The Senate and Dollar Gns.

The Sens te has adopted the report of the
Senate District committee on the House
proposition to compel the Washington Gas
light Company to sell gas at the rate of
81 per thousand feet. The senatorial idea
is that S1.15 per thousand should be the
present rate, the reduction to 81 being
gradual and occupying a period of five
years The problem Is once more in the
hands of the House and is likely to occupy
the attention of that body once or twice
before the solution is reached. There will
doubtless be much reviewing of testimony,
expert and otherwise, both in conference
and in public debate, and out of it all
may come the desire of the popular heart
good gas at q fair price.
1t will be we'll if the conferees pay par
ticular attention to Senator Thurston's dis
section in yesterdays debate of the gas
company'S balance sheet, as giving prac-
teal proof of the corporations ability to
furnish dollar gas at 4 fair profit The
Senator from Nebraska knows a balance
sheet when he sees one-as chief counsel
for some of the biggest and most compli-
Gated railroad corporations in the country
he has had much to do with their construc-
tion-so it is worthy of note that he said:

the dead or disabled firemen.

An unanswered question has just been
put by the University Courier, which is
the official organ of The University of
pennsylvania. The query is: Are we COM
ing to the realization that there has been
an abnormal tendency to make athletics
the whole rather than part of the whole
of student life The Courier's editor re-
Trains from definite comment but his very
unC ertainty is testimony that can be used
by those who are of the opinion that col
leSe athletics have really gone too far.
The Courier notes mat
"A decade or two since, interest began
to flag in the more Intellectual means OF
recreation and amusement, and with the
wane OF the literary societies came the
rise of athletics. Interest in athletics grew
both among the colleges and the public till
the daily press teemed with columns OF the
doinSs of the athlete. The college was lost
sight OF in the eager gaze turned toward
the college athlete, and colleges became
famous not for their scholars, but for their
foot ball players"
When a college paper inolines as does
this journal We may reasonably expect a
renewal of warm debate on college ath-
letics; it will probably make it's appear
ance between the baseball and the foot
ball seasons.

national wisdom is Responsible. Arbitrarily.
and through constitutional provision. the
nation has declared that Congress shall
have exclusive power of legislation in re-
spect to the national capital. That declara-
ton meant. Of course, that the work Of gov
eminent would be performed in a manner
not oppressive to those governed and cred
liable to the governing power. 1t meant
that Congress would take upon it's own
shoulders burdens such as are ordinarily
borne by boards of aldermen and common
councils. 1t meant that Senators and Rep
resentatives-and especially those who were
detailed to duty as members of the District
and appropriations committees would act
as representatives of the people resident
here, even Of the Chronic grumbers and
kickers." and would deal by Washington as
justly and as patiently as they would by
those communities where the ballot -four
ishes and is potent. Many legislators have
toiled hard in endeavorng to do what they
believed would be for the best interests of
the District-among them Senator Gal
llnger-and many have suffered as the Sen
ator has undoubtedly suffered. But the
Senator from New Hampshire should not
permit his WEAKNESS to stir up epithetic
wrath. A year ago the esteemed Sem
ator was in close communion with the
chronic grumblers and kickers'' on the
subject of dollar gas; he was counted as one
OF their most doughty champions and would
have been regarded the last man likely
to turn upon them and rend them. Today
the Senator is no longer a believer in dollar
gas. He has honestly exercised a personal
prerogative. which none will deny him. AS
result of listening for few minutes to an
expert and professional witness, and of at
taching more weight to that character of
evidence than the rest of us are inclined to
do. he has changed his mind. Surely the
Senator is tnconsiderate in dealing severely
with his old associates on the gas question
the chronic grumblers and kickers'-be-
cause they cannot change their minds as
rapidly as he has, and because they con-
tinue to think as he and they did last year,
Tor the reasons so conclusively stated by
Senators Thurston, Kyle and George.
