It's Human-That's the Trouble

The much maligned legislature will
convene at Olympia next week. We
are not looking for any violent
changes nor any strong economy
streaks to pervade it. Not alarmingly
so. Not, however, as long as we have
a legislature on the $500 plan and
propose $1,000 man to squeeze into
the job and work for the dear public.
1t is agin human nature to expect a
man to pay thousand dollars to
draw a $500 salary. Then he is ex-
pected to go there and, in the Ian
guage of Jack Johnson, bring home
the bacon" When heg ties there he
finds SO other fellows there for al like
purpose, and what is the consequence
when two burglars meet in the dark?
If we were going into the reform bust
ness we would reform the procedure
and not try to change human nature.
When you try to prevent human ma
ture from taking a piece Of pie when
hungry, and the said piece Is flung in
his face-well, you are a long way
from Tipperaly, that's all.

Dirioibie for the Navy.

partment has ordered a dirigible air

craft will be IT'S feet long, 55 feet in
height and will accommodate eight
men The speed will be Is miles an
hour This craft cannot be seriously
regarded as fighting machine, but is
probably intended merely for practice
purposes and for training operators

come superannuated. Is to be rcmod-
eled to serve, as an aviation ship, and
will be sent TO Pensacola, which is to

this paper to meet the needs of these

CHANGES IN WARFARE.
MODERN GENERALS ARE UNLIKE
THOSE OF NAPoLEoNs TIME.
Now Do Their Work Out Of Sight Of
the Armies They Command, and
Move Men as Would q
Chess Player.

Generalship today is about as much
like generalship of Napoleon's time
as two-old-cat is like major league
game. writes Frederick Palmer in Col
lier's Weekly. The general who
watches the battle from a hill will be
blown to bits by artillery fire. I've
never seen general on q horse in
this war. II he travels. II is in mo-
tor car. and lre travels very little.
He sits in front of map covered with
blue and red penciled lines OF the
trenches and the enemies A dozen
experts are around him-each a spe-
cialist He is but the chairman of
the council. the silent man who lis
tens. The others plan and organize;
he mods. Photographs from aero
planes tell him the change each day
in the trenches. He works with q
card-index system Of lives and mate
rial. An expert in brigade COM
mand decides whether it's practicable
to gain q few trenches; the division
stan decides to let the brigade COM
mander try, or perhaps carries 1t up
to the corps stan. which may in turn
pass 1t on to the great stan. A Joffre
or Won Hindenburg sits on the lid.
He must keep his mind on the great
main object; he must not bother with
details; and he must never. never
lose his head.
OF Joffre they say that when re-en-
forcements are demanded he Is always
slow to respond. Yet they always ar
rive II they are needed. In one day
have seen $4,000 French troops pass
over single line of railway, for they
may be sent very rapidly when nee
essRry.
Joffre is not caught mapping. though
he always sleeps his eight hours q
day. Won Hindenburg seems never
perplexed, never rushed. though he
has struck such telling and sudden
blows.

he was only feinting. But he did not
make half feint. 1t cost him twen-
ty or thirty thousand casualties. The
allied newspapers were rejoicing In
his repulse before Warsaw when he
was preparing his coup In East Prus-
STA. Some Germans who we're taken
prisoners in front OF Warsaw had on
their persons copies of orders fndi-
eating that the frontal attack was to
be pressed. Perhaps those Germans
fell prisoners very easily.-Frederick

proud adornment. The Nelson pillar, with it's statue to that Irish hero on the top. closely resembles the statue to the same naval hero in Traf- algar square, London, only lacking the surrounding guard of lions. This column is the pivot around which the life of Dublin revolves, just as Char ing Cross is the western pivotal point of the English capital. Lower Sack vile street runs south, to the O'Cennell bridge, and continues across that broad structure to the ample avenue on the opposite bank of the river, with the rounded facade and stately line of columns of the old parliament building on the right, and the solid, classic mass of Trinity college on the left.
 How close the resemblance to the London seene Whitehall and Parlia- ment street are readily recognized in the breadth, style and direction of Sackville street and College green, while the British house of parliament is represented by Trinity and the gov ernmental buildings of Downing street by the stately old Irish parliament house. Even London's statue of the duke of Cambridge, in the center of the road, to Westminster, finds it's counterpart in the midst of the road way at the northern end of the bridge which bears his name. The Liffey river asks but little exercise of the imagination to fancy it a shrunken but not less worthy Thames; the arcn- ing bridges remind one of their fel- lows that span the English stream;
