So each and take their repayment in

There is special need for action
now. If the Symphony can be kept

Purifying the Bench.

An effect of the attempt to i'm
peach Judge Swayne is perceptible in
a tendency to look more closely into
the conduct of the judiciary generally
Several other judges have been ac-
cused Of misconduct, and while they
have not been hailed to the bar, and
perhaps are in no danger of this, they
are getting a lesson.
This country takes much pride in
the integrity of its judiciary. In
most instances there is ground for
this. Men are appointed to the bench
for proved merit, which includes both
a knowledge of the law and an as
sured belief that they are above be-
ing corrupted. They accept the places
after having won name, and per-
haps fortune, the dignity of the posi-
ton appealing TO them.
However, in cases where judge
ships are awarded merely as political
prizes, and the candidate receives a
nomination only at the behest of a
machine boss, there is no valid reason
for thinking him either honest or
especially capable. There is frequent
complaint CT the miscarriage OF JUS
tice, but to blame the judge for this
is rare. Perhaps it is rarer than it
should be. Many trials have dragged
on when they should have been finish
ed without delay. Many dilatory mo-
tons are entertained when the lawyer
making them deserves to be fined for
contempt
A judge must be of spotless repute
There is no middle ground for him.
When he is crooked or incompetent
the duty of causing him to yacate be-
comes manifest.

Music in the Balance.

The Washington Symphony Or
chestra looks failure in the face.
This situation is not due TO any
failure on the part of the musicians,
or any shortcoming on the part OF
the management, but to the indiffer-
ence OF the average Washingtonian
to good music. This it is that COM
pels the men behind the symphony,
after three years of expensive, self
sacrificing labor, to considering sur

Before adopting so conclusive a
course, the board of directors has
issued an appeal TO the public. 1t is
squarely drawn, and forcefully ex-
pressed Its CHEZ petition is for a
small contribution from the average

Monarch of Gems.

The finding of the greatest diamond
ever mined is matter of interest to
the average person just as would be
the announcement that science had
found new star The average per-
son knows that he won't have the
diamond nor chip of it. If he has a
fondness for such stones he is lucky
to be able to purchase one weighing
two carats, and often led into the
error then of buying a concealed flaw.
The new diamond contains in the
rough 5000 carats. The Koh-i-noor in
similar state was 700, and the Brazil,
now owned by the court of Portugal
900 The first was cut down to 102
carats, and the second to 100, so it
is plain the addition to the world
collection is a giant
Probably there is not another article
the value of which is fixed so arbi-
trarily as that Of diamonds. The
production is in the hands of a mon
opoly to the extent that the real truth
as TO tie product is not known. Like
ly If the field were open and the out
put as large as possible, the cleaning
bits of carbon could be sold by the
peck and be utilized in trading with
Indians
That the best diamonds are sent to
the United States is an indication of
prosperity. People here want them
and have the money to pay for them.
Indulgence in them is a luxury. 1t
is not always that the luxury is in
dulged in with modesty. The blazing
aoronet that is the focal point for all
eyes at social function has much in
common with the bit of crystal the
servant girl is apt to wear on her day
out.
Diamonds are beautiful, of course.
They blaze with an alluring fire thai
almost equals the radiance thrown out
by the necklace of the actress who
comes forth to dazzle, and whose

ing throat, hair, and raiment, has

Relative Cost of Ships.

On what seemed to be excellent
authority, the statement was made
IN these columns recently that the
figures relating to cost of the battle
ships Louisiana and Connecticut,
proved that the Government could do
the work much more cheaply than it
could be done by private contract.
II is the desire of this paper always
10 be fair Analysis of the figures
does not bear out the conclusion ac-
cepted as having been demonstrated.
Such is the view of Chief Constructor
Capps of the Navy, sustained by elab-
crate memoranda
It appears from the figures of Chief
Caps that the recorded cost Of Con-
necticur Government work. is at
present 50, 334 ,9370S, while that of the
sister ship fprivate work. is S3,548,-
ESQ. The percentage of completion of
the two bulls at the time the figures
were compiled was so and SIS, re-
spectiyely, the latter for the Louis
11fsd. DOt Inc Vi lut
Louisiana had been paid for to the
extent OF 81 ,16S, 1888, and that of the
Connecticut had been paid for only
10 the extent of 1921 1874 This
armor in every case is supplied by the
Government, and as soon as paid for,
charged against the vessel for which
it IS designed.
In the one item cited was the mis-
leading discrepancy. Eliminating this,
and others that under scrutiny be-
come as obvious, the net cost of work
on the ships up 10 September 4, 1904,
had been s2.088. 706.28 for the Louis
lana, and $2,149, 065.59 for the Con-
necticut, which, considering the adj
yancemelt of the latter, results yir-
tually in tie in the matter of ex-
penditure
Constructor Capps makes clear that
In comparison of costs. all charges for
arnor should be deducted from both,
: and he says that In the end the cost
Of the two will be almost identical

What About This !?

