Waiting on the Speaker.

The pure food bill is almost on the
statute books, and there is no
longer quarrel about that. But
there is another very important bill
which is sleeping'in the House, and
which the Speaker could put through
if he desired. 1t is bill that needs
only TO be presented TO the House
for its consideration; very few
members would dare vote against it.
Reference is made to the TiIIman
corrupt practices bill, which was
passed by the Senate, and which is
now pigeOn-holed in the House. So
good and regular a party organ as
the New York Tribune has this to
say about the status of this very
important measure:
Congress should pass at once the bill
torbidding corporations 10 contribute
money in connection with anv election a
which Presidential electors or Repre-
sentatives arc voted for, or in connec-
ton with any election or attempted
election of Senators. This is q reform
which public opinion demands. and there
IS no good reason why II should not
have its first triai IN the approaching
Congressional campaign. Delay in Iegis-
lating against corrupt practices VIII
only suggest evasion, and such a charge
VIII prove embarrassing 70 meet IN the
present temper of the voters.
Does the Speaker forget the dis
closures of the insurance investipa-
ton? Is he afraid that, should this
bill forbidding campaign contribu-
tions by corporations become law,
the Republican majority in Con-
gress might be reduced because of
the inability of the Congressional
committee to fry the fat? Perhaps
1t might be more sxpedient to; let

and thereby leave Chairman Sher-
man unhampered in the collection of

be either the square or the polite

A Valuable Commission.

The Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds proposes an
investigation into the needs of the
District which promises to have
great value. 1t is an inquiry by a
commission of Congressman into
the relative merits of the several
propositions made this past year for
extending the parking system of
the Capital. At the beginning of
the next session, according to pres
ent plans, a report shall be ready
setting forth the needs of the Dis
trict and proposing a definite plan
for acquiring such parcels of the
ground designated as the commits
sion shaIr deem available.
Fortunately for the clerks in the
three departments, the Capital, and
the country, this project does not
delay action on the Senate's propo-
sition to buy ground for buildings
TO house the Department of State,
the Department of Justice, and the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The Senate has not been in the
least dissuaded by the disapprovaI
of the House from its very business
like action in that respect. Unless
present indications fail, Senator
Scott will stand as strongly for that
item as the House conferees are
likely TO stand for the many post
Offices and customs houses allowed
by the omnibus public building bill
throughout the country.
But the situation as to new parks
for Washington is vastly different.
Certain legislators have inclined to
the acquisition of ground for bring
ing Rock Creek Park to Massachu-
setts avenue. Others sought to
have Meridian Hill bought before it
was covered with buildings. Others
endeavored to locate a considerable
park across the Eastern branch. All
three propositions had the hearty
approval of the Commits sioners.
To them, The Times adds the sug-
gestion that small reservations be
obtained for the adornment and
health of the northeast and south
west-the northwest and southeast
being now fairly well supplied. Still
another project is that proposed by
Representative Rodenberg, who very
wisely apprehends the Illustration of
the Park Commission plans for the
new railway terminals if the few
blocks of ground intervening be-
tween the Union Station and the
Capitol are not acquired by the
Government and converted into an
attractive vista. Both of these con
siderations should be weighed by
The commission also.
Every one of these plans has dis
tinct merit. Perhaps all of them
should be adopted with as little
delay as possible. But, in any case.
no committee of Congressman could
hope to examine into them, deter
mine their relative value, and pro-
vide sufficiently safe-guarded meth
ods of acquiring the land in the
hurry-up, end-of-the-session hours
which remain. A commission en-
powered and directed TO do this
work thoroughly promises far more
valuable results to the District.
