John DIS Municipal Godchild.

A town that chooses its name in the
hope of getting a christening gift from
it's unintentional godfather has really no
kick coming when the purse strings fail
to loosen. If Mr.. Rockefeller. for in
stance, taking the case of this Illinois
town now in evidence as an example,
were TO give bunch of money to every
burg that sees fit to name itself after
him he would have to draw no less than
forty-six checks, one for every state In
the Union Very probably he might have
to do much more than this. for there are
various combinations on the Rockefeller
name that could be worked in a way to
avoid the rule which forbids the main
tenance of more than one post office of
the same name in state. Doubtless
Mr.. Rockefelers generosity Is great
enough to stand the strain even in such
situation. but 1t is clearly evident
by this time that the oil magnate gives
OF his abundance upon strictly scientific
principles. He is no 'Scotty,'' throwing
his funds away in wads, regardless Of
who gets them or to what use they are
put. He Is careful benefactor, DELHI
crate and rather particular. If the town
OF Rockefeller. H., wants some of his
hard-earned savings 1T must come for
ward and prove its title to such a bcnefi-
cence. demonstrate some superior munici-
pal virtue, prove an abiding faith In the.

A Good Example.


The three Commissioners OF the District
Of Columbia are reputed to be modest
men who would disclaim any desire, to be
regarded as great reformers. but they
have announced a reform that may con-
tain a wholesome lesson for other great
cities. They have issued an edict that
no more billboards shall be erected with
in the city limits of Washington. Those
garish horrors that the sign painter S
brush f1aunts before the eyes of tourist.
from vacant lots, blank walls and desert
ed buildings
Washington is fast approaching the
realization Of the plans and dreams OF
L'Enfant. whose century-piercing eye
saw a "city beautiful" as the seat of
the nations government. Its parks.
broad streets, splendid marble and gran
lite federal buildings have become the
show places of the country, and yet the
first sight that greets the incoming guest
and tourist as he energies from the S.
100000 union depot is an array of large
| billboards bearing on their glazing ex-
panse boasts of the merits of somebody S
| bourbon or the picture OF a maiden In alb
| breviated bathing costume, advertising
| the attractions of a seaside resort. Facing
! the most beautiful parks and attractive
ldriveways are similar atrocities. The Com
missioners have decided that such display
| Is not in harmony with a ''city beautt-
full" and they are everlastingly right.
For years those blasphemies against
nature that have been daubed across
some of the erandest scenery In the coun-
try, advertising merchandise and nos
trums, have sickened the heart Of the
lovers of the beautiful. Akin to this sor-
did DETACHMENT OF natural grandeur are
| the monster billboards that trench on
city parks and spoil the scenic and ar
chitectural effects OF modern municipal
improvements. The Commissioners Of the
District o" Columbia have developed an
| idea worry of general consideration.

Thaw on BraiuStormS.

Harry Thaw yesterday, in the course of
his cross-examination at White Plains by
William Travers Jerome, said that he
killed Stanford White while he was suf-
fering from "brainstorm," but that If
freed he thought he will never have an
other. 1t will be interesting to ascertain
this precious young mans prescription
for avoiding brainstorms. Somehow or
other the public gained the impression at
the time of his first trial that BRAIN
storm was something swift, severe and
unavoidable. Indeed, the sole virtue Of
the brainstorm as defense from convic-
ton of murder is its quality as a WISH
tation beyond the voition of the suf-
ferer. If Thaw has his brainstorns un-
der control he will not be necessarily
a dangerous member of society, but the
court that releases him on this basis will
be assuming grave responsibility in
case he is mistaken as to his power of
self-mastery. Nevertheless, Thaw's opin-
ion in the premises is about as sensible
as many of those that were given when
he was declared unaccountable for the
killing of his victim.

The Two Alfonsos.

Portraits Of King Alfonso and his
young son are figuring just at present in
the news columns of American papers in
connection with the tribulations of the
Spanish monarch There is a keen Amer
lean sympathy for the head of the Span
lsh state. who came to his responsibilities
at a time when Spain had passed through
q severe trial In consequence of the ne
cessity for American Intervention in her
colonial affairs. The utmost cordially
has been felt in America for Alfonso and
every effort has been made to give ex-
preston to that sentiment. When he ac-
eeded to the throne there was a universal
hope that he would develop substantial
qualities and give Spain an administra-
ton Of progressive breadth. When he
was married to a young English princess
he was warmly congratulated upon an
alliance which could not fail to be of ad-
vantage in all respects. Upon the birth
Of his eldest child, now at the mature
age of twenty-six and a half months, the
best wishes of the American people were
expressed for the prosperity of both
father and son. Now Alfonso is In trou-
bic. Circumstances which have been
really beyond his control have precipi-
tated him into war in Morocco against
serious odds of numbers and climate. At
the same time his own people have re-
volted, and now he has before him one
Of the most difficult bits of work that
ever confronted a ruler of men. If he
weathers this storm he will have a long
task of rehabilitation. Spain is not in
good health. There is too great a differ
ence between the classes, too much mis-
cry darkly contrasting with the affiuence
of the privileged classes. Spain is really
poor country, with ignorance densely
prevalent among a great portion of the
people. Alfonso's task in time OF peace
Is enormous. and even though he may
emerge from this crisis victorious it will
be at heavy cost, with which he must
reckon later. The chubby-faced child
who in the pictures now being printed
sits upon the kings knee may never reign
in Spain, but II the good will of this
country can affect the situation it will
be exerted undoubtedly to the end tina
Ibis boy may some day preside over a
new Spain. rising to heights of prosperity
never known in the days of his modern
ancestors.

