Enemies Of Peace.
From the Army and Navy Journal.


Prof Sidney L. Gulick of the Doshida
University of Japan has suggested to
the International reform bureau the
enactment Of a law for furnishing those
who publish fabricated news Of such
q nature as to disturb the peace of
nations, 'of which the utterly ground
less rumors published by the press in
regard to the combination OF Mexico
and Japan against the United States
are good samples" phis suggestion has
been conveyed to Senator Root, presi
dent of the Carnegie peace foundation,
as one way in which the cause Of peace
might be promoted. While this idea
is not entirely unworthy of common
dalton, still we should like to amend
it in such q way as to include in it's
provisions those peace crusaders who
shout war" every time q movement
is made for increasing the army or
navy of the United States or adding
to our military preparedness. We have
yet to find any military man who has
been responsible for the circulation of
such reports as those covered by Prof.
Gulick's suggestion. but there is a con-
tinual twisting of army reforms and
navy reforms into suggestions Of
belligerency, by those who are loudest
in protesting peace. The launching of
battleship or the passage of bill
for the addition of several regiments
to the army is an inspiration to these
zealots to mount the hustings and
shout that the United States is menac-
ing somebody, that 1T is going around
with a chip on its shoulder, that it is
provoking war, etc. These men are
the most troublesome purveyors of
because. working apparently in the in
terest Of peace, their utterances re-
ceive more attention than they would
otherwise obtain.

Some Base Ball.

1t is not often given to the base ball
patrons of second division" towns to be
enthusiastic over the performances on
the local ball yards, but Washington,
now in the unwonted enjoyment Of a
winning streak that gives promise Of re-
demption from the subcellar class, is
justified in regarding itself with pride.
Yesterday provided fully appreciated
sensation at the big Playground, where
concrete stands and long-range hitting
field combine in one of the best equip
ments in the country. To win a double
header was some glory. But to win
each game in the concluding inning was
the GROWING achievement of the best
base ball day the local public has en-
toyed for many years. And each game
was in itself joy to the hearts of the
regulars. II held its exciting possibii-
ties, its seddening disappointments its
Dad breaks OF the luck, and finally its
good ones One game developed no less
than five run-choking double plays. 1t
also presented the remarkable spectacle
of player stealing first base, and at
forded the umpires a chance to rule on a
virtually unparalleled situation, when
the visiting team had ten men in uniform
on the field at once during play. For
freak situations. weird combinations, pre.
else and skillful playing under handicap
ping by the weather. and above all for
the final results, those two games were
just the kind to prove that after all there
is no sport like base ball. and no city
where it is more keenly appreciated than
the long-suffering but always hopeful
Washington.

The End of the Fight.

The Stars flyless city crusade closed
this morning after two weeks of the most
successful work on the part Of the boys
and girls of Washington Several thou
sand youngsters enrolled themselves in
the army of cleanliness and health, and
between them they have put an end to
the careers of nearly six million flies, a
most stupendous and gratifying result Of
cooperation and competition. In tomor-
rows paper will be announced the win
ners of the twenty-seven prizes. Aggre-
eating 500, which The Star has been
glad to donate to the cause Of public
health.
The good results Of these two weeks of
fly killing are beyond easy calculation.
Not only have flies been killed by the
millions and thus removed from their i'm
mediate activities of disease spreading.
but countless generations of future flies
have been prevented from development.
The immediate progeny of the flies that
have been killed would alone keep Wash
ington in danger of disease and death.
But beyond the direct results Of the
slaughter is the arousing of public inter-
est in the question of fly killing and do
nestle sanitation that this contest has
caused.
By means Of this contest for The Stars
prizes the question Of disease prevention
has been brought squarely home to several
thousand families. The children them
selves have carried their crusade into the
places where the flies have been, through
their numbers and in the circumstances,
the greatest menace to health, the stores
and markets. the lunchrooms and the
kitchens. The little folks have shown the
purveyors OF food the way to avoid the
exposure Of their customers to disease
They have given probably every grocer
man and butcher in the city OF Wash
ington a direct and valuable object les
son in what can be done in the way of
fly killing.
Tomorrow morning the names Of the
champion fly killers Of Washington will
be printed in The Star, together with the
final details Of this campaign, doubtless
the most successful that has ever been
waged against the house fly.

Street Railway Trouble.

Des Moines, Iowa, Is about to expe-
rience a street car strike. Demands for
more money and better working condi-
tions having been made by the operatives
and resisted by the company, a strike
has been called, and 1t will probably de-
velop along the usual lines which have in
other cities proved so destructive and
even disastrous. Strikebreakers have
been secured from other cities, and all
arrangements have been made to operate
the lines in accordance with the terms Of
the franchise held by the corporation.
Unless a great change has come over the
spirit Of these strikers efforts will be
made to prevent the operation OF the
lines. Disorder is almost certain to fol-
low. There has never yet been a street
car strike which has not caused trouble,
and IL remains to be seen how true to
type the Des Moines AFFAIR will be.
These repeated demonstrations Of pub
lie danger in the lack Of methods Of
compulsory arbitration to adjust differ
ences between public service corporations
and their workers have not led to the re-
form which common sense and justice
demands The chief sufferers in all street
railway strikes are the people who use
the car lines. They are put to incon-
venience in the disarrangement Of sched-
ules. and they are often exposed to danger
of death IL they venture to use the lines
when operated by strikebreakers. Yet
they are justified in expecting continu-
Gus service, and no adjustment that ma,
be effected between the corporation anG
the workers can possibly compensate tn,
people for their loss Of time. their dis
comfort and their peril. In the nature Of
things q street railway corporation shoult

A Democratic Protectionist.

