Rather TO old Buckbarrow's disgust, he
had decided to go into the church. He
was drawn toward that profession less
BY any strong religious bias than by
the dramatic instinct which he had in
herited from his mother. The emotional.

the erusty old bachelor who ran IL hadn't

fancy to Fabian, who was at the fas-
cinating age OF three. When no one was
looking. he would fOndle the pretty child,
and even in the presence of others was
only bluff In the doggy fashion which
children understand So that a great
friendship grew up between the two.
It took Mrs. Dare eighteen months 10
die. and then old Buckbarrow adopted
the boy. Having always disliked his own
name, he allowed him TO be called Fabian

somewhere in the middle, where IL would
never be noticed except by lawyers.

own a pub. He would have been every

thousand he wanted to make as in the
fifty thousand he did make. For the
benefit Of some small cog-wheel in the

he became the worried proprietor OF

a nuisance to those who do not get Up

with them that means something.
Children have the early rising habit
because they retire early. The excep-
tions keep hours out OF all proportion to
their years. and sometimes are difficult
10 persuade to the breakfast table while
the meal is at It's best. IN a family
where the children are supposed to retire

to sleep before O. and his mother once
left him to make his morning toilet un-
disturbed. and Il was afternoon before he
was presentable. He had missed break
fast and just caught luncheon by neg
lecting the finishing touches.
Nobody believes, nowadays. that any
special good comes from early rising.
Long lives fall TO many man or woman
who were sluggards in both youth and
middle life The workers whom business
calls from bed in the wee, small hours OF
the morning are not such specimens OF
health and strong nerves as TO make US
wish TO follow in their footsteps. Per
sonally, I find Ii easier to sit up all night
than to get up early in the morning. and
my retiring hour has nothing 20 do with il.
Sometimes I think that sleep is largely
"a matter of habit have worked nights
and slept days. and after the habits were
fixed have changed them by working
through the day like other Christians. A
little experience was all / needed in the
transition. In cases OF need I can get
up At any hour. but If it is early I do
not feel real well at any part Of the day.
The afternoon nap is impossible TO ex-
tremelv active women, but I have seen
scores of others converted 10 II by persis-
tent effort. If the sleep supply is cur
tailed By amusement or work, a nap in
the day is the only rational method Of
repairing the loss. There is such a thing
as too much sleep, and If early retiring
hours are in order the time for leaving
bed should be arranged to allow no more
than eight hours OF healthy slumber.
I do not like to hear anybody confess
to sleeplessness. It means disesse some
where. Fancy lying IN bed, wide awake,
and finding the noise Of the miikman's
wagon almost unbearable. I know a
case OF that kind. and the dispenser of the
white fluid was mortally offended at a re-
quest 10 use rubber tires and wrap the
bottles TO avoid danger and noise of hit
ting together. No amount of money can
compensate such a wretched sleeper for
hts loss. A bad feature OF the case is
the mans inability to make it up by day

seems TO be disease proof since ne takes
no sickness through exposure

Probe the Paving scandal.

It Is q fact not to be gainsaid that a
scandal confronts the District Commits
sioners-an ugly scandal that viii not
down.
To attempt 10 minimize II, or gloss 1t
over. would be an nl-advised, short
sighted policy that could not possibly
succeed, and the Commissioners should
use the probe heroicaily and efectuaIly
until all the facts are brought to the sur
face.
That foundation exists for the Brennan
charges affecting the engineering depart
ment is all too apparent. The preliml-
nary evidence is conclusive as to ir-
regularities in street-paving contracts.

than justihes the investigation which has
been somewhat tardily and reluctantly
entered upon.
It may be true. as Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Markham AYERS, that it is
not necessarily dishonest or dishonor-
able" on the part OF a subordinate Off
cial having supervision Of public work
10 accept a substantial cash gift from a
contractor on such work; it may be. in
the estimation of Capt Markham. an al
together virtuous transaction, provided
it be not concealed from his superiors.
but the public will be slow 10 accept his
opinion on that point
So remarkable a code OF official ethics
would astound even Philadelphia or New
York. and we cannot bring ourselves to
believe that it prevails generally at cur
District Building. It Is ineoneeivabIe-
impossible. The Commissioners them
selves disavowed and repudiated that
code when they considerably asked for
the resignation of the subordinate Off
cial implicated in the transaction.
No less scandalous was the episode OF
delaying the opening of bids for impor-
tant work. few weeks ago. until a con-
tractor who had neglected to bid could
be notified and get In his bid-an episode
rendered doubly scandalous and sus-
picious by the sequel, which showed that
the tardy contractor thus notified had
underbid all competitors by a margin OF
s., and thus secured the contract. Favor
itism! The word is too mild to fit the
case.
The charges do not touch the in
tegrity Of the Commissioners. But al.
important branch Of the engineering de-
partment is under cloud, and is not to
be vindieated by anything that can DOS
sibly be said or done by way Of excusine
or extenuating the two transactions here
referred to and which are undenied and
definitely established. a thorough house
cleaning is imperativeIy necessary.
That the Commissioners intend to go to
the bottom of the discreditable scandal
We do not for moment doubt but we
do venture TO suggest that the investiga-
ton will take on a better and more re-
assuring aspect II & spirit Of less hos
tility toward the maker of the charges

business way in the past from question

day rendering public service in cour-
ageously exposing a condition of affairs
that ought to be exposed.

WORK FOR THE GOVERNORS.
Formation OF Intelligent Public
Opinion Their Chief Function.

From the New York Times.
The governors have done well In ap-
pointing committee of their own num-
Der 70 arrange a time and place for the
meeting next year and to prepare a. pro-
gramme Of subjects for discussion. The
meeting should be. and doubtless will be.
held not at the National Capital. but at
some State capital There such matters
as marriage and divorce. laws for the
regulation OF corporations, of insurance
and of extradition may be discussed with
a view TO a meeting Of minds, to the end
that something ike uniformity may pre-
vail in the recommendation made in gov
ernors' messages 10 the respective leg
lslatures- This is the plan proposed BY
Mr. Jordan. which has widely commended
Itself TO the approval Of the governors in
session at Washington, TO the press. and
TO the public
In the deliberations Of the proposed
House Of Governors neither the execu-
tive nor any other branch Of the Fed
eral government should have any par
ticipation. The constitutional prohibition
OF agreements and compacts between the
States without the consent OF Congress
does not apply. No agreement, no con-
tract is contemplated. The governors
will simply take counsel one with an
other. The majority cannot bind the mi
nority; manifestly. the governors them
selves cannot pledge their States to any
action, even though it be unanimously
advised. The plan would simply create a
piece OF machinery TO promote the forma-
ton of intelligent public opinion that
would tend 10 uniformity Of State legisla-
tloH .non subjects as TO which the inter-
ests and the welfare OF the whole people
