be misled about any feature of the con-
gressional situation. What a senator or

should be accurately reported
But the public sometimes misleads it
self, and that cannot be provided against.
Take the case of Col. Il. He is regarded
as the most eloquent and convincing

II told that Washington did not know

when speaking had an audience of more
than a dozen of his fellow members, they
would set down the statement as a cam
paign lie. They could not be brought to
believe so poorly of the capital Of their
beloved country, or of the men chosen
to sit in the popular branch of the ma
tional legislature.
And yet the statement would be exactly
true. Col. Il. is all that he stands for at
home-a rafting good speaker, and a
good man. But in Washington as a MEM
Der of the House he is only one of
many such. The stage is crowded with
entertaining performers. The show never
stops. Only topliners fill the seats and
get the hands, and even they not often.

Save the Cavalry.

The democratic military economy pro-
gram Is not Endorsed by the weight of
intelligent opinion in the United States.
Economy il an elastic word. Economy
as opposed to extravaganza is approved
some special interest at stake Economy
al the expense OF efficiency and national
safety is not wanted by any Americans
in whom there il blend OF patriotism
and sagacity. The politician who in the
practice of economy strikes at some gov
ernmental activity or federal function in
which there is no waste mistakes the
temper of the people.
The curtailment of the battleship build
ing program and the reduction of the
cavalry branch of the military estab-
lishment by five regiments constitute
forms OF retrenchment not popular with
the people The consolidation OF naval
stations and military posts would be wise
economy and commends itself generally
to the American public, though il is an
ecnnomy difficult to effect because OF
the combined opposition of localities adj
yerSely affected. IL is form OF re-
treHchment which requires courage on
tho part of congressman. To refuse
money for new ships and to disband five
regiments is a plan for cutting down ex-
cutfon because il does not provoke oppo-
sition from communities in congressional
districts, but il is an economy that will

Stop the Strike.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Whether the President intends 10 take
active steps to prevent an anthracite
strike, as it is rumored, is not yet clear
The presidential power is at best very
slight. The federal government has, il
is true, certain powers through the inter
state commerce commission and other ip-
strumentalities in so far the sale and
distribution of the coal enters into inter
state commerce, but ii must be remen-
bered that President ROoseveltS action in
1902 was wholly in the direction of moral
sua sion. His initiative was eXtra-legal
and by great good luck, he was enabled
supported as he was by public opinion, to
force both operators and miners to bind
themselves to accept the award of that
notable tribunal, which seems to have
been ins pred by the spirit of justice and
guided with consummate ability. The
President may do much az a general rep
resentative OF the whole people in acting
as a focus of the public opposition to the
strike but the anthracite industry is
wholly a state affair and under the sole
Jurisdiction of this commonwealth.

The River as a Playground.

The opinion of an oarsman published
in The Star recently was that 1.-The
Middle States regatta can be obtained for
this city" and that if the proper efforts
were put forth by those interested there
would be little doubt that the big event
would be scheduled to take place OH the
Potomac on Labor day.
The opinion is pleasing one and the
proper efforts will probably be put forth.
The idea is promising, but beyond this it
presents text for a homily. and this is
that Washingtonians seem not to appre-
ciate to the full the grandeur and the
beauty of the Potomac. There are boat
clubs with fine quarters and earnest
membership. but the spirit of aquatic
sport does not burn and throb i'm the pop
ulation as a whole. The river is a
splendid playground. 1t is dangerous and
treacherous. as a rule. only to those who
take thoughtless liberties with it. To
those who know it and love it and respect
1t, it requites affection a hundred fold.
There should be more swimming beaches
and probably will be. There should be
more rowing. Regattas, general aquatic
sports and the like are good in them
selves. and would advertise the river and
call the attention of the youth to its pos
sibilities as a source of understanding
pleasure.
One of the thoughts that must strike a
man who knows his Washington is that
there is too much aimlessness and idle
ness among the big boys, the young men
and the old men. They want to watch
games instead of playing them. They
want the other fellow to do the play
ing and get the exercise while they stand
around, smoke cigarettes and act as
critics They are missing golden oppor-
tunities. There is time for them to be-
come critics when age has bent their
backs. Then they may be reasonable
critics and entitled to attention.
The boys ought To be more active. They
should be members of rowing and swim
ming clubs; they should be serving the
coiors in the National Guard; they
should play base ball and foot ball Ii
would be better than lounging around
pool parlors or lettering on the corners.
Most of the boys are all right but too
many of them have a warped notion of
what constitutes sport

not to be reduced. II there is disprOpor-
ton between it and the infantry the
proper way of adjustment would be to
| increase the infantry. Good cavalry re-
quires time in the making. Hastily or
| ganized cavalry is joke. Volunteer cav
airy until trained and seasoned close up
to the veteran point is Ineffective. I'm
provised cavalry reaches its greatest de-
gree of inefficiency as Americans lose the

Americans lived in the woods and fields.
could ride and shoot, and had natural
EYE for country" and when battle was
more a matter Of individual valor than of
organization and method, it was practi-
cable to put new troops in the field. Con-
ditions have changed. 1t is perhaps true
that it takes longer to turn out an in
fantryman of maximum campaign capac-
ity than it does to turn out cavalry
man or an artilleryman, but an average
citizen may be quickly converted into
some poor fashion of an infantryman. but
when the average citizen is quickly con.
verted into a cavalryman or battery
man he is worse than useless.
In the National Guard the preponder-
ance of infantry is so large that if the
regular army and the guard were merged
the cavalry strength would be far be-
low the required ratio. Mounted organ
izations are few in the guard because
they cost more money per man to equip
and maintain. With some exceptions the
mounted organizations Of the guard. COM
pared with the guard infantry, are less
efficient. This disparity is not as pro-
nounced as formerly. Credtable prog
ress has been made in the training of
field artillery since the opening or the
school for militia artillery and cavalry
officers al Fort Riley. because Of the wise
care of the division of militia affairs and
because of the cooperation of regular
batteries with guard batteries. Guard
cavalry is weak in numbers and as yet
not noteworthy in effectiveness. Horse
owning troops and squadrons are apt to
be social more than soldier organizations.
and horse owning troops are far from
from being efficient.
There is no reason for curtailment of
the cavalry. American cavalry. in spite
of the relatively low grade of its troop
stock is the best in the world. The peo-
pie are proud of il. Its achievements
have been and will be glorious. When
cavalry is needed it is needed quickly.
Cavalry cannot be created in day.
