Growing Cost of the Army.

The increasing cost Of miIitaFism IS
not alone exemplified in rapidly expand
Ing naval expenditures, but also in the
growing expense of the army establish
ment. The army appropriation bin.
which has just passed both Houses. car
ries total OF Ss5 000. 600. or an increase
of s17.O00a0O over the current appropria-
ton. OF this, S7,o0oo eco Is for the increase
OF army pay. approximately 5000 900 for
enlisted men and s2.000.000 for officers. It
also carries nearly sl000,0OO for the puT-
chase Of heavy furniture for the use of
officers. But Ss5, ,000.OOO does not comprise
the whole of the army expenditure. Ten
millions. is provided In the fortihcations
bill, s4o00,o00 more in the sundry civil
bill, and the permanent annual appro-
priation is s4060.oo0. making a total Of
Sl1S000,00 that the army viii cost the
country during the coming year.
This sum. large as it is. does not tell
the whole truth about the cost of the
army, especially for the future. Repre-
sentative Hay. of Virginia. a member Of
the Committee on Military Affairs. stated
in the House that the bill did not pro-
vide money enough for the increase Of
pay authorized. He predicted that in FIVE
years, when the increase-of-pay provision
had come into full operation, the gov
ernment viii have TO appropriate every
year not less than S25.000.O00 as a result
Of this increase Of pay-as much as the
army was costing at the beginning OF
the Spanish war" In other words with
out the addition Of a single man TO the
authorized army establishment, the cost
Of it is constantly increasing. so that
with an army less than three times as
large as formerly we shall soon expend
for all army purposes five times as much
as formerly
The significant thing about this in
crease. as of all other increases in gov
eTnment expenditure, is that 1t appears
inevitable. No one can suggest any way
OF averting it, and Congress is prac-
tieally powerless TO prevent it, even If
there were any sentiment against il. IN
deed. nothing is more characteristic Of
debate in both Houses than the express
sions of helplessness in face of the
mounting food of public expenditures
Committee chairmen may lament the

Changing a Climate.

The army Medical Department has
achieved victory over what may be
called climatic conditions, and has accom-
plished this so near home as Forts Hunt
and Washington, on the Potomac River.
Last year those neighboring army posts
gained the distinction of having the high
est malsrial rates OF any military gar
rison in the United States, and the army
surgeons, who have to do with the sani-
tation Of the military establishment. set
themselves to the task of changing these
statistics in a way which would re
form" Forts Hunt and Washington into
localities less menacing to health. They
have been so successful as 10 convert the
Potomac River posts almost into veritable
health resorts. In the year in which
the army surgeons have directed their ef-
forts to this improvement, the rate from
malariai fever at Fort Washington has
been reduced to less than one-half of
that Of the preceding year. while at Fort
Hunt the reduction in the rate has been
to about one-third, al admirable show
ing in all respects. This has been Re-
cOmplished by a persistent attack upon
the mosquito. with a destruction Of the
breeding places Of that insect, as well as
the thorough screening of all of the build
ings at the post.
The same sort OF warfare against the
causes of disease has been conducted
with assiduity at other army posts where
the rate for malarial fever was too high
The army surgeons approach these prob
lens Of excessive rates OF sickness with
keen relish, and have been rewarded with
the information that the malarial rate
for the whole United States, so far as Il
has 70 do with army health, has been
reduced by nearly 50 per cent as COM
pared with the rate Of sickness of the
preceding year. This is due TO the adOp-
ton at other places in the United States
of the same measures of precaution and
protection which have been applied at
Forts Hunt and Washington All Of
which justifes the wisdom Of Congress
in its somewhat belated legislation, re-
Gently enacted. increasing and reOrganfz-
ing the Medical Department of the army
A branch Of the military establishment
which preserves life and eradicates sick
ness is surely entitled to Congressional
consideration. An investment of the pub
lie funds in that direction is a profitable
one.

Secret Criminal Trials.

