Marathon denominations.

From the New York Tribune.
The so-called Marathon" road races
were bad enough; profitless outgrowths
Of pernicious and senseless craze. The
Marathon" contests in Kinks and other
buildings were still worse in every re-
spect; grotesque travesties upon a dis
torted legend. But the superlatlve de-
gree OF senselessness is attained IN the
Marathon dances" which have now
sprung into vogue in various neighbor-
hoods, with invariably mischievous and
not infrequently disastrous and even IA
tai results
The spectacle Of a number Of young
women, lost to all sense OF self-respect
or self interest, publicly dancing with
male companions hour after hour with
out pause in a contest Of physical endur-
anee, until they reel and fall in sheer
collapse, is irredeemably revolving. When
the almost inevitable consequences to the
Vretched participants are taken into ac-
count 1t assumes an even more detestabie
aspect. Yet it is witnessed and applaud
ed by gaping throngs OF brutes and fools
with the acquieseenee OF the powers that
be-
There ought to be no difficulty and no
delay in suppressing these exhibitions.
Health boards and police should surely
have power to stop public performances
which are indisputably Injurious to
health and perilous to life. In addition
to being unspeakably offensive to every
instinct OF deceney.

The Real Battle to Come.

From the Kansas City Star.
Senator La Toilette is right The pro-
gressive victory IN the House was only
one of a series of skirmishes that must
precede the big battle in November for
the control Of the House. The victory
over Cannon and Cannonism in the rules
fight was a heartening victory, but it did
not break down the system expressed By
the terms Aldrichism and Cannonism.
That system is still in control.
Even with parliamentary precedents
making it in order TO vaeate the chair of
the Speaker or to change the Rules Com
mittee at any time. there is no assur-
ance that even successive changes in the
Speakership or in the committee would
change the fixed order of things for the
better. The successful skirmish in the
House will have salutary effect for the
remainder Of the present session, espe-
cially as many CT the Cannon members
are aware that they have incensed their
constituents and must modify their atti-
tude if they hope for reelection.
The only actual security the people
have is in turning out the unfaithful and
putting trustworthy men In their places
This fight is for just one thing-to restore
representative government in Congress.
to abolish government by the special in
terests, and the people will be much more
concerned over this issue than over party
regularity"

Bureaueratic suppressiop

From the New YORK American
II Is remarkable and not credltable TO
the political sense OF the American peo-
pie that the recent government orders
forbldding Federal employees from pub
licly critieising the work OF their depart
ments have passed with SC little com
ment
These orders constitute a political inno-
walton, savoring OF Old World bureau
cratic ideas and scarcely congruous with
the spirit of American political institu-
tons
II Is. Of course, necessary that subordi-
mates in the departments should be in
general agreement with their superiors.
And any employe who puts himself in
distinct antagonism 10 any important poll
ley OF his chief must inevitably run the
risk OF summary dismissal.
On the other hand, the public can I'll az
ford to dispense with the advice and IN
formation Of those who care enough for
the service to take this risk
II is always possible that reforms Of
great Importance may be introduced into
the public service by such means, and
minor reforms and the discovery of bet
ter ways OF doing little things have often
come from the free public criticism Of
the public service by the employees OF the
public
The system Of bureaucratic suppression
Is excellent from the point Of machine
politics, party patronage. or the preten-
sions Of arbitrary power.

a Five-cent Tip.

An Englishman, after a long tour OF
America. gives it as his opinion that the
greatest nuisance Of the country to-day
is the tipping system. He not only dis
cusses it in an intelligent manner. but he
points out some of the advantages OF the
English practice Of giving "tuppenee "
He declares this to be the London tip
proper on all occasions, and one that salts
fes the taker and works no great hard
ship on the giver.
In a humorous manner, the foreigner
tells of the practice. He declares that
when he was brought to his father in the
next room, the nurse who announced It
was boy was tipped. The church clerk
who put tepid water in the baptismal
font was tipped, and so was the cabby
who drove the christening party home
At school and at college he tipped liber-
ally, and on his wedding trip he tipped
the guard to give himself and bride a
compartment TO themselves. He goes
through life tipping, but never until he
studied conditions in America did he see
the evil of the system.
At his first dinner in New York he gave
the walter a nickel, and that servitor
rolled it about for a moment, and then
said: Pardon me; I thought you had
given me a quarter by mistake" Such is
the attitude of the average servant IN
America. He declares the tip in this
country makes a 15-cent shave a quarter
and a 75-eent dinner a dollar. He sees in
the nickel a useful coin. If the practice Of
giving it TO servants in place of a larger
coin be generally followed. The habit
is spreading Of firms and corporations
giving TO their employees a liberal sum at
Christmas. If the hotels, eating houses,
Pullman Company. and others who serve
the public were to adopt this method of
reward 1t might tend to abolish the tip.

a Singular Naval Episode.

