very generously recognized this in causing
the construction of two majestic ofhce
buildings for the greater convenience OF
senators and representatives. The ma
tional legislators were liberal in giving
just as they were liberal in giving them
selves 80 per cent increase of salary ana
illiberal in denying 20 per cent increase TO
government employees. Congress neeoed
enlarged quarters, and the country Is
glad of the construction of the two splen-
did buildings on Capitol Hill. 1t is proud
of them However, the legislative branch
of the government Is not the only branch
that needs enlarged quarters.
A step has been made in the right d1rec-
ton by the appropriation OF money LOT
the purchase of the squares bounded by
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, the Mall. 18th ana
18th streets, and provision for several
new structures notwithstanding, Con-
gress needs more foresight than it has
shown in the past in providing for fed
eral buildings at the capital.
Congress in various ways has properly
evinced solicitude for the public health.
Sanitary measures are assuming larger
Importance. The public health is being held
more and more to be a question OF ma
tional state and municipal concern. Ii
is proper in this connection to remark
that hundreds of government employees
in Washington work under insanitary
conditions in crowded workrooms-work-
rooms that are deficient in air and light
Such conditions ought to be and aSSuredly
in time will be corrected.

Shabby Government Quarters

The article in The Sunday Star concern
ing some of the mean rented Quarters in
which much of the national business is
conducted in Washington should shock
the dignity of the nation. Besides the
unfitness of the whole thing. il is ex-
travagant. the sum of the rentals being
the interest on more money than would
be required for the erection of ample
buildings.
1t would seem that no argument would
be needed to impress Congress with the
greater dignity and economy of owning
suitable buildings for the conduct of gov
eminent business. Yet the argument has
often fallen on deaf ears of men who
are in other ways shrewd and patriotic
public business may be transacted with
greater economy, efficiency and dispatch
is always met with hostility from some
legislators, who think to make a hit
with their constituents.
1t is inconceivable that there is any
constituency in the United States which
desires that the government should run
its business in an unbusinesslike way.
II is inconceivabIe that there is any con-
stitueney in the United States which does
not desire that the capital of the greatest
nation on the earth should be the greatest
capital.
The building program of the government
at the capital has never kept pace with
the governments necessities. Congress

1912 Their platform for that year will
be their record under President Taft, and
he as personality will be their very
best asset. His denomination will be a
certainty. and his reelection should be a
strong probability.
But at this point the enthusiast again
asserts himself. He sees Mr.. Roosevelt
again in the saddle in 1916, and that
year again elected President. Still there
is restraint. Only one term is mentioned
for Mr. Roosevelt. Why not two? Why
not three? Why not repeated elections
until Mr.. Roosevelt pays the debt of ma
ture? The vision which restores Mr.
Roosevelt to power after eight years of
retirement. or service in some minor Of
flee, should be strong enough to fix him
there for life. If the Roosevelt habit
is still strong enough in 1916 to control
the electorate, the country will not be
likely to recover from it while the man
himself lives.
Mr. Roosevelt is wiser than his wor-
WINGED that his work in the White House
is done. He is going out to take up new
duties. They are not as yet defined.
They may be political. They are likely
to be important. and to keep him in the
public eye. He has the knack of sue
ceeding and success will probably con-
tinue with him. He is still young. vigor-
Gus and tremendously in earnest, and pub
lie questions interest him beyond all
others He will want his say, will have
it. and be entitled to it. But never again
the presidency.

Maine.

The claims are of record, and today
will decide between them. It's a poor
chairman of state committee, utterly
unworthy of his job, who, for publica-
tion and not necessarily as an expression
of good faith is not confident on the eve
of election. He must speak up, with an
air of meaning it. In this way both of
the Maine chairmen have carried the
state A republican victory will cause no
stir in the country at large, but republi-
can defeat will. 1t is true, as stated, that
the state questions have figured princi-
pally in the campaign, leaving the ma
tional questions to be fought for between
now and November, but a democratic
victory in Maine in a presidential year
on any account will jar the losers. IL
it comes it will likewise increase republi-
can activity everywhere, from New York
to California.

Passing of the Brick Sidewalk.

There is campaign in Baltimore
against the brick sidewalk-that relic of
a bygone time. The complaint is that the
old brick footway is rough. stumpy, I'M
slightly and dangerous Altogether it is
a poor pavement in comparison with mod
eru substitutes. The Baltimore American
Star says:
Slow and sure is an old characterize ton
that can be justly applied to Baltimore
without our being ashamed of the quail
tiles. The city's pace may be in more
even step with that of the tortoise than
that of the hare, but more often than
not we keep company with the tortoise
10 the end of the journey, and come out
in the same place that he did-first. Bal
iimores slow progress is so sure that
this city makes fewer mistakes than we
dare TO say. any other American commune
~ that is genuine city. But, as the Off
Gals at the city hall think. the time has
come when we can pull up the old rough
wobbling brick sidewalks and replace
them with the modern cement i'm full
confidence that we are not laundering in
haste"
Many miles of these old red footwalks
survive in Washington. Some are in a
good state of preservation. Others are
not so well preserved. Some are so un-
even that they are ankle twisters On
some of them the soberest citizen is
forced to initiate the gait of the citizen
who is not sober.
But they are passing and in few years
will have passed. Then the graybeard
of another time perhaps will say: Yes,
my great-grandchild, / can remember
when Pennsylvania avenue was paved
with cobblestones. when there were
fences around the public PARKS and when
the streets had brick sidewalks
