quired medical attendance. We
thought that rehabilitation was just
as important as compensation: that
IL he had been injured ne needed
medical care. The statute had said
before that he could have medical
care for sixty days. and that was all.
but we said he should have it. not
with ary limit at all. The limit
should be the need Of medical care"
And as to why all this was done
and how it was received by labor it
self, again let Governor MILLER's
words prove. I'VE did revise the
labor laws, a complete revision Of
them in order to improve their en-
forcement, and the representatives of
labor appeared before me, asked me
to sign that revision and said that it
had been made with a sympathetic
hand toward labor. We did make
changes in the workman's compen-
sation law, and again the representa-
tives of labor appeared before me
and in asking for my signature to
the bill said that this statute was the
most progressive and enlightened of
its kind on the statute books Of any
State in the Union"
In these circumstances it is not
merely unfair politics, it is vicious
politics to charge Governor MILLER
with a willingness to weaken the
workman's compensation law when
the very thing he was aiming to
do and did do was to put teeth into
the workman's compensation law in
the interest of the wage earners.

The Cannon Ball Laggard.

Brigadier-G General WILLIAM MITcH-
ELL. Assistant Chief of the Army Air
Service, who recently attained speed
Of 2243S miles an hour in the inter-
national air races at Mount Clemens,
Michigan, predicts that his record
will soon be eclipsed by a speed of
$50 miles an hour, and that within
few years airplanes will fly 800 miles
an hour.
1t may be that the speed of $50
miles an hour was reached by Lieu
tenant r. M. MAUGHAN in the pre-
liminary tests, for he is unoflicially
credited with having flown 24S.5 miles
in an hour. AS that flight was not
officially timed, General MITCHELL S
record stands for the present.
Artificial flight still lacks the per-
lection and certainty of movement
with which birds go through the air,
but the airplane early surpassed the
swiftest bird in speed Of flight
WILLIAM BEEBE, the ornithologist, re-
cords the flight of swallow from
Compiegne to Antwerp, distance Of
14S miles, in one hour and eight min
utes, or about 100 miles an hour.
That is faster than any railroad train
has ever travelled, but airplanes have
Travelled faster for several years.
It is not likely that such speeds as
General MITCHELL predicts will count
for anything in commercial or pleas
ure flying. At 225 miles an hour, by
General MITCuELL's description, fly
ing ceases to be pleasure, and when
the airways become populous any
man who struck a pace of 900 miles
an hour would probably be taking no
less chance than man who would
drive through New York to-day at
100 miles an hour.
The value of this enormous speed,
as General MITCHELL points out, will
be great in aerial warfare. 1t is near
ly twice as fast as the cannon balls of
the civil war travelled through the
air. And the army with the fastest
planes will have what may be a de-
Gliding superiority when the next war
comes.

Baseball College.

The National College of Baseball
about to be established in a suburb
OF Los Angeles is a necessity in this
era of specialization. The public de-
mands snappy but thoughtful base
ball and few teams can afford their
own instructors. The college will
take the busher of promise and make
him ready for the big leagues in'three
months. If he is pitcher Professor
Death Valley JIM SCOTT win round
his curves. If he is an infielder DR..
FRANK LEROY CHANCE will teach him
to think, for DR.. CHANCE was the fin
ishing point of that great strategic
triangle in which the Messrs. TINKER
and EvERs performed so well.
The college should take load from
the shoulders of busy managers like
Mr.. McGRAw and Mr.. HUGGINs., Shut
fin PHIL might have been saved for
the Giants If he had taken a special
course in ethics under Professor SAM
CRAWFORD. "A month Of DR.. CHANCES
tutelage might cure Babe RUTH of
self-consciousness. The college will
be the Mecca in winter of every ambi-
tious rookie, every bonehead who
does not despair Of his dome. The
faculty should be paid three times as
well as ordinary college stats, for
baseball is so much more important
than other professions.
Eventually the college will be a
university, with nineteen buildings
and CORNELIUS McGILLICUDDY as dean.
The arms will be a bat rampant on
a field of dollars, argent; the motto,
Attaboy!

clew to solving the Harvey controversy
about the decalogue. 1t appears that
the English Bibles are a translation OF
the Greek. which In turn came from the
original Hebrew. The ancient Greeks
had a word. "gamos," which means
either wife or husband. English trans
lators, lacking a more dignified similar
word than Spouse" chose perhaps to
preserve dignity at the sacrifice Of ac-
curacy and used wife" in their trans.

