cityj when justices of the peace, IN
the absence of the Book of Books,
used the Sunpaper's compilation in
administering oaths; when youths
leaving to seek their fortunes in
distant chimes never felt fully
equipped unless there were stored
in their knapsack, a Bible, guide,
and the Sunpaper almanac.
But we fear the influence of these
degenerate days has been felt by
even this bulwark of freedom, pa
triotism, and literature. We notice
a complete and painful absence Of
poetry from its pages, a distinct
and noticeable falling off in ex-
cerpts from the work Of the late
justly famous Joseph Miller and the
elimination of the BEST Ways to
Serve Oysters" This last feature
has in times past always been well
worth the price of the publication,
for which no charge was ever made.
The department of "Crabs and Crab
bling" is also omitted and many will
sorrow thereat.
We can still find in this sacred
tome, however, that revered para
graph headed "Aatidotes for Poi
sons" beginning, Send for Ply
stefan" Little is said, this year,
about the fishing in Jones Falls, but
there is considerable space devoted
to the morning and evening stars,
On the whole the work can still be
Endorsed as one which every home
without is still lacking.

FRIDAY. JANUARY "A, 1903
Warning to Mr.. Good Man.

There is a very plain and polhteu
bit of warning to the really goou
man in the case Of Mr.. O'Brien, the
dentist. who has just been given a
decree of divorce from his wife.
Mr.. OBrien was ana, for all we
know, may stiu be a good man. His
wife who was is on record as de-
claring him a perfect man, as having
absolutely no vices"
But Mrs. O'Brien failed 70 find
perfect happiness in the company
of this perfect man, this man with
absolutely no vices. She yearned
for the society of men not so per
feet. It goes without saying that
as she lived in New York, she had
no difficulty in finding them. That
Mr.. O'Brien found her out IS no
matter. but that she sought these
wicked men, that the viceless man
paIIed upon her, and left longing
: in her bosom that had to be salts
fed may well give the good man.
the perfect man, pause. Are we too
good for our wives? is not dash
of devfltry TO be welcomed by
them? Do they not sometimes
rebel at our superiority?
Woman Is a strange animal Her
likes and dislilkes are not always
IN accord with her preachments. II
Is sometimes the part of wisdom to
have our fling, carry on in a way
smore or less tinged with reckless
mess, and voice a naughty contempt
for the things that are good and
true and beautiful. At any rate
the case of Mr.. O'Brien Is worthy
of some bordering.

SCHOOL HEARINGS

Seven high school principals and

taken by the public schools committee
OF the Chamber OF Commerce IN its in

z yeting held In the offices Of the Cham
Ice, ia F street. last evening.
Another hearing viii be held tonight
at o'clock which IS expected to be
the last given by the committee before
making up It's report
DR., Chancellor has been invited to ap-
pear tonight. but up 10 this morning
he had not notified the chairman, Per
clval NJ. Brown, that he would be
present
Mr.. Brown said this morning that IN
less it were found necessary TO hold
another hearing, the one tonight would
be the last held by the committee and
that a report would be prepared at
once, and a special meeting OF the
board Of directors called to consider the
committees findings and recOmmenda-
lions.
The next regular meeting OF the di-
rectors is February ., but Mr.. Brown
thinks the report of the committee
should not be delayed until that time.
At the first meeting Of the new com
mittee on charities and corrections OF
the Board OF Trade the question of bet
tering conditions at the United States
Jail and the District workhouse was
taken up.

MORE PAY IN ARMY
FAVORED IN HOUSE

That Congress VIII pass legislation
for increased army pay is now looked
on as possible. Sentiment in the House
Committee on Military Affairs is re-
garded as favorable for increased pay.
Chairman Hull, Of that committee, is
friendly 10 an increase and action has
been taken by the Senate Military At
fairs Committee authorizing q favorable
report on the Warren bill dealing with
army pay.
In committee some notifications Of
the original bill were made, The bill
as il stands now and as II will be re-
ported to the Senate Monday allows an
increase Of . per cent to lieutenant gem
erals. Of 10 10 major generals, Of 10 TO
DTigadieT generals. of 20 10 colonies, leu
tenant colonies. and majors, and OF .
TO other commissioned officers and cadets
at West Point.
The Warren bin Will allow the PresI-
dent TO TX the increase for the enlisted
men. not to exceed 10 per cent It is
likely this feature Of the Warren bill
viii meet with a good deal of Objec-
ton, in view OF the fact q much greater
increase IS allowed some Of the Officers
than the enlisted men. Many Of the
members OF Congress favor an Increase
OF 80 per cent for the enlisted forces.

