to the public convenience and safety
1t is without doubt possible to put a car
in service that is more easily reached
from the street than the great majority
of those that are running on the Wash
ington tracks. Apparently the pay-as-
you-enter type has been adopted perma-
nently here. and therefore there is every
reason to expect that in the future the
entrance platforms will be kept clear Of
standing passengers. This being the case,
there Is no object in making the rise
from the street in two steps only. BY
cutting the platform back somewhat
another step can be introduced to permit
comparatively easy ascent from the pave
ment. The reduction of the rise from
pave to the surface of the lower step
by three or four inches would very greatly
help. especially in the case of elder per-
sons and those who are carrying pack
ages or children in arms. This would also
facilitate the work of loading the cars,
which at present does not proceed with
sufIicient speed. especially at junction
points. Much Of the trouble in taking ON

Every Good Day q Gain.

Washington accepts the apologies of the
weather bureau for its failure to deliver
on time the snowstorm that was prom
ised last Saturday. There is never any
disposition to quarrel with the Official
forecasters for fall-down of this char
acter. The storm that does not come will
not be scored against the credit of the
prophecy department of the government.
even though there may be rude jibes
and jeers here and there. The real crit
lcism comes when storm arrives with
out warning or when a formal promise
Is given of a good day for a special &C.
casion and 1t Is not delivered Tech
nically the snow forecast was verified
yesterday by the very lightest of falls,
with bare whitening of the ground at
night So perhaps on the books of the
weather bureau the prediction is carried
as correct. There is one supreme con-
ISOLATION at this time Of the year in that
every fair day is gain toward spring.
1t Is now the 18th of February, and there
is but little likelihood of more than four
weeks of possible winter weather 1t is.
of course, possible that in those four
weeks Washington may he visited by the
worst storms of the season and suffer the
lowest temperatures. But there is no rea
son to be pessimistic now, for some balny
days are sure to come. and each is to be
regarded as a blessing and a gift, what
ever may be the portion of the capital
at other times.

The Chinese Change.

The fall of the Chinese empire has been
80 definitely foreshadowcd for such a
considerable time that the final procIa
nation of the abdication at Picking
causes no surprise. and yet a profound
sense of a mighty change A year ago
the prediction that this was possible
would have been greeted with unqualified
incredulity. Even when the revolution
was declared 1t was the general comment
throughout the western world that a Chi
nese republic was unthinkable. Never
theless here stands the situation tcday.

edging that the mass of the people desire
a republic and acknowledging the prefer
ence of the peoples hearts as 1.-The will

abdication asks, could the throne oppose
the desires Of millions for the glory OF
one family?
lie putting Of this question marks the
great change in China Never before has
there been any thought Of consulting the
public heart or the popular desire. The
Manchu has been in China for three CEN
turtles, not because China wanted the
Manchus. or because they gave the Chi
nese good government, but because to
them It was fertile field for exploita-
ton and because they throve nightly
and gained immense profits and great
power. There was never any thought of
real government. No idea of progress
entered the minds of those who had ap-
pointed themselves to be the guardians
and rulers OF tho Chinese people. The

The death of Lord Lister removes one
of the greatest benefactors Of the race

putations was almost as high as fifty per
centum. More serious operations were
undertaken only under absolute necessity
and the death rate was at least three out

slight surgical incisions. and days and
weeks of suffering, IL not death, were the
consequence. Lord Lister made possible

West Point Vacancies.
rom the Cincinnati Times-star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
That the United States Military Acad-
envy is not permitted to do all that II is
capable of accomplishing is not at all to
the satisfaction of those who take pride
in that famous institution. At the pres
ent time there are fifty cadet vacancies at
the academy. due either to the failure Of
applicants to qualify or to the failure Of
congressman to make nominations. This
state of affairs is not new. The number
of cadets on the roster is always under
the full quota. This means that West
Points output of graduates is not numer-
ically as large as it might be or should
be. The young men trained at the ma
tional school on the Hudson are needed.
If the army does not need them, the
country does. West Point graduates have
done much in aiding the development Of
the country to be overlooked as a factor
of importance. An amendment offered to
the pending army appropriation bill by
Senator Briggs of New jersey himself a
West Point graduate, provides that when
ever cadetship is available from any
state or any congressional district, and
unless the appointing senator or repre-
sentative shall name an eligible candidate
within six months, the President shall fill
the vacancy by an appointment at large.

Mr.. Roosevelt at Columbus.

Mr.. Roosevelt gives a good reason for
accepting the invitation to Columbus.
Ohio. after declining invitations to de-
liver addresses at other places. The re-
vising of state constitution is such work
as invites general attention. and creates
a desire on the part Of serious minded
men to help.
Still, the work in the large sense, is po-
ltical and of q nature to develop the
school to which a helper belongs. Gov.
Harmon has just discovered this. He ad-
dressed the convention the other day. and
outlined his thoughts about some of the
political issues of the day. What is called
his conservatism was very frankly pro-
claimed. He rejected the initiative and
referendum and the recall, and those
democrats already opposed to his presi-
Dental aspirations found additional
grounds for their opposition. The Gov
ernor of Ohio is not Bryanite, and not
likely to become one.
Shall we see Mr.. Roosevelt improve his
opportunity TO put himself on record re-
spect.ng the questions that now divide
the republicans? In the cancellations
current he is classed as a leader-the
leader-of the so-called progressive wing
of his party. But no clear line appears
that of Mr.. Taft. If they are divided it
is more in the way of personal adherents
than In anything else the public can see.
There are republicans who trust Mr.
Taft and distrust Mr.. Roosevelt, and vice
versa, but In some cases we are much in
the dark as to why.
The foremost issues of the day are the
tar.n and the trusts, the former relating
largely to business. the latter to law. Mr.
Tafis attitude toward both is well
known. He has explained his views as to
protection. and his knowledge Of the law
has given to his views about trust regula-
ton large value In both legal and busi-
ness circles.
Where does Mr.. Roosevelt stand? Pre-
sumably he is a protectionist. But how
far does he go? Had he been President,
what would have been his action toward
the Payne bill? A veto. or a qualified ap-
prevail such as Mr.. Taft gave? During
his seven and a half years in the White
House he made no recommendation at ali
as to the tariff.
As to the trusts, when Mr.. Roosevelt
was President he invoked the law against
them with good results, and Mr.. Taft
has done the same thing Mr. Taft pro-
poses a continuation OF that policy, and
thinks the law as II stands SUFFICIENT to
deal with the evil. In what way would
Mr.. Roosevelt have the law amended?
Those who expect an address at Column
bus defining Mr.. RooseveIts attitude to-
ward the Chicago nomination may be dis.
appointed, but that 1t will add TO the in
terest In the general political situation is
a reasonable expectation.

