the individuality of covering an entire

development into architecture of the half
timbered construction, which divides the
cement work into panels, the divisions Of

The millwork in the English design, II
true to original conceptions should be very

The American idea seems to be inclined to
have more or less carved ornamentstion
upon the cornice work, barge boards doors,
etc, taking the very few examples existing
in England of deliberately carved wood
work as model. 1t is questionable, how
ever, whether deliberately carved panels
increase the beauty OF the half tlmbered
English style and the average man who
builds with limited means should GER
tainly eliminate this excess orBamentation
for II is very expensive. Like art glass
work, II only looks we'll when done by
skilled artists, whose prices are justifiably
much higher than those received by the
ordinary artisan.
The interior OF an English home should
be very plain, unless one is building a
home of Tudor Castle style, in which a
great deal or wood wainscoting, beamed
ceilings and carved ornaments are per-
mtted, for buildings of this description are
very expensive. and should not be consid-

Needless Slaughter of Horses

Fire in stable in Washington on
Monday night destroyed the lives of
nineteen horses. All of them were on
the second floor. More than 80 horses,
on the first floor, were led out unin-
jured. Every horse on the ground floor
escaped, and every horse on the second
floor persisted.
This is not the first instance in Wash
ington in which it has been found i'm
possible in case of fire to rescue horses
confined on the second floor of stable.
Is it not time that the District author.
tiles should stop this needless slaughter?
Aside from the revolving thought OF
burning imprisoned and helpless crea-
lures, the money loss should be con-
sidered The fact that a building is
fireproof does not help matters much,
for the mass of infammable material in
stable makes it certain that horses
kept on upper floors will be strangled
by smoke before they can be rescued.
The only safe method to adopt is to
prohibit the stabling of horses abov
ground floors. This should be done at
once, for reasons that have been made
painfully obvious. Exchange.

a Great National Scandal.

The United States Government ex-
pended from extraordinary taxes and
money borrowed SO, 300, 900, 900 to carry
through the civil war.
Ten years from the close of the war
Gen. Garfield declared that the annual
pension bill had reached its top at the
figure around $35, 100000 and must
thereafter decline with the natural thin
ming of the veterans ranks.
But from the still later date of 1881
the Government has collected and dis
bursed in pensions So, 755, 900, 600. Be-
ginning with the war sixteen years
past, more money has been spent in
pensions on account of that war than
the direct cost of the great struggle.
Yet more than half the Democratic
majority of the House join all save
eight of the Republican minority in vot-
ing to add SIS, 900, 900, year to this
present great tax burden of $3.50, 900, 900
upon the masses of the people. To a
duplication of the first cost of the war
III Tie past thirty years we NOW nave
proposed another duplication within
fifteen years among greatly decreased
number of veterans.
Democratic folly could not make a
worse beginning of the Presidential
canvass. The party in the House has
averted the wrath of the pension lobby.
But how shall it hold the confidence of
the masses already struggling under an
excessive cost of living? 1t has done
its best to create great Taft oppor-
tunity. Will the Republican Senate be
equally kind to the President? New

scholars like Nitobe of the Imperial
University at Toxic and Isakawa, pro-
fessor at Yale University, it aligned
the American university with great
international movements and did it's
part to mediate between Orient and
Occident.
From the strictly New England stand
point, however, there have been even
more significant events than these in
the educational world of late. First
was Harvard's announced determine
ton to relate its life more closly to
that of the city of Cambridge, policy
that has since been formally declared as
binding hereafter at Yale in its attitude
toward New Haven's vexed municipal
issues arising from entirely new eco
nomic and racial conditions. Then came
the inaugural of President Murlin of
Boston University, in which he urged
upon that institution the ideal of far
more vital relation to the city; and that
it become in truth what it ambitiously
is in name, a city university.
Most recent, and in some ways most
significant for New England, is the
utterance of the president of Middle
bury College, who urges a distinct
specialization of the New England
educational institutions in service of the
section wherein they are placed. They
never again will have the same relative
number of students from beyond the
Hudson that they had formerly. Re-
cent statistics at Yale point clearly to
this result. The men who are to be
trained and the funds that support are
hereafter to be more rather than less
from New England. Whether the rev.
enue comes from private donors or
from public treasures matters not so
much as that the colleges and univer-
sites meet the demands of contem-
porary democracy in the way of active
service, expert guidance and formal
