VIM. H. ISAACS, one of Marshallt
old and prominent citizens, more
familiarly known .as Tip Issacs
was found dead at the home OF his
sister Mrs. Sue Eakin on Eastwood
Avenue, Saturday afternoon. The
news came as a shock and sur
prise, as Mr.. Isaacs was not i'll.
Mr.. Isaacs and sister had receiv-
ed letter cartier In the week from
their brother, John, of South Da-
kota saying he was coming to
make them visit and they had
planned family reunion with an
old-fashioned opossum Thanksgiv
ing dinner.
Mr.. Isaacs had intended going
home with Walter Pile to the Wan
amaker neighborhood Wednesday
to capture the necessary 'possum
and told his sister so and pas a res
suit she did not worry when he
disappeared Wednesday. 1t is
probable he went to the stable and
there fell dead of heart failure as
his body was found by some chill
dren on the south side of the
barn Saturday afternoon. The
coroner's investigation bore out
these facts.
Mr.. Isaacs was II years old, hav-
ing been born in Saline. He was
in early manhood married to
Miss Tillie Naylor, sister of B. F.
and Tom Naylor,. who lived but "a
short time after their marriage. He
was deputy sheriff under Matt
Ayres and Joseph Wilson. Besides
the brother and sister, two half
sisters survive him-Mesdames j.
w. Roberton and J. w. Bryant.
The brother, John who came to
visit his brother, was shocked to
learn of his death and came just
in time to attend the funeral. Af-
ter services at Mrs. Eakins, con-
Quoted by his pastor Rev. B. T.
Wharton, Monday at 2 p. m. the
remains were taken to Ridge
Park cemetery to rest beside those
of his wife.

Magnifcence, Net Extravaganza.

The citizens of Washington, than whom
there are no more jealous workers for
civic welfare and Improvement. come in
for undeserved criticism at times on the
score of extravagant demands and un-
reasonable requests for improvements.
The cost of running the several municipal
departments appears TO many TO be I'M
duly high when comparison is made with
that of other cities throughout the
country.
The PRIME cause Of this lies in the
fact that the beauty OF Washington. the
splendor of the Federal buildings, and
the pride of the Nation in its Capital
have all tended 10 set a standard of
municipal magnifeenee which practically
prohibits that practice of economy, re-
trenchment, and makeshift arrangement
which is possible in other cities. If the
/ growth of the city make an improve
ment imperative, whether it be a bridge,
a school building. or what not, a strue-
ture that would be regarded as imposing
in another less beautiful city would be
deficient and wholly impossible in Wash
ingtcn.
! All the great capitals OF the world have
experienced similar conditions. It has
long been perceptible in parts of London.
When Napoleon inaugurated his great
plan for beautifying Paris. standards
were set which have been adhered to in
all subsequent improvements and addi-
tions. The practice OF economy in sup
plying the absolute needs of Washington
means either doing without or a lowering
of the standards that now exist. The
growth of the city is proceeding rapidly
ing in the same ratio, and consistent eff
forts to meet them require an exacting
and incredible amount of effort on the
part of the several earnest and progress
sive bodies of business men who devote
their best energies to civic improvements.
Under such conditions. expenditures for
the erection and maintenance of munich
raj institutions in Washington will not
compare favorably in point of economy
with similar expenditures in other cities.
From the very nature of things, they
must inevitably be more expensive.
There is another side 10 the question
, of efficient support of municipal lnstitu-
, tons that is often lost sight of when the
cost is under consideration. II is the
reflex action upon the entire country that
= must certainly follow the highest de-
velopment in Washington OF the several
aspects of municipal government. The
nation is the governing body here, and
the opportunity that is thus afforded of
setting the highest attainable standard OF
city government and of the practical
. demonstration of the solution of civic
: problems may be Of vastly greater bene-
fit to the nation than. perhaps, might
I result from a high standard of architec-
ture. Washington might easily be brought
D to reflect upon the nation the methods
/, and the benefits of a model municipal
community.

Against Ship Subsidies.

In an editorial OF November . dealing
with our trade with South America. we
quoted from a speech by Mr.. Lewis Nixon,
formerly a well-known shipbuilder. and
credited him with being a longtime friend
OF ship subsidies In that we did him
an injustice. Mr.. Nixon is an ardent ad-
vocate Of such measures as will encourage
the carrying abroad american commerce
in vessels flying the American flag, but
he does not believe that substituting an
American merchant marine is the way TO
accomplish The desired end.
In a speech before the Chamber Of Com
meree, New York, last year. Mr.. Nixon
cited the fact that I'VE pay about s2CO,-
100000 freight charges now 10 Foreign YES
sells carrying our commerce abroad: and
in a magazine article, supplemenung this
speech. he adduces from this fact that "a
nation which depends upon other nations
10 do its carrying on the sea is tributary
10 the nations that do us carrying. and
as its dependence increases. so viii the
tribute lie believes that our mercantile
marine can be rehabilitated by discrimi-
mating tonnage taxes and discriminating
duties. and il is for laws providing these
things that Mr. Nixon is working.
Mr. Nixon places the blame for the I'M
satisfactory condition of our trade with
South America not on Tack of ships. "
but on Tack Of ships flying the American
flag" a distraction which, in his opinion,
makes all the difference in the world.
And yet the average citizen will perhaps
find it difficult 10 see-other than in a
very worthy patriotic impulse-where the
difference lies. No ship to-day that has not
been admitted 20 American register can
fly the American flag. which practically
means that she must be American built
owned. and manned. Practically speaking
this means substituting a much more eN-
pensive oversee carrier service than our
shippers are able to command at present
Economic conditions are such that Ameri
can ships cost more to build than foreign
ships. and their crews must be better pale

