behind the waterways legislation of
the Sixty-third Congress. The two
rivers and harbors bills were chal-
lenged for good cause. They were
not we'll drawn. In the circumstances
they were much too large. The de-
bate on them revealed their defects,
and public sentiment justified the
heavy reductions Congress made. The
sums appropriated were large enough
to protect worthy projects in hand
from loss, and even to advance them
reasonably.
Still, the suggestion of the Oregon
senator is worthy of attention; and
friends of the waterways would do
we'll in preparing their appeals to the
Sixty-fourth Congress to review with
care the whole attitude and history
of the railroads respecting monopoly.
There is some reason for applying
the term pork barrel to the water
WAYS measures laid before Congress.
Too many of them have contained
pork" Too many have been made
vehicles for Strengthening" senators
and representatives at home. and thus
enabling them to retain their hold On
Office. In this way worthy and i'm
portant improvements have been dis
credited, and in some cases hlndered.

loved is to cut out the pork Re
move the reproach. Restrain the
men figuring in Congress on CAM

done; when the public is made to ap-
preciate the great value of the
waterways that really count in the
matter of transportation, not even
the railroads. powerful as they are,
will be able to prevail against them.

Railroads and Waterways.

Senator Chamberlain thinks the
railroads have renewed their fight
against the improvement of water
ways, and cites the record of the last
Congress in support of his opinion.
As a western man. he takes the west
ern view of the value Of waterways
in curbing railroad monopoly in
freight rates.
Undoubtedly. As Mr.. Chamberlain
asserts, the railroads delayed the
digging of an isthmian canal as long
as they could. The route was of no
consequence to them. They were
equally opposed to Nicaragua and to
Panama.
Likewise. according to wide belief,
they rejoice in, if they did not ac-
tually promote, the repeal of the free
passage provision of the canal law
relating to American coastwise ships
They accepted that as playing into
their hands.
1t is Snot so clear, however. that
the railroads were 2 leading force

A Household Gun Tragedy.

At Hyattsville yesterday occurred
another of those shocking tragedies
that are continually resulting from
the presence of deadly weapons i'll
households By some means shot
gun was exploded and a child Of
two was killed and another child of
six was dangerously wounded. 1t is
almost law of circumstance that a
loaded gun left in a house where
there are children leads ultimately to
tragedy. 1t is said that in this case
the gun was not loaded, but that the
shells were kept in an easily Access
sible place. Children are naturally
inquisitive, and often mischievously
so. and it is never safe to leave
weapons and ammunition within
their reach. So many fatalities of
this character have occurred around
Washington that it would seem as
though sufficient warning had been
given, but evidently little profit is
taken from them to check practice
that is inevitably attended with the
greatest danger.

Washington as an Objective.

The effort of President Moran of
The Chamber of Commerce to bring
the attractions of Washington to the
attention Of educators throughout
the country should yield practical re-
suits. By sending to them copies of
the recently issued booklet which
sets forth the attractions of the Ma
tional Capital he is doing an excel
lent work in widely spreading the
fact that here is natural center Of
American interest. that here much
can be learned by everybody regard
ing the operations of the govern
ment. concerning which every citizen
should be informed, and that further
more here is city of unusual physi-
cal and artistic attractions which are
capable of being appreciated by all
classes of people. Already Washing
ton is frequently visited by schools
OF their vacations, but these come
chiefly from the eastern cities, with
IN easy reach. 1t would be highly de-
>irable if this custom Of making
Washington an objective for vaca-
ton excursion were extended to a
greater radius and thus made more
distinctly a part of the national sys-
TEN of education. Possibly as a re.
suit of this wide diffusion of knowl.
edge regarding the attractions of the
city q movement to this end will be
begun.

Roosevelt and Penrose.

