Fodder for Cavalry.

according 10 pfOmlnenL army OHIO
er, the plan of having a large cavalry
force in Hawaii, rather than an infan-
try force, was Influenced by the fact
that it was believed that practically
all the fodder for the. horses could be
grown on the reservation after the
necessary part of it had been put UNI
der cultivation.
Included in the Dowsett lease are
1921 acres now being held by Hawaiian
Pineapple Company and other growers
Of the luxuriant pines, and, by an agree.
ment already drawn up, these growers
will be allowed TO take OF their crop
up to October of next year, nOtwith-
standing that their leases expire with
the Dowsett lease.
No additional rental is charged the
iessees Tor the use of the land for the
period of nine months, but there 10 an
agreement whereby each one Is to clear

Senator Lodges Reelection.

Massachusetts has conferred an honor
upon itself in re-electing Senator Lodge
for fourth term He has served his
State with fidelity and integrity.
Senator Lodge stands pre-eminent
among his colleagues in the Senate. He
is a man of wide learning. and his many
years of experience in public life has
made him a wise counselor and safe
leader He is broad enough to realize that
the world progresses. and yet he is con-
servative enough to eschew- radicalism
and dangerous doctrine. AS an orator he
stands foremost. and his speeches are not
only examples Of a finished style, but
also stimulate thought.
The country is to be congratulated that
such men as Senator Lodge are retained
in public life. None the less, however
will he realize that the conditions which
menaced him are not mere accidents, and
that there will be demanded of him in
the future a recognition of their exist
ence ..

The District Budget.

While il is true that the District ap-
preparation bill for the ensuing year car
ries an increase of about 100000 over the
present twelve months, the fact still re-
mains that the total amount is less than
the sum to which the District is en-
titled Under the law which provides that
the Federal government shall contribute
an amount equal to the receipts from
taxes and other sources, the budget
should approximate s14.GOO,0Oo. The Dis
trict Commissioners, with painstaking
care, prepared estimates we'll within this
total, and yet the bill as reported to the
House carries only 100000.
There is no reason why the District
should not receive every cent to which
it is entitled The funded Indebtedness
is being provided for by an adequate
sinking fund, and the floating Indebtedness
is not large enough to warrant anxiety.
1t would seem that reduction of over
100000 a year of this loan from the
United States is larger than crcum-
stances warrant. and Congress might we'll
he content to accept a smaller payment
and apply the balance to public improve
ments. Quite a number of the sugges-
tionS made by the Commissioners have
been totally ignored. and in other cases
the estimates have been materially cur
tailed.
However. these omissions and reduc-
tons will be remeded in some degree
when the Senate acts. and eventually we
may look for District budget more sat
isfactory than the one which has been

A Proper Change of Control.

The proposed law which places the con-
troll Of the District jail under the Com
missioners of the District is wise one.
Hitherto the Jail has been. under the
jurisdiction Of the Department of Justice.
an arrangement most unsatisfactory in
its practical operation. Under the, new
provision, the positions of warden OF the
Jail and superintendent of the Washing
ton Asylum are to be abolished, and the
two institutions are to be combined under
one head, who will be appointed by and
be responsible to the District Commits
sioners.
There are many other changes of like
nature which might be made with great
benefit to the city. 1t is bad policy to
have divided responsibility. The Com
missioners should be given full control of
every institution which is connected with
the local government. They are fully
equipped to undertake complete admins
tration. and the District would benefit
by giving them absolute control

The Divorce Question.

1t has been established by the invesu-
cations of the Department of Commerce
and Labor that divorces in the United
States are not only more numerous than
in any other country, but that they are
three times as numerous now as they
were generation ago. Nor do the statis-
tics of divorce indicate anyway fairly the
number of matrimonial shipwrecks. for
there are many agreed separations of
married couples which never figure in
the courts
A noted woman recently said. having
secured a divorce, that most men are
nconstant; that they have little interest
in their homes, and that they are easily
lured by men and women of loose habits
of life. She was probably right, and if
some man of equal prominence were to
speak he could probably bring just as
veritable an indictment against the op-
posite sex.
But in the meantime the problem still
vorces in American life? Apparently the
problem is not to he solved by -pily
religious, or social considerations; !, II
We are to take past legislation as a ,ri-
terion, is it to be solved by the State.-l
When we consider that out of every
thousand American men and women ten
have been divorced and another ten sep
arated by agreement. We must recognize
tho fact that Sometb;pp iS uronC in o,,r
social order as regards matrimony. The
trouble is. We believe, not in a dying
away of the religious associations of the
sacrament of marriage. but simply rec
ognition throughout this country that di-
vorce being easy. marriage is much less
a responsibility than it was IN the days
Of our fathers. Young men and women
of to-day get married without consid-
Grafton OF the obligations each assumes
knowing that if the bonds so lightly un-
dertaken prove irksome they may be
easily dissolved. The remedy lies. We
think. in reversion to first conditions
to a realization of the fact that marriage
means something infinitely deeper
stronger, and more ideal than mere self
ishness; that it implies a duty to the
state just as much as a duty toward God
In "A great majority of cases we. think
parents are primarily responsible, in that
they do not inculcate the sanctfty of the
marriage tie. The whole matter. We
think, is one of education. When the
young people are properly taught to un-
derstand what marriage really means and
when. at the same time. our courts come
to see that easy divorce is damnatory
to good citizenship. the problem which
now agitates socioIogists will be a prob
lem no longer.

