The Next House.

Gov johnson of Minnesota, fresh from
swinging around the Chautauqua circuit,
j. fun of prophecy. lie sees large
democratic ma iority in the next House of
Representatives. lie has found the peo-
pie everywhere indignant that tariff
stone should have been given them when
they were asking for bread and impa-

selves at the polls. Just wait if you
want 10 see a party emphatically re-
pudIated Republicans In large numbers
are going 10 join the democrats in No
vembcr of next year in Furnishing the

Doubtless the Minnesota statesman
heard on his travels a good deal of
criticism OF the new tariff law. The
topic is stin fresh. and has the right of
way. All Chautauqua lecturers recruited
from the field of politics are expected to
say something about the tariff in the
course OF their remarks. Let his text
he what IT may, the statesman-enter-
tainer must, before he concludes. express
an opinion about whether the Payne law
is good or bad for the country.
Gov. johnson thinks it is eaS and has
been saying so. This has brought ap-
plause from those who agree with him
and probably calls at his hotel later
in him as possible democratic nominee
for the presidency.

American sportsmen have reason to feel
proud of the way in which their repre-
sentatives in various fields are maintain

craft promises TO be repeated with a clean

Safepuardiuo the Public.

There is no possible reason why the
minor theaters in which motion pictures
are displayed should not be subjected
to the same regulations that are applied
to the larger places of public entertain
ment. The announcement just made
that the rules which govern the the
aters Of the District shall apply to these
five and ten cent establishments, which
have become remarkably numerous in
all parts of the city, is but logical re-
suit of the situation as 1T has devel-
oped. In point of fact the motion-pic-
ture theater is more properly subject
to close regulation than the larger place
OF assemblage. The exhibition appara-
tus Is invariably located between the
audience and the exit, and is the
main point of danger. Practically all
of the fires that have occurred in these
places have started from the ignition
of the celluloid film, which is of a dan
gerously infiammable nature. The risk

Msxico's Need.

TIE question of American aid for the
Mexican flood sufferers is merely a matter
o. necessity If the need exists for funds
or supplies it will undoubtedly be met at
once. The appeal TO the people of this
country for the rescue of the stricken in
haoitants of Monterey from their desper-
ate plight. issued by the National Red
Cross, will evoke as sure response as
was given in the case of the earthquake
sufferers of Italy few months ago.
The American people have always been
prompt to give aims in case of a great
disaster. The list of their benefactions in
the field Of International suffering is a long
one, forming one of the most eloquent
tributes possible TO the humane spirit ami
mating the people of the new world. Out
of their abundance they have given for
the fighting OF faminss in Russia and In
India, for the succorins of victims Of earth
quake, volcano, food. fire and pestilence, for
the building of new homes for the inhabit
ants OF devastated lands. No lines of
race, religion or color have barred them
from the performance of this duty TO their
fellow creatures.
In the present instance there is a pecu-
liar reason for immediate response north
of the Rio Grande river to any appeal that
may be sounded for help in Monterey.
Mexico is our neighbor. The presidents
OF the two republics are soon to meet and
exchange greetings, first on American and
later on Mexican soil. The ties that bind
the two countries together politically will
be strengthened by this exchange of exec
Utive courtesies. But nothing could possi-
bly, he so effective to advance the prestige
OF the United States south of the interna
toRal boundary line as immediate
outpouring of bounty in this hour of great
distress. No consideration OF policy, how
ever, will be needed to stimulate the
American people TO the fullest necessary
response to the call for help.

We shall now see the financier and the
banker as active as the manufacture

And we shall see as wide differences of
opinion as to currency legislation as ex-
listed as to tariff legislation. There are
eastern views and western views, and
even several kinds of views in the same
financial center.
This debate will attract wide attention.
At home here it will absorb interest And
abroad curiosity will be aroused. Foreign
capitalists follow our course as respects
such matters closely. and they have
never had greater occasion to do SO than
now. Our securities are in all the mar
kets, and our general development is a
matter of worldwide concern. The new
tariff law is being examined for changes
affecting our foreign customers, and new
currency legislation, following SO soon

the mishap to the machine which resulted
in its fall and the death OF Lieut.. Selfridge
and the crippling Of Orville Wright, it is
probable that some remarkable achieve
1nents would have been scored at Fort

no wise to the lack of scientific principle
in the machine itself. set back the Ameri-

least half year.
