THE EVENING STAR. With Sunday Xorninff Edition. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. .. .December 19, 1908 | THEODORE W. NOYES Editor I Entered as second-class mail matter at the post L offlce at Washington. D. C. B THE STAB has a regular and perma nant Family Circulation much mora B than the combined circulation of the other Washington dallies. Aa a Hews and Advertising Medium it baa no B competitor. P it Zn order to avoid delays on account OX prriuuu I?cuvc ?w STAB should not be add re* led to any individual connected with the office, hut I eimply to TXS STAB, or to the Bdltorial ' or Bnslneea Department, according to tenor or purpose. Philander C. Knox. There < an he but one opinion about the qualifications of Senator Knox for the office of Secretary of State. They are nmplc. and Jic will fill the place with distinction. He is, as Judge Taft says, a at eat lawyer, lie will bring to his new duties the training obtained in the courts, at the cabinet table, and in the Senate. He is in tHe prime of life. At fifty-five a man in the political world is reckoned as having the sun right overhead. He should be as buoyant as a boy. Nnother point of great value is that Mr. Knox will take his new office familiar with the leading questions he will find awaiting him. He was so recently at the cabinet table he has not lost touch with cabinet problems. He will be quite at home seated near Judge Taft discussing the welfare of the country. Taft in Roosevelt's chair and Knox in Root's t> ill merely change the positions of the two men at the table. The only matter affording a doubt relates to the taking of Mr. Knox out of the Senate. This. Mr. Knox himself con A?_ IT fesses. gave mm a momeni ? pause, nrtbought the Senate the better field for usefulness, and that he could serve his party better there. Since the suggestion n* his name for a cabinet place others have expressed the same opinion. The Star entertained it. and only the other dav declared it. Fait the decision was with Judge Taft. and Mr. Knox naturally bowed to it when rendered. He speaks modestly on the matter, but like a true soldier. He will servo where assigned. What will Pennsylvania do about tilling the vacancy in the Senate? The responsibility Is more than ordinary. In numbers the repuhlicaifs are strong in the upper house of Congress. But they have n<< strong men to spare. Their opponents, while few in number, are led by young men of force. Culberson. Bailey. Bacon. Rayner and others are able and alert, and with improved party fortunes should make It uncomfortable for the other side. It is a long lane that has no turn, and the democrats are not in absolute despair. Has the Keystone state a man of the Knox kind to put in his place? If so she should prepare to put him there. The party will need him. With the tariff question, the trust question, the railroad question and the inland waterways question all knocking: at the door, Pennsylvania should be in the front line of the contest. Her interests are large, and should be represented by more than a vote. It is a fine opportunity, both for the siate. and for the new man if the proper one is chosen. So great a state should b? able to produce the proper man. Mr. Knox when appointed Attorney General was unknown to the country. He had no reputation outside of the courtroom. There, however, he was most favorably regarded, and on the strength of such recommendations Mr. McKinley called him to his side. The rest is fresh in the public mind. But in making Mr. Knox senator. Pennsylvania simply indorsed Mr. McKinley's important "find." It was the successful Attorney General, and not the exceptionally able Pittsburg lawyer, whom she rewarded. Is she capable of "finding" the right man for herself? The Aviator. Wilbur Wright's remarkable performances in France continue to establish successive records for height of ascent, distance and speed of flight and time of Invitation. His machine is undoubtedly the best that has thus far been demonstrated. whatever may have been accomplished b.v other inventors in secret. I'p to this tim?, however. Mr. Wright I as maneuvered his apparatus within the hounds of a chosen field, starting and landing on prepared ground. Thus the supreme test of the aeroplane is yet to be applied, the undertaking of a flight across country to a fixed destination and the selection there of a landing place. I'ntll this is accomplished successfully the aeroplane remains a scientific toy, of no utility whatever as a practical aid to human enterprise. That tlvs teat will soon be applied is not to be doubted, and there is n?? warrant for im patience. It must be r^mcmbfrfd that lh? soaring machine is*a product Of only the past two or three years; indeed, as far as the public is concerned it has been the growth of less than