During the recent storm, which in
New York city was especially severe,
thousands of men were shoveling
snow in the streets. In order to get
the chance to do this many OF them
waited for hours in the bitter cold.
They were clad in tatters. Some of
them protected their feet by wearing
rags, not over their shoes, but in lieu
OF shoes. They had no gloves, or such
as they had were full of holes. The
weather was at zero, the wind fierce,
the waiting multitude hungry. The
suffering was intense. Some of the
| unfortunate, unable to endure it, fell
in their places and were carried away
Others ssreve manfuIly for a few
hours after they had received their
tools, but had to give UP the struggle.
Men who would brave so harsh an
experience are neither tramps nor
beggars. They are more than merely
anxious to earn their bread. They
are pathetically eager to earn it. They
do not ask favors. The simple chance
to toll should not be favor, but a
certainty
Somewhere there is work for these
poor fellows. 1t is not in the center
where the strife is overpowering.
! When men are cold and starving they
, cannot be considerate of the wants OF
others. They enter into a competi-
ton compared with which that Of
| commerce is mild. In commerce the
struggle is for gain. In the ranks of
the snow shovelers it is for life.
The meanness of human nature
could not have been more forcibly IL
1ustrated than in the fact that ap-
plicants were turned away because
they could not pay for the positions in
which the wages were % cents an
/ hour, and the places given to others
whe agreed to this petit larceny. The
fact was revealed that padrones, the
slavers of the East Side, put gangs at
work, and from each individual ex-
acted the tribute of cents an hour.
How the spoils were divided does not
appear, but that there was official
connivance is plain. No wonder the
desperate mob of disappointed made
/ an assault upon the padrones' sub
i jects, and if they cracked few heads
it is TO be hoped the exercise made
| them warm.
People hear with comparative in
difference of famine and suffering in
distant lands 1t is seldom that the
story comes from SO near home. H.
dustrious men do not want TO eat the
bread of charity. The free soup
house is benefcent in its way, but 1t
undermines the character of the indi-
vidual. When the good people OF New
! York, some of them rich, q large pro-
portion Of them prosperous, learn OF
| the battle for crusts that goes on
about them it is marvel that they
are not stirred to their depths Have
we not, as a. people, sense enough to
correct conditions so bad? Or are we
! growing callous?

THE CHILD THAT ONCE YOU WERE

Q, hopeless face of middle-age,
o disappointed eyes,
And lips Of thin fnality,
What sad soul stalks behind that cage,
ThoGe stern bars of mortality?
I saw the child that once you were
Fit 10 your look enc day.
A tender boyhood just beginning:
And my quick throat rose sharp with
tears
To think OF all the sodden years.
Since then, and all the SHINING.
The trusting child that once you were
Not wholly drugged TO sleep.
And all those dreadful spades OF earth
To bury you moro deep.

An Important Week.

FOr the District or Columbia the
coming week will be the most i'm
portant week on the whole calendar
OF Congress 1t will mark the con-
sideration of the District appropria-
ton bill by the subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations.
This subcommittee finds itself call
ed upon every year to display the most
mature judgment and exercise the
incest discrimination in arriving at
conclusions respecting the appropria-
tons for the National Capital. But
this year, it may truthfully be said,
the problems with which 1t has to
deal are even more important than
heretofore.
Tomorrow morning the subcommit-
tee takes up the District appropriation
bill. The subcommittee consists of:
MIR. Allison of Iowa.
Mr.. Gallinger of New Hampshire.
Mr.. Wetmore of Rhode Island.
Mr. Cockrell of Missouri.
Mr. Tillman of South Carolina
In this group of men who are fully
aware of the necessities of the situa-
ton, and whose broad-minded states
manship comprehends nothing less
than making the National Capital the
g1andest city of the nation, the Dis
trict reposes confidence. To them

that occasionally its broad minded
craftsmanship is disturbed by miser-
able technicalities in its rules and lit
