The Democracy and the Navy. ?'onfe.-sion i:- good for the soul. and. whenever possible, reparation should ac company confession, l^t the democrats of flu House confess their blunder in the matter of the battleships. and vote for i he two necessary at this time. Why offer one as a compromise? If retreat is in or der. why not so back to perfectly safe j;r>>'ind, and especially as that pround has V.. en indicated by public sen'iment? It is ahsT.Td. to begin with, to vote rca:n.-t n.-w ~hips On the score of econ ??!> ? . The amount involved was too small fur consideration on that score. A few million <lollars are not properly quotable aza'n-t the issue of an adequate provi sion for the national defense. We have the money. and we need the ships it was equally absurd to undertake to s.:pp'?rt that vote by asserting that the ships were not necessary. The highest professional authority. Admiral Dewey show ng 'he way. was on the other side. Two ships. :it least, it was declared, were necessary, and should bv all means be provided for In this year's naval bill. Why have resisted such judgment, and followed tlie lead of politicians playing politics? And it so happens that the I?dge reso lution in tlie Senate glowing o:it of the Magrialena bay affair is the most pro nounco.l expression of the meaning of the ?Monroe doctrine that has been heard in recent times. It. carries farther than Mr. Cleveland's message in the Venezuela af fair. It is a large order, but supported bv American sentiment throughout the T'nion. A tit what is the use of talking about the Monroe doctrine, or passing resolu tions on the subject, if we are to neglect our duty in tho matter of providing for its enforcement if necessary? One good :ip is worth a thousand proclamations, and two good ships are worth two thou sand. It is well enough as different phases of the question arise to reproclalm i Monroe doctrine, but never without ;n some way showing our ability to sup pn-t It. The democratic party today finds- its numbers and principal strength in the so-ith: and heretofore the south has not l>e^n indifferent to either the army or the navy. Is it indifferent to the navy to day? Is it not likelier that some south ern politicians have misread the situation, and are opposing the south's real sen r nrtent on this subject? And if the day is saved the credit will be due to such men as Mr. S'llzer, who from the begin ning have treated the question as above partisanship, sectionalism, or the false and petty cry of economy. Dangerous Delay. Just two weeks ago two cars collided at a street railway crossing in this city, killing one man and dangerously injur ing two others. The coroner's Inquest disclosed the fact that each of the two inotormen thought he had the right of way at that point, there being no flag man or signalman there to direct the movements of the ears. It should have he?-n the most obvious of deductions from this accident, especially as others have occurred of a similar nature at various street car crossings in this city, that the i-ure way to prevent mishaps of the same kind in the future would be to require the employment of flagmen at ail the bui>y crossings. Yet up to date nothing has been done in this direction by either fne interstate commerce commission, under lis '?pecia! authority of supervision over local street railway matters, or the I'istrict Commissioners, under their gen eral police regulation authority granted by act of Congress. What further proof i- required of the danger of depending upon the mutual sig^ais of inotortnen at placee of heavy traffic? Th? re is no as surance whatsoever that cars v ill not come together with fatal results any day .it one of these busy i?oints. The com panies cannot insure against misunder ftandings on the part of motormen. and as long as the authorities i>ermit the pres ent conditions to prevail the public safety is menaced. Consideration of schedules and running board rule* and other mat ters of street railway regulation to re- I eve congestion and lessen danger is ah | very well, and may lead to better condi- i tions. but of imperative necessity is the Rationing of signalmen to keep the cars from coming together. This can be done without further legislation and should be done withbut further delay. New York's law axainst weapon-carry ivt; seems to have resulted chTefly in mak inc life more uncertain for people lacking a cr??okc?! pull The next Chicago convention will be in reality a notification meeting, with Col. Kootr velt in the leading role. New York's Professional Criminals. Yesterday one of the men who is charged with being a member of the prang that shot Herman liosentna'. to death was arrested at a resort in the t'at.