Taft as q Stumper.

For a heavy weight Secretary Taft is a
good deal of sprinter. He gets about
filling engagements to speak as nimbly as
Mr.. Bryan did in his younger days A
speech in the morning. another in the after
noon. and a third at night, with several
receptions thrown in. do not tire him at
all. Here is food for thought. If he is
nominated for President next year will the
Secretary make a tour? If Mr.. Bryan runs
again he is almost certain to swing around
the circle, in his former campaigns.
This will be a sort of challenge to the
opposition. and an effective stumper like
Secretary Taft might be tempted to accept
it. And with both candidates abroad hunt
ing votes snakes would be walked from

Cleaning-Up Day.

BY the close of the 7th of September
every dirty corner In this city should be
thoroughly cleaned, every ilI-smellng place
purlhed, every CARLOAD OF rubbish removed
To proper place of disposal and every
thing put in good order for another wear,
For after that date the Commissioners
VIII proceed vigorously against those who
neglect their premises and contribute to the
malevolent conditions that affect the health
and the comfort of the community.
1t Is good thing thus to clean up at
least once a year but ii is far better
thing to keep so clean all the year round
that no special effort to reach the proper
standard is necessary. The District has
provided an excellent service for the col
lection and disposal OF garbage and other
reiuSe, and there is no excuse for any
householder falling to keep his premises In
eood order The accumulation of waste of
any character in cellars or back yards be-
speaks sloth and procrastInation, and IL a
sign OF bad housekeeping. 1t is easy to
have place for putting trash and a time
for passing it out to the collectors. 1t is
easier indeed. to observe a routine in such
matters thaH-to allow refuse to accumulate
and later to clean it up in a hurry under
pressure from headquarters
The householder who keeps his front ward
neat and allows his back yard TO grow high
with weeds. or TO fill up with unsirhtIv
refuse. merely because it cannot be seen
from the street. needs a shock TO teach him
that cleanliness is not merely sightIjness or
iront-yard trimnesS house with that
sort of outdoor setting is likely TO be dirty
inside
Not every resident, perhaps. can afford
the tune o. funds to transform his back
yard into a garden spot to build arbors or
train vines or maintain flower -bordareti
walks. But every person can at least keep
the premises clean and decent. and those
who fail 10 do deserve sharp punishment

others than themselves in the matter of

Congress and the Presidency.

Mr. Cannon in his latest interview is
quoted attaching great Importance to
the work of the first session of the Sixtieth
Congress. The presidency itself, he thinks,
is involved. If the legisla ton is wise the
country will applaud. and at the polls In
the following November reward the party
responsible. If Congress blunders the ma
jority party will pay the penalty.
II may he suggested that NJ. Cannon
puts Congress ahead of all other agencies
in its influence on the political situation.
and indirectly thus puts his own boom on
the back. As Speaker of the House he
will exert marked inauenc. in shaping the
work of that body. If therefore the work
of III" session is good. and the party ap
proves il. Mr.. Cannon may claim much
credit for it. Ii should strengthen him as
presidential quantity if when the republi-
can national convention meets his lends
are able to point to success attending his
third term as Speaker.
But. taking his remarks on their face
value, Mr.. Cannon is right. Republican
prospects next year will depend very much
on the work of Congress. The President
In his message will suggest: it will be for
Congress to act. There is at present no
hint of conflict between them. He got
along fairly well with the last Congress-
and should make his way with the new
body, His relations with Mr.. Cannon are
friendly. The latter is frequent caller
at the White House, and always speaks
with admiration of the President.
Still Congress cannot afford to be a m re

and must discharge them. If the Presi-
dents recommendations are not accepta Bile

Criminal Appeal in England.
l the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
By the enactment in the closing days of
the parliamentary session Of a bill estab-
fishing court of appeals for criminal cases
Great Britain has been placed in line with,
We believe, all other enlightened nations.
and 1t is probable also that the ends of JUS
tice have been materially promoted. In some
respects British criminal law has been more
decently and more effectively administered
than our own. Some of the Spectacular
and scandalous murder trials which New
York has suffered to its shame would have
been impossible in the United Kingdom. and
It Is reasonable to believe that the expedi-
ton with which British criminal procedure
acts, and the absence Of any court Of ap-
peal or other provision for securing a sec
ond trial. have invested the criminal code
with terror and have thus prevented to
some extent the commission of crime On
the other hand, there has now and then
been cause for fearing miscarriage Of JUS
tice in the condemnation Of an innocent
person: at any rate. there have been cases
in which popular assurance that justice was
done would have been enormously strength
ened If some higher tribunal had passed
upon and approved the verdict and sentence
of the court of trial