The Beloved Almanac.

That blest season Of the whole
year. the season Of the almanac, is
now upon US. AS spring is said to
begin really in March, but is never
acknowledged until May arrives, so
the almanac season may he said to
begin in December, but we are never
really sure it is here until the Balti-
more Sunpaper almanac reaches our
desk. It is the first bluebird of the
new year, the opening note Of Ma
lures carol, the call to order of the
assembly of the months, the peal on
the bell that calls the DAYS before
US.
The Sunpaper almanac may not
bulk as hugely as some, it may not
reach so far into the past, or cover
the world so COMPREHENSIVE, but
to one who has once known the Joy
of its possession, who has realized
what an ever present help in time
of trouble it is, who knows where
within its friendly pages TO turn for
Wit or humor, for wisdom or sym
pathy, all other almanacs are a
delusion and a snare. 1t is the
"HousekeePer's Helper" the Fam
lily Doctor" Every Man His Own

SHOOTS REAL SELF
AF TER LONG ORDEAL

Senator Smoot OF Utah ct last is his
natural self. For years the man whose
title to q Senatorial seat was under at
tack because he was an apostle OF the
Mormon Church. did not dare to be his
real self. II may well be doubted II any
man in the history OF the Senate ever
went through so long and trying an or
deal in that body as cid he. Modest
by nature. but with plenty OF opinions
and convictions, he was compelled, 50
long as his case was pending, to conduct
himself as IL he were on probation. For
one thing, in the anxious effort to culti-
vate the good gTaCes Of DEMONSTRATORS
he became VIGOROUSLY the greatest list
ener on earth. He never left the cham
Der while anybody was talking. He
learned the art Of listening 10 perfec-
ton. He always watched the speaker
with care and appearance OF genuine in
terest; never forgot himself; never went
10 sleep; always seemed convinced that
the particular speech IN progress was
the event Of the session.
SmOOt doesn't have TO do Il now. His
title 10 his seat has been vindicated. He
listens less and talks more. He has
been showing this session q disposition
10 break out Of the shell In which SO
long he has maintained respectful sil-
ence, and TO take a hand in the making
OF the laws.
II IS said there Is no doubt that Sena-
.. tor Smoot Will succeed himself in the
upper chamber. His State realizes the
handicap under which he has served,
and is going 10 give him another term
with practically no serious opposition.

BROWNSON LETTERS
BEFORE THE HOUSE
Former Chief of Staff Dis
cuSseS Command of
Hospital Ships.
Urges That Same Efficiency
Is Required as Is on
BattleShipS.

The official correspondence relative to
the appointment Of stan officers 10 CON-
mand hospital ships has been laid be-
fore the House. In long memorandum
prepared by Admiral BroWnson, former
chief OF the Navigation Bureau, the ad-
m!E2l submits reasons why, in his Opin-
ion. the department. should reverse its
decision 10 commission the Relief IN
command OF a medical officer. This is
dated November Is, thereby antedGting
the admiraTs resignation by nearly a
month.
In brief, Admiral BTownscn holds that
whether hospital ships OF not, such yes
sells as the Relief are to accompany a
fleet. and must be handled in the sitme
seamanlike manner that is required OF
all vessels to assure safety on the high
seas, and that there is nothing il the
training OF e medical man which FITS
him for such command.

Indiana'S Helping Hand.