-kllls. This man's name is burled somewhere in the list of a'.lases that were given in the descriptive circular sent out <?> C.e police. He is various'y known as Whitie Lewis, Whitie Jack. Jacob Selgel, r.-ank Muller and Frank Siedenshue, with probability in favor of the last men tioned as the real name. But by what* ever name he is known this man has a police record that is worthy of attention bearing upon one of the most sig nificant and disquieting features of this whole affair. It is known that he was convicted of grand larceny In the second degree December 3, 1904. and imprisoned at the fcJlmira reformatory. On the 3d of May, 19"he was sent to the Now York city reformatory for grand larceny, and on the Oth of September of the same year be was sent to Sing Sing for the same offense. He was discharged from prison on thia last occasion three years later. Thus in a period of less than three years this man was convicted three A times of grand larceny. He had earned! classification as an habitual criminal, and yet he was at large in New York in July, and free for employment as a profes sional murderer along with others whose records were probably as bad as his, if not worse. There are today at liberty in New York c'ty hundreds, possibly thousands, of men whose police records are long and who. if justice were done, would be today un der restraint as persons dangerous to the peace and security of the community. Every one of these men is a potential thief or killer. The police know them, know their haunts and habits and can pet them whenever they are really want ed. If the courts would apply the laws rigorously In passing sentences, most of these men would today be in prison. I'n der an habitual criminals act, such as the wisest penologists in this country ad vocate. there would be no such accumula tions of evil and dangerous people in our cities. The jails and the penitentiaries might for a time be filled to capacity, but life and property would be safer and such corrupt police organisations as that of New York would have less material for employment and use in grafting practices. It was because those who wish ed to put Herman Rosenthal out of the way knew just where to lay their hands on professional criminals who could be hired for anything from perjury up to as sassination that this murder was made possible under the guise of a gamblers' feud. The suspicion grows that it is to the interest of certain classes in New York, as perhaps In other large cities, to maintain these groups and gangs of crooks and thugs ii stead of sending them to prison, where every consideration of public safety demands they should be confined. Clark and Wilson. In inner Wilson circles there is criti cism of Champ (lark. His loyalty to the ticket is not impeached, but it Is de scribed as chilly. It lacks warmth. Fear Is expressed that unless Mr. Clark changes ills manner and speech his fol lowers may not find their way to the polls in htrge numbers on election day. Is not this unjust? What would these critics have? Mr. Clark promptly ac quiesced in the Baltimore decision, and telegraphed his congratulations to Mr. Wilson. He then journeyed to Seagirt, and paid his respects in person. He then headed the procession of the demo cratic members of the House to Seagirt, and introduced the visitors one by one to the candidate. He then announced his purpose to take the stump for the ticket as soon as Congress adjourned. What more remained, or remains, for hiin to do? Maybe the criticism is founded on the fact that Mr. Bryan promptly acquiesced in the St. Ix>uis decision in 1904, congrat | ulated Judge Parker on his nomination, [ and took the stump for the ticket, but ! did it all so perfunctorily many thou sands of his followers failed to enroll themselves for the ticket when voting time came. Mr. Clark has excuse for stronger dis appointment than Mr. Bryan had eight years ago. Judge Parker's nomination was simply the defiance by the St. Ijouis convention of Mr. Bryan's advice. Mr. Bryan himself was not a candidate be fore the convention. He had only polrK ed out to that body the inadvisability of permitting Wall street to dominate it. So that on the personal side his resent ment was small. At Baltimore Mr. Clark was over whelmed. He was not only a candidate, but the leading candidate; not only led, but on a number of ballots polled a sub stantial majority of the delegates. By every consideration of fair dealing he should have been nominated. Mr. Bryan defeated him. As a shrewd politician familiar with the game, the man whom Mr. Clark had three times supported