The Home at Fault.

1t is very often the plea when certain
social evils become prominent that it is
the fault of the church, which Is not do
ing its full duty; it is not getting down to
the needs of the masses. Something is
to be said for this point Of view, espe-
cially when examples are rife OF minis
ters OF the gospel who preach sensational
sermons for their own Qualification and
advertisement, and others whose sense OF
duty is so convenient that they can shut
up their churches and leave their congre-
cations alone for several months while
they go or to the country. But We do not
agree with Judge John Newcomer, Of Chi
cago. who, stating that about 20 per cent
OF the criminals brought before his mu-
nicipal court are between the ages OF six
teen and twenty-five. blames the result on
the neglect of the churches
Quite true it is that the church may
point the way. but the foundation Of
good. honest citizenship is to be found
in the home, and it is to the careless indif-
ference Of parents and guardians. rather
than to laxlty on the part of the churches.
that this distressing condition Of affairs
is due.
We, as q people, live in such rush
and turmoil. every moment of the busy
day being occupied. that too often we do
not give that care and consideration to

REMINGTON'S BEGINNING.
Three Pictures by "Remo"- Brought
$50 in Kansas City shop.
From Golfers Week.,


Along about 1854 Frederic Remington
landed in Kansas City, after spending
the summer on a ranch at Dodge City.

and his mind was full of Indians. cow
punchers. and soldiers He did not tell
the men whom he met that he was an
artist At least he did not mention II
IN the shop where he bought his art
materials. as We are informed by Guy
snort or Yonkers, who was a youngster
working In the shop at that time. Rem
ington was around the place a good
While before he ventured to bring out
any pictures. Two Of the three that he
submitted first were about twelve by
fourteen inches and the third about If
teen by thirty inches. the largest one
showing an attack on a wagon train.
one Of the smaller ones Picturing three
Indians peeping over hill at a wagon
in the valley, and the third presenting
three trappers standing in front OF their
horses, looking az a skeleton in tie
grass. which was pinned TO the ground
by an Indian arrow.
4 few moments after these three pic
lures were put in the window there were
about 100 persons trying TO get a look
al them. Some came in 10 make In
quiries. others thought they were a
joke. The men IN the shop told inquirers
that Reno as he then signed himself,
was really an Eastern artist, whose bust
ness IL was TO paint gOndoliers and
Spanish gentlemen. but that he had Just
been spending his summer on a Kansas
ranch with this result. The first pur-
chaser was finally found, and he took al

Mr.. BalfOur's Navy Panic.

In his speech at Glasgow recently. Mr..
Balfour played up. so 10 say. 10 the
Unionist ''reveille." making the navy his
subject, despite the fact that he himself
was the author of the naval scare al the
time of the last British election. MI.
Ralfour did exactly that which might
have been expected lie reiterated his
attacks upon the government and repre-
scented the naval position of the country
under the present administration as peril
Gus In the extreme
Mr.. Balfour has so firm a grasp of
many principles of imperial defense that
his partisan exaggeration and his appeal
10 unreasOning panic is the more to be
regretted. The naval plans. as the prime
minister and Sir Edward Grey have
shown. VIII call for A great deal Of deter
mination and heavy cost in the immediate
future. There is a national danger in
such statements as Mr.. Balfour has made.
even If they be partly true, for panics
that are raised on the platforms and
then allayed by facts are apt 20 create
a recoi and reaction. The attempt 10
deceive public opinion by imaginary dan
gers may render it skeptical about real
needs ia a critical hour.
Mr.. Balfour's allegation is that the Brit
ish navy has been allowed 10 fan into a
position OF weakness. and thai in the
near future its margin OF superiority in
lighting ships, even over a single power.
will be perilously small Nobody pre-
tends. says Mr., Balfour. that the two
power standard has been either preserved
or approximately preserved at the pres
ent time.
The Liberal government does not pre-
tend this; it asserts it positively, and
facts prove it. According TO the official
Naval Annual, Great Britain has thirty
two modern and twenty-three older battle
ships. while France and Germany CON-

Health Office Hysteria.

Alert 10 the eity's interest and reputa-
ton. the Chamber OF Commerce has wise
~ taken eognizanee Of certain ill-di-
rected activity on the part of the District
health office-the giving out Of unduly
alarming reports about diseases which
appear here. naturally. just as they ap-
pear in every large community.
Washington has not had really serious
epidemic OF any kind in years. II has
been singularly and happily free from
anything of that sort. II is a clean.
healthy. and wholesome place in which
TO live. But hardly a year passes that
the community is not. at some interval,
thrown into needless alarm, thanks 10 the
activity OF the health Office.
The past summer that new and strange
malady, infantile paralysis. OF which a
few scattered cases developed, served the
purpose of an official discussion and en-
suing agitation which had the tendency
10 create an impression abroad that
Washington was being fairly scourged
with the dread disease.
The summer before we were advertised
10 the world as having a leper on our
hands. and a leper colony for one was
established on the city's outskirts; but
after months of nauseating. hysterical
discussion. aided and abetted by the
health Office, it developed, as we recall,
that the afflicted creature was not leper
at ALL
Then there is the periodical scare over
typhoid, from which Washington is rela-
lively as immune as any other city of its
size in the land
All Of this the Chamber OF Commerce
has come TO realize, as the medical fra
ternity has keenIy realized. is harmful
in more ways than one, and so the news
papers are to be asked. not TO suppress
anything in the way Of news or useful in
formation, but to cease TO cooperate in
the spreading Of misleading reports com
ing from an always active and easily
affrighted health Office. In other words.
the Chamber reasonably asks the press,
for the city's good to appraise the out
put of that Office at IT'S real wo~th-which
is precisely what this newspaper has
been doing all along.

