The Congressional Smiths.

Senator Smith, newly sent to the upper
house of Congress from South Carolina.
is having trouble with his mail. He COM
plains that he is not getting all that is
coming to him. lie will soon learn that
the lack of letters is not the least of a
legislators worries. and often he will
wish that most of his mail went astray.
But that is beside the mark. The point of
Importance is that the South Carolina
senator brings the roll of congressional
Smiths up to seven, three in the Senate
tributing the seven Smiths are Michigan,
which gives two; Maryland. Texas, Iowa,
California and South Carolina. Thus an
association composed of the congressional
Smiths would be widely representative,
sectionally. and il may be that many an
important legislative question could be
decided 10 the country's interest as a re-
suit of coherent action on the part of
these seven. SO closely linked by a strong
bonl of sympathy. Michigan, by the way
has always been somewhat liberal In its
bestowal of Smiths upon the country At
one time there were three serving stimuli
taneously In the House. The newly seated
Smith may be confused for a short time
after his legislative advent, but he soon
learns how to combine dignity and dis
tinction by the use of all the names be-
slowed upon him at baptism. Thus the
three-jointed Smith is regarded as the
only normal Smith in Congress- and soon
the public will grow accustomed to the

The Districts Roads.

Washington, long famous for its
smoothly paved streets, is about as poor
ly equipped with good roads through the
semi-rural sections as country town
Outside Of the parks there is only one
nrst-c1ass road within the District, and
that is at times inadequately maintained
Most of the highways are little better
than the typical mud-pikes of Virginia
and Maryland. ''bottomess' during two
thirds of the year and rutty and rough

but here is a positive proof that they are
in large part of the local territory of
possibly no value whatsoever in the pro-
lection of property; not for any lack of
numbers, but because they cannot be
driven over the neglected highways.
Every roadway in the District of CO.
lumba should be a model. 1t should be
constructed upon scientific principles and
maintained by efficient workers, with lib

a situation even more difficult than this.
Men are themselves doing the very things
they are condemning in the opposition.
Their criticisms and performances do not
trot together. Hence Is raised the aues-
ton as TO their sincerity or their sagaclty.
The democratic proposition is that Mr..
Cannon should not possess the power as
Speaker TO name the committees of the
House that il should be vested in a COM
mittee especially organized for the pur-
pose. Such power. IL is conterF6ed, makes
he Speaker an autocrat. He is enabled
by ii to place his friends where they
may he strongest in carrying out policies
10 which lie gives support Down with
the one-man power. Up with the power
of the many.
And yet the very men shouting this
cry against Mr.. Cannon turn around and
bestow. try TO do SO. one-man power
on their own leader. Mr. Clark. They
insist that he shall say what committee
assignments they are to accept. Mr.. I'm
derwood. Mr.. Clark's chief of staff, puts
himself unreservedly into the hands of
his leader and will do precisely as bid
den. This is very fine for friendship
and for discipline but how is it for logic
or consistency?
1t is easy TO sec what these men would
do If they were in the majority and Mr..
Clark in the chair They would put
themselves at his service then just as
they now are doing. They would en-
power him to name the committees, and
would abide by his selections without
protest. Trusting him implicitly while
IN the minority. they would trust him
as Speaker. They would want to control
the House through him. and would know
that in order to do so they would have
to give him authority and elbow ROOM
And Mr. Clark? Would he decline the
power? Would he ask TO have it passed
on 10 committee. in order that he
might not be tempted to play the part
OF an autocrat? Would he? Mr.. Clark

The Tariff Debate.

The tariff hill is now back in the House.
and the question relates 10 the length Of
the debate TWO points are TO be con
sidered: Cd fair play. and g. economy Of
time.
On the first point IL may nc said that
the democrats are entitled TO hearing.
There was no reason why they should
have been consulted in tho framing Of
the. hill That was the duty OF the re-
pubicans But that duty having been
discharged. it is in order now for the
democrats TO state their position. not only
toward the bill reported. but on the whole
tariff subject They should have oppor-
tunity 10 offer amendments and speak to
them. in reason of course. 1t would not
be fair in them to improve such IN OPP
portunity for purposes of delay II such
q spirit should manifest itself. the ma
lority could, and should. suppress il.
The second point turns upon The first
Fair play in the House means economy Of
time. If the democrats OF the House
should be denied the proper hearing. their
brethren of the Senate could. and would
resent it. The rules of the Senate favor
liberal. not TO say unlimited, debate, and
the Payne bill could be subjected to very
hard shedding as to time in that body
minority in the House will leave no ex
cuse for minority resentment Gin the
Senate.
Two delays in the Senate when the
tariff was under revision are compare
lively recent. and both instructive. In
1880 the Mckinley bill was halted until
within a few weeks of the November cleo
tions-too late for its supporters to ex
plain it to the voters. The democrats.
used as an obstruction a so-called force
bill which the republicans of the House
had passed. In 1894 Mr.. Quay. with
speech which he threatened to draw out
to the crack of doom, compelled the demo-
Gratis to accept his figures on some fea-
lures of the metal schedule. For days
he spread files of typewriter copy on his
desk, and the sight produced surrender
on the part of the opposition.
There should be fair play on both sides
now. The republicans should take no step
smacking in the slightest of gag rule. and
the democrats take none smacking in the
slightest of mere obstruction. What the
country wants, and is entitled to. is
debate on the Payne bill long enough to
develop both the strength and the weak
ness of that measure. For il has both
Something here and there, we may all be
sure, has been inserted for trading
purposes, and with a view of developing
the opposition. No tariff bill was ever
without this feature, and no tariff debate
was ever conducted without advantage to
the bill under consideration.