While William c. Whitney was Secre-
tary Of the Navy the Dolphin was nut
into commission. This trim little Graf,
was the first Of the vessels Of the navy
built Of steel, and the department was ex-
ceedingly proud Of the acquisition. The
craft was lying at the Brooklyn Yards
when the formal inspection was made.
The various high officers Of the navy
were out in their brightest uniforms.
The commandant was ready to receive
his guests and the vessel was spick and
span,
Secretary Whitney jauntily stepped
aboard In his hand he carried a silk
umbrella Up TO that time umbrella rods
had been made of wood, but the Secretary
had an imported one. with a steel rod.
probably the first ever brought into this
country. lie walked about the deck Of
the ship. and finally started down the
companion way The steps led down
Just inside the hull of the vessel. and the
Secretary. being somewhat near-sighted.
used his umbrella as a cane TO guide his
footsteps as he reached the bottom. The
metallic ring of the steel rod against the
ships side interested him. and suddenly
he struck little harder than usual I'm
agine the CONSERVATION when the umbrella
rod pierced the hull OF the vessel and the
water from the ocean spouted up four or
ave feet through the hole made in the
bottom OF the ship.
The records in the Navy Department do
not explain the accident. but the hole was
soon plugged and new sheet OF steel
placed over the defect. The theory is
that the steel rcd struck a rivet which
was not thoroughly clinched OF struck a
biow-hole from cinder, for at that time
the rolling OF steel plates was still in a
formative process. and It is possible
that a cinder was so rolled IN the sheet
that the blow OF a steel umbrella pierced
the side Of the ship. making the hole suf-
hciently large 10 sink the vessel II Il had
not been closed.
The most interesting feature about this
strange accident is that a newspaper cor
respondent who accompanied the party
thought the vessel had been wrecked. and
FASTENED to the telegraph oficeto file his
story. The story reached his Office. but
before the presses were started the order
came 20 kin it, and influence sufficient
was brought to bear to keep it out Of the
papers. Whitney probably would not
have grieved greatly had It become known,
for the Dolphin was built during the term
Of his predecessor. William z. Chandler.
The naval officers were the ones who were
anxious TO keep the story out OF print. for
IL would have reflected on their inspection
and acceptance Of the vessel.

A Nonpartisan Speaker.

From the PhilsdslrhiA Public Ledger
One Of the most interesting OF the
suggestions which have grown out of the
revolt against what is loosely called
"Cannonism' is that made in Washing
ton the other day for the election OF a
parliamentary expert, not a member of
the body, 10 preside over the delibera-
tons of the National House OF Repre-
sentatives The proposal is rather weight
ed by the fact that 1t originates with the
insurgents" OF the House, and because
it presumably could only be carried into
effect by the same revolutionary methods
as were invoked to eliminate the Speaker
from membership in the Committee on
Rules. Nevertheless, the plan of having
a nonpartisan Speaker has great deal
TO commend It to the common sense OF
the House and Of the country, and * It
could be coupled with the reorganization
of the seating arrangements of the hail
Of the House there might be some hope
Of restoring the popular branch Of the
National Legislature to some appearance,
at least. of a deliberative assembly.

Indiana Republicans DOdging,

Two Republican Congressional conven-
lions have been held in Indiana. One OF
them, that OF the Indianapolis district
lodged a platform Of any sort by ad-
5ourning before its committee on resolu-
tons could report That was a cowrdly
thing to do. 1t will make or save no
votes. but serve only TO plague the
candidate throughout the campaign. The
other convention. which nominated Mr.
Crumpacker. adopted a platform intended
10 meet the exigencies Of an ennbarrass-
ing political situation, but which. as the
Indianapolis Star aptly observes, will
not satisfy the insurgents or the stand
patters." It's strongest plank is its first
one:
we heartily indorse the administration
of President Taft and commend his
earnest endeavors along safe and sane
lines to secure the faithful fulillment Of
the party pledges
This is an expression which stand
patter and insurgent alike can at once
and honestly indorse. It is truthful. No
1air-minded man. Republican OF Demo-
erat familiar with affairs, doubts for
moment President Tafrs earnest en-
deavors along safe and sane lines to Sc
cure the faithful fulfIlment Of the party
pledges"
But Mr.. Crumpacker's convention, in
commencing the Payne law as "a sub
stanual step in the fulhllment OF the
pledge of the party" and coupling with
II the assurance that he AIr. Crum-
paczer) stands for a greater reduction
in the schedules along Republican lines"
condemns the act as clearly as IL indorse-
ment had been withheld. As well have
gone on record against the legislation
Faint praise given in q half4hearted, re-
luctant way viii not reconcile dissatisfied
voters or give them confidence in the
further fulhllment OF the party pledge.
The candidate in Indiana or elsewhere
who meets the issue boldly. whether for
or against the new tariff, win fare the
better at the polls. no doubt. Fortu-
nately for Mr.. Crumpacker his known
views, supported by his record. are suf-
heient to relieve him Of the handicap Of
an evasive, unsatisfactory platform.

