The new law creating the children's
board Of guardians for the District has not
been IN operation long enough TO fully DEM
onstrate the truth Of all that was claimed
for II when IL was proposed. but the ex-
satisfactory.
The board reports that there is now no
occasion for the courts to send a single
child properly chargeable upon the District
To any private charitable institution for
care or support. The government has es-
tablished an agency Of its own. competent
20 care for every such child. and as mat
ter Of fact. since the courts have had the
authority they have thrown the whole bur
den OF the support of such children upon
the board The board has established
friendly relations with all the institutions
with which ii has come in contact. 1t has
offered To cooperate with them all. and it
now asks that the whole appropriation for
the support Of the dependent children
Chargsable TO the District be made to it,
that its resources may be commensurate
with the responsibilities.
The system promoted BY the board of
placing children in homes Is advocated as
securing the best results not only in the
lion OF the number Of dependent children
The board will begin a new year with its
organization perfected and well prepared
TO get the best results out of the money
that may be granted for an object which
appeals so strongly to every good and phil
anthropic heart.

Assessor Trimble's proposition to permit
taxpayers 10 postpone the payment Of the
mstallment OF District taxes due in Nov-m-
Der until the second installment is due next
May, renting all penalties for non-pay-
ment. is worthy Of careful consideration
The withdrawal from circulation in the
District in November OF million and a
half Of money would certainly not help to
improve the financial situation and the
government would receive no special bere-
II by having that sum locked up in the
treasury Coupled with this proposition
however. Mr.. Trimble makes another that
seems calculated TO defeat the very object
he has In view. and that is that a dis
count Of 10 per centum be allowed on all
taxes paid in November. In other words a
premium is offered to taxpayers 70 settle
their bills in November. a premium so high
That no one who could command the money
would care TO lose it. The result il both
Mr. Trimble's recommendations were an

that instead OF a general deferment of pay
ments, there would be an unusual effort

were in great need OF funds there wouli be

The eyes Of the country were on Mr.. Voor-
hees today. His place at the head of the
finance committee OF the Senate. and with
his position In his party. gave more than
ordinary importance to his utterances on
the question now before the Senate. 1t Is
not surprising then that Mr.. Voorhees,.
knowing the interest with which his speech
was awaited. went beyond the absolute re-
qUirements of the occasion, which would
have been satisfied with an argument in
favor OF repeal to utter sentiments pleas
ing to elements In the west upon whose
favor or hostility much in Mr.. Voorhees,
political future may depend. To resist slIch
a temptation would be more perhaps than
could be asked Of any public man. These.
however. are at present but sentiments.
and the sincerest advocates of the national
banking system or Of other institutions
which he assails. will condone his rhetorical
bunkUm at their expense. since he has
placed himself boldly and squarely on the
side of repeal. first of all things. His re-
marks on this subject had a patriotic ring.
The solid character of the national credit
was a theme which inspired him to elo-
quence. and the prosperity which awaits
the nation when Congress has performed
its duty. afforded him opportunity for
well rounded peroration. Mr.. voorhees, In
the course OF his speech gave some ex-
Ceesiingly sensible advice to the silver men.
pointing out that restoration Of silver to
its proper place in our money system would
eventually be the best thing even for them
The people of the country who have been

sitIons not included in the pending bill.

Only Vicious yaportng.
From the New York Tribune.

Fatuous and criminally minded derna-
gogres and reckless seekers after notoriety
have often before row attempted to push
the working people of New York into deeds
Of wicked violence and disorder. The effort
now making to this end In the case of
those who either suffering from want,
because OF their enforced idleness, or are
fearing that suffering will come because
OF the Industrial depression, is not novel
and will not succeed. 1t will fail because
the agitators who are seeking to magnify
the sufferings of the people have no practi-
cal remedy to which they can point those
whom they would lead into lawbreaking
Their advice Is only vicious vaporinR.