Former Senator Murphy of New York,
democrats who, under Mr.. Germans lead
ership added so much protection to the
Wilson tariff bill in 1s94 that Mr.. Cieve-
land denounced the measure in the Sc
verest terms. But he neither apologized
for nor regretted his act, and retired
from Office convinced that by his course
In the premises he had discharged his
obligations both to his people and to his
party.
Mr. Murphy had conducted the cam
paign in New York which had resulted
In giving the state to Mr.. Cleveland two
years before. He had made no objection
to the party platform. He had known
Of the interpretations put upon the tariff
plank by democratic spellbinders. and
had kept his peace. While many of them
had challenged protection to a war to
the death. and promised action accord
ingly by Congress in case of democratic
success that year. he had addressed him
self solely TO getting the boys in line
for action on election day.
But had that committed him to war
on protection now that he was a national
legislator and called upon to pass upon
the tariff? He thought not and resisted
with heat all efforts to induce him to
fOrego the opportunity TO vote for pro-
lection 10 industries which were asking,
and he thought deserved. 1t.
1t so happened that in Mr.. Murphy's
home town of Troy a prosperous collars
and cuffs mandatory was in operation,
and its owners wanted protection for their
industry. They appealed to him, and he
agreed with them as to the merits of
their claim. Having an opportunity to
serve them, he decided to improve it.
But, as the question put in that form
was one of give and take that course
obliged him to vote protection to others.
He was governed by the spirit of the
pious old lines:
The mercy / to others show,
That mercy show to me-
Mr.. Murphy got what he requested for
his people, and granted to other sem
ators what they were requesting for
theirs. In that way the Senates changes
In the Wilson bill were made, and the
measure became part of the democratic
record on the tariff question.
Mr.. Murphy did not shine as a member
Of the Senate. He was conspicuously out
Of place there. AS practical politician
and campaign manager he had many
uses, but was not appropriately reward
ed by election to body where he could
neither draw nor debate measures But
in the case OF his tariff votes. he did not
fall below the level of men much ADLER,
and in their proper place. AS they did,
he put aside the party's platform and
the interpretations of it that had been
used to secure support for the party's
ticket, and voted according to his indi-
vidual judgment and the wishes OF his
constituents. And that is what some
folks in Congress are doing today.

senator. let them have another imme-

senator. let them have another imme-
diately.
But. by that token and argument. Mr..
Williams also should retire. He threw
in his fortunes with Mr.. Percy: Endorsed
him in interviews and in q public speech.
The voters no more needed him than they
did his colleague They turned from both.
and gave their ballots to Gov. Vardaman,
who swept the state.
We may believe. however, that Mr..
Williams has no thought of resignins.
Such a step by him would be expensive to
his party. and. notwithstanding the result
of this recent primary. to the people Of
Mississippi. He is a very useful man to
them and to the whole south. With full
knowledge Of the needs Of his section.
and familiar with national legislation. he
is tower of strength where strength is
most valuable. He has taken q place i'm
mediately in the front rank Of his party
associates in the Senate.
No. both Mr.. Percy and Mr.. Williams
are in commission for given periods. and
both should remain at their posts. The
democracy of neither Is questioned. They
were elected in due form. and should be
governed by all that the form implies
and imposes. A recall other than Is now
provided for is not desirable in our az
fairs. Mr.. Percy has received no notice
which should induce him to surrender at
this time the Office he is filling.
AS for Mr.. Williams, he has SIX years
before him, and in that time sentiment In
Mississippi may swing so far In the direc-
ton opposite to that now recorded. that he
may then be as powerful at home as he
would now appear to be impotent Should
he appear for reelection he may get a
second term by unanimous consent. He
will bide his time, and so should Mr..
Percy, who. though defeated now. is
young enough to be making calculations
about the future.

Tricks of Perspective.

What differences vast they show
The youths of now and long ago!

Portrays hoopskirt and crinoline.

Flaunt curious whsker$ to the air.
And trousers slim are kept quite neat
BY straps that pass beneath the feet.
Some decades hence, as manners strange
Arise in fashions constant change.

Would wear a queer peach basket hat.

To walk in that quaint hobble skirt.
And men! Oh, where could such be seen
Save in an old-time magazine?

End of the Fire Bell.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The familiar sound of the bell on
the machines of the fire department
will soon be heard no more in the
streets OF New York. Commissioner
Johnson has decided that the safety
Of the public will be promoted by
substituting the whistle on all the
apparatus under his control. And the
aldermen are to be asked to make an
ordinance prohibiting the drivers of
motor cars from using the official sig
nal-twO short blasts followed by one
long one-which is now employed by
the fire boats. The time is at hand
when the galloping horses. the delight
Of the excitable, will be as extinct as

warning should be used. why should
there not be rule limiting the use of
