Now the time has come again when
the citizen who desires to contribute TO
the appearance of the city begins to plan
his work as an urban gardener. Year
by year the number OF these public
spirited householders increases. as the
truth Is spread that the city beautiful
Is an ideal OF our American civilization.
No longer is it common to find whole
blocks Of unkempt yards and slovenly
kept patches of weak grass. Parkings
are now almost universally cared for
throughout each season. the grass trim
med and raked and watered and thessoil
cultivated for the production OF deco
rative plants and vines. The man who
lets his house front fall into disnrray
who neglects his parking and contributes
nothing to he attractiveness OF the
square in which he lives loses caste in
a manner which reveals the value now
set upon the rake and spade and garden
hose as tokens of good citizenship
These little frOnt-yard gardens repre-
sent only small amount OF labor and
expense on the part Of each person. Yet

No White House Tariff Bill.

In a quiet way. there Is some criticism
of the President because he does not in
dictate in detailed fashion the tariff bill
Congress should pass. Why not give
Congress the proper tip? Why not make
all speculation about a veto futile and
unlnteresting?
And yet. as We all know. IL the Presi-
dent. were to do this he would be attacked
on charges Of an attempt to dictate TO
Congress He would he reminded that
1t Is for that body 10 prepare the bill. and
the advice would follow that he hold his
peace until the bill so prepared should be
laid before him. 1t Is for Congress first
to interpret the Chicago platform. Then

The Efve-Dollar Club.

The Associated Charities. the Citizens
Relief Association and the Association
for the Prevention Of tuberculosis are in
need of 1000 This sum is required to
meet the deficit in the funds of these
societies. The money should be promptly
subscribed. There is enough benevolence
in Washington to meet the emergency
In the affairs of the three charity agen-
cies named. The benevolent people will
respond as soon as they are reached and
given to understand the urgency of the
matter.
The Five-doliar Club plan outlined In
last nights Star should work we'll Each
of the thirty members OF the joint COM
mittee of the Associated Charities. Citi-
zens' Relief Association and the Asso-
citation for the Prevention Of Tubercu-
losis will seek to enlist twenty-five men,

should and probably will reward their eff
forts.
as these worthy. responsible and ably
administered charities ought not to fall
on deaf ears. Men ought not to put of
upon their neighbors or somebody else
the burden of caring for the helpless or
porting members Of this community.
Col. Archibald Hopkins. member OF
the joint committee Of the triple charity
organization. was quoted in the news
columns of The Star last evening as
saying:
"A little more than 1 per cent of the
people Of Washington have gone on year
after year caring for the sick and poor.
intoxicating industry and providence. pro-
viding employment for those out Of work.
building up family life. improving condi-
tons of living. fighting vice and disease
and supporting all the charities of the
city. And they are still doing 1t. There
are Indications. however. that they are
growing tired of having it all to do. while
the rest of Washington stands by indif-
ferent.''
This ought to arouse a large number
of persons hitherto unresponsiye to a
sense Of their duty to their unfortunate
fellow-creatures.
The Five-dollar Club ought to succeed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-04-10

it will be for him to say whether that
Interpretation is fair or not.
1t is probably true that the President
has no bill Of his own. He is not tariff
expert-has never even followed as a
reader the preparation Of any of the
tariff bills which have become laws since
he arrived at his majority. It takes a
very wide knowledge of business to go
over the tariff schedules with a view to
correcting inequalities and providing for
sufficient revenue to support the govern
ment.
But this is not to say that by the time
the action OF Congress on the Payne bill
reaches the White House the President
will not be ready to give it an examina-
ton on general lines. Just as the Senate
has been keeping itself advised as to the
progress Of the House on the bill will the
President keep himself advised as to the
Senate's progress And just as both the
House and the Senate have profited by
Information from informed sources on the
outside is the President at liberty to
qualify for the rendering OF his judgment.
1t is the expectation Of those who know
the President that he will act in the
premises with the courage that goes with
his CHdEdCtcT I1t Is HUl I''i
spectacularly aggressive. Neither does he
seem to take pleasure in fighting his
friends. His friends are communicating
with him freely on this tariff subject.
and are finding him anxious for informa-
ton, and DESTROYS of bill which Will at
once release business from its present
thrall and strengthen his party with the
country. But he Is not issuing any hard
and fast instructions TO Congress. or
agreeing In any limp way with what is
being reported to him as the line of prob
able congressional action. Very properly,
he wants to see the bill before he COM
mits himself.
This position Of the President Is as
surance that we are not approaching
snarl and scandal such as disfieured the
close of the debate on the Gorman-Wilson
bill. The President will be free to act
when his time comes to act, and will act
If the bill is a shuttle. denying to the
country what the party last year promised
in the way of tariff legislation. and con-
tinuing injustices that have been repeat
eddy denounced by leading republican
newspapers and leading republican poll
ticians. he will not keep his pen dry and
let the shuttle triumph. He will do his
duty. and let the country fix the respon-
sibility for the troubled situation that
will follow.

