Studying the Eskimo.

Capt Ejnar Mikkelsen, the Arctic
explorer who has his eye on Amer
lea in hopes to interest some enthu-
siast in his scheme TO drift across
the Pole, evidently forgets that
Americans take some pride in man
named Peary. And besides, this is
no year for Arctic subscriptions.
There is too much frost near home,
and some people who last year
burned dollars are now counting
their pennies.
This is not intended to detract
from the value of the captains
work. Though he may never reach

elected at the same time as Repre-
sentatives.
Whether Congress can concern it.
self with the doings Of campaign
committees which raise money for
election Of officers other than Rep
resentatives, is close question.
Each house is the judge of the
qualifications and claims of its
members or of persons claiming
election; and from this there is no
appeal Congress can without ques-
ton undertake regulation of cam
paign committees, and enforce pub
licity of the financial arrangements
of such committees, when the cleo
ton of Representatives is involved,
directly, as part of the business
of the committees. But is is diff
cult to secure effective publicity
concerning an election in which ma
tionaI, State aud county committees
are all involved, when the Congress
sional power only extends 10 the
committee which seeks to influence
results in more than one State.
That is the extent of the power
claimed for Congress in the Mccall
bill, Just reported.
1t is plain that if publicity con-
corning campaign contributions is
to be worth while, it must be Sc
cured by cooperation of State and
Federal powers. The best Federal
law that can be enforced Will re-
quire to be supplemented by a
searching and rigorous State enact
ment, if the public is to get the in
formation which it ought to have
concerning the identity of the inter
ests which have money interest IN
election results.

Publicity of Campaign Funds.

The lawyers explain that the
power of Congress over elections is
a very limited and indirect one, save
only as to those elections at which
members of the House of Repre-
sentatives are chosen. Under the
theory of the Constitution, the Sen
ators are agents of the States, to
be chosen by the State Legislatures,
and to represent the sovereignties
Of the States. They were originally
designed to maintain a relationship
somewhat similar to that of ambas-
sadors from their respective States,
though that fiction has long since
persisted except in its effect on their
status as to election.
Likewise. the President is chosen
by electors. and these represent the
States as distinguished from the
people. Congressional power over
elections is restricted to control of
pollings to choose Representatives
who are theoretically the only strict
ly popular agents in the Govern
ment.
But this power over the choice of
Representatives is, in turn, so wide
that Congress claims the right abso-
lutely to dictate the last detail of
the conduct of an election at which
Representatives are chosen. Thus il
may, by prescribing the manner OF
choosing Representatives indirectly
dictate the method and machinery
of choosing every State, county,
city, or township officer who is

THE BUILDERS.

All are architects OF Fate.
Working in these walls OF time.
Some with massive deeds and great
Some with Orn5 ments Of rhyme.
Nothiag useless IS, or low;
Each thing iG its place is best;
And Hhat seems but IDLE show
Strengthens and supports the rest
For the structure that we raise,
Time Is with materials filled;
Our todaYs and yesterdays
Are the blocks with when Fe build.
Truly shape and fashion these:
Leave no yaWning gaps between;
Think not. because no man sees,
Such things Will remain unseen
In the elder days of Art.
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part:
For the e-ods see everywhere
Let US dc cur work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen.
Make the house where goos may dwell
Beautiful, entire, and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete.
Standing in these walls of Time.
Broken stalrWaNS. where the feet
Stumble as they seek 10 climb.
Build today. then. strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find is place
Thus alone can we attain
To those tuTretS wnere the eve
Sees the world as one vast plain
And one bOundless reach Of sky.

True Beneficence.

President Eliot, of Harvard, draws
attention to his annual report to
the beuefcent effects of the Carne-
gle Foundation, a matter in which
Washington will have special inter
est as the headquarters of the en-
terprise. The benefits of this great
philanthropy are received not only
by professors and their families in
the form of pensions, welcomed as
a pecuniary recognition of long and
faithful services" but by the col
leges and universities themselves.
DR.. Eliot sums up the new situa-
ton a. follows:
The Foundation makes possible the
retirement In a cOnsiderate and salts
factory way Of old teachers whose use
fulness is impaired, and so keeps IaCul-
ties fresh and vigorous in their mem
bership; and II attracts TO college and
university service capable young men
who we're formerly deferred by natural
approximations concerning the means Oh
properly supporting themselves and
their families.
Moreover, trustees need no longer be
afraid 10 call to their service elderly
men-nen of fifty years OF age, for ex-
ample They used TO feel that such a
man could give them only ten or fifteen
years OF first-rate service, TO be fol-
lowed, in all probability, by formida-
bic number Of years Of impaired serY-
ice Since the Carnegie pensions. they
need no longer apprehend the unprofit-
able appendix to the years Of distin-
guished service.
Mr.. Carnegie may be a poor golfer
and an Indifferent speller, but in
consideration of the good he is do
ing the world by means of his
Foundation he has a strong claim
upon the distinction of being the
leading philanthropist of the times.

