Ideal Summer Petticoats Of
China Silk and Pongee
1896 to 1896

Quite a clever idea, is it not? And these Petticoats, although
they are cool, are not fimsy, as they are cleverly fashioned with
pleated founces.
As these of natural pongee are designed particularly for wear
under tailored suits of pongee, natural linen. or cloth, they are of
the tailored type-with sidepleated founces, at 1896; Others
with scaloped and eyeet-embroidered founces, $685..
1t IS difficult to imagine daintier petticoats than these of China
silk. Not a whrl of fufs and rufles, but charmngly designed
Petticoats with deep side-pleated founces, to conform with the
straight lines Of Summer frocks. Pink, light blue, lavender,
white and black, $685..
Paris has also sent us China Silk Pettcoats, beautifully trim
med with Valencennes lace. Exquisite! Pink, light blue, Law

SHALL OUR ADMIRAL SAY HE
GROWING OLDi

Shall the victor of Manila bay sur
render to the menace of three score and
thirteen years? This is not the news
we had hoped or expected from our
gallant admiral. There was a touching
thoughtfulness and consideration on
the part of the President in rendering
to Admiral Dewey the honor of rep
resenting the naval branch of the Gov
ernment service at the ceremonies in
the great abbey on the occasion of the
coronation of Britain's yet new king.
Time has not so dimmed the achieve
ments of that May morning, back in
'9S, but what in the midst of all the
pomp and pageantry this really heroic
figure in our modern annals would
have attracted attention. His name
would have shed luster upon the
scenes in which many kings and en-
perors, many veterans Drowned in
service by land and sea, will partici-
pate His eye is not dim nor his
natural strength abated. He moves
about among his friends and admirers
in the National Capital with an elastic
step and an alertness of mind which
make it seem that it was but yesterday
he cut the cables and did the work
which lay before him without luster
or delay.
1t is not difficult to understand that
he has seen enough of pomp, pride,
and glorious circumstance in all its
forms. One can imagine that he would
feel bored by the interminable func-
tions at which he would have to mingle
his laurels with the fruitless straw
berry leaves and rub elbows with
yearling viscounts. Having seen how
easily one empire could be wiped from
the map he might be disposed to smile
rather indulgently at imperial parade.
But old? Perish the thought! Not as
a memory but as a man he continues
green in the hearts of his countrymen.
That velvet voice of his still has at
least the strength to give some quiet
order, such as, you may fire when
you are ready, Gridley." Far be it
from us to quarrel with any decision
which keeps him with us, but we can
not permit him to offer as an excuse
that the burden of his years sits heavily
upon him.

ANOTHER PROTEST AGAINST
TOO MUCH LENIENCY
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

tn the Editor of THE TIMES:
I am heartily in accord with the views
EXPRESSED by the writer of an article
IN a recent issue of The Times, protest
ing against the action of one of our
criminal courts in allowing sneak
thief. who confessed to the robbSng OF
nine residences, to go unpunished. IL was
not one act of theft, IT was a contlnu-
Gus series of thefts, extending over
neriod of several weeks, for which TINS
man pleaded guilty, and this remunera-
tive occupation would, doubtless. have
heen carried on by him indefinitely. II
he had not luckily been apprehended.
If the plea of 'first offense" Is per-
mitted to become an excuse for the COM
mission of crime, then 1t can well De
seen that there will be nothing to deter
others from the commission OF their
Gus character this excuse should GER
tainly not be countenanced by trlDu-
nal Of justice, at least to such an ex-
tent as to render the offender immune
from any punishment whatever. Such
a plea should. in any case. serve rather
In mitigation than in elimination OF pun
ishment
Such justice at the hands of one OF our
local justices, who ordinarily metes out
punishment to the criminal with stern,

ing. and makes one feel that equal and

THE BOLD PLAY OF LIMAN.
TOUR IN MEXICO.

The resignation of the entire Diaz
cabinet suggests strongly that Min
lister of Finance Limantour is to have
his way in framing the future policy
of the country. 1t is stated that of
all the cabinet members he is the one
most likely to be retained in the re-
organized ministry. If so, he will re-
main on his own terms; and he had
told the world just what those terms
are; told it with a boldness which
seems inconceiyable unless he is Ger
tain that the country and the worlds
financial powers are at his back.
Lmantour has returned to Mexico
delegated by the great interests which
hold investments there to bring order
and security back to the country. Not
even the iron-willed Diaz can stand
against the powers that are arrayed
behind the Limantour demand for re-
forms and concessions that will placate
the people. Limantour knows Just
what backing he can count upon.
Without doubt he has turned the
American military demonstration to
good account in furtherance of his
plans to impose a new policy on the
country.
Mexico is to be rescued from the
revolution by making concessions to
the popular demand for more liberties
and less graft; at least, that will be
done if it is not already too late. Back
of Madero there is an array of money
interests which probably would like
to make him president. But Limantour
has another financial force on his side,
and he is playing boldly for the suc-
cession. 1t may not be his plan to
make himself president. He wants to
be at least the power behind the
throne, if not its occupant.
The Diaz cabinet that has resigned
is in the Mexican mind representative
of about everything the old regime
made most Objectionable. 1t is be-
lieved that Reyes, now in Paris, may
be brought back as member of the
new cabinet. This would be a great
concession to the opinion of the coun-
try, for Reyes is popular with the
people who most object to the program
of Diaz.
Apparently Diaz, old and broken, is
to be allowed to save his face by form,
ing government that will carry out
the terms which Limantour brought
home from the financial capitals of the

