THE NAVAL INQUIRY REPORT.

The Swift commission appointed to Inquire into the organization and effi- ciency of the naval service of the country will soon make its report, and 1t is to be hoped that the whitewash bucket and brush has been lost and that a report will be received which reforms which will tell to the nations cpedit in the future.
 The younger men of the navy have been openly opposed to present naval methods and have appeared before congressional committees in opposi- ton to them; and it is now rumored that the charges of the insurgents" have been substantiated. The bureaus are to be handled without gloves. The navy yard administrations are to be shown up. The general lack of co-or- dination in the department, the fat headedness" of the barnacles and the Fundamental weaknesses of the service are to be pointed out.
 As far back as the administration of President Grant," says a contempo- rary, congress was urged to reorgan- ize tho bureau system. This has been held responsible for the slowness with which the inventions of Ericsson were adopted, the low ebb to which the navy fell after the civil war, the ex- periments with costly freak construc- tions and the almost criminal waste of money in the navy yards. Congress has taken no action to bring about re- forms. The bureaus represent very valuable asset to influential members of congress. A bureau head can help @ congressman immensely, help him to find place for job-hunting constiu- ent, promote an officer, give shore leave to some and punish others with continuous sea service. engineer con- tracts and recommend expenditures for the pork barrel.''
 It will be an excellent thing for the country If things are so changed that political graft will be taken out of this department and its efficiency greatly increased.

POSTAL ORDERS.

Postmaster General Hitchcock would not assume to be "a bigger man than congress" but If recent orders enanat- ing from his department should be carried rigidly into effect he might be justified in so considering himself. The department has forbidden clerks "di- rectly or indirectly, individually or through associations, to solicit an in- crease of pay or to influence or att tempt to influence in their own inter- est any other legislation whatever, either before congress or its commit tees, or in any way. save through the heads of departments in or under which they serve. on pain of dismiss sal from the government service"
 The first amendment to the consti- tuition says:
 Congress shall make no law re- specting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, or to petition the government for re- dress of grievances"
 In view of this provision. the post office department appears to be in dan ger of going a little too far What congress has no right to do, the post office department certainly will not as- surne power to enforce.

OPINION OF A sENsATIoNALIsT.

Within a week Professor Upton of Brown university has told an intelli- gent audience that 1t was not possible for any man to fake up polar ohser- vations and records so as to fool a board of experts, and that if the Geo. graphical society of Denmark should decide that Dr. Cook reached the North pole the verdict ought to be ac- cepted by the people; but Walter We'll man, of Arctic balloon fame, who knows a sensational subject as soon as he sees it, and who has success fully worked as many of them as any American news writer. says that the whole business can be easily faked, and that Dt. Cook is a faker Walter Wellman's statement after his many failures and the endorsement of Dr. Cook by Danish explorers. cannot be regarded with any seriousness. It is not so long ago that he was gibing Peary for his slow methods and tell ing him he would reach the North pole by balloon first and made it prof itable by the use of his nimble pen. Wellman got away for the pole twice and lit on a nearby island. He has come no nearer the Pole than Peary has to reaching the peak of Mt. Me- Kinley. MT. Wellman does not ring true,

A NEW DEVICE FOR FIRE-FIeHT.
 ING.

Any new invention to stop the rav- ages of fire on land or sea is always of public interest An Australian has discovered a method of checking fires on shipboard which is likely to prove invaluable. George Harker, noting that there cannot be combustion without oxygen. and that the discharge from the tunnels of steamships con- sists of deoxygenated matter, reasons that if the products of combustion pouring out of the tunnels of burn ing steamship can be forced into the hold, they will drive out the atmos- pheric air and act like blanket on the fire.
 To put this theory into effect he has invented an apparatus consisting of a small motor operating a fan to draw the furnaces fumes from the funnel, supplemented with devices for washing and cleaning the gases and forcing them into pipes through which they may be distributed to any part of the ship. It is said that the Harker apparatus is not only effective in the main purpose for which its inventor designed 1t, but it also kills all the rats in the hold by the simple process of suffocation.
 Such an invention as this may in the future take the place of the great tank and sprinkling system now em- ployed as a safeguard by factories and other great works.

