Safeguarding Military Secrets.

The chief military stronghold in the
Philippines is situated on Corregidor
Island. A complete set of blue prints
showing the defenses on this island
were found not long ago on the streets
OF Calcutta The information they con-
tanned was supposed to be limited to a
few military officers of the United States
government. Other discoveries of a
similar character, in some of which
spies have been caught but released
without punishment because there was
no law dealing with the offenSc. have
convinced the authorities that effective
safeguarding of military secrets is i'm
possible under present conditions.
Hence, Representative Moons bill I'M
posing severe penalties for spying upon
our national dcfenses in times of peace
has the support of the War Department
At present there is no way of Furnishing
this offense, and as a result the details
Of our coast Notifications are becoming
common property all over Europe.
The bill imposes d .ae Of $1,000 or a
years Imprisonment ior a man caught
spying on government property, and i'm
prisonment for ten years in case he has
communicated or attempted to COM
municate his discoveries to a foreign
government. The information obtained
by spies is Of great value to war Offices,
and in the event of war might possibly
determine success or failure. A govern
ment could well afford to expose its
secret agents to the risk of ten years
in prison in order to secure accurate
maps of the fortifcatio7s of other

FIRST CONFEDERATE CAPITAL.
Montgomery Far Move Prosperous
To-day Than Before the War.
From the Boston Transcript.


Montgomery, Ala. has observed with
appropriate ceremonies, the semi-centen-
nial of the meeting of the first Congress
of the Confederate States MONTGOMERY.
then a pretty little city, struggling still
with rustfcity. was for rather more than
three months the Confederate capital In
the first Confederate Congress. which
modestly at times called itself a ''conven-
ton" but six States were represented
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. Mis-
sissippi. Louisiana and Florida 1t had

The more southern of the States OF the
Confederacy were then in the ascendency.
but when Virginia came in il was with
the determination that its great prestige
must be acknowledged in kind II had
its way. and on May "a whatever glory
there was in being the Confederate capi-
tai passed from Montgomery The seat
of government was then transferred to
Richmond
The orators of the occasion must admit
that the city has prospered under the re-
tored Union to an extent that exceeded
its visions of greatness in the COnfed-
eracy. Like Richmond. it is far wealthier
than it was before the war" Richmond
has three times the population to-day it
had when Jefferson Davis dwelt in the
Confederate White House. The inhabi-
tants of Montgomery number 5000, and

deposits shows that the new banks draw
the savings from other institutions. This
was expected, and it was also antici-
pated that some would prefer to trust
their funds with the government.
The postal savings banks have yet to
demonstrate their wisdom and utility
as against the assertion that private
institutions are more m keeping with
the principles of our government as

to be trained in the habits of self-de-

The High Pressure System.

The. authority which has been given
to the District Commissioners by the
Senate subcommittee on appropriations
to investigate the need and advantages
of the high pressure water system, with
instructions to report to the next seS-
sion of Congress, marks the beginning
OF a municipal improvement for which
the District authorities have long con-
tended 1t IS sincerely to be hoped that
the Senate will agree to the provision
and that the House conferees will
view it with favorable eye.
There IS situated at Fort Reno. near
Tenrrallytown, some 400 feet above the
level-of the-city, a reservoir which would
distribute an ample supply of water by
gravity into the business districts. The
cost of this distribution is already
known, and it has long been urged that
the expense IS small compared with the
great benefits that would result. With
such a high pressure system installed
and with fire pings at various street
corners, it would seem impossible to
experience here a conhagrat;on such as
has devastated Boston, Baltimore Chi
cago, and San Francisco in the past
Experiments have shown that the
pressure is sufficient to project the water
over the roofs of the highest buildings
without the use of engines. Indeed, it is
asserted that with the new system in
operation the apparatus maintained in
the business district could either be dis
pensed with altogether or transferred to
outlying and unprotected sections of
the District
The business interests OF Washington,
which have long appreciated the impor-
tance of the high pressure fire protec-
ton system, and which know how much
it means in the way of safeguarding
property. ought to leave no stone TN
turned to secure the enactment of the
Senate provision into law.

THE NEW JOURNALISM.
Papers First of All Seek the Conf
dence of Their Readers.


From the February Atlantic.
That there is a new journalism. with
principles and inrthOds in harmony with
new political and social conditions and
new developments in news transmission
and the printing art. is evident. The
modern newspaper is far more business
enterprise than was the one of three
decades ago. To some observers this
means the subOrdinatiOn of the writer to
the power of the publisher. If this be so
in some instances. the correction lies
with the public. The abuse of control
should bring its own punishment in loss
of patronage or of influence or of both.
The newspaper, be it published in
country village or in the largest city,
seeks first the confidence of its readers.
Without this. it cannot secure either
business for its advertising pages Vr in
fiuence for its ambitions. Publicity alone
may once have suffiCed. but rivalry is
too keen to-day. Competition brings a
realizing sense of fairness. Hence it is
that there is a demand for well-eGuipped
young men and clever young women who
can instill into the pages of the press
frankness. vriIity, and touch of what
newspaper men call human interest"

apple culture recently has assumed al
most gigantic proportions.
Since last autumn over 10000 barrels
of New Hampshire apples have been
shipped west of Ohio. a Western
orchard can be brought into bearing con-
dition m less than half the time re-
quired to make one here productive, but
the Eastern orchard will last twice as
long, with always a sure market for a
standard product of acceptable favor.