who make Washington their objective
travel there to visit it But these are only
a small proportion of the pilgrims to the
government shrine. and the Constitution,
located at Annapolis. would not serve to
Increase the number of tourist guests
The main consideration in choosing a
final place for preserving the Constitution
should be the maximum utilization of the
vessel as patriotic relic and an object
lesson. At Annapolis it would be chiefly
of interest to the naval cadets, already
saturated with naval traditions and sur
rounded with souvenirs of the past and
parts of the present naval outfit. Here 1t
would serve as an inspiration to all classes
OF people and would stimulate historical
study and arouse interest In the glori-
Gus deeds of the sailors of past genera
tion.
Sentiment is after all the only force
that lifts men and women out of the rou-
tine of life and expands their minds. The
historical sentiment is educational. The
patriotic sentiment is uplifting. Had it
not been for sentiment the Constitution
would long ago have been destroyed as a
cumberer of the waters. The American
people however. have demanded that this
old ship be preserved even knowing that
lneTt are tOudy bul le" StiChS VI Nhe
original frgate remaining and that the
greater part of the hull and rigging Is
the work of mechanics of many decades
since she ceased to be factor in the
naval armament of the United States.
At Annapolis the Constitution sentiment
would be dulled by the predominantly mod
ern naval surroundings. Here it would
be heightened by the lack of such an in
fuence Here the ship would stand in re-
lation not merely with the naval estab-
lishment of today. but the whole scheme
of government, in the salvation OF when
the stanch old frigate was such powerful
factor in her day. The Constitution De-

Monument and all the other attributes and
factors of the federal organization. prac-

Venezuela.

About two years and half ago Secretary
Hay notified the Venezuelan government
that justice must be done by that power to
the American claimants whose petitions Tor
redress of grievances had been systemati-
cally and contemptuously pigeonholed or
denied. Mr.. Hay plainly indicated that If
the government of Venezuela did not con-
sent to an impartial arbitration of these
claims insuring the rendition of complete
justice to the injured parties who were
American citizens. the government of the
United States may be regretfully compelled
to take such measures as it may find neces-
sary to effect complete redress without re-
sort to arbitration"
That was a plain notice to President cas-
tro that unless he yielded from his dogmatic
position that there were no grievances and
no just claims this country would resort to
force to compel him to liquidate the claims.
1t was in the nature of an ultimatum. But
so evasive and finally defiant was the die
tator-executive of Venezuela that the issue
was postponed and the matter was allowed
to slumber Castro 1t is believed by many
Americans bluffed this country to a stand
still.
Now fresh cause for complaint has aris-
en- in the fining by Venezuelan court of an
American corporation doing business in
that country to the amount of S5.0O0,OCO as
punishment for the assistance alleged to
have been given by it to the Matos revolu-
ton. of few months ago. The premises
upon which the charge was brought are de-
MED by the corporation and the so-called
proof of completely in the revolt has been
aspersed as perjured and insufficient. Thus
the case passes once more up to the State
Department and the question again arises,
What is to be done with Venezuela?
Unless something is done it will be un-
safe for an American firm or corporation to
enter that country for the purpose of doing
business. This will be in effect a discrim-
mating exclusion of American capital. Apart
from the matter of the fine. the justice of
which is seriously questioned such state
of affairs is not to be tolerated, especially
in view of the fact that Venezuela today
owes its territorial integrity to the United
States
, Castro is a persistent offender against the
law of nations, against international equity
and against the doctrine of good faith. He
is thorn In the flesh of every COVE rnment
having business with his country. Now as
sertng unheard-of prerogatives on his own
assumption of right and power now cloak
ing his maneuvers behind questionable ju-
dicial proces sses. he renders the tenure of
foreign investors in his territory uncertain
and hazardous. The only argument to
which he yields is a whit of grapeshot -
1t would be in the last degree unpleasant
to have to apply this remedy to the case
but unless the United States is to be dis
credited in the south 1t must force the issue.

Old Ironsides.

There should be no doubt as to the final
resting place of the old frigate Constitu-

And the locomotives race.

OF some swift and strange device
But you've got to keep on walking
If you haven't got the price.
The great aim is saving labor;
But you've got to labor more
To keep marching with your neighbor

Something wonderful and nice
That will keep life going gaily;

The Picture Postal Card.
From the New York Sun.

The picture or souvenir postal card is
probably doing more to make the world
known to the untrayeled than all the geog-
raphies and gazetteers. There is scarcely a
village anywhere in the domain Of the Pos
tai Union that has not had its picture taken
for a postal card impression in black or
white or in colors. and thus its humble fame
has been carried over seas and introduced

to the man who invented the picture postal
card, they may be reminded of the old home
scenes at an expenditure OF few cents.