The tragedy came at a time when life held promise of superlatiye happi- ness and wonderful fulfillment, and the shock of it rendered Margaret Desmond incapable, momentarily, of sound or action. Her knees trembled weakly and she feared she was going to faint. When returning strength enabled her to move, the secret was herS-all had been said that mattered. Her fiance and her sister were in love with one anotheri Margaret drew
 back unseen from the entrance of the arbor and retreated nOiselessly across the lawn. She avoided the house. feel ing a sudden antipathy toward human companionshfp, and leaving the grounds, crossed the golf links to the path that led to the cliff.
 Below the edge of the cliff, and accessible only by a difficult rocky path, was grass s-grown shelf over looking the waters of the bay. She had been here often with Fergus; here they had built their air castles and planned that wonderful future. She sank wearily down upon the turf and tried to apply her mind to a encouragement under the new con ditions. But her head throbbed so 1t was almost impossible for her to think, and the weak, sinking feeling in her heart urged for complete rest. But that would not do; she must not rest. She must gather her scattered wits and try to determine how to meet the future without finching.
 ; First, she must give Fergus his freedom. He would never ask for it; crush this new love and keep his promise if she remained silent and al lowed him to do so. But that would not be right; Margaret's natural ten dency toward self-denial forbade it. She must give him up, and then Somehow she could not get beyond that fact. Giving him up seemed to be the end of all things. Nothing but the blackness and bitterness of de- spair could follow that. Oh, it was cruel, cruel, she cried in a sudden burst of passionate resentment. All her life she had had to give up one cherished plan after another in favor of her sister Edith. Her mini travelled back to the days of early childhood and she remembered the incident of the doll. How she had yearned for that doll How she had loved itl And when her father, who seemed al- ways to understand, had brought it home to her, she thought life could hold no geater joy. Then Edith want ed it, and when denied had gone into a rage, and screamed and kicked until her mother had given her the doll. Margaret recalled, with a rush of self pity, how she grieved over the in- justice of the thing, and how her pa tient fortitude had been looked upon as indifference.
 Margaret is not the least bit sem sitiye," her mother would sigh; "just like her father-no more heart than a stone. Now poor, dear Edith is just heartbroken over the least little thing"
 Dear old dad! Margaret longed with a feeling of tenderness to be able

PRISON PROFITS.

There is a rational movement on foot which recognizes that criminals family should be entitled to part of the profits of his labor when in pris- on instead of being left totally depend- ent in squalor and want. A Boston paper asks, "Is this justice in it's best and truest formr' and it does not take an intelligent citizen long to de- eide that 1t is not.
 It is the opinion of Penal Commis- sioner Vernon D. Skinner and Prison Commissioner Mary Boyle O'Reilly, of Massachusetts. that the profits of pris- oners labor should be turned over to a fund for the benefit of families left to struggle at home. They have seen the evils of the present method and they are well quAlihed to point the way to reform.
 The state takes tribute of 8 mans liberty when he violates its laws It should not continue to levy toll on those who have not offended, when the remedy is plain, say they, and this is right. It is time that the unfortu- nate families of criminals were better treated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
A Cannonade.

MT. Editor: Will you kindly allow the writer. who believes in honest poli- tics, to show where "Josephus" Cannon is hoisted by his own petard And, hgurateively speaking, is extinct. de- funct: so politically dead that none can doubt 1t. If Tammany will gather up the junk nothing more need be said about it.
 The Bulletin of the 24th inst. says, editorially:
 Tt is no easy matter nowadays to say something new about Speaker Cannon. for the vocabulary appears to have been exhausted upon him."
 Too true. An analysis of Uncle Joe's contracts and Inconsistencies is be- yond human eadeavor. Few men of correct instincts can uphold him in most particulars. MT. Cannon said last Thursday night in his address before the Knife and Fork, Spoon and Cork screw club in Kansas City, in sub stance, as follows:
 Senators Commfns and. LaFoIIette call themselves republicans. but if they are, then (Cannon) am something else"
 That's just it! He Is something else. But it doesn't behoove a good old man of 78-right hereto quote from the vocabulary. ani tell just what he is. Cannon set the pace the first day of
 
