Congress "on the Job."
Congress is capable of prompt action
when brought face to face with a real
emergency. The mediation and arbi
tration amendments of the Erdman act
were put through in record time, and,
of course, the President lost no time
appointing the necessarv tribunal in
order to make them operative.
The terms of the amended act may
not have received the same interpreta
tion from both parties to the present
railroad controversy, jet the language
employed seems to warrant the mean
ing given to it by the railroad man
agers, who claim that it is an instru
mentality which may be invoked by
the railroads as well as their emplojes
Were it otherwise, it would be an in
equitable measure.
This prompt action of the Presi
dent and of Congress should prevent
the threatened strike. The corpora
tions may have their grievances as well
as the men. The leaders of the train
men and conductors seem to acknowl
edge this, and it remains to be seen
whether the rank and file
will see
things in the same light. Latest re
ports seem to indicate that there will be
a difference of opinion as to whether
in the present instance only the
wage question is to be submitted to
the new commission, or if other prob
lems that worry the railroads are to
be ventilated as well. This seems to
us a w rong beginning. Both dispu
tants should have the same privilege be
fore the arbitration board If not, the
amended law maj become a flub for
the employes -rather than asoiventof
problem1.
We hope that the trainmen and con
ductors will not forget that the law
gives equal opportunitj to either side,
to take the initiative and invoke the
officers of the board to hear all com
plaints, and to decide upon the merit
of all cae alike. Then why -hould
the emploves start in at once with a
"demand" upon the commission to hear
only this, that, or the other'
Another Delay for Home Rule.
Lord Lansdowne plajed the last
trump of the Unionists in the House
of Lords when he moved the postpone
ment of any further consideration of
the home rule bill until the country
had passed upon the measure in a gen
eral election.
The Unionists appear to have for
gotten that in the first Parliamentary
election they themselves told the vot
ers that 'home rule was the issue
and the return of a Liberal majority
would mean a popular indorsement of
the measure." Consistencv is not to be
expected from politicians plajing a
desperate game; and that the Unionists
are desperate appears from their effort
to veto the bill The Lord do not
"reject" it for the second time in the
life of the present Parliament, hoping
thus to prevent it from becoming a
law automatically by resolution of the
Commons at next ear's session. But
the Parliament act savs that "failure
of the House of Lords to pass a bill
shall be equivalent to its rejection."'
But Premier Asquith has another
string to his bow. He announced that
the House of Lords would be abolished
at the next session; and this means
that the King will create enough peers
to overcome all opposition, because the
King will have to uphold his govern
ment, the isue being brought squarely
before him.
Secretary Garrison and the Army Posts
' The plan submitted by Gen. Wood,
involving the establishment of eight or
more strategic regions coinciding uilh
geographical divisions, has the approval
of Secretary Garrison. In each of these
there was to be an administrative or.
ganization for an army corps and the
necessary provision for mobilization
and concentration of the forces. Five
or more of these corps are to consist
of the militia of the States comprised
in a strategic region. The other three
corps would consist of United States
regular infantry, cavalry, and field ar
tillery, in due proportions, and these
troops would be quartered within the
region to which the corps might be as
signed. Perhaps this plan is not perfect, but
it has the merit of eliminating the
small, widely scattered posts and con;
ceptrating the army into tactical units.
Secretary Garrison has, been impressed
with Gen. Wood's suggestion. His five
weeks' "tour, ot inspectibn-cf 'the", army
posts -is to be--regrdedas prelimiaaiy
to the recommendation of radical 're
forms in army administration. Nothing
needs reformation more urgently. The
small post is a legacy jf the dajrs
when we had to divide 'our small annv
into minute parts ior the r protection of
our Indian frontier. The Indian raids
are over, and the pbsts'are no longer
defensive, but have become excuses for
raids upon the Treasury.
One of the main causes of waste
in the administration of the army is
the distribution of the troops in small
army posts. Every little post must
hate its staff of commissary and pay
officers.i-and there is..a- J6to"fv book
keeping -and correspondence and trans
portation charges.- .The sjstem 'pro
duces afield1" officers who never had a
jregfmcnt under their personal "'com-
mano; and enlisted- men might go
through their period,, of service.e.with
out having. experienced drills in units
larger than a company.- Successive
Secretaries of War have endeavored
to remedy these conditions without
success, chiefly because of opposition in
Congress. An army post in his dis
trict is considered by the Representa
tive in Congress a political asset, just
as a postoffice or Federal building or
a two-foot river channel is. It is a
means for getting an appropriation.
Mr. Daniels' "Single Mess" Rule.
If Secretary Daniels wants to intro
duce a larger amount of democracy in
the navv, his order compelling joint
meses aboard ship for officers and
men was not well chosen. It is a bur
lesque on democracy to compel all, to
eat the same food at the same table.
The democratic, principle is sufficiently
honored when a free career to talent
is offered to all, and it is open to the
deserving to rise. It is not inconsist
ent with American ideas that there
should be a bottom table as well as a
top table, though it is inconsistent with
them that there should be no free
passage on merit from the one to the
other. The navy is the least democratic
of our government service. .It is con
trolled by traditions and regulations.
It has not quite outgrown the idea that
sailors arc incapable of self-discipline
and need a marine guard to keep them
under control.
The navy i a peculiar service. Every
sea captain must be, to a large ex
tent, an autocrat on his own quarter
deck, and the distinctions which make
for discipline must be applied more
rigorously at sea than they arc on
land. So long as most seamen believe
that the barrier between those who
serve as officers and those who serve
as enlisted men must be kept taut, it
will be difficult to introduce into the
navy the practicewhich has lonjs pre
vailed. jn the armyof''drawjngjpn the
rank and file for officers.and thus as
suring a fairhance for promotion.
The army is 'much more democratic
than the navj. Yet no Secretary of
War ever has fathered the notion of
making officers and enlisted men mess
together. More effective for Mr. Dan
iels' purpose is his recent order pro
viding that onh enlisted men shall take
the examinations for appointment as
assistant paymasters, those examina
tions having been open previously
civilians He has thus opened one of
ihe navy corps to promotion from the
ranks, and set a precedent which he
may broaden by giving enlisted men
a larger opportunity than they have
enjojed heretofore of trying for places
as officers in the line.

