Reaching the little children leaches
the homo life and with that comes the
uplifted desires and ambitions' that
must surely react for good upon society
In general. Tho board of control, now

greater service to tho community than
to give substantial nld tovvnul estab
lishing numcimis tree klnderi; irtons In
every poor section of the titv. A
handful of people have nobly uiftalned
this great evangelizing and educational
work for six years. It is high tlmo

generous contributions but alo the
support of the organl7ed school sybtcm.
A Lesson from tho Prizo llinp;.
After all, civilization veneers but does
not modify tho elemental passions
Just as all mankind evince an Instinc
tive Intel est in a scandal so theie Is a
chord in the common natuie which
responds to tho kejnote of cambative
ness as sounded by any contest of
brawn or skill, whether put forth on
the ball field, tho battle field. In the
court room or in tho prize ring. We
might wish that it were otherwise: we
may lament that the brute In man does
not more submissively acquiesce in the
restraints of reason and conscience; but
tho fact will lemaln unaffected that
enough of old Adam undeilies the best
of us to make a sad moss at times ot
civilization and morals.
Today nt the Hague the wise men of
the nations aro in convention for tlm
purpose of devitalizing war; but theii
work excites not a thousandth twit of
the interest created by the meeting of
two bruisers in a ring, who battle for
pilmaey in the despised but still popu
lar and peiennlal piofesslon of pugil
ism. People do not sit up nights and
pay special telcRinphic tolls to hear,
detail by detail, what the diplomats at
the peace congress nre doing, but they
count no cost In thelrnnxlety to lecelvo
the latest bulletins from Coney Uland
Disarmament and atbltration pass
among tho masses as empty woids, but
there is n grim substantiality of Interest
attaching to tho nrgument of ritzslm
mons with Jeff lies, which grips hold of
all classes and conditions of men, the
learned as well as tho unlearned,
churchmen and philosophers as well as
knaves, lagamulllns and fools. Let us
bo honest enough with ourselves and
with each other at least to acknowledge
the fact.
The prize ring is revolting and it has
been wisely banned; but the features
of it which make It most objectionable
are not tho features most frequently
offered in nrgument against It. It has
been made odious by the fakes and
frauds which have fastened themselves
as barnacles upon It; it has been robbed
of respectability by Its perversion Into
a flnanclul trap to Inveigle the unwary.
Its associations are vicious and Its net
results harmful; but the same may be
paid of almost anything degraded Into
a tool of knavery nnd deception. The
morality of a clean, honest contest in
the open whore the best fighter vIns
Is far superior to tho morality of tho
sanctimonious hypocrite in the so
called respectable circle who "docs" his
friend In business or domestic relations
by treachery and guile; nnd if society
would take a lesson from the prize ling
to discriminate In other walks of lift
between the stand-up, manly antagon
ists who fight fairly nccoullng to tho
rules of the game, taking their medi
cine without wincing, and the curs nnd
sneaks who strike below tho belt or
otherwise employ tactics foul It would
not be an unmixed evil.
The formation of tho three million
dollar pastry trust need cause no ap
prehension on part of tho small or large
boy who dotes on pie. The new syndi
cate will piobably deal exclusively In
the cottolene nnd highly glazed article
of tho bake shop. Tho home-made
preparation of snnnv hue that leaves
the lingering flavor of hog fat upon the
lips and a buidensome feeling In one's
bosom can never be comert d by a soul
less octopus.
Naval Lessons.
