Little O,D1 Becomes
T.-R. Office Sentry

Taking up his abode in the Times
Republican counting room, where ne
was found perched upon a picture this
morning, a little screech owl has ap-
pointed himself sentry and Is putting
his time in looking wise at employees
and others who visit the office.
The owl, a dapper little fellow, and
apparently very proud of his prettily
marked plumage, evidently entered the
building thru door between dusk and
closing time Tuesday evening. His
presence, however. was not announced
until this morning Scraps of meat
were provided for breakfast, and if the
little fellow decides to stay he will be
adopted as a member Of the family.

called passed midshipmen." occupying
an anomalous position between the en-
listed men and the commissioned officers
of the navy. While In that state they have
absolutely no rights Of an officer. though
in many cases discharging the duties OF
officers and bearing their responsibilities.
In case they are disabled in the line Of
duty by accident or by sickness. or, In
the case Of war, by wounds they have no
claims for retirement or for pensions
Should they die in the service during
these two years. their families have no
claims whatever. Yet as soon as the
intervening period is passed they become
ensigns. and as such enjoy all the rights
and privileges pertaining to the holding
of a commission.
Thus for two years these graduates
lack that which is automatically extended
to the graduates Of the Military Academy.
although they are exposed to all the per-
lis OF sea duty and service in trying eli
mates. Unless they possess special In
fiuence, they are unable to obtain relief
in the case Of disablement. and there have
been instances where these passed mid
shipmen' have for no fault Of their own
been dropped from the service without
any form Of compensation.
The Inconsistency between the treat
ment Of these graduates and those of
West Point is so glaring that official rec
concentrations have strongly been made
for the passage Of the proposed legisla-
ton. the enactment Of which would add
only an insignificant sum to the cost OF
the naval establishment and would materi-
allyimprove the morale of the service by as
suring to every young man who graduates
from the governments naval school the
same consideration that is given to his
brother in arms who has been fitted for
the military service at West Point. 1t is
to be hoped that the Senate will have an
opportunity before this present session
closes of passing the bill.

The sting of OIL Joe's eloquent reforma-

New York and the Senate.

Mayor Gaynor's advocacy OF Edward
M. Shepard for the United States Senate
is fervent. but far from discreet. 1t may
prove destructive. If it does not, Mr..
Shepard will have reason to thank his
stars
Says tho mayor: During a generation
the state of New York has been repre-
sented in the United States Senate by
men who were mere lobbyists from their
youth up, or corruptionists in politics.
This severe and sweeping assertion
makes it in order to call the roll.
Was Roscoe Conkling either a lobbyist
or a corruptionist? One of the most
forceful political orators Of his day, and
free from all taint of money-on that
score as clean as hounds tooth-he left
Office after twenty years service poorer
than when he entered. Francis Herman,
who for a term was Mr.. Conkling's col
league, stood among the best men of his
day.
Warner Miller and E. G. Lapham had
both served in the House, and were clean
and capable men.
William NJ. Evarts came to the Senate
late in life and did not distinguish him
self there. but intellectually and in every
other way he was entirely worthy of the
arena. In the Senate he was a spent
giant, whose strength had been consumed
in other fields.
David b. Hill took high rank In the
Senate both as lawyer and legislator, and
in voting against the Gorman-Wilson tar
in bill exhibited as much character and
courage as that chamber has ever wit
messed.
Edward Murphy, jr., and Thomas c.
Platt as senator's appeared to be misfits.
Neither had equipment for the Office. But
neither trailed it in the muck Of lobbying
or corruption.
Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Root are now in
office. The former stands we'll. the latter
at the top. AS the recognized leader of
the American bar, and with a record Of
conspicuous success in the War Depart
ment and then in the State Department,
Mr., Root Is the hope of his party in the
Senate for some of the best and most diff
ficult work. II he lives and remains in
commission. he will make as much reputa-
ton In the Senate as he had made before
entering that body.
Mr.. Shepard Is a lawyer of the first
class and Is man above reproach, and
his election to the Senate would please
many New York democrats. But 1t is
quite misunderstanding, indeed, to New
York-to say that 1t would redeem the
name Of the state from a reproach a gen.
Grafton long. II Mr.. Shepard becomes the
colleague Of Mr.. Root he will be fortu-
nate IL he appears above the horizon now

learning much that is undesirable. be-
sides losing rest. There is no desire on
the part OF the Commissioners to curtail
the commercial opportunities of the juve-
nile merchants who are compelled by
family circumstances to engage In trade.
They do feel. however. and with much
reason, that there is no occasion for the
children staying downtown until late at
night, and 1t is to be hoped that Congress
will promptly respond to the request
for an amendment.
1t would be even more desirable If
Congress would enact some form of a
curfew law. applying to all children, re-
gardless OF whether they have been reg
istered under the child labor act. An evil
now fiagrantiy In evidence in this city
is the presence on the downtown streets
late at night of young boys and girls
who should be at home. and whose
parents should OF their own initiative
keep them there. The manner In which
they parade up and down few of the
principal streets of the city until an hour
when they should be asleep under their
own roofs is evidence that the law should
intervene and supply the parental au-
thority now lacking. The popularity OF

Is the House Too Large /?
From the New York World.

The House Of Representatives is more
responsive to the wishes of the people
than the Senate, not because it is larger
but because it's members are elected di.
rectly by the people every two years
The trainers of the Constitution intended
that it should be the more responsive
body and that the Senate should be
check upon 1t. The House, however, Is
not good legislative body. 1t is big and
clumsy and unwieldy. That is why the
Senate has become more powerful than
the House in shaping legislation. It's
to debate measures more thoroughly and
to give the necessary attention to all the
details of important bills under consider
alton. Increa sing the size OF the House
will still further increase the influence
Of the Senate.
