College Girl as a Wife.

Stung by the oft-repeated accusation
that college girls do not make good
wives, Prof. Amy Hewes, of Holyoke
College, has been offering some data
among the graduates of that school,
covering period of half a century.
1t appears from her researches that
4Io per cent of the graduates of Mount
Holyoke have married. The percent
age seems low, but it is explained by
the fact that inforn-Ation could not be
secured from all the older graduates,
and many of the recent classes are not
yet beyond the marriageable age Any
how, the percentage is sufficient to dis
prove the theory that college women do
not marry. Fifty-eight per cent of
the men who welded the HoIyoke
graduates were college bred, showing
fairly well that like seeks like, and that
the girls of Holyoke exercise some
discrimination in accepting husbands
More important still is the fact
brought out by Miss Hewes that not
one divorce has been asked for or
granted to a graduate of Holyolce, and
no domestic trouble, so far as she could
find out, has ever crossed the threshold
of the homes of these college folks.

Chevy Chase Incorporation.

The residents of Chevy Chase have
every reason to feel indignant at the
manner in which they have been
treated. After having agreed to incor-
porate their section, and having spent
considerable time in framing a salts
factory charter, they find their repre-
sentatives in the Maryland legislature
disregarding their wishes and endeav-
oring to force upon them a tax levy
proposition which they have not asked
and do not want
The sentiment for incorporation was
overwhelmingly manifested by the vote
of Io4 to IS This practically univer-
sal desire is, however, to be denied
solely for partisan reasons. The
Chevy Chase settlement is supposed to
be Republican, while the county is
Democratic, and for this reason it is
to be prevented from enjoying a sep
arate corporate existence. This basis
of opposition would be at once dis
missed as puerile and impossible were
it not for the fact that il was openly
given at the recent conference in
Annapolis 1t is, moreover, the only
reason which has been offered for the
antagonistic attitude of the legislators
who oppose the incorporation plan.
The people in Chevy Chase are en-
titled to the privilege which they seek.
At present they have no government,
no organization. They have no voice
in the disposition of the large sums
which they annually pay as taxes. To
keep them in this condition is un-
American and unfair.

The District Waterways.

In one respect Congress has been
liberal with the District of Columbia.
Since the modern idea of improving
rivers and harbors went into effect,
$38S73S has been spent within the
District lines in the way of making
the harbor approaches available for
deep-draft ships. This has been done
while S627yooS,236 has been spent in
other parts of the United States. In
other words, within a given period the
District has profted by about one-tenth
of per cent of the public expenditures
for this purpose. This has come
about for two reasons-the pressing
need of the Improvements in the be-
ginning, and the large area of water
ways to be worked upon in the District.
The work done has reference almost
wholly to providing better facilities for
shipping Much remains to be done
for sanitary purposes and for the ulti-
mate Identification of the city, after
channels have been cleared and the
streams, particularly the Anacostia
River. have been confined in their nat
ural beds. The work of dredging the
Anacostia is merely waiting action by
Congress with regard to certain
riparian rights, when $4,000 will be
available for continuing the public
work upon that stream. When fin
ished, the stream will be confined
within a narrow space, and the tide
swept swamps which border it will be
transformed into dry land, capable of
improvement for parks or other pur-
poses. Also, with the dredging of the
Anacostia will pass the gravest men,
ace to the health of the people of the
Capital
Liberality in this regard is wisely ex-
tended, and while the acts of Congress
in the past are duly appreciated by the
people of Washington, the work upon
the waterways should not be allowed
to stop or lag until the city is available
as a port for big ships and is free from
its ancient swamps and low lands that
have been an eyesore to the Capital
during the century of its existence.

Has Revenue Surplus.

An interesting and significant report
has been made public in Canada from
the minister of finance, in which it is
pointed out that the Dominion treasury
has had a surplus of S3oyooo,ooo during
the fiscal year ending March 81 The
minister states that this large surplus
was mainly expended upon the Ma
tional Transcontinental Railway, the
amounts required in construction be-
ing taken directly out of the treasury
instead of being put in the form of a
public debt. Over and above the money
so expended a balance was left for the
liquidation of the net outstanding debt
of the Dominion.
This increase of revenues is at
tributed by the minister to the doub-
ling of the volume of foreign trade
since 1000, and the large advances
made in this direction during the fiscal
year.
Canada, like the United States, is
occupied with the problem of tariff re-
duction. The piling up of so great a
surplus in the treasury each year is
not regarded as needful or good states
nlanship. As yet the Dominion gov
ernment has no set programme OF
tariff revision, but it has a commission
at work upon the problem, and the
minister of finance has announced that
when sufficient data has been accumu-
lated to enable the commission to act
intelIigently a tariff bill will be re-
ported TO Parliament and pressed for
passage.
The prosperity of the Dominion. as
shown in the great increase in foreign
trade, is a matter of satisfaction to
Canadians, and indicates that the ma
ton, like our own, is making vast
progress in the way of material devel-
opment

