a Home for the New Depa rtment

Inc mai passage of the Department of
commerce bill. with the practical certainty
mat 1t will be signed by the President
within a few days. suggests that Congress
should lose no time in preparing for the
erection OF home for this important a,ldi-
ton To the executive machinery of the gov

Tor several months. But it will be anom-
alous and observation-disclosures for the b,ro,rs
comprising II 10 remain long scattered
among the various departments OF which
most of them have for so MANY wears
formed part. 1t is certain that in the
course OF year at the outside there will
DC an urgent demand for separate struc-
ture not alone for the sake of the dignity
OF the new department but for the con-
venience of both the officials and of the
public.
Experience proves that several years must
elapse between the initial appropriation for
and the completion of public building. 1t

The Department Of Commerce.

The government has urgent need of the
department which Congress has just
created. We have commerce now on a
large and rapidly increasing scale. Its reg
ulation calls for the most careful attention.
On every hand We see the necessity of
gathering under one supervision the bu-
reaus that deal with matters of this kind.
Public interests generally will be promoted
by it. Public sentiment generally has re-
corded itself in favor of the step taken.
Only here and there has been heard a
note of protest. There are a few people
who insist that we already have too many
departments. They would lop off the Agri-
cultural Department. upon the allegation
that 1t really serves no useful purpose.
They exercise their wit on that, and declare
that the distribution of seeds which never
come up. and the printing Of stock books
which nobody reads. constitute that depart
ments work. 1t is not difficult to point out,
however, how cheap this sort of talk Is,
or to appreciate how overwhelming the OBJ
lection must be from all agricultural inter-
ests were the proposition to be advanced
seriously to end the existence of a depart-
ment which In so many ways has justified
its creation.
Quite as speedily too and as thoroughly
is the Department of Commerce certain to
JUSTIFY the Judgment which has called 1t
INTO being. The congressional debates have
outlined the scope and nature of Its labors
and the country approves. 1t is only neces-
sary that those iabors be intelligently in
augurated to put the department securely
on its feet.
There is assurance to this end in the
character of the man who is to be assigned
to the work. His growth has been rapid,
but all who have observed it testify to its
substantial character. Only a few years
ago he held modest place in the Post
once Department His services there at
tracted attention. and he was advanced
strictly according to his deserts. Fortu-
nateiy for him he was called to the White
House. and from that day his fortune was
made. Having been faithful over a few
things he Is to be placed over many things. |
lie knows public men, and has had excep-

Cortelyou, who has graduated in less than
a decade from stenographer's desk to a |

Lincoln Day,

Aoraham hncoln was born ninety-fo,1r
years ago today. On this occasion there ia
no public ceremonial, as there is on the
anniversary or the birth of Washington.
Dun IN the hearts of an annually increa sing
NUMBER or Americans there throbs feeling
OF pride and love for the man who stood
supreme IN the hour of the nations gravest
peril Rapidly this sentiment is spreading
through the south, as the people there real
lie the greatness and humanity and
strength of Lincoln's character. 1t is not
100 much to believe that eventually Lincoln
day, despite the disinclination to multiply
the holidays, will be marked from end to
end OF the United States as one of the most
significant days of the whole national CAL
endar.
But no formal observance of the occasion
with the conventional methods of celebra-
'ion. is necessary to cause the lesson Lin
coin taught to sink deeply into the national
consciousness. His writings can be read in
the home and the school with especial sig
nincance on this anniversary They are
nlieo With gems Of thought and expression.
Their patriotism and craftsmanship can be
appreciated today in all parts of the coun-
Try without prejudice, for they breathe the
principles which the south has manfully
accepted as settled by the great struggle
NO surer quickening impulse can be given
10 the admiration Of Lincolns manhood and
his greatness than by a reading of his
famous Gettysburg address," which. de-
spite its brevity. is today rated as one of
the masterpieces of national literature of
an ages. 1t has taken place with the
foundations OF the republic, and the day
should not be permitted to close without its
reading In every American household.

The President and the Race Issue.

General Basil Duke of Kentucky Is 6
gold democrat, and supported Mr.. Mckin
ley both in 1896 and in 1900. He is likewise
a distinguished ex-confederate and an ex
slave owner. He has as thorough knowi'
edge of the southern situation and as ful
sympathy with the southern people as any
other citizen of his section While taking
a keen interest in politics, he is neither an
office holder nor an office seeker. He has de-
clined Office. He prefers private life. His
soul is his own. and he has the courage of
his convictions. He stands by what he
says. and when he speaks he usually COM
mands and is worthy of, attention.
General Duke was a speaker Monday
night at the banquet given by the Washing
ton Alumni Association Of the University of
Virginia. and responded to the toast "The
President" He might have INDUCED simply
in some stereotyped politenesses. There
was indeed inducement to do that in
the fact that the great majority of his
hearers were opposed to the President polit-
ically. But he did the very opposite thing.
He touched upon questions Of the hour, and
upon the most delicate of those questions.
He defended the President from the charge
of having revived the race issue, and went
into particulars to show how Mr.. Roosevelt
in his appointments to Office has been the
President of the whole people and been gov
erned by the traditions and the principles
of his party. And the report Of the festivi
ties states that at the close of his remarks
General Duke was applauded.
This was the frank and timely thing to
do. General Duke speaks his praise while
the subject Of it is alive to hear and to en-
joy. And there are many others who with
credit to themselves might initiate him.
The record is accessible and very plain.
No honest warrant whatever exists for the
current accusation that the President is
going to an extreme in his recognition Of
the colored race. He has made fewer selec-
lions from that race for federal office than
any of his republican predecessors. His
immediate predecessor made a large num-
Der of such appointments, and was roundly
denounced for them; but now that he is
dead the very men who assailed him then
the most savagely have administered on his
estate and are quoting him reverently in an
effort to injure his friend and successor.
Cheap politics is never the best politics.
Stirring up trouble between the two races
is not necessary to the making of an issue
for next year. Questions of great import
ance will present themselves. and Mr..
Roosevelt as his party's candidate will be
Obliged to take a definite stand on them.

Lynch law Is passing away In this coun-

The decrease within the last year is due to
two causes-there were fewer cases of the

occurred. and the authorities in some of the
states are enforcing the laws against capital
ofrenses with more than the old-time rieor.
