No more important task has recently de-
yclyed upon the District authorities than
the preparation Of plan for the proposed
extension of streets. More than a hun
dred years ago the plan of the city as it
exists today was devised by L'Enfant the
engineer. and approved by George Wash
ington, by Thomas Jefferson and by Con-
gress. The verdict Of those who dwell here
today is that the extremely difficult task
was performed with remarkable skill, suf-
fcient provision having been made for the
future growth and greatness Of the ma
tion's capital. The map printed in The
Star Saturday makes it evident that the
broad nberality Of the capital founders
has had powerful influence upon the formu-
lation Of plans for the greater Washington
In a general way Congress indicated the
lines which the work Of extension should
follow. but the law providing for the
preparation of the street extension map
conferred large discretionary powers upon
the District Commissioners, and had those

Locally, the Fifty-third Congress did bet
ter than 1t did nationally, and, although
its sins of omission are many, it would be
the recipient of applause had It dealt as
well by the country as 1t has by the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Urged to favorable
action by District officials, by the Board Of
Trade and by other representatives of the
great interests involved, both ths House
and Senate have devoted to District affairs
considerable time and attention; not so
much as should have been given, but
nevertheless SO much that to refuse to
recognize the fact would be ungrateful.
Several measures Of real merit were con-
spicuously neglected. but in view of the
liberal treatment accorded the important
measures that did go through, 1t is but
proper to give credit for the good and to
say as little as possible Of the disappoint-
ments and of the evil. A large proportion
Of local legislation has come through the
appropriation bills, and it Is in the later Of
those measures that evidence Of desire to
deal fairly Is conspicuously present. Pro-
vision has been made for increasing the
height of the dam at Great Falls. thus
rendering unlikely anything like the gem
eral water famine which in the absence of
such provision seemed certain. The public
school system-in great need Of buildings
will not be stunted in its growth, for the
Senate compelled the House to deal justly
by the children of the District Ind insisted
on sufficient appropriations. To be sure,
there was inaction in the matter of street.
extension and a proper system of sewers,
but the Fifty-fourth Congress will be likely
to remedy that notable shortcoming, which
was by no means unexpected. Taken alto
gether, the Fffty-third Congress might
locally have done much worse.

Few residents of Washington are entirely
without interest in the illumination of
streets and homes, and quite a large pro-
portion Of the population must be con-
cerned as to telephone rates. Special COM
mittees of the Board of Trade are now tn
gagged In investigating local conditions and
prices and have requested all citizens pos
sessed of ideas and facts pertinent to the
lines Of inquiry mentioned to put them on
record in writing and forward them to the
secretary Of the board. The Investigations
promise to be thorough, and in order that
none of the elements of fairness may be
lacking all persons who have any informa-
tion as to the subjects referred to should
hasten to place it in the hands of the ap-
prcpriate committee.

Cuba's most recent rebellion appears to
be a more serious affair than it at first
promised to be, for were 1t of no more i'm
portance than Spanish officials on duty in
Cuba said it was. it is not likely that the
Spanish government would send to the
island several thousand soldiers to re-
inforce the large garrisons already sta
toned there. Probably the present out
break will not result in changing Cuba's
form of government, but it is certain that
so long as the struggle between the
Cubans and the Spaniards continues the
sympathy Of the people OF the United
States will be with the Cubans-in their
aspirations and efforts for independence,

After being almost continually in session
during its lifetime, the Fifty-third Con-
gress today ceased to be, and Is now
subject upon which any person SO inclined
may hold an inquest. That many of the
Investigators will find reason for declaring
the remains to be in healthy condition
is not likely, for from representatives OF
all the parties and Of all the factions that
would like to be parties comes condemna-
ton of the most violent sort. In this land
Of free speech and strong party spirit par
tisan outbursts are common, so there
would be nothing strange in abuse of the
Fifty-third Congress by republicans. The
President, the Senate and the House were
all democratic and were therefore targets
for political opponents. But 1t Is not from
republican sources that the bitterest cr1ti-
cism comes; the most violent vituperatlon
has its origin in places where nothing but
democratic doctrine is supposed to dwell.
Having failed therefore to satisfy those
who are convinced that their confidence
was misplaced, the Fifty-third Congress
may fairly be denomlnated failure iVhen
1t came into power it was confronted by a
delicate situation that to be successfully
dealt with demanded the exercise Of great
governmental skill. and this, unfortunately,
it did not seem to possess. OF opinion it
had great diversity, of theory plethora,
and of partisan rancor a most disagreeable
opulence. 1t sought first to legislate as to
the tariff, many of the leaders being con-
scientiously fixed in their belief that with
a reduction Of import duties would come
great increase of industry and phenomenal
inpouring of wealth. The situation, how
ever, failed to improve; in fact it became
worse with such startling rapidity as to
convince many even of the theorists that
1t was the national financial policy that
needed attention much more than the mere
tariff question. In this revised opinion
there was general concurrence, but neither
argument nor abuse could move Congress
to take any kind of decisive action, so that
today the credit of the country can be
maintained only through the wasteful bond
issue policy that the President has been
compelled to adopt. Unless the President
should call the Fifty-fourth Congress into
extra session there will have to be addi-
tional bond issues, and each of these will
be monumental reminder of the incapac-
ity Of the Fiftythird Congress- congress
whose claim to notoriety rests principally
upon its having legislated into existence
the populistic income tax.

Some people have strange ideas as to
the uses to which the United States gov
eminent may be put. A passing stranger
from the northern Pacific coast has been
quoted as saying that residents of United
States territory in the vicinity of Puget
Sound have been much disturbed Of late
by earthquake shocks. He furthermore
said that the folks out in that region were
seriously considering a proposition to re-
quest Congress to make an appropriation
which shall be spent for scientific investi-
cation into the causes of earthquakes and
the possible effects Of those earth move
ments. Just what remedies would be ap-
piled Is unknown, but to the casual and
unscientif1c observer of passing events-in
which category earthquakes may properly
be included-it appears as though no real
relief can come to the inhabitants of the
countries where earthquakes are common
until flying machines become effective and
cheap. Shaken and shivering people out in
Oregon and Washington had better organ
fze in behalf Of governmental encourage
ment of aereonautical invention.

A Damaged Garment.

A Damaged Garment.
Sweet Charity fingered where Congress had
been,
And her mantle she struggled to spread
DER the scene;
But the wrap was deficient In width and in
length;
The task was too great for her wit or her
strength.
For this mantle of Charity had, be 1t
known,
Been used till all threadbare and weak it
had grown,
And the rents here and there only served
to reveal
More plainly the faults it was sought to
conceal.
And Charity wept as she saw brought to
view
A sad sugar job and scandal or two,
With many remarks much too warm to
repeat,
And a wreckage of promises sadly COM
plete.
And she murmured, "'Twill take lots of
patching and care
Ere this mantle is ever again fit to wear"
