The Auditorium.

Every present indication points to the
complete success of the project to give
Washington an auditorium for the enter
tainment of large bodies of visitors and
the holding of public cerenonials. The
incorporates of the enterprise have
pressed the plan to the point where all
that is needed to insure its fruition is the
cooperation of the people at large. To
this end meeting is to be held tomorrow
afternoon, to which the public is in
vited. in order that the details of the prof.
ect may be clearly set forth and an OPP
portunity may be-given to all corners to
subscribe for stock.
So liberal have been the subscriptions on
the part Of a comparatively few people
that IT would seem to be assured that
those with smaller means will follow the
example set and lend their support to the
work II Is for the benefit of all citizens
alike. What helps Washington helps each
individual resident. A commodious audi
forum Will insure large increase in the
number of conventions meeting here. This
Will mean large volume of business. and
a corresponding prosperity. No class of
people will fail to feel the effect
Local pride alone should suffice to make
the building of the auditorium an assured
fact. Washington does not lack in that
direction. 1t is always ready to meet
emergencies and to perform duties, and
now. after many years of delay, it has
an opportunity to equip itself with a
means to its establishment beyond rivalry
as the great national gathering place.
The names of the citizens who are
identified with the project are an assur-
ance OF the energetic prosecution of this
enterprise and of whole hearted devotion
to the local welfare. The small stock
holder will feel himself a part of the
movement equally with the men of larger
holdings. All will stand upon the COM
mon ground of meeting the city's require
ments. The more small shareholders are
enlisted the more thoroughly successful
will be the effort to give Washington
what IL needs.

Congress and Dependent Children.
From the New York Times.

cSS duu OCpCnNSAAI SAAAANA w."
From the New York Times.
At first glance it does not seem that
the care of dependent children Is a mat
ter with which the federal govern
ment could deal with either authority
or efficiency. Certainly nothing was
further from the minds of the founders
of the Constitution than that the pow
ers they provided and enumerated for
the United States government could be
made to include intervention in field
so intimately related to state and local
Jurisdiction. But the fathers, like all men
of good will sound sense and practical
bent. builded better than they knew. They
made a law for the nation which was
not only fundamental but elastic, pre-
else where precision was required and
omen to broaded construction when pre-
cision was impossible or inconvenlent.
Those who came after them, as needs
grew and conditions changed, found
means to do many things the fathers had
never thought of. For instance, education
is prima facie peculiarly thing for the
state. the town, the family; but the
United States government has not only
distributed millions of acres of land TO
the states to be sold for the establish
ment of schools. but it has created and
extended department OF education
which renders valua BILE service to schools
in all parts of the land and to the gen.
eral cause of education.

Smokers and Car Riding.

When the ideal street car is evolved,
after many years of discomforts and
complaints. provision will be made in its
construction not merely for the accom-
mediation Of those who wish to smoke
as they ride. but. those who do not want
to stand outside and yet are loath to
relinquish their cigars. For there are
some of this class. smokers who do not
time their cigar lighting with reference
to their boarding of the cars. or who
are prone to take" the first car they see

Douglas, Senator by Instruction.

The Lincoln centenary revived many de-
tails of the Lincoln-Douglas senatorial
campaign. And that was an early in
stance of instructing a legislature for SEN
ator.
Judge Douglas was filling the office of
senator from Illinois. and had A double
object in view in offering for re-
election. In addition to the senatorship
he had his eye on his party's next nomi-
nation for the presidency, which was to
be made two years later. His party &C
cepted his senatorial candidacy without
question, but wanted TO hear him on the
stump in behalf of his record So he took
the stump, and by the act practically
challenged the opposition to put up a
man against him.
The challenge was accepted and Mr.
Lincoln appeared. A great debate fol-
lowed--in some particulars the most mo-
mentous in our political history. Two very
strong men confronted each other, and
made history of tremendous consequence.
The senatorial calculation preceded the
presidential calculation. Everybody I'M
derstood that if the democrats controlled
the legislature, Judge Douglas would be
reelected senator, and that if the opposi-
ton controlled, Mr.. Lincoln would be
chosen. Every energy was exerted by both
sides to instruct the legislature, and the
democrats won. Judge Douglas succeed
ed himself by what practically was a di-
rect vote on the senatorial question. The
legislature promptly recorded the wishes
of the people as expressed in the election
of its own members.
Far more than the senatorship was of
a kp xxbn
future was. He had reached the point
where he must secure a pronounced in
dorsement at home. or go down. If de-
feated for reelection to the Senate on
the issue raised by the Nebraska in
cldent, no hope would remain to him
of leading his party in the presiden-
tial campaign of 1850. He won the SEN
atorship, but under circumstances that
weakened his hold on the national de-
mocracy, and the presidential nomination
that followed proved of no value. He
led but one wing of his party. and the
republicans carried the day. Had Judge
Douglas lost the senatorship, what would
have been the effect on the national de-
mocracy, and who would have been it's
candidate for President two years later?
He of course would have been out of the
question. But would his disappearance
have prevented the party split that took
place? Would, or would not, the party,
taking warning by Judge Douglas defeat,
have pulled itself together, and, under a
compromise leader standing on a compro-
mise platform, presented a united front
in 1850? And had Mr.. Lincoln won the
senatorship would his victory have in
creased or diminished his prestige in the
presidential field?
The Importance of subject is often
testified to by the large number Of inter-
rogation points that spring up in its
wake.