one year. It has been evident from the beginning that success depends in this effort upon the operator as much as upon the machine. Thus. Wilbur Wright mVv be regarded as the most skilled of living a\iators. Until he ha. mastered the art of aerial navigation the " practical" demonstrations that are to prove whether man is to fly at will must wait. As soon as he has brought his apparatus to perfection and ; as acquired the bird's sense of balance? and this outcome may not now be ques1:oned?he will doubtless be followed bymany others, and another half decade may witness the evolution of a new class of public servitors, men capable of guiding aeroplanes safely from point to point. ev?n as now there are chauffeurs who can handle high-speed road engines without mishap Aeroplane schools will be e?tabllshed. and there will be need of a new < ode of rules to govern the navigation of the air. Fire insurance policies would not l?e inappropriate gilts for people who insist on being careless about their holiday illuminations. Johnson and Bryan. The Boston Transcript: "dev. Johnson's assertion that the democratic party's condition is today better than before the campaign will recall to the historically minded the declarations o! the Richmond newspapers, in the early spring of INm. that Gen. l.ee had got Gen Grant just where he wanted him." Allowance must be made for Gov. Johnson's position. As one of the few whe saved something out of the wreck last month, lie must be cheerful. As his friends ave "opes, lie also must 'ave. Otherwise, it would bo useless for anybody to gc 011 with the Johnson boom for 1012. As a matter of fact?and probably s<~ clever a politician as Gov. Johnson is well aware of the fact?the democratic party's condition today is too peculiar tc be compared or contrasted with anything in the past And the future is a puzzle Jt is true tlie Johnson men are talking Johnson, tlie llaxlflon men Harmon, whlh the old guard among the Fryanitcs assert that, while Mr. Fryan Is forced to surrender now and then, he never dies. They are really in favor of putting him up for a fourth race. But look at matters. Judge Taft is on the eve of taking office under a state of public feeling which rarely occurs in our affairs. Personally he is as popular with democrats as with republicans. All the nien who have come in contact with him since he has been a national figure express admiration for and confidence in him. Nearly everybody expects him to succeed in the presidency. And if he does succeed, can there be but one result? Will not success spell a second term? I.et us then consider the situation in the summer ?i" 1(11') in the li?ht of this probability. If Taft's strength at that time is so formidable as to discourage the opposition. Mr. Bryan may not care for the democratic nomination. After taking Roosevelt's measure in the latter part of 190:> he refused his friends the use of his name, and by so doing paved the way for Judge Parker, although he preferred another man. His judgment was verified at the polls. Roosevelt was invincible that year. Mr. Bryan might have made a better showing than Judge Parker, but he, too, would have been beaten. But if because of Taft's success in oflice Mr. Bryan should not care for his party's leadership in 1912. what would it be worth to Gov. Johnson? Let it be granted that the Nebraska man is clean and conservative and all that. But there will be a clean and conservative man / in office, and why a change? There is the question of a lack of good feeling between Gov. Johnson and Mr. Bryan, and that may crop out in season. We are not likely to see Mr. Bryan an enthusiastic Johnson man in any state of case. And the democracy's condition cannot bo good, better or best while it is faction torn and Mr. Bryan is at the head of one faction. i>. * Two Urgent Local Needs. Attorney General Bonaparte in his annual report calls attention to two' especially urgent local needs, concerning the importance of which there should be no doubt whatever in Congress. One is the demand for a new jail or. better, for a penitentiary in this District, prisoners sentenced to serve long terms being now by necessity sent to other jurisdictions for custody. A commission, consisting of Justice Stafford. Mr. John Joy Edson, and * - r\_? ? M a. j ^ c t..? mr. l.a uuw ui uie uepai iiiicul ui juaI tice. has been at work during the year ex, amlning the local conditions and obtaining information relative to the penal institutions elsewhere. This commission is I instructed to report to Congress before | the March adjournment. Doubtless its i conclusions are even now being formulated for submission. So urgent is the need of relief at the jail, however, that the Attorney General recommends that provision be made at once for the temporary custody of prisoners