HIGHWAYS Not for Sport.

From the Boston Herald.
The warning of the state highway COM
mission against the violation Of laws and
ordinances in automobile road races will
not interfere with the full enjoyment of
legitimate automobiling. Speed contests
as a sport may still be held IL promoters
and enthusiasts are sufficiently interested
TO provide the necessary tracks. But the
highways belong to the public, and should
not, even occasionally. be monopOlized
for any sport. Tests of endurance in all
the legal road powers of an automobile
may be made Speed competitions within
the limits of the law should be as inter-
esting as tests of machines and drivers
for all practical road service as are con-
tests which put premium on speed
forbidden by law. Automobiling for BUSH
ness or pleasure will not suffer by the
enforcement of the law. Automobiling
as sport has no place Of right on the
highway. and its devotees should not
complain if they are forced to seek spe-
cial grounds. as other sports have been
required to do.

Divisions and Inconsistencies

Former Senator Lindsay of Kentucky
said after Mr.. Bryan's second defeat for
the presidency: Democrats will never act
together until they think together"
The remark is as true now as then.
Some men can be induced 10 accept a
party platform to which they do not sub
scribe, simply for regularity's sake. They
comfort themselves with the idea that il
the party wins they viii be able TO make
their objections count when the program
for the redemption OF party promises is
being arranged. Sometimes such men
succeed They organize pressure. and
bring 1t to bear in the interest either OF
an abandonment of an issue, or of its
compromise. But when they fail. row

faith are freely banded about.

The Naval Gun Foundry Force.

When it was proposed last December to
| reduce the naval gun foundry force by
ABOUT one-third in consequence of giving
some OIL the work to private establish
ments. a protest was carried to the then
Secretary of the Navy urging that the
work be kept in Washington. not merely
| for the sake of the mechanics under the
government employment who would be
afected by the proposed reduction. but as
means of maintaining here in Washing
| ton great and effective shop. The ap-
peal was needed to the extent OF postpon-
ing the proposed reduction to the LIST of
April. Now that time is about at hand.
and once more the navy yard machinists
are menaced with a reduction which,
while not as great as was contemplated in
December, owing to the fact that addi-
tional work has been begun at the yard,
would. nevertheless. be sufficient to cause
serious setback to the industrial con-
ditions i'll Washington and handicap for
the gun foundry as an institution.
The arguments advanced in December to
induce the postponement of the grant of
work to private establishments remain as
strong today as then. 1t is claimed on be-
half of this expedient that the government
will thereby encourage the maintenance of
gun-making plants. 1t is still to be ques-
toned whether this is as important as
the maintenance of a government estab-
lishment fully capable of producing all
the naval ordnance needed.
Secretary Meyer is confronted with the
problem at the outset of his career as the
head of the Navy Department. 1t is to
| be hoped that he will view the matter
| broadly, with full consideration for the
absolute necessity of keeping up to the
highest efficiency not only the mechanical
plant at the navy yard, but the personnel
necessary to get full value out of the
| machines.
There can be no doubt that this work
can be done quite as cheaply in Wash
ington as elsewhere. The naval gun foun-
dry has no dividend-paying requirements.
! The scale of wages is approximately the
same as elsewhere, and the only material
difference is with reference to hours.
| holidays and annual leave. 1t Is believed
that in the long run the conditions under
vi. .Hcl work here in the navy yard
co., 10 better workmanship than in
| private employment. In any case, the
| concentration of the work In Wash
| ington insures that perfect uniformity
| which is absolutely necessary in any me-
chanical output of this character.
The people of Washington are. Of
course, deeply interested in this matter.
and are disposed to present their most
| earnest appeals against any disturbance
of Industrial conditions here. Indeed. with
regard for the government welfare and
continued prosperity of the workers. they
are trusting that the postponed order will
be finally Cancelled before the LIST of April

We know full we'll that spring is here,
Cnmoved by chill reminders that
Belated winds are harsh and drear.
Though SHOWS may gather DER the field
Where yellow blooming bravely strives
Our vernal hope we shall not yield
When Gladys hat so fairly thrives.
No violet that decks the glade,
No Haunting jonauil is more neat

About her smile demurely sweet.
And so, though storms may rage about,
This dainty prophecies stands pat;
'Tis gentle spring beyond a doubt

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

art-in a restricted sense-will be retained
At present this means that all works Of
art twenty years old may be importef
free of duty. 1t would be better. in Oul
opinion to remove the restriction wholly
since no one interested seems to ask fol
any, but the twenty-year limit will admit
some of the greatest masterpieces OF tht
world and be of immense value to the cul
ture of this country. There is nothing
which so civilizes and cultivates mankind
as knowledge of an appreciation of thu
beautiful in art. Already we have two
