~ nice question has arisen regarding
the limits of the District jurisdiction on
the western side of AnalOstan Island,
where a strip of land has been filled In
across the channel of Little river, which
has been generally known as the bound
airy of the capital since the restoration
to Virginia of it's contribution to the
original ten miles square For some time,
it appears, the police have been regard
ing this as District territory and making
arrests there which have been recognized
by the court as proper. A doubt has now
been raised regarding this authority, and
has been referred for decision to the COM
mission which is now undertaking to
determine the ownership of all govern
ment land in the District The point i'm
mediately at issue is not easy of deter
minatiop short of inquiry into the phys
ical conditions and the law of riparian
limits. Unquestionably the technical line
of division between the state and the Dis
trict is the high water mark of the
western shore of the river. Is this fixed
or a movable boundary? Does the recess
sion of the stream at this particular
point throw land out of the District into
Virginia? Would the complete closure of
Little river place Analostan Island wholly
within the states jurisdiction? This last
is not an impossible contingency, as only
a. slight deposit of debris, with a conse-
uuent accumulation Of soil might form a
dam at the northern end of this stream
and divert the current into the main
channel of the river and SO permanently

The Old Horses.

The plea of the Washington Humane
Society for consideration for the old
worn-out horse, which was printed in yes
terday's Star. should awaken the con-
science of those who now regard vener-
able animals as mere property without
thought for their sufferings There is I'm
fortunately no law to prevent the use of
horses that have passed the stage of eco
nonic and humane use. The consequence
is that these WORKOUT animals are hand
ed along from owner to owner at stead
lily dropping prices, and put to harder and
harder work until they actually drop in
the shafts. The great misfortune is that
they are likely to come ultimately into
the hands of those who are compelled,
for lack of funds, to work them to the
limit Consequently, We see daily decrepit
really be borne by two instead of one,
and wonder that they are able to get
along. As a rule, the poorer the horse
the more ramshackle the vehicle and
crazy the harness, so that the animal has
the poorest chance to haul his load. Not
until the wretched creature is maltreated
or driven with harness gals or so OBJ
ViOusly overloaded that there can be no
question of the cruelty can the law in
tervene. What is needed is some form of
regulation to prohibit the use of horses
that have reached the retirement stage.
Ii would be in the interest of decency to
subject all draft horses TO an occa sionaI
examination to decide whether they are
fit for continued use. The plea of the
Humane Society for thought on this SUBJ
ject should be needed.

From the Springfield Republican.


In accepting without a struggle the
Lloyd George national insurance bill the
house of lords accepts the inevitable with
the best grace possible. The contest has
been furious and bitter, and an effort has
been made. by no means helpful to the
cause of woman's suffrage, to inhame the
already sufficiently strong prejudices of
well-to-do women against the part of the
bill which provides for the compulsory in
surance of domestic servants. The treat
ment of this class in England has long
been a scandal against which novelists
and playwrights have protested as vainly
as political reformers, and the present bill
provides for ameliorating in some degree
their position by insurance the cost Of
which is divided between the servant and
the employer The fact Is that the treat
ment of domestic servants Is one of the
and the "sanctity Of the home covers
some things that have little Of the odor
of sanctity. In other occupations the
laws have little by little come to ameliO-
rate the status of the worker. Hours have
been shortened, holidays guaranteed, san
itation and protection against machinery
required, hazardous trades regulated or
abolished. But the status Of the domestic
has remained pretty much what 1t was,
just one degree above slavery. 1t is not
much that the law can yet do for this
class, but it can make provision against
accident or other misfortune. and this
feature Of the Lloyd George bill should
commend it to humanitarian sentiment
outside of England at least.

The Hyphenated American.