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1910.
Gen. CrOzier and Certain Critics.

1t is refreshing to find a government
officer who does not believe his office
is so defective that II needs special
treatment at the hands Of expert ac-
countants and professional reformers
The annual report Of Gen. William Gro
zier, Chief of Ordnance of the army,
contains an agreeable diversion from the
conventional attitude OF Official COM
plant He believes that he and his assoc
ciates have done all that can be done to
administer the affairs of the army ord
nance department in an efficient and
prudent way. The arsenals under the
Chief Of Ordnance are conducted with
due regard Tor economy. and he protests
against the general criticism applied in
discriminatory TO government industrial
plants, Cen Crozier is able 10 show that
the sum of more than 100000 has been
expended by his Office in the manufacture
Of ordnance material during the past
fiscal year. and he is anxious that q
comparison be made with the business
methods of the arsenals and those Of the
best conducted private establishments in
the country. 1t is "a favorite device of
the critics to allege that the big private
institutions are managed with a degree
Of economy which may be reproduced
at government establishments. Any one
who knows anything Of government
methods will readily appreciate that il
is impossible TO conduct a departmental
bureau or a government plant IN the
same way as a private industrial insti-
tuition. OF course. there are places in
the government where remedial measures
could be easily applied with material ad-
vantage TO the government, and, OF
course. not all the parts OF the executive
branch are as ably conducted as the
bureau and plants under the Chief of
Ordnance OF the army.
An annual report is usually an unin-
teresting document, which gains notice in
the newspapers simply as a routine func-
ton OF government. But in the case Of
Gen. Crozier, he has eniivened official
comment this year by his protest against
having the arsenals, at least, included
in the general charge Of tnefaclency and
extravaganza which has been made and
which, as he justly and pertinently re-
marks, cannot be otherwise than dis
eourasing TO the skillful and conscien-
tious officers in command of its various
manufacturing departments and their as
sistants, who have been successful in
seeing that the government has had
suitable return from the funds which
have been conhded to their charge"
The experts who have been commits
stoned TO institute radical changes for
the preservation Of government funds
will evidently have little TO do when #
comes TO the army ordnance office and
the arsenals under the Chief of ord
nance.

bined have only twenty four OF the former
and nineteen OF the latter. OF cruisers.
Great Britain has forty-eight first class.
twenty-five second class, and thirty-two
third class. or a total OF los, while the
combined cruiser force OF the two powers
named is only eighty-nine. Furthermore,
Great Britains war-ship tonnage is 1,750.-
600. that of the two other powers. 1,2l2,s90;
and the British personnel is 12S,522
against 1921 of the others.
In the face OF such facts, it seems I'M
reasonable 10 assert that the two-power
standard has not been approximately"
preserved. If Dreadnoughts and COM
parison with Germany alone be taken into
consideration. Great Britain readily can
claim two to one Great Britain's naval
superiority may or may not be incontest-
able in the future. but to-day it still is
palpably superior
Next. Mr.. Balfour asserts that in the
near future the margin in British strength
viii be lower than at any period in Eng
lands history for over a hundred years.
TO test this statement, and discarding
the older battle ships mentioned above.
but adding TO the modern ships already
built those now under construction, Great
Britain has thirty-nine battle ships and
III cruisers. while France and Germany
together have forty-one Of the former, but
only ninety-eight OF the latter. England's
superiority here is somewhat reduced. and
these figures may point TO the necessity
for the construction of more battle ships
soon. but it is idle TO conjecture out of
such figures a vision Of unparalleled
weakness.
Had Mr.. Balfour confined his philippe
10 the statement that Englands great
superiority in pre-Dreadnought ships is
wasting superiority. he might have hit
the mark. for. as the number OF Dread
noughts afioat increases. the pre-Dread-
noughts will cease to count But it is
absurd 10 assume already that by 1913
ships OF the class OF the Lord Nelson
$500 or the King Edward Q9O0 will be
a negligible quantity.
Yet it was on such assumptions that
Mr.. Balfour. at Glasgow, built up his
cry OF panic.

as If it were all a huge joke.
Older nations have learned better than
this. They have learned that immaturity
must be guarded against its own inclina-

mere pleasure-seeking, until such time as,

through education or life itself. 1t is COM

but infinitely more may be done by the

WOMAN AND THE BALLOT.

it, IS what every woman wants, next 70

Just why a woman wants a pony coat

5000 Aerial Patents.

Some idea of the interest taken by in

is afforded by the statement from Wash
ington that 5000 patents have been issued
already on airships and aerial contri-
vances of various kinds. Stress Is laid
upon the point that the brains of the
aviator must be the main dependence in
all cases of successful man-fiight. Hope
has been expressed that some type of
flying machine would be invented that
would be automatically responsive to
