WEST POINT, N. Y, Feb. 21-The
Army was vanquished by the Navy at
basketball here this afternoon. The
final score was "a TO 1S. 1t was the
hrst contest on the basketball court
between the two government acade-

are9. was sleanly played throughout
expectations. The Navy quintet dis
played skill, speed and aggressiveness
particularly as the game wore on. Both
teams displayed evidences of nervous
ness at the outset, but the cadets went
from bad to worse and throughout the
final period their work was dsap-
pointing, wild and inaccurate tossing
and ragged passing and floor work
marring the play.
Navy led at half time, 12 to 10. Fine
work from the foul line by Waters
and Ault's accuracy in field goals from
scrimmage gave the visitors a safe
lead in the second period, which the
Army men never had chance to over
haul. Burkholder's sensational toss
from the middle Of the court near the
end of the first half tied the score at
10-all, and was the turning point Of
the game. Cross played we'll for the

William c. Gorgas.

William C. Gorgas. formerly surgeon
general of the Army, who died yester-
day in London, rendered the most val
liable service to humanity. Few men
in the worlds history have done so
much to conquer preventable disease
and to render safely habitable areas
infested with deadly ailments. 1t is
impossible to compute the contribution
Of this man to the welfare of mankind
In Cuba, following the Spanish
American war, Gen. Gorgas did a won
derful work, demonstrating that it was
possible to conquer the most pesti-
lential of diseases by the application
of scientific methods. That island was
rescued, largely through his endeavors,
from condition of almost hopeless
subsection to the most terrible of
scourges, and on the basis of this DEM
onstration similar works were carried
on elsewhere until some of the foulesi
spots in the. world were freed Of dis
ease.
But it was at Panama that Gen.
Gorgas made his heaviest contribution
to the worlds welfare. He rendered
possible the construction of the 18TH
mian canal by cleaning out the dis
ease breeding elements, by lessening
the risk of infection and by making
feasible the assemblage of large mum
bers Of workmen in sanitary surround
ings. Not less than to the engineering
skill of the men who directed the work
itself was this gigantic undertaking
due to the medical men, guided by
Gen. Gorgas, who solved what had been
the greatest and most difficult problem
that all the isthmian canal projectors
had previously encountered.
Honors were bestowed upon Gen.
Gorgas by this country, but in the lapse
of time since his great active work was
accomplished much has been forgotten.
1t is due now that he be appropriately
recognized, in death, as a man deserv-
ing of the highest encomiums of which
his fellow countrymen are capable of
expressing.

expressing

If report is correct the President
NAV soon appoint to be District Com
missioner the man whose nomination
for that same Office was few weeks
ago rejected by the Senate. Apart
from any other consideration, this des-
ignation will stand as "recess ap-
pointment," and under the statutes the
incumbent could not draw a salary un-
til eventually confirmed. Report also
has it that the. prospective appointee
is perfectly willing to take his chances
on the salary question and serve for
at least FIVE months without pay-pos-
sibly without any pay at all if the SEN
ate is consistent.
At the same time former Gov. Nc
Call of Massachusetts, after failure of
the Senate to act, has been reappointed
a member of the tariff comm ission in
recess. The same statute, denying sal
ary until confirmation, applies to his
ease, and he. it is now reported, is Sc
riously considering refusal of the ap-
pointment, which, in the circumstances,
would compel exclusive devotion to his
official duty without compensation.
AS sporting proposition the posi-
bly, prospective recess Commissioner
undeniably shows more nerve than the
former Governor of Massachusetts.

Rent Law Appeal Refused.