for President jumped at a moment critical to Mr. Clark's fortunes from Mr. Clark to Mr. Wilson, and led the movement which resulted In the Wilson victory. He put the knife to Mr. Clark' just when the latter was in sight of suc cess. Still, Mr. Clark was obliged to bow, and did bow, to the result. He is in line, though probably Ills enthusiasm for the moment might be higher. A man ordi narily does not recover frofti such an ex perience In a fortnight or six weeks. The time approaches, however, when he will ask for votes for Mr. Wilson, even with , Mr. Bryan likely to heart a Wilson cabi- ' net, and it will then be for the men of the Ozark country and Clark men else where to decide on their course. It was thought that J. P. Morgan would have a great deal to cay when he returned from Europe. But something of the same Idea prevailed when Col. Roose velt was on his way back from Africa. If Mayor Uaynor had been placed on a presidential ticket he would have been obliged to display much energy in de nouncing the police scandal as campaign mud-slinglng. In view of recent events musical com edy choruses are expected to be more ret icent in the warblings about "dear old Broadway" next winter. Keeping so scholarly a gentleman as Clifford PInchot continually on the war pjith does not seem exactly considerato on the part of T. R. The perils they have faced together on sea and land should bind Mr. Ismay and Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon forever in fast friendship. Tioston is an altitudinous example of sagacious and indefatigable superiority In base ball as well as a top-notcher in lit erature. Some of the efforts to dlsm.ss the Ro senthal murder as a trivial circumstance read like a sadly perverted sense of hu mor. Got. Hadley is one of a number of pro gressives who decline to progress out of sight of some of the good old landmarks. Newport's new dance, the horso trot, !s liable to arouse the resentment of every person who loves horses. l>ird Mersey's opinions make some con cessions to self-preservation as the first law. Street Noises. This morning there was hauled down Pennsylvania avenue for several blocks a large caBt iron tar-melting tank on wheels that shrieked to heaven. It dis turbed .?everal thousand people In its course, which was not molested by any intervent'on of jollee authority, for there is unhappily no law against noises in the public streets of Washington at least noises that are attributable to the prose cution of business It was probably nec essary to move that tank down the street, but was it necessary to leave its wheels ungreased? Should there not be some standard of propriety in these matters? This tar tank ?s only an Instance of many Illustrating the need of a higher standard of street quiet in Washington. Of cour?e, some noises are unavoidable, such as the clatter of street cars over crossings and the rattle of carts and wagons over tracks, and now and then .he sudden application of car brakes pro ducing loud vibrations. But there are also many other noises that can be sup pressed if Inducements are offered in the way of threatened fines for needless con tributions to the urban din. Washington streets art so smooth and wide that there is little need of a great volume of noise. Some years ago a society was formed for the suppression of unnecessary noises, but it has made but little progress here in Washington, where conditions are no better than they were a decade ago, but, indeed, are worse, as a result of the in crease of traffic. Without asking any art commission about the matter, it may be confidently asserted that a base ball pennant would j make a very handsome open-air decora tion for Washington, the City Beautiful. Mr Bryan's one-thousand-dollar check is not nearly so valuable a contribution to ' the democratic campaign as his speeches are expccted to be. Friends of Harry Thaw must realize by this time that hi* act was not one of those "little affairs that soon blow over." SHOOTING STABS. BY PHlliAJfPEB JOHNSON. The Volunteer. "That man makes himself very con spicuous by his efforts to be funny at a base ball gam**." "Yes." replied Miss Cayenne. "I am very much afraid he will become un popular. .Some day he is going to prove so amusing to the players that they will delay the game to watch him. Helping Father. "Yep," said Farmer Corjitossel; "my boy Josh is a great help to ine since ho got home from school " "Does he know much about farming? "Sot a thing." "Then how does he help you?" "Keeps the summer boarders interested by explainin' all about agriculture to ?em." An Official Curiosity. He had no sense of ethics fine. His crudeness makes