Mr.. Cannon.

1t is all over but the shouting. and that
promises to be of a particularly generous
character. Mr.. Cannon no longer has even
the semblauce of opposition, and the
speakership of the next House is virtually
decided. The republican party and the
country are to be congratulated on the
settlement of so important question so
long in advance of the day for formal
choice. Had the question remained open
and field of strong candidates been busy
the effect might have been noticeable on
the work of this Congress, and later. on
the work of the next. But Mr.. Cannon has
won easily, and will take office without
pledge of any kind except to serve the pub
lies interests, in the post second in i'm
portance only to the presidency itself. His
congressional experience has been large.
His abilities are solid and sturdy, rather
than snowy. His personal integrity Is very
far above the slightest question. He should
make a good record in the Speakers chair,
and doubtless will

The North Carolina Election.

In speaking of the Lily White move
ment in North Carolina, Senator Pritchard
said Monday to a representative of The
Star:
That we were right in our action is
shown by the vote in the November cleo
ever known in the state. Despite the dis
REIMBURSEMENT of 125, 900 negro votes, which
the democrats adnait had always been cast
with the republicans, the democratic ma
jority in the state month ago was only
$1,000. about the same as when the negroes
were voting"
This is very frank Mr.. Pritchard was a
candidate for reelection to the Senate, and
everything was subordinated to his efforts
to win votes. The negro vote, which had
twice sent him to the Senate, was no longer
available. 1t no longer existed The demo-
Gratis, against his protest had eliminated
it from the equation. He had taken issue
with them as to the proposition that the
negro vote was a menace to good govern
ment. But having been unable to save the
vote and finding it necessary now, if he re-
manned in the race for the Senate, to turn
elsewhere for support he made play for
white votes on the strength of the prejudice
against the negro he had just been COM
ba ting. He secured few-although he was
never seriously in the running-and now
he points to those votes as justifying his
adoption of the lilly white line of action.
Mr.. Pritchard Is convinced he was right
because he found a few men willing to vote
for him who would not have done so had
he not come around and declared against
the negro himself.
The President stands where Mr.. Prit chard
formerly stood. He holds that where the
negro is competent and worthy to partici
pate in affairs he is entitled to do SO, and
that 1t is wrong to deny him his rights.
He refuses. therefore, to fndorse a move
ment, or even tolerate it, so far as his Of
fetal actions go, which has for its con-
fessed object the drawing of the color line
in our politics. The lilly whites have no
friend in the White House, and are not
likely to figure in affairs to any great
extent.
If it were possible, however, for the south
to be completely changed politically by this
movement. the justice of the proposition to
reduce her representation in the national
House TO conform to her voting strength
would remain, and deserve to be pressed.
1t is not partisan proposition, but relates
wholly to the exercise of strength In ma
tional affairs which the south by her own
action has forfeited. She has no right to
shut the negro out in local affairs and yet
count him in when she votes in national
affairs. The Constitution forbids it, and
the principles of everyday fair dealing for
bid it. Why not support the Constitution
in this as in other matters?

Government by a Fraction.

From the New York World.
The World has noted the t-avesty of pop
ular government in South Carolina, where
at the recent election less than 40.0G0 votes
were cast in a state having more than $780,
900 men of voting age.
The showing in Louisiana was even worse.
The gulf state has 325, 900 citizens of voting
age, yet the total vote cast on November 4
was only %, 265, of which %, 21S were demo-
cratic and 4.O47 republican. The Times
Democrat puts it in another way in saying
that about one out of six of the persons
who can vote under the constitutional pro-
visions took the trouble to pay their poll
tax, get registered, go to the polls and ca st
their ballots" The negroes, something less
than half the population, are of course for
the most part disfranchised.
Here is a state having six representatives
in Congress elected by 22,21S voters-the re-
publican candidates getting on an avera ge
only 51S votes each. There re several sep
arate congressional districts in this city
that cast more votes than were polled In the
entire state of Louisiana This Is state
government neither republican in form nor
democratic in fact.

The fuel famine. the price of food and the
approach of that season when much out-of-
door work must be suspended compel the
conclusion that the local charity organiza-
lions must grid themselves for great en-
deavor that they may cope with the dis
tressing conditions which threaten the poor
Of the District. These conditions are not
remote; they impend. 1t Is the moral duty
as well as the civic duty of the more paos-
porous, more fortunate, or the more
thrifty, members of the community to hold
up the hands Of the charity organizations
and to maintain them In the highest de-
gree OF efficiency. 1t Is well to remember
that man cannot shirk a moral duty with
out danger to himself nor civic duty with
out setting an example dangerous to his
city. To sustain charity association at its
highest degree Of efficiency means in plain
English to provide 1t with all the money
which II can 1udiciously invest for the relief
and comfort of poyerty-strIcken children.

good in Its way But 1t Is not extensive
enough. 1t lacks system. 1t depends too
much on whim and too little on method.

