No Public Baths Here.

Even when the public bathing beach is
opened this city will seriously lack facili-
ties. The small boys Of Washington can
not all be accommodated there. even if a
strict time limit Is placed upon those who
go to the beach. 1t is difficult of access.
and save for the possible improvements
effected by the changes now In progress
it is not particularly inviting.
AS The Star suggested the other day,
this city should be ideally equipped with
public baths in the interest of health and
for the protection of life. 1t has an
unusual extent of water front, and at q
comparatively small expenditure public
baths could be established at frequent in
rervals on the waters edge sufficient to
accommodate thousands daily.
Committees are at work trying to edu-
cate the poorer classes out OF their in
sanitary ways OF living in the hope Of
combating the diseases that are common
in the habitations of comparative poverty
Yet here In Washington there Is virtually
no means Of public bathing. There are
accommodations for very few men and
boys, and none for women. In this par
ticular Washington Is shamefully behind
the times, and II Congress does not take
cognizance Of this matter the capital will
suffer seriously in health.

and springs are abundant. The owners
OF the land are, as a rule, good natured,
but it is not necessary to trespass upon
private property in order to give picnic
party an ideal place OF settlement. Re-
sort parks and public parks are within
easy reach where the family can be made
comfortable.
The chief benefit derived from going on
picnic is the change of scene. 1t may
be that there is discomfort in sitting on
the hard ground and eating in an unnat-
ural posture and defending ones food
from the encroachments of inquisitive in
sects. Possibly one will be positively dis
commoded by the roots and rocks and
sand and sunburn and be kept in fer
ment Of apprehension about poison Ivy
and snakes and all that sort of thing.
But these are negligible handicaps. They
do not overbalance the advantages gained
from departure from routine.
Sometimes a woman who has been con-
scientiously managing her household
throughout the week will find in the all
day picnic in the woods a refreshing
change. The man who has been tied to
desk for six days may need precisely
this sort of readjustment. The children
can stand all the picnicking that can be
given them. They cannot be taken into
the woods and fields too often for their
own good Even If they do stub their
toes and step on thorns and get their
clothes wet they derive far more physical
advantage than they would out OF day
spent at home.

Missing Men.

Developments in the Maryland murder
case have followed SO rapidly that it Is
impossible to know when the mystery has
been fully solved The case, which mas
peculiarly unpleasant features in its dis
closures Of misconduct, strikingly Illus
trates the old doctrine Of the police that
one crime often uncovers another, and
points to the ease with which men can
conceal themselves and lose Identity for
a time In these days. When Mrs. Wood
ills body was first discovered the report
circulated that she had been killed by a
man named Roberts, a magazine writer.
and it was as Roberts that the man was
sought. 1t was not until after he had
.--lled himself while being pursued by a
posse that evidence was found that ne
was in reality Robert l.. Eastman, for
merly a broker in New York. He had
become involved in difficulties and had
been indicted for a transgression of the
laws, but had fled the jurisdiction while
under bond. Since December no trace
had been found of him, and even his
wife, living in New York city, had no
clew to his whereabouts. During all that
time he had been living in a bungalow
on the Choptank river near the Chesa-
peake bay in Maryland, posing as writer
and entertaining Baltimore and Annapolis
friends, making acquaintances In the
neighhorhood. and apparently taking no
precautions to avoid attracting attention.
He appeared to rely Tor concealment
upon the change of his name. and this
measure was effective uuntil a tragedy
occurred and he took his own life to
avoid capture. Probably he was success
tul in avoiding detection largely because
he appeared to make no attempt to
avoid meeting people and led an appar-
emily normal life. Had he been a recluse.
surrounding himself with mystery. 1t is
quite possible that he would have become
an object of suspicion and identifed. 1t
would be interesting to know how many
OF the men who are now fugitives from
justice or borne on the police records as

accused Of crime are at this moment

Picnlcs.