the aggregate effect is remarkably at
tractive. even though there is no COM
mon plan The chief need is neatness
and the next Is care. When the dwell
ers In block agree upon q scheme of
parking treatment they are able to pro-
duce a picture of urban beauty we'll
worth the slight cost and trouble. They
can for instance. adopt the idea of re-
moving all front and division fences
and conining the flowers to the house
line Or they may treat the entire
stretch as a single plat. broken only by
the door walks. and devise an artistic
design of landscape gardening, with
shrubs and flower plats. Again. they
may plant hedges in lieu of the fences.
which are never artistic. But. whether
they work separately or together. the
residents in each block should be inspired
by the same thought. to make the open
spaces in front Of their houses count In
the city's attractiveness.
Flat-dwellers are necessarily relieved
Of the responsibility and deprived Of the
opportunity Of adding to the beauty OF
the city. save as they can maintain win
dow boxes overlooking the street. They
can at least do this much. with very lit
lie cost and trouble. From the scotsman
and the florist can be had the materials
to make each window a spot Of pleasant
appearance instead Of being a mere open
ing in a wall. These boxes Of blooms or
greenery. maintained uniformly through
out an entire apartment building, may
give the structure a dignity and indi-
viduality Of great value in the eyes Of
homeseekers
1t Ia not merely to cause people to
admire the outlook as they pass through
the street that the householders should
carry on such a work. but to give pleas
ure to those who live in the block. A
life spent looking out upon bare yards
and undecorated brick walls Is dreary
A very little done by everybody in each
row will brighten the existence OF all.

The Senate and the Tariff.

The tariff question is now up to the
Senate. and, if we may believe some ex-
perienced politicians the real tug Of
war will begin. In this view of the
case the Payne bill was prepared partly
as a feeler. a sounder. of public senti-
ment. point in the game was to draw
the fire of the opposition and the coun-
try. That has been accomplished. and
the Senate Will guide by 1T.
1t is suggested also that the ways
and means committee drew a little
stronger fire than was expected. This
proposition had fewer friends. and
that more. than had entered into the
calculations. making 1t necessary for
the committee to maneuver on several
lines to hold its power in the open
House
Are there things in the bill as passed
DESIGNED for trading purposes? 1t is al
together likely. If not, the bill is an
exception to the rule The House
should always have a trading margin
The Senate always insists on making
changes in the Houses work, and
sometimes on making a good many.
Unless reports are greatly astray. the
Senate has comprehensive program
this time.
We shall probably see the Senate
also provide itself with a margin for
trading. After its labors are COM
p!eted it must go into conference with
the House. and then trading will begin.
OF such is the kingdom of all tariff
legislation. Hundreds of conflicting
interests meet. and compromises are q
necessity. The rule of action is give
nd talx md 90 orln
concessions issues new tariff bill for
the Presidents inspection.
All speculation about what lines the
Senate is likely to follow is useless today
Next week the finance committee will
make its report. and then we shall have a
basis for calculation.
But the public pulse will be quickened
now by the fact that the debate in the
Senate will be more protracted and thor
ough than was that in the House. In
the Senate no time rule as to discussion
runs, or may be laid down except by
unanimous consent. And then there are
senators who are generally accepted as
high authorities on the tariff, and the
country expects them to add materially
in this debate to the sum of public in
formation.
The House leaders are to be congratu-
lated on the record they made as to time
and as TO the final lining up. They con-
fronted at the start serious row over
the rules, and when that was composed
they then confronted serious divisions
over certain schedules. But divisions
appeared on the other side of the chamber
as well. and they were managed with
much adroitness- All things considered,
it was "A parliamentary feat OF note to
wind up such business under such cir
cumstances in three weeks, with the loss
on the final roll call of but single vote
and gain Of four votes from the oppo-
sition. Mr.. Cannon. Mr.. Payne and Mr.
Dalzell have again shown themselves to
be excellent generals

The Bathing Beach,

Improvement of the bathing beach is
planned. In the news columns of The
Star last evening it was published that
extensive plans for the improvement of
the bathing beach and the ground nearby
are being made by DR.. William P. Hud-
soa. superintendent. and DIR. William Tin
dali. chairman of the committee on the
bathing beach. under the direction Of
Commissioner West"
II is proposed to fill In the old fish
ponds used as a swimming pool last sum-
mer and TO use the reclaimed land as
an athletic field for boys under sixteen
years old. The oemented pools are to
be enlarged and il is contemplated to
permit the use of tSe tidal basin by
strong and advanced sNimm>S The
news of this projected change is as usual
qualified by the statement that the
small amount of money available will
preclude extensive Improvements during
The coming summer"
Washington with it's miles of water
frontage and its generous breadth of
waters is without adequate and proper
swimming facilities. The public bathins
beach is an institution of several years
Standing. and yet it has never been
equipped in way to provide satisfactory
and safe accommodations for bathers and
swimmers. 1t has always been of the
nature of a temporary makeshift. The
inland pools. which served as swimming
pools last year. were considered by some
physicians as dangerous to the health of
the bathers.
Washington might have several ap-
proved river bath beaches. 1t should have
az least three. one near the Washington
channel OF the Potomac. one on the
Georgetown channel and one on the East
ern branch. The bathing beach would
be an important element in promoting
and preserving the public health. 1t
teaches the lesson of cleanliness over
comes water shyness. which affiicts q
large part OF the population of all cities.
and serves as natural swimming teach
er. Swimming under certain restrictions
Is fine exercise for children and grown
ups ana helps along the idea of vigorous
outdoor life.
The question of ample public baths is
associated with that of public bathing
aud swimming beach. The ancients found
the public baths useful, and a number of
progressive American communities have
established public baths with ENCOURAGING
results.