Admiral Sampson's idea that our'
navy needs a laiger pioporilon of fast
crulheis of large coal-carrying capacity
than of any other type ships which
ran got to an enemy tho hoonest and
nttack nnd destroy befoio the enemy
can bring his heavy armament into
play Is certainly a Ui- tillable deduc
tion from the experiences of our late
war, as any lnnd3mnn can hoc. True,
tho Oregon, a heavy llnc-of-baltle vvar
hhlp, cairled off tho Individual honors
of that war; but &ho did this rather in
her rapacity as a cruiser thnn as a
floating fort. Her big guns and her
thick armor added nothing to her as
sci ted elllctcncy, however much they
might have helped in a pinch. Had alio
been constiuctod on tho Brnolrivn pat
tern, with copper-shaathed bottoms
nnd a largo complement of rapid fire
batteries, her clMcicncy would havo
been perceptibly groater under tho con
ditions of tho Santlaso navnl cam
paign. It was her speed and her
secondary batteries which did tno
bu3lr.oia; not ono of her thltteen-lmh
shells struck a fJpanlsli bhl'i nor did
one Spanish shell strike her heavy ar
mor. Again, as tho admiral points out, tho
war with Spain has changed thu whole
character of our navnl needs. Instead
of having to plan, na formerly, simply
ti defensive navy of heavy coast and
harbor defense ships, wo havo now to
protect outlying possessions, nomo of
which carry us far out to s(a, Into the
iruliua of foreign naval activities. Wo
must not only equip oui selves with
harbor and coaling station facilities at
remote dlstam.cn from our mainland,
so as to bo nble to hold our own with
possible f ompetltors lung since provided
with tiipso strategic advantages, but
wo must also possi ss ri licet of ships of
war giving us tho power to determine
w here the theater of combat shall be.
It Is economy ns well as satisfaction in
war to hit first. The best defensive
campaign Is the one which puts the
opponent on the defensive by tying up
his strength before It can Inflict dam
ngi'. To arcompllsh this In a naval
sense obviously necessitates a large
fleia of powerful crulseis with superior
speed nnd guns that slmplv smother an
enemy's fire. Whnt Dewey did at Ma
nila we must bo In shape to repeat nt
any one ot a hundred possible centers
of opposition.
These lessons are npparcnt. It re
quites no technical skill to perceive
the in. I'lii-y ovpi spread the surface of
lecent events with tho vividness ot a
searchlight at midnight. What, there
foie. can be tho meaning of tho action
of the navy department In sacrlilelng
speed In the plans of the six new small
outsets authorized by tho last con
giosa? We learn from that Philadel
phia Press that not In ten years has a
single foreign navy designed n second
class cruiser under eighteen knots and
some have boon nineteen knots plus
Our vpsrpIs are to be but sixteen nnd
one-half knots. They will bo 'ciulsers
two knots slower than tho Japanese
Nanlmo, now fifteen voais old. and six
knots slower than tho Knsagl, launched
a year ago on the Delaware They will
be tlnep and one-fourth knots slower
than the English Intiepld class,
launched ten jears before, and, of their
size, three and one-hnlf knots slower
than the Diana, "C00 tons, which they
would be expected to light, and nearly
three knots slower thnn the Airogant
nnd thru- and one-half Knots slower
that the new Hermes and her two con
sorts, just commissioned Well may
our coiltempoiary nsk, 'The American
Is faster In ever.v thing ele; why should
h bo slower In his warships' Why go
back to the speed of fifteen years ago?
Why abandon nil tactical advantages,
and In .1 cruiser, too 7"
It is a matter of regiet that the con
stiuctlon of tho proposed government
building for Wilkes-Baire has been
postponed owing to the sudden boom
In i e.il estate In that city. When the
government officials began to look
about for a suitable site for the build
ing, malarious mai alios and mid goat
pastures became more valuable than
ground-floor Klondike claims. After a
few interviews with property owners,
the officials concluded that nfter ground
had been secured there would be
enough of the appropriation left per
haps to treet a shelter tent on the plot.
They l.nve theiefoie concluded to wait
until money enough can be appropriat
ed to build something more substantial.
General Henderson and His Critics.
Complaint has been uttered against
General Henderson's probable election
as speaker on the giound that he was
opposed to the war with Spain and
at variance with the administration's
policy lespeetlng the Philippines. The
fact of lecord do not sustain this com
print. When, on Match S, lS9s, he
voted on the motion to appropriate
$."0,00n,000 for the natlonnl defense,
General Hendeisnn predicted that
there would be no war and added: "In
this republic our great aim should be
for peace. The truct patriot Is he
who secuies and keeps peace for his
people. It Is easy to be an animal.
It Is easy to use claws and teeth, and
to light. He who can hold aloft In
his country the white flag of peace,
not of cowardice. Uses nearer to his
God." But events undid this pio
phecy and on April 2S General Hender
son said:
"Some weeks ngo, when we were dis
cussing the proposition of wnr, I pro
dieted with emphasis that theie would
be no wnr. 1 find that I was a veiy
poor prophet, and that my own con
victions and hopes were largely the
parent of the expression of that hour.
