 As he sat there thinking. the train stopped at q small station to change engines. When it started again the conductor came into the smoker call Ing Holtons name. He res sponded and the conductor gave him long, official appearing dispatch. The message ran as follows:
 "Holton:
 Congress declared war today Sampson will be ordered to blockade the Cuban coast. Troops will mobi- lize at Port Tampa They will pro ceed thence in transports to Cuba You will remain in Tampa, availing your self of the Chat a small torpedo boat. built for a battleship to carryJ to pre- vent any attempt to destroy trans ports.

You will work un der direct orders of the Secretary [Bongl. ROOSEVELT"
 "Whew!'
 Holton sat back in his seat. So war had come. What would happen now So far as he was concerned, Holton was likely to be well in the forefront He was exalted. thrilled in every fiber of, his being. He put the dispatch 1T his pocket and walked back through the train to his car. As he reached Miss La Tossa's section he found her folding up a bit of paper and putting 1t in her waist.
 Had she, too, received a dispatch ? Holton did not doubt it. So he wasted nc words.
 Well, it has come to pass" he said; 1; war has been declared, and within a few months Cuba will be as free as even you could wish.''
 God grant it. she murmured.
 Holton held out his hand
 Good night, Miss La Tossa," he said.
 She shook his hand cordially, lin- geringly even.
 Good night" she replied.
 Her eyes sought his, and for mo- nent it seemed as though she were going to speak. Then she turned away.
 Holton waited an instant, and then he. too. averted his face.
 Good night" he said again. and went to his own berth, where the porter had completed his preparations

THE EXCISE LAW SITUATION.

Yesterday, under parliamentary conditions thai
limited action to the acceptance or rejection of one
amendment, the Jones-Works bill made temporary
appearance the floor of the House. The inadequacy
of the Bureson amendment could not be more clearly
indicated than by the vote of III to l29 by which il
was defeated.
The temper of the House is for an actual, efficient
excise law, and there two ways to get it: First,
for the Appropriations Committee bring out under
the same conditions of Mr.. Burlesons amendment Of
yesterday an amended form of the Jones' Works bill
which shall retain its essential features with its pres
ent obvious faults corrected second report out the
whole appropriation bill as it is and allow the House
to amend as if pleases.
The Times has endeavored to assist in getting
one of these two plans adopted by the Appropriations
Committee 1t hopes that today will its suggestion
favorably acted upon. Its desire is to excise
law that will be fair to the public and at the same
time work little hardship possible to the liquor
dealers who are law-abiding.

PRESIDENT TAFT ON GOLF.

number of cities, making vastly less pretensions ir
the matter of parks than Washington makes, where
public golf courses, and excellent ones are provided
in the parks. Washington ought not to be behind
in this regard.

AMBASSADOR BRYcE,s VISION.

The Hon. James Bryce, British analyst and COM
mentator on American institutions, has always been
popular with Americans because he has seemed to
understand us better than some of us understood
ourselves. He has been able to look to our future
with an understanding of what institutions will be
when projected on the screen of tomorrows.
The British ambassador never visuazed the op-
portuntes of American future more accurately and
eloquenty than when he painted his picture of the
idealized American capital of capitals" the WASH
ington of coming generations.

| ~ YNDoUBTEDLY." said Princi.
pal John Doty. Of Public
School No. q. at Mott and
Elizabeth streets. corporal
punishment is a necessity in the schools
of our city. There are complaints from
teachers all over the city who deplore
the fact that we have no sort Of pun
ishment for unruly pupils. / wouldn't
say that the growing number of young
thugs, criminals and hoodlums are the
direct result of this accomplishment
rule of our city schools, but I do believe
that it is contributory cause of this
youthful lawlessness of which we hear
and see so much.''
In like manner. with some modifica-
tons, opinions are given somewhat in
favor of corporal punishment by Dr..
John Tiidsley, principal Of De Witt
Clinton High School; Justice Mayo, of
the children's court; and many others.
The wisdom of creating corporal pun
ishment in dealing with young mis-
creants must indeed be taken with pre-
caution. since it is system emanating
from the past which has been ABOL-
ISHED. as civilization has ADVANCED.
While there is the UNUSUAL child
who may perhaps be reached only by
the FEAR of punishment, It is not the
AVERAGE. And all rules and laws
must be made for the average. and not
the exception. The exception must be
dealt with in patience.
1t Is a well-known fact that in the
past, when corporal punishment was
the rule rather than the EXCEPTION,
many a whipping was administered by
a teacher in a mood that was provoked
by bad behavior or under tempera-
mental strain that perhaps could not be
avoided by that teacher. For the in
structor is but human.
And, while many teachers undoubted-
ly are severely tried every day In dis
ciplining young America, especially in
the large city where freedom Is the

There are many ways and means OF
reaching the Young, OTHER than by
corporal punishment. There seemingly

While the work of the teacher should

THE WEBB BILL VETO.

President Tafts veto of the Webb BILL to give
States authority to control liquor brought within their
jurisdiction in the processes of interstate commerce.
raises the constitutional question in some of its
largest aspects.
The President declares the measure a violation
of the constitution, in that it is "a delegation by Con-
gress the States of the power to regulate inter-
state in liquors, which is vested exclusive
. ly in Congress"
There may be doubt whether States control of
commerce in liquors moved in interstate commerce,
is an intrusion into the realm of Federal authority
But assume tnat the President is right: what of it?
Congress has authority under the commerce clause
to regulate interstate by rail 1t delegates
some part of that authority to the interstate COM
mission.
Why has it not the right to delegate some other
part of that power to the government of State?
Doubtless there are obvious and crushing re:
ioinders to such suggestion as this; answers which
the constitutional experts would expound with fearful
force. But they not answers that will appeal to
the plain common sense of the people of CON-
munity that to keep out liquor, and that finds
the Federal Constitution preventing.
The President thinks it is wrong to pass legisla-
on of doubtful constitutionality, and compel courts
to decide upon it, lest that procedure bring the
courts into i'll repute with public opinion. This argu-
ment seems to be utterly impossible. 1t is difficult
to regard Mr. Taft quite serious in advancing it.
To adopt his suggestion, would mean that progress
in constructive legislation would wel-nigh stop.
There would be no railroad regulation code, pure
food legislation no meat inspection by Federal au-
thoritv; all these were gravey questioned as to
their constitutionaliy.
