The Tariff and the Gossip,.

Political gossips are already busy with
the future of the men who have figured
the most prominently in the latest re-
vision of the tariff.
Will Mr. Payne be the next Speaker OF
the House. or the successor of Mr.. Depew
in the Senate? In the welter Of current
talk there is prediction that Mr. Cannon
will not try for another term as Speaker
and a great many persons expect Mr.. De-
pew to be retired at the close OF his
term. Mr.. Payne has had nearly a quar-
ter of a century of experience in the
House, and for several years has been
the majority leader in that body. He
displayed ability in the tariff fight. Many
republicans believe that had the House
bill been accepted by the Senate and
promptly passed the party today would
be infinitely better of. And Mr.. Payne's
closing speech in the House on the bill il
much praised.
But the political complexion Of the next
House ds yet to be determined, while Mr..
Depew's successor will not be chosen
until January. 1911.
What of Mr.. Aldfich? 1t was stated
st winter that he would not seek re-.
election; but he himself was not quoted
as authority for the statement. The
matter of his successor probably rests
with him. He cannot have injured him
self at home by his part In the tarlfY
fight. As on all other occasions. he sup
ported New England's interests. and did
for them what no other man could have
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-08-04

done. If New England does not like this
latest tariff bill she is very hard to please.
And Mr.. Cannon Well. why should
he be counted out of the game? Where
is there another man of his years younger
in spirit, or more vigorous physically! he
was of great help this time in putting
and keeping the House in the proper posi-
ton. His large experience was OF the
greatest value. A veteran of half dozen
tariff revision contests. he appraised cor
rectly every move made by the other side
and made no mistakes in his own moves.
If he lives he will be member of the
next House. His repeated triumphs over
his enemies at home seem to insure him
service a S long as he cares to serve. MT
Cannon, We may be sure, is far from be-
ing out of the running. Another repuo-
lican House will probably show him III
the field as candidate for another term
as Speaker.
But let the gossips keep busy. The tariH
and what has been disclosed here since
March should give the rumor factories
work for at least twelve months.

The New York Question.

4 New York newspaper, inspired by the
spirit of loyalty to the soil which is the
chief source OF municipal strength in this
country. asks the annual question. Why
leave New York in summer? Practically
every other city In the country propounds
the same conundrum each warm season.

that II Is nonsense to go away from a
place of pure delight. where the trolley
cars hum and the streets buzz with bust
ness and resorts are close at hand. Wash
fngton has satisfactorily demonstrated
that IL can make any reasonable person
happy throughout the summer without
the aid of q railroad ticket. 1t is a very
poorly equipped community that cannot
entertain itself and keep well during the
warm months at home.
But with all OF New York's domestic
advantages there are reasons why the
most loyal resident of that aggregation
OF discomforts should want to HE OF to a

Experts and the Tariff.

The assurance given by Mr.. Aldrich
to Mr.. Newlands in the Senate yester-
day respecting the provision In the tarif
bill for collecting information for the
President in applying the maximum and
minimum clause OF that measure was
full and satisfactory. OF course COM
petent men will be secured, and under
the Presidents direction will supply him
with statistics enabling him to carry out
the directions of Congress. The Pres
ident's duty is prescribed. and he in turn
will prescribe the duty of his assistants.
Congress is the source of all the power
that will be employed.
Beyond this point the tariff conferees
refused to go. The tariff commission
proposition did not appeal to the House
at all. and to but few senators. The
present Congress is practically through
with the tariff subject. It collected it's
own information. and has acted on it..
II the next Congress, or any future Con-
gress. dealing with the tariff cares to
proceed in different way. it can decide
the way for itself. That any Congress
will ever adopt the plan frankly pro-
claimed by the real authors Of the tariff
commission idea is the most improbable
of all things. Manufacturers and i'm
porters may make up their minds to
that.
In some quarters the belief is expressed
that, little as this Congress has allowed
it will answer as a germ. and develop
into a full-6edged and all-powerful tariff
commission. 1t cannot develop beyond
the law Of its being. It will have no

In these same quarters the cry Is for
tariff by experts. The country. we are

The Outlook for Peary.