us sob. He did not trouble to "resign," He simply quit his job. Caught in a Rising' Market. "I have always regretted." said Mr. Growcher. "that in my youth I was not permitted to read dime novels. "For what reason?" "Economy. I would have satisfied the | craving for sensational romance at less than a tenth of what 1 now have to pay for 'best sellers.' " An Underworld. "You say you saw New York's 'under world'"' said the horrified relative. "Oh, yes." replied Mrs. McGudley. "And I consider it very neat and inter esting. I think every large city ought to have a subway system." More to Follow. "That candidate quotes the Ten Com mandments." "Yes. But only for temporary use till he gets his own party platform ready." Approaching Autumn. Now comes the season when the flower Unto the fruit gives way. No more we note the sun and shower With feelings light and gay. A reckoning ere long must show To the inquiring mind What things have gathered strength to grow And what were left behind. Which one of all these men we cheer So lustily each day In chill November will appear A victor in the fray? And who the pennant will secure That base ball prize immense? Oh. neighbors: Ilow can we endure This terrible suspense? The First "Press" Conference. From the Obleago Record-Heral?1. The modern newspaper has been a ; topic of discussion for decades. and w ill j continue to be such a topic for centuries to come. But a conference under uni versity auspices to discuss the state of the press, or tendencies, cvlis and im portant developments In the press is a new thing. It is a good thing, for the modern newspaper, like other human in stitutions, needs honest and sane criti cism. At the Madjson conference there are "outsiders". a3 we.l as "insiders." We believe that a few practical newspaper men are present. They arc there to learn [ as well as to instruct. They will be j the first to appreciate suggestions of , real merit. should any be offered. ? One question, by the way, discussed j is whether the newspaper is a mere | business enterprise. Who imagined iliat j such a question existed? There arc some i exceedingly poor, untrustworthy, yellow, ] dishonest newspapers in the world. But ; is there a single newspaper publisher or I editor who does not profess moral obliga tions and public spirit? Does a singe newspaper admit that it is destitute of ideals and principles and is a mere money maker, selling news without re gard to its character or effect? There are editors who ought to be in jail and edi tors whose place Is the private asylum, but there are no editors who openly re pudiate moral, civic and social obliga tions. Mr. Taft. From the New York Sun. Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance is clear, moderate, dignified, statesmanlike, worthy of one of the most maligned and most competent of Presidents. The encyclo pedia of scurrility has been discharged at him hv the Master of Malice; all the lackeys and linkboys of the automaniac throne are handed against him; at the service of Mr. Taft's calumniators are the moneybags of anKelic plutocrats, some of them used to shelter from prosecution or legislation under that buckler of "predatory wealth," without scruple and without shame Mr. Taft's enemy, his old friend, and the parasites and led cap tains of that enemy are ljoundless in misrepresentations and falsehoods. The fact remains that Mr. Taft fulfills the Jeffersonian definition; lie is honest, he is capable, he is faithful to the Constitu tion. Embarrassing. From the New York KTenlnr Post. Everybody at Washington is busily en gaged in putting everybody in a hole. That is the seeming explanation of the general tariff tangle into which the two houses of Congress have fa;>n. The democrats are anxious to embarrass the republican Senate and the republican President by tending them tariff bills which they wl'l hate to take and dread [to reject. On the ot ler .-.and. the Sen ate wishes to make '.t awkward for the House. I-a Foil* tie seeks to dish :he regular republican.-; and hence wool ..nd S cotton and sugar and st*el are knocked j iback and forth in the srame of battledore j and shuttlecock. All this is called making "political capital." Home-Coming! From the Baltimore San. Some husbands send their families away I to the summer resorts just for the pleas ure of having them come home again. He Can Make Them. From the Philadelphia Pre**. The colonel will not only make a speech of acceptance, but he really has the strongest claim of any one to the right to make the speech of notification. A Good Year. From the Chicago New*. v For a presidential year this one is re markably full of good things.
