Other Painters Pass.

Novelty Of subject is one of the
charms of the paintings by Ruel p Toll
man. who secures the greater part Of
his motives from material many paint
ers would pass without regarding it
sufficient for the dignity of a pictorial
composition. In his quest for paint
able subjects, Mr. TOlman has given
much attention TO the pictorial possibiI-
tiles Of some of the public buildings by
moonlight, and reference has been
made in these columns Of his very cred
table pictures Of the Capitol by moon
light.
In the selection of the interior OF
the Union Station, as the subject OF
a composition, Mr.. Tolman has entered
upon a field full of possibilities, and the
possibilities are not all In the direction
of success. In the selection Of a subject
where the material is so largely or an
architectural quality, the impulse to
limit the work to a drawing in color,
and to forget other qualities In which
good drawing, however necessary, is
but the basis upon which color, ar
rangement. and that tndescribable quail
ity, individual Interpretation, depend, is
ever present.
The artist, in this instance, seems TO
be seriously impressed with the pictOr-
ial possibilities Of the material at hand.
The picture is not by any means COM
pleted but has reached that point where
its general tendencies are we'll defined.

WHERE PULL" DID NOT COUNT.

Two recent incidents show that there
is one branch of Government service
that moves along with little regard for
influence or pulp than once it had
the Navy.
There must have been strong dislike
to imposing so drastic a punishment
upon the son OF Admiral Evans
public reprimand and a reduction in
rank of $50 numbers-for the breach of
the naval code which the young man
committed, in the light of his fathers
position in the service. his popularity
with the President and many others Of
high standing. If the Navy were now
amenable to the influences that have
been known to have effect the infection
of some lighter penalty might have been
anticipated.
So with the case of Magness, who
left the service to marry young
woman of social standing with many
friends in high position. He has been
sentenced to prison for a year for de-
sertiOn.
1t NAV not be pleasant to contem-
Mate punishment in either case, but its
imposition indicates that the eyes of
Justice in some quarters are properly
bandaged.

STILL A WRECKER.

The Commoner is out-the first issue
since the election 1t tells a story, of
course. Is it a story of gratitude to the
Democratic party for "a support which
has no parallel in our history? Not so
that any ordinary human being can no
tice it. The story it tells is in two
chapters:
Chapter l-Tammany did not deliver
New York. Therefore, something must
be the matter with Tammany. Possibly
it is the existence of a Democracy in
dependent of Tammany. Therefore,
let's see if we cannot eliminate the
leading Democratic organization Of the
East.
Chapter 2-Gompers did no, deliver
the labor vote. Is something the mat
! ter with Gompers, by that token?
Never in the world. The answer Is that
the labor vote was inundated. There
fore, let's be sorry for Gompers.
1t is hard to be patient with Mr.
Bryan after such a deliverance. Elimi-
nate his DeIphic utterauce while en-
route TO Mexico. He would not be a
candidate unless forced by circum-
stances. Forget the right OF his party
to a complete and unquestioning renun-
citation from any further desire to lead
it to defeat. Merely aualyze these two
choice bits of comment from the Com
moner and you have the. answer.
| A Democratic organization that did
its best with a hopeless candidate is to
J be condemned. A labor leader who got
everything he wanted out of Mr.. Bryan,
whether the party wanted it or not, and
then failed, is not to be condemned.
Don't for minute befog your under
standing with any idea that the Peer
less One is dissatisfied with Tammany's
methods. Oh, no. lie thought them
good enough TO help him get elected.
His quarrel is with a straight-out body
Of -Partymen who did not carry
their Old Mar Of the Sea through to
victory. But he has no quarrel at all
with leader of organized labor who
could not lead.
What a wonderful old party the De
mocracy is, to endure all that the past
twelve years have brought upon it at
Che hands of Mr.. Bryan and yet sur
vive!

FIVE LIVES ARE LOST

Discovery of Sunken Schooner
With Sails Set Tells Tale of
Fatality.
Fatality

BOSTON, Nov. d 49, Discovery of a
sunken schooner with all sails set off
the Graves, near Boston harbor, brought
to light a sea tragedy which cost five
lives.
Some few hours after the City Of
Gloucester barely grazed the wreck
on her daily trip to this port, it was
learned that the sunlzen boat was the

THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT

President Roosevelt has written a
message to Congress favoring one-man
government, under a governor. He does
not recommend any suffrage or any leg
islative body for the District. lie rec
ommends merely TO substitute a single
head for the present tripartite head OF
the executive department.
This message may never be sent to
Congress- or, if sent, it may be trans
mitted late in the session, 50 that its
discussion will not interfere with i'm
mediate and urgent affairs.
The President knows that the Gas
Monopoly wants the one-man measure
presented and urged, in order to pre-
vent passage of the imitation. gas
bill. He is understood by people who
have talked with him, to desire that
nothing shall interfere with eonsidera-
ton of this legislation. In the past he
has given active and most useful assist
ance in behalf Of it.
1t is the Presidents belief that a
change in the form of government is
more important than the gas legisla-
tion. In that regard people familiar
with the status of the gas imitation
project, and anxious to prevent its con-
summation, are unable to agree with
the President. However, the President
has permitted it to become known that
he will not be in hurry about sending
his message to Congress; and it is now
intimated that the message may never
be transmitted at all In any case,
every week Of delay about forwarding
it to Congress is a gain for those honest
friends of better government, who are
trying to Kill the vicious imitation
scheme of the Gas Monopoly.
With the best motives in the world,
the President would play directly into
the hands of the Gas Monopoly at the
most critical time, IL he should now for
ward his one-man message to Congress.
The President has been told this, and
understands it. The fact that be has
permitted to be given out that he viii
not send his District recommendations
at the opening of the session, and that
he may even not send them at all. is
to be accounted reason for hopefulness
by people who want the gas steal
stopped. If the Congressional friends
OF the District will press their efforts,
and if the people viii keep themselves
out of the trap which the Gas Monopoly
is setting, the victory viii be won in
the biggest fight ever made against cor
poration domination in this District.

TOO MUCH GAS FROM MOTOR
CARS

Any resident of our American cities
who has not noticed the odors from
automobiles viii have had his attention
called to them scores of times by more
observing neighbors. The tariff, wom-
ans rights, the sixteen puzzle, Merry
Widow hats-these are subjects that
have lately had vogue, and may con-
tinue to occupy the general mind on
occasion. Bun the smells of autocars
are occasion for unintermittent discus
sion.
We all know the odors are disagree
able Many of US know they may be
dangerous. Two crews were success
lively disabled in a submarine lately be-
cause of a leaky exhaust-valve on the
petrol engine. Several cases of poison
ing in the open air have occurred
through fumes from the exhaust-pipe Of
such a vessel carrying to another sub
marine moored alongside or into the
cabins of the ship which was charging
its accUmulators. As a writer in the
British Medical journal says, therefore,
it is not surprising to be told that po-
licemen on &aty regulating traffic at
crossings much used by automobiles
have complained of illness.
But there = no occasion in all this to
pronounce pOwer-driven carriages enc

trary, there are incidentals to this dis
cussion which indicate that the evil can
be readily corrected; that it has been

Paris has practically eliminated it by
making the offending chauffeur directly

has made it almost unheaid of in Cen

it is frequent enough in other sections
of Manhattan. In Washington the ma

ANY effort on the part of officers of

would be hut a meaningless term If it

Yesterday, in view of the newspaper
comment regarding the Presidents or
