Why Not Raise the Maine |?
rom the Bostop Transcript.

from the b0Stoo transcript.
The specific purpose of the many public
meetings which are being held In this
country in observance of the destruction
of the battleship Maine is to organize
public opinion which shall compel the
government to remove the remains of the
slain sailors which are still in the ruins
of the vessel and give them honorable
interment at Arlington. Why the disre-
spect implied in the discrimination exer-
cised between giving portion of the
dead honorable burial and leaving the
others in the mud of Havana harbor has
been so long maintained is a mystery of
which SO far no explanation has been
forthcoming. Nor has 1t been made plain
to the comprehension of the general pub
lie why neither the United States nor
Cuba removes a most unsightly obstruc-
ton to the freest navigation of the har-
Dor and one around which a dangerous
shoal Is rapidly forming. Cuba is a
nation. though under our protection. The
Cuban government Is presumably sensible
of the inconvenience the wreck occasions
to the maritime business of the metropo-
lis. Ordinarily II would move rapidly
enough to free it's port from dangerous
wreckage. and 1t is a presumption that
occurs with plausible force that the gov
eminent of the island is constrained by
pressure to leave the battered relics of
the ship where they are even If they
remain constant interrogation point to
thousands. .

Excellent results should flow from the
conference at the District building
Monday between the Commissioners
and representatives of the citizens as
sociations. These useful organizati ons
have developed definite purpose in
the municipal economy and have served
well to elicit public sentiment on local
matters. Each section of the city is
now provided with it's forum for the
discussion of matters of immediate and
general interest, and these associations
have come to be recognized by the
Commissioners and by the committees
of Congress as unofficially representa-
tive of the Districts population. Nat
urally each local association concen-
trates its attention upon the projects
of improvement which most directly
concern its immediate territory and is
urgent for action along that particular
line which promises the greatest re-
turn in public advantage.
1t is unfortunately impossible to
grant all of the requests preferred by
these associations in the name of the
inhabitants of neighborhoods and sub
urbs. Granting that all are necessary.
the Districts funds will not permit
such an elaborate program of better
ments. Probably all of these schemes
will ultimately be carried into execution,
but meanwhile there must be selec-
tions, with some projects chosen for
immediate adoption and others post
poned. 1t is highly desirable that 10
this process there should be a maxi
mum of advantage to the District in
every move, and, moreover, that the
District should as whole recognize
the reasons for the selection of this OF
that project for immediate execution.
The conference of Monday is calcu-
lated to enable the representatives of
the different parts of Washington to
acquire this broad point of view. Each
section may thus be brought to ap-
preciate the fact that while it's needs
are urgent those of other parts of the
city may be even more so, and that
finally every stroke of work done in
the development of the District is for
the benefit of the whole area and all
the people. The enlightened selfishness
that is the handspring of civilization
finds expression in just such co-opera.
tive citizenship. The Commissioner s
should and doubtless do regard as q
wholesome sign the earnestness with
which the jewellers in different. parts
of the District press their claims for
appropriations and for legislation. And
the Commissioners, on the other hand,
cannot fail to be assisted in their WORK
for the good of the whole city by a
comprehension on the part Of each
neighborhood and suburb and section
of the vital truth that whatever is done
for any part Of Washington is done for
the whole.
These conferences should become a
regular feature OF the years work at
the District building. While the Com
mfssioners may keep in touch with the
local activities and learn Of the local
aspirations and desires through CORE
! spondence, the newspapers and by &C.
casional visits to association meetings. 1t
is more important that the members of
| the associations should, through their
| representatives. acquire the broad view
point induced by general assemblage
| from all parts of Washington.

Economy and Partisanship.

Senator Money, in speaking of Senator
Aldrch's assertion that the government
could be run for three hundred million
dollars less than the existing figures, said
that the admission was a serious refiec-
ton on the republican administration of
affairs. That view of the matter will
undoubtedly be used in the coming cam
paign. For stump purposes the PROPOSE
ton will be simple. The democratic
spellbinder Will point to the fact that the
republicans have been in full possession
for thirteen years running, and here is
an admission by the republican leader of
the Senate either of great waste. or of
great extravaganza The remedy? Turn
the guilty party out, and put lie other
party in.
But what are the facts as to the re-
sponsibility and the division of the ap-
preparations? No matter which party is
in power, both parties help shape the
supply bills, and all sections share the
money. Only one of the bills-the PEN
sion bill-has sectional quality, and that
of course is easily explained In the great
conflict out OF which that bill grows the
south was on the losing side The vic
tors camesfrom the northern and the mid
die states. and the great majority Of the
survivors have since resided there. All
but few of those who have changed
homes have gone west. The south has
profted but little from that source.
Uncle Sans money collected from
Uncle Sans people goes back to them
in the main with a generous recogni-
ton of their needs, The supply bills
are the ones the most thoroughly de-
hated They have the right of way
They fix the general attention, in Con-
gress and out That famous question,
What is there in this for me?" is an
swered. There is something in those
bills for everybody, and everybody
wants his allowance
There is usually a little humbug-
though easily detected-in the public
comment on the sums total. At the
end of every session of Congress two
comments on the sessions appropria-
tions appear. One is issued by the ma
jority. the other by the minority. The
minority always condemns and views
with alarm That is what the minority
is there for. At the same time the
minority has helped to load up the very
bills il criticises. and its constituents
are sharing in the sums voted. Moth
ing is easier than to propose and vote
in items to bill knowing that the bill
will pass, and then for political pur-
poses vote against the completed meas
ure on the final roll call.
If the government is living too high
let the bills be clipped But when they
are clipped, the effect, let it be under
stood, will be felt throughout the coun-
try. Economy is all right, but very sell
dom is it, or can it be made. straight

The Jollier.

He doesn't always mean 1t,
When he comes along each day
With a CHEEKY bit of smiling
And a pleasant word to say.

And life isn't all a song,
But he's trying to forget EN-
AS he jollies folks along.
He isn't all unselfish.
AS he greets his fellow-man;
He's quick to ask service,
But he'll do one If he can.
His kindliness is something
That Ill fortune cannot bulge;
It's only just jolly,
But it's better than a grudge

The departing president spent her last
moments in America instructing Mrs. N. s.

to fight Mr. Durand with injunctions and
things.
It was an innocent looking little pink
blank which reused the ire of the asso-

out to farmers by the census people. But
half way down was clause stating that
when a man managed a farm for some
body else he must write himself down
manager, except when it was his wife's
| farm; then he must describe himself as the
! owner.
Well, anybody can imagine the sort of

! Stowell, who is a farmer herself, and nat

takes of her, was deputed to write Mr..