If the original Tenth Commandment
Inhibited the coveting. of ''gamos," re-
gardless of sex, then the commandments
as a whole could very well have beer
addressed to- men and women alike, not
just to men, as Ambassador Harvey
ventured. In this event there would be
no need of mentioning wife" along with
daughter in the Fourth Commandment
which makes no mention Of either "hus-
band" or wife because 1t is addressed
to both.

Canada's Dollar Above Ours.

AS measured on it's home soil, the
Canadian dollar is taller now by
fraction OF cents width than the
dollar of UNCLE SAM. A Toronto
street car conductor has refused an
American dollar on the ground that
it was not worth it's face value in
Canada and that he must protect his
employers interests. 1t is true that
the sequel of the story is that the
owner of the snubbed Yankee dollar
complained to the railroad manage
ment and that the conductor was
reprimanded.
But the fact remains. Our dollar
is below par in Canada. That our
northern neighbor should be proud
OF this is natural. 1t is only short
time since Canadian currency was
at discount of 16 or II per cent. in
United States money.
The change registers a story Of
prosperity and sound business con-
ditions of which any country would
have a right to be proud. Several
things have combined to bring about
this happy state of affairs.
In the first place Canada has
turned an adverse balance on inter-
national trade into favorable bal
ance, and, of course, the very foun-
dation stone of foreign exchange is
imbedded in foreign trade balances.
Again, Canadian Government and
industrial loans have met very hos
pitable receptions in American money
markets, with the resultant flow Of
large sums across the border.
Large amounts of money have been
spent in Canada by bootlegging out
laws. A substantial boost to Cana
dian prosperity came from these two
sources.
American motor car tourists have
contributed to it Importantly. In the
last twelve months 100000 American
motor cars crossed the border into
Canada. On the basis of an assumed
seven day trip and the expenditure
of S25 a day for each car it is COM
puted by Canadian statisticians that
the total of American money thus
left with our neighbor reached up
ward of s10O,OO0,0OO. This is not a
staggering amount, to be sure. in
these billion dollar days, but it is a
tidy sum.
Canada may we'll be exultant over
the recovery OF her currency -

picture theaters should be the first to
withdraw. They did not at any time
select the least expensive amusement
because they preferred it. They en-
joyed the diversion that was adapted
to their means. The men and women
who were the first to retrench in a
time of unemployment were those
with the least capital. Patrons of
the motion picture theatres had to
economize because they felt the pinch
of hard times.
1t was for that reason, and not be-
cause of change in their taste or
in the quality of the pictures the
exhibitors offered, that the motion
pictures during a year of decline suf-
fered more than any other form Of
amusement.

II is to be hoped in the cause of
common sense and hygiene that the
1900 delegates and alternates of the
Federation of Women's Clubs will
next Friday vote affirmatively on the
resolution accepted by its cooperative
committee not to approve any style
which brings women's skirts nearer
to the ground than seven inches.
The bad repute of the trailing skirt
is so well established that il seems
incredible its restoration to favor
should be a possibility of the new
modes. Styles are sometimes baf-
fling. Summer furs may not be easy
TO understand. Low neck waists in
zero weather and slippers as perma-
nent footgear may require some ex-
PLANTATION. Yet they have none of the
bad effects on health of the threatened
street sweeping skirts.
1t may be true, moreover, that for
every change in fashion there is a
reason deeply rooted in expediency or
commerce. Tightly fitting necks dis

A Glorious Welcome.

II Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE should visit
America this fall and winter, as is
said to be possible, he would receive
a most thrilling welcome from all
America.
1t is perhaps not too much to say
that there is no other man living who
has the wide popular appeal of LLOYD
GEORGE. But beyond his vigorous
and compelling personality. beyond
his sparkling and resourceful genius,
is the fact that it was he who as
Prime Minister of Great Britain car
ried that nation through the great
war, carried it on to peace.
What THEODORE ROOSEVELT was to
America and to the world LLOYD
GEORGE is to Great Britain and to the
world. In mentality. in directness
of method, in his closeness to the
people, in his sympathy with the
people, in his courage and extraor-
dinary resourcefulness LLOYD GEORGE
is more like THEODORE ROOSEVELT
than any man of our time.
On his own account. because Of
what he is and the tremendous part
he has played in the world, as well
as because he is the Roosevelt Of
England, America, from one end to
the other, all classes and conditions
of men, would give him greeting,
a welcome that would thrill him to
the depths of his soul.

Navy Day Claptrap.

There are few Americans that do
not feel pride, and a big, lasting
pride, in the American. navy. This
the navy has earned, and American
sentiment has right to expect the
navy will continue to earn it.
But 1t is doubtful whether many
Americans think there is any need
of or any use for Navy Day. And
it is certainty that neither the fame
nor the prowess of the navy will be
altered for better or for worse
whether there is or whether there is
not Navy Day.
This country has been surfeited
with days" as it has been gorged
with drives" The public needs to
attend to its real business of work
and achievement vastly more than
legitimate causes and sound institu-
tions need the public to engage in
continuous propaganda performances,
to-day for one thing, tomorrow for
some other and next day for still
another.
Governor BAXTER OF Maine ap-
praises the proposal with exemplary
Down East balance and sense when
he says he cannot approve the sug-
gested Navy Day celebration in his
State because this is no time for
naval exnansion and because there is
no occasion for trying to work up any
artificial sentiment on the subject
among the American people. The
American people can agree with the
hardheaded Governor Of Maine for
the very reason that they believe the
navy, with its honorable record and
fine promise. deserves to get its due
every day and has nothing to gain
from promotion methods that smack
of torchlight parades.

Thoughts of a Modern Artist.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The
graphed for the catalogue Of a current
exhibition Is this:
An original unsold painting should not

artist well and good: he got his reward
and does not care who has 1t.
Another reason: a delicate work of

you are disappointed because it looks
crude, sketchy and devoid of art quality.

captains had record OF fast passages

Moody was a much larger and faster

The Moody bound for New York,

Both ships laid their course across the

Queensland Miners Hurt by Paris
Fashions In Jewelry.

To THE New YORK HERALD: 1t may
seem incredible to the American ladies
that cotton cultivation and gem min
ing here In Queensland should 60 to-
gether. and yet In our Australian press
we read short note thus ."The Ana
kie gem miners can now cultivate cotton
on their sapphire producing grounds"
II appears as reason for this that now
adays overseas the ARTIFICIAL. false, faxed
and cheap gems In the 1ewelry trade
suppiant our beautiful, classical, genuine
Queensland precious STONES.
According to the latest news to hand
from he French gem cutters of the
Jura district the German lapidaries in
ldar are now using the same pre-war
tricks in Paris to get rid OF their semi
precious Brazilian gems, sold In Brazil
by the kilogram, such as topazes, tour
maiines. aquamarines. pale amethysts
and pink purpled topazes, called by the
false name Brazilian rubies. The Pa
risian jewelry manufacturers. influenced
by the extremely low prices Of these cut
gems, have started new Partisan or
worlds gem fashion, in adding to the
colors OF the semi-precious Brazilian
gems the German brown agates stained
black and sold under the false name Of
onyx.
The real onyx Of Arabia is a scarce
black and white banded gem. Further
are added to these the white jades,
stained red because the real jades are
green. pale lilac and white. Through the
craze overseas in this new Partisan gem
fashion our pretty Anakie sapphires of
various hues and other fine Queensland
gems are shelved.. Seeing this situa-
ton overseas our Queensland gem min
ers ask whether we shall go in for cot
ton cultivation or stick to our gem min
