HEADLIGHT

The electric headlight tried recently in
the Maine Central railroad for the first
time met with an accident which. in a
measure. proved its superiority.
The headlight was placed on the ex-
press train. which left here last night
at 1870 O'Clock, for Bangor. 1t return

reached here at 1850 O'Clock. The lenses
had been broken and It was said that
the heat which had been generated by
the strong ght had melted and broken
them.
They had not been Of sufficient
strength to offer the necessary protec-
tion. The light proved TO be success

REFORM MUST REACH
TO THE TOP.

1t Is occasion for profound regret
that President Roosevelt has not
deemed conditions favorable to press
his plan for reform of the Navy De
partmen; Nobody knows better than
the Chief Executive that the reform
is needed, and doubtless it will be
one OF the real regrets he viii feel, in
retiring from Office, that he shall not
have been able to attain his ideal in
this matter, so close to his heart.
. Well-wishers of the naval service will
hope that Secretary Newberry may
have all the success he hopes, in his
effort to coordinate the bureaus OF
his department, and to achieve the sub
stantial benefits of general staff or
ganization without a general staff
But it will be remarkable if he shall
succeed.
When the British commission on
army reform, headed by Lord EsheT,
and including Sir John Fisher, reported
OH the needs OF the British army after
the Boer war, it insisted strongly that
complete reorganization ought to be
instituted, which would assure that the
new plan should not be dragged down
by the misfortune of being entrusted,
for its execution, TO officials who had
been committed 70 the older and un-
satisfactory organization. Ths result
was a general staff organization for
the British army, on the lines OF their
naval staff. The United States will
not attain the solid results which
should be secured to justify the i'm
mense annual cost of the navy, till it
shall recognize this same feature of
Jne situation regarding the bureaucracy
of the navy.
The general board OF the navy is a
vast improvement on the system which
existed prior to the Spanish war; but
IL Is not general staff, and it cannot be
made one by any hocus -Pocus Of eXecu-
tive administration, so long as the law
stands as it does today. We suspect
that President Roosevelt and Secretary
NewbeTTy recognize the probable fail
ure of their project They want to
do just as much as possible, as soon
as possible. They are right in TINS;
but that is no sound reason why, while
doing this, they should not also press
for a general revision OF the organiza-
tion on the general staff plan. If a
war should come, between this country
and some frst-class power, and. find
conditions similar to those which con
fronted our naval organization at the
beginning of the Spanish war, it might
easily become a national tragedy.

OUR INEXCUSABLE WASTE.

It has become "A commonplace, but =
none the less a fact, that the law is In
some respects more solicitous for ami
mails than for men. In the handling Of
cattle on railroads there would not be
permitted for a day the abomiuab.e and
dangerous Overcrowding which has long
prevailed on many Of our transportation
lines for human beings.
The professional breeder Of horses or
cattle would he esteemed "a fool and

tion to the welfare Of his stock than
many parents do to that OF their chill

Of buildings, machinery. and material

There is only one way. It is the way
of every business, of every national

ment excepting only our own. 1t is the
imposition of the cost of permanent i'm
provements upon them who get the
benefit, not upon them alone who are
paying the taxes during the course Of

To do this, it is indispensable that
Congress shall separate the items of
current expenditure on the District

be made to see that those who pay the

THE DECISION IN THE VIR-
GINA RATE CASE.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that the Virginia
2-cent fare case is not properly before
it and therefore refuses to pass on
the merits of the case. It says the
constitutionality of a State law should
first be passed upon by the highest
States courts before an appeal lies to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The decision leaves undeter-
mined the point Of real interest
namely, whether a 2-cent fare is so low
as to amount to confscation of rail
road property
There has been q change in the attitude
toward railroads in the last two years,
al.- we believe that the public is per
fectIy willing TO give the railroads time
before taking drastic action cooking
toward reduction of rates. We do not
know whether or not there has been
so thorough an investigation of the
rate question in Virginia as to Justify
the Legislature in saying that a 2-cent
fare is a reasonable one. If there has
not been. the State Is better off for
delay in having the rate put into effect.
The South is greatly in need of capi-
tai for its development, and for the
time being it should be not only con
servative but ultra conservative in its
treatment of investors. No other sec
ton of the country is so deficient in
railroad facilities, and anything that
retards railroad building is a blow at
the growth Of the South. In the cir
it would better pay an
increase rate-even if subsequent de-
velopments demonstrate that the rate
Is an eXOTbitant OEe-than frigften
away capital by fear Of radical action.
Even though in tnickly settled States
Ike Ohio-where railroad building is
cheap-a 2-cent rate is
profitable, it does not follow, by any
means, that it is profitable in Virginia.
The State ought not to try to put
into effect a 2-cent rate until, first,
it Is certain that the rate allows rea-
sonable returns TO the railroads; and.
second. until it is assured that the
legislation will not injuriously affect
the flow of railroad and other capital
into the State.

IS ALL CHICAGO TO GO TO
JAIL?

DIR. William A. Evans, health com
missioner of Chicago, in addressing the
medical society of that city. declares
the health OF the people there to be
worse than that of prisoners, and says
that the sanitation of the penitentiary
Is better than that OF the average Chi
cago home or public hall.
DR.. Evans. moreover, specifically de-
aras that the death rate in the prisons
is lower than that among the popuIa-
tion at large.
The menaces to Chicagoans are thus
.h5E multiplied. Such things as be
ing shot dead in the streets are not
new to them. Now they are also to
be smotherod unless they hasten to get
into Jail. All in all, pork-paeking
seems to be again vindicated as the
only science that commands the serv-
ices of Chicago experts.

SHALL WE PROTECT MATE
RIAL OR INDUSTRY?

Representatives of the tanning in.
dustry have recently been before the
Ways and Means Committee, discussing
the tariff on hides. Pressed for frank
expression, these gentlemen admitted
that if they could have free hides
they opined that they would be able
to monopolize in the United States the
worlds tanning business. They made
it clear that their greatest concern
was not for a market or a process.
but for raw material
These tanners, when further pressed.
admitted that they did not especially
require a duty on leather to protect
their product. To them, it appeared,
the important UnIng was free raw ma
tefal; not a protected market.
Given free hides, the tanners opined
that Jhey would be able to take care
of themselves. Their case is simple.
The protective tariff has.protected the
American tanning industry to the point
where it has become the greatest tan
ming industry in the world. 1t has
outgrown the restricted market which
exists behind the Chinese walls of the
American tariff schedules; it looks with
longing eyes to the worlds markets.
1t wants to sell its products to
l,500,00O,O00 people instead of to
S5,000.000 people. 1t seeks the markets
OF the six continents instead OF a frag-
ment of one. But to annex them. it
must have assurance of free raw ma
terial
The world does not raise more hides
than it needs. The American live
stock grower. like the American wheat
grower, is assured Of good price for
his product, because the world must
wear shoes and must eat. It becomes.
then, a question where Iue hides shall
be tanned, and where the wheat shall
be ground into -four. Proper adjust
ment of tariff and transportation rates
means that the United States will be-
come the headquarters Of both indus
tries.
Tanning and milling have attained
their highest perfection in this country.
This country has led in producing raw
material and in developing processes,
The time is come when it must be
determined il we shall 60 on protecting
raw material or protecting industry.
Raw material means acres and cattle;
