Three of a Kind
Congress ri i cd the pay of itsown members cm the ground thatthe cost of living haa advanced andthat the old wage i not now com-
paratively BO high as when it wasfixed
Congre now arranging to increase the pay of the army andnavy on the same grounds
Both advances are abundantlyjustified But Congress should notforget that the executive depart-ments of the Government as wellthe legislative department and thearmed service have to combat theadvance in the cost of living and acorresponding decrease in a wageiixed thirtynve years ago
The Fleet to Australia-
The full significance of the visitof the American battle fleet to Aus-
tralia instead of Japan seems tobe more fully appreciated in Europethan here The significance of thedelicacies and balances of interna-tional courtesies and attentionsslights and snubs is more
realized in Europe whereevery move has a relation to worldpolitics Because it has had smallneed to study these things theUnited States iant exactly in posi-
tion to realize all that is involvedin the order to the fleet to visitAustralia and tay away fromJapan
Japan knows what it means however It means that the Americanfleet will carry greetings to the twogreat British colonies in which themenace or oriental immigration isregarded as a grave situation Canada and Australia like the UnitedStates are big rich new invitingcountries full of opportunity androom for expansion Japan and therest of the oriental world is beginning to reach out for more landEverywhere the Caucasian entersprotest against the immigration ofthe Asiatic races In Germany castAfrica in the Transvaal in Aus-
tralia New Zealand Canada Caliit is the same
The fleet will be greeted in Aus-
tralia as the earnest of the Unitedtates sympathy with Australiastruggle for a white Australia The
enthusiasm of that greeting will beproportionate to the eagerness ofthe Australian people for assuranceof sympathy and protection Thedemonstration will be a notice toLondon and all Britain that the col-
onies cannot be snubbed in thismatter of their sentiment about themenace of sloppingover orientalism The Japanese alliance is a se-
curity and a convenience to Britainbut the colonies are not to be forgotten
The trip to Australia will be en-
lightening to both Japan and Brit-ain It will do much to assure thepeace of the Pacific for years tocome because it will suggest howstrong are the bonds between thenew AngloSaxon nations whichborder on thp Pacific
The Price of False Economy
Complying with a request fromthe District Commissioners as wellas with its own sense of publicduty the Board of Education hasprepared for the District buildingand Congress a statement of themoney needed to make the publicschools reasonably secure from ireThe estimate does not contemplatethe substitution of fireproof build-ings for structures of timber andplaster although so much mightwell have been covered by thephrase reasonably front
It embraces only these threeitems
Replacing wooden stairways withiron and slate 150000
Building four fourroom and onetwelveroom fireproof building formanual training to replace combus-tible buildings now rented 968060
Installing firealarms providingadditional exits repairing woodwork and other general fire protec-tion 100000
Evidently the rented buildingsused for manual training were se-
gregated from the rented buildingsused for class rooms because thepresence of engines and machineryin the former make Are much morelikely than in the latter With thisunderstanding it would seem theboard has not recommended toomuch Fireproof stairways safeguards ag mst machinery in con-

cautions In the form of firealarms-and wide exits in school houses gen-erally are surely within the reachof the Capital of J he United States
The total ilS000 is large ButCongress must consider it not onlyas a present outlay required for thesafety of our children but as thedirect consequence of appropria-tions made during the pest twentyyears on a scale which makes theexposure of children a sure resultIt is the penalty of niggardlinessThe time hiss come to pay thereckoning Let us whose childrenare in the schools pray it is nottoo late to pity it in money-
In the meantime this reportclears the Board of Education ofresponsibility either for the prac-tice of the past or the possibilityof future consequences It remains-to see what the District Commis-sioners and the two houses at theCapitol will do
A Dream of Rest
Rest rest for the weary MrRockefeller has found refuge andrelief in Augusta Ga far awayfrom the haunt of the octopus andthe lure of the subpoena But it isnot because Wall Street is unpopu-lar with the losers or because theminions of the Napoleonic Bona-parte are personae gratae that therichest of the rich has settled down-in the balmy Georgian environment-
Not at all All the muckrakersand sheriffs look alike to him allmelt under the high temperature ofhis affectionate and paternal natureI like it he says of August his
happy home because the peoplehere treat me as a human
The people dont bother meand I am free from the notorietythat pursues me in other places
Mr Rockefeller is described asthe most democratic guest at the
Hoiel Bon Air Bon Air and de-
bonair proper combination lIemingles with the other guests onthe hotel verandas tells anecdotesplays golf and seems to be leavingan allround good time All ofwhich is truly marvelous Forthough the conversation shouldstart on the weather how can it beprevented from turning to the mystery of the 29000000 or the prob-
lem of how much money the paleand patient plutocrat has earnedwhile breaking his ascetic fast witha humble bowl of crackers andmilk And those anecdotes 1 Howcan they keep off forbidden groundBut possibly the other guests arehired to laugh and keep mum Thetale as it stands today is perfectlyincredible
There will yet be an awakening-and a rapid flight from Augusta toChitngo where the sympatheticBusse has ordered the vaudevillehouses to bar oil king quips andjests or close up There by theshores of the drainage canal is theideal haven of where-a strong mayor vibrant with feel-ing for the under dog keeps jokersard interviewers under his thumb
The New York postmaster whosinglehanded fought and defeated threerobbers nearly kilted one of them andprevented the looting of his office oughtto at least turn up at the expiration ofhis term with a satisfactory record forreappoIntment
The Due de Chaulnes says hes goingto enter the railroad business and makea business career for himself He willdivide IllS time about equally betweenFrance and the United States frontwhich It is gathered that he expects tooperate a railroad across the Atlanticand put the steamship companies ou ofbusiness 4
The folks on Senator La Follettes litlist of 109 men who run the business
of the country are being inttrvte wedabout it Few of them seem disposedto enter any serious denials
Two of the generals in the late Manehurian war fought a duel for pur-pose of deciding which of them wasmost responsible for the lose of PortArthur to the Russians The thatat twenty paces they each ftred fourtimes before either was wounded sug-gests one reason why the Japanese wereable to get away with the town
One of President Roosevelts Indiancallers wore a Roosevelt thIrdterm button which shows that the aboriginalcitizens are not so fearfully slow aboutdiscovering the direction of the wirid
Maybe Senator La Foltotte didnt haveanything to do with the reorganization-of the Aldrich bill but itll be mightyhard to make the Wisconsin halfbreedsbelieve he didnt
Britains first lord of admiralty de-clares that by 1911 the British fleet willfed powerful enough almost to watchthe combined naval strength of theof the world In such a position It wouldbe mighty mean of any challenged na-tion to name armies as the weapons tobe used
It would appear that Governor Cum-mins got the platform but Senator Allaon got the indorsement