we must have it. but some of us can't

The presence In Washington yesterday
of David Lamar and Unlted'States Dis
trict Attorney H. S. Marshall, of New

of the Investigation Into the Wall Street
manipulators movements, created con
siderable excitement. The movements
of both during the day were well cov
ered. Each claimed not to know of the
other's whereabouts.
Lamar has for some days been regis
tered at the Continental Hotel, while
Marshall and C A. Thompson, an assist

- . Treaty.
Announcement that within, a few
months a treaty will be prepared- provid
ing for Investigation and settlement of
all Questions and Usputes that may arise
between the United States ,snd Russia
was made yesterday by Secretary of.
State William Jennings Bryan In the
course of an address yesterday afternoon
at the State Department before the sixty-
eight Russian educators who are visiting
the city. The party called on the Secre
tary after being receded by President
Wilson at the White House.
Russia Indorsed Early.
"I am glad that your nation was one
of the early nations to Indorse the peace
plan that the President has proposed to
all the nations."-said Mr. Bryan. "Tour
Emperor has shown himself one of the
most advanced advocates of peace, and
I look forward with pleasure to the honor
that I, shall have as Secretary of State
of signing a treaty which, I have no
doubt, will be prepared within a few
months, providing for Investigation in all
questions of disputes that arise between
us. We believe that Investigation In all
cases will make still more remote the
possibility of war and bring still closer
the era of universal peace, and we look
forward to that era of universal peace
because It will give us an opportunity to
use the energies of the human race In
helpfulness rather than In the destruc
tion of each other.
When I was In college, something over
thirty j ears ago. I read In "The Democ
racy In America' the expression of an
opinion, or a prophecy, that Impressed
me at that time and has remained with
me since. That writer, writing more than
half a century ago, expressed himself as
very hopeful In regard to the future of
Russia. I was satisfied from my own ob
rervatlons. although they were limited,
that he had good ground upon which to
base the hope that he expressed. I am
sure that with the progress made In
vour country in the spread of education,
and also In matters of government, there
is even reason to believe that your na
tion wilt exert an Increasing Influence
among the nations of the earth.
Mntual Dement "Will Come.
"Let me again welcome you to our
country. Let me again bid you search
everj where and carry home with you any
Ideas that will be valuable to you, with
the assurance that as we use these
things we borrow from each other,
we are mutually helpful to each other,
we find a mutual benefit In this rivalry
and association.

