¥ £ X AN ISSUE THAT WONT DIE. The issue which the late representa- (tive at large, George E. Lilley, as member of the naval committee of congress, championed with the en- dorsement of the late Senator Platt. will not die because it is a politic waste of money which consclentious officials cannot approve. Secretary Meyer, in his Teport upon the condition of the navy, says: “There is no reason for changing the views expressed in my last annual re- port as to the abolition of certain of + | the amaller and less necessary yards, but further consideration leads me to believe that more radical reductiens in navy yards must be made if proper economy in naval expenditures is to be attained.” As the Bridgeport Stardard notes, Congressman Lilley’s agitation of this subject aroused the wrath of a lot of men who were living off the coLtracts of the navy department and who feared the revelations that this fear- less, capable and straightforward bus- iness man might make. They deter- mined to put him down and they so worked upon him, when broken in health and enfeebied by disease, that they finally accomplished his physical wrecking.” The Bulletin concurs with The Standard in the following affirmation: “We shall never cease to rejoice that his death did mot occur before the | voters of his state had expressed their faith in him and the course which he pursued, by a majority of over six- teen thousand, There is much com- fort in that fact AN EXCITING RUMOR. No one in Boston or elsewhere had thought that the Anclent and Honor- able Artillery company of that town needed a mew uniform. No one in New England has once thought that any attempt to make an ancient company appear more modern would be an improvement. It doubt- less would stir Connecticut if the Put- nam Phalanx should announce that they were going to tog up a little. It is when the bloom is on the plum that it looks most attractive. This is what the Boston Post has to say of the Teport that the Anclents and Honorables are contemplating having a new uniform: “Dame Rumor sallies forth from the grim arsenal in the top of Faneuil hall and reports that the men of the An- cient and Honorable Artillery com- pany are likely to have a new uniform consisting of a shaker hat, tarbucket bell style, seven inches high, with a plume on top, a dark blue cutaway coat, with vest and trousers of pearl gray, with a red double stripe down the sides of the trousers. “Paint the Nly? Gild the Tose? Are not our Acients beautiful enough al- ready In the gloriovs miscellany of their garb, without attempting to trick them out in the dress of the Mexican war? Perhaps as a fatigue uniform it might do, but never for active service on the Common or in the banquet hall.” and Goufief.

Perhaps Edison’s idea of sending presidential addresses to all parts of the country, instead of the president’s giving his personal attention to the people and traveling 16,000 miles and being bangueted to death will finally obtain. Making one speech from which 10,000 vocal copies can be made and distributed is very much easier than 215 speeches made along the line of six weeks' travel. The possibilities of the phonograph have not been half tried out yet, but next year the campaign phonograph, with speeches and music, may be an attraction not only in the cities but in the most remote country towns, where the real voice will present the arguments if the real man cannet be present.

SHORT PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGES It remains to be demonstrated whether President Taft's new way of treating public issues is really an im- provement upon the old way. The press of the country expressed considerable pleasure at the prospect of a short message; but since it is now known that it is the president’s intent to make seven special messages do the work of the regular December utter- ance from the White house, it cannot be said Taft is bolling down publc matters for the better comprehension of the people, for taking the questions and discussing them singly in the or- der of their importance isn't brevity or anything approaching it. Whether it will be a more effective way of presenting public issues to the people will have to be judged by its effect upon congress and the public mind. It is certainly a novel and interest- ing experiment—a new departure— and as such it is likely to attract un- usual attention. Perhaps the new =pectal mes: treatment of political issues is destl; to beat the old for- mal, prosy style of the long ago out of the arena. Los Angeles is the City of the An- gels; no wonder the McNamaras had to confess. In some quarters it is believed con- has actually opened the cam- paign of 1912. Italy goes on eating Turkey as if she never was likely to have but one cause for Thanksgiving. About 40,000 bills are presented in congress every session. Who says con- gressmen have a soft snap! The republican national committee will meet at Washington to select a convention city next Tuesday. Samuel Gompers spoke an unperish- able truth when he sald organized la- bor had been sadly imposed upon. It would be strange if congress should try to do anything serious be- fore it has been wished a happy New Year. Japan has a half-million-dollar or- der in Milwaukee for sawmill machin- i £ SRR & ery. She is golng to learn to saw THE WORD OF A FELON. b R e v The summoning of the McNamaras| mpf \list congressman 4id not to appear before the grand jury at T.os Angeles has immediately prompted those who would like to have inguiry into the conspiracy, of which they are' two victims, to stop with their conviction and sentence, to raise a question as to the dependability of the word of convicts. It Is safe to assert that the word of such felons as these was good enough for the con- spiraters back of them and as good today as the word of the men who were capable of erdorsing their work and deputing them for the commission of murder and arson. What the McNamaras say will not convict the men higher up, but it will help the authorities to identify them and to collect evidence which If cor- roborative of the statements made by these men will lead to the conviction »f those of as great a responsibility belng accessory to and promoters of the erime. This believe McNamaras and the when they owned up he wanted them hanged. were guilty; Some shoppers handle Christmas goods just as if they were worthless things, and it doesn’t take them long to make them so.

