Some- MQ ) times we negotiated with the British Government for the abrogation of that treaty and sometimes we threatened < to abrogate it ourselves and build the canal, as Mr. Bryan ¢ ‘wanted to coin eilver, “without waiting for the ald or consent of any other nation.” : When Secretary Hay arranged a substitute for the Clayton-Bulwer agreement the Senate amended it to death. By the time a new Hay-Poncefote treaty was a guy who used to think he was a fly mug out in Chicago when he had a percentage in a cigar-store poker game massaging the windows of a saloon with = big piece of chamois skin the other night.

Then the trouble was transferred | ? to Bogota and ‘t was found necessary to have a new re- public made to order before the bargain could be com- pleted.

Pres- , Ident Roosevelt's successor ought to be able to preas the button that will let the water Into the completed canal and make New York the chief port of the Pacific.» PILE ON‘THE LOADS. 4 Senator Brackett has introduced a bill requiring all the public school children of the State to submit to in- truction in the principles of morality for at least four z hours a week, ten weeks in every year. ‘they are to bs study from suitable text books and to pass examina- tions as in other studies. This js clearly a step in the right direction, In the first place, the instruction is needed, as a Blance at Mr. Brackett’s colleagues in the Legislature would show. In the next place, the children are pining for something to Occupy their time. P At present, in default of anything better to ‘fill up odd moments, the pupils learn something about reading, writing and arithmetic—not very much, it is true, put still something that could very well be replaced by more | | important matters. At home most of them waste at least | ‘ an hour and a half a day in eating and several hours In Bleeping. Sometimes, although we admit this is rare, | * some of them have been known to play. ; The ideal school system is one in which the children | : ‘shall be inetructed all day in the pripeiples of morality, the effects of narcotics and intoxicants upon the numan syetem, the arts of crocheting and feather-stitching, and the methods of diagramming Browning's poetry, and shall sit up studying the next day’s lessons all night. ‘To those maicontents who insist thet the course should include a little training in the three K’s it 1s enough to| « say that this is supertuons, since before tne oniiaren of | ; this ideal system reached a stage at which they would | { have any use for these accomplishments they wouid all be dead. f A NOVELTY IN WAR. ‘According to a high Russian authority, “the war will end in August or September with the complete deteat of the Japanese.’ Possibly; but, if so, Russia will have had the satisfaction of creating an entirely new precedent in history. Can anybody recall a single case in the annals of the world in which a power, alert, ready, energetic and perfectly organized for war, has been completely defeated In six months by one apathetic, unready, slothful and un- organized, whatever the difference in bulk? NO FEMALE ANGELS? The Rev, Dr. Kaylor, of Westminster, L. I., ineists ; that there are no female angels in heaven. “Angels,” ne ‘ says, “are strong and glorious creatures, ranking next to the Son of God, and doing His work.” Dr. Kaylor ought to know all about it, if anybody does; but, granting the correctness of his definition, why should it exclude female angels? Are there no “strong and glorious creatures” among women? Perhaps vr. Kaylor has never happened to glance over the golf links, “Strong and glorious creatures’—why, really, that| ‘ comes near to being. the very definition of modern women. A woman has to be strong and glorious now- | adeya—giorious to catch the ehy and elusive modern an; strong to hoid him after she has caught him, 4 . No doubt the Rev. Dr. Kaylor knows all about angels. | @ “The trouble ‘s that he still has much to learn about ‘women. f < willing to cut in on this sort of thing now that would bn . have chewed scenery for a week if you had suggested it 1) & i! ® | to them a year or two ago. e “The lid is all right.

Such, apparently, 1s the lat- est development of Jersey justice, Scarcely two weeks ago a veteran Jersey Magistrate astonished the in- habitants of Plainfleld by announcing that he would marry all couples free of charge, such was his predilection for matrimony and his desire to encdurage it among his townspeople.