War Secretary stimson's recent decla-
ration In favor Of Will Taft for our next
ruler, rather than T. Roosevelt, recalls
the circumstances that showed him into
public life.
Some six years ego. stimson. then
visiting here. was riding through Rock
Creek Park on horseback. which Is his
favorite recreation, when he heard his
named called. On the other side OF the
creek rode President Roosevelt and Elihu
Root. then Secretary of War. Root Is
not ordinarily much Of q Jester, but on
this occasion. egged on doubtless by T.
Roosevelt, he shouted rosuishly at Stim-
son:
Sergeant Stimson. you are commanded
by the President of the United States
TO cross over to the other side Of the
creek"
Tho creek was swollen at that time,
and neither Root nor Roosevelt had any
idea that Sergeant Stimson-sergeant Of
Troop in New York City-would un-
dertake such a fool risk as crossing TO
the other side. But Stimson, without
stopping to ask the who or why, plunged
his horse right down the embankment
into the chilly waters Of the creek with
all the abandon of a colored convert at
an old-fashioned public baptizing.
When he finally reached the other
shore and gave the President and the
War Secretary a formal military salute
of obedience, T. r. promptly sent him
back home to take OF his wet clothes
and go 20 bed.
II was only a few months afterward
that T. r. called Stimson TO Washington

Rock Creek incident. he seemed to be I

Cost of the Schools.

1t is not at all surprising to learn
that the schools of Washington cost
more per capita than they do in other
cities of the same size and importance.
Several good reasons why this is so,
and why it is inevitable, are presented
in the report submitted by the Bureau
of Education to the Senate District
Committee. Washington has never
gone in for cheap education, being sat
isfed when efficiency with reasonable
economy was attained. The report re-
ferred to does not present any basic
facts for the severe retrenchment in
school expenses advocated in the House
when the District appropriations bill
was under consideration there.
One reason for large expenditure is
the practical duplication of facilities to
provide for the education of the white
and colored races. Washington, too,
has a widely scattered population, and
needs more schoolhouses than other
cities. We have not in the Capital any
such conditions as are presented in
the places with which it IS compared.
Nowhere in Washington is there such
congestion of population as is found
in other large cities. In addition to
this, the policy pursued here is to have
many smaller, well-lighted and we'll
ventilated schoolhouses in preference
to fewer big ones. These cost more to
maintain. Another item which in
creases the expense is the rental Of
many unsuitable buildings for school
purposes, at high rates, when with
more buildings provided the total cost
of maintenance would be reduced 10 to
20 per cent
In one particular the balance of ex-
penditure is in favor of Washington,
but hardly to its credit. Teachers sal
aries are less here than in other cities.
What the report does not show is
that there is lack of efficiency in the
teaching force or meager results en-
suing from the operation of the sys-
tenn In this respect the Washington
schools challenge comparison, and it
is the duty of Congress, the municipal
authorities, and the people to see to it
that this degree of efficiency be main
tanned.

GROVER CLEVELAND
Ey GEORGE FITCH
Author of at Good Old Sipdsh"

On this day in the year 1851. Grover
Cleveland was born in Caldwell, N. j.
His full name was Stephen Grover Cleve-
land, but observing that up to that time
only one man who had worn a full dress
name had had time to become President.
he abandoned his first name and studied
law with the time thus saved.
Cleveland was the son Of a minister,
but declined to live up to the old joke
about minister's sons and devoted his
life to the accumulation Of knowledge and
avoirdupois. He was a large. slow man,
who put all of his ideas down in solid
concrete. thus making 1t impossible to
alter or remove them. and he early took
out a life membership in the Democratic
party and the United Disciples Of Isaac
Walton. The State of New Jersey fit

waist, he removed TO Buffalo, where he
was soon elected sheriff. and because Of
his slowness in comprehending the po-
litical advantages of minding his own
affairs first and those of the people last.
he was later on elected governor of New
York by a tremendous majority. This
made him a horse of a light chestnut
color in the next Democratic national
convention, and he was accordingly NOM

A BATTLE SHIP CONTRACT.
How Argentina Met Trouble with
American shipyard.

Amer1cau SnIpynrd.
From the PhnAdslphia Ledg-.
An interesting inside story has been
told by men who profess to be familiar
with the negotiations which terminated
when Argentina contracted with the
Fore River shipyard and with the New
York shipbuilding Company, Of Camden.
N. J., for the construction OF two battle
ships for Argenttna's navy.
II was announced by the Argentine gov
eminent that the bids for the proposed
new battle ships would be opened in Lon
don, and the general expectation was
that the vickers-Maxim Company, which
had been so successful in constructing
English battle ships would receive the
contract with Argentina The American
shipbuilders did not believe that rhe
English shipbuilders would care to put
in bids at a much smaller figure than
those upon which they obtained the Eng
lish contracts.
When the bids were opened II was
found that the American shipbuilders had
made prices so much less than the Ems
lish had done that Argentina was COM
PEELED to give the contract TO the Fore
River and the Camden shipyards. Yet,
notwithstanding the low American bids,
these battle ships are understood to have
been built at a handsome profit for the
shipbuilding companies. In the case OF
the contemplated Russian Dreadnoughts,
the contracts for which may go to the
Cramps, OF Philadelphia, that govern
ment has evidently thought II the Sett.r
part to award contracts for two Of ,hese

struction OF the other two.
The four Russian Dreadnoughts will
cost approximately s6O,0O0.OOo and France
has been appealed to TO lend the money
needed upon the security Of Russian
bonds.