The departure of the jeanne from st.
Johns, Newfoundland, carrying mail. food
and coal to Commander Peary, naturally
excites speculation as to the measure of
success which has attended the explorers
efforts this year. If the object of his
expedition has already been accomplished,
Peary will doubtless come back within
the next few weeks. However. as the
Roosevelt, which took him to the arctic
regions last summer. could not force its
way southwark through the floating Ice in
the channel above Cape Sabine before
July or August. and as he would probably
need coal to continue his voyage home. he
might be expected to wait for fuel at
some convenient point-Etah, on the
Greenland coast. for instance-until the
arrival of his relief ship. If, on the other
hand. he is dissatisfied with the result Of
last springs work. it is not likely that he
will move the Roosevelt from the harbor
in which he placed her a year ago-on the
coast of Grant Land, IL he had good luck
but return by sledge to Etah in order to
exchange dispatches with the jeanne. In
either contingency therefore, definite
news should be received from him by the
middle OF September. If not sooner.

Reclaim the Eastern Flats!

Congress should not wait for the DE-
termination of the title to the lands
which may be reclaimed from the en-
croachments of the Eastern branch be-
fore actually starting the work of dredg-
ing and filing on that side of the city
1t is as plain as day that this enterprise
must be undertaken some time. with

will permit tho capital to continue IN

health and the loss of value incidental To

of the Eastern branch. To think that Is
TO accuse the government of the United
States of criminal slothfulness.
Years have elapsed since the necessity
~ dredging out the channels OF the
branch and pouring the materials INTO
the Eats for their reclamation from the
tides became evident from the point OF
view of the public health. 1t was obvi-
Gus at the time when the Potomac was
rescued from its filthy condition that the
branch was in need of precisely similar
treatment The eastern work should
have been undertaken at the same time
as the western. The two problems were
identical. and their solution at the same
time would have cost the government less
than at different times.
Whether the lands to he reclaimed from
the water belong to the government or TO
private individuals. the District suffers
from their present condition. Not only
does the eastern section of Washington
pay a penalty in malaria, but the entire
community is affected by the pestilentlai
influences which emanate from the
marshes. The United States has gone be-
fore the world as the advocate of scien-
tific sanitation. 1t has demonstrated In
Cuba and in Panama its ability to stamp
out marsh-bred diseases. 1t has rid

a condition to continue here. at the very
seat Of government, which is potentially
as bad as any that has been cured in
Cuba or on the canal strip?
It is estimated that this work may cost
SS,Oo.eo0 or 100000. That will be a
low price to pay for the rescue of the
capital from the threat Of disease in

swamps. Nor should there be any reckon
ing of possible return through the sale
of these reclaimed lands to private own
ers. The government should hold Them
II 1t now owns them. or acquire them If
It does not. and constitute them into
public reservation similar and supple
mentary to Potomac Park, which is be-
coming one of the glories of Washington.
The capital of the United States should
not be developed as lopSided city,
healthful on one side and malarial on the
other, adorned with a beautiful park on
the one side and marred by a marsh on
the other. 1t should be a symmetrical
city, clean and wholesome in all its sur

Protecting Policy Holders.
From the SnrtnQ6eld ReDublican

One of the New York life insurance
companies is to make it's medical bureau
an active propaganda of good health
rules and suggestions among policy hold
ers, besides offering free medical exami-
nations at stated intervals. Another New
York life company, 1t is reported, plans
the construction of a tuberculosis hospi-
tai or sanatorium for the use of afflicted
policy holders, which, it Is safe to say,
will not be surrounded by the company
with buildings high enough to exclude the
sunlight This would seem to be stretch
ing the legal powers of such a company.
Anyhow, at this rate. the purchase of a
life insurance policy will soon entitle
the owner to free medical attendance and

Is New England Corrupt

TOM INC Dulutn f1tIHIu-
No doubt many people wonder at times
why the New England states should
be SO completely dominated by railroad
and other corporate interests, and why
the representatives of these states In
Congress are SO uniformly suppliant to
the wishes OF the large interests. The
reason is that there is no minority
party worth counting in any of these
states: that the people are republicans
from force of habit. and that> the re-
publican organizations are absolutely con-
trolled, and have been for years. by the
railroad and combined corporate inter-
ests which elect senators. representatives,
legislatures and governors. What these
states need is an effective minority party.