Some years ago. The Star in a discus
sion. used the term hyphenated American
and il had run in the press while the
discussion continued
II is as true now as then that there
should he no sich person CnfortII-
nately, however, there are such persons
We continue TO hear of Germa n-Ameri-
cans, 1rish-Americans. Italian-Americans,
and jewish Americans
As matter of fact. we are all Ameri-
cans, foreign as we'll as native born The
duties of citizenship. the oaths of office
bind all alike. America is first and other
countries are nowhere. This is home. and
the obligations to home are the highest to
which men should subscribe.
This, of course is not to say that the
foreignIborn man forgets. or should for
get. in the home of his adoption the home
of his birth The man of Irish birth re-
members Ireland, the German Germany,
the Italian Italy, and the Jew for thou
sands of years denationalized, still re-
members Zion.
And as nation America has profited
by this. Some very pretty Irish customs
and much Irish wit have been transplant
ed. German song and story have en-
and the artistic sense of color have
thrived in the new atmosphere. And the
Jew. by his adaptability and knowledge
of business. has shown the way in i'm
portant walks of our national endeavor.
But. allowing for all this. these men,
voting in the country, holding office in the
country, fighting for the country when
necessary. and sharing in the prosperity
of the country, are yet, first and above
all, Americans. Why a hyphen? Why
not just the one word, and especially as
it means SO much. and they have helped
to make that meaning?
Foreigners find it difficult to digest our
institutions. and the influences they exert
on those who as citizens come under their
spell. For an instance, although church
and state have no connection in America,
there were men of prominence in Spain at
the time of the trouble over Cuba who
were led to believe that American Catho-
lies would not enlist to fight Catholic
power. These Spaniards took no account
OF patriotism which proved as strong
in Catholic as in Protestant circles in
America.
In the faraway Philippines the authori-
ties played on another string. The ma
tives were told that America was a Prot
estant country. and that its object in in
vading the islands was to destroy the
Catholic Church there. 1t so happened to
confound the disseminators of this story
that the chaplain of one of the first of the
American regiments to land was a Roman
Catholic priest.
Cut out the hyphen. That is what we
are demanding that Russia do in the mat
ter of our citizens. We want all Ameri-
cans put on the same plane by her. When
Americans travel they take no hyphen
with them, but stand upon the broad
proposition of their citizenship. Il am
an American citizen should be sufficient
everywhere, at home included.

Gent to knock the spots out of the propo
lsition for q limited service on that bench
and the recall? The public, it is true
would understand little of what was GO
ing on. but there would be an end Of al
talk about doing things in. a corner. Let
the building of decision be explained
like the building Of a ship.
| This matter had its rise in the racket
| that grew out of the democratic eau
cuses held last spring while the House
majority was wrestling with the tariff
and other questions. Some of the pro-
ceedings-intentionally or otherwise
were unsupported. Mr.. Bryan's attack on
Mr. Underwood was the result of mis-
information to the latter's attitude
toward the steel schedule of the tariff
law.
Let 1t be admitted that some abuses
attach to secret sessions in the transac-
ton of public business. But would open
sessions about everything remedy the
evil? On the contrary. would not new
evils spring up? Are there not many
points. both in the shaping of party poll
cies and the carrying forward of policies
agreed upon, that call for closed doors
in the public interests? Why should a
cabinet, or court. or party organiza-
ton in Congress, open its portals to the
curious?
couple of centuries ago majesty in
some of the old countries dressed in
public. dined in public. retired in public.
Courtiers and fiunkies trooped in and out
while the royal forgery was being ad-
justed, or the royal grub sampled. But
that was a mere trick of majesty. Never
before had so much skuiduggcry been
done under III rose, or had the people
been more cruelty used. Why make pub
lie what ought not to he exposed? Why
raise the blinds on family consultations?

The Fly-Wheel Fallacy.
From the New York World.


George w. Perkins before the interstate
commerce committee of the Senate re-
peats trust argument which Is becom'
ing quite the fashion nowadays. This
argument sets forth glibly enough that
the laws of nature have just been repealed
by the inventions Of man; that Edison
is the father of the trusts; that the steam
engine, the telegraph and the telephone
have revolutionized the principles of po-
ltical economy and metamorphosed the
laws Of business morality: that an assem-.
blage Of fiywheels, pistons and connecting
rods containing a heap of burning Goals
has relegated competition to the junk
heap; that some wires and electro-mag-
nets and microphones have made honest
what used to be dishonest. fair what used
to be unfair, laudable what used to be
criminal. This bit Of sophistry had better
be pricked before it goes any farther
Machines do not change morals nor d.
human contrivances give the lie to eter.

new invention called a steam engine or 9

the Taft colors over one and the Roose-
welt colors over the other? 1t is easily
assumed that the President wants no
