New Year Calls.

The change in the social customs which
has allowed The old time observance of
New Year day to gradually fall into dis
use has its disadvantages as well as its
compensations. 1t is noted with regret by
those VINO formerly made the round of the
houses of their friends on the first day OF
the year as well as by those who were the
hostesses that now there are some of their
acquaintance they hardly see from one
years end to another. While the abuse of
the generous hospitality Of the day owing
largely to the widening out Of the social
circle as Washington advanced to the posi-
ton of one of the greatest cities OF the
country, led to the giving up of this Gus
tom. still one feature of the day that is
now recalled with special regret is the op-
portunity afforded those whom circum-
stances had kept apart to come together
on this occasion and exchange friendly
greetings. This loss has not yet been made

Congress will reconvene tomorrow and
the House and Senate will enter upon a
busy session, In which important local in
terests will be involved The first business
Of interest to the District will be final ac-
ton upon the railway grade crossing bills.
The present status of the bills requires the
Senate committee on the District of Column
bia to make the next move. which probably
will be to report the bills to the Senate
with a recommendation of non-concurrence
in the amendments of the House, to result
in a conference. Unfortunately, it is not
within the province of the conferees to
deal with the feature Of the Baltimore and
Ohio bill most Objectionable to the citizens.

Ohio Railroad Company. That item was in
the original bill, has not been amended and
therefore is not subject to consideration by
the conference committee.
The conferees. however. can give con-
sderation to the claims Of the citizens OF
lexington. with respect to the proposed To-
cation Of the railway roundhouse in the VI
entity of valuable residence property. The
Senate recognized the validity of the claims
of the lexington home owners and directed
the location of the roundhouse at point
where it would not become an alleged nui-
Sance to the people who had invested their
earnings in homes. The railway company
induced the House to believe that the de-
mands of the railway service necessitated
the location of the roundhOuse nearer the
residence property. The suggestion was
made that the differences could be ad-
justed in conference. The citizens of Eek
ington are justified in expecting the Sen
ate to insist that consideration shall be
given them
All residents will welcome early action
upon the grade crossing bills if the railway
companies intend to commence operations

posed changes. The work is stupendous.

already been too much delay. The grade
crossings cannot be abolished too soon for

The retirement of Theodore Roosevelt
from the Office of governor of New York
recalls the prediction of his enemies when
he took up It's responsibilities That he
would fail. and fail signally. they had no
doubt. They quoted his temperament, which
alone, as they believed. would wreck him in
a place 80 high and so exacting. They
lied upon his ambition, which would be
certain to lead him into errors and excuses.
He would attempt too much. He would be
impatient about results. He would try for
the spectacular rather than the practical
and attainable, and accomplish nothing but
his own undoing. The books are now closed,
and this prediction stands as completely
discredited as that of Mr. Bryan about
silver and wheat. Gov. Roosevelt comes
out with flying colors. His administration
has been a success. The break with Mr..
Plat did not occur. The subserviency to
Mr. Platt did not materiafize In the main

The Army Bill.

There should be no delay by the Senate
in considering and passing upon the army
bill. 1t is a very important measure. In
a certain sense indeed it is the most i'm
portant measure now in the hands Of that
body. In other cases delay may be irritat-
ing and, the friends of such measures
may believe unjust, but in this case delay
might work great injury to the country.
1t might seriously embarrass the admin
istration in carrying out a policy upon
which the people at the polls have voted ap-
pIovingly.
There is as much warrant for this army
legislation as for the proposed reduction OF
the taxes. Both We're decreed at the
November election. The administrations
course in the Philippines Endorsed. AMI
with that Endorsement went a decree for
continuation of that policy upon lines OF
economy and advantage to this government.
This army bill is the fruit of an expert
and official examination of the subject.
There grounds for differences of opin-
ion to Details but there could be no ex-
cuse for defeating all legislation because
of that fact The differences developed
ought not to be difficult of adjustment,
and earnest effort toward adjustment
will certainly be crowned with success.
The sDook of Imperialism is no longer
held aloft. Men VINO FOR campaign pur-
poses pretended to shudder at the menace
of an increase in the size of the army have
recovered from their theatrical exhibition
with laugh. and seem to he snug and COM
Portable enough now. The republic still
lives. That We need a large force for
new duties is conceded. and that Congress
should make the proper provision in the
premises is equally plain. Temporzng
with such a subject would in the circum-
stances be grave mistake. What Is neces-
sary should be done at once, and done
thoroughly. Why carry along by piece
meal arrangements which call for imme-
date and adequate execution?
The House acted with commendable
promptness. and the discussion in the main
was in a good vein. The friends of tie
measure presented the subject frankly and
yet conservatlvely. while the opposition
was neither captious nor obstructive. 1t
was recognized majority measure fair
ly entitled to consideration and so it was
debated and passed. There is no good rea-
son why this excellent example should not
be followed by the Senate now that the
Seuate's turn has come to tackle the ques-

the enemy that in striking at the bottom

sands of my cOuntrymen envying me the
distinction of this hour. They would take,

source, and strive. as 1 did. to faithfully

That the murderer of Baron Won Ketteler
deserved his fate Is open to no question.
But the execution of a million such crea-
lures would not avail as much so far as
the future Is concerned, as putting an end
to such influences as have for several years
dominated the affairs of China in her rela-
tons with the outside world.

close his term as Vice President shorn of
prestige and without hope for the future.
1t is not to be denied that the coming
three years here will prove severer test
than have the past two at Albany. The ini-
tiative has Its perils, but It has also Its
advantages. Initiative attaches to the gov
ernorship of New York. and it does not at
tach to the vice presidency Of the United
States. Nevertheless, Washington Is the
national field. and IL Gov. Roosevelt has
promotion in midland presumably he has
why not?-he will have occasion to watch
the corners here for advantages with wide
open eyes. Without patronage to bestow.
without opportunity to lead in legislation,
or shape 1t, his place will be largely one of
mere observation and inaction. But he is
a man of resources, and he may disappoint
his enemies in the one case as he has I'M
doubleday done in the other.

the recent anniversary celebration of the

regard the former Secretary Of the Treas