"I do not know how many of you are

Yesterday morning a trip was made to
the Arlington experimental farm, where
a committee of six from the Department
of Agriculture,
headed by William E.

A 3Ilacrnrl Deer Farm.
From the Farm and Fireside
In a half-developed hill country a few
agricultural side lines may mean the dif
ference between farming at a loss or at
a profit. Chalmer Roseberry. of Stella,
Mo., has half a dozen of these side lines,
and the most unusual of them, deer farm
ing, has in recent years proved the most
remuneratlv e.
There was no demand at all for deer
In the Ozark hills when a little over
twenty years ago as a boy of sixteen
Roseberry penned off one and a halt
acres for a fawn which a neighbor gave
him for a pet. The first fawns that the
oung deer farmer sold a few years later
brought J20 a pair, and grown deer $30 a
pair.
The demand for the animals for parks
and circuses and country places recently
has got far ahead of the supply, and
Roseberrys common or Virginia white
tails are fetching S30 to SCO for a pair ot
fawns and 173 to JS5 for a pair of adults.

New Tork. July is. A thorough "hauac
eleanlng" of the New Haven system, un
der the personal direction of J. P. Mor

In the demoralization of that railroad Is
to be dismissed. The striking facts
marked the development yesterday.
L J. P. Morgan is the man lmmedletcly
responsible for the. resignation of Charles
S. Jiellen. which was accepted.
Z. A. committee . of six, headed by Mr.
Morgan, was named to choose as Lae
new hesd of the system a man free from
all New Haven entanglements. He must
be a man in whom the public has con
fidence. i The new president win be dlrwtrd
to dismiss all the old aids who helped
Mellen mismanage the road.
In this crisis, the first that has come
to the street since the death of the
elder J. P. Morgan, "lounsr Morzan
proved himself possessed of that same
Indomitable force and Independence that
made his father the master of the rich.
He did not even consult William Rocke
feller. In fact, when the directors met only
one man knew that the resignation of
President Mellen was to be presented.
Among those mentioned In the list
of possible successors to Mellen are:

Uneer Things About Glass
Glass Is one of the most Interesting an
well as one of the most peculiar things
in the world. It has curious and con
tradictory qualities, and many aston
ishing phenomena are connected with it.
Brittle and breakable as It Is, yet It ex
ceeds almost all other bodies In elas
ticity. If two glass balls are made to strike
each other at a given force, the recoil,
by virtue of their elasticity, will be
nearly equal to their original lmnetua.
Connected with Its Drittleness are some
very singular facts.
Take a hollow sphere with a hole and
stop the hole vlth the finger sg as ta
prevent the external and Internal air
from communicating, and the sphere Willi
fit- tn n! ht th mmr haat nf SViA
hand.
Vessels made of glass that have been
st-ddenly cooled possess the curious prop
erty oi oeing aoie to resist narov mows
given to them from without, but will be
instantly shivered by a small particle of
flint dropped Into their cavities.
This property seems to depend upon
the comparative thickness of the bottom;
the thicker the bottom is the more cer
tainty of breakage by this experiment.
Some of these vessels. It Is stated, have
resisted the stroke of a mallet given
with sufficient forc to drive a nail Into
wood, and heavy bodies, such as musket
balls, pieces of Iron, bits of wood, jasper
and stone, etc. have been cast into them
from a hlght of two or three feet with
out any effect. J at a fragment from a
flint not larger than a pea dropped frora
a height of three Inches has made them
to pieces.
