Isn't ' It about time to bring Kittle Elklns' engagement and Castro's army Into tbo limelight again ? Senator Hey burn of Idaho made Sen < ator Root laugb. It was Mr. Root's first loosening up In four years. "The Irish people are tbo happiest In tbo world , " says a returned tourist , Tbo Irish people have no congress. The administration of affairs in the national pure food department al Washington appears to have beer adulterated. Corsets arc not to bo fashionable this winter , 'tis said.

The big trusts should not be al lowed to split up into competing com panics merely by drawing chalk line ; across tbo floors of their offices. W. J.

Many people arc fr mlllar with bis famous rules wb know nothing about the laws of tb United States. A Texas editor refers to Senate Bailey as "our squandegous states man. " Whatever that may be , I sounds like what a lot of people thin of Senator Bailey. Old army nurses are easier to fln than survivors of the battle of Bu ! Run. Either nursing induces longe\ ity or the nurses started in business n a very early age. There are rumors of mi Ice famln In Alaska and Siberia. Reports froi the government steamer Bear , by wirt less , are to the effect that there is n Ice in Bering Sea or on the shores c Alaska or Siberia. What will the p < lar bears do ? V Dr. Wiley predicts that with ! twelve years smoking and tobacc chewing in public will have become ol eolete. The doctor will find that i this prognostication he is not eve as accurate as old Hicks in his weatl er predictions. Lena Porter Uyeno , a former Mil nesotn school teacher who married Jap in Seattle in 1010 , is suing for divorce. Any white woman wno ha no more respect for herself than t marry ono of those russet colorc runts should bo refused a divorce. Tbo public condemns newspaper n porters that listen at key holes an bribe servants , and then buys th newspapers that pursue people Ilk Col. Aster and Miss Force with thes methods. The working people generally favc arbitration. They have little use fc paying war taxes and giving up thel boys as soldiers because some pol ticlan thought a war would make good election Issue.

" The whole Moroccan business on ho German aide reads much like the , uxembourg business on the part of ho French emperor , Napoleon III , and Ids fair to end the same way. To hrenton war with no intention of nuking war If the bluff Is called Is i'rctchcd diplomacy. Prof. John M. Woodso of Cambridge says that a twelve-cent breakfast Is ho only meal needed In twenty-four tours by literary men. If this is true t makes the literary profession more possible than had been supposed. Still some literary men lack the twelve cents at the time that breakfast Is Inc. President Taft Is a master of ideas. That is bis realm. He is not a schem- ng politician. Since the president ceased to coddle ambitious men in congress and to work for the great measures in which he so thoroughly jelieves , directly with the people , ho has grown measurably stronger with them. Americans are drinking less coffee than formerly , at least there has been a constant decline In the importations of coffee for several years. On the other band , the Importations of tea and cocoa have steadily Increased particularly cocoa , of which the con sumption now surpasses that of tea , in the United States. A minister In Chicago complains be cause the women of his congregation pay $5 for a pair of silk stockings and drop pennies In the collection to make up for their extravagance. He also admits that the cause of bis complaint is that ho can't marry the woman ol his choice on the pennies the women drop In the collection box. Tbo British board of trade has in vestlgated the relative cost of living in America and England , and reports that food and rent combined Is 52 per cent higher In America than In Eng land or Wales , but to offset it tbo av erage working man in America re ceives more than two and a quartei times as great wages as the Englhl : or Welch working man. The tourist travel Is by no means all one way. Every year the wcstwart bound travel across the Atlantic In creases , and tourist agencies in Lon don say this season will see more Europeans In this country than evei before. They are slowly becoming convinced that there are a few things in Uncle Sam's domain that are wort ! the attention of old and cultured Eu rope. The Japanese take to Amerlcnr baseball in a remarkably clever way Our national game has made more con quests in Japan than in any otbei country. They are not as good batters tors as some of our teams , but in base running and field work they are for mldablo antagonists for our nines The Chinese are far Inferior to tbeli brother orientals , but they are improv Ing , and they , too , take kindly to tin favorite American game. La Follette and Underwood wantec to get credit for the revision that al agree must come soon. The prestden checkmated them. While the demo cratlc and insurgent politicians hae supreme confidence in their own judg ment as to the best way to cut dowi the schedules , President Taft , wh ( knows politicians quite thoroughly , Is convinced that the judgment of exper tariff students is far more reliabli than that of men who are playing fo power and the presidency. Many things can happen within i period of twenty years and it does no lie with anyone to dispute the marvelous volous possibilities in every line o endeavor that may bo brought to ; fruition within the