It's the Man
And Not the Uniform.

For several years there has been a
great deal Of talk about there being
prejudice against the uniform of the
: American soldier In fashionable the
aires, cafes and dance halls and other
similar places where there are public
gatherings. but we always did believe
/. that II was not the uniform that was
! objected to. but the conduct Of the
persons wearing the uniform
To prove for his own satisfaction
whether or not there was any prejudice
against the uniform OF the soldier Gen.
eral Frederick ID. Grant selected three
enlisted men at Fort Hamilton and
sent them to New York to visit such
places as It had been said the uniform
was not allowed. The soldiers detailed
for the experiment were gentlemen.
! They were handsome and manly look
ing and wore uniforms which were well
fitted and clean.
They first visited the Waldorf AS
toria hotel and politely requested the
clerk to direct them 10 the main dining
room. This he did quite readily and
seemed to be rather proud of the duty
assigned to him. The order Of the
three soldiers for breakfast was taken
and they were served with an urbanity
that indicate that their presence was
not unwelcome.
They went to Sherrys for luncheon
and were shown to the choicest seats
in the house and were served not only
with care, but without attracting any
special attention. The same thing was
repeated when at night they wnet to
! Delmonico's for dinner. and afterwards
when they went TO the theater, where
they were given good seats. In the
course of their movements in New
York they were pleased to hear many
complimentary remarks made upon
their neat appearance and manly fig
ures and nowhere was anything said
or done that could be regarded as
prejudice against the uniform OF the
army.
General Grant was delighted at the
outcome OF his test and comments
thusly: THE clean, well behaved SOL
der. even when in uniform, will be
welcome at any tirst-class place so long
as he behaves like a gentleman" and
he adds that the ungentlemanly kind
were being eliminated from the service.
1t would indeed be a pity II the
uniform Of the American soldier denied
him the privileges Of the average citi-
zen and The Journal is glad to know
that 1t does not. As a matter of fact
there have been men who have dis
graced the uniform and in way have
caused the average person not to give
soldiers the respect which a majority
of them deserve, but the gentlemanly
soldier. has the same privileges of the
average citizen and is not Disseminated
against.
AS an example OF this we may take
the sailors uniform. When the ships
were here recently some OF tho blue
Jackets were shown quite a bit Of at
tention by the citizens here, while the
police showed another class some at
tention.
Gentlemanly conduct IL never lost.
1t is recognized in the person wearing
the uniform just as quick as 1t is In
the person in citizens clothes. The
objectionable characters. no matter
what their dress may be. are not
wanted in any place where respectable
people are.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo-Amer-
lean and the Direct u. S. companies
will bring the eight cables Of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such inn
provements and introduce such new
services as It proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost Of
many millions, when there are mo7e
than ample facilities for all busine 5,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or introduction
Of new services.

Republicans
Realize Defeat.

One or the gtaunch Republican Pa
pers, the New York Mail. Is alarmed
over the Republican situation and calls
upon the leaders of the party to DC
something to stem the tide which IL
sweeping toward Democracy. To carry
out its contentious the New York pa
per refers to a table which It publishes
and claims that It indicates heavy
Democratic majority for president In
| the electoral college.
Going into detail, the Mail says:
1.-TWO years ago such tremendous re-
versal in both branches of congress
would have seemed impossible; predic-
ton OF It would have been regarded as
absurd Yet 1t has come to pass. and.
unlike the experience after the equally
violent shock to Republicanism In
1892, the people give no sign OF return
ing to the old control The Democrats
in congress have not made asses Of
themselves, as they did in those days.
They seem to be sane; they may prove
to be SAFE" and then asks do Repub-
licans realize that the president is all
that is left at washington of the wreck
of 1902
The Mail sees defeat all right. but
1t does not attempt TO say why the
change has come about 1t does not
say that standpatism cannot fool the
people any longer. but bemoans the
fate Of the party which has long been
in power.
Continuing it says:
It may not be Mr.. Taft's fault that a
La Toilette stands in the way OF Re-
publican solidarity; 1t may not be Mr.,
Taft's fault that in the breakup OF
party lines since his inauguration as
president the drift of aggressive senti-
ment has been against him. Dispose
of that question as you may. the dis
quieting fact remains that chaos rules
the Republican partv at Washington;
that no voice carries with 1t the po-
tency of command; no counsel pos
sesses the inspiring quality of leader
ship.
A Republican national platform
would have to deal only with the dis
tant past, In order to secure unanimous
support in convention today; not even
the record OF the past two years could
command such q vote.
There can be no victory at the polls
for a Republican presidential candidate
under such conditions. Unless there Is
change, the people will surely con-
tinue to drift where the PRESIDENT
compliments have gone, and 1912 win
take it's place in political history along
side of 1392-a worthy president, a
splendid administration, prosperous
year. but q most overwhelming defeat.
Mr.. Taft may be a worthy president.
his administration may be an ideal
one. the high prices of living may
mean a prosperous year, according to
the Mails way of thinking but II there
was ever time when defeat should be
the outcome of an administration Pres
ident Taft's should be the one.
He was elected because he misrep-
resented his policies and himself to
the people. During the last campaign
the people were ready for progressive
candidate and Mr.. Taft said he was
such a person. il the reason he was
given trial. He has proven untrue
to his promises and ought to be re-
tired.
It IL not surprising that the Mail can
see defeat in front Of the Republican
party, but it ought to see the reason
quite as quickly.

Proposed Modification Of
Existing Arrangements

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Gable
Company and the Direct u. S. Gable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oPer-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and econonI-
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of netU
forms of service to the advantage of
the public.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

As at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, t e. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only few business hours Of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75% Of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called

Monopoly of Cable

sible. The three systems-the

Mackay-will continue to exist.

ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control of various companies

make up the Maekay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.

segregated units, viii be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
transatlantic cable business:

tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful

In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all transatlantic
cable companies.

STOPPING y BANK RUN.

Many years ago, in consequence OF
a commercial panic, there was a Sc
we're run on a bank in South Wales
and the small farmers jostled each
other in crowds to draw out their
money. Things were rapidly going
from bad to worse when the bank
manager in a fit of desperation. sud
denly bethought himself of an expe-
dent. BY his directions a clerk, hav-
ing heated some sovereigns in a fry
ing pan. paid them over the counter
to an anxious applicant. why, they
are quite hot" said the latter as he
took them up.
"Of course" was the reply, "what
else could you expect? They are only
just out of the mold. We are coin
ing them by hundreds as fast as we
can."
"Coining them" thought the SIM
pie agriculurist; "then there is no
fear of the money running short"
With this their confidence revived
the panic abated and the bank was
enabled to weather the storm-Lon-
don Globe.

WHY DO THEY?

Some rather important person once
asked why it was that men married
Lillian Russell. 1t was a somewhat
bootless witticism, for, after all, the
point is not, or was not, so very diff
ficult Of comprehension. A pronounc-
ed personal pulchritude is a great al
lurement, and most men are suscep-
tible to 1t. We may understand why
men, generally speaking, should mar
ry a plump and placid blonde beauty
when the opportunity presents itself,
despite the encouragement that may
offer in the beauty's previous expert
ences. But there Is another problem
of similar nature that seems more
difficult Of comprehension. Why do
women marry Nat Goodwin?
or course, 1t may be taken for
granted that there will be a decline
In the practice sooner or later. The
time will inevitably come-say in
twenty-five or thirty years-when wo-
men will no longer be marrying Nat,
or getting a divorce from him. Time
always brings many changes in Gus