 when he acted in unison with Tam many and Pat McCarren democrats and a few southern representatives. His front elevation is now manufactur- ing Cannon campaign buncombe for 1910. Listen to what he says at the windup of his address: T am perfect ly willing to trust the verdict of a prosperous and happy people in the election of November 1910" How good in him to trust the dear people don't it? Those who are trying to keep up with Uncle Joe's ducking and side-stepping realize that they are ruining their political digestive or gans. His political activity, working 25 hours every week day and 30 hours on Sunday, must cause his mental, me- chanical and morphosistical apparat- us to need forced readjustment. The people could make a good trade by sending such men as Cannon to the brush, and taking on more B's and IFS, like Bulkeley Brandegee, Hill and Higgins.

TIE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
TRAGEDY'S CRUCIBLE

to go to him now. How sure she would be of his sympathy. She could understand now why he had clasped her so tightly at times, and called her his little passion flower, and whispered with sigh that she was born to taste the tragedies of life and must be brave.
 How truly he had prophesied. Her tragedy was here and she must in deed be brave. She laughed a little cynically. That was meagre comfort, just being brave. A sudden rush of tears blinded her. It was not right it was not just. she protested bitter ly. Edith had so many admirers, while she had only Fergus; the only man she had ever given a thought to -the only man who had ever shown her any attention. She could not bear it! She had not the strength Bravery was for stronger souls than hers. She would go mad!
 The hissing rush of the waters be- low her checked the onrush of her thoughts. It was the tide coming in. Soon the rocks at the foot of the cliff would be covered and the waves lap ping far up its face. Tapping and grooming their song of rest and peace. Rest and peace! Why not? Just a moments poise on the brink-a down. ward plunge and the torture and the heartache would be done. Heaven would forgive her-it had sent her more than she could bear And per- haps she would see her father and he would whisper to her of the beauties of spiritland. And when they found her lifeless, wave-tossed body they would think it was an accident, and none would censure, none would blame.
 The sun was sinking now behind the hills and the shadows had lost their outline. Margaret rose and moved toward the edge of the shelf. She leaned out and peered down at the dark waters below. then drew back, shuddering. her face covered questioned; would she be forgiven? Oh, for ray of light for guidance.
 Borne on the breeze that now stir red gently came the soft, sweet toll ing of a bell It was the bell on the convent in the adjoining city. How often, seeing some of the patient faced sisters going about on their er- rands of charity, had she wondered If tragedy had ever touched their lives. Into her heart stole ray of comfort, sudden hope. Oh, if she .might-if only she were good enough-if she could purge herself of the wickedness of the last few minutes!
 She sank to her knees and with bowed head whispered an earnest prayer. Presently she raised her clasped hands to heaven.
 She climbed the rocks to the brow of the cliff and gazed at the peaceful scene that lay before her. Lights were twinkling here and there in the cottages. The convent bell still sound ed the note of welcome and she went toward it in the deepening twilight, her mind serene and tranquil in the contemplation of its beautiful project, her eyes agiow with ethereal light Boston Post.

CIRCULATION
NOT QUITE ONE FOR ALL.

The American Red Cross society has printed 50.o00 900 stamps, nearly four-fifths of which are now in the hands of the dealers and will soon be in demand at the shop counters. It is not quite a stamp for every person living under the flag, but the time Is coming when the demand will equal that. This Is the most widely popular form of benevolent methods which all truistic ingenuity has devised. Eighty per cent. of the proceeds of the Christ. mas stamp sales will be distributed among the several states and other agencies making fight against tuber- culosis. the remaining 20 per cent. to be paid into the Red Cross treasury as Q fund to meet the the expenses of special work.
 Tn this way great good is done every year without the thought of tax or burden, and recognizing that a small part of the holiday moneys cannot be better invested, these stamps are be- coming more and more popular.
