AS the years roll by we all should
cultivate the spirit manifested by the
government In enlarging the scope of
the pension list. AS intimated above,
this proves that the grateful hearts Of
Americans are touched more tenderly
with a sense Of the debt that we owe
the old soldiers as the years roll by.
Those of us who see the "old boys in
blue" marching through the streets
on Memorial day year by year, can
scarcely miss being struck by a sense
of the weight of years that rests upon
the shoulders of this good gray
army" Remember 1t is more than a
whole generation ago, as human life
goes. almost generation and a half,
since the last recruit was enrolled In
the volunteer army of the Union just
before the war came to its close
There are very few members OF the
Grand Army, very few soldiers of the
Civil war, who are only at the three.
score mark. Indeed, there are not
many of them who are not at the
psalmist's term of life, three score
and ten. There are but few alive who
answered the first call of President
Lincoln. II the new recruit were only
twenty when that call went out, he
is siXty-eight now. The soldier who
was thirty is nearly eighty.
1t is touching thought to think OF
this noble army and look back through
the half-century that is gone by~a and
think of the bright, promising, sturdy
youths with life all before them, with
qulckened pulses, with firm, unwaver,
ing tread that shook the earth in the
lied In the early days Of the war.
When the great review was held near
Washington, after peace was made,

Fire-Fighting; Life-snving.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
| take the pleasure of writing a few
lines to you now, while the public is
aroused at the catastrophe. we had.
NV subject is "Fire-Fighting and Life
Saving" Having devoted some time
studying the fire departments of large
cities and also spent several months at
the United States life-saving stations
on the coast, I wish to inform the pub
lie of the difference in the two systems
The main object of the fire department
is to fight fires and save property and
1t is drilled principally for such, while
life-savers of the coast are drilled to
save lives only. These brave men, who
same man, lives, perhaps more than
the f1remen, care not for the burning
or sinking ship, but only to save those
who are in peril. Ships and buildings
can be built over again and better, but
bodies with souls never. The life
comes, but are ever partrolling the
coast, day and night, sometimes during
the bitterest, coolest and stormiest
weather. often becoming badly FROST
bitten watching for signals of distress.
When the signal is observed by the
patrolman, who is patrolling the coast
for miles to the next station, the watch
man in the tower of the station is noti-
fled by signals of ~skyrockets or sele-
phone. The crew then launch their
boats, which are self-baillng boats. and
do not sink, and, each man to an oar
row, as powerful engines cannot be de-
pended on in storm, toward the wreck
with all their l~ife-saving apparatus
Perhaps if we had some of this system
in our fire departments, many more
lives would probably be saved and
large fires prevented. We have sew
eral thousand firemen and many thou
sand dollars are spent for fire protec-
ton. and still so many lives are lost
compared with the coast wrecks. The
firemen, M doubt, are willing to pre-
vent fires and deaths, provided they
had the system and drilling for suck

If every fire department captain had
full supervision of his district and
could utilize some of his men in the
inspections of his district as to proper
protection, prevention of overstocking of
floors and rooms with infiammable ma
~terials, o~vercrowded rooms, not allow
ing corners, floors or cellars full of rub
bish for months and sometimes years,
many of these fires would not occur.
1t has been stated that we have the
best fire equipment in the world, but we
also have the most fires to make it nee
essary. h idea of having life-saving
battalions is a good one, and ought to
be used In all large cities. They should
be equipped with all paraphernalia for
~life-saving from buildings and carry
extinguishers, rushing ahead in fire
automobiles, arriving before the Others
with the more cumbersome apparatus.
They should. also be trained how to
control people in a fire panic. who lose
their heads and become dazed by the
flames and smoke, unable to help them
selves. These b~attalions would no
doubt prevent many large fires and the
loss of life. Hoping you will find this
useful to publish in your paper, I am,

Bewnre of Neglect.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There is danger by fire and by
flame, but the greatest danger is from
their neglect in every department.
Passing through Beaver street is a
menace to human life. Bricks fall from
the upper stories quite often, as you
can verify by M. Plinus, shipping
clerk. One fell at my rcet only last
Thursday.
In a narrow ~thoroughfare like Beaver
street the whole street should be COW

not even intimate graft enters into
the matter, but I do say that gross in

in the case of the recent fire, has much
to do with the condition of Beaver

Prevention Better Than Cure.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In respect of the recent fire it would
seem that part of the moral RESPONSE
bilitv rests with a section of the public
press, for when reporters have been de-
tailed to get evidence for gambling,
vicious resorts, Sunday closing VIOLA
tons, ETC., and could see all those ana
a hundred other discrepancies IN our
city government, why could mt these
acute minds foresee a possible hor-
ror like this? The assistance given
in past sheriff raids, etc, clearly shows
they could see if they wanted to.
Secondly, in the great reform wave we
have experienced where thousands OF
dollars were spent for sheriff's detect
ives to collect evidence, how prompt
ly they found 1t if a side door was
open, or a dive or crap game LOT
five or six cents up at the other n OF
the county was involved? Why could
not our reformers foresee this fire nor
ror?
The church people, thousands who
have passed this place year after year.
many jealous of each others hnery
caring only for self-advancement and
business, have forgotten they are their
brothers keeper until too late.
Investigations may come and go, but
no publicity or politics, etc, will pre-
vent such happenings until the sub
strata Of public conscience compels it,
for that is what ultimately makes pub
lie servants do full duty to the pub
lie who c-ompensates them. Yours.