Q.—How may we account for the pe- culiar power which some men possess over animals, as manifested particu- larly by train of wild animals? Is there anything the Bible that would reasonably account for this wonderful faculty? (H. F. R.) Answer.—The extraordinary powers exercised by some in the control and subjugation of wild animals is doubt- in some degree, mental endowment: originally conferred upon mankind by the Creator. The first man was creat- ed iu the image and likeness of God, and given dominion over the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea, and over every living thing that moved on the earth. Man was the absolute monarch, and centrolled the animal kingdom as such. As God 1is able to control all His creatures by His will, »o man was able to direct and control the unimal creation by the sheer force or power of his will, When man, because of disobedlence, fell from the state of per feetion enjoyed in the Garden of Elden, he began to lase (hose powers Which he formerly exercised, until now, after six theusand vears of mental, meral and phiSical decline, he is no lenger able to deminate {he animal creation by his will pewer, except in rare instances.

In the jun- jor and senior years, a second oppor- tunity to gain the honor by maintain- ing a stand of 3.30 for the two years has been given, while a stand of 3.50 in the senior vear alone will also en- able a student to~make the society. The new proposition is that men may work for the society in sopho- more and junior years and enter on a stand of 3.30. A ralsing of the stand of the freshn-an and sophomore years from to 3.30 is also part of the proposed change. It is believed that this additicnel opportunity to make the scciety w.ll result in a much better sophomore grade of scholarship than at p! ent, when there is no inccantive for these men to study, and so to keep them from falling into habits of study which they might find hard to shake off in the last two years. The first two years’ 'stand is raised to compensate for this additignal op- portunity, and place the three\combi- nations on an equal basis. The new ruling, if voted, will go in- to effect with the class of 1915, the sresent sophomores retaining the 3.25 stand. g Basketball at Yale this winter, pro- fessional coaching having been done away with, as in the other branches of sport, anl that by former rlayers having taken its place, seems likely to be successful.

Enthusiasm over international arbi- tration in the interests of world peace was in considerable evidence at the Woolsey ha!l meeting Sunday night, when meon I. Baldwin, Dr Lyman editor of The Outlook; Reyv. David arr Jordan, president of Leland Stenford, Jr., university, and Dean Henry W. Rogers of the Yale law =chcol presented the movement in its various phases, and in the neigh- borhood of a thousand peace petitions addressed to the senate for its con- sideration before making its final de- cision as to the ratification of the pending peace treaties with Great Britain and France at the present ses- sion. Goveracr Baldwin considered that the constitution of the United ates warranted the ratification of the treaty, despite the unfavorable re- port by he majority of the senate committee, and he was sure that the meral sertiment of the great body of American pople warrants it. Dr. Abbott said that the fundament- al ideas of the whole movement are those of international righteousness, while President Jordan spoke of the loss entaiied by war, which by de- stroying the strong, weakens tite na- tion and so keeps the common people from rising. S Dean Rogers showed the constitu- tionality of the treaty proposed.
