The District of Columbia is deeply in
debted to those who have given freely of
their time and money that the suffering
poor might be relieved. All the subscrip-
ton books are not yet in, but, as has been
announced in The Star, the amount collect
ed exceeds twelve thousand dollars. The
sum is less than the estimate made when
the work of collecting commenced. but its
comparative smallness Is fully accounted
for by the extraordinary and long contin-
ued financial stringency which still exists
The men and women who labored to can
vass and collect did nobly and are entitled
to much praise. They laid aside business
and social engagements with cheerfulness
and entered upon their voluntary endeavors
with spirit that knew no WEAKNESS until
the respective tasks were done

AS to the real working value of the base
ball team which will represent US in the
league contest during the present year
nothing but that which is purely conjectural
can now be said. but It is lot too early to
make a suggestion to the management as
to the comfort Of a large class of prospect
i've patrons. The majority of those who are
worthy and proud of the title of ball
cranks'' witness the games from the rough
reconstructed and completely exposed ar
rangement known Al the bleaching boards -
Perched on seats that seem to be composed
principally of aggressive and viciously-
barbed splinters, ard unprotected from
either sunshine or storm, are the men and
boys who keep alive the spirit of baseball !;
the baseball leaven of the community; the
people who will uncomplainingly eat cold
dinner six times a week SO long as the
home team does its best. These enthusiasts
are deserving of more consideration than
has yet been given them. The boards on
which they sit should be planed, and over
their heads should be stretched a stout
canvas awning. When that has been done
their cup of happiness will be full to over
flowing and only the umpire will be left
them to kick at.

Unobtrurively, but with considerable real
interest, the householders Of this city have
followed the proceedings Of the investiga-
uen Into the city's gas supply and the
relative cost of the product and it's price
to the consumer. The testimony Of the
disinterested ones who were possessed of
EXPERT knowledge as to gas manufacture
indicated clearly that the illuminant which
Is used in almost every home In Washing
ton could be furnished for less NOR ey than
is now paid for 1t. and that without cut
ting the gas company's profits down to an
unreasonably low figure. In Boston and
in Philadelphia good Illuminating gas is
furnished at the rate of one dollar per
thousand feet, and in several other cities the
price is still lower. Why, then. may 1t
not be probable that in the near future the
Washington Gas-Light Company will sup
ply its patrons with all the gas they need
on the dollar per thousand basis? Gas is
TO longer a luxury; 1t should be supplied
as cheaply as possible. and of as good quail
ity as it surely would be were there two or
three competing companies here.

Economic questions are now, and in this
country, receiving more of attention than
was ever given them in the past. Especial
study Is being made of the problems which
Cause the friction that in most lines of
Industry Is forever superheating the two
millstones-capital and labor. These great
powers-althOugh both essential parts of
the Industrial machine-lack everything that
looks Ike unity of purpose. and as the days
go by the friction increases unreasonable
One of the recent efforts to bring about
better understanding of the situation with
the benefits which would surely accrue to
mankind by reason of the removal of a.
too general misconception of facts is a
paper contributed by Alfred H. Peters to
the Engineering Magazine and dealing with
what Mr.. Peters calls "Labor's delusion
regarding capital" The argument is based
upon the belief prevalent among members
of the laboring class. and more especially
among the organized bodies therein. that
the chief obstacle to their advancement
both material and immaterial. is capital, or
wealth employed in the production Of more
wealth. To overset this popular theory
much argument Is brought to bear; proving
in the main that the belief is without any
other than sandy foundation. 1t Is ad-
mitted that with the complete annihilat ton
of all money the purely capitalist class
those whose incomes are derived from rent.
Interest. or any other return that comes
not through individual efort-would for a
tine cease to be; but no Thoughtful person
VIII contend that capitalists will not appear
a. soon as society commences to reorgan-
iZe.
The brainy man OF practical ideas and
purposeful methods would speedily be SUI
preme while the man who owned nothing
but muscle would toll for his intellectual
superior. A. Alr. Peters s~ys "Agains: this