IT T appears now. when the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission
is about ready to proceed with its great work after so many
years of obstruction and delay, that the meddlesome and
ltigous persons connected with the Merchants Association in New
York have a new obstruction to resort to. Under their Inspiration
New York city is TO ask to be allowed to intervene in the morlbund
suit by the State of New York against the commission in the United
States Supreme Court. New York city has 306 sewer outlets, by
which it discharges crude sewage at the surface of the water of the
river and bay, and its position is that, as the bay is contaminated
to this extent by New York city itself, it would be wrong for New
Jersey municipalities bordering on the bay to have any sewer outlet
of any kind, even for the discharge of screened sewage forty feet
under the waters of the bay and within the jurisdiction of New
Jersey. There is an old principle of law that the plaintiff must go
into court with clean hands. What kind of hands can New York
city show when it asks to intervene in the suit in the Supreme
Court? Is it not monumental gall for a municipality to acknowl-
edge thatjti is pouring into the bay from 800 outlets solid as well as
liquid sewage and demand that it shall be confirmed in that priv
Iege and that the municipalities of another State that have equal
rights in the bay shall be debarred?

A Plea for Early Shopping.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is to be hoped hat the average
man and woman who intends to call
on Santa Claus as he is found in the
big stores will heed the gentle admoni-
ton of the banner strung across Broad
street near the -Four Corners" that
for the sake of the health of the em-
ployees of these stores they will do
their shopping before December Is. 1t
is to be expected that nothing of the
sort will be done.
The gentle admonition. like many an
other gentle admonition excellent in
theory, will not work out in practice.
The greatest joy of the coming of
Santa Claus is that he is a store-house
of pleasant surprises. How can the
average parent for ten days before his
coming keep secret from the children
the gifts thai the good old fellow has
in store?
Then there are thousands of parents
who can not afford to buy until santa
Claus is at the very door. #. b.

A Relic of Antiquity.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The elections in England are now
in progress, and the result Is Of great
interest to the entire world. Why Eng
land, which is really one of the most
democratic of countries, tolerates that
relic of ancient times, the House OF
Lords, is a puzzle to everybody. Why,
the lords can kill any bill that they do
not like, and why the bill cannot be
passed over their veto Is hard to under
stand by persons on this side of the
water. The House of Lords should be
reformed. 1t will be reformed. 1t
seems to us in this country that the
political parties in England get at
things the wrong way if they really
want reform. The Conservatives, who
stand for the lords as they are now,
also stand for protection. The Liberals,
who want reform, also want home rule
for ireland. Now, Their are some Con-
s~ervatives who want to see the House
of Lords reformed, but will not vote
for the Liberals because they favor
home rule. There are also some indie
pendent voters who ave the balance of
power who feel the same way about
home rule for ireland n the reform
of the lords. Why do not the parties
make the reform a straight issue? They

AN INDEPENDENT THEATRICAL CIRCUIT.

m NEW theatrical organization proposes the establishment of a
IN circuit of forty popularpriced theatres in the principal!
cities of the United States and Canada. Contracts have
already been made for theatres in Newark, Baltimore and Washing
ton, d. G. In Newark one of the existing theatres is to be taken.
The corporation will equip the circuit with forty dramatic com
panies, including melodrama, society plays and musical comedies
and farces, these attractions to succeed each other in each of the
houses belonging to the circuit. Other city theatres can join the
circuit and will be granted the franchise to operate their shows in
the other theatres of the circuit. If the attractions presented in
this new circuit are of a character TO compare with those of the
theatrical trust the enterprise ought to be a good paying investment.
If they ar of inferior quality the investment will be a losing one.

THE NAVAL

O. ECRETARY OF THE NAVY MEYER, in his annual report,
makes the recommendation for two additional battleships,
according to program, and the abandonment of several navy
yards that are useless to the department. 1t has long been known
that political and local business interests have prevailed at Wash
ington to maintain navy yards that are of no practical use to the
navy and could not be utilized in time of war. By cutting off
this unnecessary large expense annually, the department will
be enabled to improve the facilities in the remaining navy yards
and establish new and necessary stations for Quitting our ships.
The recommendation by the secretary that Peary, the discoverer of
the North Pole, be retired with the rank of admiral will meet the
cordial approval of the country. If Peay's great exploit is not
worth that reward to the government he represents it may be held
to be worth nothing to Congress. The naval estimates for the year
total $127067 800, a decrease of nearly four million dollars from the
last appropriation.

THE PASSING OF A HIGH PRIEsTEsS.

MAJ RS. EDDY. the venerable founder and head of the Christian
AVN Science Church, which has had such an extraordinary
growth in the United States, has just passed away in her
ninetieth year. She was a rare woman spiritually and mentally.
Only the rarest of beings could have created the great cult that has
obtained such a strong hold upon a multitude of people, nearly all
intelligent and educated and many of them highly endowed in
tellectually. BY the organization of the church all power is lodged
i'm the mother church at Boston. Schsm has already appeared and
been squelched by mother church authority and the mandate Of
Mrs. Eddy. Now that the high priestess is no more the magic of
her name is not to be invoked and the carefully preserved mystery
of her presence can no longer be used to impress the devout fol
lowers. In the natural order of things schism will reappear. The
Developments in the future history of Christian Science will be fol
