No other oc-i beef was a vile ration tasteless, cuj ant of the presidency, strange as this roay teem to most persons of today, was ever traduced more vio- lently and indecently than was the first man who held that post. Tbilip Freneau, Benjamin Franklin Bache. William Duane aud other editois of of the yellow newspapers of a little over a century ago, abused Washing ton with a vindictireness and persist ence w hich, to persons who read these utterances now, are rather humorous tn their grotesque mendacity. These attacks followed Washington into re tirement, and they were not alto gether stilled even by bis death. Of course Washington's traducers had no more influence on the contempo rary judgment of the Father of bis Country than they Lave bad on the estimate of posterity. The opinion expressed of Washington by such close acquaintances of bis as Hamil ton, Pintkney, Jefferson and Madi son, and of such unptejudiced and capable foreign critics as Chatham, Burke, Frederick the Great and Vergennes, shows the exalted place .lie held in the regard of his contem poraries. Following the deification siagc of Washington's reputation, liewever, vbkh came shortly after the period of his petty detractors, arrived a stage of petty disparagement, which is well expressed in the assertion of Gold win Smith in his history of the United States, that Washington never von a battle. This is the judgment of shallow persons who are unable or unwilling to take into the account the immense difficulties under which Washington woiked, even in the ;Trench and Indian war, when he was - a loyal subject of King GetSrge, and Lelped to drive the French out of the new world and to save North Amer ica for the Anglo-Saxon race. It is .Oinewa to students of that period that if Braddock had paid more heed to the counsel of Washington and re lied less on bis own prejudices against the colonial judgment, the disaster of 375 would not have occurred, and Fort Duquesne, on the site of Pitts iburg, would hitve been taken that year instead of remaining in French hands until 1758, when it was cap tured by the army under the British general, Forbes. That army, accord ing to the British historian, Green, -was "guided and inspired by the cour age of George Washington." The man who, with a small, poorly armed and poorly disciplined array, forced a large British force in 1776 to evacuate Boston, a town open to "the sea, and capable of being defend ed by the navy, of which Howe had many vessels; who crossed the Dela ware on Christmas night of that year and captured 1000 Hessians; who couted the British at Trenton in 1777, and who penned up Cornwallis at Yorktown and captured him, was, even under the most discouraging circumstances, a winner of battles. The British historians of the better class, like Green, Knight and Lecky, give Washington higher praise as a military roan than any of the British commanders in this country at that time, even than Cornwallis, one of the greatest cf the Knglish generals of the eighteenth century. The man who fired the first shot in the war which saved North America to Anglo-Saxon civilization, and who, a dozen ye.irs later, commanded in Che war which put the greater part of 4hat region in control of the younger and more progressive branch of that race, certainly performed deeds which give him a conspicuous place among the great warriors of the world.

