Two Fugitives Less.

Two names have been struck from the
Much desired citizens list of the Wash
ington police. With Willard Myers in
custody In this <city and Arthur Kemp
under arrest in New Orleans. confessing
his identity and willing to return for pun
ishment the local sleuths find their vol
ume of unfinished business materially di-
minished Indeed. 1t slumps straight back
to the never-forgotten Dorsey Foultz.
There may be one or two insignificant
fellows for whom the police would ex-
tend the glad hand if they hove in sight,
but they are not worth securing the
country for, and it is to be doubted II
their names can be recalled by more
than dozen people. Dorsey stands as
the shining example of evasion, and he
has been gone so long that the circum-
stances of his disappearance have faded
from the minds of all but very few.
IT is matter for congratulation that
as matters now stand probably little time
will be spent in the trial processes in
the cases of these two Offenders One
voluntarily gave himself up to the po-
lice after nearly Tour years of struggle
with his conscience. He betrayed a trust
and has suffered soreIy for his crime.
The law demands his further punish
ment and In order that the safeguards
thrown around fiduciary institutions may
not be weakened. The offense of the
other man, who hid until chance brought
him to book, was perhaps graver. for his

with the main thoroughfare of the Capitol
separating the court room from the court
offices, and with the law library huddled
into basement room absurdly dispro-
portionate to the size and Importance OF
the collection, has sufficed to cause many a
proud citizen of this country to blush for
shame upon guiding friends from abroad
through the public places of Washington.
When the site now occupied by the Ii
brary of Congress was chosen for that
purpose, with practically no dissent In
and out of Congress, the idea prevailed
that the corresponding site north of East
Capitol street would some day be taken
for the Supreme Court. There has. 1t is
true, been some reluctance on the part OF
legislators to give the court a home of its
own. owing to the frequency with which
members of the two houses have occa-
sion to attend the court. This objection,
however, fades In view of the ease with
which speedy and comfortable access be-
tween the Capitol and a detached building
can be provided as in the case of the
new Senate and House Office buildings.
With a tunnel of the same character as
those that join the Capitol with those two
structures 1t would be practically as easy
to pass from Senate or House to the
court as from one legislative chamber to
the other
Now is the time to pass this bill. 1t is
only just to the owners of the property
on the virtually pre-empted site to take
their lands without further delay. 1t Is
due to the justices of the Supreme Court
to give them commodious quarters, with
suitable surroundings, compatible with the
dignity of theiA part in the governmental
economy. Representative Littlefielf may
be confidently expected to push his meas
ure vigorously and he will have the hearty
sympathy of the entire local community,
and, 1t is to be believed, of the progress
sive members of both houses as well. The
active concern of the judges In the sue
cess of this measure may be assumed.

A Home for the Supreme Court

Representative Littleficid is doing on the
House side a work that properly balances
and supplements that which has been nm
dertaken by Senator Hepburn at the mort h
end of the Capitol. His bill, providing
for the erection of a building for the
United States Supreme Court on the site
opposite and corresponding to that occu-
pied by the Library OF Congress- is in the
same category as the Hepburn bill to ac-
quire for the government all the land
lying between Pennsylvania avenue and
the Mall. Both are necessary measures.
and both OF them must sooner or later
be adopted. Delay in each case only adds
10 the ultimate expense, while it imposes
serious hardship upon the officials and
servants of the government in the mean
time
The Littlefeld bill merely expresses in
formal terms a proposition which has
been in the minds of men In Wash
ington for years. The inadequacy of the
present Supreme Court quarters has been
painfully apparent for more than a quar-
ter of century. The spectacle of the
highest court In the country, indeed per-
haps the most important judicial body In
the world. sitting in the discarded assem-
bly, room of the Senate. poorly lighted and

Judge 'Taft's rivals should make note

AS good as the set speech was, Judge

his grade to prepare an ADDRESS giving
his views about public issues, but o1ten

ence When his discourse is broken up
by all sorts of inquiries fired at him rap
idly from all parts of crowded nan he
needs to be at himself to come out OF the
scrimmage unscathed. Judge Taft at
Cooper Union came out with flying colors
But If the meeting revealed something
of Importance to Judge Tafts rivals, II
revealed something of Importance also
to him. He now has fresh evidence OF
the two points upon which his candidacy
will be contested. What are called his
labor decisions while he was on the bench
are the subject of much discussion, and
his attitude toward the negro battalion
dismissed at Brownsville Is a tender mat
ter with colored voters in the eastern and
the middle states.
AS to the latter proposition Judge Taft's
reply last night was appropriate. and for
the time should answer. Until the Senate
has acted, or at least until reports have
been made by the Senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate the shooting up"
of Brownsville discussion of the subject
by any member of the administration
would be improper.
AS to the labor decisions, Judge Taft
shows mp desire to evade or apologize for
them but explains them in reply to criti-
csms and interpretations which he says
are unj1st. He declares himself friend
to organized labor. and all the better
friend as being opposed both to the black
list and to the boycott.

The Cost of the Canal.

