The Deadly Cyanide.

Frequent deaths from cyanide of po-
tassium make it manifest that its sale
ought 10 be investigated more thorough
ly and guarded more closely. AS it is,
it is employed far too often. When
used for murderous effect it can be de-
detected readily, because it leaves in the
lungs an unmistakable clew. Being Of
metallic ingredients, it can also easily
be discovered by means of analysis.
This deadly poison is unfortunately
used very widely in the arts. Photogra-
pliers use it, and saturated solution of
it is needed for the preliminary bath in
electro-plating 1t is also familiar as
means of killing insects in green
houses. The law watches its sale by
druggists; but it is sold too freely among
the industries that require it. Perhaps
for that very reason it is more accessi-
bic than any other deadly drug, whereas
it ought to be the one most difficult to
obtain.
The Washington herald., 1911-10-25
UNPARALLELED Progress.

Figures are usually dry and uninter-
esting,' but some reference to the re-
markable progress made by the United
States will be interesting. Everybody
knows, OF course. that the population
has increased to 100000, and that the
extent of territory owned has vastly en-
larged 1t is not so generally known,
however, that the per capita wealth of
the country in 1900 was only $4o9, as
against S3425 at the present time, nor
that the American people have the enor-
nous amount of $I5yooo,ooo,ooo depos-
tied in banks There are no less than
100000 depositors in the savings banks
alone, or an average of one in every ten
for the population. On the other hand,
the burden of internal revenue taxation
rests more lightly now upon the people
than at any time since the war, the an
nual tax per capita being only $745.
The increase in manufactures and agri-
culture has, of course, been almost fab
ulous
The United States has now, and al
ways will have, its serious problems. At
the same time, it enjoys advantages
which are not obtainable in other coun-
tries, and its people are, as a whole,
happy and prosperous. Education is
rightly regarded as a most important
factor in our civilization, and the ma
chinery for alleviating distress was never
so sympathetic and effective. There is
greater cause for real and genuine pride
in the progress of the United States
than ever before.

ROBERT MATHER DEAD.
Chairman of Westinghouse Board
of Directors Passes Away.

Chairman of "eBtinghOuse Board
of Directors Passes Away.
New York, Oct "a Robert Mather,
chairman OF the board Of directors Of
the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company and general counsel of
the Chicago and Alton Railroad, died
early this morning at his home, 113 East
Thirty-seventh street, after only two
days illness with acute peritonitis.
Mr.. Mather spent the summer on
Long Island. apd was apparently in ex-
ceIIent health. With him at the time OF
his death were Mrs. Mather and his sec
retary.
Robert Mather was born in Salt Lake
City. on July l, 1859. His father was a
native of Forfarshire, Scotland, and his
mother came to this country from the
county of Lancashire, England.
Mr.. Mather was president OF the Rock
Island Railway lines for about four
years. Some time after leaving the Rock
Island he became interested in the West
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company. In 1907, when George West
inghouse was president OF the company,
it failed for the second time. It was re-
organized in 1908, and Robert Mather was
chosen chairman of the board OF direc-
tors, George Westinghouse being relegat-
ed to a mere dictatorship.

imagination to visualize the time when
Canadian and Australian battle ships
will be cruising the North Sea as an
integral part of that mighty force which
Great Britain is assembling in anticipa-

On the other hand, should Australia

HaZing at Annapolis.

There is a law against hazing at the
Naval Academy. Is that law observed
1t would seem as the answer must be
in the negative.
The case which happened last Mon
day became public because two young
ladies were witnesses OF the humilia-
ton of the younger classmen. Much
regret is expressed because Of the pub
licity, There seems to be no compunc-
ton regarding the occurrence itself,
The administration at the Naval
Academy should be vigilant and effect
i've enough to prevent any violation of
he law, either in public or in private.
Hazing is a senseless custom which de-
!racts from the manIiness of the cadets
who practice it. When carried to an
extreme it is often brutal
The law should be enforced. In an
institution governed like the Naval
Academy there is no excuse for its vio-
lation
The Washington herald., 1911-10-25
Preserve the Landmarks.

