Cant. Hobson and the Navy.

Noting the fact that Japan has a def
tcit. the New York Tribune expresses
the fear that Representative Hobson may
find in 1t another menace to the peace OF
the United States.
Sh! Don't stir the captain on that SUBJ
ject He seems to have quieted down OF
late. The time when we were to hear
the hoofbeats Of the Japanese horseman
| riding this way has passed. and not
beat was heard. Not q warlike sound
broke the stiffness. Japan has troubles
Of her own without looking In our direc-
ton: and we troubles OF our own without
looking in her direction. AS a prophet
with Japan for text, Capt Hobson stands
patheticaliy discredited.
On other matters. however. he has a
clear vision. and Is useful public serv-
ant. He participated In this years
Maine campaign In favor OF the enforce
ment Of law. and addressed large audi
ences. The Pine Tree folk had forgotten.
or forgiven him. his obsession about
Japan. They welcomed him as q friend
Of good government. and, though by a
very narrow margin. Endorsed the cause
he advocated.
AT the coming session Of Congress we
shall probably see Capt. Hobson in good
! form on the subject Of the navy. His
large information there stands him we'll

be done to keep the country strong on
the deep blue sea. he knows what he is
talking about
And. what Is more, his Views are broad.
He believes In big navy. He knows
what other nations are doing In that
line. and feels that we should keep up with
the procession. It is true that In advo-
eating more ships he has Japan some

against him. He would vote liberal

Ohio and Mr.. Taft,

The announcement Tor DIR. Roosevelt
by Chairman Brown Of the Ohio republi-
.. can state committee Is interesting. but
need not alarm the Presidents friends at
home or elsewhere. There should be
cakes and ale for Mr.. Taft, even with Mr..
Brown in opposition.
A bit Of history applies, and may be
cited.
In 1892 Mr. Cleveland, then resident
Of New York, was In the field for another
nomination. but was opposed by the DEM
ocratic organization of that state. Tam
many Hall was especially bitter and &C
tive. and gave its support to David B.
Hill, whom 1t did not like. The cry was
anything to beat Cleveland.
When the New York democrats, under
this inspiration. met and instructed for
Mr.. Hill. the anti-C.eveland men all over
the country were much heartened. Surely.
it was thought. the national convention
will not dare put up a man against whom
his own state is arrayed.
But this was a mistaken calculation.
The friends Of Mr.. Cleveland accepted
the challenge, and replied that the old
leader was not parochiai in his standing
in his party. or before the country. He
was national in every sense. Besides.
was the party willing, or could It afford
to accept a candidate, however able and
pc: sonally worthy, at the hands Of such
an organization as Tammany?
The answer was. No. The early con-
vention in New York-called the snap
convention-proved the undoing Of Mr..
Hill and the making Of Mr.. Cleveland.
Democrats elsewhere who had been wa
vering went over to Mr.. Cleveland through
the force Of the argument. Some Of them
did not like him Some had been denied
patronage by him. But when Tammany
was considered M Hills candidacy be-
came impossible.
So In the case now Of Mr.. Taft He is
not parochial in his standing, either in
his party or before the country. While a
citizen Of Ohio, he may not be denomi-
mated as merely Buckeye aspirant for
next years republican nomination. Doubt
less he and his friends want the home
support, and there Is every probability
that 1t will be secured for him. But fail
ure there would not put him out OF the
running. He is a national entrant, and
his fate is not In Ohio's hands.
Mr.. Brown, we are told, is a friend of
George B. Cox. So much the better for
Mr.. Taft. AS Tammany proved mill
stone al ound the neck Of Mr.. Hill twenty
years ago. SO will Coxism prove around
the neck of any man. no matter how
worthy personally. today. II Coxism. or
anything resembling 1t, were to prevail In
next years republican national conven-
| ton the nomination would not be worth
a tinker's condemnation. Part Of Wood
| row Wilson present strength springs
/; from the fact that Tammany does not
| want him; and surely Mr.. Taft can ask
nothing better than the widest possible
circulation Of the fact that the opposition
| to him in Ohio Is associated with the de-
posed Cincinnati boss.

New York Fire Dangers.

A snort time ago new branch or the New
York FIRE department was organized designed
to lessen the FIRE r.sk by conducting a thor
0ugh investigation into actual conditions
and undertaking to educate building own
ers and occupants in the law Of proven
ton That such a work was needed is
demonstrated by report ju:-t filed with
the mayor by a commissioner OF &C, cunts
who has recently been invesiigat .ng the
bureau of violations" long established
branch of the service. The revelations
which the commiss oner makes show that
there Is the most urgent necessity OF
more than merely educational work. In
respect to theater conditions alone his
disclosures are of a nature to shock the
community. In every one OF the eighty
five places Of amusement inspected viola
tons Of that section Of the building code
which prescribes auxiliary fire appliances
were discovered. For example. water
casks required by the law were in theater
after theater missing or only half filled.
Emergency fire buckets were only partly
filled. and in nineteen of the eighty five
places there was less hose than the law
prescribes, the shortage amounting in all
to 300 feet In some Of the places there
were interior stairways Of wood directly
Az sio1dC-ou VI tu0 law. SOIue Oh the exit
stairways were old and dilapidated From
one gallery the fire escape could be
reached only by an exit upon a peaked
root. down which II was necessary to
slide In many cases the exits were SO
confused that only one familiar with the
premises could find his way. Hose and
extinguishers were hidden and inaccessi-
bic behind masses Of machinery. In gem
eral the commissioner found a shocking
state Of affairs, indicative Of the most
perfunctory enforcement Of the law. In
every instance the theater owner was TAX
Ing his chances. trusting to luck to have
no FIRE.
There is reason to believe that no such
condition exists in Washington. After the
lroquois fire in Chicago several years 40
a thorough overhauling OF the local places
OF amusement sclosed that an excep-
tionally high standard prevailed here, and
that while there were a few lapses they
were In no wise attributable to official
negligence. but were rather the result, O,
inadequate forethought on the part of the
tneater managers. There Is necessarily
danger in every Liace of large assemblase
and II is the purpose Of the law regard.
Ing IRE protect on and prevention to re-
duce that danger 10 the lowest possible
point. In an honestly administered city
suth as Washington the law Is given Its
highest efficiency. and the public receives
maximum OF protection.

The Mist on CAPITOL Hill.

Yon haze that rises DER the Hill
Looks like the smoke of incense fine,
Where men drew near with reverent will
AS worshipers at wisdom's shrine.
We view 1t with the other sights
That here invite the wondering throng;
A sign Of strange. mysterious rites,
Where humble folk do not belong.
But tits not so. That haze so blue
Which all impressively unrolls
Unto a simple cause is due
They're busting out the pigeonholes.