Miles is building a strong case be fore the military court of inquiry. ! stringy, deprived of nutriment, and J nauseating. Little doubt remains that it was the worthless pulp re maining after the nutriment had been extracled for sale as beef extract. If beef contractors committed tbat Spanish deed, they should be hanged, because the crime would be nothing less than cold blooded murder. They well knew tbat the troops were des tined to follow the flag into places of great danger and tremendous ex ertion. That it was a matter of life and death to supply them with nu tritious food. They must have known that their stringy pulp would be poison-to a system enfeebled by fever and the exertions of warfare. If it sha'l be clearly proved that contractors extracted the nutri-. tion from beef and sold the offal to the government, to be fed to our soldiers, words will fail to express the indignant and righteous anger of the nation. This point is vastly more import ant than the question whether fresh beef was chemically treated. If beef were treated with chemicals, the pur pose was to preserve it longer, and while the experiment was dangerous, it would be a matter of wrong judg ment and not a deliberate attempt to plunder the government and kill its defenders. This inquiry proved the need of a complete investigation of the entire conduct of the war. The recent in vestigation was a mete pretense. Its true character Is known at home and suspected abroad. No one respects it, or believes Its findings. NEW YORK'S SEW FAD. Now that the horseless carriage is no longer an experiment but a reality in New York, the residents of Gotham are discussing the probability of what they term "autotrucks" tuc- cecding the drays and vans of com merce, says the Spokesman-Review. While New Yorkers have always bad the highest regard for the horse in the Abstract, they are now acquiring a dislike for him because they find that horse traffic and clean asphalt streets are not compatible. They want clean streets and hence they have decided tbat the autotruck is a necessity. They are looking forward to the days when the horse will be seen no more on the streets and are predicting for the era of cleanliness that will be introduced, great things. They have expressed the belief tbat with the advent of that era the clean ly fad will become more popular; thnt men will cease to spit on the floor of street cars and that dust will be a thing almost unknown. All this moves an extremist writing in Har per's Weekly to point out that thor ough cleanliness cannot be secured until the dog is abolished from city life. The horseless truck, the writer nrgues, is a step in the right direction, but the crying needs of the metropo lis is a dogless dog. If this sort of a thing goes on it is difficult to decide where it is going to end. The gentle, yowingcat will fall under the ban next, and then an edict will perhaps go forth against the Italian family, that traditional acme of uncleanlincss. Some of the American Mulays are now shouting gleefully that "the war in the Philippines may lastforyears." This means that they suppose their friends in the islands will be followed into the swamps and bills of the in terior by the Americans, and that they can dodge punishment better than they did around Manila, where they had to fight or abandon their position for good. The American Malays, however, are aiu-taken. Otis will not start out on any guerilla war. I He will ciean out the Filipinos from I the coast town aud the important r,mt (. i:,e interior, oui chase them into marine or ia,.

Tlie copper heads will get no aid or comfort out of the war. The, nickel-in the-slot machine is the cost vicious of all modern forms of gambling, because its invitation is everywhere and a venture costs but a trifle. The saaliness of the stake makes it appear innocent to the large clas of minds easily capable of moral confusion; and many who would de cline a venture at cards on moral grounds see nothing but a joke in "p'avins the machine." The victims of this "play" are to be counted by the tens of thousands, and it is, prob ably, responsible for more deraorali. zation of a cheap but very evil kind than any other single agency now in common use. It is questionable if the public sense of its iniquity is suf ficiently aroused to put a stop to it. True, the legislature has made a law against it; b,t it is doubtful if it can be enforced against a thing that peo ple generally regard as a joke. It was noted at Salera where a nickel machine clinked merrily all day long in the main corridor of the capitol that some of those who supported the Proebstel bill with their votes were among the most devoted patrons of mechanical gambler. Orcgonian. Some of the Spanish prophecies made before the war have come true. It was just one year ago today tbat El Pias of Madrid remarked in the course of a scathing editorial di rected against "the insolent Yankee pigs," that "the war in Cuba will end only when we send an army against the United States." El Pais is to be congratulated upon its clear fore sight. ' WHO CAN VOTE. The Latest Legislation Defining Quallfl i cations of Voter.

The 1'ulqne Mtani Taken by Sis Yonnsr Men to Even tp with a Coquette. There is a young coed at the Univer sity of Chicag-o who has been doing- a ot of thinking lately. Ever since her lebut in the Midway school she has leen one of the most popular girls at the Institution, but unfortunately for herself and several ardent admirers, she ;ontracted a coquettish manner, which caused untold jealousy on the campus. Several of the boys got together one xld afternoon a few days ago and be fore long the conversation turned to the charming young woman in ques tion. Then and there a scheme of re venge wag decided upon by the six. It was in effect that all go and call on the lady the same evening, entering 15 min utes apart, and to regard one another is perfect strangers as well as inter lopers. One of the six described the event as follows: "It was a villainous thing to do, but the girl is somewhat cf a joker herself, and we all had on old score to pay off. We carried out the idea to perfection. I was the first to call and the girl said she was glad to see me. Before she had time to say anything else another young man was ushered in. She was glad to see him. too. But when the third young man arrived the was some what confused and stammered a little over her welcome. Queer Ifonn for Women.
