THE BATHROBE
FOR STREET WEAR,

Shortly after the Christmas holidays,
In those communities where smartness
OF attire is supposed to be slow to
penetrate, there is almost sure to be at
least one instance where the recipient
of smoking jacket blossoms forth in
all the pride of broad Scotch plaid,
happy in the assumption that he is
wearing the latest style of what he
vaguely knows as Tuxedo.
Superior persons, who have been to
town-who know all about the eoui
torial significance of 6 o'clock and the
delicate line of demarcation between
the swallow tail and the dinner coat
are apt to smile induIgcntly at this
smoking jacket vSriant of the Tuxedo.
They make it clear, in terms almost as
broad as the plaids on the smoking
jacket, that the oyster supper and the
house warming and the moving picture
show are not the proper environment
fol-. that sartoral confecton, faced in
red and green and blue, which was in
tended for the bosom of the family.
And yet if few brave spirits were
to band together with the determination
of making smoking jackets de riguer
for street wear or even for the opera
the chances are that they would soon
enlist very considerable following.
If they failed it would be because they
were mere men.
How do We know this! Just look out

Consistory as
Proposed Will
Be Plus Fifth

ROME, Oct. 29.-The proposed con-
sistory reported to have been an
nounced for November will be the fifth
held by Pope Plus y. On the death
of Leo Nil there were sixty-four
cardinals. During the last eight
new ones, of whom two have died.
Thirty of the cardinals who took part
in the election of Cardinal Sarto as
Pope also have died.
The last consistory was held in De-
cember, 1907, four cardinals being ap-
pointed at that time. Since then
many vacancies have occurred in the
Sacred College by death, and now
there are twenty-five seats of the to-
tai of seventy untitled.
Since 1907 the intention to hold a
consistory has been announced from
time TO time, and on each occasion
for various causes.
The question of the appointment Of
another American cardinal has been
sndsf sev rmbF of
nell. Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago,
and Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul be-
ing mentioned. But on one occasion 1t
was stated that the Pope adhered to
should have not more than one car
dinal during the life Of Cardinal Glib
bonS.
Both the announcement of a con-
SiStory and the names of those who are
to be elevated to the cardinalate caused
much surprise here. The intentions OF
the Pope were kept entirely secret. the
general absorption in the war aiding
materially in maintaining the secrecy.
The selection of the new cardinals Is
the subject of interesting comment
owing chiefly to the recognition the
United States has received That coun-
try has been grented three red hats,
which gradually will become a kind ot
acquired right for the American epi-
scopacy. Mgr. Falconio Is an Ameri:
can citizen, and with Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishops Farley and O'Conne!l
will bring the number of American
prelates in the sacred college up to
four.
The elevation of Archbishop Farley
has caused a generally excellent i'm
preston, as. besides his eminent quail
ties, he is head of one of the most i'm
1t is stated that soon the American
Cardinals will be further increa sed. sa
as to give the West a representative IN
the senate of the church.
For the first time since the rupture
with France Cardinals have been select
ed from that country. The four named.
added to the three already existing.

been recognized. Mgr. Mendes Bello.
patriarch of Lisbon, having failed TO re-
ceive the red hat, indicating that the
Concordat with that country must have
retroactive effect. Mgr. J. Tonti,
Papal nuncio at Lisbon. also has been
passed over, while Mgr. Vico, Papal
nuncio at Madrid, and Mgr Cratic,
Papal nuncio at Vienna, have been
honored.
1t is remarked that only FIVE Italians
have been chosen, but II Is believed that
before the consistory is held two or
more will be added to the list.

Dr. Tinda in Dire Straits Gets Gable Announcing That
Donor, Scotte, and All Papers Have Been
Burned in Manila

1t is all over with DR.. Tindall and his
Wizick. When he was met by a Times
man this morning a look of sour disgust
had taken permanent lodgment upon
his features in the place of that air Of
nope he has worn during his month 3
quest for Information concerning a cer-
tain Wizick his friend Scottie had sent
him from the Philippines some time ago.
The one-time blithesomeness that mark
ed him as one Of the most gracious Of
Washington's high officials. has given
way to that dull depression that sits
upon the man wrestling with a great
disappointment. For DR.. TindaIl has
given up his quest for the answer to
that burning question, what is a Wiz
ick?"
Yes, It's all over WITH" he sighed,
when asked what success he ,hau met
with last week in his search for infor-
nation. You know I told you how that
Wizick which Scottie had sent me from
Manila, the only one left in the world,
he had cabled, after escaping the perils
OF the sea had gotten loose from a rail-
road train out In the pathless wilds Of
Nevada, and was now roaming all to
himself somewhere between Patagonia
and the Yukon. a..

FIREMEN'S AND POLiCEMEN'S
ss.... PENSIONS.

There is danger that, in the effort
temporarily to replenish the District
governments funds for payment of fire
and police pensions, serious mistake
may be made. The earnest friends of
the pension system should bestir them
selves to oppose perpetuation of a
thoroughly bad system.
The dog taxes and Police Court fines
now constitute the sources of funds
for the pensions. This is in principle
wrong. 1t is wrong, for one thing,
because no law should set premium
on the activity and enthusiasm of the
Police Department., inspiring it to
special efforts to make the fines Just
as large as possible. That sort of
thing is demoralzing. The business of
the police is to maintain the best pos
sible conditions, not to conduct Il
money making department by turning
the Police Court into a grist mill to
grind out revenue. The Police Court
fines ought to be turned into the
Treasury, and reappropriated for what
ever purpose the legislative authority
deems proper. To give them to the
pension fund is to offer special induce
ments to boost fines, organize cases, and
generally make public order con-
sideration secondary to the prime pur-
pose of getting as much money as may
be out of the police administration.
Aside from this consideration, in
which every citizen must be interested,
there is a principle at stake. If it is
good public policy to grant pensions for
this class of public servants, then the
principle should be frankly and un.
qualifiedly accepted. There ought to be
no half hearted, hesitating acquiescence
in it, with the reservation that the
benefciaries must earn their pension
money. That is utterly wrong. Con-
gress should make direct appropria-
tior, on the estimate of the Commits
sic ~ for pensions.
NJ ser, long ago there was pro-
posal to patch together fund from
miscellaneous and uncertain sources,
with which to pension teachers. The
measure was generally bad, and lab
to abuses; but the worst thing about
it was the fact that it was patch
work affair of people who wanted to
make a sort of pension porridge of
the leftover scraps of revenue. That is
no way to do such a thing, and it was
an excellent thing that the proposed
plan was defeated.
For years the District sidewalk ex-
tension fund was limited to the citi-
zens' contribution of one half the cost
of walks. 1t worked altogether badly
Without regard to necessities in a par
ticular year, no more could be spent
on new walks than the amount receiv-
ed from this source. Sewer extensions
were limited in like fashion. Thos,
archaic and undesirable laws have been
repealed. and these funds have been
provided for by direct appropriation,
while these classes of receipts go to
the Treasury.
The same plan should be applied to
pensioning, and no real friend of the
firemen and policemen will be satisfied
with less than this complete, square
toed recognition of the pension policy
