AN UvM4NNERLY COLLAPSE.

1t, would be hard to, say where the
case against Secretary Ballinger broke
down most conspicuously, whether when
Mr.. PiDchot failed TO produce a scintilla
of evidence to prove the astounding
things he promised to prove upon the
witness stand or in the long cross ex-
animation of Secretary Ballinger which
is now drawing to a close. No doubt
many waited for that cross examination
before making up their minds, but with
all the latitude that counsel for Mr..
CLAWS has enjoyed and with all the saw
ageneSs he has exhibited he has accom-
pfisbed nothing. He has not shaken Mr..
Bal1inger's testimony or obtained from
him any damaging admissions or con-
fronted him with any unpleasant sur
prises.
But the failure OF the cross-eXamina-
ton is not the worst Of 1t for the prose
cution," SO called. If its case had been
conducted in more gentlemaniy and
fair minded way that failure would not
have left an impression so injurious to
the Secretary's accusers. 1t is not sur
prising that the cross examina ton has
got on the nerves of the Senators and
Representatives who have been. COM
PEELED to listen to ii. 1t has got on the
nerves even of those who have only read
about il in the public prints.

THE NEW REIGN

Jan Zamoiski's often quoted saying IS
brought again 10 mind by many com
1lentatcrs upon the new reign: The
King Teigns. but does not govern" No
where. probably. would that be thought
by the inconsiderate and needless to be
more literally true than in the United
Kingdom. which was the first monarchy,
in the modern world at least, TO be really
constitutional and in which the mon
arch. scrupulously holding alOof from
party politics and exercising govern
mental functions through his ministers,
is often assumed 10 be more purely a
iigurehead than in any other country.
Such an estimate is. however. far from
lie truth, for there is Ia fact scarcely
an enlightened and constitutional coun-
ry in the world in when the sovereign
is personally more Influential than he is
in Great Britain and in which the King.
despite Zamoiski, more truly exercises
direct or indirect authority
The reference is not now so much to
the direct exercise of the royal preroga-
tive. important as that is, as TO the
vastly wider ana more important though
indirect influence of the royal office
There is really nothing whatsoever in
tEe fact Of the change Of sOyereigns to
alter the popular or the official attitude
toward the great controversial questions
which only the other DAY We're upper
most in the public mind. Yet through
the purely passive influence Of royalty
tlat attitude has been. at least for a
considerable time, wholly altered. The

tional crisis. viii he due 10 general sym

CHILE factor In the affairs OF the empire.
The proceedings in Parliament yester-
day show once more that Tennyson
phrasad it truly when he wrote of 'our
IovaI passion for our temperate kings.
II is not unreasonable TO expect that
the influence thus strongly marked at
the beginning VIII extend In some form
tIlrcughout the new reign. THE initial
impress will not easily vanish. 1t is i
great thing that there has thus. been
postponed for Il considerable time the
coming to conclusions upon the supreme
constitutional issue Of Parliamentary re
organiEati ton. That issue will in time
be fought out, but the result will almost
certainly be other than it would hare
been had the postponement not oc-
curred-different and probably better.

BIGGER NAVAL GUNS.

In order to facilitate the business OF
| closing contracts with builders Wheh
| Congress shall have fixed the number OIL
new battleships to be authorized this
year the Navy Department is carefuiiy
considering the plans to be"adopted. II
q design now before the General board
| is approved, an important change VIII
be made in the armament Of the next
pair of sea fighters. Their main bat
teries will be composed of guns having
a calibre of IA inches The biggest guns
recently in favor In the American navy
have 12-inch bores.
According to a dispatch from The Trib-
unes Washington bureau the General
Board seeks to secure an increase IN hit
ting power, and there is independent
evidence showing that the weapon which
it is proposed to introduce will promote
the object in more ways than one. Much
heavier projectiles would be used with
the new gun than are now in service.
and a gain Of about one-fourth in muz-
zle velocity is also assured. Further
more, it has come to he regarded as an
axiom by ordnance experts that the
heavier a gun Is the greater is its accu-
racy Of aim, because of an enhanced
fairness Of the path followed by the pro-
jectile. AS the result Of prolonged and
tliligent target practice the gunners OF
the navy make fine scores. but they are
not and never will be infallible- In
crease the percentage Of hits, and the
purpose for which fighting ships are
built will be more perfectly realized. If,
while increasing the certainty that
shot will land where it is intended to- 1t
reason Of q gain in weight, the govern
ment would get double return for its
additional investment.
1t has repeatedly been suggested in the
last year that it would be profitable ma
terially to increase the size of American
battleships. There has been no little
talk Of attempting a displacement of
10000 or even So, coo tons. Yet The Trib-
unes Washington correspondent notes
that vessels only trif1e larger than the
Wyoming and the Arkansas could mount
ten 14-inch guns Such q battery could
discharge more metal In a single broad
side than twelve 12-inch guns Still. the
government may wish to make a more
effective application of the advantages Of
the new weapon by designing much big
ger floating gun platforms than any it
will have when all the vessels now build
ing are finished. It's decision on this
point Will be awaited with lively curl
osity.

THE TEETH And HEALTH,

The dental hygiene conference and
exhibit which opens to-day in the as
sembly room of the Metropolitan Life
Building, under the auspices of the
Dental Hygiene Council of New York,
promises TO be the beginning of an edu-
catfonal campaign regarding the care
and preservation of the teeth similar TO
that which has been carried on against
tuberculosis. It is needed. Public school
statistics show that parents in general
look upon the decay Of children's teeth
as normal and the loss Of them as of
little consequence. With regard to this
popular ignorance. DR.. William r.
Woodbury.. the Boston neurologist, writ
ing last year upon the subject of dental
hygiene, said:
Ninety per cent of ali the school chill
dren of Germany have defective teeth.
Reports this year of dental inspection in
Massachusetts show no better condition.
Defective teeth are causing a great va
riety Of other diseases. many of them
serious. The lesson of this matter is to
get down to the seat Of the trouble. The
ignorance of the public is the trouble.
Parents are not wilful in their neglect
ignorant.
A law compelling parents to send their
children to the dentist and to the sur
geon is impossible. Instruction in physi-
olOgy and hygiene should be a more i'm
poTtant and fundamental part of the
school work. We talk about essentials.
The essentials are supposed to be Ger
tain subjects OF study-reading, writing.
arithmetic and few others of that kind.
We are neglecting the essential of all es-
sentials-a sound body.
The object of this conference and ex-
hihit is TO teach parents, and children,
too-for there are to be stereopticon
lectures for the children-the impor-
lance of the subject there illustrated
The aim Will be TO bring home to the
public the need of prompt and regular
attention TO the teeth of young children,
Of keeping the mouth clean and Of fill
ing cavities while they are small.
The relation OF sound teeth to the gen.
eTal health, to digestion and nutrition.
will be dwelt upon. together with their
relation through the general health to
the capacity Of children to profit by
their opportunities in school and to
their efficiency in after life. The con
nectioD between tbe state of the mouth
and the liability TO disease. especially
to grave infectious diseases, will be
made clear. The whole conception is the
noble one Of preventive medicine, and
the sim is to strike at one Of the most
general causes of i'll health and reduced
efficiency through q campaign of educa-
ton. We hope the movement viii
arouse the WIDESPREAD interest and at
tract the support that it deserves.
