NEED OF PUBLIC BATH
FORGIBLY EMPHASIZED

The need OF public baths has been
forcibly emphasized since the opening
Of the public service station at Pennsyi-
vania avenue and Seventh street north
west. During the brief period Of little
more than a month since that station
has been in operation numerous re-
quests for use OF bath rooms have been
made by people who have called there.
thinking the station contained public
bathing facilities.
The Commissioners have from time TO
time presented this matter of public
baths to Congress in different ways,
but nothing has ever come of the sug-
Eestion.
Commissioner NIacfarland says the
matter will be again presented to the
Sixtieth Congress. Discussing the sub
ject, he said:
II wish that some private citizen or
citizens would give the city Of Washing
ton ON a public bath building as a me
mortal, and a model for the future.

"Ian MaClaren.

There is added sadness in the
death of Ian. Maclaren"-less well
known by his own name of Rev.
John Watson-from the fact that it
has occurred so far from his own
land and kin. Yet the quick SYM
pathy of thousands of Americans
who have been delighted by the
mans writings must doubtless be of
some comfort to those he leaves be-
hind.
Ian Maclaren was not a great fig
ure in literature, but he was a crea-
tor of sunshine. His Bonnie Briar
Bush" with it's genial optimism and
its honest philosophy of life, has
done more good, and will so con-
tinue, than many a more brilliant
or profound story. Some believe
that the Scotch dialect was for him,
as has been said with doubtful JUS
tice of Barrie and Crockett, a sort
of cloak for mediocrity, and in some
respects this is true. But under the
veneering he had real humanity,
warm blood, and a tender heart.
His passing takes a pure and cheer
ing light from the world of books.

Germany is in disgrace. She has been

has the Fatherland been defeated, but
1t does not come IN as a good second
in the national race for the consump-
ton of beer.
This is made known through the re-
port 10 the State Department Of Con-
sui General r. J. Wynne, Of London,
made public today.
The United States stands fourth In
the list
Belgium Does Nobly.
In the year 1865" Mr. Wynne says,
THE total amount Of beer drunk in the
United Kingdom was equal 70 an av-
erage Of ri gallons for every man,
woman, and child in the population,
and though this was three. gallons less
than in 1901, only four years earlier, il

Regulating Express Rates.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has taken its first action with
reference to the fairness of express
rates, and a highly important and
far-reaching action il is. II upholds
completely the contention of the So
ciety of American Florists, which
claimed that the rate charged by the
United States Express Company on
cut flowers from New Jersey points
to New York city was unreasonable,
excessive, and unjust.
This rate till July, 1906, was so
cents per 100 pounds, and at that
time was raised to 81 per 100 pounds.
The order of the commission re-
quires the company to cease and de-
sist from charging the 81 rate after
June IS, and directs it on or before
that date to put in a 60-cent rate
from Chatham and Somerville, n. j.,
to New York city, and various other
reductions, as well as directs the
reduction on the rates on empty
flower boxes from New York city TO
the points named to the merchan-
disc rate of so cents per 100 pounds.
Here at last is tangible and salu-
tary check to the all too common
eXtortions of express companies, the
big representatives of which have
long considered themselves as the
sole arbiters of their charges to the
people. Now that the commission
has definitely begun on a course of
reform along these lines, we may
expect to see changes demanded in

The Calling Flunkey.

The self-satisfaction of Americans
in the belief that they are the most
progressive people on earth now and
then receives a deserved rebuke at
the hands of some alien community.
Such an one has just been admins
tered in the form of a social pro-
gression reported from London,
which Indicates that the English
cousins are getting a long way in
advance of us in the adoption of
practical and comfortable social
customs.
It is reported that the society
people of the metropolis have given
up in despair the effort to pay in
person their duty calls, and that
they have adopted a plan of calling
by proxy. Milady simply leaves
with her stationer a transcript of
her calling list with instructions
that her calls shall be attended to
at so much per. The stationer en-
graves the cards and then sends out
a well groomed, properly dressed
person, who Is not a gentleman, but
who has all the outward aspect and
manners of one, to distribute the
cards at the homes of social cred
itors. Only the calls which involve
intimate friendship and close per-
sonal relationship are made in per-
son. the rest are made by proxy.
1t is sad thought that American
ingenuity should have been deprived
of the credit of inventing this sys-
tenn. We plume ourselves on our
contributions to the stock of labor
saving devices. but here is slow
going London presenting us a
scheme which involves more econ
omy of time, energy, and good
humor than a tuppenny tube or a
telephone exchange can ever claim
credit for. The most selfish and
cnnuied person will be able under
this dispensation to maintain correct
social standing the dinner invitation
will bring no horrors beyond those
Of anticipated indigestion, and the
whole fabric of society will be es-
tablished on a cheerful basis of
making a vicarious sacrifice of the
calling turnkey.

The German Agreement.

The tariff modus vivendi between
the United States and Germany is
proving so unpopular with the ex-
tremists of the high protection cult
in this country, and with the same
group in Germany, that it is begin
ming TO commend itself TO other peo-
pie. A compromise agreement Of
this kind, which proves unsatisfac-
tory to the ultras on both sides, is
likely, in the end, TO prove quite a
fair proposition.
1t is plain enough that on the side
of the United States there has been
about all the concession that could
be made under present laws and
conditions. Not only was Germany
given as much as Executive author
ity could grant in the matter of
administration. but she was assured
that beyond that point the Admin
istration would use its best endeav-
ors to secure some amelioration of
the customs statutes. The outcry
against this proposal, which has
gone up from the Home Market
Club and its allies suggests how
vigorous a contest Will be made to
prevent passage of tariff revision
and adoption of a maximum and
minimum arrangement. It will be
one of the greatest tariff fights this
country has ever seen.
The President is determined, How
ever, that the country's business
relations with Europe shall so far
as possible be relieved from the bur
den of hostile feeling which former
rigid tariff policies and construction
have caused. There is no longer
serious doubt that the 1908 platform
Of the Republicans will declare for
revision, and apparently the demand
for a pronouncement in favor of the
maximum ana minimum plan will
be so strong as TO make its rejection
impossible. About everybody in this
country except the United States
Senate is apparently friendly to
either this plan or reciprocity. The
latter being plainly impossible, the
former becomes the alternative.
We suspect that by the time a
tariff commission has negotiated for
few weeks with France, and an
other with Austria-Hungary, the
tariff issue in this country will look
up again. There is a world of educa-
tional possibility in these confer
enees, if they accomplish nothing
more. And education is needed just
now. -