Not Yet Too Late.

In the report of the Washington
5choolhOuse Commission - bearing
the signatures of Superintendent
Stuart. Supervising Architect Tay-
lor, and Engineer Commissioner
Morrow-these conclusions are pre-
scented:
It is noticeable that on the inspec-
lions Of the commission, the best school
buildings were found where a peTma-
nent municipal or school architect is
employed. II is believed to be
better adapted to the Washington situa-
tlon 10 have an organization similar 10
that In Boston, Is appropriations for
new buildings in Washington become
available annually and in varying
amounts The architect should be given
supervisory authority over local archi-
teCtS who may utilize their force in the
preparation OF plans subject to his SUI
perViSiOu, similar TO the way the work
Is now done in the office OF the In
sQectOr Of Buildings. when the appro-
priatiOn Is sufficient to allow for the
compensation of an architect. The
commission recommends that the or
ganization of the Architects office be
only large enough to provide for the
keeping Of plans and records, and for
this supervisory work.
The District of Columbia appro-
priation act, as reported TO the
: nate, provides on page 65:
Trot the plans and specifications for
school buildings shall be prepared under
the supervision of the Inspector OF
Bull yings for the District OF Columbia,
and shall be approved by the Commis-
sioners of the District and shall be
constructed by the Commissioners In
conformity Herewith.
1t is not now too late 10 change
the bill to give effect to the recon-
rnendations of the commission. If
that be done, not only viii the
schools be served, the children
given the steady influence of good
design. and a most unsatisfactory
confusion eliminated from the law,
but the Office Of the Inspector of
Buildings will be relieved of some
of the work for which now its force
is believed 10 be inadequate

A Plea for Shirt Sleeves.

Shirt sleeves. says the Hon. Fran
els Burton Harrison. of New York,
are a good enough costume to work
in. "a good costume to fight IN, II
need be" If Mr.. Harrison had his
way, the President would go down
to the front door of the White
House in shirt sleeves and carpet
Slippers and greet all callers under
picture of the old Oaken bucket
done in bright-colored yarn, and
have a few T. DIS to spare. so that
the diplomats could sit out on the
back doorsteps and talk things over
map-to-man fashion, as they do at
the city yards during dinner hour.
Mr.. Harrison has a true back
woods dislike for people who wear
fine clothes and don't live in flats.
If he had his way, ambassadors
would work their passage across
the ocean on a cattle steamer, and
then save the country more money
by taking in dodgers. TO let-Un-
furnished front side room; nice and
sunny; suitable for quiet gentle
man; apply American embassy
Mr.. Longworth, as an Administra-
ton spokesman, aroused Mr.. Harri-
son bv remarking during the debate
on the diplomatic appropriation
bill that the only reason why the
Germans objected to Dr. Hill was
that his private fortune was too
small. The New York Congressman
cannot see that it is the business of
an American ambassador to provide
free lunches to hangers-on at the
foreign courts. His ideal diplomat
Is a man with his coat off, glad to
have YOU sit down with him and
nick a herring and have cup OF
tea. and possibly hold the baby while
the Iadv of the house retires to
| the kitchen to see If there's rind
of cheese or a wedge of pie left
| over from the last diplomatic re-
ception. As for the American who
dares 70 wear court dress, 1t would
seem that jail is too good for him.
Mr.. Harrison should have talk on
this Doint with his esteemed fellow
citizen, Lillian Bell, who once saw an
American envoy extraordinary and
minister pleniPotentiary taken for
a butler. and ordered to have Lady
Mazuma's carriage around, and be
ouicIx about IL, or he might fall
asleep.
Congressman Harrison may yet
have his wish. If the country pro-
vides its representatives at foreign
! courts with houses, then the ideal
ambassador can sit ct the parlor
window on Sunday with his feet on
the sill and his shirt sleeves rising
like Carrara columns on either side
of the colored supplement. If he
can smoke a cOrncOb, so much the
better for democracy. He wouldn't,
maybe couldn't, do such things in a
fat. but in an embassy of his own
ne could be as primitive as he
pIeases. There is no reason why, on
a dull day, he shouldn't take the
monograph to the window and
please the kids and the peeIers or
pendarmes. Once started on his
plebeian way, let him go the limit,
