Summer Charity.

Summer charity is closely allied with
the problem Of caring for the poor in
winter. The few hundred dollars that
are spent by the Associated Charaties dur
ing the heated term to send women
and children into the country for a short
period Of rest and recuperation should
be considered as an investment in good
health and an insurance against sickness
and heavy domestic expense later in the
year Many d case of restitution cared
for by the charitable organizations in
midwihter owes its origin to physical
breakdowrt following the summer strug-
gle for health against sayere climatic
conditions. Tie doctors bill' figures
prominently in the tales of woe that are
told to the charitable investigators. and
ii is To eliminate this factor far as
possible from the equation as well as to
give happiness TO the women and chill
dren themselves. that summer outings are
planned. Just at present more money
is needed TO carry on this beneficent
work, and the mere statement of the re-
quirement should suffice TO refill the
treasury and enable those in charge 10
send into the country every woman and
child who Is found deserving of this
attention and who can be spared from
home.

The AQueduet Bridge.

While there has been no acute appre-
hension of late years regarding the sta
bi1ity of the Aqueduct bridge, owing TO
the fact that the structure has been kept
under close observation and in constant
repair. IL has nevertheless been felt that
the ancient way across the river should
he replaced by better and more mod
ern and more trustworthy creation
Capt. Hannum's report on the bridge
clearly states the case in terms that
cannot well be ignored. Eventually. he
says, all the old masonry of the piers
viii give way under the constant wearing
Of the currents. Three methods are pes
sible fer the proper treatment of the
structure, one, costing S1J0.009, whereby
the old piers will be surrounded by shells
OF reinforced concrete above the water
line: another. costing S350.00o, by the
replacement of the five old piers by new
ones, and third. costing S9J0,O0o, con-
sistins of an entirely new structure
In view of the great amount of money
that has been spent already in the patch
ing of this bridge ii would seem to be
advisable 10 abandon il and to provide at
or near the same point strong modern
structure, preferably of the cantileyer or
the suspension type. In view of the pc
Culiarities of the river at this point it is

Senator Swanson.

Former Gov Swanson's appointment to
the Senate will be generally and warmly
approved He should serve as well in that
body as he did in the House. He will
be no stranger. either, to the proceedings
or to his associates. National lawmaking
is familiar ground to him. and many of
the men now so engaged are old ac-
quaintances He will simply hang up his
hat and go to work
Mr.. Swanson belongs to the younger
school of southern politicians-that is to
say to the school composed of men who
have come on the scene as actors in pub
lie affairs since the civil war. Maj. Dan
iel. whom Mr.. Swanson succeeds. served
in that war, and something of his early
prestige in politics rested upon his fine
record as a soldier. Mr.. Swanson, OH
the other hand, was an infant in arms
instead of soldier in arms at that time,
to the way in which he has mastered
the issues of his time.
The new senator from Louisiana is of
this same school. Younger than the
Virginian he was not born until after
the civil war had ended. He is new
even in the politics of his state, having
achieved his influence within the past
few years. And he, too, succeeds man
who fought for the Confederacy, and by
his fine conduct in the field first en-
deared himself to his people. Mr. Nc
Emery, like Maj. Daniel, profited in his
first appeals for Office by the record he
had made in the war.
But, although with no war records of
their own, these men stand, of course,
by the war records made by their people.
They cherish the history of their states
in all details.
What we are all engaged in now is
shaping and executing policies for the
benefit of the reunited country. or
their own experience, the younger men
of the south know the country only in
that condition. What they think of it,.
and how far are willing to go in sup
port of it, was attested at the time Of the
Spanish war, when they offered them
selves freely to President Mckinley for
service in the field
The south would do well, therefore, in
choosing her representatives in the ma
tional council to hold to the standard
of these two men. They have proved
their quality, and are young in years.
Should they make good in their new
places their services can be commanded
Tor a long time. Maj. Daniel at Mr..
Swanson's age was just beginning his
notable career, while Mr.. McEnery at
Senator ELECT Sanders age was wholly
unknown to national life.

Station House Reform.

The conditions among the station houses
of this city to which official atten-
ton has just been called anew in the
hope of securing their amelioratiCn, are
rot a all surprising 1t has been known
fer years that the police stations OF
Washington were disSracefully made
quatc i'm size and in equipment This
matter has been brought to the notice
of Congress repeatedly in the hope of
securing relief. In connection with the
often-cited state of the District Jail.
which was finally pronounced a disgrace
to the capital Congress has been I'M
plored to appropriate for series Of new
police stations, not merely to provide
for the growth of the city, but to re-
place the old structures.
These local station houses reflect the
barbarous old doctrines that offenders
against the law and suspected persons are
deserving of none but the most con-
temptucus treatment before, during and
after trial and conviction. In short, the
damp, insanitary. uncomfortable cell,
wherein many q prisoner has been driven
to suicide by the forbidding surroundings,
is an epitome OF the old, harsh concept
Of the law. The District is now emery
ing from this darkness. After many
years it has been given definite promise
OF Jail reform. and work is now under
way in the construction of institutions
cf detention embodying the modern idea
Of punishment and reform. A law has
at last been put on the statute books
enabling the courts to remit penalties III
the hope of securing the return of a
first offender TO moral, iaw-abidinS ways
Of life. In short, the District has been
placed on the rising plane toward
civilized and civiizing treatment Of those
who cross the line of the law.
II is anomalous that this process should
begin with the Jail end, leaving. UNI
touched that phase of the detention sys-
tenn. which affects the great majority OF
persons who fall under the ban of the
police. Station house reform should have
preceded Jail reform. BY station house
reform however, is not meant the IN
sttution of such comforts that the places
IF temporary detention are made I'M
wholesome1y attractive. There is no dan
ger that through the substitution OF
cleanliness and sanitation and light and
simple decency in the station houses Tor
the present conditions people will be in
duced TO break the laws for the sake of
such lodging.
Nothing can be done at this moment
toward the desired end of making the
Districts police stations fit for human
occupation. The District government
has done and is doing all that is pos
sibe to remedy the evils that there exist.
Nothing more can be undertaken short
cf the tearing down of all the old houses
and their replacement with new build
fnss. designed in accordance with hui
name principles and an enlightened con-
cent CT the duty of the community to-
ward the law breakers. This is more
than a sanitary question. 1t is ques-
ton Of public morals in the broadcast
aspect.