Excessive Relief.

The extremity Of Congressional lib
erality appears to be attained in a
bin introduced in the Senate providing
that any citizen of the United States
suffering from tuberculosis shall. upon APP
plication. be admitted for treatment to
| the tuberculosis hospitals now operated
by the government in New Mexico. -
There are two such institutions in that
Territory operated for the benefit of per-
sons in the government service, one by the
Marine Hospital branch and the other by
the army. There is a similar tuberculosis
hospital in Colorado operated by the ma
val surgeons. which seems to have es-
capped mention In the Senate bill. The
measure proposes that patients admitted
under its provisions shall receive the
treatment upon payment OF only the &C
tual and necessary expenses Of such
treatment and subsistence. The author
OF this bill can have no proper
appreciation Of the extent of tubercular
affection. No one knows how many peo-
pie in this country have the disease. but
the medical officers of the army and navy
estimate that there cannot be less than
all events. the statistics show that 100000
people die every year as a result of the
disease. Considering that the expense of
treatment and subsistence is purely
nominal, it is imaginable that the de-
mands upon the New Mexico institutions
would far surpass any OF the accommo-
dations existing at those places.
The proposition is entirely in the inter-
est of humanity, and IL the Idea could be
carried out it would be one 10 which no
objection should be raised; but the hos
pitfalls at Fort Stanton and Fort Bayard.
in New Mexico. and at Las Animas, in
Colorado. are now well filed with those
for whom the hospitals were established
and who are admitted 10 treatment by
virtue OF existing legislation. To increase
the facilities, It would be necessary
greatly TO enlarge the institutions at pre-
sumably much expense. There Is moth
ing in the bill to provide for this neces-
sity, so that, IN the end. the bill is only
partially effective. It may be a step in
the right direction, although those who
are engaged in the laudable purpose of
eradicating tuberculosis have come to the
conclusion that very satisfactory results
can be obtained at home by regulations
which include living in the open air and
adopting the proper diet. II the govern
ment is TO take action OF q practical
sort for the benefit Of tuberculosis pa
tents. It would be better TO encourage, at
places nearer home than are the institu-
tons IN New Mexico, the individual sur
roundings and everyday habits Of sanl-
tation for individuals; and this can best
be done by the PRONUNCIATION of simpler
rules with which nearly everybody may
comply. certainly without the cost Of
going 10 a distant region. with its attend
ant separation from home ties and as
sOciatiOns.
The authors Of this particular Senate
bill mean well. but their object is des-
tined TO be frustrated by their failure to
take into consideration the comparatively
limited facilities in New Mexico and the
vast extent Of the trouble they seek to re-
lieve

The American Type.

From Leslie's Magazine
Is there a distinctive American type?
Scientists for years past have been quar-
reling over the question. Prof. Franz
Boas, of Columbia University, holds that
while there may not now De a type dis
tinctively American. we are rapidly ap-
preaching a uniform fusion Of the races
that seek a home in this land of freedom
He has shown that the children OF alien
races born in this country show a very
marked physical and mental change, and
that the amalgamaton Of these races is
producing uniform type of offspring
Prof Boas IS known among scientific cir
cles as an explorer. geograp her, and an
thropologist. He was born in 1858 In
Westphalia and was educated abroad. In
1883 he explored Baf1n Land His work
was highly successful. His services were
sought by many well-known museums
He has done considerable for the Smith
sonian Institution and was chief assistant
Of the department of anthropology In
the Worlds Columbian Exposition In 1893
In 1895 he was attached to Columbia Uni
versity. He is a member OF many noted
scientific societies and author Of several
books.

Mileage for Congressman.

From tbs Indianapolis News
Representative Cox thinks that II is
wrong for Senators and Representatives
to be drawing mileage from the govern
ment at the present rate-2O cents a
mile. He has introduced two bills, the
effect of which would be to substitute a
5-eent rate for that now prevailing. Even
this sum would. as Mr.. Cox shows. more
than pay the cost of the trips to and
from Washington. The grant of mileage
vas never intended as r supplement TO
salaries. On the contrary it was meant
simply to cover travelling expenses, which
IS about all it did in the early days
Now, when men can travel for cents
mile, 1t is absurd and wrong to pay
them 20 cents. In a letter to Mr. Ken
nedy, chairman of the mileage commit
tee, asking for hearing, Mr.. Cox says:
Twenty cents a nile is excessive. Five cents a
nile would more than cover all legitimate travelling
expenses including tickets beTths and meals A
CONGRESSMAN who travel 70 miles would be allowed
under my bill SIS each way. A simple mathematical
calculation VIII show that he travel that dis
lance. al expenses included. for less than SIS.
We hope that Mr.. Cox may be able TO
put an end TO this mileage graft. But
we are not sanguine.
