the men whose incomes depend upon the
weather, whose families must be clothed
and fed whether it rains or shines. Is
hot or cold, is wet or dry. Then there are
women whose wage-earners have died, or.
worse still. are incapacitated by bad hab-
its. The wheels of necessity do not stop
turning for them when the purse is emp
tied. They are entirely honest and are
properly proud. They are willing to work
and earn their funds, but there is no work
to be had. Sometimes work can be found
for such as these with little thinking and
hustling and perhaps with a little sacri-
ficing.
If all the world that is well to do sat
comfortably at home when the winter
winds blow and contented itself with the
thought that everybody is. sheltered and
we'll fed, there would be misery SO dire
that no pen could ever describe it. For
tunately the true Samaritans are always
busy. doing the work Of succor. They go
forth in the worst of times knowing that
for the sake of charity those are the best
of times. They brave dangers and endure
serious discomforts because only thus can
they reach the actual needs of those who
lack the means of life. The bad weather
is to them an opportunity, not a deter
rent.
Christmas charity is beautiful and help
full; everyday charity is better still.
Christmas charity may possibly be a little
perfunCtory; everyday charity is spon-
taneous. whole-souled. Christmas charity
is occasional; everyday charity Is a habit,
one of the best habits that man can
acquire

Is Senator jeff Davis really piqued at

phase Of urban life. An aged man, evil

On weapon or poisons. He wasted no

deadliest spot he knew, the piece Of pave
ment Immediately in front of a rapidly
driven automobile. He was, it is true,
inconsiderate of the feelings of the chauf-
feur. He evidently had no compunction
about shocking the bystanders. Maybe
he thought they would be accustomed to
the spectacle. He went straight at the
work of quitting this sphere, and the mo-
tor car did the rest. Fortunately he be-
haved in a manner to leave no possible
doubt of his intention. Thus the coroner

Tho Democratic Committee.

The latest commotion rs over the chair
manship of the democratic congressional
committee Mr.. Griggs of Georgia mas
had enough His two efforts to elect
democratic House failed, and he is willing
for somebody else to try. No third term
for him.
The only names canvassed in connection
with the place are those of southern men
And yet why? Is not the demand rather
for a man from another section? DID not
Mr.. Griggs' two failures proceed in part
fro the fact of his environment. Inc
south is not today, nor has 1t been LOT
years, the place for the education OF
practical politician. Everything down
there goes one way with whoop. You
raise your flag and sound your horn, and
the battle is won.
1t is different in the east and In the
west In those sections there are TWO
Sides and the man who undertakes 10 or
ganize victory should not only know the
surroundings, but how to ADJUST MS re-
sources to meet them. II other words he
should be able to play the game according
to local rules
The place, however. will go to the south
by default. There is dearth of ma
terial elsewhere. If a New Yorker OF the
right kind were available he would be the
man. But neither Bourke Cochran nor
Mr.. Suzer fills the bill. Both are orators,
not campaign managers. Their own cam
paisns are managed for them. If In
diana. or Illinois, or New Jersey. could
show a man of national influence he
would do. But democracy in those states
has been reduced almost to the vanishing
point.
The opportunity should inspire the man
selected to do his utmost. II he should
win the House, why should he not preside
over it? Mr. Williams will retire at the
end of the present House. and that will
leave the field pretty well open. Mr..
Clark and Mr. De Almond of Missouri, Mr..
Underwood of Alabama, and one or two
others might aspire to leadership. but
none of them would have the claim upon
the party that this man would who had

twelve years of democratic disaster. He

An Object Lesson.

