ARMY MAY ABSORB
ENGINEERS OF NAVY
Measure Before Senate Com
mite Which Has This
End In View.

That one % the surprises Of this ses-
sion OF Cong-es may &c the reporting
Of an amendment by the Senate Com
mittee on Naval Affairs providing for
the transfer Of the corps Of civil enEi-
neers OF the navy 70 the army corps u

tiers.
It has leaked out that such an amend
mcnt is now before the committee, but
che influences which are apt 20 array
themselves for or against IL is a matter
which is producing considerable speco-
Iation.
It is on account Of the fact that the
corps is but little known out c. naval
circles that legislative and departmental
acts have appeared 10 be out Of regular
form. and have OCcasiOned some con-
fusion in the mind Of the public As
an illustration Of this, because Of an
old law prOyiding that army engineers
should remove distractions from har-
bOrS the bill for raising the Maine was
passed with an amendment which placed
the work under the arny-WOrk peculiar
" pertaining 10 the navy for both pro-
fessiOnal and sentimental reasons.
The Maine incident has given rise
to no little discussion, and doubtless
had an effect IN leading I'D 10 the
before the Senate committee calling
for the amalgamatiOn OF the two
corps OF engineers
What is believed to be a more direct
reason, however. Tor the proposed
condemnation was the passage by the
House Of the amended army engi-
neerS' bill This amendment provides
that the President can appoint any
army engineer TO take charge Of any
public works under the Government
It is pointed out that II there is no
need for the engineers Of the navy.
they should be abolished. and that the
easiest way to accomplish this is 70
bury them IN the more powerful CORDS.
The navy corps has been in existence
about forty years. II developed the
modern dry dock and floating dry dock
in this country. and. in addition. has 70
do with sea walls, slips, basins, power
plants, shops, StOrehouSes, Offices,
streets, sewers, waterworzs, etc
II is believed that the naval authori-
ties may interpOSe an objection on the
ground that IL would place public
works at navy yards and navy stations
under the War Department

SENATOR NEWLANDS ADJ
MONISHES THE DEMOCRATS.

Senator Newlands of Nevada, in the
course of the discussion of the question
of Government control of railroad
capitalization, gave the Democrats in
the Senate a warning which they will
do well to ponder over. Senators
Bailey, Rayner, and Hughes, of the
Democratic side, had been expOundine
the constitutional obstacles in the path
of Federal regulation of the issues OF
railroad securities. To them, such
regulation seems impossible.
The platforms of both parties speak
out in favor of such regulation, thus
indicating pretty plainly what are the
sentiments of the public on the propo-
sitiOn. Yet when it came to voting
on the Dolliver amendment, to control
capitalization, only four Democrats
Senators Chamberlain. Newlands. Pur-
cell, and Stone-voted for it.
One would think that in view of the
stand Of both parties on this question
constitutional lawyers in Congress
whether Republican or Democrat, would
devote their energies, not to finding
obstacles, but to discovering how to
surmount them; to seeking some way
to effect a thing obviously needed in
the public interest. The Senate Demo.

CURTISS DISTANCES THE
FASTEST TRAINS.

Impressive in every particular is the
wonderful fight Of Glenn H. Curtiss
from Albany to New York. In al
respects, it emphasizes the fact that
the day is at hand when the airship is
entitled to be considered, not as play.
thing, but as a highly useful, practical
piece of constructive mechanism. Nc
man can say what are the limits OF
its field of usefulness or where develop
ment is going 10 cease.
Probably the fact that viii impress
the average man most foreefully about
the trip is the high speed achieved by
the daring sailor of the air. He few
faster than the fastest trains and the
time he was actually in flight to cover
a distance of l37 miles was l52 min
utes. Paulhan's fight from London TO
Manchester, ls6 miles, was outdone in
speed and danger.
Few stretches of country, outside of
the high mountain regions, could be
picked out more difficult for airship
flight. This Is because of the treach-
erous air currents that run in all di-
rections, Unexpectedly, in the at1nos-
phere above the Hudson, and the billy,
wooded, broken region through which
it passes, Mr.. Curtiss has not only
well earned the $1,000 prize that be-
longs to him, but he has set a pace for
the aeronauts of the world to follow.

Sheppard'S Amendment.

T HE proposition of putting a refer
ence to the Deity in the Constitu-
ton has come up into prominence once
more Representative Morris Sheppard
of Texas is the man back Of it. He has
secured promise Of a hearing before
a subcommittee Of the House Commit
tee on judiciary.
It is pretty thoroughly realized that il
this question ever goes to the country.
on proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution, 1t will carry hands down. Cen
tlemen IN state Legislatures may iE-
weigh against an income tax amend
ment. but Sheppard is confident they
would not dare oppose his proposition.
Mr.. Sheppard's position IS that the
Constitution is the only great American
state document that does not contain
q recognition OF the Divine power His
advocacy Of this amendment recalls the
fact that he was prominent in stirring
up in the House the agitation to have
the words, In God We Trust put back

WILL MR.. ROOSEVELT SUP
PORT THE INSURGENTS?

No small degree of excitement has
been stirred up by the disclosure of
the fact that former President Roose-
welt has written a letter TO Representa-
tive Hamilton Fish. in which Mr.. Fish,
an insurgent, has been asked to meet
Roosevelt Immediately after his arrival
in New York. The language of the
letter is such as to lead to the infer
ence that Mr.. Roosevelt sympathizes
with the insurgents, but is not pre-
pared to submit his sentiments TO
paper. Needless to say, the letter has
caused JOY in the camp of the insur-
gents and some nervousness and anx-
iety in the camp of the regulars.
The letter has brought out more
clearly than before, though it was by
no means unknown prior to the receipt
Of it, that the utmost efforts are going
to be put forth to get Mr.. Roosevelt
10 align himself with each of these
factions. Insurgents will try to get
him TO commit himself to them, and
regulars will endeavor to get him to
take his stand on their side.
1t is impossible to predict, inasmuch
as Mr.. Roosevelt alone can determine
it, which course the former President
viii take. 1t may safely be forecast,
however, that he is not going to be
in a hurry about committing himself.
He is likely to want to study con-
ditions here at first hand.
Mr.. Roosevelt has always been a
pretty good organization man so far
as his politics is concerned, despite his
display of independence at times and
his reputation for being foe to boss
ism. So, it IS conceivable he viii try
to bolster up the Republican regulars
and the organization. That his sym
pathies really lie with the insurgents
or progressives will hardly be doubted
by those who know his views of things
intimately.
There is one phase to the progressive
movement in the Republican party, in
and out of Congress, however, which is
likely to weigh with Mr.. Roosevelt if
he takes times to look the ground over.
1t is this: The progressive movement
has gained vigor, strength, and proper
lions to such an extent that neither
Roosevelt nor any other man can stop
its growth. 1t has powerful moral
force back of it. We can hardly be-
lieve that Theodore Roosevelt, with his
keen grasp of situations, will seek to
block it. If he does, the progressive
movement will not be stopped, but
Mr.. Roosevelt's great prestige will find
itself shattered. Believing Mr.. Roose-
welt will realize this, we do not expect
to see him making war on the insur-
gent movement.
