PENNY-WISE ECONOMY.
Mrs. John Lane, Girding, in an Eng
lish interview, at the false economies
of her sex, relates the story of "a
woman of massive intellect" who sav
ed sevenpence by going to the subur
ban wilds of Shepherd's Bush to buy
Brussels sprouts, and in the process
so exhausted her energies that it took
several days of rest and a fashionable
physician to restore her. The type is
not unknown in America. Countless
indigestions are acquired by shopping
all day in a department store, lunch
ing meanwhile on the free food of the
demonstration counters. The expo
nents or such economy are precisely
the women who endure miserable
weeks of rapid-fire servants rather
than give one of them an extra after
noon off, or extend to her the liberty
These men appeared as
link with a great past.
To people of imagination and sensi
bility their mere presence there to
gether was an inspired teaching that
told of the mighty crisis of the civil
war ,the saving of the Union, the un
precedented growth and glory of the
nation after a reunion that has made
all sections one in a much truer sense
than was ever possible before the trial
of arms.
Probably the desire of the veterans
to march is very largely explained by
their own loyalty to the observance
as a kind of symbolism, and we may
be sure that the ceremony will not be
abandoned except under the pressure
of extreme necessity. But the pathetic
aspects of the case become more con
spicuous every year. It is plain that
the exertion taxes the strength of
many of the participants almost be
yond endurance. It is plain, also,
when comparisons are extended to
the past, that we are dealing with a
mere fraction of what was once the
Grand Army of the Republic. And
not only are the ranks greatly di
minished but the years are counting
now against men far beyond their
prime. Such is the record from one
meeting to another that the thoughts
of the veterans must be more and
more fixed on time's remorseless
changes and the splendid host that
has gone before. Chicago Record

A PROPER CRITICISM.
THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATION
The New York Insurance investi
gation has started out right. That is.
it has begun by bringing out certain
important facts without any appar
ent favor or discrimination as between
the big life companies toward which
public interest is directed.
it is certainly a desirable fact to
make plain at the beginning of the
investigation that the management of
the great companies is self-perpetuat
ing and that their policy-holders in
the memory of man have never active
ly intervened to shift the control un
der any circumstances. It is not that
this is news to observers of the insur
ance methods, but that it is a funda
mental truth. It establishes a point
from which all proposals of legisla
tion must set out. The laws should,
of course, provide for the greatest
possible freedom on the part of the
policy-holders in controlling the man
agement, and should make sure that
full and exact information about com
pany affairs is always at the policy
holder's command, But they should
go further than this and provide nnh-
iift control over the management, just
as li no control Dy the policy-holders
was poSlble, either theoretically or
practically.
The facts about the manv hieh sal
aries paid by the big companies and
the nepotism shown in the distribu
tion of the fat places are old, but they
are as unpleasant reading as ever.
The investigating committee will
doubtless have difficulty in suggest
ing legislation by which adequate pay
for the officials burdened with the con
servation of the huge properties of
the companies can be granted and at
the same time . unnecessary salaries
to favorites can be prevented. Per
haps if a way can be found to hit at
the system of high commissions and
of rivalry for "bigness" the source of
the spirit of wastefulness will have
been reached. -Exchange.

A pair of two-legged brutes are
scheduled to hammer each other to a
finish at San Francisco this afternoon
for one of the largest purses that has
been hung up in many years. There
are the usual predictions that crooked
work may be expected, and unless
there is more money to be made by
playing fair, the rumors will probab
ly be confirmed. Several centuries of
civilization have not served to eradi
cate from the mind of man the desire
to witness the infliction of physical
pain on his fellow-man. Men who are
lacking the advantages of education
and breeding feel this desire much
stronger than those who have lived in
a higher civilization. For this reason
the slugging match today will attract
as select an audience of plugguglies
and all-round bad men as has ever
gathered around a. ringside. Sand
wiched in with them, cheek by jowl,
will be found a number of prominent
men who stand so high in the affairs
of commerce and state that their
names will be carefully withheld from
the list of those present. It is but
fair to the Bat Mastersons and others
of their ilk to state that their high
toned friends will enjoy the "mill"
equally with the bad men from the
country's numerous Bitter Creeks.

the man likely to receive the appoint
ment as federal judge for Oregon.
Judge Bean of the State Supreme
Court seemed to be assured of the
place a few weeks ago, but for some
reason President Kooseveit nas not
acted, and that is now interpreted to
show that he is not looking favorable
to Judge Bean, but is looking for an
other man. McBride has the support
of Senator Fulton and other leading
politicians and his many friends are
very hoperul oi his selection. ine
Judge is very popular in this county
and his friends will regret to lose him,
even to go -to the federal bench. For

THE MARCHING OF THE GRAND
ARMY.
Reports from the Grand Army En
campment at Denver tell the expected
story of the annual parade. Many
veterans could not join the proces
sion; others who made the start drop
ped out before the marching was over.
There were, however, some 15,000 in
line, which is a large number for any
description of street parade.
It was large enough to make an im
pression from size alone, and of course
the emotional interest that was ex
cited was extraordinary. No one
could gaze upon the line without hav
ing a keener realization of the coun-
The fact that so many of our child
ren of school age are not getting a full
common school education is a seri
ous matter; far more serious than the
size of our navy or the Panama Canal
or even the wordy campaigns of our
trust-busters. But it is not so seri
ous as it would be, were the school
only, or even the chief, source of ed
ucation nowadays.
Like all large words, education is
at once full and empty of meaning.
And lamentably, often it is as near
to a perfect vacuum as the efforts of
men can induce Nature to tolerate.
The very air we both young and old
breathe nowadays is surcharged
with the materials of education. And
whether we go to school or not, we
absorb and assimilate at an early age
more valuable knowledge than the
most learned could acquire a hun
dred years ago. The function of the
school, high and low, is to teach, as
it were, the mind to breathe properly,
to draw in the right materials and to
assimilate them thoroughly. And un
less our children whose parents are
ignorant or worse still, chock full of
silly prejudices go to school, they
are more liable to grow up with what
they absorb doing them a minimum
of good and much harm. Exchange.

asa has been destroyed by fire and the
explosion of her magazine causing the
loss of 599 lives .including men of other
ships who went to the rescue. The fire
started from an unknown cause at mid
night on Sunday night, September 10.
Before the officers could be. rescued the
fire reached the after magazine, which
exploded, blowing a hole in the port side
of the vessel below the water line and
causing the ship to sink. An investiga

cause of the fire.

Japanese flagship also suffered the most
