An Art Commission.
From the Milwaukee Free Press.

FROM the milwaukee Free FfeeS.
The bill creating a national commission
of fine arts has finally passed both houses
Of Congress. 1t is to consist of seven
well qualified judges to be appointed by
the President and confirmed by the Sen
ate. Considering the dubious confidence
with which art critics and authorities are
regarded at this time, this amenability
of Congress to expert supervision of the
governments art and architecture must
be matter for congra.ulation.
1t is true that the commission will act
merely in an advisory capacity. and that
Congress can take or leave its recon-
mendations a s it sees fla limitation
which to some will suggest endless pos
sibilities for delay and defeat. This,
however. is looking at the dark side of
the prospect. 1t would be strange, in
deed II a body Of recognized authorities
could not make sufficient impression upon
Congress. which assuredly is not exclu-
sively made up OF "barbarians," to ele-
vate the standard of the government s
operations in the field of art.

the two men will enjoy the meeting, and
each be able TO make workable ap-
praisement of the other from personal
contact
Are they so much alike? Would each
in the others place haye made the
others record? Would the kaiser as an
American President have tackled the
abuses Mr.. Roosevelt did, and carry him
self toward Congress and the country in
the Rooseveltian fashion? Would Mr..
Roosevelt as a German emperor have
borne himself as the kaiser has done, both
toward friends and foes: Would he have
made himself the most talked of man in
Europe, and the subject of more con-
Trajectory speculation than any European
ruler in half a century
In some things there are points of re-
semblance. Both men are impulsive-
quick on trigger. Both love power. Both
are patriotic. Each is a stage manager of
genius. They know how to mount a
drama and secure full house for it..
Each has a large conception of things.
and both are impatient of restraint. Each
is a master politician according to his
school and training.
The rest is speculation none too safe.
The representative German who has
made a new home for himself in Amer
lea has shaken down easily and become
one of the best and most useful of citi-
zens. Does that argue that the kaiser in
the White House would have taken hold
like an old hand at the bellows and made
great name for himself as President?
Who may say?
Mr.. Roosevelt is very popular with our
citizens of German birth and extraction.
They have always been among his warm
est supporters Does that argue that as
German emperor Mr.. Roosevelt would
have exercised the same influence on Ger
man subjects? Who may say?

Precedents and the Organic Act.

Precedents are mischievous. A good
action requires no precedent, but bad
| one seems always to rest for its justif1ca-
ton upon some former procedure. Here
| is the law, plain as the alphabet, requir-
| ing that to the extent that Congress ap-
proves the estimates of the District Com
mssioners it shall appropriate fifty per
centum out of the revenues of the United
States and the remainder shall be raised
by taxation upon the property within
the District of Columbia at the rate OF
$1.5O per hundred. The organic act, which
is more than an ordinary statute in that
it is a partnership agreement which
should be scrupulously observed in all
particulars until formally rescinded,
makes no reference to separate classes of
items of municipal upkeep. 1t discrimi-
mates in no degree between the police
department., or the fire department., or
the schools, or the health department., or
any other branch of the municipal or
ganization. When Congress starts any
work that is of municipal character
and makes it part of the city's equipment
for the benefit, pleasure. safety or health
of the people it obigates itself to con-
tinue to provide for the maintenance OF
that work as long as it remains a part OF
the municipal equipment and as long as
the organic act remains unrepealed or,
after proper consideration, unamended.
Precedent or no precedent-this to say
excuse or no excuse-the House cannot
ignore the fact that by insisting upon
this whole cost" provision for play
grounds it is violating the letter and
the spirit of the organic act. 1T makes
no earthly difference that a mistake was
made when the Fairgrounds item was
originally voted upon by the House and
it was placed upon this basis. That mis-
take was of a dual character. The friends
of play grounds erred seriously in ac-
cepting a despairing proposition from
the appropriations committee and the
appropriations committee and it's friends
erred as seriously in their capacity as
distributors of the public funds when
they, for the sake of little parliament
tary maneuVering, played smart trick
upon their then opposition and bluffed
the whole cost" paragraph into the bill.
At not time has the Fairgrounds item
been voted on by the House at this ses-
sion with result according with the
formal pledge of the United States to the
District of Columbia to pay one-half of
all the municipal expenses approved by
Congress.
Further insistence by the House upon
this item because it has already taken
a position and has already insisted upon
that position may result in still further
postponing the enactment of the appro-
priation bill. But the responsibility for
the delay and for the consequent losses,
which are perhaps overstated at $1,000 a
day, cannot be shifted to those who are
trying to prevent the House from writing
this inequitable paragraph into the law
and thus adding one more to the danger
Gus, unfair. faithless precedents that have
been established from time to time.