A writer in Government, enIargfne on
the influence of suggestion over human
actions, argues for the abolition of pub-
lie criminal trials. THE world at large.
he says, knows too much about crimes
criminals and criminology. and there
would be a lesser number of the two
former If the doors Of the criminal courts
were closed upon a curious and sensa-
tion-seeking public He alleges that
these benefits will accrue from the aboli-
ton of open criminal trials:
4 The public viii be freed from its TOO great
intimacy with crime, with the result that fewer
cFimes viii be committed
2 The commission Of crime win be lessened. be-
cause criminals viii be more fearful Of a private
tribunal than Of one attended by To- public
) The coGsts viii be freed from the influence
sometime wrought upon their proceedings BY an in
tsfested or demonstTatiFe public
L Perhaps the greatest benefit Of the plan would
be IN the taking Of criminal trials out Of the reach
Of the iurd journalism Of the day for TIE sugges-
ton necessarily comprises the idea Of the exclusion
OF newspaper reporters and the suppression Of news
paper reports
The writer, unfortunately. does not ex-
plain how, under the constitutional guar
antee to every person accused of crime
of the right to a speedy and public
trial" the doors Of courtrooms can he
closed to the public OF course. a Judge
may exclude certain portions of the pub
lie, women and young persons, for ex-
ample. but he cannot hold any criminal
trial behind closed DOORS And the guar
antee Of a public trial carries with II the
right OF the press to print the court pro-
ceedlngs-a right that could not be con-
stltutionally denied. In addition to the
futility Of the proposal to suppress court
proceedings in its constitutional aspect
there is a practical reason why such
suppression would not accomplish the OBJ
ject the writer has in view. 1t is that
newspapers do not derive their accounts
Of crime from court proceedings. but
from original investigations OF their own.
AS a rule. the worst features of crime
have been dragged before the public long
before the trial occurs. so that the court
hearing Is an OLD story. It is only the
exceptional criminal trials that are re-
ported at length in the newspapers. The
great bulk Of the criminal news with
which the daily press is filled comes from
quite other sources than eourtrooms.
The truth is. that the public will not
be freed from its too great intimacy with
crime" until the newspapers are thor
oughly reformed. or until the public gets
tired Of reading of crimes. That the
publication Of criminal news is response
bic for a good deal Of crime must be
admitted. So. too. it is believed, are bill
boards portraying scenes Of violence.

tons representative Of burglary and MUIR

IMPROVING THE PUMPKIN.

Now that the season for planting the
fruitful seed IN the fertile soil has ar
rived, We would call upon The Washing
ton Herald 20 joint with US in a crusade
OF much more than passing moment. We
refer 10 the need of campaigning for
more enlightenment as TO the pie pump
kin Of commerce Too many there be
who imagine that any old pumpkin is
good enough for pie filling, and that all
that is necessary IS TO shove the seed
into the ground by The pressure Of the
ball Of the thumb and let Il go at that.
Such ignorance is not only appalling. but
1t is responsible in large measure for the
decadence Of the succulent pumpkin pie
The Washington Herald has been so va
liant in its defense OF the pumpkin pie
that We feel assured it will join with rs in
campaign having for its purpose the
spread OF enlightenment concerning the
basis OF the toothsome yellow pastry.
Care should be taken in the selection of
pumpkin seed, care should be exercised
in the selection Of soil. and care should
be exercised in cultivation Without all
this the pumpkin pie OF blessed memory
will be impossible. The old yellow pump
Kin that Is good cattle and hog feed is
not always good for pie purposes. The
overgrown, obese, and stringy pumpkin
that looks Ike a barrel painted yellow is
not good pie material. The smaller va
riety, the little fellows with smooth exte-
rior and solid interior, that are produced
by careful cultivation in rich soil. are the
ones needed Size is no criterion in pump
kins, though we admit size has some
thing to do with the finished pie product.
Unhappy the city man whose dwelling is
set so eramped that he cannot have a
hill OF two Of glorious pie pumpkins
growing thereon. and dOubly unfortunate
he who is so ignorant as to imagine that
any old pumpkin will make good pump
kin pies.
With the assistance OF tha pumpkin pie
editor OF The Washington Herald. we
hope to be able to start such campaign
as Will result In a more careful selection
of pumpkin seed, with a resultant crop of
pumpkin pies that will command a re-
turn to the toothsome dainty and a de-

deeoctions of French chefs and amateur