Insane Hospital Patients.

| The District Commissioners are entirely
| justified in strongly requesting the Sec
| rotary of the Interior to adopt measures
/, calculated to protect the local residents
from the possible disturbance or violence
| of patients at the Government Hospital
! for the Insane who wander from Its pre-
| cincts. 1t is not a pleasant thought that
| those who are under treatment at st.
| Eliza beths should be virtually at liberty
| to leave the hospital grounds whenever
| they desire, and yet in a sense this is the
| fact as recently set forth by the super
| intendent of that institution, who holds
| the theory that it is better to give the
| patients full liberty of action than to re-
strain them While nothing has occurred
| of a tragic nature thus far in consequence
| of the facility with which hospital pa
| tients leave the grounds, there is no as
surance that any day one of them will
| not wander away and suddenly develop a
phase of violence such as may occur In
| any case of mental alienation.
| Secretary Ballinger has jurisdiction
| over the Government Hospital for the In
sane. and it is now for him to decide
whether the policy of treating the pa
tients with full freedom of action should
be continued regardless Of the apprehen~
sion of jewellers in the vicinity. The hos
pital grounds are large and afford album
dant room for all the inmates to engage
in recreation. At the same time this very
fact renders 1T difficult to guard the in
closing walls. 1t is not desirable to post
sentries and give the place the appear
ance of prison. Nevertheless some
thing should be done to confine within
closer range than at present those pa
tients who are possibly subject to violent
manifestations of their disease.
Regardless of the possibilities In the
way of crime which may lie in the liberty
granted the patients at present. it is to
be borne in mind that grave uneasiness
| is certain to be caused great number of
| people by the knowledge that at any time
an estray from st. Elizabeth's may put
| in an appearance. The public security is
not measured solely by the considerations
of life and death, and the community S
peace of mind is to be taken into account
as fully as the mental welfare of the un-
fortunates who are detained at the gov
eminent institution.

The Tariff Conference Report.

The signing of the conference report
on the tariff bill produces several shouts.
The President wins. The House wins
through the President. The Senate has
much to show for its contest.
But, more than ALL the country wins,
Here is revision of the tariff-something
long demanded and frequently promised.
Il is not ideal, since there were no ideal
Instruments to work with. a tariff bill
represents the conflicting selishness of
nay localities harmonized through stress
of circumstances. No locality gets all it
desires. Each gets something. and enough
10 reconcile 1T to what in the trading it
was obliged to surrender.
The President did excellent service, and
In the right way. He did not try to take
the matter out Of the hands of Congress.
He did not enter into details until after
both House and Senate had taken posi-
ton. and then he acted in response to a
congressional delegation which called on
him and invited an expression. In an
swer he spoke clearly for downward
revision. and what he said had instant eff
eect. The friends of downward revision
grew stronger from that day, and the
final shape of the bill reflects in large
measure the Presidents Interpretation of
The duty of fhe hour.
Will the law be known as the Payne
law, the Aldrich law. the Taft law or
the Taft-Payne-Aldrch law? Will the
hyphen find employment? What does it
matter? All three men took part in the
laws preparation, and each impressed
himself on the deliberations All will
share in the credit of any success
achieved, or in the censure if failure re-
suits.
The time consumed was not long. A
measure so comprehensive as to touch at
every vital business point in the country
cannot be turned out while you wait.
The House bill was prepared in advance
or the special session, and therefore was
speedily disposed Of by that body when
the session began. In the Senate the
many propositions for changing House
rates called for debate, and the Senate's
rules are altogether friendly to debate.
All things considered. therefore, Congress
has moved with very creditable speed.
The record made is important to both
parties, and we shall hear a great deal
about 1t for several years to come. Re
publican divisions were capped by demo-
cratic divisions. until questions of who's
who and what's what were flying thick
and fast. And many of them, being still
unanswered, will continue to bob up
every now and then.