An effort to secure from the District
Court of Appeals writ of error to the
United States Supreme Court in the
matter of the Ball rent law was yes
terday blocked by the refusal Of that
court to permit the appeal. Thus un
less the Supreme Court grants a writ
of certiorari and permits the appeal
TO itself. the endeavor of those who
wish to see the law sustained will be
frustrated. Inasmuch as the funda-
mental question involved in this case
is one of constitutionality. it is to be
believed that the Supreme Court will
grant the writ. Else the appellate
court would stand as having definitely
and finally passed upon question that
ordinarily must go to the highest cour,
for settlement.
The present situation with respect to
this law and the agencies of its ap.
plication is highly unfortunate. Con

Public Addresses.

| The keynotes and the nominating
speeches delivered at the two national
conventions have been criticised on
the score of their length. Politicians,
| They would be more effective by tax
ing up the slack of their tongues.
| It may be of interest to refer to
the inaugural addresses of our Presi-
dents. General Washington's first
| address contained thirteen hundred
| words; his second only one hundred
and thirty four. John Adams required
twenty three hundred words, and
Thomas Jefferson, the first time,
twenty-one hundred. James Monroe
in his first address rose to thirty
three hundred words, and in his sec
ond to forty four hundred.
John Quincy Adams said his say in
twenty nine hundred words, and An
drew Jackson in eleven hundred odd
on each of his two occasions. James
Z. Polk used nearly five thousand
words. Abraham Lincoln, a master
| Of expression, put thirty-fve hundred
words into his first inaugural address,
and into his second-the most admired
of all inaugural addresses-only five
hundred and eighty eight words.
General Grant was brief, and Mr.
Cleveland also-the first time. Benja-
min Harrison's address contained forty
five hundred words.
| The longest address of all was that
of William Henry Harrison, which
contained eight thousand FIVE hundred
words. The author handed it as
! prepared to Daniel Webster to
"scratch." Mr.. Webster was to be the
Secretary of State. As the story goes,
he was appalled, by the length of the
document submitted, and pruned it
with spartan severity. But he could
! not reduce it to reasonable length.

of other business, cannot keep pace
with the cases that are now pressing
upon it. Furthermore, there is esna,
den and, complete overturning of the
statutory basis of landlord and tenant
relationship.
Tenants are uncertain as to them
rights and landlords are equally in the
dark as to their obligations. No new
legislation can be had for at least six
months, and even such new legislation
will be subject to the same process OF
court scrutiny and review as thaS
which has just thrown the Ball law
into complete innocuity. Meanwhile
there is urgent need Of additional con-
struetiens here, to accommodate the
people. The city has not regained nor
NAL conditions in the matter of hous-
ing In the uncertainty capital will
naturally be slow about investment in
rental properties that may be subject
ed to restrictions and individuals will
be hesitant about buying.
1t is an altogether deplerable situa-
tion, and the hope is that there will be
the least possible delay in the deter
mination of the issue as to the Ball
law, the validity and powers of the
rent commission and the necessity, if
one exists. of additional legislation.
Washington has suffered severely al
ready through the failure of an equit
able method of adjusting this difficult
relation of landlord and tenant and
will be more seriously hurt through
prolongation of the uncertainty.

Capt. Hobson.

Richmond Pearson Hobson appeared
at San Francisco and, appropriately
enough, as a dry. When in the House
he was active in the dry cause and
when he offered for the Senate it
was on dry platform.
His defeat for the Senate put an
end, temporarily at least, to Capt.
Hobson's political activities. Neither
at home nor elsewhere had he until
now figured since among politicians
in political matters. His plans for the
future are not announced
Capt. Hobson's resignation from
the Navy occasioned expressions of
regret when the step was taken, and
time has not changed the feeling. He
did not succeed in politics. He at
tanned prominence, but not influence
He was out of his element. He did
not fit into the new organization.
In the Navy he was most distinctly
in his element. He had distinguish ed
himself at Annapolis. He fulfilled
promise after graduating. His ex-
plot at Santiago gave him wide repu
tation, and very strong hold on the
admiration of his countrymen. The
place for him, therefore, was the
quarterback.
1t is anybody's speculation as te
what Capt. Hobson would have made
the opportunity of the world war yield
him had he remained in the naval
service. But it would probably have
| been something notable and sub
stantial. Men of his ability and
quality were in demand, and it is
reasonable that his advancement since
the Santiago days would have been
steady and his position in the service
at that time conspicuous.
Capt. Hobson is fifty years old
too young and probably too full OF
the joy of strife, to be thinking Of the
shelf.

