The senators are showing a strong

Senator Rice, chairman of the com

The changes which the doctor stated
he wished to make were in the appro-

pure food inspection, and others.

A Naval Scorpion.

a singular accident that has just hap

calls the interesting history of that YES
sci. She was designed as a dynamite
ship" carrying three fixed tubes OF large
caliber pointed for high trajectory from
which heavy dynamite shells were to be
fired by compressed air. In general con-
struction she was similar to the water
boats devised during the civil war for
use during the Mississippi river cam

for high speed and rapid maneuvering.
The theory of her construction was that
she could run in quickly toward an
enemy. discharge her dynamite shells and
then retreat out of danger. In practice
IL was found that she was almost in
capable of accuracy of fire. During the
Spanish-America war she was used for
throwing shells into the Spanish works

The Public and the Traffic Ru,es.

Judging from the number of cases
noted daily in The Stars summary OF
trafic violations. there is still either
remarkable ignorance Of the law or
general indifference. on the part Of
drivers and motorists. Ii would seem
that by this time every person in
Washington knew how to go around
circle. how to draw UP to a curb. how
to fasten a standing horse and not to
pass a standing street car at an inter-
section. Yet day after day cases of
violations of the rules on these points
are cited both in terms Of collateral
and court fines. Is this because the
new traffic regulations have not been
sufficiently promulgated? Or is it be-
cause the drivers and motorists are
hostile toward the law and regard the
rules as unworthy Of obedience? II
there has not been sufficient publicity
IL is difficult TO know how to accom-
plish il. The rules have been printed
repeatedly. and for several weeks The
Star has been engaged in daily discus
sions of the whole traffic question with
specific reference to particular rules,
together with a conspicuously printed
summary of traffic violations. Perhaps
only by constant enforcement can
these rules be sufficiently advertised to
reach all classes Of street users. As. for
the attitude of hostility, it, too calls for
constant enforcement. In this respect
the American people are in need Of en-
lightenment. \ dstressingly large
percentage look upon the law as some
thing that is to be obeyed only when IT
cannot be evaded. IL the view were
taken that these regulations are for
the benefit of everybody and only the
incidental restriction Of some. in order
that the streets may be made most
fully useful and most safe. there would
be no occasion for traffic arrests and
fines and collaterals, involving loss of
time as we'll as an aggregate heavy
expenditure of money.

he best served by merging into two great
armies in accordance with their natural
Affiliations. the scattered groups of pro-
gressives.
With progressives in control of both
the great political parties the national
struggle will be between progressives who
favor direct national taxation by a grad
uated income tax and progressives who
favor indirect national taxation through
a protective and revenue-raising tariff.
and a political battle royal will result
The protectionist progressives are now
divided through the quarrel of Roosevelt
and Taft into hostile camps. In the
battle of 1872 they nullified each other
and rendered each other helpless, TO re-
sist the anti-protecton income-tax pro-
gressives Clearly they should now get
together again. under the republican
standard. and with a leader acceptable
to both armies.
Roosevelts effective bolt taught that a
progressive party will not permit Itself
to be led by real or even Inspected re,
dictionaries. Taft's successful bolt taught
that these progressives to be victorious
must not be handicapped by the candi-
dacy of a third-term President, proclaim
ing the popular recall of judicial decisions
The net result of both bolts is to admon-

contention that the republican banner is

that the same is true of those under the

sincere, pure and true progressives are
the followers of Roosevelt is to nullify
and stultify four millions of good pro-
gressives and condemn them to impotent
isolation These Rooseveltites will find

tized into fatuous impotency through alb

side near the stern, making a two-inch
hole. Prompt action and good seaman
ship prevented the laundering of the
vessel two miles from shore. This is
perhaps the first time on record that
naval vessel has been struck by her own
projectile. and it is to be hoped that
never again will an American man-of-war
suffer this experience. Certainly 1t Is
desirable that no boat ever be hit by a

The Dead" Cigar Nuisance.
,e New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
If a deliberate offense against the
nostrils of ones neighbor be an in
yasion of his rights, then surely the
man who clutches to his bosom half
burned and extinct cigar in crowded
subway or elevated car must be held
guilty. One need not oppose, with Or.
Pease all use of tobacco to protest
against this nuisance, for thousands of
smokers, as well as non-smokers, alb
hor the penetrating and nauseating
odor of dead" cigars and suffer i'm
patiently from it daily in this city's
public conveyances. The motive of
those who cling fondly to their stubs"
is, doubtless, the admirable one OF
economy. Perhaps the fact that these
stubs" are usually composed of such
nondescript material as smells most
vile and is not found in good cigars is
also due to economy. AT any rate,
those who know and love good rolled
tobacco never carry 1t about and re-
light it after it's soul is fed.