now confined in the jail. "Grave conseqiibnces," he says, "may result from any undue delay" in dealing with the case. This significant language should cause immediate action. But nothing that may be done for the temporary relief of the situation should check the making of an appropriation at this present session for the construction in the District of a model penitentiary, capable of caring decently and judiciously for the lawbreakers who may be convicted in this jurisdiction for years to come. The second important need is that of the girls' reform school, an institution of value tOi the community in the care of the wayward. So crowded is the school that it has become necessary, as Mr. Bonaparte points out, to release a large number of the inmates to make room for newcomers who are more urgently in need of care and to utilize for ordinary housing purposes the hospital and rooms ordinarily put to other uses. Such a condition necessarily lessens the effectiveness of the school, which should be large enough to accommodate in proper manner all the girls whom the court may deem to be in need of such restraint. There should be no limit to the freedom of the court in committing unruly girls to the institution designed for their correction and moral training. This item should be promptly considered; with the result of granting the appropriation of SoO.OOO urged by the Attorney Qeneral for the erection of the absolutely essential additional building. Castro. The fury of the mob at Caracas may not have been directed solely at Castro. What sort of statues of the dictator were those thgt perished? What grade of art did they represent? Celebrities are sometimes placed at a serious disadvantage In that way. It adds to the terror of fame to be obliged to appear in bronze, or in marble, or on canvas, from the chisel or brush of some "shoemaker." If Castro had allowed the town to be disfigured with counterfeit presentments of himself that In truth were counterfeits, it was a good time for the population, acting in a spirit of local pride, to lake revenge. Any effort to settle the Brownsville matter permanently must look like an attempt to efface Senator Foraker from politi-s. Kditors who get into quarrels with the President are likely to tlnd some consolation in looking over their circulation statements. Senator Thomas Piatt's idea of publishi ing a book of reminiscences seems mod] est. lie could easily afford a magazine of h!s own. . I Statements are being published to the i effect that there was nothing in that i ..A ? 1 ..A If.. A J / A j Piury auum di^uiun.> aim v.injpau H. ! But why dig up so old a scandal as that? Gov. Haskell ought to be able to give some suggestions as to the difficulties which attend a rebuking enterprise. W. R. Hearst seems so content with the defeat of Bryan that he almost forgets to sympathize with Hisgen. The Proper Name of Christmas. Next Friday will be Christmas, not I Xmas or Yuletide, and all who believe in I railing things by their proper names will ! discourage by their good example the writing of the substitutions. Xmas is a crude abbreviation which is no less than irreverent. Christmas is so called because it is the anniversary of the birth of Christ. An X is a "criss cross," and its substitution for the first syllable of the name of the great Christian festival is a strained attempt at abbreviation. Fat more seemly would It be to write the word (."mas. That would still lack in the full reverence due the name of the day, but it would be innocent of suggestion of a pun. It would seem as though therewere ink enough and space enough and time enough to give to Christ's natal day all the nine letters ?hich belong to it. "Yuletide" Is no proper substitution for Christmas." It refers, it is true, to ti e same season of the year, but it is not a suitable synonym. It is a relic of the ancient tlieolog> of northern Kurope, the worship of Thor. It was the practice of the Scandinavians in those early days to hold a great feast at the time of the winter solstice, which occurs a few Jays hefore Christmas, to cclcbrat" the coming of a new sun. It was virtually the Norse new year, and it is only a chance that when the t^'hr stian rcl'gion Wiis intro dueed Its chief festival virtually coincided with the Juul-tide feast. Naturally the two became confused and thus with the passing of the Norse mythology and the substitution of the Christian faith among the peoples of north Europe many of the practices of the Thor worshipers became grafted on to the popular observances of the Christmas season. These included the burning of the yule-log and the eating of the yule-cake. The mistletoe was a feature of the old Drhidieal rit^s, and thus j from a third religious system came one of the now common attributes of tlie groat Christian