PRESIDENT NAMES COMMITS
SION ON FINE ARTS.

President Taft has named the seven
men who viii serve as a commission on
fine arts, under recent legislation
enacted by Congress. This commission
is expected to give decisions as to the
location of statues and monuments in
the public squares, streets, and parks
in the District and to advise in the
selection Of models, monuments, and
the like for the Government generally.
Daniel H. Burnham, a Chicago archi-
tect of prominence, viii be chairman
of the commission. Mr.. Durham is
well known for his work, one of his
creations being the Union Station of
Washington, which is conceded to hold
front rank among the worlds finest
structures of that sort. Associated
with Mr.. Burnham viii be other archi-
tects and artists of national reputation.
The commission will be a permanent
feature of the Government. The mem
bers are not to receive salaries, and are
expected to do the work in large
measure for the love Of it and the
honor of it. One of the most important
functions of the commission will be to
advise generally upon questions of art
when required to do so by the Presi-
dent or by any committee of either
house Of Congress-"
Such body as is now appointed has
long been needed. That the effects Of
its oversight of art matters viii soon
be apparent in the District and over
wider range is to be hoped and ex-
pected.

Ca pital Tales
Young Man With Nerve.

I f THE Honorable Charles erik, of
1 Davenport. who was nominated for
Congress by the Republicans of the
Second Iowa district the other day,
comes through at the polls next So
vember, there will be added 10 the
forces Of insurgency one who in his
own bailiwick has been known Of late
years as Young Man With His Nerve.
Mr.. erik is the young man who three
or four years ago put over a blur on
the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, and
escaped with the pot. Mr.. Roosevelt
decided not TO show his cards, and lost
interest in the accumulation of sweet
enings' that occupied the center OF
the table. 1t was like this.
They were having one Of those red
hot campaigns in Iowa over a nomina-
ton for governor. Mr.. Cummins was
a candidate. and young Mr. erik was
chairman of the Republican county
committee at Davenport, and a sup
porter o. Cummins. Leslie NJ. Shaw.
then Secretary Of the Treasury, was the
most devoted enemy Cummins boosted
in all the world. and the Iowa powers
in Washington had been determinedIy
trying to get President Roosevelt to
NN@AAo a manu- al DHEgoAAAIAA u AAAAAAAAAAA1-
The Administration had leaned decided
~ against Cummins, but had commit
ted no overt act.
So one morning Lhe press dispatches
carried a statement by Secretary Shaw
that he had been invited TO Davenport
to make an anti-Cummins speech. and
that after consultation with President
Roosevelt he had decided TO cancel an
other engagement to speak at Syracuse.
n. Y. and go to Davenport and talk
against Cummins."
That sounded decidedly like an au-
thOrized Administration pronouncement
Of hostility TO Cummins, and when the
news got 10 Iowa there was great ex-
element in the Cummlns camp. Every
body was scared white In the face over
the opposition OF Roosevelt, but no
body knew what 10 do about It. No
body except young Mr.. erik. He was
the very maddest man IN Iowa
So, taking his trusty typewriter in
hand, Mr.. erik indited a telegram 20
Theodore Roosevelt. White House,
Washington, d. c. He quoted the Shaw
statement and added something Ike
this:
We want to know whether YOU have
authorized Secretary Shaw TO speak Tor
the Administration against Governor
Cummins. We are going 10 carry this
county anG the State for him. and We
need 70 know whether. when We have
done it. We Will be considered as hay-
ing defeated the Iowa reactonaries
only, or the Iowa reacuonaries plus the
National Administration"
The President lost no time answering.
He disoTned the assumption OF Secre-
tary Sh,lw OF speaking for the Admins
tratiOn. sal dthe Administration was not
opposing Cummins-and gave the CORE
spOndence TO the press for publication.
Young Mr.. erik juBt smiled.

1t is difficult TO characterize in the
right terms and at the same time ex-

and preserve the outward signs of re-

leaders in Congress are now taking
with respect to needed District legis-

Monday of this week was District
day in the House, but the needs of the
District were ignored. District day
was sidetraeked, as it was two weeks

SENATOR DOLLIVER ON THE
PATRONAGE CLUB.

Senator Dolliver of Iowa, in a
Senate speech Of great power and
eloquence, defended the course Of the
insurgents in Congress, and warmed
those leaders who are assailing the
progressives and trying to drive them
out of the Republican party. Senator
Deliver made it clear and emphatic
that he does not propose to be driven
out Of the party, but fully intends to
stay in that organization and fight 10
get rid Of the existing leadership. Like
Clifford Pinchot, Dolliver wants the
special interests divorced from politics
and he is going to help do the divorcing.
One feature of Senator Delivers
speech, out of the many noteworthy
ones, related to the use Of the Admin
istratiOn patronage club 70 drive mem
bers of the House and Senate 10 do this
or do that, TO vote for this measure or
vote for that, to refrain from criticising
one bill OF another. Senator Deliver
said he could not be driven out of the
party by lifting from his neck the mill
stone of Federal patronage. But he
voiced his hearty dislike OF the spec
tacle Of Representatives and Senators
being whipped into line by distribution
of offices to their constituents. He
said:
In common with good citizens every
where, / share the universal disgust
which has arisen on seeing the great
est executive department made the head
politics, bucketshops for dealing in polH
Cal futures upon margins calculated
from the record OF yeas and nays.
1t is well understood that the Ad-
ministration has developed a system
Of rewards and punishments whereby
those who oppose measures favored by
the President find their recommends
tons for postoffces and other Offices
are not considered One wonders in
what sort Of political blindness this
system originated. Wrongful in theory,
it is utterly useless and worse than
useless in practice 1t is calculated to
harm the Administration infinitely
more than it hurts the progressives in
Congress.
