SUNDAY. JANUARY 24, 190?.
HOUSE ACTION ON NAVAL BILL.
The national House of Represents* J
tires on Friday last voted overwhelm.
Ingly in favor of the House commit-!
tee on naval affairs' recommendations J
for increase of the navy.
Notwithstanding that the commit?
tee Itself had cut the department's es.
' timate half In two, members occupy?
ing high committee positions in the
House exerted themselves to have
the warship building program still
further curtailed. Among these was
Congressman Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman of the appropriations com?
mittee, who poses at present as the|
"watchdog of the treasury."
Mr. Tawney apparently belongs to
the coterie of statesmen who believe
gj that international peace should be
preserved at any price, provided the
price goes toward the building of
post offices and the Improvement of
batteau navigation in their respective
Inland districts.
A? an argument against further na?
val Increase, Mr. Tawney submitted
his personal belief that Japan could
not go to war because she hasn't ihe
necessary money in her treasury.
The Japanese government doesn't I
appear to see the financial difficulties |
blocking its way that the inland Unit?
ed States congressman discerns from j
afar.
Era . dJI indications point to the proba
hUlty that Japan will fight the Unit
04 States should California persist
la her determination to adopt a law
governing Japanese in that State
which already exists on the statute
hooks of Japan, governing Americans
sa that country
That hi, Japan limits the tenure of
American ownership of real estate in
Japan, but threatens us since the
Withdrawal cf the battleship fleet
from the Pacific should one of the
State? of the Union restrict Japanese
?objects in America as American cJtL
sens already are restricted In Japan.
The truth of the matter probably |
Is that the members who are in fa?
vor of overlooking this palpable m
e?h from an Asiatic nation realize
that the mffijptenanrt- of a strong
finacrlran fleet in the Pactflc will en?
tail the upbuilding of another fleet for
the adequate protection of the Atlan?
tic coast,

Harbors receive comparatively
small consideration.
No general rivers and harbors bill
will be passed at this session of Con?
gress Why* Because congressmen
I are not re-elected In the fall of 1909.
1 The rivers and harbors bill will be
passed by the second session of the
Slxty-nrst Congress, the session im?
mediately preceding the next congres?
sional election.
Adequate appropriations for naval
Increase at thla time might render
the I'nitej States treasury unable to