Such days as this should greatly in
crease the chances of early action by
Congress on the Union station plaza car
tracks bill. If a physical demonstration
OF the absurdity of the present situation
were needed. this rain and slush should
supply it emphatically. Here is Washing
ton. capital of the United States. provided
with a railroad terminal costing anywhere
from fifteen to twenty million dollars. a
building of monumental size and highly
artistic design, an object of universal ad-
miration and much municipal envy. Yet
when the traveller lands in the beautiful
building and goes forth to take the car to
his home or to a hotel he Is confronted
with the necessity of walking two or three
blocks to reach a car line or patronizlng
the cabs. Away off in the distance he can
see the street cars passing the corners
and, If stranger here, unacquainted with
the history of the case, he marvels at
the backwardness of the city. He won
ders what sort of benighted people live
here, who do not know enough to bring
their car tracks to the railroad station
When enlightened upon the subject he is
likely to question the sagacity and FORE
sightedness of the legislators into whose
hands the affairs of the District are en-
trusted.
The great mystery of why the trackage
bill is delayed remains as profound as
ever. Is there a sympathy with the in
dependent hack driver? Is there q tender
feeling for the steam railroad company
that operates a cab service? Is there a
crouch against the street railway compa-
mics? Or is there simply dog-in-the-
manger disposition to let the public suffer
until some day everybody is so tired of
the struggle that these pet measures of
correction and reform will be admitted to
a free ride through Congress on the plaza
trackage bill? If the street railroad COM
panies themselves wanted the privilege of
putting down the new tracks this sort Of
maneuvering would be fairly easy to I'M
derstand. But the traction companies do
not especially want it, while willing to do
whatever is necessary to adjust their
lines to the new terminal conditions.
Some day perhaps the veil will be lifted
and the truth will be disclosed. Then
verybody7w will know why this heavy bur-
den has been laid upon the inoffensive
public, long suffering and helpless. The
hope, despite disappointment, remains
that Congress will not permit this ma
neuver to be continued indefinitely. but
will proceed in a businesslike manner to
enact the necessary law which will give
the people immediate access to and from
the cars at the terminal.

Instantly there is renewal in New York

his labors as IN historian. He might
travel with profit. All peoples would be
glad to see him. II the republicans win

exhibit when he has his working jacket

gestion. Panama Is the place for Mr..
Roosevelt. The isthmus is the field for
strenuosity. and will be for years to come.

name for all time with the end as with
the beginning OF the greatest project by

murder of ex-Gov. Steunenberg Thus far
the case has attracted only the slightest
attention. whereas few months ago the
entire country was vitality interested in
the proceedings at Boise which resulted
in the acquittal of William Haywood on
a similar charge. Orchards story is by

Rough Seas
the New York Times,

From the New York Times.
The biggest and newest ships in the
passenger service have suffered as much
in the recent heavy storms on the north
Atlantic as the older and smaller vessels
Indeed. the Lusitania and Mauritania
seem to have felt the worst effects of the
storms they have encountered. The huge
Adriatic was delayed sixteen hours on
her eastward voyage. The generally
steady steamers of the second class, like
the Graf Waldersee. have been tumbled
about In the mountainous waves. All the
incoming passengers have the same kind
of tales of woe to tell. Enormous ton
mage, great length and breadth of beam,
turbine engines and the most ingenious
devices to secure comfort. have been un-
ayailing. 1t Is a question whether all
the larger ships have not had harder go
ing than those Of the older types. Ger
tainly the experiences OF their passengers
have been harder to bear. because they
were generally UNEXPECTED.

cation he is wonderful actor. Psyche
logically, Orchard presents one Of the
most absorbing studies ever offered In the
course of the criminal trials Of this coun-
try. Regarded either as faker or as an
honestly repentant assassin, he stands in
a class by himself Yet the second telling
Of his tale OF horror is followed by only a
small squad of the people, whereas the
FIRST narration was a sensation felt in
every nook and corner Of the land. Pos
sibly the question as TO Orchards truth
fulness may never be answered in terms
satisfactory to all classes of people. The
fact that the jury in the Haywood case
evidently did not believe him has doubt
less created a prejudice in the minds OF
many men sufficiently strong to prevent
later conviction that he is a sincere re-
vealer of the truth Of one of the most
barbarous conspiracies ever Matched In
modern times.

Decay Of Absolutisno.
From the New Orleans Picayune.,

There has been a marked drift toward
democratic and representative govern
ment all over the world in the quite re-
cent past. This tendency is not confined
merely to Europe. but is seen IN PERSIA
in China and, latest Of all. Abyssinia.
Even in those countries where parlia-
mentary government has been established
for generations. there has been a drift
toward wider participation OF the
masses In the administration OF anairs
and a marked curtailment of the in
diyidual power of the sovereign. Even In
Germany there has been noticeable
change in the character Of ministerial re-
sponsibility.
