Back to Work.

The vacation tide Is now running high. as
the sojourners at mountain, seashore and
farm hurry back to their homes and their
days work. This is the second phase Of
the great annual movement, which first
draws millions Of people out Of the cities
and then at the close of the summer sea-

Others have stimulated themselves with
new thoughts gained by contact with other

1t is question which form Of vacation
does the most good. that which merely

as a type OF the American annual regenera-

Z "Uncle joe Cannon has quite as much

Gompers in the Maine campaign stirs the

Taft for Tariff Revision.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The administration. in the person of
Secretary Taft. has come to Congressman
Littlefield's support with becoming vigor.
Incidentally, he departs materially from the
infieXible attitude proclaimed by Speaker
Cannon and accepted by most Of the party
advocates. The purpose to stand pat is
Of doubtful popularity in New England,
and Mr.. Taft wisely interjects his "individ-
ual opinion to the effect that there has
been a change in the business conditions of
the country. making 1t wise and just to re-
wise the schedules of the existing tariff"
He thinks that the sentiment in favor of a
revision Of the tariff lis growing in the re-
publican party" and that "in the near flu
ture the members of the party will doubt
less be able to agree on a reasonable plan.' -
Hesitating as this promise Of revision is.
1t is,.very significant, especially when we
consider Mr.. Tafts close relation with the
President. 1t is not desired to make the
issue prominent in this election, but with a
republican House assured the administers
ton is Hkely to give 1t something to think
about in the way Of tariff revision.

Tiger took him up because Of his oratorical
powers. and he is as much of an orator as
ever. 1t is true the House appears indif-
ferent to him. but that may proceed from
partisan envy. Mr.. Towne likes his place

the announcement of whose death yester-
day shocked the community. Most or
hose who worked with Mr.. Davis years
ago in the interests of the capital In an
emergency Of vital consequence have passed
away. and Mr.. Davis himself was not given
10 reminding the public of his services.
Yet the fact remains that to him perhaps
more than any other Individual was due
the credit of having secured readjust-
ment of the relations between the District
OF Columbia and the federal government,
which caused the capital to be placed on
the present half-and-half basis of financial
support.
Only those who were engaged in public
affairs thirty and more years ago are aware
of the desperate plight of the local finances
and the dark outlook OF those who were
striving for the advancement OF the Dis
trict to its proper position as the seat OF
government. Its embarrassments as mu-
nicipality were many and apparently hope
less of relief. With an income insufficient
10 meet its growing needs. it was headed
for bankruptcy. There was imminent dam
ger Of the failure Of certain of the essen
tial branches of the municipal government.
The public schools were in straits for funds.
and other public works were crippled.
In this emergency Mr.. Davis. who was
one of the District sinking fund commits
sioners addressed a memorial to Congress.
setting forth the facts and appealing for
q readjustment Of the relations Of the gov
eminent and its ward. The Star. as told
elsewhere, lent it's aid in this enterprise,
both editorially and in its news columns.
and as a result Of a vigorous campaign,
conducted by the leading citizens of the
District, with the exceptionally efficient
action of Mr.. Davis, the legislation Of 1878
was enacted. putting the capital tor the
first time upon sound and satisfactory
financial basis.
Lewis j. Davis had a keen mind in all
matters pertaining to finance. He was
constructive worker conservative and
sound in his methods, and always imbued
with the highest principles Of conduct.
Although modest and retiring in DISPOSE
ton. never obtruding himself upon public
notice. he nevertheless was always to be
relied upon to do his part in the elevation
Of the standards of citizenship and to
bring the District in its equipment up to
the plane of federal capitalship. One of the
real workers of the community, his death
creates a vacancy. He will be sorely
missed, both as man Of affairs and as
friend. His personal qualities were such
as to endear him to wide circle, and there
Is grief In consequence among those who
knew him and who held him in the highest
esteem.
