Senator HaIe's Naval Bill

Senator Hale's bill ito increase the efficiency of the personnel of the navy and marine corps of the United States" is really a bill to protect the bureau system that has grown up in the navy. It proposes to do this chiefly by prohibiting the formation of general boards unless they are author ized by specific legislation. This is a raid upon the construction board and upon the general board of the navy, both appointed by the secretary of the navy. These general boards have in- terfered with the bureau system, and Senator Hale proposes to abolish them.
 The navy is confessedly free from graft, but the bureau system multiplies officials and is to some extent waste full, and it is charged that the bureaus do not coordinate, and that mistakes in construction have occurred. It is difficult to say what the truth is, but Senator Hale is prepared to show that the bureau system should stand until something better can be devised to take it's place. It is plain Senator Hale does not believe the charges that MT Reuterdahl has put in print, for he desires to perpetuate and even to strengthen the bureau system that has long conducted our naval affairs. The bureau system managed the navy dur ing the war with Spain, and it organ ized the Pacific fleet, and these two achievements are the finest in the re- cent history of the navy.

NELLIE OF THE SOB SQUAD

son writing, Thaw would be justified in asking the property clerk to let him have that gun back for a while
 The Sob Squad also needs few lec- tures4 on nature falSing. Miss Brinkley, of course, went far wide of the mark in calling Evelyn Nesbit "gnome" As pointed out gnomes are funny little men with long whiskers that work in mines. They are the guardians of mines, also. They have existed in folklore for many ages unchanged in character. Miss Brink ley may have meant a gnomide gnomide is a gnomes bride, represented as about one foot high and of supreme goodness and beauty. That's a shot from a rest at 800 yards and may miss the tar- get, of course. 1t is not likely that Miss Brinlkley ever heard of gnomide, and then again Evelyn Nesbit doesn't answer the description.
 Dorothy Dix is also to be informed that harpies are only of one sex. A male harpy is a thing as impossible as a male queen. When Dorothy Dix refers to "harpes of both sexes surrounding young MT Thaw she is as gravely in error as though she had referred to queens of both sexes fig uring in the history of Europe.
 It is long road yet, and there is really no occasion to cut all moorings at this time and sail boldly out into these un- known seas of folklore and mythology All the sobs, weeps and mysteries required can be compassed within the narrow bounds of yellow journalese. There must be no nature faking.

Robert z. Lee

Interest in the anniversary of Rob. ert E. Lees birth does not diminish, but rather increases, as the years pass by. The day is duly celebrated throughout the south, but the tributes to the memory of the illustrious chief tain come not alone from the States that formed the Confederacy. Many distinguished northern men vie with Southerners in praise of Lee, and among the finest articles of apprecia- tion are those which appear in the northern press.
 The south and the north alike devel- oped splendid military talent. On both sides of the bloody struggle were found intrepid warriors and high types of men, and the veterans of the lost cause and their sons now delight to honor the names of Grant and other heroes of the northern army. But the fortitude and repose of Lee in defeat, combined with his exalted virtues, his singularly symmetrical character, his genius as soldier, and his knightly bearing, whether in public or private life, make him distinctly ideal.
 History will know no greater name than that of Robert E. Lee, and in our schools and colleges this superb com mander may well be held up as per

Temporary Census Employees

The President demands that the forthcoming census be taken by enum- orators and supervisors selected under the merit or civil service system, and that the army of temporary clerks for the Census Bureau be selected in like manner. He goes on to assert that the census of 1900 was made by incompetent or careless appointees se- lected by the politicians. This i'm peachment of the 1900 enumeration is open to question, and there are some who doubt whether better temporary employees can be selected under the civil service rules than were selected otherwise in 1900. It may be that tenn porary appointments cannot be filled at all in the former way, for who would go to the trouble to take a civil service examination for the sake of becoming an enumerator of thirty days dura- tion?
 Between the practical difficulties in the way and the unwillingness of the politicians to surrender remaining plums, the President will doubtless en- counter trouble in his new campaign. He has not in the past stood unflinch- ingly by the civil service commission, and his new raid upon the politicians is a bit surprising.
 In providing for the filling of the census jobs, all of short duration, Con- gress would show good sense if instead of handing the temporary census pat ronage over to the Civil Service Com mission 1t would direct Director North to hold examinations in every State open to all, and that selections be made from his eligible list. The gen eral civil service examination is rigid and exacting, and it is indeed doubtful whether applicants would be forthcom- ing in all districts in which men would be needed when the gigantic count of S5,O00,000 people, more or less, is made in 1910.