No politician in the country can be
otherwise than amused by Mr..
Roosevelt's deliverances against
bosses. In the language OF the draw
ing room, they are just too funny for
anything. 1t was Satan who intro
duced the droll fashion OF rebuking
sin in quarters where it seems a
familiar if not welcome guest.
Some of the deliverances, however,
are funnier than others. Take the
one relating to Mr.. Penrose. That,
in the lingo OF the theater, is a
scream"
According to Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr..
Penrose was recommended to him for
national campaign manager in 1904.
Mr.. Penrose says he was not an as
pirant for the place, and has heard
now for the first time of the recon-
mendation. But Mr.. Roosevelt de-
clares the recommendation was
made, and that he turned it down be-
cause Mr.. Penrose was boss of the
kind he disapproved. He would not
permit his campaign to be managed
by such a man.
But did that rule Mr.. Penrose out
of the game entirely that year?
Bless you, no! He took charge of
the campaign in Pennsylvania, where
he belonged and could hope to be of
service, and was of so much service
that he rolled up majority ap-
preaching half million for the re-
publican national ticket. Did this
anger Mr.. Roosevelt? Did he show
hesitation about accepting the fruits
of Mr.. Penrose's activity? Bless
you, no! He not only accepted them,
but in the heartiest terms thanked
Mr.. Penrose for what he had done.
He was dee-lighted with the Penn
sylvania returns.
Had Mr.. Penrose managed the ma
tional campaign, would his methods
have differed materially from those
he employed to carry his own state?
Probably not. He would simply have
studied the different states, as would
have been his duty, for pointers as
to how best to advance the fortunes
of his party. As boss he would
simply have spread out becoming a
national instead of a state quantity
that year. And would that have been
as acceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt as
was the Penrose achievement IN
PENNSYLVANIA? The question an
swers itself. In the language OF the
boys" it sure would.
Mr.. Roosevelt has known all, and
at one time or another worked with
all, the republican bosses, big or lit
tie, OF his day. He was always for
them while they were for him. He
has been served at one time or an
other by all. But, at last "the sad
hour of parting" came for many OF
them; and since then Mr.. Roosevelt
has gone over the list, and is ad-
ministering excoriation now where
once he administered only honey

chances of detecting car thief are
slight in view of the great facility
which the car itself offers for es-
cape. 1t behooves ali car owners to
adopt the best available method of Sc
curing their cars and never to neglect
any precaution that will put an OBJ
stacle in the way OF possible thief.
And, furthermore, it behooves the
police to keep thoroughly alert to
overtake the car stealers. A way,
perhaps, OF catching these people
would be for the bicycle policemen
occasionally to stop all cars and de-
mand to see the license certificates
carried by the operators, comparing
the numbers borne on them with the
numbers of the cars. This would
serve the additional purpose of as
certaining whether there are any peo-
pie now operating cars in Washing
ton who are not licensed to do SO.

Naval Efficiency.

Secretary Daniels letter to Presl-
dent Garfield of Williams College,
setting forth the present condition OF
the navy, makes most gratifying
showing of development. While 1t
does not follow that all has been
done that should have been done to
make the American navy equal to its
responsibility as the chief national
defense against possible foreign at
tack. the Secretary's statement IS
most encouraging as far as it goes.
The number of ships is larger than
ever. their power IS greater. their
efficiency is higher. The personnel
is complete. and is OF excellent char
acter and in1bued with a patriotic
spirit. A larger stock of munitions
j on hand. Progression along the
lines that have been laid down re-
Gently IS certain to improve the rela-
I'VE standing OF the United States
among the naval powers.
II should be possible to make cor
responding showing for the army.
There is no American desire for a
standing army. but the people OF this
country do want and expect land
force sufficient to be effective upon
emergency, comprised of a reserve
that at the critical juncture can be
called upon to reinforce the regular
army. The English have developed
such a system and it is vitality i'm
portant TO adopt it here to make our
land force equal to the task imposed
upon il in the event of invasion.
Neglect of this essential precau-
ton against disaster has rendered
our army inadequate. The neglect
has not been so marked in the navy,
however, as Secretary Daniels let
ter shows. In the navy the stand
ards set have been maintained,
whereas in the army, through lack
of effective legislation, there has
been a falling of. leaving the coun-
try in poor plight as to land de-
Tense. The same spirit of advance
rnent and development that has
brought about the gratifying condi-
ton in the navy which Secretary
Daniels now discloses should quickly
manifest itself as to the army, thus
bringing both branches of the ma
tional defense organization up to the
point of our requirements.

The Outs.

It is difficult to be politician,
And labor for your country night
and day.
There are times a man would rather
go a-hshin'
And let the precious moments DRIFT
away.
But a statesman has to stay in ac-
tive service,
And seek to elevate the human
race;
With reminders of this fact to make
him nervous
There are hundreds who are wait
ing for his place.
No matter if he's eloquent or witty;
No matter if his industry's i'm
mense;
No matter if he can reform city
Or check the course of folly and
pretense;
No matter if he's wise and brave and
moral,
The worlds ingratitude invites a
sob;
He is sure to find temptations to a
quarrel
With the hundreds who are wait
ing for his Job.

He said that along the track around snow river the water was so high that it formed a swamp over the whole territory. The rabbits in order to keep from drowning came up on the track, and as the car passed along 400 or 500 rabbits ran ahead for quite dis tauce. The car overlook many and killed them. He thinks that the high water out there will kill off nearly all the rabbits.