The discovery that the construction of
the Panama canal will cost close upon
5000, ,OOO,O 600 instead of the S14O,O0O0OO esti-
mated two years ago will not seriously
alarm the people of this country. All they
ask Is that the work be pushed and that
there be no graft or extravaganza in con-
nection with it. They want canal,
good one, large enough to accommodate
the traffic that will flow in that direction.
They want 1t as quickly possible, COM
patible with good workmanship. They do
not want it to cost inordinately in terms
of human health and life, and they are
immensely gratified to learn that the prob
lens of sanitation have been SO we'll solved
already that with ordinary care from this
time onward it is possible to conduct the
enterprise without serious sickness within
the Canal Zone.
But the country will not brook unneces-
sary delays, long postponements pending
discussions as to ways and means, false
economies that lessen the speed of the
undertaking. If by spending 100000, 600
more the canal can be finished few years
sooner than by less expensive methods,
there win be no protest against the addi-
tional cost. This Is rich country, rich
enough to buy what it needs and to MAKE
what it wants. But 1t is not rich enough
to line the pockets of any man who does
not give value for what he gets.
There is today no apprehension regard
ing the honesty of the canal work. Every
thing is being done in the, open. The task
is under the direct charge of a body of
men of the highest integrity, led by an
officer of the army whose performances
have been such as to win for him the en-
tire confidence of all people. With this
backing of public faith the officials in
charge are in position to produce their
best results, and the records show that
they are responding to the country's ex-
pectations. The dirt is indeed flying at
Panama and the people will keep the dol
lars flying in proportion as long as they
are convinced that they are getting the
worth of their money.

Act Promptly on the Trackage Bill.

With the permanent Union station
trackage bill formally before the Senate
carrying paragraph authorizing the
construction of temporary overhead troll
ley tracks on the plaza, it is to be hoped
that no time will be wasted in testing
the sentiment of that body on the ques-
tion of the proposed general street rail-
way legislation, which heretofore it has
been proposed to add to the measure. If
there is a majority in favor of universal
transfers and a franchise tax in that
body, it should be given it's chance to
stand up and be counted. If there is not
a majority, that fact should likewise be
ascertained so that the bill can go on
its way. There can be no possible OBJ
lection to the merits of the permanent
trackage project in the main, apart, per-
haps. from some details of routes. Is
any group of senators ready to adopt the
position that the public must walk
and endure serious discomfort and much
expense if majority of the upper house
does not favor the proposed amendments?
Must the community pay this penalty for
finally securing senatorial support for
larger measure of taxes from the traction
companies and for a universal transfer
syHtem?
A filibuster on this subject cannot pos
sibly be justified. Perhaps none is con-
templated. But in view of the record Of
the past two years, wasted because of the
fruitless efforts TO amend this same meas
ure. some such maneuver has been an
ticipated this session. The rules of the
Senate grant a wide margin of power
to the single objector. 1t should, and
probably will, be the policy of those hav-
ing this bill in charge to make an early
movement, which will develop the lines
of opposition to the enactment of the
unamended measure. This will facilitate
later proceedings. in case the policy of
those favoring the amendments is to
submit eventually to a vote.
In any case the District committee is
moving in the right direction by coupling
the overhead trolley emergency provision
with the permanent trackage bill. The
District is willing to submit to this make
shift arrangement to tide over the period
of construction, but it insists that the
law authorizing it carry coincidentally a
requirement to lay permanent conduit
tracks within a distinctly specified time

Indiana.

AS Mr.. Taggart's candidate won in the
contest for chairman of the democratic
state committee of Indiana, the guess is
that Mr.. Taggart will succeed himself as
the Hoosier member of the democratic
national committee. WE'LL why not? He
has probably been cured of his anti-Bryan
notions contracted in 1904 while in New
York, and is probably ready now to help
along the whole Bryanite program. In
diana has never been good ground for
the cultivation of anti-Bryan sentiment
within the democratic ranks. The voters
will not accept him at the polls, but de-
feat seems to endear Mr.. Bryan to the
men Mr.. Hendricks and Mr.. Voorhees,
trained, first in the school of greenback-
ism and then in that of free silver.

Maryland solons, Get Busy
From the Baltimore Sun.

This practice of allowing a large por-
tion of the ninety days to which the ses-
sion Is limited by the constitution to pass
before beginning work is an ancient and
a very bad custom and should be stopped.
If there is not enough work to occupy the
legislature for ninety days, then the con-
stitution should be amended SO as to
shorten the session. But there Is enough
work for every day. and when the legis-
lature is not in session it is neglecting its
work and running the risk Of infinite
harm by making 1t necessary to hurry
through the work In the last week or two.
It is time for this foolishness to stop, and
for the legislature to get to work.

Taft on Capital and Labor.

From the New York Herald.
Talent for lucid exposition was dis
played In the speech delivered by Secre-
tary Taft at Cooper Union last evening.
The origin Of private property, the growth
of capital and the relations between
capital and labor. the rights and wrongs
of corporate and individual employers and
employees were presented in such form
as made the matter clear to even the
least intelligent of his hearers. His pur-
pose in selecting this topic for discussion
at the present time appe ears from the
closing words of his address. AS an
effect of the recent monetary panic he
argues that we must expect industrial de-
preston, which may be fruitful in labor
controversies, and, by inducing both sides
to adopt a more conservative and con-
ciliatory attitude, he would avoid the de-
structive struggles Of the past.