last preceding the congressional elec
Hons of 1910.
I ANIMALS VERSUS MEN.
It Is reported from Nashua, N. II..
that a petition is being circulated re?
questing President Roosevelt to give
up his intended hunting trip in Africa,
on the ground that the force of hlsj
example will tend to Increase the!
slaughter of wild animals. It is stat?
ed further that the petition is put
forth by the New Hampshire Wo?
men's Humane Society.
Perhaps the lives of the wild ani?
mals of Africa are < ery dear to them
selves. Bu: it Is not on record that
a member of the animal tribe ever
tl strayed i.telf or contract'd tnsani'v
..? reason of the demise of a relv
live.'
Furthermore, except In the case of
the very youthful offspring, no repre?
sentative of the animal kingdom is
very seriously inconvenienced by the
untimely taking off of a forbear.
But with human beings, it is dif?
ferent. The husband of a woman
and father of half a score of children
who loses his life in a preventable
real mine accident generally leaves
to his loved ones a dual heritage of
n.t \tal suffering and physical hard?
ship.
Vet while all over the country
there are organized societies to pro?
tect tt'iimals and birds, not one of
thtee has raised a protest against'
the needless slaughter of human
beings under the crest of the earth.
Explosions and cave-Ins occur and j
recur in the mines 'of this country?
twice In two weeks recently ln a Vir?
ginia shaft.
Only very rarely do like catastro?
phes overtake workers ln foreign
mines.
The foreigners rigidly exact com?
pliance with the laws providing for
the safety of the operatives. There
la reason to believe that this system!
might profitably he copied in this
country. ' [
Still, there hi no society for the'
preservation of human life or for the
prevention of cruelty to human beings |
Thousands of pious people appear
to be exercised over the possible
ataoghter of African four-footed ani?
mals who never have considered the
welfare of the two-foote.1 animals in
America. j
The Richmond Times-Dispatch con-]
trasfa the reluctance of Congress to]
appropriate I.Tjioo for a persident ial |
automobile with ita readiness to set!
?aide some millions for a battleship.
Well, let's see! what particular aid
did the automobile render to Dewey
st Manila or Schtey at Santiago when
these gentlemen went after the na
lion's enemy?
FOE COMES INTO HIS OWN.
One hundred years, and a prophet
Is come unto honor in hia own conn
try. One hundred years, and a panper
poet returns to claim his inheritance.
One hundred yesrs. and the memory
of Edgar Poe is reaping a reluctant
and posthumous recognl-'ion
The story of Poe s life is not with?
out precedent in annals of the world's
history. The records of time arc
blotted with msny tragedies. But sel?
dom has human suffering been exalted
into that monotony of sorrow, into
that final, supreme and never ending
agony cf the soul, into that exquisite,
hopeles* snd heart haunt.ng horror.
over which men of re-ent years have
learned to brood and to wonder ??
representing the btoarsphv of the an
?hor cf The Bells
Thst the life of Pne was marred hy
debauchery is foreign to appreciation
of his writings as purely works of art
For many years it was fashionable :n
smart society to lock upon Pne aa a
social ouU?st-as a soul accurst, as a
rpirit dowered with the very halo of
hell This conception became nnac
cntintaMy popelar.
Apart from 'he sln.ru la r grace snd
beaaty rt thelr composition 'he writ?
ings of Poe are not snore remarkable
for parity of dk-titoa than for rbaetttv
of sa era la. though the beta of the
poet** mantle i?. Indeed, stalaed with
wtne As a yoath he had the reow
tatlca of a reckless) a^aasewter And
upon the heels or auch excesses fell
swift anj black the double night of
poverty and of sorrow. The proud
heart broke under the burden.
The face of the poet was beautiful
through Its very refinement of Inael
lectuullty Mis genuin was early re?
cognized among the masters. In Bos?
ton, where he lectured, he was re?
garded as "the best realization of a
poet In feature, air and manner that
had ever appeared there, the uuu.sual
paleness of who.se face adds to Its as?
pect of melancholy Interest." Tenny?
son called him "the litearry glory of
America."
That jteculiar uncertainty surround?
ing the personality of the poet has
contributed largely to the intense in?
terest of an ever-curious public. His
very name has become the synoiuonym
of mystery. With bated breath we
read cf midnight v igt at smoug the
tombs. Wild-eyed and erratic, home
lets, haunted and deserted, we track
the genuis into the tempest of night
and hear him hold high converse with
the storms. Such Is the common con?
ception of Poe.
The true picture of the poet It,
I would be difficult to present. The
popular composite portraiture is of ai
I dual character, half demon and halt)
tngel, with the satantc nature some
what in the ascendant. Probably tbe|
truest test of Poo's better qualities is
to be found in the implicit faith and
uncompromising confidence bestowed
on him by women?the women a/ho
knew him most intimately. He has
[also been subjected to the test of
time.
That Poo's star has become perma?
nently fixed in the In maimnt of all
literature is <tcday recognized by the
world. Anien a was the last to
awaken to a realization of this truth.
That Euro|>e was prompter and more
just in her exalted estimates of the
true qualities of the great American j
poet is due in large measure to the
prejudice of the New England school
of critics. Swinburne pronounced Poe
the matchless poet of the Western
World. For many years he has been
a classic in France. Today, even
America has turned temporarily from
her worship of the golden calf to place
a cbaplet in loving memory to the
sweetest songster since the days ofj
Keats.

Cleaning Gold Braid.
This is a season of gold braid and
brass buttons. They are expensive
to buy tnd many women may want to
use gold braid they have if it were
only a trifle cleaner.
They may not know how it may be
thoroughly refreshed by pow-dered
bluing mixed with dry bread crumb
This should be sifted over the braid
snd then rubbed with flannel. Aftet
brushing off the crumbs It should be
polished with red velvet. This proc
ess also serves for cleaning gold lac*