ceremony, it is well to bear those facts in mind, else the symbolism of Christmas, its lesson and its moral uplift may be lost. Reports come in that the hens are laying again. This news arrives just in time to prevent the hens from running the risk of severe reprimand from those who have the nation's welfare at heart. By playing only a moderately good game of golf .Mr. Taft escapes a groat deal of envy. An invincible man is never universally popular. There is no reason why Mr. Bryan should insist on trying to look surprised i everv time he is defeated. [ It is safe to predict that very few letters from Air. Archbold will be delivered at the Capitol this winter. Possibly Castro Is reconciled to the idea of letting Holland help itself to anything he has left. It will be difficult to make tariff debate as exciting as some of the other topics that threaten to appear in Congress. The funeral of the late Emperor of China is said to have cost 14,000,000. Evidently the Asiatic undertaker lias a pull. SHOOTING STABS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Paradoxical. "Study the careers of our successful men." said the person who gives advice. "That's what I have been doing." answered the observant youth. "These invest itrat ions indicate that some of them succeeded by not knowing anything about their business." A Question of the Hour. Oh. let our thoughts to peace be turned, Our angry moods let's smother. How can our salaries be earned Rebuking one another? "De man dat goes aroun* singin' his own praises." said Uncle Kben. "is mighty li'bla to get disapp'inted when he looks foh folks to jine in de chorus." The Battle of Phrases. "Our office has been terribly upset by the controversy we got into," said one New York journalist. "What's the trouble?" asked the other. "The boss has been so busy looking for words to express his indignation that the art critic and the dramatic editor haven't a thesaurus left to their names:" Determination. "Shall we sit in silence at suc\> a time?" said one member of Congress. "No!" answered the other; "whatever we may be accused of it shall not be silence!" Through Hardships. Standing in a street car, In the twilight gloom, .trying to sicp ium?iu nn?= There isn't any room; Some one shoves some holly Halt way down your neck, Knocks your hat about your ev es And leaves you quite a wreck; Pretty little baby Hubs a candy cane Over your best suit and smiles At your look of pain; Heavyweight conductor, Shouting as he goes, Shoves his elbow through your chest And treads upon your toes; What's the use of kicking? When the work is done You'd go through twice the trouble lor The sake of half the fun! Knox for Secretary of State. From tbe New York World. President-elect Taft in making requisition on the tried cabinet material of his predecessor could not have chosen a better man for Secretary of State than Senator Philander Chase lvnox of Pennsylvania. Senator Knox is one of the ablest men in public life?one of the ablest the generation lias produced. His mind is clear, comprehensive, vigorous, acute, logical and thoroughly trained. He will go into history as one of the greatest of Attorney (ienerals. In the hands of the man who first demonstrated the validity of the Sherman anti-trust law against the power of the trusts, who brought the railroad giants and the beef trust magnates to terms and who framed an antirebate law which worked, the standard of work in the State Department is not likely to fall below that established by Hay and Root. And personally Mr. Knox's hands are clean. Holiday Zeal. From tbo Syracuse Herald. The scenes of activity in the business streets of the city are eloquent proof that Christmas is incomparably the most popular of all holidays. Even had weath er does not serve to abate the benevolent zeal of the holiday shopper. Every year the ante-Christmas rush seems to grow more formidable. The wise chaps who arise now and then to declaim against Christmas extravagance in general and the Santa Clans legend in particular have been powerless to inlluence the opinions or customs of the masses The grip of Christmas on popular affection is firmer than ever. Brain Foods. I'rem llir Nashville Banner. A scientist in a lerture to a Buffalo audience the other da./ declared that there was no such thing as brain food per sc. II** said that many of the so-called brain foods have a stronger tendency toward dyspepsia than to mental improvement. We are not prepared to ful'y accept or to controvert the assertions made by this lecturer, but we arc inclined to believe that whatever may lxi claimed for certain kinds of diet or drugs as special mental pabulum, the best brain food attainable is a good and wholesome diet which properly riclioc mmin- no i* I I lin V?.-vrl * livm icil> o * ? \ l J I'm v Vf? < li?