Electric Railroad Movement

Interurban trolley lines are fast be- coming feature of every populous state. The construction in 1907 was $500 miles, and in 1906 it was 3695 miles. Today there are 10000 miles of trolley railway in the country. As a rule the lines are short, rarely ex- ceeding fifty miles, but when they are combined surprising results are seen. Sleeping cars ply in Ohio between Tol- edo and Cincinnati, and in Indianapolis the various lines are centered in a fine union station. One may now go from Philadelphia to Portland, Me, in troll ley cars.
 Every steam railroad must in sev. eral states establish trolley systems in order to maintain it's monopoly of travel and freight transportation, but strange as it may seem, the trolleys do not lessen the business of the rail- roads. The former become the feed CTS of the latter, and the steam rail roads do not consider trolley lines hurtful, and the most recent figures sustain this view of the situation.
 Thus far the south has not become the theatre of many interurban trolley lines, but the movement will be ex- tended to all states, and trolley cars will yet fit from city to city in this state. A line between Montgomery and Birmingham will not be delayed many more years, and in the long run this state will have more interurban trolley lines than it now has steam roads.

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews, in his weekly Wall street letter of Saturdays date, says
 The stock market has now enjoyed re- covery of from 10 to 20 points in the active shares and a still further advance in some of the specialties. As explained in our previous advices, this was the natural se- quence of improvement in the monetary situation and the uncovering of a large short interest. All panics have been fol- lowed by an advance of considerable dura- ton, setting in usually as soon as the disturbance to monetary conditions sub sides The period of recovery generally varies extending over several months and accompanied by more or less irregularity and occasionaI Iecessions. The present recovery has been exceedingly rapid and somewhat corresponds to the suddenness and severity of the panic itself. The fact that recuperation has heen so prompt and energetic demonstrates that the crisis re- vealed no unsoundness or grave disturb ance in general conditions. The panic was chiefly financial, and mainly due to the gross abuse of credit and too rapid transformation of capital from liquid into fixed form The storm which began in October has, however, immensely clarified the financial situation. Confidence is re- viving at a rapid rate; money is coming out of hoarding; currency Is returning in large volume from the interior; bank re- serves are rising with unexpected rapid ity and the whole tendency of existing forces is toward recuperation. The pa- tient Is still somewhat reduced by past excesses, but his constitution has not been impaired; strength is returning and the disease is being gradually conquered. The most encouraging feature is the grow ing ease in money and the very pro- nounced improvement in the credit stua- ton; the latter a very vital matter in commercial affairs.

influential senators. Old men are still leaders in all important matters, men like Aldrich, Hale, Allison, Daniel, Gull lom, Whyte and Frye, all over TO years old. Years and long service still have weight in the Senate, whatever the rule may be in the House. The 92 sen ators are destined to be led by elder statesmen in the future as in the past. Alabama's new senators are men of ample years, and one of them had served the country in the House 20 years. Alabama has not joined the new movement, and probably never will.

PRESIDENT FINLEYS VIEWS.
Believes Cordial Relations Between
 States and Railroads Possible.
Wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal
 President Finley of the South ern Railway company says passenger rate compromises in the various states are progressing satisfactorily that they contemplate advances in some cases and reductions in other cases. and that, while the compromises may involve some financial sacrifice by the com pany, it is not unlikely that the elas- ticity of the arrangements proposed will be productive of traffic. Further more, the Southern Railway company has reserved it's rights to all proper remedies if, after 12 months trial of the rates, they are found to be unre- munerative or confiscatory. He be- 1ieves the result will be to promote cordial relations between the state au- thoritses and the railroads.
 Regarding traffic conditions in the mistic. He is of the opinion that any change from this time on is likely to be favorable. The cotton mills in the south are largely located in the Pied mont region, traversed by the Southern railway, Nand the mills, while still in operation, have not yet, bought their quota of the present cotton crop. This traffic is, therefore, practically in re- serve. After 1t exhausts its own grain crop, the south is a large buyer in the west. Comparatively little of this grain had been purchased at the end of the year, and present indications point to a movement of grain by reason of the improved monetary conditions Grain is largely moved into the south on bills of lading issued to the order of ship pers. During the money panic the grain dealers were unable to get their drafts cashed by the banks which would only send forward the drafts and bills of lading for collection. This operated to prevent the usual move ment of grain. The improved monetary situation has changed these conditions and better movement is expected from now on In the territory east of the Mississippi river delta a large amount of fertilizer is annually used. This movement usually begins in January and continues until about the end of March, and while it may be slightly delayed this year, MT. Finley antici- pates that it will be as large as last year.
 It is MT. Finley's information that probably not less than 50 per cent of the iron production of the Pittsburg district is annually consumed by the railroads. The natural result, there fore, of an improvement in general business would be the improvement of the purchasing power of the roads, and consequently, an improvement of conditions in lumber and iron dis tricts.