No ono In this body has regretted moie
than I the condition In which the coun
try now llnds Itself. I have a run
tempt for mjself when I llnd the ani
mal In mo dominating my actions. We
aro animals as well as men, and while
living among animals I suppose at
times we most usort to the habits of
biutes. I speak, perhap-, severely, be
cause I feel keenly on this subject. I
despise war. and my hope Is th.it the
time will come, though not In my day,
when Intellect nnd conscience shall
bo the aihltratoi.s of differences be
tween nations and men. But It is
not so now. The locks upon our doois
und gates tell us that the time has
not ot come, but gentlemen, It should
bo tho nlm of mankind to learh that
time. But when our peace-loving
ehlpf executive finds justification for
unfurling the Hag of battle, I jleld my
convictions, and say nnun, and the
time for action, for battle, has conu.
In this tiouble, In which we nre, let
theie not be one coppuihead In the ie
public. Now that tho 'dogs of war'
an let slip, I shall bring my brnln.
and heait, and enetgy, to tho suppoit
of the flag of my count! y." These
words require no apology.
When the question ot army reorgan
ization nroso last Januaiy General
Henderson opposed Increasing tho l oc
ular force to 100 000 men, holding that
such lucieuse was unnecessary; but
his position was ono to which no hon
est man could object. Snld ho: "I
havo faith in thu president, I would
havo faith in any picsldent, Bepubll
can or Democrat, on thut question, sur
rounded by tho people that govern in
this countiy. But It you ralso tho
standard it is haul to lower It. Plant
un army of 100,000 regulars In this
country, and It will bo no easy task
to l educe It. I would rather move
slowly, cnutlously, und safely j It Is
easier to lncrenso than It Is to cut
down, nnd, onco established, there
will be many Interested In keeping up
a great Btnndlng nrmy." It will bo
loniembcrcd that before tho session
ended congrefs and president both
cumo around to General Henderson's
way of thinking.
On tho subject of tho Philippines,
CJcnernl Ilcndiison was equally con
servative, but not hostile cither to t'io
president or to his party. Speaklii?
In the house prior to the ratification
of tho treaty ot pence, ho said: "The
resident, from start to finish, has
wisely, calm'y, patriotically, bravely
can led tho Mighty problems of the
country In his groat heart and gi eater
brnlti not fr.V u political parly, hut for
his country and hlfi countrymen. When
at war with Spain It was tho duty of
tho commander-in-chief to attack tho
enemy vvheie ho could hit nnd hurt.
He struck him In thp Philippines, nnd
the eclio of the blow will ring through
coming nges. That blow found the
Filipinos struggling uselessly nnd vain
ly with Spain, which had held sover
eignty there for ccntuiles. This toun
try striking that blow nnd taking tho
groat city and the great bay had it
n"t at once thereby responsibilities nnd
duties? Until that treaty is ratified
the president must hold by aims what
we have tnkon until tho sovoielgnity of
Spain is legally lemovod- Whnt may
bo In the brain of the president If the
treaty is rntllled, I know not. For one,
It is enough for me to know what my
duty Is. I Interrogate myself, and I
say that while I tan not tell yet what
my duty may be (for I don't know what
the rpal conditions aio there or whnt
those people want or need), I frankly
say to this house and to my country
that 1 have tho gravest elmbts of the
v Isd im of this country taking the Phil
ippine Islands to govern them as Unit
ed States territory. I have grave
doubts of that question. BHmlnnUng
every moral question, nnd looking at
It from the standpoint of a member
of this American family, who mtist
weigh the expenses and the lesponsl
bllitles that ho Is about tusuino If
our ask me would I foro a govern
ment upon the I llplnos aga.nst their
will, I answer, no! That Is my Judg
ment. But w hen the time comes to
settle that question (It Is not here now
I must know what my duty to my
country Is, and I can not tell that with
out knowing the condition of the Fili
pinos and whnt they need nnd what
they want."
We have in the so words the sum of
the next speaker's alleged offending.