The Polish Patriots.

1T is eminentIy fitting that the monu-
ments erected by the American republic in
honor of Casimir Pulaski and Thaddeus
Kosciuszkc should be unveiled in this cit
or the same day. The names of these
two Polish patriots. who offered their
services to the American cause when ii
was most SoreIy in need of friends. are in
separately associated. Their motives were
identical. They had fought for Poland,
to find their efforts unavailing, and ii was
natural that in their despair at the failure
of liberty in their own land they should
turn to the west, where a brave people
were struggling to throw off the rule of a
distant monarch. Pulaski and Kosciuszko
found here Congenial field of effort, for
the principles for which they had fought
at home were virtually identical with
those for which the colonists were strug-
Cling.
Pulaski gave his life for the American
cause. He was the ideal dashing caval-
ryman, intrepid. even reckless. the idol of
his followers. an invaluable man in main
tanning the morale of fighting force. He
received his mortal wound in an effort to
save the flag at Savannah. No better
American ever fell in the cause of the new
soldier. So highly were his services ap-
Congress set in motion the process of pro-
viding a suitable memorial to him. and 1t
is a singular fact that the impressive
bronze unveiled today is the outcome OF
that enterprise of over $50 years ago.
Kosciuszko differed from Pulaski in
temperament as ne did in services and in
~;. Of h 10 hos
been called the scientist of the revolution.
His skill as an engineer stood the Amer
lean forces in good stead on many an
occasion. He was a designer of fortifica-
tions. a student Of equipment, an invalua-
bic man in the administrative work of an
army. Yet he was a dashing soldier when
the call to battle sounded, displaying the
same fiery temperament on the field un-
der the impulse of the necessities of COM
hat as did his compatriot Pulaski. He
survived the war and returned to Europe.
always hoping for Poland's day of free
dom. which never came. His old age was
pathetic. a series of disappointments. He
never forgot America. but held it. as his
adopted mother country. in the highest es-
TEEN and reverence. and today's recogni-
tion of his services is but deserved trib-
ute to one who indeed proved himself a
friend I'm the hour of need.
These two statues attest to more than
the services OF Pulaski and Kosciuszko.
They are a tribute as well to the rich con-
tributions that have been made by the
Polish people to American civilization.
The Poles in America have proved them
selves an exceptionally valuable addition
10 this population. and it is wholesome
and encouraging to observe the enthu-
siasm and pride with which they regard
this dual unwilling in Washington. They
are worthy representatives of the indomi-
table spirit of the best citizenship which
sent Pulaski and Kosciuszko across the
seas to the new land to assist in estab-
fishing a nation upon the basis of self
government.

Loss of Life Through Carelessness

From The PhlladeIph1a Inquirer.
Each year there are deaths and in

Of any year in the late bloody civil war.
1t is estimated that almost half q million
deaths and injuries take place each year
in the ordinary course Of business which
are due either to the carelessness of
some employee or the worse than care
lessness of the employer. Human life
is less safeguarded In this country than
in any other in the civilized world. 1t
is a terrible indictment, and, unfortu-
nately, II is undeniable.
