prejudiced person? Was Mr.. Sullivan
likely to be SO careless as to leave Ire
land out? Look at the figures. Let the
power responsible for Ireland look at
them. If wages are only so cents a day
in Ireland four hundred and odd years
after the discovery of America, but high
enough in America to enable an indus
trious and frugal man to become a mill
lionaire, should not the Columbus wage
scale be extended to Ireland? And was it
not Mr.. Sullivan's sly purpose in this way
to call the attention of the British gov
ernment to the subject? And is it not
his desire that every man in Ireland shall
have chance to become millionaire?
The point was neatly made, and strictly
within parliamentary lines.
But why another asks, did not Mr..
Sullivan state the exact amount of his
own possessions? That would have shown
more forcibly the difference between the
wage scale In Ireland and the Columbus
scale in New York" That would also
have shown Mr. Sullivan to be a boaster.
1t would likewise have given a pointer to
the assessor and the tax gatherer which
those two officials are expected to obtain
elsewhere. Mr.. Sullivan, as everybody
knows. is a rich man, and owes 1t all, as
he frankly admits. to the discovery of
America. He left the matter in precisely
the proper shape for his reputation for
modesty and good taste.
The more it is examined the more ad-
mirable the speech appears 1t is short,
crisp. clear, and truly eloquent 1t is a
credit to both the eulogist and the eulo-
gized; and it is going to be difficult for
future generations to believe that in this
day of light and fair play, when the
square deal is at once a national demand
and national boast, the senate of the
great state Of New York sent, without
ceremony, Mr.. Sullivan's bill, and practi-
caly his moving appeal for it, to the
boneyard.

Penal Reform LEGISLATION.

One Of the most important pieces of
local legislation for years Is that en-
braced in the District appropriation bill
as il comes from the conference proVid-
ing for the purchase Of lands for new
reformatory and workhouse to be located
near at hand, in accordance with the rec
concentrations of the penal commission
recently submitted to Congress. BY thus
starting in a practical manner the work
necessary to accommodate decently and
in accordance with the best penological
principles the lawbreakers in the Dis
trict, Congress has in effect approved
that report, and 1t is fair assumption
that it will follow up its enactment by
ultimately adopting the correlative prop
ositions for the introduction here Of the
penal and probation systems. With the
money in hand for the purchase of these
tracts of land the District will probably
be ready in the course OF few months
for further appropriations for the erection
of suitable buildings on these tracts. The
penal commission recommended that the
prisoners be utilized for the clearing up
of the land to the end that this employ
ment might be of a wholesome character.
Emphasis was laid upon the desirability
or securing WHO areas, 10 De Drought 10

In short, the entire proposition of the
penal commission is to make the men
taken in custody for their misdeeds work

be possible to erect and equip the two
establishments at comparatively small
cost to the District. while at the same
time prisoners might be earning wages

The OFFICE SEEKERS.

From the Savannah News.
If the Taft inaugural committee wishes
to produce a really tremendous parade
on March let it invite all of the office
seekers to visit Washington and march
in line. The string of them would stretch
from Havre de Grace to Arlington.
From the Birmingham News.
There will be some thirty thousand
people in the inaugural parade The
question naturally suggests itself how
many of them would be willing to be
permanent patriots on the public pay
roll.
From the Hartford Journal Courier
A week from today will witness the
Inauguration of a Yale man as President
of the United States. No worry after
that. The sons of Eli will come into

The PANIC THAT ROOSEVELT CAUSED.
In the forests Africanic, there's a really dread