Police Pursuits.

Almost coincidental with the capture
OF DIR. Crppen and his companion on
board the steamer Montrose on her ar
rival on the Canadian shore came the
news of another successful end of police
chase. For months detective from
Louisville, KY, has been searching for
Joseph Vending, charged with the muir
der of a little girl in that city i'm cir
cumstanees of peculiar atrocity. With
unflagging persistence and with excep-
tional skill every clue has been investi-
gated, with many disappointments and
much loss of time. But finally, through
the folly of the fugitive himself. informa-
ton was obtained of his whereabouts and
he was tracked to his hiding place.
1t is becoming more difficult for fugi-
tives from Justice to conceal themselves.
They may flee to foreign countries and
for a time enjoy a comparative freedom
and immunity With rare exceptions,
however. they are caught. There is no
assurance that they will not be recog-
nized Owing to the International ex-
change OF police information a man
wanted for crime anywhere is likely to
be recognized even at the ends of the
world.
People travel about SO widely and so
promiscuously nowadays that a man who
is wanted" wherever he may be, is
likely to be seen and identified by fell
low townsman. The far-reaching spread
of newspapers. carrying portraits of
criminals at large, narrows the field of
the fugitive and lessons his chance of
escape The telegraph and, as In the
Crippen case, the wireless bring the police
headquarters of every city i'm the world
into communication with far distant
points. Scientific systems of identifica-
ton are in vogue in all countries, vir-

Overpractical.

OF Joe Struthers says, says he,
"Practical's the way to be.
Look at things jest as they are.
Don't let fancy stray too far,
Hearn' music in the air,
Seem pictures everywhere.
When small common sense you view
Dollars is uncommon, too.
Poetry an want is brothers

When oil Joe has planted seed,
Every blossom marks weed;
Every bird that sings SO gay
Is a robber huntin' prey.
Every sunbeam, every shower,
Means jes SO much CROWN power.
So, when all is said an done,
He is missin' heaps of fun.

tuaIiy on a basis of international agree
ment. No DISCUSSES now avail long TO
fool the police and to thwart justice. No
man can change certain physical meas
uremenfs and proportions. The lines
of his thumb are fixed permanently by
nature. He cannot lose his identity.
Formerly it was only by some adven-
titious circumstance or mark, some blem-
ish or tattoo Disagreement that escaped
criminals were recognized. The work OF
the police in the chasing of their quarry
is comparatively easy today. And yet
with all these aids such achievements
as that scored in the capture. of Vending
stand to the high credit of the police and
forward the ends of justice in giving the
laws against capital crime impressive
force and significance.

The Horseless Age.

From the Worcester Gazette.
Though often spoken of as though it
were at our very doors. the horseless
age is far in the future, If the statiS-
tics presented by the Live Stock Journal
have been correctly made up. 1t is small
wonder that when so many automobiles
are seen scurrying about daily and when
so many people of all classes own the
vehicles, there being $1,000 machines in
Massachusetts alone, the passing of the
horse is taken for thing all but accom-
plished But there are some horses yet.
In fact, there are more horses now than
there ever ware before in the country;
there was never SO great a demand for
horses of all classes, and the value of
horsefesh is many times that of all the
autos made annually. The value of the
horse is probably several times the value
of all the automobiles in the country.

Marvels of a New York Terminal.
From the New York World

From Inc New 10rk WOrIu.
Ten thousand people were unhoused to
make room for the Pennsylvania railroad
terminal station in New York city. Less
than ten years ago these people, enough
to make a fiourishing city by themselves,
lived in $1O.OOO.OOO worth of buildings in
least marvellous thing in connection with
the splendid terminal structure which was
formally opened to company uses yester-
day is the speed with which the great site
was cleared, excavation made to the depth
of forty feet and the vast new edifice
erected. In another month the new sta
ton will be opened for traffic uses, and
the monopoly of direct train entrance to
Manhattan, held for generations at the
Grand Central, will be broken. The
event will make an epoch in metropolitan
as well as in railroad history.

The Name of the Thing.
from the Detroit News.

From The Detroit News.
We are all torn up over whether ii
is 'hopple' skirt or ''hobble" skirt. One
says the former. because you put "hop-
pies on q horse, and he or she is then
"hoppled." Another sticks to the harder
consonant. and reasons that the wearer
must "hobble" along when attempting
locomotion. The Century Dictionary dog
matically makes 1t "hopple." The New
York World says ''hobble.'' but quotes it,
and omits to mention the original author
ity. This looks like a fertile field for
senatorial investigation and elaboration,
it's so purely academic and so absolute
~ not-worth- while.

Boss Cox and Senator Burton should get

What's Wrong With the Schools 2
From the Minneapolis Journal.


There is something wrong with the
American school system. 1t fails some
how to do the work it ought to do.
Every year a quarter million children
in American cities quit school before
reaching the eighth grade. There is
deep discomfort among the people over
the results of school training for their
children. In Boston. this discomfort has
burst forth so violently as to threaten
turnover from top to bottom. In
other cities there are question.ngs and
murmurinss. while in still others the
awakening has led to heroic measures of
reform.
