
IF this investigation discloses cases
wherein the communities have unJustiy
suffered because Of the oppression OF the
railroads, those cases viii be placed be-
fore you The presidents of the railroads
who are supporting this investigation de-
sire nothing but the truth The issues as
20 several phases Of railroad adminlstfa-
ton are becoming so closely drawn that
those charged with administration are en-
tirelv aware that those issues cannot be
met and settled except on the basis Of ez-
act truth"

Faults in the Thaw Defense.

We are not impressed as deeply as per-
haps we ought to be by the defense in the
Thaw case. Thus far. that defense does
not suggest the idea of real ability A
few days ago the press dispatches told
us of d former valet of Harry X Thaw
whose disclosures clearly pointed the way
10 the true policy of the defendants coun-
sci. This valet said that Thaw had been
hypnotized by a Frenchman and had killed
White under the ungovernable impulse of
that psychological influence. The argu-
ment may not obtain implicit recognition
elsewhere, but surely it should prevail in
civilized New York. Just why Thaws at
torneys have neglected it IS a mystery We
do not expect to solve.
When the aged millionaire. Rice, was
murdered in New York some years ago, it
transpired that he had been murdered by
his valet. Jones, the valet in question,
confessed his guilt He told the police
that he had killed Rice by means of
chloroform. he rather made a boast Of it.
But he insisted that he had committed the
atrOcious assassination of an old, feeble.
and helpless man under the hypnotic in
fuence of the victims friend and attor-
ney, one Patrick. He (Jones) was by ma
ture a gentle and afectionate person.
Left to himself, he wouldn't destroy a
guinea pig or a canary bird. But he muir
dered old man Rice under every circum-
stance of ruthless cruelty, and he asked
pardon and. conformation on the score Of
his moral subsection TO another and con-
trolling mind The New York authorities

Prom tie Milwaukee Sentinel.
It is not surprising that public service

VIII La Toilette succeed?


During the hearing before the House
Committee on the District Of Columbia
on Wednesday Mr.. Sims made this in
quiry Of Mr.. Goldsborough representing
the Washington Gaslight Company:
HAS your company any objection 10
making an annual report to Congress-
Not the slightest" was Mr. Colds
bOroughs instant response.
Several years ago more or less dis
tinguished United States Senator. es-
pecially distinguished at that particular
moment for the zeal and eloquence with
which he was guarding the gas COM
pany's interest. was similarly asked:
rs there any reason why this company
should not make an annual report TO Con-
gress?"
None whatever" was the instant re-
Spouse.
An amendment was thereupon accepted
providing for such an annual report
Objection? Certainly not. No one ever
dreamed OF such thing. The amend
ment went through without a dissenting
vote. 1t was really popular Why HI
not somebody thought of it before? The
House passed il. of course, and also with
out objection. But did it become a law?
No, indeed. How absurd 10 think il
would! It was slyly put 10 death in con-
/ ference. It is way the gas company s
friends have had of doing things At the
Capitol And 10 this day no such report
has ever been made to Congress.
Sometimes a new broom sweeps clean.
! u .
Toilette Already we have seen the
junior Senator from Wisconsin accom-
plish things. Strange to say, he seems 20
be potent in legislative affairs, though
serving his first term. But his potency
is now to undergo a supreme test Can
he, this new Senator, through his pending,
or proposed, amendment compel the
Washington Gaslight Company 10 make
an annual report? Other statesmen have
tried it and failed-failed miserably.
/ Knowing ones" are laughing IN their
sleeve at La Toilette; quietly laying
wagers. no doubt, that he Will fail-fail
miserably.
There is no reason why the gas COM
pany should be favored above all other
public-service corporations by exemption
from the requirement imposed on all the
( rest Of them that they shall make annual
reports to Congress. But it is so favored,
and has been so favored all along. Has
/ there really been "a change of front some
where? We hope it is so. We hope that
/ Senator La Foliettes amendment viii not
encounter the obstacles such amendments
1 have encountered in the past But we
cannot help having our misgivings.
The whole statute relating TO the gas
company badly needs overhauling, but,
perhaps, that is too much to expect just
now Annual reports should be insisted
on as the irreducible minimum of Iegisla-
ton at this session.
But can Senator la Toilette bring 4
about? We are waiting to see.

WALL STREETS TROUBLE.

Not the Victim of Roosevelt, but of
Its own Folly.
From the New YORK Mali.
What every man OF intelligence re-
g8rded AS inevitable has come 10 pass
The country long ago took its money
out of Wall street and put * into bust
ness enterprises. The stock market has
been left to those who make a living at
the game. prices have slumped. pessimism
has taken the place Of optimism. and the
luscious melons OF 1906 have become a
burden 10 the bank accounts of those
who once so eagerly sought them. The
men who failed 20 get out in time are
wondering what's the matter with the
country. and are quite sure. as the kan
sas people were before they awoke. that
something very dreadful has happened.
or viii happen and that they are, OF
soon viii be. the victims Of another s
folly.
Foolish Wall street. Not the folly of
others. but your own, Not the unwisdom
Of Presidents, Of Congress. or Of legisla-
lures, but your own; not the radicalism Of
those who seek justice and only justice
but your own: not a spirit Of envy by the
people Of your tremendous fortunes, but
your own assertion of dominating power
that's what's the matter with Wall
street and that's all.

admitted this plea in extenuauonr re-
warded and exalted Jones, and then con-
centrated their powerful activities 70 the
end of convicting and executing Patrick
He had compelled Jones TO murder Rice
Jones couldn't help himself, and so killed
Rice What was left TO an enlightened
machinery of justice save the immoiation
of the actuating Patrick. who hadn't
killed anybody, but had melted Jones TO
murder?
And this is where Thaw's attorneys de-
neglect their opportunity. The
New York courts have established the
precedent of accepting hypnotism in muir
der cases. How can they, with common
decency, reject in the Thaw case what
they freely If not eagerly admitted in the
Jones case2 There may be an answer to
this conundrum. but we haven't il con-

FEDERAL JUDGES.

From the Portland OreEunian.
There is one body 10 which Federal
judges ought TO be answerable for mis-
conduct, and that is the people. Removed
as they are, from responsibility to the
people whom they are supposed to serve
they are under temptation to forget the
source Of their power and the obligation
of their oaths. That few judges yield TO
this temptation is vastly to the credit
of the judiciary. but some do yield, and
il is defect in our scheme of govern
mcnt that We have no safe and eXpedi-
tious method Of vacating their Offices To
make the Federal judges elective would
require a constitutional amendment, and

popular rule may well doubt whether it is
bes. 10 make the supreme bench elective;