In the forests Africanic. there's a really dread
full panic
'Mong the beasts and birds and snakes aud
reptiles rare,
For frightful rumor rang. worse than any
boomerang,
That a rosyveld was quickly coming there.
Said the lion bold. What is il that will make
US all a visit?
Is it snake or beast or creature Of the air."
Answered back a gray old monkey, who was
really not donkey.
"Why. a rosyvelds creature very wild
And il has a pair of eyes of a most tremen-
dous size
And a nose that doesn't look so very mild;
And not very far beneath is frightfu set OF
teeth
That can hurt a creature worse than any trap.
And the damage they've been doing, Oh the
octopus achieving,
Proves a rosyveld's wild. ferocious chap!''
In the forests Africanic there's really dreadful
panic,
In the jungle and the river and the air.
And they're hurrying away and they're sour
rying away.
For they dread the frightful thing that's COM
ing there.
Said the tiger with smile, II will hide myself
Il while
In a very safe and distant Jungle lair
For 1 think there is more danger in this quite
ferocious stranger
Than there is in any other beast or man.
For rosyveld has eyes of most tremendous
size.
And his teeth are built upon din'rent plan"
Then the tiger skunk away, and the beasts in
deep dismay
Said the OWL That tigers quaking proves he
isn't nature faking.''
So the beasts to farthest junsles all did run.

The CUT In STEEL.

From the Hartford Evening Post.
The assurance from President Gary
that the steel trust does not contemplate
a cut in wages to balance the cut in
steel prices is gratifying to the fellows

From the Chicago Record Herald
After this cruel steel war is ended it
will be found that the same old crowd
raked in the usual profits
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Now is the time to lay in your summer
supply of steel.
From the st. Louis Republic
The price of steel rails will not be
reduced. but, of course, it's the merest
accident that the five connecting manu-
facturers of them all charge the came
price.
From the indianapolis Star.
Inasmuch as the same men who own
the railroads also to large extent own
the steel trust, any variation in the price
of steel rails becomes something of an
academic question.
From the Chicago Evening Post
Steel may be going down. but that New
York police magistrate who refused to
accept large block of it as bail seems
to be a bit too scary.

Harmful Marathon Racing.

With characteristic impetuosity athletes
have taken up Marathon racing in a
manner to promise numerous physical
breakdowns before the sporting season of
1909 Is well under way. In nearly every
city of this country these races have been
run. both indoors and out of doors, with
the entrance lists open to all comers and
with practically no precautions to confine
competition, to the well trained, fit men.
Mere boys have joined the ranks of the
runners, many of them dropping out after
the first few miles utterly exhausted The
percentage Of those finishing the races has
been necessarily small, for the ajority
have participated without any real pre-
liminary practice. Only the physicians
who have been called in to attend 10 indi-
viduals can tell how great has been the
harm done by this promiscuous, incon-
siderate racing.
1t would have been far better II the
directors of athletic clubs had interposed
an effective obstacle in the way of the
ambitious youths seeking entrance into
these races. 1t would indeed have been
better if most Of the races had not been
undertaken at all. The race itself, over
the classical distance of twenty-siX miles
and 4 fraction, is one that can be run
safely by comparatively few people. Even
the well trained athlete may break Gown
under the long strain upon the heart and
muscles. Fora youth with few months
of gymnasium practice, including occa-
sional trots around an indoor track, to set
out In midwinter in light running clothes
to cover the Marathon distance is the
height of folly.

The Pistol Evil.

Objection is raised to the enactment of
more rigid regulation of the pistol traf-
fic that the prohibition of the sale of such
weapons in this District save under care
full restriction would chiefly result in
driving pistol buyers into Maryland and
Virginia for the goods and the stimula-
ton of the mail-order business in this
line. 1t is true that a Washingtonian
who, under the proposed law. could not
obtain pistol here might procure one in
Alexandria or Baltimore without diff
Guilty and at the slight additional cost of
railway fare. Or he might purchase one
of the implements of death so freely ad-
vertised in the magazines, the manufac-
turers of which undertake to deliver b.
mail or express. The traffic will continue.
to some extent. until it is made the sub
ject Of interstate regulation.
But "a law such as that which Repre-
sentative Sims proposes will at least shut
off one of the most prolific sources of
trouble, the local shop where man who
thinks he needs gun in q hurry can be
accommodated without delay or question.
The intoxicated man who has maudlin
sense of wrong cannot thus handily arm
himself. The infuriatcd man who seeks
to revenge himself, from whatever mo-
tive, may not, under such d law, as now
rush into d convenient establishment and
for small sum obtain the means of de-
struction. The boys will not be lured
into obtaining possession of pistols SO
freely as at present. If the angry or
jealous man must so to another city for
his gun or wait for the post or express
to bring it to him, he may abandon his
intention. The murderous motive that
will last long enough to overcome the
difficulty and delays of the traffic under
the proposed system will probably be
satisfied anyhow, whatever the law may
be, however rigidly the selling of pistols
is controlled.
What is needed today is safeguard
against hasty, thoughtless pistol buying.
1t is of small consequence whether the
weapon is procured for a criminal mo-
tive or not. The mere fact of possession
is a danger, and the habit of carrying
the weapon on the person is the cause of
many unprecedented tragedies, some of
them crimes, some accidents. 1t is per-
fectly plain that if people do not carry
pistols they will not shoot others, and
so far as the law can go it should render
it as difficult as possible for the average
man to obtain the means of taking life.