ECONOMY IN P. o. DEPT.
Fourth Assistant DE Graw Especial
Iy Deserving of Credit.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
President Taft's insistence on the OBJ
servance of greater economy in the ad-
ministration Of the governmental depart
ments appears to have been signally ef-
fective in the Office for whose direction
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General De
Graw is responsible This Is manifested
b. the figures showing the expenditures
of that Office during the fiscal year which
ended last June 60 as exhibited IN the
current report Of the auditor for the
Post-office Department. AS compared
with the expenditures Of the previous
year. these expenditures. excluding the
cost OF the free rural delivery service,
show an aggregate reduction OF nearly
soc. 600, which could only have been ac-
cnmplished by a careful. constant. and
vigilant attention TO the details of the
regular routine.
Some OF the items on the list are in
teresting and instructive. Thus, the bill
for stationery was cut very nearly IN
half with a resultant saving OF more
than s70O00 Another expense which was
materially reduced was that for the pur-
chase of blanks. &c. for the use Of the
money-order service, which was pared
down from more than $4,000 20 less than
sl1OGa with a gain 90 the government
Of 81 995. II is rather surprising 10 learn
that il cost the department very nearly
$4,000 for wrapping twine but as the
cost last year was more than sl65,ooo
there was a saving Under this head Of
s6.2S1. while less by $3.50 was spent on
typewriters. copying presses &e. than
had been spent the year before, when the
expenditures for these articles amounted
TO Sl0399l.
When these retrenchments can be mace
by a close supervision and the applica-
ton OF business methods in the expenses
of a single department. it can readily
be believed that by the Introduction OF
the same methods in all branches or the
public service reductions tOtaling many
millions of dollars can be accomplished
without any detriment to the general
welfare. and the President viii be heart
jly sustained by the sentiment or the
community in his insistence that a care
full economy shall everywhere be made
one Of the guiding principles OF official
administration. Those who are spending
other peoples money are under a strong
and constant temptation 10 be- II not
wastefully extravaganL at least I'M
necessarily liberal, in their disposition
of it.
Mr.. De Graw deserves credit for being
among those by whom this temptation
has been successfully resisted The rec
ord he has made is certainly excellent.

knowledge that the American flag had
flown over an American cargo.
We think it is undoubted that a great
majority of Americans would be glad to
see our merchant marine recover from its
present poor estate, to regain some of the
glory in friendly rivalry on the seas that
1t had won so worthily prior to the war
of 1872. But we are equally of the opinion
that the American people are not willing
to pay too dearly for this privilege. The
words discriminating tonnage taxes" and
discriminating duties" are likely 10 sound
no more pleasantly in the ears of the
great bulk of consumers at home than the
words ship subsidies" In other words.
if the builders OF ships see a chance for
profit in carrying American merchandise
to foreign ports. the nation. as whole.
viii rejoice; but II such a contamination
can be brought about only through aid
drawn-no matter in how subtle man
ner-from the public purse. such aid is not
likely to be forthcoming.

A Navy Reform" Farm.

It was probably an unfortunate title
which former Surgeon General P. NJ
Rixey L. S. n, gave TO his proposed
institution for the benefit of the health
OF certain members of the enlisted force
when he called it a reform farm. !"
The word reform" is associated with
corrective agencies. while the allusion 10
an agricultural establishment fails to
appeal to those who follow the sea.
The naval authorities do not appear to
have taken seriously the recommended
lions for the establishment OF such a
farm. the object of which is 10 improve
the moral and physical welfare OF en-
listed men of the navy, more especially
for men OF the service who are serving
sentences of Imprisonment imposed by
naval courts. At present these men must
necessarily be incarcerated in places of
detention, such as those at Boston ana
Portsmouth, n. II. Probably the reform
farm would have a beneficial effect upon
the health and eontentment of individ-
uals and would doubtless be an improved
condition over existence in prisons.
In philanthropic projects OF this kind,
care must be exercised not to make the
situation of the prisoner altogether too
pleasant. Il is not necessary TO have
tho conditions OF Imprisonment rendered
& comfortable retreat. with relief from
arduous duty or attending circumstances
which impaTt an air OF luxury 10 a man
who IS being punished because he vio-
lated regulations or disobeyed the laws OF
the land It would seem that there IS
no great necessity for going TO the ex-
pense Of establishing reformatory insti-
tutions for the benefit of the military
naval prisoners. They are apt 10 be well
cared for under the system which now
prevails, with the close scrutiny exercis-
ed by sanitary officers. Their welfare
involves the solicitous regard of the au-
thoriues. and at no time do they appear
to be the objects of public sympathy OF
the occasion Of relief.
