Those WashingtonianS who may imagine
that because the District bond bill has not
yet been acted upon by the Senate it is
defunct MEASURE should comfort them
selves with knowledge of the f.tct that very
few of the friends of the bill ever enter
tair ell the belief that ii would become law
during the present session. With so much
of broadly national business clamorlng for
consideration, in a short session, 1T was only
the most remote possibility that any local
measure of importance-other than the Dis
trict appropriation bill-could get through
both houses. 1t may be that some will re-
gard the attendance at the evening session
as o display of the bills strength in the
Senate. but any calculation based upon
that attendance will surely be mislead-
ing. There Is hardly any legislative propo-
sition before Congress-no matter how far
reaching its influence or how important Its
provisions-that could tempt from their
homes and other places. of social resort a
quorum of Senators. The vote upon hold
ing the evening session Is much better
Indication OF the feeling of the Senate on
the subject of these improvements, and no
doubt Is entertained concerning the favor
able attitude of the Upper House in dealing
with the measure in the next Congress.

Elsewhere IN The Star correspondent,
who accepts taxation instead of manhood
as the proper basis of representation in
certain municipal affairs, SO enIarges by
definition the scope of the word taxpayer
that substantially all men fall within this
category. But il justice demands that the
contributors to fund shall direct its ex-
penCitture, IL also demands that the weight
OF a contributors opinion as to the proper
method of distributing the fund shall de-
pend to some extent upon the amount of
his contribution. IL, for instance, a man
who does not know that he is among these
contributors, but who can possibly be dem
onstrated to be such unintentionally in an
tnfinitesimal amount by a course OF alb
struse reasoning, Is put upon an equality
with the largest contributor in the dts
tribution of the fund there is obviously as
gross violation of the principle of just

II is likely that even the more critical of
Washingtonians will be reasonably well
satisfied, all things considered, with the
District appropriation bill as it comes from
the conference committee; for while 1t
fails to make provision for some very de-
sirable things 1T cannot be alleged that
anything absolutely essential has been
omitted. Looking at the matter from q
purely business standpoint, some of the
omissions are not easily to be excused. for
the damage that will be wrought by delay
will amount to very much more than the
interest the government has to pay for the
money il borrows; but if the national icgis-
lature Is satisfied that it's policy Is the
best, then those for whom it legislates
must, perforce, be content. One most well
come feature of the bill is that which deals
with the collection and disposal of gar
bage, for which extremely important work
sum that should be sufficient has been
set aside. AT present the garbage is care
lessly collected and improperly disposed of;
the reform provided for in the bill Is in ac-
cord with the best ideas of those who have
devoted much attention to the study of The
garbage problem.

Sam. who contributes one-half OF the local
municipal fund, to have no moro to say
concerning Its expenditure than the alleged
and unconscious taxpayer whose sole con-
tribution to the fund may Be q dollar fine
paid for some petty orense to the police
court.
1t Is not. however. necessary for The Star
to devote any considerable amount of space
at this time to discussion OF the details OF
the model representative form Of financial.
municipal administration. All that The
Star has claimed Is that the expenditure or
the Districts revenues, which Is necessarily
in any case In conformity with the will
Of those who contribute more than half
of the municipal fund. Is made more
nearly on the basis Of just and American
representation than the expenditures In
many of our other large cities. where the
municipal purse has been seized by nom
taxpayers through mere force of numbers,
where the blessing Of universal suffrage
has by misapplication to concerns to which
1t was never intended to apply been con-
verified into a curse, where enormous and
paralyzing Indebtedness has been con-
tracted through universal suffrage against
the will of the taxpayers. and the proceeds
wasted or stolen. in the corruption which
has seemed the inevitable result of the In
lection of partisan machine politics into
municipal affairs.
Only through a constitutional amend
ment can representation be obtained by
Washir gto.ians in these matters Of gov
eminent which concern them as men AID
Americans. and in respect to which moth
ing short of unlimited suffrage can be de-
Tended. But the present agitation does not
aim at a constitutional amendment. For
Westinghouse who justly complain OF
inertia and indifference in Congress. their
municipal government. to clamor for the
actively destructive misgovernment which
curses other large American cities, is to
initiate the frogs in the fable, who deposed
King Log on account OF his inertness and
crowned King Stork, who straightway de-
voured them.

Advices received by The Star from Pres
fdent John c. Shortall of the Illinois HUI
name Society and from President c. NJ.
Stocking of the Minneapolis Humane So
ciety state that, mainly by reason of the
concerted action Of the two societies, the
proposed pony race from that city to Chi
cago has. for the present, at least, been
abandoned. Prompted to more than COM
mon interest in the proposed competition
by the Washington Humane Society-which
In it's turn received inspiration from edi-
torial comment and suggestion In The Star
tho Illinois and Minneapolis societies de-
termined to stop the contest, which had
been arranged to take place two weeks ago,
and they succeeded, through the disorderly
conduct of the men who were going to ride
in the race; the disorder resulting in the
riders arrest and iii the selling Of the
ponies and their equipments to raise money
with which to pay the fines. Thus ended
the second attempt to start long-distance
horse-racing in this country. The first eff
fort was made in correction with the
Worlds Fair - Chadron, Neb., being the
starting point and Chicago the terminus.
Such a race, Of itself, was entirely legal so
the humane societies having jurisdiction in
the states through which the cowboys and
their steeds had to go settled down to see
that the useless contest was devoid of any
thing that looked like cruelty. In this work
the Illinois society was most active, and to
it belongs the credit of so hampering the
movement as to make application of the
term race" simply farcical. AT the outset
1t was evidently the intention of all, or
nearly all. the riders to push their steeds
to the utmost limit but before the brutal
design had opportunity to do much more
than get fairly under way there came the
interference of humane law. Such compe-
titions as those referred to cannot possibly
achieve any useful results; cannot reveal
any unknown truth worth knowing; they
deserve nothing else than failure.

That is very interesting dispatch from

the means Of communication have i'm
proved there is no reason why American
athletes should not meet the Greeks in
their own arena and prove to the assem-

able of doing many things that would have
been regarded as surprising even by the
spectators in an era which glorified
physical development 1t is to be hoped
that those who are responsible for the
preserve so much of the old rules as may
be necessary to subdue the intense pro-
fessionalism which has wrought so much
injury to athletics in this and in other
countries of late. Nowadays 1t takes big
sum of money or very valuable prize OF
the sort readily convertible into cash to
induce many of those who excel physically
to take part In athletic contests. Some
times conauerors in the ancient games were
exempted from public taxes. but a rule
the Greeks were satisfied with wreaths of
the sacred olive, with promise Of eulogistic
poetry and a marble statue when mighty
deeds were done and an assurance that the
victor should never be forgotten by his
countrymen. How many Americans are
likely to be tempted by such inducements?