inequality in social organization no laws or
institutions avail. because 1t In natures
fixed decree that mind shall be the master
and muscle the servant" It IS pertineutly
pointed out that capital has in large meas
ure been often dissipated or destroyed. Ger
many lost almost all its wealth during the
thirty years. war; France was nearly beg
CARED by the revolution and the wars of
the first empire; there was practically no
capital in this country from 17s0 until the
nineteenth century opened up. Yet the
fundamental principles Of social economy
were not shaken; mind subordinated muscle.
Contending that, the only office that capital
performs Is to increase human activity
and productiveness. Mr.. Peters directs at
tention to scrap Of sound doctrine that
ought to be easily comprehended just now.
when labor can find no employment"
says he, ut IL either because capital has
been destroyed. or because intellect falls
out or overreaches Itself. or because thrift
becomes frightened and withdraws Its store
from USE" Comparison of the risks taken
respectively by labor and capital show how
much of safety there Is for the first and
how little for the latter-a phase Of the
question as frequently forgotten as that
in which Is displayed the indisputabls truth
that the creators of capital, from the
savings-bank depositor up to the director
of vast Industries" are commonly sprung
from the laboring class OF society. The
lowly toiler Of today is the capitalist Of to-
morrow. The careful investigator will not
agree with Dir. Peters in his arraignment
of labor organizations-for they are I'M
questionably necessary to wageworkers'
welfare-but all honest men will join in
condemning the wolves in sleeps clothing
who arouse labor's passion for purposes
Of personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT and profit If
capital and labor would only awake to a
realizing sense of their close relationship
and II labor could but see that capital cam
not afford to be and naturally Is not its
enemy how much Of earth's trouble would
be eliminated.

Next Monday is the day set apart, under
the rules, for the consideration, in the
House, Of business presented from the COM
mittee on the District of Columbia, If the
chairman of that committee chooses to de-
mand the day. 1t is suggested that there
are a number of bills pending before the
committee upon which the citizens would
like to have action, and, inasmuch as Con-
gress has been in regular session for seven
weeks, and no District business has been
transacted, the question naturally arises,
is not this good time to begin?

Changes have been made in many Of the

THE WEEK.

At last the House Of Representatives has
taken action on the Hawaiian policy of the
administration and has passed the Nc
Creary resolution denouncing ex-Minister
Stevens and declaring against foreign inter-
ference in Hawaii. The resolution was
passed on Wednesday by vote Of 1T yeas
to 70 nays. Mr.. McCreary tried to get a
vote the day before, but the republicans
refrained from voting and the democrats
failed to muster quorum. Annexation
was defeated by 30 to 155. Minister Willis
was upheld by 1873 to 90, and a motion to
recommit was lost by 81 to 1873. The in
vesttgation by the Senate committee has
been completed and the report sent to the
printer. 1t il thought that the Senate will
not take up the subject until after the tariff
question Is disposed Of. The subcommittee
engaged in framing tariff bill Is expected
to report to the Senate finance committee
on Monday. The committee decided DUR
ing the past week not to have any hearings
on the subject and democrats expect the
tarfn bill to pass the Senate In March. 1t
Is said that sugar and coal will be taxed
and higher tax put on whisky than that
fixed by the Wilson bill The income tax
feature is to be retained. Mr.. Bland on
Thursday succeeded In getting the House
to go into committee Of the whole on his
silver bill. In general terms his bill pro-
vides for the issue of certificates against
the setgniorage on the silver bullion in the
treasury ana the coinage or all the bullion
purchased under the provisions of the Sher-
man act. There are In the treasury 1lO-
699,S53 ounces of silver, which cost the gov
eminent 1926 75S, $50. Its coinage value is
$lSl ,914 98l. Its market value Is $97 oI2.
Mr. Bland desires first the issue of certif-
Gates against this 55,0OO,OOO of seigniofage
and holds that the bullion would be coined
as fast as the certificates were issued. The
debate on Senator Stewards resolution
holding that the Secretary Of the Treasury
has no right to issue bonds except for pur-
poses Of redemption and that no such ext
gency exists now. was debated in the
Senate. 1t Will be voted on next Monday.
The repeal Of the federal election laws was
accomplished by the Senate on Wednesday
and the President signed the bill the next
day. The bill passed the House on October
H. The vote was party one, with the ex-
ceptlon that Senator Stewart, republican,
voted with the democrats, as did the three
populist Senators. The wreck of the his

occurred at Omaha and Savannah. Some
excitement was caused at Manassas, Va,
over the report OF a movement to lynch
two colored rapists, but Gov. OFerrall
called out an Alexandria militia company
ana the prisoners were protected. One was
convicted and the other will be tried on
Monday. Reports of reviving industries
continue to come in.
