DICKENS WATCH AND A
LOCK OF HAIR.

The exhibition before the Dickens
Fellowship of Philadelphia of a watch
once worn by Charles Dickens, in which
was a lock of hair-nO one knows
whose-sives rise to some reasonable,
though sentimental, reflections Lovers
of Dickens are world -wide-wherever
the English language is spoken his hold
exists and is spreading. His work ars
being translated into more and mC-o
foreign languages
What has all this to do with Dickens
watch and the. lock of hair in it one
may well and properly ask. 1t has
this to do with it-that Dickens, pre-
eminently the novelist of Christmas,
whose bells and holly, whose mistletoe
and spice, whose turkey and pudding
whose wondrously round and caressing
spirit of Christmas is like the inspira-
ton of good wine, as a man is already
fast becoming a memory not easy to
realize. Whose hair-whether child's 5
or sweetheart's-was that he carried
in his watch? Is the head on which
once 1t grew now mOldered and pow
dered in the cold earth? Or does he
or she still live, and where?
The owner of the watch has vainly
sought answers to these questions.
Dickens lives in his books, the ghosts
of his times and Of his characters clus-
ter thicllly about him, but his earthly
loves, the treasured hair Of his child
perhaps, the inward endearment of his
great heart, have lost their identity
The lesson is for the young man re
joicing in his strength. -
The Washington times., 1908-12-13
STRANGE BEGINNING
OF FOOLSCAP PAPER

Foolscap paper, this is a strange
phrase, whose origin has puzzled many.
From an OLD record it appears that
Charles 1 Of England granted numerous
monopOlies TO obtain money for mis- pur-
poses, Independently OF the parliament
ary grants, among others, the manufac-
ture OF paper. The watermark Of the
best paper OF the time was the royal
arms Of England. The consumption Of
this article was great and large for
tunes were made by those who had Dur
chased the exclusive right to vend IT.
This. among other monOpolies, was set
aside by the parliament that brought
Charles to the sCaffOld; and by Way of
showing contempt for the King they or
Idered the royal arms to be removed from
the paper and a fool with his cap and
bells substituted. 1t is now more than
go years since the fools cap was taken
from the paper, but still the paper OF
the size which the revolutionary parlia-
ment ordered for their journals bears
the name OF the watermark placed there
as an indignity to King Charles.-Port-
land OregOnian.

ONE-MAN RULE PROPAGANDA
a FAILURE.

The Washington Gas Monopoly has
signally failed in its flank movement
against reform. Its scheme was clever
but even the colossal effrontery of this
overfed octopus was not equal to the
task Of fOoling the people to the finish
The project of legislating out of Office
the present Board of Commissioners OF
the District of Columbia, in order that
the Gas Trust might be freed from
their insistence on reform, and also in
order that future executives might
have in mind the lesson of gas grab
power, has signally failed.
The sad truth Is that nobody Is pay
ing the least attention to the proposal
to make over the District government
for the accommodation of Mr.. Mclean
his Gas Trust, and his newspaper. Nc
bill has been introduced, and nobody
has been found willing to place the
mark of the gas meter on himself by
introducing it. Members of the Dis
trict Committees of both houses have
been dragOOned with letters and eircu-

THE NEWS OF DR.. NEHL'S
APPOINTMENT.

Readers Of the Sunday issue Of The
Washington Times knew seven days
ago that the President had appointed
Dr. Charles P. Nein to investigate the
Office Of the local Inspector of Build
ings. Had those same readers waited
upon the two of our contemporaries
which appear in the morning to print
the Presidents letter Of appointment
they must have marked time exactly
seven full days. Our third contem-
pOrary saved itself from such record
by the advantage of half a day, pub
fishing the letter yesterday afternoon.
Half a day is a hundred years in the
world of news. 1t was enough for the
. Sunday evening issue of this paper to
beat its contemporaries of the next
morning. The following six full days
was unimportant. Today's paper Will
Justify itself likewise, and next Sun
days, and that of the Sunday after.
News is news only when it is hot-and
the seven-day newspaper viii be new
and lasting proof of it.
DR.. NeiI is now to begin work. For
his own sake and the Districts he must
steer clear of the trackless marshes of
public hearings. They are not the
means of getting at the facts. Some
times the truth struggles up in spite
of them, but it is always a struggle.
The best means is to go into the Office
and find out.
The President and the people of the
Capital want to know how workmen
B can lose their lives in three buildings
within a few. months while a Building
Inspectors Office looks on; where the
blame lies-with the present Inspector,
with his associates, or with Congress
and how the situation is to be bettered.
Does anyone suppose this knowledge is
easiest to obtain by summoning sub

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
CONGRESS: THEIR FEUD.

Parliament and the King never did
get on very well together until they
had reached a determination as TO
which was boss. Nowadays, parliament
is the government and the King Is 4
nominal sovereign. The tendency in
Britain Is TO minimize the executive
and aggrandize the legislatures func-
ton. In the United States the oppo-
site tendency prevails
Here in the United States we have
had spasms of domination now by the
Legislature and now by the Executive; /;
but on the whole the tendency has been
toward giving the Executive a larger
and larger place in the Governmental
scheme. Theodore Roosevelt has brought
the Congress to an estate which at
times Is pitiable. He has dictated to it
and has bullied it. Because he has had
the people at his back, he has been able
TO treat it with as little consideration
and as much contempt as he chose.
The nation has come to assume that
the Executive must be a sort Of sec
tion foreman to Congress, TO drive it
into reluctant earning OF its wages.
All this is unfortunate for Congress; ;
vet it is small wonder that Congress
has fallen low. Congress seems too
often to seek the way not to do things.
It is forever proving that the desirable
is the impossible. It hides behind the
Constitution, questions its own powers,
minimizes its own function, and wants
to dodge responsibility. Naturally, to
vigorous and determined Executive
ald under pressure of the tremendous
problems of these times, this attitude
Of timidity affords opportunity to seize
the power Congress Is too impotent OF
tco cowardly to WELD.
We are confronted with a real feud
between President and Congress, in the
closing weeks of the Administration.
Such a clash viii serve the purpose OF
reminding Congress how badly it stands
with the country; possibly it will even
suggest to some thoughtful men in
Congress the true reason for this bad
standing. There are big things to be
done; things which the country de-
mands. Such of them as have been
achieved already have come as the re-
suit of EXecutiyE belaboring Of the
Legislative branch. There is every in
dication that future accomplishments
viii come by much the same process.
Congress can't expect to retain its
powers and its standing with the COM
munity unless it employs those powers
where there is need for their employ
ment. Unless it comes to realize this,
we shall see the Capitalization of power
in the Executive continue and increase
indefinitely.

STATE NEVER UNDER
ANY FOREIGN FLAG

The State of Washington recently Gel
ebrated the nineteenth anniversary OF
its admission to the union. In an ad-
dress the president OF the State Histori-
cal Society brought out the fact that the
great northwest has never been under
the domination Of any foreign power.
Said he:
"Au other portions Of the United
States have at one time or other been
ruled by one of the European countries.
You, as children Of the great State OF
Washington. may be proud OF the fact
that you live IN the only place in the
United States that has always been
American territory, and over which no
other flag save the Stars and Stripes
has ever flOated."
