The revulsion of feeling manifest in Chi
cago against the public performances of
Miss Mary Garden in the opera ''Salome"
is a curious and interesting phase of moral
development. The newspaper critics of
that city. while admitting that there was
something artistic about the performance
and some beautiful things in the music.

it seemed to be "the work of a diseased
soul" we recall that the version Of this
Biblical story chosen for representation
was that written by the late Oscar Wilde.
1t is. perhaps. a little curious that it
was Chicago which arose in revolt of
feeling against this performance. for the
Windy City has not. in the past, been
noted especially for its fineness or deli

The incident is useful one, at any
rate, in this regard-that it is practical
demonstration of how little, in spite OF

HUMAN NATURE IN WASHINGTON
By FRED C. KELLY.

Senator Robert Love Taylor, OF Ten

back to a little preparatory school that
he attended when a youngster.
He tramped about the grounds in the
company OF the headmaster of the
school, thinking Of the care-free. youth

and his heart was saddened.
Still, he enjoyed the visit. and was

Leaving politics out Of it, about the

0ld-age Pensions.

There will be general qualification. we
imagine. over the announcement from
Judge Ebert II. Gary. Of the steel trust.
that the United States Steel Corporation
has determined to start a system of old
age pensions for its employees after jan
uary l. 1911. Judge Gary's announcement
comes hard on the heels OF the previous
statement by the same corporation that
the price of steel would not be reduced.
Willing and anxious always to think the
best of our fellow-men, We hope there is
no connection at all between the two
announcements.
1t Is evident from the elaborate plans
that have been formulated for the old
age pension idea that the steel corpora
ton has had this matter under considera-
ton for some time The steel trust has
a pension fund Of SSO00.000, ard to this is
added the Carnegie fund of A,OO0Oo0
making 100000 available for the begin
ming Of the system. The minimum pen
sion granted viii be SO month; the
maximum s.. 200 year. The amount to be
paid viii be gagged according to the last
ten years Of service of the employe and
the amount of wages received by the
employe during that decade. There are
TO be three classes Of pensioners. Com
pulsory retirement at the age OF seventy
for men and sixty for women is one
feature. and TO this is added voluntary
retirement at the age Of sixty for men
ard fifty for women, provided they have
been twenty years in the service.
We are glad that these benefits, albeit
they are founded in simple justice, will
accrue to the employees of the steel
trust; glad because It has long been
rather shameful to contemplate the
thousands of poorly paid employees and
contrast their earnings and their lives
with those Of the multi-miillonaires, made
so as a result Of labor. With the knowl-
edge OF the great discrepancy between
the bosses and the employees in the steel
corporation. the world has had little
sympathy with the so-called generous
benefactions OF some OF the steel mag
nates-the free libraries of Mr.. Carnegie
the art museums, the college endow-

THE MESSAGE.

In the message of President Taft TO
Congress the country at large may well
take pride. The length Of the docu-
ment may occasion some surprise and
comment. though most of Us viii agree
that this length is not due 70 redundancy
or the mere writing Of words, but is
caused by an evident and praiseworthy
desire on the part Of the Chief Execu-
tive 10 deal with the heterogeneous prob
iems of our government in such detail
as TO make them understood, not alone
by Congress. which has TO deal with most
Of them. but by the people. TO whom
Congress is responsible.
With some OF the recommendations Of
President TAFT there viii be hearty ac-
cord. just as surely as that some others
OF them will be disapproved by a por-
ton of the people. There will be. Of
course. differences OF opinion with the
President in such matters as increase Of
postage on magazines, ship subsidies
the leasing of coal lands, the fertilization
OF the Panama Canal-honest differences
of opinion as well as interested ones:
but this was to be expected. for while
the message is sane, conservative, pains
taking. and thorough. it is not. and was
evidently not meant to be, colorless.
The message impresses its readers as
the carefully considered statement of a
man who has kept himself closely in
touch and sympathy with all branches of
the government of which he is the ap-
pointed leader 1t contains nothing
startling or sensational; proposes moth
ing radical; views nothing with alarm.
1t would impress a foreign reader as the
business statement of a nation that was
serenely confident of itself and its own
powers; fairly and healthily content
with things as they are: having faith in
the future.
At home, so conservative, sane, and re-
assuring is the message, it should have
the effect Of quoting business fears; en-
HANGING the confidence which, in spite
Of political oratory. the people at large
feel in their national government, and
cause US all 10 feel periodically proud
OF the stability, the utility. of our insti-
tutions. Above all, it is an optimistic
message; through even its minor de-
tails. into which President Taft has
deemed it wise TO go more thoroughly
hope and confidence, and at this time
such sentiments are needed.
The message viii, we are sure. be
gratefully received by the country, and
should prove an aid and stimulus to the
Congress to which it is addressed.

The President and the District.

President taft. unlike some Of his pred
ecessors. gives more than perfume
tory attention TO the affairs OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia His interest is whole
hearted, keen. active, and ambitious He
is a devoted Neutrality-suspicious. to its
needs, appreciative OF its beauties, and
optimistic of its future as the magnifi-
cent Capital of the greatest nation. He
shares the high ideals of all who would
see the city expand and develop on
proper lines into model capital. the
pride of the country. And it is worth
much to washington 10 have such a
friend in the White House.
Washington Is national city-a city
belonging to the whole oountry-and as
such its affairs must and win be dealt
with. if our dreams of the city's. great
ness are to be realized
This newspaper is in full accord with
the District recommendations in the
Presidents message. Perhaps it is toe
much to hope that Congress viii al once
see the wisdom. if not the necessity, OF
the purchase from Virginia OF the Pail
sades of the Potomac, but. looking 10 the
future. this ought to be done.
Too much emphasis cannot be put
upon the need OF a greater concentration
Of authority and responsibility in the
District. Certainly the parking system
should be handled as a whole and be
under one direction.
The ACCESSIBILITY of giving the Commits
sioners authority over our public utiI1-
ties none can gainsay. It was a short
sighted arrangement ever to have vested
the control OF these corporations in a
subordinate body Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and, since the com
mission itself asks 10 be relieved Con
gress should promptly correct the mis-
take by placing the control where II
properly belongs.
The school system should be under tht
control OF the Board OF District Com
missioners. Of course. Divided authority
/ leads TO confusion and friction. naturally
and the wonder is that the existing sys
tenn. inherently faulty. has survived 81
long. It is the system. or rather the
organization-not the schools themselve:
OF the board OF education-that is now thI
subject of Executive criticism. But tht
suggestion of a board Of visitors appoint
ed by the Supreme Court 10 act with and
under the authority Of the District board
would. In our opinion. make fol
continued friction and confusion in {
smaller way. Give the Commissioner
full authority and responsibility, with tn,
appointing power.
Especially gratifying is the President
unqualified Endorsement of the Judsor
plan to meet the financial needs Of tn,
District for a period of years. This il
a plan carefully worked out which ha.
stood the test OF discussion and won tn,
approval of the city, and Congress should

President Taft has rendered the DIS