One Month of Postal Savings.

The report for the first months busi-
ness done by the new postal savings
banks IS not very encouraging. The en-
tire amount deposited in all OF the forty
eight institutions during January aggre-
gated only about 10000, or SI,ooo day.
If this average should be maintained
the total sum which the people would
intrust to Uncle Sam in his ,forty-eight
repositories would amount to only
$4,000 for the first year 1t seems
natural to believe, however, that the
first month of the new system, with
repositories located where no savings
banks had been established, has brought
out accumulated savings to an amount
which would not be apt to continue as
the average for the year. -.
The amount deposited was small, even
though the towns selected for depository
Offices are of minor importance. The
meager statement that the result of the
first months experiment is larger than
the corresponding average for the
British system Of postal savings in 1908,
the most successful year in the history
of the British system, would seem to
have little meaning when comparing an
experiment with long-established en-
terprise
1t is too early to judge whether the
system is destined to be popular and sue
cessful, or whether ii would be wise to
expend large sum in attempting its
extension. 1t cannot even be said, as
proof of its merit, that the amount of

The Apple.

The apple which to-day is welcomed
an the best markets is a very different
kind OF fruit from that with which the
public was familiar ! half century ago.
The splendid specimens that are sent
East from the Northwest are things Of
beauty and Joy. In fact, the whole
country is indebted to that section for a
grgher education in pomoIogy The
demonstration there of what can be ac-
roomplishcd has had its influence upon
s4he whole country. The effect, especially
6n the East and Southeast, is plainly
seen.
The younger generation that feels an
impulse to embark in fruit culture. and
apple growing in particular, looks long
Fingly to the orchards Of the far West
In the soil OF certain parts of that sec
stion apples grow as if by magic, cspe-
,-cially in that in which volcanic ash
spreduninates. Probably the State of
washington produces the finest apples
I'm the world. Even the boosted Hood
River Valley Of Oregon cannot rival
Ethem in all desirable qualities, for its
product lacks the sustaining vital
elements which are necessary in good

profits are realized.
The recent apple exhibits have
brought into particular prominence the
Fdistricts of Wehatchee, North Yakima,
fand Okanogan, the last named being
eSegarded as an apple Klondike" There
are orchards in these sections for which
$4,000 an acre has been refused. and

One Million Dollars Additional.

Acting with its customary regard for
.the interests of the National Capital, the
Senate subcommittee on appropriations
has added over 100000 to the Dis
1nct appropriation bill. "Some of the
s1tems which have been added are so
essential to the public welfare that they
needno argument in their support.
For instance, the necessity for a new
bridge across Rock Creek At Q street
Is easily demonstrated. The present
bridge at P street is occupied by car
tracks, besides which, rs surroundings
are most unprepossessing. Then, again,
the. proposition to convert Willow Tree
alley into a public playground COM
mends itself from every point of view
1t would transform a section which is
now blot upon the city into a healthful
and beneficial locality. Equally i'm
portant IS the appropriation of $4,000
for beginning the reclamation and de-
Velopment OF the Anacostia fats. This
work should have been commenced long
ago The preservation of the Klrngle Ford
Valley IS another proposition which de-
serves consideration. The acquisition of
this property will afford an entrance
TO Rock Creek Park and will enlarge
the Geological Park.
In other details the District bill as
now amended shows fiat local needs
are fully appreciated The provision
ifor allowing pay to substitutes when
School-teachers are unavoidably absent
the increase IN the salary OF the Com
missioncrs, the deserved recognition of
the services of hard-working and faith
full employees. the maintenance OF the
police and fire pension fund, the addi-
tional funds provided for street i'm
provcments-all these and many other
items indicate that the Senate subcom-
mittee has acted with the utmost con-
sideration. The House will. of course,
endeavor to curtail the increases. There
is no reason, however, why any reduc-
tion should be made. The revenues Of
the District next year will be ample
TO meet all OF these additional approprt-
atonS and yet leave a surplus to be ap-
Piled to the bonded and floating debt.
Under these circumstances Congress can
give the District all that is proposed
and feel that It IS not increasing the
burden Of the Districts obligations
The District bill as it has been re-
ported TO the Senate ought to become
law.
The rumor that Ambassador Bryce has
been invited to become president of
Princeton is denied. But. just the same,
it is good enough to be true.
