The Sutton Case.

II is undeniably desirable that the pro-
ceedings in the court OF inquiry which IS
to sit next Monday at Annapolis to in
vestgate the circumstances attending the
death of Lieut.. Sutton should be pub
lished, as has been proposed. This case
has attracted wide attention. The people
of the country are interested. not merely
in the circumstances of Lieut.. Sutton's
death, but in the reasons explanatory Of
the delay I'm bringing the matter to the
point of searching examination and q full
ascertainment Of the facts. The gravest
doubt of the sufficiency Of the first report
has been created and now it Is expected
that no efforts will be spared to bring
the truth to light and determine whether
Lieut.. Sutton was a suicide or was the
victim of foul play. This Is due not
merely TO the bereaved mother of the
young man. who has SO courageously
pressed her case, but to the naval or
ganization. 1t would be highly unfortu-
nate if the impression were spread tha,
there has been concealment Of the truth
or that a crime has been committed a,
Annapolis which the authorities have not
been willing to unravel. OF the gooo
faith of the naval officials in this present
effort to ascertain the truth there car
be no question. and the confidence Of the
public will be strengthened by a decision
to conduct the inquiry with open doors.

Walking.

Edward Payson Weston, at the age OF
seventy years, has tramped across the
country from New York to San Fran
cisco, a distance Of 1886 miles, in
1O5 days. an average of a fraction
more than 81 miles a day. A per-
formance of this kind Is calculated
to stimulate the interest of the
younger men of this country in pedes-
trianism. Weston's performance in it
self Is of course OF no intrinsic value. In
these days Of trolley cars, steam cars and
automobiles, not to mention airships, It
is of no particular importance to demon
strate that q man is capable Of tramping
from ocean to ocean in three months and
rived from a revival Of interest In the
aboriginal and natural means Of locomo-
ton. seriously neglected during late years.
Walking as a method of transport is un-
scientific and uneconomical unless one
lacks the price OF a railroad ticket. But
walking as a means of maintaining health
Is q good investment. Many a man, who
has not lost the concept that his legs
are intended to carry him about. has kept
himself In health by occasional trips
across country. But those who walk for
health and pleasure as a rule do not set
out for an objective point with a schedule
arranged in advance. The ideal pedestrian
who is seeking health and enjoyment is a
type of the popular song-he does not
know where he Is going, but he Is on his
way. One Of the most delightful forms

From the Portland (Oreg) Telegram.

cially pronounced against the high
school "frats" The action was taken
on the ground that the spirit OF the
frat" was opposed to the spirit Of de-
mocracy in the schools This action
represents the national organizations
Of the school teachers Of the United
states. 1t may, therefore. be taken for
granted that it represents the collective
wisdom as well as the collective ex-
perience Of the teachers from all parts
Of the United States. It Is significant
that the action taken was unanimous.
and that the resolution was adopted
even without debate; The result here
expressed is the verdict Of the general
public in all parts of the country. The
greatest danger from the "frats" is
that which comes from the establish
ment, through their agency, of social
tests in the schools. The frat" mem.
Der has arrogated to himself special
social distinctions which some teachers
have been foolish enough to allow and

A Tariff Veto,

There Is very little talk about a tarin
veto, and there seems small warrant lot
any, A veto would produce such an eA-
traordinary situation, both for the repuo-
licans and the country. that all pressure
will be brought to bear to prevent mat
ters taking that shape.
The republican plight is materially dit-
ferent from that OF the democrats IN
1894 At that time the democrats hao
only the tariff in hand. They had dis
posed OF the money question-not salts
factorily, it is true, to the majority OF
the party, but still had disposed OF It,
BY q combination of gold democrats ana
republicans, the last prop had been
knocked from under silver, and the tariff
alone remained.
Had Mr.. Cleveland vetoed the German
Wilson bill he would have saved the
tariff issue to his party, and the con-
gressiOnal elections OF that year "oulo
have turned on the tariff. 1t is not likely
that he would have saved the day at the
polls, because the confession OF tar1n
failure. added to the divisions tnat nao
been produced by the silver ISSUE "ouio
have told heavily against the democracy
on election day. But two years later-in
the presidential contest-the tarin Wouio
still have been the leading factor, placing
good material in Mr.. Clevelands 8 clutches
for use against free silver.
The republicans have moved In a oif-
ferent way. Instead of putting the tarln
last on their program they have put ~
first. Several important measures are to
follow the tariff, and are part OF the
republican promise to the country. Ex-
pectation is that they will be brought for
ward next winter. Certainly the currency
question is now on the card for action at
that time.
Now IL the tariff should go over on q
veto to the regular session. what chance
would there be for any other question
then outside of the supply bills? And
what chance would there be for an agree
ment on the tariff so soon after dis
agreement so stubborn as to have brought
the President into action with veto?
Should we not see the angriest Of all
tariff controversies result, with the re-
publican party irreparably injured, and
powerless to put on the books any OF the
legislation that was promised last year
And failure in Congress would mean fail
ure in November of next year, with the
democrats succeeding to control Of the
House for the first time in fifteen years
and on the eve of a presidential contest.
A veto is not out of the question, but 1t
is very improbable. The republican lead
ers are veterans. and know the value Of
union and how in a pinch to hold the
party together.
