Not One.

One branch of our city council is
now considering the District budget
for the next fiscal year. AT the out
set and all along the line it viii be
brought nose to nose with this
dilemma.
If needed permanent improve
ments, such as the reclamation of
the Anacostia fats, are to be paid
for from current revenues, the
money therefor must be taken from
the schools. the Police Department,
and every other branch Of the Dis
trict government.
So far. Congress has chosen to
cripple the government rather than
draw on its credit. This year the
people Of the District ask:
How many Representatives and
Seps tors serving on the two Dis
trict Committees would propose
such a program for their home
towns?
Judging by the history Of those
towns. tho answer is prompt:
Not one.

Members of House
Cruel and Harsh TO
Mr.. Crumpacker

Members OF the House were cruel TO
Representative Crumpacker Of Indiana,
while he was explaining the provisions
OF the bill his committee has reported
for the taking Of the next census. They
made him look tired and carewOrn.
Crumpacker had climbed out OF the
buried recesses Of the rooms devoted to
the Committee on Census, and had
fOu I'd bis way TO his seat IN the House.
he was loaded down with legal lore,
and ore about how to take a census.
He sed this lore and one gesture in

The members. however. asked him
about Guam, Porto Rico. and the canal

and badgered him with suggestions.

FOR BANKS
IN CERTIFI CATES
Failure of Public to Cash
Is a Harvest for
FinancierS.

The financial shaFps are now trying
TO calculate how much profit the ma
tional banks have made from the issue
Of clearing house certificates and cert
fed checks. such as were used at the
height or the money panic.
From Milwaukee comes the statement
that, although for a long time the banks
have been asking holders Of these Sc
curities TO bring them IN and get real
money, there IS sun over $4,000 Of them
outstanding.
One Of the Missouri river cities sends
the story that the banks were paying
In cash for three weeks before tho CON-
mUnity realized the fact or seemed 10
care about It. The banks resumed specie
payment without saying anything about
# IN order rot TO encourage a rush for
cash.
The result was that the resumption
had been accomplished and business re-
stored to q solid basis before the town
actually knew s. AS soon as people
discovered that they could cash their
certified checks at any moment they lost
interest IN doing 50 and many OF them
are still abroad.
one city reports that the banks are
assured Of 8 large profit on this cir
CulatiOn because the people are holding
out a great many Of the checks as
souvenirs. Efforts 20 get them IN have
failed entirely.
1t Is said that the profit on these
checks will IN many towns run as high
as 8 per cent or the total amounts IS
sued.

Foraker Now Sleeps
With One Ear Open
For Fatal Message

The fates seem to be against Senator
FoTaker-sOmerimes
The other day the OhIOan. who is rco-
ognized as the dearest enemy Of the
Chief Executive, was Il.-.-ing a force
ful and earnest reply TO the Presidents
statement IN denial Of the charge that
Government patronage has been used
for political purposes. He had just
reached a dramatic point In his state
ment when the Senate door swung open,
and the announcement resOUEded
through the chamber:
"a message from the President OF the
United States"
Everybody laughed except the Ohioans
who sank into his seat for the presenta-
ton OF the message, and never after
ward pulled himself together sufficiently
TO inject his OId-ume yigOr into his i'd
dress.
Yesterday the Senator was on the floor
making earnest inquiries about a certain
bill he said he wasn't opposed 20 the
bill, but he did want TO know about II.
He was In the midst Of his statement
when, precisely as On the previous Oc-
c9giOn. the Presidents assistant Secre-
tary opened the door, was taken under
the escort of a dOorkeepers and the an
nouncement again echoed through Lh6
chamber:
"A message from the President Of
the United States"
This time It was too much for the
'risibles" of even the Senator himself,
who recognized that the joke was on
him. Senator Foraker turned very red.
but joined in the laugh which bent the
Senatorial proprieties 10 the point OF
breaking.

Back to the Pie-COunter.

Good administration or party
spoils?
That choice is to be made by the
Republican leaders Of this Congress.
It is precipitated by the prospective
employment Of extra clerks re-
quired for the next census. If the
party larks to the faithful bench
man out among the rank and file it
i7viH give the opposition fine text
for an appeal to every other voter
class Of the voters. On the other
hand, it would be hard to find a
worse time to offend the men who
gather in the faithful at the polls.
The issue has been sldIlfully
clouded. Argue the party men:
If Congress says nothing what
ever on the subject it is possible
for the President, under the origi-
nal civil service act of 1883, to in
clude these clerks within its safe
guards. Any plea that the clerks
shall be employed only after a com
petitive examination is, therefore,
easy TO deny. But the law does
better than keep still on the sub
ject. It goes far enough to provide
that there shall be an examination,
and that it shall 0e conducted by
the Civil Service Commission. What
more could even the doctrinaire de-
