THE INTREPID SCOTT.

The deeds of four explorers have
stirred the world during the past two
yearsHPeary, Cook, Amudsen and
Scott.
Scott the brave and dauntess Eng

before him. Fate has dealt him

Perhaps outside of Amudsen the
world will heap richest honor on him

Cook, at least as he rambles ovel

fade away.
We would rather be Scott deat
than Cook alive.

EXALTED PLAINNESS.

We have to admire that lack of
ostentation in Mr. Marshall which
causes him to admit that he cannot
afford to maintain a house in Dupont
circle or some other fashionable
Washington thoroughfare because he
hasn't the means and his salary of
$4,000 will admit of no lavish dis
plays. Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Marshall are poor men.
OF late years there has been too
much of a tendency at Washington
to ape the courts of Europe. This
became especially pronounced during
the Roosevelt seven years.
Mr.. Marshalls frank statement OF
his position lends dignity to his office
and once more calls to mind that the
highest offices in the gift of the
American people are yet open to the
poor man
After all we think Mr.. Marshall
will find all the pofnp and luxury he
wants at the Shoreham.

RUSSIA CHANGING.

After passing the Duma, bill ad-
in Russia has been rejected by the
Council of the Empire, by the rather
close vote of "a to Sc. 1t is not long
since many American state legis-
latures would have defeated a like
measure by larger majority
Here is a striking proof not only
of the spread of women's liberties and
privileges, as well as rights, but also
of the change which are going on in
Russia and shaking the old order to
it's foundations. True, there have
been Muscovite expresses, two OF
them among the strongest sovereigns
that ever ruled the empire, but
Russia is nevertheless one of the last
countries in the civilized world which
would be expected to favor the ad-
mission of women to the bar, for in
stance, or any like innovation.
There is unmistakable progress in
Russia, n. many ways. The vast
state is being altered radically by the
pressure of modern conditions and
ideas. and whatever changes Russia
affects a tremendous mass of human
beings. There are at least IT'S, 000,-
900 subjects of the Gear, probably

Vice President in connection with
the Senate have certain Importance,
since there may arise occasions which
he determines its action by casting
vote. But the main purpose of the
office is to provide successor to the
President, when one is NEEDED during
the term of the President This func-
tion is, as we have had repeated cause
to know, of the very greatest import
ance. The man elected to it is cloth
ed with real dignity, and should be
respected accordingly. He should, of
course, respect his office and himself.
as. unquestionably, Mr. Marshall will.
1t would not be consistent with this
respect for the Vice President to at
tend meetings of the Cabinet In which
he has no legal right, no duties to
perform, no responsibilities, and not
the shadow of effective power The
himself informed of the course of
affairs in the Government is particu-
larly weak. The Nation is accustom-
ed to have newly-elected President
take on himself the work of his office
with no special information or train
ing save what he may have acquired
in other public service. Sitting in the
! Cabinet room and listening to its
! legitimate occupants would be OF
little value, and would be to the last
degree tedious, disagreeable, and in
congruous with the real duties of ths
| Vice Presidential office. Mr.. Bryan
were he in position to accept sucf
an arrangement, might find it pleas
ant. To any one else we should sa'
that it would be intolerable.-Nev

A FANCIFUL SUGGESTION.

Mr. Marhsall is inclined to take
with formal politeness the suggestion
of Mr. Bryan that the Vice President
should be invited to seat at the Cab
mate table and allowed to listen to
whatever discussion goes on in the
presumably serious company there as
sembled We venture to think, how
ever, that the invitation will not be
extended, and that Mr.. Marshall
would, If he thought there were any
risk of it, manage to induce the Presi-
dent to withhold it.
Mr.. Marshall is a very good con-
stitutional lawyer. He has a genuine
respect for the prescriptions and the
limitations of the Constitution, and
for the principle that an office under
it should confine himself to the clear
duties and functions of his office. The
! Constitution contains two, and only
two, provisions as to the duties of the
Vice President One is that he shall
s.be President of the Senate, but shall
have no vote unless they be equally
divided. The other is that lin case
.'of the removal of the President from
office, or of his death, resignation, ol
INABILITY to discharge the powers ant
duties of the said office, the same
shall devolve on the Vice President.