At this time of the year 1t is a good
thing to break away from house and
city and get out into the open, into the
woods-anywhere away from payements
and sidewalks-but not too far away from
street cars. In short, this Is the ideal
season for family picnics those occasions
OF extreme JOY to all the youngsters and
certain pleasurable responsibility for
the elders and a relaxation and refresh
ment for all
One OF the advantages of a family pic
mic is that IL can be organized on short
notice. 1t Is true, OF course, that some
housewives would regard ii as contrary TO
the fundamental law OF nature To get I'D
a picnic without at least two days for
preparation. But the modern family pic
mic Is a simpler, more easily arranged
affair. The grocery stores supply a
great variety of foodstuffs suitable for
picnic use and easy to transport. At
small cost and with little fuss bounte-
Gus picnic basket can be assembled and
the family started of into the country.
There are some ideal picnic grounds
around Washington. In almost any direc-
ton one car fare will carry the pleasure
Seeker to q place OF semi-secluslon and
sylvan beauty. This country Is we'll

THE LEGEND OF The DEGREE.

iAfter Y. K.)
This is the sorrovful story.
Told on the evening breeze.
When the mlllionaires sit together.
Comparing their LII. DIS.
I'VE worked from our early boyhocd
And We made Industries hum,
Till at last We found time for breathing
And could watch the dollars come.
Then came the college masters
And captured us. one and all,
Though most OF Us spoke not Latin.
And our knowledge OF grammar was small.
They put us In mother huhbards
And caps like mortar boa rds, 100,
And said: Now warrh us. rich men,
And see what We do to you.'
"And they led us In groups and singly,
And led US by twos and three.
And handed Us, willynilly,
collection OF high degrees.
And now we have titles In plenty
Attached to each plain old name,
And to pay, we must tap the check book,
For that Is the rule Of the game"
This is the horrible story,
Told on the evening breeze,
When the mtliionaires sit together
Comparing their LII DIS.

Misguided Missionaries.

The New York Chinatown murder, so
shocking In its details as now they are
being gradually disclosed, and so repel-
lent In its general features bearing upon
the relations of the young missionaries
IN the slums and the under world. directs
attention to the fact that the charitable
impulse often leads into msdirected chan
nels There is an abundance of work in
every city for the man or woman who
seeks to ameliorate conditions and to
lead people into better ways of living
The modern tendency to organize chari-
ties and prevent waste interposes no bar
TO the personal efforts OF those who wish
TO enlist In this cause. There are homes
where Ignorance Of the commonest re-
quirements OF decent living is sapping the
moral and physical vitality. There are
places where good cheer is needed, where
the occasional helping hand is required.
One seldom needs to look far from home
to find an inviting field for true mission
ary labor.
This crime in New York should not tend
TO discourage the effort to enlighten the
Chinese living in this country, or to as
sist them morally. But it must be re-
membered that this is a dangerous and
dtscouraging work. 1t calls for tact
and discretion and for peculiar acquaint-
an1e with the Chinese temperament. The
CL.namen have through many genera
tions and centuries acquired an inscruta-
BILE poise. 1t is virtually impossible for
occidentals to know their thoughts or
even to understand their processes of
reasoning. They are Of race apart, dis
tinct and different.
The Christian workers in a large city
will sometimes 30 to an extent which
Is not justified upon a calm examination
of the conditions. The peculiar, undetin-
able fascination of the unknown and
the unguessable draws many into this
dangerous field. The young girl in this
case seems TO have been unfortunate in
the fact that she was not restrained by
family influences, her own mother urging
her into the Chinatown work and even
encouraging her to receive the attentions
OF Cinnamon for her affections Thus
this situation is an abnormal one and
cannot be regarded as typical. The case,
however. teaches its impressive lesson In
the need of greater circumspection in all
the relations between the west and the
east.

The Next Regular Session.

VIII this extra session shorten the first
regular session of the SiXty-first Con-
gress? Under ordinary circumstances 1t
might. But circumstances are not ordi-
nary. With the tariff out of the way-if
it is satisfactorily disposed of at this
session-there will still be abundant busi-
ness for congressional hands TO DO.
For instance. there is the question of
currency reform, second In Importance
and difficulty only to that of the tariff
itself. This is to come up next winter.
AS yet no bill has been agreed upon.
Public sentiment is very much divided.
The east talks In one strain, and the west
in another. AS usual. the west is suspi-
c'ous OF any financial plan favored by
the east. In all money matters, the east
spells Wall street to the west. Here
alone Is text which may call out the
orators In Congress In as great force as
the tariff has just marshaied them.
Then We are to hear from both parties
a good deal about economy. The repub-
licans. 1t is said. will present estimates
much below recent figures, and, OF course,
the democrats will move that even they
be reduced. All departments of the gov
ernment will figure in the discussion, and
We may expect it to be protracted
And then is 1t at all certain that the
tariff, although with new law on the
books, will not again, in a debatable
form, be brought forward? Much will
depend on the operations of the new
law. If it starts well, the democrats may
not find 1t topic then to their taste.
But II the early results are vulnerable;
If the country has not taken kindly to
the new schedules, or the law as a rev.
enue producer has disappointed expecta-
tons, then. inevitably, the democrats will
return TO the subject and devote time to
It, 1t will be both human nature and
good politics for them to capitalize the
failure to the utmost degree possible
And over all will preside considerat ons
Affecting the approaching congressional
campaign, which will take place In No
vembar of next year. The work Of the
session will enter into the fight for con-
troll of the next House, and both parties
VIII play for advantage in the shaping
of the record. A long first session is sell
dom to the advantage of the party in
control; and it is always in the power of
the minority. and particularly in the
Senate, to protract the session for polit-
ical purposes.
On every account, therefore It is i'm
possible now to forecast the length Of
the next regular SESSION. 1t Is likelier
to be long than short. but how long de-
pends upon things which at this time
are either only half shaped or have taken
On no shape at all.

