home for the bureau, and on the
first of the year Andrew Carne-
gle, at the instance of Secretary
Root, made a donation of $3.50, 900
for the same purpose. The bu-
reau has bought a tract of five
acres of ground just on the south
edge of the city and close to the
business section, and the archi-
tects of the country are to COM
pete in drawing plans for it's
home. There are 1876 firms en-
gagged in the competition, and
prizes aggregating $4,000 will
be given for the plans, besides a
large cash payment to the sue
cessful firm. The buildings and
fittings will cost 100000, so it
can be seen that it will be a de-
cided addition to the architecture
of the city. 1t probably will be
of the Spanish type of architec-
ture, with a central court rooted
with glass, with flower beds,
palms and ferns. 1t is arare op-
portunity for artistic treatment, |

vantage of to the full.
A curious case of a modern |
Jean Vatican was presented to |

term, escaped and assumed the
name of Charles Anderson. He
led a perfectly honest life and |
did we'll in the world, and became
the father of one child. After.
ward he was betrayed to the au-
thorities by former convict as
sociate, and would be taken back
to serve out his old sentence with
no time off for good behavior if
executive clemency were not ex-
ercised in his favor The presi-
dent has promised, however, to
look into the case, and if it is all
as has been represented to the
Department of Justice, there is
no question but that the eX-cOn-
vict will be given a free pardon
and allowed to continue the rep
utable life he has been leading.

Waiting for the Tide to
Ebb.
BY LEO.

BY LEO.
Young lads living near the
ocean wait for the tide to recede
when in search of beautiful shells
and other treasures. And they
know the exact time of the tides
coming in and going out. Like
the lads, the Ohio senators, and
their adherents, are waiting for
the tide of popular sentiment OF
Ohio Republicans in favor of
William Howard Taft to ebb; but,
unlike the boys above alluded to,
they have no certainty of the
time of ebbing, nor whether it
will recede at all. The oceans
tides are governed mainly by the
moon, but the tide in the affairs
of men" spoken of by William
Shakespeare, is governed by laws
not yet we'll understood. So that
the Ohio senators, and their
friends, can not calculate on the
time when President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft will become
less popular in Ohio.
A little while ago Senator For
aker was in favor of holding a
primaryele in Ohio in order
to find out whether Secretary
Taft or himself would be endor-
sed by the Republicans of Ohio
for the national Republican can
didate for the presidency next
year. The Taft men joyously
accepted the challenge, and were
prepared to have the matter test
ed at the earliest possible day;
but Chairman Dick of Akron,
and Cox Of Cincinnati are in IA
vor of postponement of the trial
on various pretexts. Senator
Dick thinks Senator Forakerwill
stand better chance at some
future time. He hopes that
withina year the popularity of
Secretary Taft will wane; that
the tide will recede.
Thus there is a sort of confess
sion made that as matters now
stand Secretary Taft would be
the choice of the people of Ohio
for the presidential candidate of
the grand old party next year.
They are right in their judgment.
Three-fourths of the Ohio Re-
publicans favor the candidacy OF
Taft as against Senator Foraker.
Ana this, because Secretary Taft
is the better equipped for the
presidency. Senator Foraker is
not going to make any foolish
fuss about it. AS soon as he
learns the real feeling in Ohio he
will quit fighting against the in
evitable.
The May number of Review
of Reviews" gives a picture OF
Secretary Taft as a robust young
bullock making for his hay in the
manger, but on top of the hay
sits Foraker as a big dog show
ing his teeth to the bullock
Dog in the Manger" being the
title.
This is unjust to Senator For
aker. He is a lifelong Republi-
can. true and brave; and when
he finds out for sure that Ohio
Republicans want Secretary Taft
and want him badly for the next
president of the United States,
the senior senator will not play
the role Of dog in the manger'
He has said several times that ne
wants no honors which the Re
publicans of Ohio are not willing
to give him.
At this time, beyond any doubt
the popular sentiment is for Taft
and we think the tide is not ye

France, and their reduction un-
der the new tariff arrangement
would mean great loss to the
planters of the south and cattle
raisers all over the country. We
have just escaped a trade war
with Germany by sending a COM
mission of tariff experts to that
country and fixing up an agree
ment under which trade between
the two nations will continue for
another year till Congress has a
chance to make definite treaty
arrangement.
France is now demanding the
same thing, and negotiations are
progressing between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Jusserand
that probably will result in send
ing a similar commission to
France.
The announcement from Great
Britain is not taken so seriously
by officials. It is known, of
course, that there is no tariff in
Great Britain. She is the only
one of the great civilized powers
that has free trade, and she is
the best customer of the United
States in the markets of the
world. There has been an effort
for three years past to get Great
Britain to adopt a protective tar
Tiff. This was the question on
which Joseph Chamberlain re-
signed from the Colonial Office.
Premier Balfour, who was his
close friend and understudy in
tariff matters, avoided at the
time of committing himself to a
protective tariff policy. Now,
however, he has announced him
self, declaring in favor of a
preferential arrangement with
the colonies, which would mean
that they would have free trade
with the mother country and the
rest of the world would be shut
out by a tariff wall. The British
mind moves very slowly in mat
ters of national change, so that
| it is not likely there will be any
immediate alteration in Britain's
policy of free trade. But things
are evidently moving that way,
and such a thing would seriously
affect the trade of this country
with Canada and Australia. 1t
must be said, however, that while
there is now a preference in the
Canadian tariff of 333 per cent in
favor of Great Britain as against
the United States, our trade with
Canada has grown steadily in the
past decade, and that of Great
Britain with Canada has as stead
lily fallen off,

Police Census Demonstrations.

The returns from the recently taken police
census of the District ought to furnish ma
teral for reflection regarding the develop
ment of the capital. Already two Items
are disclosed of an interesting character. 1t
appears that the southwestern section of
the city shows a decrease of population OF
914, comprising CSC white and Us colored
residents This decrease. IL Is believed, Is
to be attributed to the demolition of in
sanitary shacks under the new statute
which enables the Commissioners to destroy
buildings which are dangerous to the pub
lie health. OF course these 914 people have
merely moved TO another section. The city
can well afford TO experience shifts of pop
ulation from such a cause. The emigrants
are not lost to the District, but the COM
munity is much better off because of their
change OF residence. The real lesson of
these moves Is that the new standard of
living conditions. which is interposed by
the law. must be maintained affirmatively
by the provision of sanitary dwellings. as
well as negatively by the destruction of in
sanitary ones.
Another suggestive fact disclosed by the
census Is that In the southwest section
there has been q decrease of fifty-three
children not attending school. owing to the
enforcement ot the new compulsory educa-

ton law. 1t II to be believed that similar
showing will be recorded from other parts
OF the city. and that tn the total figures re-
sultinx from the count will be found q sub
stantial demonstration Of the efficiency OF
this new method of securing the education
Of the young. The afty-three children who
are now attending school in the southwest
ern portion of Washington represent dis
tinct gain over the former conditions They
Will be better qualified in later years to
work for themselves and the local charity
and correction problem viii be correspond
ingly lessened.
Here then are to be found two plain
proofs of the good effect of wise laws well
administered. Washington should have 70
insanitary shaeks in any section, and its
school population should be practically CO.
Incidental with its juvenile population 1t
should have TO the uttermost limits OF mu-
nicipai possibilities heaithful conditions in
every nook and corner, and it should see
that every child with the jurisdiction Is
given an elementary education. If these
t"o ends are achieved tins will. in the yea: $

prosperous city than ever before.