Washington's business men have
for years been fighting and strug-
CLING, swearing and praying for
greater and better and more beau
tiful Washington. Very consider
ately that old State of Indiana has
withheld her condemnation, or her
approval She has refused to inter
fere in purely local affairs.
If the National Capital was to be
made glorious, that was for US to
decide. If our avenues were TO be
wide and imposing and to be lined
with beautiful and dignified struc-
lures, as became the capital of a
great people, well and good, but
Indiana would not presume to die
tate to US.
If the treasures Of the Govern
ment departments, inestimably
valuable, were to be preserved from
the destroying hand of fire or the
unhOly hand of theft, that WIS our
lookout. It was for the people Of
Washington to supply an adequate
police and fire department. Indiana
had troubles Of her own.
But if Washington wanted a glass
Of beer or a bottle of wine, that
was an entirely different matter;
that was a national question for
fair; that was a paramount issue,
and Indiana must be heard, her adj
vice must be hearkened unto. There
interference became q duty, and
presumption a virtue. Here come
in great hurry and excitement the
good people of Charlestown, Ind,
and Wabash, and KOkOmo, and Peru,
and Valparaiso, and Warsaw, and
Brazil, and Miami-really did you
ever see such a lot of Indians and
foreigners with petitions miles in
length, and demand we stop drink
| ing any sort of malt or vinOus bev-
erages. You would think the world
would blow up and the heavens be
rolled together as a scroll unless
| Washington burned its saloons
| lynched it's bartenders, and poured
its beer and whisky into James
creek canal.
/ Far be it from US to deny evil In
drink or to clothe drunkenness in
garments Of attractive hue. Equally
distant is the desire to receive the
prudent advice and wise counseings
of the good people Of Indiana OF
/ Georgia or Tennessee, or any Other
| State with arrogance or lny lack o.
that humility which other cities
have ever found becoming to US
We ever welcome guidance in oul
affairs. We ever reach out NOR,
than half way for the helping hand
which so oft IS withdrawn just a!
we are about to clasp it, and by iii
aid crawl upward into the sun
shine that illumines the high peaks
of representations, Georgia, Ten
nessee, and others too numerous t
mention.
We really want to be good. W,
really need help, but we are sad
dened by the thought that it is onl,
when what seems to be a matter o
purely Washington peoples concern
is I'M Indiana and Georgia and Ten
/ nessee get busy and tell their abb
and brilliant Representatives jus
what to do for us and do to US.
We protest against this intermit
tent zeal. We beseech our wise AM
| good friends in other cities and il
the great sisterhood of States to b
constant in their prayers in our be
half, and diligent in their labcrs t

The Friendly Takahira.

1t seems proper to note just now
that when Baron Takahira, who sue
Deeds Viscount Aok as Japanese
ambassador at Washington, served
his country here, between 1900 and
1905, as minister, he was accounted
the foremost exponent Of the good
viii then existing between Japan
and the United States. 1t was
owing to his zeal and apparent sin
certify in this respect that he Won
the friendship of President Roose-
Welt, who, when Japan needed a
powerfuI friend after matters
reached a crisis in Manchuria during
the war with Russia, issued his his
toric call for peace.
"I assure you" said the baron, ad-
dressing the American Asiatic Asso-
citation IN New York when the
treaty of Portsmouth had been con-
eluded, that President Roosevelt
will be fmmOrtaIized forever in the
hearts Of my countrymen, as we'll
as by the people Of that part Of the
Far East where our influence ex-
tends, and all Americans viii always
receive there a cordial welcome"
But, after all, it was not the feel
ing Of gratitude for what President
Roosevelt had done so much as the
esneraI friendliness for Americans
n general that makes this farewell
speech Of special interest today
when it would appear that the diplo-
matte relations between the two
countries are undergoing a some
what severe strain.
ct believe the present time is
most opportune for the American
people to extend their commercial
interests in the Ear East" said the
distinguished japanese statesman;
and then he went on to say that he
hoped every effort would be used
&'to promote as much as possible the
mutual interest and reciprocal ad
vantage of commerce and naviga
ton between the two borders of the
Pacific"
In a previous speech during that
same memorable visit he touched
significantly on the political aspect.
of this Japanese-American develop
ment of trans-Pacifc trade. II
America develops the Philippines
and Hawaii" he said, Japan viii br
benefited to a large extent. ]
Japan, on the other hand, more ex
tensiveIy opens up Formosa anC
other parts of the empire to trade
the United States must reap thei
share of the harvest. Both, it /
clear, must benefit by the develop
ment of China, for which both ar
now striving" He affirmed tina
Japan has watched the growth o
the United States without envy o
jealousy. We felt it was to be 70
all time" he went on, "a rivalry O
friends. an amicable and good
natured competition for trad,
There is room enough for bot
countries TO exploit themselves"
At this time, of course, there wa
no soreness over the immigratio
question. But the fact remains tha
Japan is deeply indebted to tn
United States for bringing 10 a
end what Takahira has picturesque
" described as the fight betwee

First Of Issue.

It appears from the correspondence
that the order Of Acting Secretary
Darling IN Juce, 1904, ia authorizing
medical officers TO use TIE term Gin
command or instead Of ain charge Of
was tho first departure from what has
since developed into an issue between
the line and staff officers.
The papers contain an adverse nota-
ton BY Admiral Converse on a proposal
OF the Joint medical board of the army
and navy to place surgeons in command
OF hospital ships. The admiral held
that Il IS necessary 10 discipline that
the officers and crews Of such ships
should be subjected to naval law and
regllatio
