The District and Court Costs.

To Chairman Tawney of the House
committee on appropriations the most
sincere assurances of the Districts con-
sideration and esteem! Upon just what
ground. save that the strict letter OF
statute required the District should be
compelled 10 Lear half of the burden OF
conducting t.rr far western land fraud
proceedings i. court, it would tax the
shrewdest legislator to state conVincinsly
Nothing quite as brazen in it's defiance oil
the rules of fair play and square dealing
with the District has been proposed since
the District was mulcted OF half the cost
of the atrocious blunders of the govern
ment engineers in charge of the water
works extension. In the face of siren
uous and unyielding objection to special
provision to relieve the District OF this
item. Chairman Tawney was compelled,
rather than impose this hardship, TO
skid tile whole item from the urgent de-
hciency bill. leaving no provision 10 meet
the cost of these proceedings.
The episode brings up afresh the neces-
sity of safeguarding the local interests
more securely from these occasional in
cursions into its funds. The organic act
of 1878 provided that one-half of the
cost of maintaining the capital munich
patty should be paid by the general gov
eminent. There is not one word in that
statute suggestive of intent upon the
part of the enacting Congress that the
District should on it's side pay one-haif
of the cost of maintaining the judicial
processes which. although strictly of a
federal nature, chance by the accident
of subdivision to lie within the District
of Columbia.
1t may be true that large part of
the court business here is local. But
large part is also federal The spirit OF
the organic act is unquestionably that the
District Should pay one-half of the cost
only of such court processes as are oc-
cupied in the adjustment of strictly
local cases. 1t is only by a stretch of
terms and through custom that the
Districts half goes to meet any part
of the expense OF conducting such pro-
tracted trials as the post office cases, or
the Oregon land fraud proceedings. The
District has no possible interest in the
outcome of such affairs. other than that
of a component part of the American
commonwealth. 1t already pays its
proper share of such costs in the form
of internal revenue and customs taxes.
If the government must try the west
ern land cases here it should pay for
them out of its own pocket exclusively.
The District suffers enough when such
cases are tried here by reason of the
congestion of the court calendars and the
blockading of its own legitimate business,
without enduring the imposition of a
heavy tax in addition.

Gov. Warfield reply to the charges
against him is much to be praised. 1t
possesses the supreme merit OF direct
ness. There is not the slightest sug-
gestion in it of shuffiing or equivocation.
Certain things are alleged. He declares
they are false-using that woodland calls
for proof. This brings the accuser up
standing. If the allegations are sustained.
Gov. Warfield, as man and politician. will
be hopeIessly discredted If they are not
sustained. their author will himself stand

troyersy, representing the heat of a strug-
gle for power, but comes up in cold

Money and Elections.

The country is none the wiser for the
address made by Mr.. Bryan before a
House committee yesterday in favor o.
publicity for campaign contributions and
expenses. He merely encouraged the COM
mittee with a general approval of the
proposition. That it did not need. But
when asked as to particulars for per-
fecting bill he modestly-Mr. Bryan can
be modest-left all that to others. Here
is one thing, then, that Mr.. Bryan is not
prepared off-hand to settle.
The subject is one about which much
has been written and spoken. 1t lends it
self easily to virtuous proclamation.
Among the noisiest advocates today are
men whose names are associated with
money in politics. Some are soldiers of
fortune. and some popularity believed to
have been liberal investors in times past
n political securities They may be tired
of the game. and anxious TO be protected
in future against importunement to sell or
buy. Or they may be trying to drown out
by vociferation occasional gossip about
past transactions
On the other hand, there are advocates
of the proposition who command the high
est respect. They stand for the bsst
things in our politics. and in this thing
are very much IN earnest. Mr. Mccall,
whose bill was referred to by Mr. Bryan,
is one of these.
But everybody recognizes the difficulty
of reaching an evil which everybody pro-
fesses d desire to have corrected. Money in
large sums is necessary nowadays to meet
the legitimate expenses of national cam
paigns. and campaigns are always in
charge of practical politicians. Such men
hold to the doctrine that politics is war.
and that the supreme duty of a COM
mander-in-chief is to win. They are never
nice as to means after the battle opens
The question therefore is, can they be
made SO by statute? If So rs all are
agreed. it ought 10 be done. But all are
likewise agreed that such a statute sto be
worth the page on which it is printed.
will have to be drawn with almost super
human wisdom.
One of Mr. Bryans points was well
taken, and that was that publicity should
precede the election. For an instance.
the New York World is just giving to the
public the list of those who contributed
money in large sums to Mr. Bryan's cam
paign in 1896. Had that list been printed
before election day of that year, it would
spellbinders sound ridiculous. And who
shall say that Judge Parker would not
have appeared absurd in his complaints
against his opponent in 1904 if the par
ticuars had been obtained and printed of
the interest that well-known Wall street
men were taking in his campaign?

Taste.

Why is it that some mighty truth
With vital meaning fraught
Is passed by manhood and by youth
With scarce a second thought.
In vain the sages pass their days
In sad and studious care;
And yet of slang the lightest phrase
Is echoed everywhere!
Why is it poetry sublime
And sweet symphonic strains
Give place unto some silly rhyme
Until the world complains?
And as attention backward turns
Through nature. with despair
You note that what the parrot learns
Is, first of all, to swear!
