Governor MarshaIl's Tribute.

Governor Marshal of Indiana,
candidate for vice-president on
the Democratic ticket, pays this
tribute to his mother:
II think back through the
years, the lean and the fat, the
good and the bad ones, to my ear
lest recollection, / see a woman
with an eve that flashes swift as
an arch-angel's wing and a mouth
that breaks with laughter and
hardens at sight of wrong, sing
ing lullabies; a woman, who, with
hand grasping the Unseen Hand,
walks the briar-bordered paths
of life unashamed, unafraid, I'M
harmed. She is clad in garments
OF beauty to me, and age does not
soil them nor years make them
cheap or tawdry. Her tongue is
without guile, having never been
the messenger of lie. 1t is sew
enteen years since her soul went
home to God and her fingers be-
came for me the fingers of an an
gel, but have not forgotten all
said. She told me there was a
Santa Claus, and l believed her.
He no longer brings me drums
and flies, but he bring me visions
of my mother and the music of
that angelic chorus which sang
at creations dawn and at the
hour of mans redemption

The Treaties.

On the 18th of March the Senate will
vote on the arbitration treaties between
the United States and Great Britain and
France. Further postponement of this
vote was entirely unnecessary. for the
discussion of the treaties has proceeded
already to the point of exhaustion. They
have now been before the Senate a long
enough time to be thoroughly under
stood in all their bearings. The country
expects their ratification. There is, in.
deed. a strong public sentiment in favor
OF them, and a failure on the part of the
Senate next month TO approve them will
De by no means popular. The United
States is i'm the best possible position to
take the lead In this matter of interna-
tional arbitration, and it would be q
grave misfortune for the treaties which
have been so carefully negotiated and
which represent agreement between the
United States and two of the largest
powers to submit their differences in
good faith to an International tribunal

this country upon the unconvincing
grounds that have been advanced in op-
POSITION to them.

More False Economy.
From the New York Times.

from the new 10TH limcs
The economical majority in the House
of Representatives, set upon Gripping
the army and navy Of the United States,
now proposes to eliminate five of the
fifteen cavalry regiments. The very day
this proposal is made public all of our
cavalry now stationed in Texas is ordered
to be in readiness for removal to the
Mexican border. The outbreaks in north
ern Mexico are alarming enough to justi-
fy the strengthening of our guard along
the Rio Grande, at FL Paso and points
further westward. This is needful, If
only to enforce neutrality.
1t is said that if the destructive naval
and military legislation is not carried
out the great cost of the united service
will be made an issue of the democratic
campaign this year. That may be. but II
the perfectly sensible protests of the Sec
retaries of War and the Navy are not
needed in Congress 1t is likely that the
democrats will have a heavier burden tc
carry in the campaign than they need tc
assume. They will learn that the people
of this country do not favor the Gripping
of either the army or the navy.

Graduating Dresses

Gradually there is growing in this cOun-
try among the parents of schoolgirls a
disposition to dress them more simply,
and especially at graduation time. This
is reaction from a pronounced tendency
to overdress which has been causing
great mental anguish on the part of many
children whose circumstances have not
permitted them to shine on public &C.
casions. Strong influence has been used
in Washington among the school authori-
ties to this same end, with satisfactory
results. but the movement has not gone
quite far enough. While the frills and fur
bellows have been reduced, the gradual
ing dresses of the Washington high
school girls have not yet reached the
plane of simple uniformity which should
be gained. An example of how this can
be accomplished is furnished by the grad
uating exercises of the Washington Irv-
ing High School in New York Wednesday
night, when a large class of girls ap-
peared on the platform to take their
diplomas clad in the simplest of white
duck suits, most of which cost less than
dollar and some of which consisted of
the mildly blouse gymnasium costumes
worn regularly by the girls. To make

cessive fripperies in graduating costume
three dress censors were on guard to
inform any overdressed girl that she
could not receive her diploma that night,
but must get 1t in private the next day.
SO well was the rule observed that all of
the graduates appeared on the platform.
This reform was the result of parental
rebellion against the unnecessary cost of
graduating gowns. The school is at
tended by the children of all classes of
people, including some who are mod
erately rich and others who are in hum

shoemaker whose daughter was about to

began. with the admirable results scored
Wednesday night. 1t is estimated that
the costumes of the graduating class cost
less than 800 in the aggregate. This ex-
ample should be held up to the pros
pective high school graduates of WASH
ington.

The Skyscraper Folly.
a the Boston Transcript.

Whether the city or the state is tbs
more responsible for the fact, Boston con.
tinues to invite criticism because of the
inadequacy of her building laws and
regulations. The emphasis of such criti-
cism must be placed on the lack of restric-
tons which make for safety rather than
upon the general ugliness of structural
effects. But she deserves praise in one
respect which goes far to offset shortcom-
ings in others. She called an early halt
to the skyscraping tendency. She estap-
lished conservative upward limit beyond
which building operations could not be
legally carried. and It is to be hoped that
the maximum altitude which for a num-
Der of years has been insisted upon will
never be extended.

whether We owe him more for the count
less reforms and betterments that sprang
from his pen or for the pleasure that h 6
novels have given. That his genius is
still potent force in humanitarianism
and that his writings continue to thrill

that last year no less than a million
