Spring in Washington.

Ground hog predictions have not been
soverwhelmingly verified this year. The
little rodent certainly saw his shadow at
noon on the I'd OF February in this lati-
tude. for the was shining in an un-
clouded sky at that hour that day
and. according TO the tradition he hasten
ed holeward from his brief excursion for
prospect of forty-two more days Of win
ter. That time will expire one week from
today. but if the weather that has been
experienced during these past thirty Ave
days is TO be regarded as real winter
according to the ground hog standard
shat which remains will not be hard to
bear. In point OF fact. Washington has
been enjoying spring climate for the last
week ten days. The buds are coming
the trees The worms are coming out

appearing in the parks. 1t will take a
heavy snowfall to convince the residents
.ef this region that the ground hog is a

Back to Conference.

In sending the District appropriation bill
back into conference the House yester-
day did not affirmatively instruct it's rep
resentatives in conference to an insist
ence upon its provision that the entire
expense Of Fairgrounds maintenance and
equipment shall be born wholly from the
District revenues. The bill was returned
to conference virtually by the Speaker
himself. who in ruling upon a point of
order held that the conferees had exceed
ed their authority in changing the amount
of money carried by the item, inasmuch
as there is difference between the
House and the Senate on the question of
amount. There were and remain two diff
ferences between the houses. the Senate
disagreeing to the House provision putting
the whole cost on the District and the
House disa greeting to the extension of the
fund 10 meet the expenses of supervision
Thus the return of the bill to conference
is not necessarily on the question of the
division OF cost. There is room for COM
promise. For example. the House can
yield TO the Senate On the question of cost
division and the Senate can Yield 10 the
House on the question of supervision, il
trade of concessions appears to be
necessary.
The sentiment o. the House was not
clearly ascertained on the question of the
imposition of the whole cost OF the Dis
trict. motion was made to recede and
concur. that is To say. TO accept the Sen
ate's propositions This was separated
into TWO parts and vote was taken on
the motion To recede. on the first d.
vision a motion was carried by two votes
but on roll call IL was lost by thirty-one
There no division Of the differences
between the houses, so that the majority of
thirty-one may be construed as the meas
Of the opposition 10 the supervision
amendment OF the Senate as well as TO a
recession by the House from its vote to
impose the whole cost on the District OF
Columbia. In any case the margin is not
so great as TO warrant the House con-
ferees in regarding yesterdays vote as a
positive instruction TO insist that the
District shall bear the entire cost Of this
necessary municipal work.

Good Language.
From the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus Journal.
A very valuable habit for family to
acouire is that of using pure and precise
Ianpuare As a matter of art, such an
acquisition Is desirable There are beauty
and grace In the very form OF language
correctly and concisely spoken. There ID
a charm in the speaker who is careIul OF
his manner Of speech. But far more I'm
portant than the beauty OF correct speech
ia the intellectual vigor which II stimu-
lates and promotes The use OF good lam
guaee encourages the habit Of clear
thinking. Speaking well and thinking
we'll naturally go together The intel
lectual process largely controls the man
ner of expression. This does not COM
mend the use OF stilted and pompous Ian
xuaRe. for that can be, and sometimes is
used. to conceal the lack of thought. Our
object is to discourage mussy, incoheF-
ent. scrappy and slangy speech, because
II tends to ruin the mind and morals, TOO
people who use such language have con.
fused ideas, and lack an appreciation OF
what is true and beautiful. There Is
nothinr more serviceabe in making good
lean men and women out Of the children.
than a household habit OF clear and con-
cleo EXPRESSION. II promotes not only
thinking. but thoughtfulness, and thought
fujness ts one of the greatest virtues OF
home But make exact and proper
sn4ech one OF the institutions OF the home
and IT will remove from the heart many
anxieties for the future of the child.