Is criticism Just? Is the spirit of cau
tion and calm deliberation, the spirit
of icservo until In possession of nil thp
facts, ono unbecoming In a man In the
shadow of the great office of speaker
of congress the oIIIcp that In power
and responsibility is hardly second to
the pipsldenev Itself? General Hen
derson has not been huirled by sur
face waves of sentiment, but ho has
moved with the btoad curient of sober
public opinion. He will check capiico
and emotionalism, but ho will not oli
sliuct the real will of the people.
An Interesting innovation In police
woik has been Instituted In northern
Indiana, wheie twenty-six cities and
towns have leagued together for the
puiposc of cn-operatlng In the detec
tion of criminals nnd In the suppiesslon
of ciime. The majors und chiefs of
pollco of these municipalities have
ngreed to woik together under uniform
rules, and to interchange views and
opinions, so that fugitives from justice
may bo tho mine expeditiously appre
hended, without recouise to special of
fers of reward. Eventually the con
federation will bo extended over the
entire state. The Idea seems feasible
and its introduction elseuhete Is
recommended.
Mark flanna Replies
fo a Clerical Critic
Prom the Troy Times
N1TBD States Senator Hnnna was
among tho speakers at the
Chamber of Commoice banquet
' in Cleveland recently, and in the
course of his remarks he said some
good words for good government and
good polities. Just before, Bnbbi Grels,
a prominent cleigymnn of the city and
a worker In the good cltlzonshlp move
ment, had intulo nn addiess In which
ho lather severely scored political lend
ers, holding them accountable for many
abuses, nnd urging citizens geneially to
take a more, active part In politics.
Senator Hnnna said he agreed with
Bnbbi Greis as to tho duty of Ameii
enns to give more attention to their
lesponslbllities ns citizens, and he ndd
cd: "If municipal, state and national
affairs are not as we would have them,
it Is our own fault. If a man tnkes a
piomlnent part In public nffnlrs, whose
fault is If The fault of the men who
won't stand shoulder to shoulder with
him and help him do that woik. If a
man has the ambition to do light and
do good b his fellow nin, and is will
ing to neglect his business and devote
his tlmo to those Inteiests, is it right,
because he is willing; to lead and nonp
will follow, Hint that Isolation shall
brand him a boss? All men nre moie
ui less reltlsb. I confess to Inheriting
my share' of It fiom Mother Hve. But
I claim that a man who has the nerve
and the couinge to run the risk of be
ing called a politician, who will step
out and devoto the time nnd energy
and what capabilities he Is endowed
with to benefiting his fellow men In
city, state or nation, Is entitled to tho
bupport ot his kind "
There Is plain common spiiso In this
noit of talk, and It should havo a good
effect on those to whom It Is addressed.
It Is a part of good citizenship to woik
and vote for good government. Thero
would be little bnd government It good
citizens united to prevent It. In a
country llko this, where nil citizens aro
equal befoio the law nnd nt the ballot
box, the peoplo have in their own hands
a remedy for every serious political
evil. It uppiIh only union in spirit and
harmony In netlon by tho best citizen
ship to pi event grave winng by officials
who nre tho servants of tho people.
Thoro must bo leadership and organiz
ation In politics as In everything t-lse to
nssum success. The most trivial of
undertakings cannot bo carried through
without some preliminary planning and
offort. rattles aro no exception to the
rule. Political principles may be sound
and acceptable, nppealing to tho best
Judgment of tho people. But they will
not go Into effect of themselves. There
must bo behind them the motive power
of pnrty with Its lendeishlp nnd hard
lnbor. The men who devote themselves
to ptomotlng tho cuuso of their party,
If Ita principles arc worthy and they
aro acting upon conviction nnd arc
thoroughly slnceie, are doing n pa
tilotlo und eonimendnblo work.
o
There must bo leadership ns well as a
rank and file, nnd the leadership will
as a tule be what tho rank and file de
Hire, for In a icpubllc ltko this the ma
jority rules, and tho party organiza
tion is whnt tho party ns n whole
creates. To decry pnrty organization
nnd leadership, therefore, Is to asperse
tho American pilnclplo ot government.
Tho bettor way Is to do one's duty In
the party of one's choice, helping to se
em o wise and honest lendeishlp and
concentrating effott In behalf of sound
principles. Tho man who btands aloof
and criticises and growls und grumbles
instead of turning In nnd doing his
share of the work docs not prove him
self tho best friend ot good government.
