The Army horseback L.

The War Department officials-those Of
the bureaus and the general staff-are de-
scribed as toiling over the details OF the
latest plan of President Roosevelt to re-
juvenate the military personnel. II was
lately decreed that army officers should
qualify themselves for active service by
submitting TO a ninety-mile three-dav
horsemanship test. and it is presumed
that the present consideration OF the
problem by the experts has to do with
the method by which this demonstration

Hero Schnifz

II sovereign States in this land Of the
free possessed the right OF conferring titles
of nobility and knightly orders upon
iliustrious subjects, we presume California
would create Mr.. Eugene Schnitz some
thing in the nature of "nobleman' at
least as high up in the scale as an Eng
lish earl. Moreover. we have no doubt
his manly breast would be bedecked with
stars, crosses, and emblems Of knigbthood
galore.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Schmitz had been found guilty by a Jury
OF the meanest and most despicable Of ex-
rortion. much Of II during a period when
the city Of San Francisco was PROSTATE

OF record in this country. the court above
has decided that Schmitz was not right

doing anything he appears to have done.

vision. and. of course. under the higher

permitted 10 go from his prison under

PROTECTION OF ALIENS.
Secretary Taft's PIea for Federal
Action Commended.


Action Commended.
From the New York Tribune.
In his address TO the Brooklyn Bar As
sociation last Saturday evening Secretary
Taft dwelt strongly on the advisabilitv
Of applying one OF the unused powers OF
the Federal Constitution. This power
though inherent and legitimate, has never
been invoked. and failure 70 invoke II
has often put the national government
TO confusion and embarrassment. AS a
nation with duties and obligations to
other nations with which il has entered
into treaty relations. the United States
has often had 10 confess that it does not
guarantee to aliens the same rights and
protection which II asks for It's own citi-
zens in alien jurisdictions. II is an un-
gracious and unpleasant admission to
make that we do not ourselves live up to
standards of comfy by which we benefit,
and the Secretary Of War is right in urg-
ing Congress TO assume the degree of re-
sponsibility FOR the protection Of foreign
citizens and subjects which other nations
assume toward American citizens who
enter their territory.
The Federal government is alone ca
pable of making treaties and exchanging
guarantees with foreign powers But by
defect in our domestic policy the ma
tional administration has never asserted
the exclusive right to deal with offenses
against foreigners within our borders. II
has left to the civil and criminal courts
OF the States the execution of the laws "a
which an alien wronged IN person OF
property must appeal The States are
presumed 70 act as the Federal govern
ments agents in granting redress But

PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYED
Not Temporary Phenomenon, but q

From the Indepcndent.
All kinds OF Wild statements and lin

especially in New York AT the present

5000, 10 that Of Mr.. Bruere. general
agent Of the association for improving
the conditions Of the poor that there are
at least 5000 unemployed union men. and
as many more unorganized laborers in
this city. the margin OF error Is wide. Il
/ is sufficient 70 say, however, that the
Charities estimate. unless It is meant 70
apply TO vagTants only. is worthless. All
other estimates, including that officially
issued by the department OF labor al Al
bany. agree closely with Mr.. 8ruere's fig

much as the unions do not class a men,
Der as unemployed II he has as much as
two days of work a week, and do not
aid him if he has one day a week. these
figures show a serious state OF affairs.
From organizations engaged I'm relieving
destitution, the appeals 10 the public for
aid are more urgent than we remember
them 70 have been for a generation. Indi-
viduals who know the situation well pri-
vately remark that there has been no
such distress IN New York City for at
least thirty-five years.
In view Of these facts, attempts to min
imize their significance. and the careful
avoidance by the daily press Of all Sc
rious discussion OF them are childish and
misch;evous. Not in the least mischiev-
Gus. because nobody with brains in
his skull is deceived. but excessively
silly and tiresome is the relteration Of
the charge that the attempt Of the na-
tional and state governments TO make
corporations obey the law OF the land
have brought upon Us all this misery.
The simpletons who believe such stuff
should provide themselves with a few re-
cent issues OF European newspapers and
magazines. They wiz find that the Amer
lean situation is paralleled in London. in
Berlin, and in Milan.
The one fact that cannot he bIInkAd or

centage Of mankind is outside the margin
Of economic safety. When times are
booming, it finds employment al living
wages, which. however. do not provide
for contingencies. As often as the lean
years come. this ragged edge Of the wage
labor class is unhesitatingly dropped
from the rolls and thrown upon the ten
