Gen. Baden.PoWell.

The coming of Gen. Baden-Powell to
Washington is an event of some impor-
tance. While the grim hero of the
Boer war is not a member OF the no
bility, other than a knight of the realm,
he is notable figure in the worlds at
fairs. Among his other achievements
he is the founder of the Boy Scouts
and the titular hero, as well as the real
hero, OF boyhood in two continents.
Gen Baden-Powell won fame in the
Bocr war, where he conducted a gruel-
ing campaign against the farmer ma
ton, bringing II TO terms and paving the
way 10 the mihcation of South Africa
under British suzerainty. A skillful
military leader. he went into the vast
reaches OF the vcldt, and by hard
marches and through enormous diff
culties finally brought the Boer cities
to obedience and secured the submis-
sion Of the rugged and determined war
riors by driving them from their desert
Businesses, mountain kopjcs, and forti-
fed camps. He went home 10 England
after the struggle and received the or
der of knighthood at the hands of his
King.
As the founder of the Boy Scouts,
Gen. Baden-Powell commands attention.
Borrowing a plan Of organization from
the military experience of the race, he
developed a plan by which boys could
be brought TO learn the simple lessons
of obedience to discipline, courage in
emergency, and self-reliance at all
times. He comes to pay respects to the
President and TO the British Ambas-
sador. and. incidentally. to greet the
Boy Scouts of America, who are cou-
sins cf his own scouts on British soil.
Gen. Baden-PoweIl is cordially wei
come in Washington, alike for his
achievements as great soldier and for
his noble work in uplifting the boyhood
OF the world.

Ground Hog Day.

Unfortunately, the Weather Bureau
j unable 10 tell us much about the
condition of the skies on ground hog
day. and an inpatient world is peering
through the winter gloom TO learn what
the woodchuck will have to say about
an early spring. If the sun is bright
on Candlcmas day. the ground hog secs
his shadow, returns to his Information,
and forty days Of winter follow, says
the legend OF hoary fame. If clouds
obscure the sky, the woodchuck chcws
the dry clover left from last years
stock and knows that spring IS near.
Some OF us succr at the wood
chuck legend. We know in our scien-
tihc minds that the woodchuck sleeps
through CaDdlcmas day as he sleeps
every other day OF winter. be it long
or short. But 50 iugrained is the su-
perstition of ages that VIC feel a little
better If Candlcmas day is cloudy and
the ground hog legend is verified.
II IS surely to be hoped this year
that the sun will behave and that the
woodchuck's shadow may not inter
venc between a grcwsomc winter and a
hastcning spring.

Long-distanee Conduit.

The completion of the long-distance
conduit between Washington and New
York for telephone wires is a COM
mendabIe achievement
The laying of this underground cable
has been accomplished so quietly during
the past two years that it has occa-
stoned only casual mention. While
its construction has not presented any
great engineering difficulties, the
achievement IS none the less notable
because of its cost and added efficiency
to the long-distancc telephone service
Hereafter communication will be open,
even under circumstances which have
formerly interrupted the telegraph.
The motive for building the under
ground conduit for telephone use was
better service The fact was cstab-
lishcd years ago that underground
wires afforded better facilities than
those overhead, and the growth of
the telephone service between Wash
ington and New York finally gave
warrant for the construction of a sub
way between the two points, connect
ing, Of course. with the large cities and
smaller towns along the route. Un-
dergrouud wires not only escape dis
placement by storms. but they arc free
from many weather disturbances which
make telephone communication difficult
The trunk line from Washington TO
New York is naturally only the begin
ming Of similar constructions in other
parts OF the country. In the nature
OF things. the line will in time be cx-
tended TO Boston, branch lines will be
built, and the underground service will
grow apacc. II will not be a cheaper
service. but it will be more satisfac-
tory and efficient, and in that lies the
certainty Of its extension.

Nav DemOlish .the Ark"

News comes from Upper Marlboro
that the sheriff of Prince George Coun-
ty will seek to close the resort known
as THE Ark" on the Potomac River
below Alexandra by proceeding against
the owners and managers of the place,
if the evidence of gambling can be Sc
cured.
Il is a matter of common knowledge
and report that a gambling resort is
conducted on a houseboat anchored in
the waters of the Potomac just below
the city of Alexandria. The position of
the boat is outside the jurisdiction of
the Virginia authorities, and is so close
to the uncertain boundary lines between
the States of Maryland and Virginia
that the authorities of Prince George
County have hesitated to move in the
matter. But it is now thought that
the sheriff in Maryland is convinced of
his authority in the premises and will
close the resort.
The difficulties surrounding the case
are that in the original grant to Lord
Baltimore the territory of Maryland
to the south shore of the Potomac was
included. This shore line was defined
as the low water mark at ebb tide.
Furthermore, in the decisions of courts
covering the period of the life of the
United States, and dating back into
colonial times, the boundaries between
the States are taken TO mean the low
water marks between headlands or
points in the river banks.
This Interpretation placed upon the
meaning of the Lord Baltimore grant
has complicated many questions in law
between the States, and il is behind this
Interpretation of jurisdiction that "the
Ark" has flourished for several years.
1t will be of distinct public advantage.
especially to the city of Alexandria, to
have the status of authority fixed with
reference to the Ark" and to have the
resort permanently closed.
