the ever-present dangers Of unconstrained fame
and consequent panic. Stairways have been
widened and all the facilities for hasty exit that
humane ingenuity could suggest are now in
place. but these cannot remedy radically weak
construction nor afford a suficiency Of space in
the many overcrowded rooms Never, until
yesterday. has any one questioned the justice
OF an appropriation which would remove the
murderous conditions and even now there is
not single legislator who has the hardhood to
arise In his place and attack the broad
proposition Of q new and secure structure.
But self-interest Is sometimes more powerful
than the sense of right, and mistaken
loyalty to friends is often weightier than q
semi-torpid conscience. Every Senator and
Representative has undoubted right to
freedom Of speech. opinion and vote, but when
that freedom is used to imperil the lives Of
thousands Of fellow beings there Is assumption
Of a responsibility the Ike Of which few men
can bear EARLY. Some day the people Of this
country will be Mortified by disaster which
will make thousands Of people shudder when
ever the government printing Office Is men
toned. And regrets win then be Of no avail.

1t is extremely MISUNDERSTANDING So
that there is trouble over the alloiments Of

country-declines to make an exhibit because
only 400 square feet have been set apart for its
contribution This insuficiency Of itself
. great grievance, butt was much less annoying
than the fact that the Roman Catholic Church
WAS in possession of 1000 square feet. All the

Today the nation-and especially so much Of
II as resides within the federal territory
thinks q little more than usual of the great his
torical figure on whose patriotism and valor the
foundations Of this government seem to rest.
The lapse Of years has not resulted in any ma
terial change of popular sentiment to the
character Of George Washington; it may be that
the hero seems to be less Of a saint and more Of
q man than was customary IN time past, but
that does him no discredit. The tendency has
been toward highfown eulogy. in which the
orator or historian not unnaturally omitted facts
that would tend TO lower the ideal standard
upon which Washington had been placed by
those who were closely associated with him.
The iconoclast will find. however, little TO dis
turb in connection with the life and achieve
meuts of him who as the father of his country
has living progeny numbering more than
sixty-fve millions of the best-governed people
on the face Of the globe. II is not possible to
detrsct from the glory which surrounds the
name of Washington.

The proposed government printing Office has
started on the same doleful journey which was
Travelled BY the new city post Office, and which
has been recommended by the Senate TO the
proposed public library and to the proposed
District building. Everybody favors such pro-
jccts in the abstract; the owners OF contend
ing sites strange every concrete proposition.
The city post Office hung in the air for years
between the two houses of Congress, because
eseh house had committed itself on the subject
Of site and obstinately adhered to it's decision.
In the case Of the government printing Office the
Senate has announced in effect that Senators
wrangle so fercely over the site question
that not even that single body can agree upon
the matter. and that consequently it will leave
the government printing Office unbuilt. Legis-
lators ought not to play dog-in-the-manger.
But they often do. And il was this fact and
the lesson taught by the doleful experiences of
the city post Office which caused the
people of Washington to regret the Senate
sentiment in respect to the public library and
District building projects Generally speaking,
every one favored the creation Of the library,
but there was opposition to its location in the
only available building at present in sight
library in the admirable idea, but a
library in the city's post Office building was not
TO be thought of. So everybody favored IN
the abstract District building. But it
could not be built upon the market
reservation, set apart long ago by Congress for
the purpose because ladies on their way to
market might be frightened at proximity to and
observation Of the official protectors and pre-
servers OF the public peace. AM because public
sentiment opposed the use Of tho public reser-
vstions for any other purposes than as the
breathing places Of the people and as ineIpen-
s;ve freight-car storage stations and terminal
accommodations TO be charitably bestowed upon
the impoverished steam railroads. Quarters in
the so-csled city post Office building could not
be provided. because Uncle Sam had already
allowed the city the of the ground floor of
Its building and had other use Of his own for
the remaining seven stories. Thus the District
building falls into the category OF prizes to be
fought over by factions Of struggling lot-own-
ers. And in respect to this project also the city
seems doomed 10 DELAY and doubt, and the hope
deferred which rnaketh the heart sick.