PEARY and The POLE.

From the Springfield Union
Starting report on a day like yes
terday that Peary had reached the nortn
pole was just like piling on the misery.
From the Scranton Tribune.
1t is now believed that Peary has
reached the north pole. But what's the
use. unless he can return and tell US
about 1t?
From the Charleston News aud Courier.
If Peary's friends are correct In their
belief that he has now reached the POLE
our advice would be that he stay there
for the present.
From the Buffalo News.
Peary must have found the pole and
tagged it by this time. Even a messen-
ger boy could make the distance from
the Roosevelt to the pole in ten months.
From the Scranton Truth
It is rumored that Peary has found
the north pole. 1t might be just as
well to walt for confirmation Of this
rumor before we celebrate.
From the Detroit Journal.
The argument is positively unanswer-
able. Commander Peary has been gone
just long enough in the Roosevelt to
have reached the pole.

Pledging the Men for Suffrage.

New York suffrasettes have at last
pitched their campaign In the key Of
practical business. They realize that In
order to win the fight for equal suffrage
they must enlist the sympathy and CO.
operation OF the men. The men have the
votes necessary to grant the franchise to
women. The syllogism ia simple. The
conclusion Is direct. In order to get the
votes they must get the men. Inasmuch
as many Of the fair advocates Of woman
suffrage are unmarried. and. of course, all
are attractive. the logical expedient Is
obvious. That the reasoning powers Of
the suffragettes of the metropolis are
not impaired Is shown by the fact that

False Public-Building Economy.

The action of the House and Senate con-
ferees in striking out from the census bill
the provision for a new building for that
bureau is another instance Of the penny
wise -pound-fooish policy of economy
which ordinarily prevails at the Capitol
In the matter Of providing quarters for
the government Offices. The census bu-
reau is now a permanent feature OF the
government service. Between the decen-
nial enumerations 1t Is engaged In an i'm
portant work of collecting and analyzing
statistics. 1t has for some years been
inadequately housed In a rented building.
which the bill proposed to replace with
public-owned structure Of adequate size
and approximately in keeping with the
general scheme Of official constructions in
Washington. The passage of this appro-
priation would have been genuine econ
omy in cutting off a large rental and
placing the government In possession of
it's own building, in which the work could
be done at an advantage.
Congress has been chronically indis-
posed. for years to fit the government out
with full equipment of buildings. One
Secretary after another has Appealed
through his annual reports and estimates
for new quarters, not alone for the ac-
commodation Of bureaus that are housed
outside of the parent buildings. but for
departmental buildings themselves Moth
ing could be more wasteful than the proc
esses In this respect The local map is
dotted with privately owned buildings
that are rented to the government for
sums which IN the aggregate represent
an annual interest on far more than
enough money to provide the public
service with all it's necessary equipment
on a proper scale.
1t IS true that the government Is not
in abundant funds and that economy
must be practced this year In order to
trim the outgo approximately to the in
come. But 1t is also true that the surest
economy is to stop these wasting rentals
for inadequate quarters. Furthermore. II
Is to be remembered that the work OF
erecting q new government building is q
matter of several years, and that even il
Congress were next week to pass an ON
.nibus bill authorizing the construction OF
every one of the ten or dozen struc-
lures urgently needed for the government
service the cost would be SO distributed
over half a decade at least tnat the pres
ent strIngency of the Treasury Depart
tory before the expenditure OF the last
dollar. Indeed, II the projected tariff and
corporation tax measures raise the reve-
nue. that il expected there will be an
abundance of money for such necessary
works as public building construction
within the next few years.