CITES INSTANCES REGARDING
YOUTHFUL HOODLUMISM
o the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
I have been watching and waiting for

pathy with Mr.. Russell, who writes conf

borhood. l can write such a letter, as

Then as they did not cease to skate

I did not own the house, moved, not
caring to talk more.
Again a relative has her life made
miserable by boys who attend a Cath

WHY MEMORIAL FUNDS
~ COME. IN so SLOWLY

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The project of the new memorial hall
to the memory Of the Father of His
Country, to be built soon, reminds one
of the way the home of Washington
was bought.
The project was started by Miss Cum
ningham. Public subscriptions were
taken up all over the United States. The
plan was that the tomb was to be the
property of the United States and that
there shouldn't be any disgraceful fea-
lures there, like fee. fake relics, boat
and car monopoly, etc.
Edward Everett alone gave $4,000 dol
lars, school children all over the United
States gave there dimes and pennies (by
way of thanks they are kept out of the
grounds.
The memorial hall was started by
Miss Dimock, of New York Public sub
scriptions were taken up by different
lodges and societies all over the United
States. The Chamber of Commerce cali
ed mass meetings for the purpose.

LIBERAL SCHOOL POLICY FOR
THE DISTRICT.

One of the important reasons for a
broad-gauged, highly intelligent House
District Committee, whose members
shall be experienced in municipal gov,
ernment, is offered by the school prob
lem of Washington. Although the
school system has been much improved
in the last few years, particularly by
the construction of a number of new
buildings, it is susceptible of further
Improvement
Primarily, the upbuilding of the
schools will occupy the attention OF
the new District Committee. Incident
ally, it will be called upon to play an
important part in the settlement OF
the controversy between the Board ot
Education and the District Commits,
siOners.
This issue sometimes slumbers, but
it never dies. At frequent intervals il
becomes very much alive. At such
times sparks fly and people get burned
The District Commissioners are almost
certain at their first opportunity to
ask Congress to give them jurisdiction
over the public schools. When they
make this request the Board of Edu,
cation will resist with all its might
1t is not improbable that the new
House District Committee will be the
umpire.
Aside from this problem there are
plenty dealing with the schools them,
selves, and not with their administra.
tion. The new District Committee
should be qualified to handle those
problems intelligently. The people OF
Washington have the right to expect
the new District Committee to be COM
posed of men selected because of their
qualifications for the particular sort
of work the committee will have to
do. The interests of this-eity are too
great to permit the District Committee
to be used as a dumping ground into
which is cast material unsuitable for
the more important committees.

LOAN SHARKS IN THE Gov
ERNMENT SERVICE.

Heads of other bureaus of the Gov
ernment service could, with profit to
the service, follow the example set by
Director Ralph of the Bureau of Print
ing and Engraving, who is striving to
clean the loan sharks out of his es-
tablishment. 1t is no secret that huge
traffic in salary loans at enormous
rates is conducted in the Government
Printing Office, those who make the
loans being themselves employees of the
office 1t is probable other offices are
similarly afflicted.
Although it is true that to drive
the lenders out of the Government
service would only serve to turn the
victims from llow-employes to loan
agents doing a regular business with
offices in the city, they should never
tbeless be driven out. No difficulty
would be encountered by any bureau
head in ascertaining who are the Of
Tending employees, and it ought not to
require much argument to show that
such employees are not fit to serve the
Government. A man whose moral sense
is so blunted as to permit him to seek
and obtain-exorbitan profits from
the misfortunes of his fellowworkers
could not have very high conception
of his duty to his employer.
1t is possible for the executive
branch of the Government to deal with
the loan shark in the Government de-
partments. II is the duty of the legis-
lative branch to deal with the sharks
outside the Government departments.
Congress has failed to enact the legis-
lation necessary TO restrict the charges
of loan agents to reasonable rate,
but this need not deter the heads of
bureaus from ridding their offices OF
them.
The activity of Director Ralph is
commendsble, and it is presumed it
will be followed by similar campaigns
in other bureaus. With one branch
of the Government fighting the loan
shark evil. however, it is ridiculous to
find another branch of the Government
the legislative-defending it by fail
ing-tO stamp it out.