THE BURNS DITCH CASE.

What is the status of the Burns
ditch case? Judge John H. Gillett,
one of the principal attorneys in the
case. says that it is still in the
supreme court where it has been for
year and a half.
The Burns ditch case is a piece of
litigation which developed as result
of the opposition of certain railroads
| to paying the cost of building bridges
across the ditch where it passes I'M
der their tracks.
The railroads, which are eager to
secure a part of the tremendous
amount of tonnage which is develop
ing in this remarkable Industrial
center, are opposing this project
| which will do more to develop the
side of its proposed waterway de-
ivelopment
For hundreds of years the spring
4 rains have inundated the valley of
the Little Calumet river and on ac-
count of the narrow channel at a
point southeast of Hammond the
water backs up and not only destroys
crops but washes out roads and other
improvements.
Owing to the fortunate fact that
the headwaters of the Little Calumet
river are close to the shore of Lake
) Michigan and the entire course of the
i river is practically parallel to the
shores of the lake and only ten to
: fifteen miles distant from it engineers
J have declared that it is feasible tC

LoCKED-UP HEARTS DO NO GOOD

Il don't wear my heart on my
sleeve" is a pet boast.
But it's an excellent place to wear
it if it entails pieasantness and
courtesy to all the ships which pass
US.
A double-barred, locked-up heart is
SO hard to reach that people grow
weary before they find the way to
pick the lock.
Kindness and good feeling are
of little use when they are bottled
up, Theoretically sealed and decanted
only on some rare red letter day.
Most of us live rather loveless
lives, have plenty of cares and
worries, and we need life's wrinkles
to be smoothed out.

pulsively write letter to the Chicago
mistakes or ''misstatements" of
some other newspaper.
This would be contrary to the ethics
of journalism, besides being an i'm
pertinence-
Any newspaper has errors enough
of its own to rectify without under
taking the extraneous and unpieas-
ant task of correcting it's contempora-
ries. As we should prefer those who
have grievances, real or fancied, to
bring their cases to court here, in
stead of taking them elsewhere, so
we assume that other newspapers
prefer to receive complaints or criti-
cism direct.
Again, their readers have seen
their errors; ours have not. 1t would
be absurd to lay before our readers
the error in order to explain its
refutation
Any person who thinks he finds a
misquotation or Misrepresentation in
newspaper columns may be sure of an
audience with the editor responsible
for publication.
Should amends be refused then
and not till then-is it time to take
the matter to a contemporary.
The greatest error is that of the
reader who thinks that every news
paper will refuse TO correct itself OF
will welcome the chance to impeacl
others.

ADVERTISING AND HUMAN LIVES

The chicago City Railway COM
pany is using illustrated display ad-
vertising in the newspapers of it's
home city to promote its campaign
of safety for passengers 1t is a good
idea and fine way OF reaching the
people.
Every dollar that the traction COM
pany spends in advertising of this
kind will save it ten in damage suits
and settlements. 1t will also tend to
conserve life and limb and what
more it stamps this corporation as a
progressive and humane one.

been in the case of the Hammond
school board litigation, and only the
delays of the law can prevent an
early victory for the people.

made today by William B. Patterson
of this city, at the forenoon session of
the first annual Progressive confer

who discussed social and Industrial
progress, is secretary of the commits
sion Of social service of the Philadel-

of the department of social and indus
trial justice of the Progressive League
of Philadelphia. After denouncing in
dustries that ..thrive upon the pluck
ing of cradles and kindergartens in the
interest of their debased commercial
ism," Mr.. Patterson took up the sub
ject of women's wages and said;
'sThe element of justice seems to find
little place in the principle or the lack
thereof, that governs the wage scales
of women. While it is unjust to
charge that the under payment of wo-
men is the chief cause of their lapse
from virtue yet there are types of
modern business that are beyond ques-
ton immeasurab1e factors in the COM