place In the Manchu scheme Of thingy
That their dominance lasted for three
hundred years was due first to their own
shrewdness and second to the supineness
Of the Chinese; q great mass OF unor-
ganized, unnationalized people OF widely
varying dialects and habits. Ultimately
there came into the Chinese situation the
inevitable element of a common sense Of
grievance. 1t took longer for the Chiness
to reach the point of revolution tha1
would have been the case in any other
part of the world, with perhaps one or
two exceptions, and it must always be

Now China becomes a republic, by
force Of arms and final acknowledgment
by the dethroned dynasty. What will its
future be? The second stage of reorgani-
cation is beginning, with even greater
difficulties athan those which attended the
first. The United States stands pledged
to respect Chinese integrity, and is even
now endeavoring to secure it through
agreements between the powers. 1t

Public Fairgrounds.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.


City life presents many complicated
problems on the social as well as the
economic side. The town child is as
much in need of Fairgrounds as his coun-
try cousin. The noisy. dirty street Is
dangerous and insanitary. But it is,
often, the only place in which many a
city child can either play or exercise.
City property, in congested districts, is
costly. But this should not deter the new
recreation board from selecting appro-
pirate sites for public Fairgrounds where
they are a necessity, and the city should
not balk at paying for them after due in
spectiOn has demonstrated their useful
ness and necessity. Youngsters Of both
sexes require elbow room. not only to de-
velop physically. but to have some outlet
for their normal animal spirits, which, If
repTessed, will develop in unhealthy d.
rections and subject the plastic mind OF
the young to the wiles of those question
able diversions SO. abundant in all large
cities. A neighborhood playground may
cost money, but it will pay dividends in
health, morality and good order.

The Boss Bugaboo.

Fashion changes-in dress, in literature,
in heroes, in hoOdoos, in bugaboos ANA
the change is sometimes rapid and radi-
cal. The fancy of one year Is not that
Of the next. A woman out Of date in the
matter Of raiment becomes a guy. "A
reader with a copy of last years best
seller in his hand is laughed at. The
worshiper. of hero who has passed
excites amusement. And man who
shrinks from an exploded hoodoo or a
stale bugaboo is reckoned to be childish.
So runs the world away.
Not so long ago when tainted money"
was mentioned, either in connection with
religious, or educational, or political ac-
tivities. the boss bugaboos, so to say,
were John D. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie. Their piles were blacklisted
in many quarters. The one man, it was
charged, had made his money by op-
pressive trust methods, the other through
the operations Of the protective tariff.
Touch not. handle not, the unclean coin.
Politicians particularly were warned.
These two men as respects politics are
now in eclipse. The boss bugaboo of the
day is Thomas F. Ryan. Nobody seek
ing Office wants his assistance. AT any
rate, everybody accused of turning visit
full eyes toward his wallet denies the
charge. Neither the Wilson, the Harmon,
the Clark nor the Underwood boomers
have seen, or want to see, the color of
his money. If an affidavit is desired it
will be made while the doubter waits.
This testifies to two things: % That
Mr.. Ryan has money and in politics has
been a liberal spender, and C) that he is
not supposed to be in politics for . his
health. Both propositions are true, but
probably not truer of Mr.. Ryan than of
other men Of his class. The liberal
spender for others in politics usually
wants something for himself, and usually
gets it. Why then is Mr.. Ryan picked
out from the company he keeps for buga-
boo purposes?
Maybe it is because he was for years
the associate of William c. Whitney,
and is believed to have learned lessons
of that master manipulator. Mr.. Whit
ney played the game Of politics with
great skill and success. and always, with
personal object in view. He had "con-
nections" on both sides of the line. and
rarely lost out" No democratic leader
realized more handsomely from the two
successes achieved under Mr. Cleveland's
leadership.
Is Mr.. Ryan offended by the bandying
of his name about as at present? II so,
he is too good politician to say so.
Silence seems to fit him like a glove.
He has many friends. Mr.. Watterson is
one, and proclaims the fact Mr.. Cleve-
land was another, and was of value to
Mr.. Ryan at the time of the big insur
ance readjustments in New York. If the
politicians do not want Mr.. Ryan's
money, or. rather, are afraid to take it.
he will have the more for other purposes;
and it may amuse him to see his fellow
plutocrats assessed for coin no better
than his own, while he remains safe from
intrusion.

Governors Island is a military base OF

that its sale for commercial purposes
would be a serious weakening OF our
whole system Of national defense. Since

the resulting abandonment Of many wide-
