The Ponce is Safe.

Good news comes today from Hamilton,
Bermuda. The steamer Ponce, eleven days
overdue. has put into that port in a Grip
pied condition. in the tow of the appropri-
ateIy named steamer Wabbe. AT the same
time the steamer Maracas, four days over
due from Grenada. has reached New York.
II is interesting to learn that the Maracas,
which il was hoped. was towing the Ponce,
had not sighted the latter
The alarm that was felt for the Ponce
was justified in view of the fact that the
sea in the region where she would be likely
TO drift had been thoroughly searched by
liners and cutters without the disclosure of
a trace of the missing vessel Furthermore,
a derelict had been found close to the
point at which the Ponce last spoken.
by the Shenandoah December IS. II was
quite possible that the Ponce had collided
with this ocean waif and sunk. as it is be-
lieved many a ship has been lost by encoun-
tering abandoned wrecks in mid-sea. These
unlighted hulks are the terror of seamen,
and undoubtedly cause many a tragedy.
Fortunately our naval and revenue cutter
service is effectively at work to lessen the
evil by patrol of the sea.
The e.~erience of the Ponce. which has
been that of many others, testities anew to
the penalty our rapid advance in marine
construction has imposed upon us. The
more highly organized the sea-going ma
chine the more helpless it becomes when ii
is crippled by an accident or by stress of
weather. In the old days when wind was
the sole motive power ship that was dis
abled could usually be fitted with emer-
gency rigging sufficient 10 carry her to
port. The steel steamer. however, has small
chance to help herself in this manner, and
Is moreover. so heavy with machinery, as
we'll as cargo that even if jury masts are
erected their service is very slight indeed.
When man depended for his propelling
power at sea upon the moving air a ship
was not regarded as in peril if she failed
to reach port week behind her allotted
time. Nowadays when a steamer fails to
reach her haven within twenty-four hours
of her schedule men begin to betray their
anxiety. Our proportions have been greatly
amended by our mechanical achievements.

Michigan's New Senator.

In nominating Representative William
Alden Smith for senator the Michigan re-
publican legislators have displayed excel
lent Judgment and insured the presence in
the upper house of Congress from that
state of a man of ability and experience.
Mr. Smiths long service in the House has
developed him exceptionally, and he is fully
ready for the promotion which his state
Is about TO bestow upon him. His career
has been such as to encourage men of
humble station. A poor boy, sef-Support-
ing he has won his way steadily by dint
of persistent industry and high character,
and he will enter the Senate with a clean
record of achievements and honorable as
pirations crowned with success. Such
course is always inspiring and gratifying.
A hard worker. a close observer of affairs,
a skilled parliamentarian, Senator Smith
will find the upper house congenial field
in which he will be thoroughly at home
from the start. The District is pleased
because of his success, for his years of
official residence here have brought him
into close association with the citizens Of
Washington and given him a clear insight
into local conditions.

If Congress only does the things
That it's expected to
The joy which nineteen seven brings
Each day will bloom anew.
This earth upon proper plan
VIA run both night and day;
The solar system we will scan
Perhaps, and change its way.
There's just one point that hurts a bit
And leaves us slightly glum;
If it does all laid out for it,
will have to hurry some
But still the patriot gaily sings
Our sorrows will be few
If Congress only does the things
That it's expected to.

Cortelyou and the Treasury.

From the New York Sun.
All the charges banded about in relation
to Mr.. Cortelyou's appointment to the treas
ury have been dishonest and disingenuous
and have been inspired by disreputable mo-
tives Not one of them would bear investi-
cation, or, if looked into, would reflect in
the slightest degree upon his fitness for the
secretaryship or upon his ability to perform
his duties. Mr.. Roosevelt has long medi-
tated Mr. Cortelyou for the place, and the
Sun long since. and when many matters
were vastly different, gave its hearty ap-
prOvaf to the selection. 1t believed then, as
it believes now, that a better man cannot
be found, or one who possesses more excep-
tional qualifications and there Is only one
regret worth mentioning, and that is that
he was not installed there long ago.

The Salvation Army.

From the Duluth News-Tribune.
1t Is strange that downtown churches
seem to be failures in all the large cities.
Those who pay the freight decline to at
tend them, and the shepherds in charge
seem to be unable to gather in the lost
sheep, the transient sinners and the wan
dering souls of the busy, noisy business
sections. The only systematized Christian
workers who appear able to flourish there
and accomplish anything of value are the
soldiers of the Salvation Army. The field
where work is most needed, the actually
battling face to face with Satan, is left to
them and they. never shirk the contest.

The District Commissioners having made
a study of railway conditions are now re-
quired to turn their attention to the in
tricaces of the gas manufacturing bust
ness. The impression of many people liv-
ing elsewhere that a District Commission
ership involves but moderate degree Of
toll and responsibility is very erroneous.

The One PuZZler.

Does Biggins think he can make his
farm pay?"
No. He says he could have the Panama
canal turning out dividends in few years
that he could run the Post Office Depart
ment at profit, or make the railroads meet
all the expenses of the government. His
hundred-acre farm is the only thing 1 ever
heard him mention that he didn't think he
could make pay"

Parsimony in Pennsylvania.

Somebody is growing very careless UP in
Pennsylvania. Yesterday the secretary Of
the state capitol dedication commission
turned over to the treasury an unexpended
balance of S13.65452 out of the appropria-
ton of $4,000 made by the legislature of
1905 to defray the expenses of the glorlfica-
ton over the big new state house. How did
this happen? Surely all the itching palms
have not been crossed. Or are the faithful
followers of the machine actually tired of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-01-11

picking plums off the ground? Or Is 3d.
654.52 too small a sum to be noticed? Or
has Pennsylvania suddenly grown parsi-
rnonious. after spending millions so prodi-
gally upon plaster pillars and imitation
bronze and veneer? Really, the incoming
governor ought to investigate that balance
1t suggests that something like conscience
is at work in the keystone state, and
conscience is sometimes more troublesome
than a revolt.