A National Art Center.

Establishment of the National Gal
lezy as distinct unit Of the Smith
sonian Institution, by act of Congress,
marks an important advance toward
the development of the National Capt.
tai as the country's art center. This
change in status was not ordered
merely as a matter of administration,
but with the view of the better and
more rapid enlargement of the collec-
tion, and eventually its better and
more appropriate housing.
That separate building will be pro-
vided in season for this collection of
works of art, which began some four
teen years ago with the donation of
the Harriet Lane Johnston collection,
is to be accepted as assured. The Ma
tional Gallery has heretofore and is
now accommodated in space in the
new National Museum, convenient of
access and in some respects suitable,
but severely restricted in area, and, in
case of the growth of the collection,
certain to be outgrown speedily.
If assurance is given that separate
building will be provided by Congress
the collection is certain to grow. For
donations will undoubtedly be made to
supplement those already encompassed
within the collection. Throughout the
country are private collections of high
merit the owners of which would
probably be proud to contribute by
gift or permanent loan" to this ma
tional art gallery if assured that their
art works would be given digniied
placement
With the Corcoran Gallery securely
founded as one of the foremost of the
nations art institutions, with the Ma
tional Gallery well advanced toward
development, though without home
Of its own. and with the Freer Gallery
about to open the doors of its appro-
priately beautiful home, filled with
works of art of the highest order and
rarity, Washington is at this time one
of the notable centers of American art.
Other projects are in formulation for
additions to this rich store of art treas
ures at the capital. The coming decade
is certain to witness the definite estab-
lishment of this city as not only an
important American but a world center

Independence Day.

Washington will have tomorrow no
definite celebration of Independence
day. The occasion, for the first time
in considerable period, will, save for
certain neighborhood observanees, go
unmarked by the community. This is
not, however, to be understood as in
dicating waning of public interest in
the occasion, or lack of patriotic feel
ing. 1t is rather the result of a failure
years the energies of the citizens have
been severely taxed by demonstrations
of various kinds. and the quiet Inde-
pendence day of tomorrow will be
somewhat in the nature of a respite
from this exertion
Independence day lives in the hearts
of the people. rather than in specta-
cles 1t is recognized and observed in
spirit whether there are parades or
fireworks or pageants of any kind. 1t
requires no noisy demonstration to
keep it active as an influence for good
citizenship. And yet it is good for the
people to get together on that day and
commemorate il in some fashion, to
utilize it as a stimulus to their best
sentiment The hope is that another
year will find the capital thus marking
the day, in some appropriate manner,
particularly through cooperation and
Joint endeavor.

Building a Platform.

But know not what's resisted"
Let us apply this to platform build

need, sometimes in another. When a
mood of disapproval comes over US. we
are all censure. What botehl What
could the builders have been thinking

But we speak without knowledge of
what took place in the committee room
of the scores of propositions that were
rejected eutrighti of what was neces-

and trying sessions of the wranglings
that move everybedy's patience to a

touches to the deliverence were put on
by men all but exhausted mentally and
physically.
If we knew the whole story our
judgment would be lenient, and, there

story is never obtainable. The details
of the sessions are not for the public.
No record is kept, and the actors in
the drama are sworn to secrecy.
And vet, hard as this work is, and
certain of measure of censure even
when we'll performed, places on the
platform committee are in great re-
quest. Men labor and "leg" for the

when they have planks of their own
to propose. But even when promising
themselves nothing more than an op-
portunity to examine in the rough the
planks Of others, aspirants for seats at
this committees table pull every wire
within reach to accomplish their pur-
pose.

and, once its fascination is felt, free
