A Victory for Results. =

The District is altogether content
with the result of yesterdays pri-
mary in the Old Dominion. Cover
nor Montague might have proven our
strong friend. But Senator Martin
is already proven and the thousands
of youngsters swinging in the swings,
or playing crosS-f fox, or participating
in kindergarten outdoor games at
the local Fairgrounds are particularly
the gamers by his return 70 the Sen
ate.
From enc point of view the contest
was especially significant. The issue
was squarely drawn between what
might he termed Ornamental"
craftsmanship and practical" states
manship, Friends OF the governor
contended for representative in the
Senate who might glorify the State
traditions with resounding periods.
The friends of Senator Martin were
after results. 1t Is a sign of the
times that the platform of results"
was victorious.
So. IN the absence of a political
cyclone. the District of Columbia and
the State of Virginia can both count
on the strong, influential, though
quiet support of one OF the Virginia
Senators for the next seven years as
well as on the spendid oratory and
consistent diligence of the other Sen
ator. The success of Senator Mar
tins opponent might not have
changed this. But it would have
been poor recognition of the serv-
ices Senator Martin has performed.
Both communities are therefore to
be congratulated on the outcome.

More Graft Raddles.

Every campaign aEainst graft is
designed to ahtaia convictions. Many
of them dc. Bat al of them involve

been the melancholy experience Of
Washington recenyly. whenever
grafters have been caught red

down with them.
The tragedy of this injustice 10 the
innocent is exemplihed IN the career
of James T. Metcalf. The tragedy Of
this justice 10 the guilty is manifest
in the fate of August W. Maehen.
The latter IS almost alone in his dis
credit and suffering. But Metcalf
has not been alone. and it was vel

one of his associates in unmerited
punishment, George T. Moore, of the
Agricultural Department is TO be

While the charges still pended. the

AT the cost Of a great deal of suf-
fering by one of their officials, the
people of the United States have
thus obtained fine instance of the
danger of snap judgments in cases
of supposed graft" Where that
kind of thieyery exists everyone de

all of a mind on that But it Will not

o'clock yesterday afternoon, Miss
Elizabeth NJ. Williamson and Fred G.
Berger, jr., We're the principals in one
of the prettiest weddings celebrated in
Washington this summer. Though no
invitations had been issued for the event
Il number of the friends Of the young
people were there TO witness the cere-
nOny. which was conducted by the Rev
George f Dudley. rector Of the church,
Tail palms. ferns and white and violet
asters decorated the chancel, the latter
color conforming with the costume worn
by the bride.
The wedding gown was a beautifully
fashioned one of violet shade OF
clinging cloth. The bodice was trimmed
with meddlliOns of lace and chiffon. Her
toQIie shaped hat was of violet trimmed
with white and her gloves We're Of the
same shade as her gown. She carried
a boquet Of Bride roses. Mrs. W. a.
Curran was the brides only attendant,
acting as matron of honor. She wore
q dainty gown of white French Mousse
line and big white picture nat and
carried Bride roses. Dallas Bache
WaiEewright jr., the boyhood friend of
Mr.. Berger. acted as best man.
As the bridal party entered the church
the "I.ohengrin" wedding chorus was
played BY Mr.. Karr the organist of ST
Andrews who, during the ceremony
played, "Oh, Promise Me" and Believe
Me If All Those Endearing Young

A World of encouragement.

The supremacy of decency in the
American mind has been evidenced
this week by two extraordinary cir
cumstances. Neither of them was
possible two years ago. Yet, when
tied together, they must afford a sin
gular qualification TO the citizen who
desires to see the Government ad-
ministered honestly, and for the good
OF all the people
Pennsylvania has taken Philadel-
phia's lead and bids fair to beat 10
death the Keystone machine which
has held the State in its grasp for
thirty years. If the prospect were
not clear. the grafters would not be
disturbed. But they are disturbed
and they are so apprehensive of a
drubbing like that meted out TO Boss
Durham in Philadelphia that the
head of the machine, Senator Pen
rose, has come out" for reform. Dur
ham and his allies. when they were
planning to steal the Philadelphia
gas works, met in the Senator's Office
and made it their headquarters. His
Identification with the ring in Phila-
delphia is, therefore, clear enough to
satisfy most of his constituents
whether it is clear enough to stand
in court or not and his desertion
of the graft" standard for that of
reform-eyen though it deceives no
one and is nowhere taken seriously,
is a fine augury of success for the
latter cause.
The other circumstance prevails in
New York. 1t is not Mr.. Jerome's
spectacular candidacy for reelection
as district attorney. That is a mani
! festation Of personality, not the prod
uct of public opinion. The remark
able thing is that this candidacy,
/ directed against the machines Of both
parties, seems likely to obtain the
| support Of both parties In any
! event, the present outlook is that
! both parties together could not de-
feat it. So no one in Gotham is sur
prised that Tammany makes ready to
adopt the public faith in Mr.. Jerome
by nominating that independent
on its regular ticket, or that ex-
/ Governor Odell whispers his entire
willingness to accept" Mr.. Jerome
as the Republican candidate fol
mayor.
whole world of encouragement
for the cause of good governmen, lies
III these TWO happenings.