More Policemen.

The Commissioners appeal to Congress
for additions to the police force Is given
especial point just now by the reports of
crimes against property and upon the person
which are being filed at headquarters Sew
eral daylight robberies have occurred and
despite the capture and Imprisonment of a
pair of youthful housebreakers to whom
was traced a series of offenses the burglar
les continue. This is despite extraordinary
efforts on the part of the police officials to
cover the territory more fully than is usual
under the ordinary regulations, at a mater.
ial sacrifice of the policemen's rest
The truth Is that the District is not suffi-
Cieutly patroled and will not be until sew
eral score of men have been added to the
force. The outlying regions, practically
urban in character despite the fact that
they lie beyond the legal boundary, Florida
avenue, require even more close watching
than the center OF the city. Indeed there is
little security anywhere under existing
conditions, efficient and well-managed
though the force is at it stands
The statistics which the Commissioners
submit in their annual report show how
badly Washington Is served in this particu-
lar when compared with other cities. The
comparison is based upon the acreage of the
N-tAtS anu lIle lOldl tuSlN Oh the TeSpec-
tive forces. The Commissioners did not
carry the computation to its most striking
stage by averaging the acreage covered by
each policeman in the cities named. When
this is done the necessity of Immediate ad-
ditions to the local police establishment be-
comes glaringly apparent. Dividing the
number of acres by the number of police
men gives the area which each man is re-
Quired to cover. The result runs thus
Boston, 10 acres to the policeman: Balti-
more. u acres: Greater New York, p acres
Jersey City, % acres; St Louis, 81 acres
Buffalo. 30 acres; Detroit, 35 acres; Louis
vile. 80 acres; Cincinnati, Al acres; Chi
cago, ~ acres; Milwaukee, Al acres: Pitts
burg, A acres; Cleveland, co acres and
Washington, 50 acres Thus 1t appears that
the average Washington policeman is re-
quired to cover four times as much terri
tory as the average Baltimore patrolnan
Considering the vast governmental values
contained within this area 1t appears con-
clusiVely that the District should be given
an Increase without further delay.

Congress and the Message.

Comment in Congress on the President
message is of the usual kind. Those In
political agreement with the author praise
it, while those in opposition respectfully
criticise Il. Here and there is a note of
independence, but on neither side Is it ag-
gressive.
The message. upon the whole, Is conserva-
tive, but 1t by no means gives a cue for
inaction. There is call to duty in 1t, loud
enough and clear enough to be heard and
understood by everybody disposed to do
something. The trusts are with US, and
some of them have demonstrated the dam
ger that turks in unrestrained giant conbi-
nations of capital The tariff schedules
have worked such wonders that revision is
fairly the subject of discussion. Reciproc-
ity is really an old theme. We not only
have been talking about it for years, but
now and then have had it in highly graf
flying operation. The President deals with
all three subjects, and Congress in some
manner should make response.
Let IT be admitted that at present there is
wide diversity of opinion as to what should
be done. Why should that discourage any
body? If anything, ii shows that those who
are charged with the conduct of public af
fairs thinking seriously about their du-
ties and aow to meet them. They are
trained thinkers. Many of them are law
yers of high grade, and. surely strengthen
ing the Sherman antitrust law is not be-
yord their powers. Others are thoroughly
well informed on the subject of the tariff,
can hold their own with experts, have
assisted in the preparation of tariff bills,
and have passed upon a number of reci-
procity treaties. Is there any good reason
why limited tariff revision undertaken by
such men should cause a panic, or even
serious uneasiness IN business circles?
But at every turn is encountered this
question: What can be done with topics so
important in three months? Who knows
what he can do until he tries? Why not try
to do something? Start the ball rolling.
Suppose but little is accomplished at this
session. That little might point the way
to more notable things. The next Congress
will legislate on the eve of a presidential
election, and the republican party will have
to go before the country on it's record.
What shall the record be? Standing pat?
Marking time? Unwillingness to grapple
with confessed evils through fear of conse-
quences? No political party ever won
national contest on a record of evasion and
timidity

Is said Of the fact that until Congress thus
violated its own laws and broke the pledge
of capital partnership without specifically
repeating the statute the District had
raised more than enough tax revenue to
meet Its half of the cost Of the local ad-
