Two hundred arrests for drunken

proved in this County and this law
is not as popular as local option law
was. 1t is harder to enforce and l
can not see any decrease in drunken

very unsatisfactory and is causing a

Imperfect Neutrality Laws.

The necessity of revising our neu-
trality laws is emphasized in the address
which former Secretary of State Foster
delivered to the members of the Peace
Congress yesterday Mr.. Fosters long
and intimate acquaintance with diplo-
matte affairs and his careful study of
international questions entitle him to
speak advisedly.
MIR. Foster believes that some re-
striction should be placed upon the traf-
nc IN arms and munitions of war across
the border line in times of insurrection :;
that it should be made unlawful for
Americans to enter the military service
OF any power or chief at war with
nation with which we are at peace, and
that greater power should be conferred
upon the President TO prohibit inter-
course across the border and to enforce
martial law when necessary.
Here are three concrete propositions,
each and all of which must commend
themselves to wise and patriotic judg-
ment. Especially should it be made il
legal for citizens of this country to
take arms against a nation with which
we are at peace. As Mr.. Foster points
out. Great Britain. France, and other
countries already have laws upon this
subject, and we cannot afford to be
derelict in our own duty.
The insurrection in Mexico has
taught US many lessons. Congress
should be wise enough TO speedily con-
slider the necessary revision of the laws

A New Course for Training Schools.

The Merchants Tailoring Exchange
a local organization of tailors, has sug-
gested that a curriculum for tailoring
should be established in the manual
training schools of Washington The
opinion is expressed that there is a de-
mand for such a course. Scores OF
youth who do not necessarily desire to
become tailors would attend such a
course, as the training would be of value
to them in after life.
Every boy who is taught to Hatten 4
piece of molten iron in a training school
does not necessarily have to become a
blacksmith, and the same argument is
held to be applicable to the proposed
tailoring course. If nothing better, an
experience can be gained enabling one
to sew on buttons when the wife is
absent from home Perhaps the board
of education may be impressed with the
value of the suggestion.

A Chance for the District.

The decision of the House leaders to
give the District of Columbia Commit
tee ample time to bring local measures
before the House as soon as the free
list and the Statehood bills are out of
the way is most gratifying to the people
OF Washington. 1t means that legis-
lation of importance TO this community
is to receive consideration.
Already number of bills have been
favorably reported, and when the House
is ready tc take up District matters the
calendar will be we'll filled. Matters
that would otherwise be postponed until
next spring will be disposed of before
the adjournment of the present session
The interest which the House is
showing in District affairs indicates that
there will be no cause for complaint on
the part of the District people

Kiosk Cities.

We suppose that there must be q
minor chord in all triumphant anthems
but we confess to feeling of neighborly
sadness that in this fanfare of investi-
cation being performed by the present
Congress, the metropolis of Rockville
should have been placed deep below the
leger lines
That she has a weather kiosk we are
not in position to deny. But are there
not others? One at Atlantic City, in
the busy season; one at New York, and
one here in Washington. where Con-
gressmen can see it as they meander
home from their daily toll Then why
point the finger of scorn at Rockville !?
A weather kiosk is not a gambling de-
vice, even though the prognostications
OF the weather man seem sometimes to
have been evolved according to the doc
trine of chance. Certainly the hint that
the choice of Rockville was due to the
fact that it is the home of an official
OF the Weather Bureau is not deserv-
ing of serious consideration.
A prophet is proverbially without
honor in his own country. This may
be true of the. common or garden,
everyday variety, but most certainly
weather prophet would hardly care
to have his neighbors, their sisters, their
cousins, and their aunts regulate their
umbrella-carrying by plain printed
placard when beautifully decorated
kiosk, painted and paid for by the gov
ernment, can be provided On the con-
trary, the weather prophet, who is in
q class by himself, is going to give to
his own people the best that the country
win afford.
Whatever may be the cause, however,
OF the activity in the Democratic Congress
regarding the location of kiosks, our
sympathies are with Rockville. She
may not be the largest of the four kiosk
cspters of wind and rain precip;tstion,

The Tambourine Girl.

