Too Much Abbreviatiou.

A reader of the New York Evening Post
has written to that paper protesting against
the prevailing disposition of the public to
abbreviate geographical names. His ire was
aroused chiefly by the receipt of letter from
this city, the writer of which dated it as
being written in Wash, D. c." He has
also been irritated in the past by getting
letters addressed to him in Mad. ave-" The
world, he thinks, is too busy to be polite,
and the time has come for a protest in ur-
gent tones.
All of which Is to the point. There is, in
truth, too much haste in our effort to avoid
waste. 1t takes but a little more ink and
time to write Washington or Madison, -
and the result is gain in dignity and DO
likeness. When Maryland becomes Md"
and Missouri merely MO it is time to
pause to wonder whether there is not dan
ger in the tendency. In titles too there Is
an Objectionable inclination to skimp letters

the result desired in time for an early adj

Presented in this way the question takes
on largely the aspect of the convenience of
members. The difference in time is only
six months. So far as the business world
Is concerned there would be no more alarm
taken at the one date than at the other.
Why any alarm at either date? Destruc-
ton of American industries is no part Of
the program. Not even injury would fol-

lists have in view. Protection is not the
target. The new measure should show the
same devotion to that policy that the pres

would be the readjustment of schedules to

> An Extra Session.

The principal argument i'm favor of an
extra session of the new Congress for the
purpose of dealing with the tariff question
is that tho regular session will be crowded
with other business. Fear is expressed that
a tariff bin could not be passed then. If at
all, until late in the summer or fall of 1906,
and that the congressional elections would
follow before the people had had time to
digest the new measure. Reference is
made 10 the republican party's experience
in 1889. when the Mckinley bill of that
year was delayed until within a few weeks
of election day. and result the democ-
rdcy swept the deck. The bill had been
savagely attacked in the debates, and the
people passed upon II adversely without
giving il the proper examination.
We then come to the proposition as to
when an extra session should be called.
Some of the revisionists would have the
new Congress assembled in the spring and
have the matter over with at once They
are of opinion that the work demanded
could be disposed of before midsummer
Others argue for a session in the fall. Let
the members of the two houses enjoy their

Mr.. Taggart as Editor.

The country has been so busy with other
topics a recent announcement as to
Thomas Taggart has not received the at
tention its Importance merits. He has
taken personal charge of the Indianapolis
Sentinel, which he owns, and hereafter will
direct its fortunes. Editor, restaurateur
and statesman, he will be a many sided
and much occupied man and will have
little time for play-even at French Lick
Sprngs-during the next four years
The resemblance between Mr.. Taggart
and the late John Sherman is not striking
but ii may be mentioned that after his four
years in the Treasury Department Mr.
Sherman was glad to return to the Senate
Asked the reason why. Mr. Sherman re-
piled: well. those fellows in the south

and I've had no adequate opportunity to
reply. Now I'm going back, and shall be
able to take care of myself In future
when John Sherman and his performances
come up for discussion there he'll be on
hand to state his side of matters"
For quite little while Mr.. Taggart has
been the target for all sorts OF newspaper
comment, the most of ii good natured, but
some of ii a trihe sharp. Since the election
he has been under a heavy fire. OF jovial

A Chadwick Mystery.

One of the mysteries of this Chadwick
affair is the fact that this accomplished
woman in the financial field did not have an
Office in or near Wall street. She operated.
IL Is true with great success among the
jays but how did she manage to control
natural ambition and keep away from the
very soul and center of things? She may

yers-weighing their words of course with
great care-assert that she will soon be
free. and then the choice will be Wall street
or the stage. The stage is crowded, and. be-
sides Mrs. Chadwick would be beginner
there. In the other field she has already
won her spurs-if the figure of speech is
appropriate-and with larger opportunities
she might make the records of Jim Fiske
and some later worthless look-speaking in
the lingo of finance-like thirty cents. Just

Reforms in Washington.

1t is to be hoped that the Presidents re-
marks in his annual message on the need or
certain sociological and sanitary reforms IN
the District will not give the country at
large the impression that the capital Is
place of sore evils which cry aloud for
instant correction. A certain distinction is
always to be borne in mind when Wash
ington is under consideration. 1t is based
upon the high ideal which was set for the
federal city at the outset, and which has
been held steadfastly In mind by it's makers
of the past century, despite discourage
ments and set-backs, handicaps and
neglect. The President holds this ideal
squarely in view and it has doubtless in
spired him in his utterances on the CAPT.
tails needs. He would have the District Of
Columbia clean and pure, we'll ordered
peaceful and decent. he asks for the
necessary legislation for these ends. not
because of the especial need for them
here as the conditions today compare with
those in other cities. but because WASH
ington should be made and be kept su-
premely clean. morally and physically
above all comparisons.
There are no worse slums here than else
where Indeed it is to be doubted if there
are as many or as foul places in the capt.
tai as in the average city of it's size There
Is no such great restitution here as is uSu-
ally to be found in communities where
large bodies of the people live from hand
to mouth and are dependent for employ
ment upon the often closed mills and fac
tories. There is no official graft here to
condone offenses and to foster neglect of
the sanitary laws. There is no political
machine to grind the people and to debase
the standards of public and private moral
ity. There are good schools and a high
average of school attendance, and a very
low percentage of child labor There is
low percentage of crime, despite the activ-
fly of the police courts due to the superior
efficiency of the police in haling offenders
before the judges.
But the very fact that conditions are
good here encourages all who love Wash
ington and believe in 1t and its future to
work the harder to make them better. The
task is not forbidding. The obstacles to be
overcome are not 1nsuperable. There is
every reason for encouragement for all who
labor In this field. The Presidents words
are clearly not intended to cheer tagging
and almost hopeless spirits, but to hasten
the already well progressing work of re-
form. If Congress will grant the legisla-
ton and appropriations necessary to the
ends suggested in the Presidents message.
the capital will supply the requisite enter
prise, both official and private, to carry
the reforms to a satisfactory conclusion.

bast them when his bile rises. HIS say
will come as often as theirs.
In this step Mr.. Taggart is probably not
copying Mr.. Bryan. who in defeat became
an editor. but Mr.. Bryan might do well 10
note the fact and promptly put the Senti-
mel on his exchange list. Heart would speak
to heart in that way, and lip answer to
lip, as to the democracys future. The two
men are chums and are probably the
prouder of each other since the failure OF
the Parker campaign. Mr.. Bryans style

be so easy at the start to identify Mr.. Tag

Texas has outgrown the six-shooter IT