fqe of Our Senators

Of late tendency has been devel- oped in various parts of the country to send to Washington young men even as Senator's Kentucky may be repre- sented by ex-Governor Beckham, who is 34 years old. Senator Bryan of Flor ida is but 31, and Senator Gore of Ok iahoma is 37. Guggenheim of Colorado and Dixon of Montana are 40, Owens of Oklahoma is AZ, and Borah of Idaho is 43. Nine of the sixteen new Sena- tors are less than 50 years old.
 After all, this new tendency will not be immediately beneficial, but the young senators of today may become after decade or two experienced and

MAUD ADAMS NEW PLAY

ed by the famed beauty of the Baron's daughter and in friendly rivalry to win her hand Unable to obtain the hos pitality of the place they plotted with the wise old Major Domo of the establish ment to return as testers and to revive the melancholy spirits of his mistress.
 So with trio of other fools, they responded to a proclamation and began a contest, which was to continue a month to obtain the coveted post in their lady loves household. And the household, meanwhile, was disrupted by the clam bring of the other retainers for their back pay.
 It was as Rene, disguised as Chicot, that Miss Adams appeared and sought to win Solange by well-turned phrases and wit, while Robert, masquerading as Narcissus, attempted to enthrall her by his beauty and physical grace. In delicate wrought scene, in which the testers apostrophised the night breezes Chicot won the Baron's choice.
 In the final act he also won Solanges love and, developing into Prince Boun- tiful, restores the fallen fortunes of the house of Montpre.
 This is the slight theme upon which "The testers" is built and it will be seen to contain not a very great amount of originality or strength. Its compensa- tions lie wholly in the delicacy of the text and in the general neatness with which the piece is put together.
 A vein of humor, springing from the antics of the dsgruntled retainers, runs throughout the play and it finds it's best expression in Vulcano, fiery, swaggering Italian mercenary, adroitly played by Gustav von Seyfferlitz. who, next to Miss Adams, captured the favor of the au- dience. Fred Tyler impersonated the Baron with a good deal of native dig nifty and Miss Consuelo Bailey, as So- lange, the daughter, gave the character an annoying insipidity, but provided the needed foil for Miss Adams. The rival lover was gracefully acted by William Sewers.
 That fine actress, Miss Mathilda Co., trelly, appeared as the servant Nicole, promoted to the post of duenna, and gave an amusing characterization. The hu- nor of the other retainers was inclined to be thin.
 Miss Adams is doing well to vary her repertoire, and her new boys role of Chicot is in sharp contrast to all her other characters. But "The Jesters'' is too light to justify a prophecy of very great success.

 It is the presence of Miss Adams in the delicate web of romantic fancy which Miguel Zarnacois has spun in ''The Jesterss that will lend her new play it's chief attraction for, though it has been acted in Paris by Sarah Bernhardt and is now translated into excellent metrical English by John Raphael, it proved st it's first representation here to lack any very decided invention or dramatic force.
 Graceful it surely is and there are moments in it's imagery and romantic flights when it gives evidence of decid- ed poetic inspiration, but it is wofully fragile and 1t lacks the background of deep, compelling interest.
 As usual, Miss Adams blinded her de- voices to every weakness of the fabric with which she was surrounded. In her boys dress-for the third time she ap- pears as youth-she was captivating to the eye and electrical in the manner in which she projected her elfn person. ality across the footlights The recalls were many and enthusiastic. Seven times the curtain was lifted after the first act; 19 times it rose after the second. But from that point interest began to lose it's keen edge and the encores gradually dwindled
 No efforts were spared to give the play setting in harmony with it's poetic and romantic flavor The scenes represented the halls and parapets of a crumblfng old feudal castle of the 16th century. The cast was generally excellent, all though the actors. as usual, found a stumbling block in the rhymed and blank verse, and their delivery often declined to sing song monotony.
 In this dipalidated old ruin dwelt the Baron de Montpre, an impoverished mo- bleman; his daughter, Solange, and his unpaid retainers, all struggling against penury to keep up appearances of their former prestige.
 To the castle of Montpre came two mo- ble youths, disguised as peddlers, attract