SUGAR TRUST DISG0RGEs.
Chunks of Plunder Returned to ths
Federal Treasury.


Whether the ultimate limit Of the re
findings of stolen money by the sugar
trust proves to be s.. 900, 200 or s.. 800, 900 is
of comparative small Importance. The
trust is too rich to feel the difference
seriously. and the government does bus
mess on so vast a scale that the Treasury
will not be much affected one way or the
other.
The main thing to be kept in mind is
the evidence which every dollar Of plum
der thus disgorged affords that the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company confesses
wide-reaching and shameless theiving. 1t
is not case of difficulty in adapting
established business customs to new
standard of public ethics or of artificial
criminality. created to meet the demand
of popular clamor." There is no room for
question as 20 the nature of the transac-
ton from any point Of view. ethical or
legal. The whole case is plain, vulgar
stealing.
There is no fraud older than cheating in
weights and measures. There are few
forms of thieving as mean and contempt
ible. The sugar trust has been caught
doing exactly that kind of stealing on
a vast scale and for many years IN sue
cession. The country will not forget this
revelation Of a criminal trusts methods.

ROMANCE OF THE RAILROAD.
United States Leading All Countries
in New Mileage.

United States Leading All Countries
i'm New Mileage.
From the New York World
The United States built in the year
just closed 400 miles of railroad. leading
all the countries of the world in new
mileage. as it has every other year for
the last half century. 1t was said sew
eral years ago that the days Of great
railroad building in this country were
over. and that hennceforth Canada, Ar
gentina, Australia, and South Africa
would be the chief fields of this indus
try. But the immense vitality Of the
American republic and its power Of draw
ing people. industry, and wealth to itself
were overlooked.
Canada is receiving a great immiGra-
ton; its huge western plains make rail-
road construction cheap and easy; yet
despite all the talk, 1t built only 62s
miles last year. or about one-seventh of
our own. Argentina, Australia, and South
Africa make showings relatively as poor.
Our mileage Is now nearly half that of
all the world; 1t exceeds that Of all Eu-
rope by more than $1,000 miles. and in
| the past ten years we have built more
miles than any other country possesses.
The building Of a new railroad In this
country Is so much a matter Of the days
, work that the public pays no attention
to 1t. We have recently opened two new
Itranscontinental lines. and in either case
the event passed almost without notice
We now have seven such roads, and we
should have more II It were not for the
fact that the country they traverse Is
acquiring, like the East, a railroad grid
iron OF its own.

THE DRUGGED NUCILAGE.


Post-offiee Inspectors Clever Device

From the Bookmn.
Several years ago letters and packages
containing drafts. checks. money, and
other valuables were being stolen con-

the thieves adopted the tactics of opening
the letters. securing the valusblea. re-
sealing the envelopes and sending them
along. These letters passed through %
many hands that the inspectors could
not even guess where the robberaes took

Then one clever inspector secured 2

To Willis L. Moore. chief Of the United
States Weather Bureau. an approaching
storm is a thing of beauty and real
Joy. He likes to take note Of a storm in
the act of crossing the selvedge Of the
horizon and figure out just what the
storms really up to.
One afternoon last fall Moore was hur-
rying to catch a train in . town over in
Pennsylvania. He was obliged to drive
some distance to the station and had
barely enough time. But he gave the
taxi driver a substantial tip and told
him to make the train even If he bent
and warped every speed ordinance in
the place.
When the taxi man dumped him out on
the station platform, the train was stand
ing few feet away on the nearest track
putting and ready to start, but Moore
had a few minutes to spare. AS he
glanced down the track. he noticed a big.
black, copper tinged cloud about the
height OF a city block above the horizon
that boded i'll for anybody in the vicinity
who didn't care for storms.
"Ah. but that's going to be pretty
Storm" thought Moore softly to himself.
There's lightning in that cloud-lots Of
it. I'll bet it'll thunder inside of three
minutes by the watch" And he took
out his watch to see how accurately he
had gueAed. Sure enough. in three min
utes. almost to the second. the clap Of
thunder resounded. And now" thought
Moore. it'll be raining here inside Of
two minutes" He continued looking at
his watch. About three seconds less than
two minutes later. he felt a large drop
of rain in his face, and in another mo-
ment the storm broke in earnest. Then
Moore. feeling pleased over the accuracy
of his weather prediction, came back to
earth again. and turned around to get
on his train. But
1t was gone.
Inasmuch as they are the only Republi-
can members OF the House from Indiana,
Representatives Barnard and Crumpacker
each receives a great many calls from In
diana Republican visitors from outside Of
their own districts.
The other afternoon a messenger car
ried to Barnards desk the card of a visi-
tor from we'll down in the felt-boot sec
ton of Hoosierdom. 1t was one of those

capital letter had a lot of scrollwork at

moro swan-like curves than one would
find on an Easter card or in the body Of a
high priced electric rurabout.

meet the visitor. who wore a celluloid
collar. spring g-bottom trousers, and carried
a toothbrush and two yellow lead pencils
in his upper left-hand vest pocket.