cling thus fondly to their weeds pursue
the pleasant practice Of keeping them
between their lips. occasionally to the
distress of nervous passengers who are
afflicted with Imagination and whose OIL
factories are sensitive to suggestion as
well as to direct vibration.
For the accommodation of smokers Of
this sort, who are too fond of their weeds
to throw them away, the model street
car should have a registering rack at
the point OF entrance, where the half
smoked cigars may be cached with
means of later identification. On the pay
as-you-enter cars the conductor could
take cigar and ticket simultaneously.
Such plan would render car riding less
of a misery to those who are not users
of tobacco and who are unable to recog-
nize any material distinction between
the cigar that is frankly producing smoke
in defiance Of the rules and that which.
though theoretically not in action. per-
meates the air with its stale effluvia.

New York and Democracy.

the famous question, What is democrat?
Being called upon to name a democrat for
office, he picked a man who had voted
three times against Mr.. Bryan and once
against Mr.. Hearst. The nomination was
rejected by combination vote of demo-
Gratis and republicans in the New York
senate. He has now picked a man who
declares that he did not vote for Hughes
for governor. If for Chanler, did he also
vote for Bryan? If not for Bryan, may he
be ticketed as democrat? And if the
test narrows down to Bryan. will not the
range of Gov. Hughes choice be very
restricted? Even New York city voted
for Taft.

Managers and Plays.

lie demand" 1t is an old evasion. It is
most convenient. And, specifically, 1t is
deceptive To be sure, no manager would
continue to offer an indecent play If no
one went to see it, The public has it's
share in the responsibility. for 1t takes
both goods and customers to make sale.
But you cannot indict a people, whereas
YOU can indict an individual or an or
ganization. Bad plays promote bad taste.
The promotion of bad taste adds profits
to the producer of bad plays. Thus there
is established between the producers and

vicious circle The evil public helps
the evil manager, and vice versa.

A Tribute to Good Citizenship.

ne UduuucL lcHOSIc Gu last night " wi :.
S. w. Woodward in celebration of the
tenth anniversary Of his services as presi-
dent of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation was an impressive tribute not
merely to Mr.. Woodward himself, but
through him to the local citizenship, of
which he is so admirable a type. Mr.
Woodward has thoroughly identified him
self with the community, entering with
zeal and enthusiasm into all the activities
that make for advancement both mate
rally and morally. AS a business man
he has scored well earned success He
has taken a leading part in the philan-
thropic enterprises that have sought the
solution of problems and the alienation
of suffering. He has worked hard to
build up the institutions that make for
the uplift Of the people, and last nights
demonstration was but a manifestation
of the hearty appreciation of him and
his public-spirited labors by his fellow
citizens.
Mr.. Woodward, thus honored in con-
sequence of his services in a work of
the utmost Importance to the moral well
fare OF Washington, represents the spirit
that today animates the people of the
District in all their cooperative efforts
for the improvement of local conditions
No worthy cause is ever left unsup-
ported. No needy object of charity is
ever neglected. With intelligent vigor

the men of Washington, valuably assist
ed and often helpfully inspired by the
women Of the capital, attack all questions
affecting the community's welfare as they

the cause Of the general good with devo-

running. 1t may continue in power for
eight years longer. There are numerous
predictions to that effect. So that by
1916 we should see our strength on the
water materially increased.
But for the arguments sake, let us
imagine democratic House or two
meanwhile, as an expression of discon-
tent about this matter or that. Would
there be a deep cut in the supply bills as
the result? There might be maneuver
for campaign purposes, but democratic
House and republican Senate and Presi-
dent would reach an agreement insurlng
liberal support for both arms of the ma
tional defense. That is the safest OF cal
culations.
Mr.. Hale regrets the trip of the fleet

Lincoln is even more widely appreciat-

Washington has always been rather to
the intellectual than to the domestic at

the genial and tender side. 1t Is not tina !.
Washington is without influence on the
hearts OF his countrymen. or Lincoln
without a claim to high consideration as
a purely intellectual force. The point is
that the chief element in the one case
Is an austere devotion TO duty and in