Kansas City has decreed that here
after women with tambourines or COL
lection banks must keep out of saloons
in that city AS nowadays. only Sal
vation Army women invade public
places, the order of the Kansas City
police chief is mainly directed at that
organization. The reason is altruistic
The board of public welfare of Kansas
City has become satisfied that the
women thus employed frequently are
"'insulted" This may or may not be So
But when that wise and honorable body
says further that the funds thus gath
cred seldom are accounted for" we fail
to follow its reasoning. If that is so,
Kansas City, to her shame be it
recorded. is quite different from any
other city in the land
A Salvation Army woman rarely if
ever is made the object of jest or in
suit in any place she may visit Quite
the reverse She is universally re-
spected. often to degree that really is
surprising, considering the publicity OF
her work and the varied character of the
people with whom she comes in contract
As for the failure to account for the
funds so gathered. such a thing may
have occurred now and then. If so. it
is the exception and not the rule Those
who give do not expect to receive an
accounting; that would not be charity.
it would be commercialism. But the
work of the Salvation Army speaks for
itself. even at Kansas City.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By A. w. MACY.

BLACK HAWKS SOLUTION OF
THE SLAVERY QUESTION.
In his old age. Black Hawk, the
celebrated Indian chief, sub
mitted to an interpreter his plan
for handling the slavery ques-
ton. At that time, about 1885
or 1886, the question was giving
the people Of the United States
a good deal Of concern. Black
Hawks plan was as follows:
Let the free States remove all
the male negroes within their
limits to the slave States: then
let our Great Father (meaning
the President of the United
States) buy all the female ne
groes In the slave States between
the ages Of twelve and twenty,
and sell them to the people Of the
free States, for . term of years.
say those under fifteen until they
are twenty-one, and those Of and
over fifteen, for nve years. and
continue to buy all the females
In the slave States IS soon a.
they arrive at the age OF twelve,
and take them to the free States
and dispose Of them in the same
way as the hrst, and 1t win not
be long before the country II
clear Of the black-skins. about
which I am told they have been
xslkiu~ for n 1on~ TINA and for
which they have expended large
amount of money. II the free
States did not want them all for
servants. We would take the
balance In our nation to help our
women make corn"

The first Of what Is expected to be
string Of model lodging houses for
working girls in this city will be opened
! next week In the old Cruger house, 25Os
and 208 X street northwest.
The house will be conducted "as an in
vestment. not a charity" under the su-
pervision Of Mrs. Medill Mccormick. wife
Of the Chicago millionaire newspaper pub
Usher and well known in this city. Mrs.
Mccormick, who is interested in model
lodging houses for working girls in Chi
Gag. Cincinnati. and Pittsburg. has in
vested 5000 in the local establishment
She guarantees 81 per cent dividends
on all moneys invested by Washington
women, as long as the demand for such
lodgings warrants the establishment Of
such institutions.
Old Mansion Rem0deled.
The old Cruger mansion, famous for its
entertainments and genial hospitality In
ante-bellum days. but which has been
almost in a state Of decay for several
years, has been remodeled by, Mrs. Nc
Cormick. The interior has been turned
into series Of rooms Of varying sf1es
for use as bedchambers, and the lower
floor redecorated and fitted up in parlors
libraries, and dining rooms. The house
will accommodate thirty-three girls.
Mrs. McCormick's plans have been
known in Washington for some time and
she has associated with her in the work
several prominent local women, among
them Miss Maude Wetmore and Mrs.
Morton Grinnell She hopes, after con-
Quoting the establishment In K street
for year and proving the practicability
Of the plan, that well-to-do Washington
matrons will be willing to invest In like
homes.
II they are willing to put up the
money. Mrs. Mccormick Is willing to
Der cent on their investment, though the
houses in other cities are paying from
to 5 per cent. and she believes the
local institutions will do as we'll.
Rates Will BE Low.
The terms, at the start, will range
from 81 a week for a large single room
and board down to $3.50 a week for one
share Of a double room and board There
will be smaller single rooms for IS a
week. including board.
1T is my intention. II possible. to cut
the figures later" said Mrs. Mccormick
last night. THE rates we will charge
will be within the reach of all. II find
that my investment pays more than 3h
per cent at the present figures, / will
cut the figures accordingly.
THE house will be open for occupancy
next week. and in the meantime want
all the girls who think they might be
interested in the house to come out and
Inspect 1t. / will be there tomorrow
(Satdrday) from 1:30 until / o'clock in
the afternoon, and from o'clock until
Z. Sunday I will be there all day. ex-
cept between the hours of and 2:30 in
the afternoon.
Until we try out the plan. we can
not ascertain just how many houses the
demand in Washington will warrant I
am going to try this one for a year. and
by the end OF that time I hope to have
demonstrated. not only that there Is need
for at least five more, but also that 1t is
an investment worthy Of consideration"
