self condition leading to bad times,
however important would be the con-
tribution of such legislation to the stable
prosperity of the country.
It will not he safe to look for sudden
rush OF business. carrying the prosperity
tide back to the phenomenal figures
eighteen months ago. That was unuues-
tonaby period of imitation. of unwise
speculation. Of business expansion upon
insufficient capital. of extreme credit ex-
tension. Prices were too high in the
stock market. and when they broke they
carried down with them public faith In
the stability of the economic structure,
whereas in fact that structure was quite
as strong as ever. What is most to he
desired now is a gradual return I'D the
line. with the stock market only reflect
ing the advance in real values and not
inducing speculation by the wide fluctua
tons which tempt the public to pour
money into Wall street which should be
put into investments.

Pass the Probation Bill.

II Is generally understood that there is
no objection whatever in the House to the
bill recently passed by the Senate pro-
viding for the establishment here of a
probation system. In all Likelihood ten
minutes work in committee and five min
utes in the House will send the measure
through SO that the system can be put
into operation Immediately. Chairman
Jenkins of the House committee on judi
ciary is being informed by personal calls
and by correspondence of the urgent hope
of rhe District citizens that some such
method of saving men from criminal
lives should be adopted. These indorse-
ments of the measure come from high
sources. the advocates of the bill includ-
ing members of the local judiciary and
bar as we'll as citizens vino have made
a study of pathological matters for years
The Senate committees report was a
powerful argument In favor of the sys-
tenn. 1t left no doubt whatever In the
unprejudiced mind as to the economic as
we'll as the moral advantages to be de-
rived from process whereby the casual
offender is given a chance 10 redeem him
self and start anew.
If this were q controverted proposition
floor, there might be warrant, at this
time of the session, TO let 1t pass over for
mai consideration next winter. But unless
the reports are all wrong there is no dis
position whatever in the House to ques-
ton the advisability of applying to the
District a system of proba ton which has
succeeded elsewhere. II is understoo that
the Speaker of the House is willing that
the measure should be given its chance
for passage at this session. and all that
remains to be done is for the committee
on Judiciary to bring it into the House
with favorable report. which can prob
ably be secured after few minutes can
wasting OF the members. The loss Of a
year which would he involved in post
.ponement is certain TO cost heavily. Every
month men are being degraded by i'm
prisonment who under more humane
and enlightened system of correction and
admonition could.be spared the corroding
experience. of prison life. These men are
worth saving, and the sooner the pending
bill is enacted into law the less this
waste in human life will be-

Strike "Sympathizers.

Responsibility for the use of dynamite
in wrecking cars in Cleveland Is laid upon
the sympathiZers of the strikers. Who
are the sympathizers, SO inevitably In.
voked into disorderly craftsmanship when
ever the employees of street railroad
company decide to quit work in body ?
Are they unemployed men, idlers with
nothing TO do but make trouble; or are
they responsible citizens, aroused sudden
ly to passion of even murderous spirit
against strikebreakers and passengers,
or are they in truth strikers themselves
those who have the most at stake in the
trouble?
Whoever these sympathizers may be,
their proneness TO hurl stones, fire guns.
cut wires, derail cars and even to use
dynamite is perfectly well known. The
moment the word is given for the en-
ployes of a street railway corporation to
strike it is assured beyond peradventure
that disorder will follow in consequence
or the craftsmanship of these sympathetic
friends. No railway strike leader ever
CAV" the signal for a walkout without
knowing that he was mourning a heavy
responsibility and invoking the elements
OF disorder possibly of tragedy.
Municipal officials who begin dealing
with street railway strike by adopting
the policy of on-interference on the
score that il is the corporations business
and not their own. almost invariably hav.
occasion in a fsw days to regret their
course. More preventive work can be done
In the first day of strike than In the
last week. Yet il is rare that reliable
methods are adopted TO safeguard the
public and to restore order and safe traf-
fic in the first few hours of the situation
The case usually develops along these
lines: Strike breakers, volleys of stones
the detail of policemen OH the front plat
forms pistol shot, a police rush with
clubs, the dispersal of the crowd and then
after few days of such performances
with the public meanwhile terrorized and
prevented from using the street cars. a
pitched battle between the police and
strikers. and hloodshed. Then perhaps
may come the militia. the proclamation o,
martial law. and after a few weeks the
subsistence of the strike and the institu-
ton OF negotiations for resumption of
work.
1t Is all wasteful process a sa,Iauder-
ing or time. public convenience and lives.
and the marvel is that the lesson is re-
peated from city to city and from wear Ia
year without any apparent gain through
experience toward the goal of prevention
and peace.

The following paragraph in the dis
pa tches from Pittsburg tells a cheerful
story:
Evidence of returning prosperity is
furnished by the announcement that the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad has or
dered the Standard Steel Company to be
gin construction of Zoo all-steel cars to
be used in handling the tonnage between
the coal and coke regions and the lakes
The order calls for Loo specially de-
signed al-steel coke cars and LOCO all
steel gondolas The contract was origi-
naliy awarded last summer. but was held
up
1t will he noticed that these are cars
thar We're ordered twelve months ago to
adjust to conditions existing at this time
III 1907. The fact that construction has
been begun on them may be regarded as
"A sure indication that the business cur
rents are flowing once more in their
usual strength and volume.
There is no real reason why prosperity
should not return. All the reports from
the crops are good The political situa
ton holds no grave menace of upsetting
business conditions in the future. There
is plenty of money and confidence is
fairly we'll restored. 1t is true that
Congress may adjourn without enacting
the desired currency legislation. but the
business interests are not so much con-
cerned over that failure as are the bank
ing establishments of the country. The
emergency measures adopted during the
panic of last fall. when prices were be-
ing smashed under heavy liquidation
pressure. served their purpose well. The
Treasury came to the relief Of the impor-
has -
over the crisis. OF course it is not safe
permanently to trust to such ways and
means to get the country out of its en-
barrassments when CONFIDENCE fails, credit
is destroyed, money is withdrawn from
circulation and panic prevails. Yet the
lack OF currency legislation is not Of it.

Let the Veterans Ride.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
In less than fortnight will arrive the
day which carries the largest and most
sacred Significance for the survivors OF
the Grand Army of the Republic. Each
year the ranks are noticeably thinner
and the efforts Of those who participate in
the march from cemetery TO cemetery to
pay honors to dead comrades more Ia
bored, and. to many, more painful. The
spectacle has become almost pathetic. Age
has rather strengthened enthusiasm. how
ever and the wearer of the bronze button
must be feeble indeed who will not I'M
dertake to answer the annual roll call.
There Is growing feeling that the time
has come when some less exhaustive
method Of making the circuits should be
employed, and it Is suggested In various
places that the veterans should make
OF transportation should be furnished.

Science and War.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Science will never make wars impos-
sible, because science can never limit the
ingenuity and knowledge of men TO a sin
gle channel. The defensive will ever keep
pace with the offensive, and destructive
ness Will sooner or later carry it's own
antidote. When mems hearts are cieansed
and purified. when peace becomes the
IDEAL Of herosm and courage then and
then only will wars cease upon the earth
And the same humane Influences can be
depended upon. in all probability, to prove
the falsity of the dismal predictions of
the fatal trend Of commercial progress
