The lesson of history is that great wealth

Wilson, OF the Department of Agricul-

OF the South OF the unexcelIed oppor-
tunity for development in the raising,
not only OF fruit and vegetables and
grain, but OF cattle and meat and dairy
products This diversity is quite con-
sistent with an increase in the growth
of cotton or sugar, where the land is
best adapted to those staples. The soil
and climate are favorable g producing
abundance of food for the people, with
surplus to send North; ard by more
attention to cattle raising there would
be less necessity for buying expensive
fertilizers. Besides. there are here and
there valuable mineral deposits. There
is much unused water power With
economy of power, mild climate, and
the proximity of cotton fields and min

South for progress in manufacturing in

The Effect of a General Staff.

The recent mObllIzlng OF our army,
which is demonstrating a state OF eff
cheney of which all Americans ought TO
be proud. calls to military minds the eN-
periences of our army when it set out
for Cuba in 1893 1t was so unsyStema-
tizcd that for the. sake of Cur patriotic
pride it is to be hoped that the country
will be saved a similar experience. Due
credit for the present quick action must
be given the efforts of the General Staff
during the ten years of its existence.
A few hours after the order for the
mobilization of 10000 troops had been
issued, practically the entire number had
begun to converge on the objective point
in Texas. Artillery. horses, 1rarines. and
war ships were ready. Ammunition,
stores. rationS and all the essentials for
a real campaign and real enemy were
available Instantly The order came as
surprise to the vast majority Of the
officers, and yet 1t carried with il no
confusion. because this problem had been
studied and prepared for down to the
minutest detail. The army was ready;
the day OF guesswork is over We have
an efficient organization. inteiigently and
>killfully handled and directed, and not
a make-believe army.

Within ten minutes after the dispatch of
that message the army was in readiness.
Every man was at his pest and each
knew what to do. The receipt of the
first order was the signal for heads OF
army corps to repeat it to division COM

communicated with inferior officers. until
the circle was completed and the army
was on the march Everything and

precision of a machine beca12c the whole

Now the "0pen-four-quarter" Skirt.

We feel for the Pennsylvania states
man who submitted to his legislature Il
bill protesting against the use of the
harem skirt by the women IF his State
on the following grounds:
IF it should possibly happen that
the women of this country should adopt
said style, no married man would be
able to prevent his clothes being worn
by his wife, even though in these days
of dear living few men are able to
afford more than one suit"
There is also this warning:
IF the women dare to adopt and
wear such costume. the day of woman's S
suffrage will be indefinitely postponed"
But our editorial sympathy is still
more with the man who had 10 contend
with this:
Ocean passengers arriving on the
Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm report the
demonstration of a garment called the
'four-quarter skirt. made in Paris for
a lady living in Mexico City. for wear
in New York and other great world
capitals. Her appearance on deck is said
to have created such a sensation that her
husband was obliged to urge her to limit
the exhibition period. Witnesses of this
demonstration describe the garment as
Of dark green silk. and instead of be-
ing slit on one side like the directoire
skirt. it was slit in front, behind and
on both sides. Thus when the lady
walked the deck the vagrant winds part
ed the four members of the skirt and
tapped them merrily, displaying a pair
of velvet knickerbockers such as Louis
Quatorze used to wear. in combination
with silk stockings and pumps with
iewcled buckles The enthusiasm OF
the passengers was unbounded, but the
fiery. Jealous disposition Of her Mexican
husband led him to insist that she so
below and change"
What is a plain, conservative harem
skirt compared to this innovation
No man who cherishcs a passionate de-
votion to noble womanhood could view,
except with alarm, the four-quarter
skirt. The subject is almost too deli
cate for comment Heaven preserve. us
Why. the harem skirt is modest. sim
pie device compared with the costume
which has thus approached our Western
shore.

An Appeal for the Babies.

Editor The Washington Herald:
\ question of vital import has been
raised within the past few days. and
one Of particular local interest. rs stated
in the papers, and further verified by the
authorities in charge, the Nathan Straus
Laboratory is TO be closed within the COM
ing week because of lack Of local sup
port to assist in its maintenance
An appropriation from Congress was
asked for. which was approved by the
Senatc. but the pressure Of business be
fore the House prevented that body from
acting upon the bill in the recent Sos
sion. As the matter now stands. a most
valuable and worthy philanthropy is in
danger of discOntinuance. Mr.. Straus,
however, has generously agreed to allow
+ba laboratory apparatus to remain in
tact until action has been secured by
Congress looking to the permanent exist
once of the laboratory here. There is
strong hope that this bilk will be favor
ably considered
Meanwhile. a fund of $500 is needed to
carry on the work of the laboratory for
another month. The city has many char
tiles. but there is none more commend
able than this aid to the conservation
of infant life. The lives of numerous
babies have been saved by the use of
this laboratory milk, which is served free
to mothers unable to pay for it, and many
infants are entirely dependent upon it.
If. through the columns of the press.
pubIic interest can be aroused. there will
doubtless be generous responses to this
appeal in behalf OF the many little ones
who owe life and health to the Nathan
Straus Laboratory.

approximately 100 miles in length that

of automobiles to use horns of uniform

hubbub and rush of our leading urban
highways is taken into account. that the
list of serious and fatal accidents is
not larger. With horns giving forth
as nearly as possible the same sound,
danger to pedestrians would be greatly
reduced. At any rate, one cause of
complaint against the owners of auto
mobiles would be removed.