CONGRESS and Its Doings.

A remark made by Judge Taft in d
speech in New York the other night has
led to many newspaper pleasantries at
the expense of the Congressional Record.
Who reads that publication? The ques-
ton is put in the scornful spirit of the
one put by Sydney Smith years ago:
''Who reads an American book?"
1t is suggested that as the Record is
neglected the public should be forced to
read it. Much good matter, it is asserted,
Is lost in its pages. The business of
Congress is important. and all the
details of it's transaction should be fol-
lowed by the constituents of the men,
bers of that body.
But this leaves out of the calculation
the fact that the business of Congress
is excellently reported day by Cay for
the press, and finds a place according
to its interest and merit. These re-
ports cover all the essential points of
the days transactions. If figures are
instructive. the figures are given. If the
argument is eloquent it's best features
are given. If there Is a scene, impress
i've for any reason, it is well described.
Nothing bearing upon the great questions
coming up for Congressional action is
this work are entirely competent to their
task, and execute it in way worthy
of all praise.
Very busy men sometimes say they
have not the time to read the newspapers
through. They halt at the long stories,
and subscribe for papers in which head
lining, and subheading. and summarizing
are we'll practiced. They want d good
deal at a glance, and when the editing
points out a story of interest and i'm
portance they take it in. Otherwise, the
headlines and subheads serve!
Well. the congressional reporters for
the press render this first aid to the nur-
ried. The public has not the time for
the days full report, but wants the
things that are the most striking and
Illuminating. And, as rule, it gets
them. A short press report is a safe
guarantee of dull day In Congress. A
long report always justifies itself. The
member who talks prosily or trivially is
cut out, and deserves to be, while the
one who gets the ear of tho House gets
also the reportorial ear. and what he
says is we'll transcribed.
Nothing of value presented in Congress
is lost to the public. The Record is
bulky, and much Of 1t tiresome, but moth
ing is buried there that does not merit
the fate. The cross-firing is often slow
The arena discourages the best wit, and
the humor is often forced. Men are too
much in earnest for the higher order of
banter. 1t is only occasionally that a
man of the grade Of Thomas B. Reed
appears, and forces business through
with the aid Of sharp tongue and
flashes of fine satire. But the good
things-the wit, the humor, the elo-
quence, and the statistics of value-hnd
their way promptly to the public through
the medium Of the daily newspapers,
and do not suffer by reason Of the Rec
Ird's limited circulation and unpopu-
.arity.

Smokers and Street Cars.

recent editorial printed i'll this paper
suggesting the adoption Of system of
checking half-burned cigars at the doors
OF street cars, so that passengers with
sensitive olfactories may be spared the
reek CT stale tobacco, and economical
smokers may be saved the pain of
throwing away their stubs. is evidently
the inspiration of the following para
graph in the Syracuse Post-Standard:
In Washington, D. c., they are SO fas-
tidious about the smell of tobacco that a
man with an unlighted cigar stub in his
teeth will probably be forbidden hereafter
about it, why not keep him off the side
walks as we'll? Make him take his
chances with the gasoline of the auto
mobiles
Passing the failure to read what The
Star said correctly, it may be pointed out
that If the local street cars were equipped
with smoking platforms, as are those in
some other cities, there would be little
difficulty. Many man would prefer to
ride outside If he could be sure of find
ing standing room without being jammed
into a human imitation of d dried mack
erel. and his toes exposed to the un-
tender mercies Of his neighbors. Possi-
bly, the man who enters car with a

toned 10 the effiuvium OF an old smoke