While many old residences and other
buildings are making way for progress,
it is encouraging to note that at least
one structure typical OF the early days
OF this country may be retained per
manentIy as a feature of the newly
opened Montrose Park, in R street. The
Georgetown Citizens Association has
requested the superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds to preserve one
of the old houses OF a period marked
by an architectural style not even sur
passed to-day in its combination of sim
pIici;y and comfort.
Scarcely week passes without the
announcement that some ancient dwell
Ing is to be destroyed. This has gone
on to such an extent that destruction of
every relic Of Colonial or Revolutionary
days is threatened Some few, OF
course. have been saved for all time,
such a Mount Vernon. Octagon House,
and the Lee mansion, but especially in
Georgetown there are still some fine en-
amplcs Of the architects art that would
pass forever unless public sentiment is
stirred to preserve them.
It is to be sincerely hoped that Col
Cosby will keep the old house intact in
Montrose Park. which. by the way, is
one Of natures beauty spots If this
can be done. the various citizens asso-
Citations might ind heart to work for
the preservation OF other similar historic
structures.

Superior to Anything She Saw on
Recent Visit to Paris.

Had that famed king Of Partisan de-
signers, the marvellous Paquin. been a
guest at the National Style Show yes
terday afternoon and last night, he prob
ably would have Joined with 1000 other
visitors in pronouncing II a marvellous
success in demonstrating that women
need not cross the Atlantic nor even go
beyond the boundaries of the District to
procure the most beautiful apparel.
Mrs. Barney-H -Hemmick, who has just
returned from Paris, rot only put her
verbal stamp of approval upon the varied
collection Of gorgeous gowns-many dis
played on live models-hats and furs and
the lesser frills and foibles, but declared
the style show superior to anything she
had seen in the French capital.
Manager is Satisfied.
Director Charles ]. Columbus, who has
promoted and managed three style
shows. averred that his most sanguine
expectations had been surpassed by this
exhibition Of pretty things for the fair
er SEX" and he declared he has been
amazed by the popularity Of the show.
Yesterday was distinctly a society
function, for Washington's elite was
out, seemingly en- masse, to view the
latest creation designed to add, arti-
fcially, to the famed beauty Of the fair
sex of the National Capital. Tea and
punch were served gratis, and
stranger in Rauschers bathrooms might
have imagined himself in the drawing
rooms of a leader OF the ultra-fashion-
ables.

Campaign in Rhode Island.

The fact that the campaign in Rhode
Island will not he a one-sded affair Is
indicated by the fact that the Republi-
cans are planning a vigorous contest.
They will open the fight in Providence
tomorrow night with a banquet, at
which 1000 persons will be present.
Among the speakers will be Gov. Pothier,
Lieut. Gov. Bliss, Senator Lippitt, and
Mayor Fletcher, of Providence. Other
candidates on the State ticket will also
he heard. The programme for the cam
paign includes a larger amount OF ora
tory than usual, no less than six meet
ings having been scheduled for some
days.
The Democrats have already opened
their campaign, and will make the tariff
their issue.

England and the Panama Canal.

No nation has grasped more thor
oughly the military and strategic i'm
portance of the Panama Canal than
Great Britain. Certainly to no Euro
pean power does the completion of this
vast engineering work mean as much,
particularly in view of the movement to
solidify and unity the British empire
from the antipodes to the arctic circle.
The naval question in England is one
which sooner or later must involve the
colonies, and if the race in battle-ship
building with Germany is to continue
indefinitely, Great Britain will call upon
her oversee realms to share the burden.
Australia has Already announced her de-
termination to have a fleet, although
she declares, modestly enough. that it
viii be used purely for defensive pur-