limit of a score o years. But the prediction of Claudi Graham-White , the English aviatoi that within that time , airships l.OOi feet long with wings of steel able ti carry 1,000 passengers and make tin trip from England to New York in fll feen hours , 200 miles an hour , sound much like a fairy tale. Yet strange things have happened in the last twen ty years than the fulfillment of till ; prophecy. The testimony of the late Senate William P. Frye , who for more thai forty years so ably represented tin state of Maine in the national con greas , Is refreshing , in an age wbei the prevalent idea Is that the pursul of wealth Is the main business of life Ho might have amassed a largo for tune in the practice of his professloi had he been willing to have servec some large corporate interest but hi chose instead , to glvo his services t < the nation. Before he died , speaklni to some of his friends about bis career reor , ho said : "I would not exchangi my life for any monetary considera tlon. if I could go back and knov that a million awaited mo at the law 1 would not care to do It. I should prefer to do Just what I have done. 1 think more of the honors that have come and the confidence that has been loposed In mo than I do of money. " The American people are not ready to sco their government go Into the railroad and mining business , aa baa been suggested In connection with the Alaskan development. It la true that tbo to\eminent ; la building Panama canal and la operating the Panama railroad. But the work of piercing the Isthmus Is a gigantic public work of so costly and dllllcult a description that private capital would not under' take It. And the strategic military purpose of the canal , which makes it a necessity , oven If It does not pay a profit , puts tbo whole project on ti different footing than the Alaskan ox- ploltatlon. THAT NEW SWITCH TRACK. The ordinance granting a franchise to tbo Union Pacific railroad to build a track down tbo alley between Braascb and Norfolk avenues , from Fifth to First streets , should bo verj carefully drawn so that the Interests of the public arc properly safeguarded The News believes that , on the whole , tbo track Is a desirable propo sltlon. There will bo certain draw backs to it , but there will , on the othei hand , bo big advantages and The News believes the advantages con sldorably offset the disadvantages ol the proposition. But for one thing , the city snoule require the railroad to lay the rails ow in tbo ground so that they do noi rise above the earth , and then plan ! every inch of the way between the rails , just as close to the rails as B possible. This Is one way In whicl the inconvenience of the track can be reduced. A highly profitable venture to tlx promoters was cut short the othei day In Now York when three fellows were arrested by secret service men convicted of using the mails to defraud fraud , and cast into the dungeons o tUlanta federal prison. Their special ty was "wireless" stock and tin means which they utilized to adver Use It consisted of circular letter ! sent through the mails to all parts o the country. They sat in their Nev York onice day by day and while twc of them were kept busy opening letters tors and taking care of the mone : which they contained , the third prc pared and mailed the circulars whicl brought it in. Thousands of dollar ! flowed Into their treasury for stocl in a company which was non-existen the suckers were falling over om another fn their eagerness to grasp ! proposition which would make then Independenly rich in a short time. Tin brainless dupca of course got left an < lost their money , but they got wha they deserved. The country , it seems , accepts ( In president's judgment that there wane no public exigency which demandei action in August , just as it accept his Implied promise that in Decembe there will be a reduction of the du ties. Nobody knows officially wha the tariff board has found regardlm the wool schedule but that It wll bring In a report recommending sut stantlal reductions , is generally ac copied. The democrats will thei claim , no doubt , that the board's re commendations are the same thing a their bill , and that all the preslden has done is to save the over-protectei woolen Industry for a few month more. But there is a difference be tween a bill hastily put together am passed by partisan force , and on based on the scientific findings of non-partisan board. The latter wil command the confidence of the cour try and none will be able to mak much headway against passing ii Thus the president will have cor trlbuted to the elimination of the tai iff from politics , for if both partie accept a wool bill proposed by th board , the people will demand tha this body be given a regular standin and wide powers. KEEP DOWN THE DUST. The National Association for th Study and Prevention of Tuberculosi baa. Just issued a warning against th dangers of dust , showing that the pel centage of deaths in the dusty trade is more than double that of all me employed in other trades. The United States government ai pointed a committee to act In co-oj oration with the state authorities 1 making an investigation Into the met , " mining industries especially. But It i not in these employments alone thn disease lurks. Dust Is a menace t life and health In the street , in th factory and in the house. It is especially to the latter that a tentlon should be called as it is with ! the province of the homekeepers t do much to change conditions here b simple means and a little care. Th association warns against dry sweei Ing and the use of the feather duste which scatters but does not take u the dust. Open windows and more fresh al are the great and sure panacea fo health in factory , schoolhouse an dwelling. They cannot be emphasize too much. NORFOLK AVENUE'S CHANCE. Only a few more signatures ar needed on the West Norfolk n\enu ; paving petition to make It effective o few , In fact , that it hardly aeonia osslblo the enterprise of property wners on that street will allow the novoment to fall by default. It won't bo long , of course , before bis paving movement la going to proud to all parts of Norfolk. That ort of progress la Inevitable In a trowing city of Norfolk's prospects. York , ' Neb. , and Grand Inland and "rollout and other cities of this clasa n the atate already hu\o many times S'orfolk'a paving mileage and Norfolk Hii't doing Itself Justice not to keep ip with the procession. This } IB too good a town to trail along in the roar on public enterprise. And eventually , ho pining will come In splto of every- lilng. Hut there's no time like the present 'or public Improvement. A few more signatures on that petition would In sure the paving early next sprint and would glvo impetus to other public mprovement. It would instill n now spirit In Norfolk , and \\ould begot con- Idence In tbo town's future. Hesitation on the part of the main residence avenue of the city , in the natter of paving , baa a depressing effect upon the whole community. Aa the principal thoroughfare of the city , Norfolk avenue owea it to the town to set the pace , now that the chance s at hand. HARR1MAN LINE CONTROVERSY. Labor leaders attempting to bring about n strike on the Hatrlman sys tem of railroads , have chosen an ex ceedingly Inopportune moment , it would appear to the disinterested ob server , to involve those lines In a labor controversy. Business with the Union Pacific has been bad for months , so bad that heavy retrench ment nas only recently been an nounced. The principal demand of the labor leaders that the employer deal with a federation composed of all classes of employes , instead of with Individual crafts is one which the railroad of ficials declare to be grossly unfair and unjust , not only to the railroads butte to the public at large. They point out that a controversy In ono shop might , by reason of this federation scheme , paralyze the entire Ilarrlman system of railroads , thus working great hard ship upon the public. The further de mand that no man could retain em ployment unless bo belonged to this federation ; and that the railroad would have no right to look up a man's standing , either physically , morally eras as to efficiency ; and that no man could be discharged without consent of a committee of fellow-employes these demands and others seem so outrageously unreasonable that the railroad officials feel they would bet ter turn their system into the hands of receivers than to grant them. The public always suffers from a s' ' ite , and the public will hope thai the men may not go out. The Harriman - man system has always paid its men unusually well and many of the em ployes believe in letting well enough alone , It is said. ATWOOD'S GREAT FEAT. The astonishing success of Harrj Atwood in breaking the aviation long distance flight by bis journey from St Louis to New York , makes many ol the "dip of death" circus stunts look pale. pale.Tho The marvellous thing about Atwood is that ho learned to fly only last May at the Wright school , where he took eighteen lessons. Before that month bad expired be had flown 120 miles In practice flights at the Atlantic aviation meet. Many a man lacks the courage to enter some ordinary employment in which ho will be perfectly safe phys ically , where the worst that can hap pen is the loss of a job. until ho has spent some years in preparation for technical perfection. Yet the aviator walks out of a ma chine shop , an automobile garage or a circus tent some day , takes a few les sons in flying , and risks his neck witl entire unconcern. The more than twc score of fatalities already recorded must be largely due to the fact that every aviator In the world , speaking on the basis of the experience requiree in other callings , is still a green hand at the business. Certainly they must get warning , enough of the perils of their craft dur ing their preliminary lessons , as the average aeroplane breakage occurring In teaching a man to fly Is said to cost $2,000 to repair. Over In cautious Europe they spend more time in practice at regular av iation schools. But they seem to turn about as many aeroplanes into kind lig wood as over here. In situations of great peril , the quick thinking American , oven if ovei rash , is perhaps safer than a more cautious personality. What creates ac cidents is lack of presence of mind The man who can snap his fingers al death Is the man who can repel the buffets of the hurricane with the same self possession as ho would brush off a fly. The cautious man , who wltli keener foresight sees the true peril in nil its horror , finds his nerves too par alyzed to act. A sort of opera bouffe war has brok en out over a proposition to erect n monument to Dante , the great Italian poet , In some inconspicuous locality on Manhattan island. The plan has been launched by tbo publisher of a prom inent Italian newspaper published not far from the Now York city hall and i number of wealthy Italians hero and In sunny Italy. Funds were collected , : ho monument , executed by a noted Italian sculptor In Florence and cast in bronze , purchased , and arrange ments were made to have the work of art shipped to Now York to bo pie- seated to tbo municipality. Hut there ? arc several Italian newspapers In Now York nail the editors and publishers of the other papers worn not Inclined to remain quiet and allow their rival to uet all the glory and advertising ie- suiting from the presentation of this gift. The donors or rather the pros pective donors of the statue , for tbo pipsontntlon Is not as yet an accom plished fact , did not display great dip lomatic tact and laid themselves open to a great deal of criticism. In their desire to make the gift as prominent aa possible , they overshot tbo nimk by advocating tbo erection of tbo mon ument on Times Square , which is about the most unsuitable spot that could bo selected for a Dante inonii ment. Phis suggestion has aroused a perfect storm of protests not only from the rival Italian papers , but from the public In general. At present the plans arc in confusion and there Is oven the possibility that the munici pal art committee may decline to ac cept the monument. WANTED MORE HOUSES. Ono way for people owning vacant lots in Norfolk to realize returns on their investment , Instead of contin ually paying taxes without Income , would be to build modern cottages upon those houses , to rent. There is a tremendous demand for modern dwellings In the city a de mand that cannot near bo satisfied at the present time. Dozens of people are looking for homes in Norfolk , with out success. The News knows of n great many Instances where people who want to move to this city right now , are prevented from doing so by tbo fact that there Is not a bouse to bo bad. That condition speaks well for Nor folk's prosperity , but not very well for Its enterprise in providing places to live for people who would become Nor folk citizens if they only wore given a chance. There is no use trying to bring more people to town if the men now living here , owning capital and property , are unwilling to risk investment in houses that the newcomers could llvo in. Few prospective citizens care to buy at first. They want to try the town a while , to see how they like it. Clearly enough , then , it's up to Norfolk prop erty owners who have the money or tha credit , to provide houses to live In if they desire the city to grow. It's about reached the limit until a number of new modern houses , or apartment houses , are built. , With the demand there is for dwell ings at this time , It would look to the ordinary eye as If such an investment ought to be counted a mighty deslr- able one. Incidentally , it might be added that tbo same famine that exists in dwell ing houses , also exists In business buildings. CHINESE STUDENTS CONFER. The majority of our readers would be vastly surprised if they could drop In some day on the sessions of the Chinese student conference now being held nt Princeton , N. J. The American impression of John Chinaman is derived almost solely from the laundryman , who shuffles along the streets in his wide trousers with the silence and furtlveness of the Oriental. The type of Chinese stu dents that one sees at any of our largo universities Is as different from this as the ordinary Harvard university boy Is from the average Polish farm hand just over from Russia's plains. Nearly all the laundrymen come from the most struggling class of la borers in a few provinces of China. The students are mostly the sons of wealthy merchants and are backed by plenty of money. Consequently the Chinese student Is very much of a dandy. He spends money lavishly on our choicest tailors. He has Epicurean supper parties at elite restaurants where he touches el bows with the dross coated Smart Set. He is physically as clean a type of manhood as you could find outside a manicurist's parlor. Every hair is brushed into its proper setting , the sharp creases of his trousers are di rect from the tailor's iron. With this marked dudlshness , there goes , as is not common with Amer ican youth , an intense seriousness in work. The Chinese studeift Is not an athlete. He came to this country not to knock little balls In the air , but to take back rich cargoes of American scientific learning to make his country young again. And so while his American class mates are running bases and sitting in hammocks at the summer hotels , John Chinaman , bachelor of science , Is readIng - Ing solemn papers at the Princeton conference , on modern learning. His auditors listen Intently , seated In sol emn rows , where they took their places on the second that the clock marked the hour. In spite of the fact that they have wealthy fathers at home , these boys work like ditch diggers. They com bine culture and Industry , two quali ties which when united carry a man very far. THE UNEMPLOYED. The annual convention of the Un employed , booked next week for Wash ington , \\lll provoke tbo contemptuous Biieer from the prosperous cltl/eit that all thi'so men could find work If the > wanted It. One thousand members , It Is an nouneed , are to walk front Baltimore to Washington ( o attend. The fake sldo of unemployment Is HiiKKented by the recent remark rred- Ited to the manager of the leading employment house In Chicago : "No able bodied man need want work more than n abort time. 10very day In the year I have applications for men that simply go to waste because I can't 1111 thorn. Ninety per cent of the un employed don't want to work. " 11. C. Marsh , secretary of the Penn sylvania Society to Protect Children , recently studied IIS "unemployed men. " Ho found that 1H ( ! bad given up one or more jobs In alx months. Employment was secured for it I , but only six of these men stuck to their work. Forty-flvo men , when they learned that work was being sought for them , auddenly disappeared. Mr. Marsh put on old clothes ono day and tramped the streets looking for work. Ho was offered 10 jobs. The starting of public enterprises for the purpose of furnishing employ ment Is not wholly a success. An English report on such an institution states that men would glvo up Jobs paying 20 shillings per week to take public jobs for tbo unemployed pay ing 5 to 7 shillings a week for part time. The above , however , is not the wbolo picture. The number of people who have been physically enfeebled by child labor Is far greater than wo suppose. A host of men 25 to 30 years old find all their vitality sapped by the strain of toil at an ago when they should have been at school and veget ating in tbo open nir. Who can blame thorn If their blood flows cold and pale , If they have no heart for the industry that cheers tbo normal man. Nuremberg , Germany , and many other European cities make it ihcir regular policy to construct public works In periods when many 'men arc out of work. In our country , when an appropriation Is secured , wo are too much In a hurry to wait for a time of general unemployment. Besides , in our grafting and shifty politics , the funds might not bo available at a later date. The more centralized cities or the continent are in better diinpc t'J pursue that far reaching policy ol economy and humanity. AROUND TOWN. Wish The News would cut out that twenty year ago column. Makes a fellow feel old to read about some ol those things that happened , It seems like , only day before yesterday. Nc wonder we're getting thin-haired and grey and round shouldered and out of the notion of dancing. Speaking of twenty years ago , though , reminds us that THOSE were the days when they caught the fish , These fish yarns by N. A. R. and W. F , II. and I. & M. would fade away if we could only remember distinctly some of the big catches we used to make , with Mish Leavitt , at Horse Shoe lake , or Ole Low's , or down below the dam. Those were real fishing days , those wore away back there , twenty years ago. But speaking of twenty years ago and flsh stories , what ever became of John O'Llcey ? Does anybody know ? If this frosty air keeps up , you'll have to begin draining the radiator at night. They say they've got a scheme to do away with burning coal in the fur nace a scheme to do away with ashes. And when they talk like that , take it from us , wo begin to get ex cited. A reader says the o. f. boy who smoked buggy whip , has been discov ered. He's smoking cigarettes now. The knee length kind are getting pretty doggon cold for these mornings , You don't know what real worry is unless you live in constant fear that your weak ankles are going to turn over and sprain. One trouble with these little savings banks for the children , the key to which Is held by the banker down town , is that you can't get into the children' savings to borrow money to pay the butter woman with. An anxious reader wants to know what time of day the "Around Towns" are written. Answer : /From 9:13 : to 9:17 : a. m. P. S. We won't print anybody's re mark that that's too much time wasted out of every twenty-four hours. And besides , we could retort that so long as we draw down $400 a week for four minutes' work a day , what matters ? School days are near at hand , and it won't bo but a little while till the foot ball season ends on Thanksgiving day and then there comes Christmas rush ing In , nnd you haven't got a single present ready. So hurry up , and do your shopping c y. There's Just one woman we know of who has any Christmas things ready , nnd she lives at West Point. Probably thorp hasn't been any thing to do In West Point since last Christmas , except to get ready Tor next Clnistmas. Now we see our chances for Thanks giving dinner this year , shattered nil to smithereens. SATURDAY NIGHT iERMONS BY REK SAMUEL THE HANGING OF THE CKANE.

Mrs. Bill Mnrkham , the grass - widow ow , said yesterday , "My dears , mar riage Is micb a lottery ! " la it ? Yes , it Is if you mean the uncertainty of how life's partners will turn out. In tbo grand drawing nro prizes and blanks , with this difference. In cash lotteries there are ninny blanks , few prizes. In marriage < lon't sneer , ye. cynics tbo order Is reversed. The marriage gumo would bo less a gamble If thcro were more honesty before marriage. Each sees the other only occasionally. Each Is dressed nt bust , acts nt bust. Eacb puts "best foot forward. " Then the Illusion of love draws a veil of heroism about the man and of other worldllncss about tbo girl. The man has all the strong , masterfulness of manhood ! the woman has the lure of n pretty face , an enticing form and nil the artful possibilities of modern dress.

And she , re peating tbo same vow , reaches Into the same grab bag , hoping as she takes him by faith to draw n capital prize.
