Manurinq Pastures.

BY manuring pastures in winter
the grass is protected from the bad
effects of freezing and thawing, and
the fertility which should be lost by
allowing the manure to lie in stables
or lots is absorbed by the soil, ready
to feed the grass roots with the com.
ing of growing weather. Grass seed in
the manure will help to reseed the
pasture.

SUCCESS OF THE TIMES
CHRISTMAS PARTY.

The Washington Times wishes to
take this opportunity 70 thank the
hundreds of men, women, and children
Of Washington whose cooperation snd
assistance made possible the sucoeE
OF the little. folks Christmas party
gwen by the st Nicholas Girl"
More than 1000 children from the
humber homes of Washington were
made happy. Any one who looked
upon their bright faces and beheld
their JOY when they received their
presents on Saturday would join The
Times in the feeling that the effort 70
bring them into the broad circle Of
Christmas spirit which permeates the
city was well directed.
The Times Is particularly gratihed
at the ready response which followed
its suggestion that the children be
given a genuinely merry Christmas
So substantial vas that response, 50
prompt were the more fortunate people
of Washington IN giving money, toys,
and services, thst 1t was possible TO
provide each child with at least some
Of the things it wanted
There's q thought growing out OF the
Christmas party that may well be
taken home BY every person who con
tributed to the enterprise. and by
every other person whose circum-
stances are such that they need have
no fear that their own children won't
always have merry Christmases. It is
a thought that should remain with US
throughout the whole Of the new year.
Let US not bottle Up cur generosity,

WASHINGTON ON CHANGING
CONSTITUTIONS.

For 4 qua ter of q century the peo-
pie OF the United States have been en-
gagged in strenuous effort 70 change
the constitutional provision for the
election of Senators, TO take directly
into their own hands the performance
of this function.
At every turn they have been op-
posed by interests which have sought
20 PerPetuate the indirect method for
the purpose of making 1t easier for
them to dictate Senatorial elections
and 10 control Senators after they had
been put in ofsee- OF course, this has
not been openly admitted. For pur-
poses Of argument, these interests have
promulgated the theory that the Con-
stitution was AT inspired document,
and that to alter 1t by so much az the
striking out OF a comma would be
nothing more nor less than ascriIege.
Slowly the demand of the people for
al amendment to make Senators an
sEerable directly 20 the electorate has
been gaining ground, snd 1t now seems
possible the Senate itself, which has
always been the greatest obstacle to
the reform, VIII yield.
IF the patriots who built the Con-
stitution Of the United States could
return to earth today, there Is pretty
good reason 10 believe they would not
share the opinion of the gentlemen who
profess to believe the Constitution Is
q holy instrument, which was perfect
when constructed, which Is perfect to
day,which must remain perfect through
eternity, and which must never be
sAmPered with By latter-dsy plebefans.
George Washington Is on record as
@ressing some views decidedly in op-
position to the modern theory that we
must not touch the Constitution In
his famous farewell address TO the
people of America, published Septem-
br L, 1875, and announcing his inteH-
tion TO retire to private life, President
Washington made this statement:
The basis OF our political systems IL
the right Of the people to make and TO
alter their constitutions OF government.

THE MAURETANIA'S TRANS
ATLANTIC TRIUMPH.

When the Mauretsnia cast anchor
Thursday night at 1922 of Fishguard
she had made the record run to New
York and return in twelve days with
out hitch or inconvenience. The
hustling representative of the London
Daily Nail, who was spinning around
Washington a week ago, pulled into
the British metropolis on 2 special
train at an early hour Friday morn
ing.
There was but little doubt that the
ship would be able to maintain suffi-
Gent speed to make the round trip in
twelve days. The point which caused
most anxiety was whether It would be
possible for her to discharge her 5000
bags of mail in New York and take
on as many more, rePlenish her giant
larders, and store her bunkers with
nearly 1000 tons of coal, besides max
ing her exchange of passengers, all
within the prescribed time limit.
It is one of the most important re-
suits of the record test that this part
of the achievement was accomplished
quite as easily as she maintained her
average of 700 nautical miles q day.
The success of the venture was a
triumph for the marine engineer and
the naval architect, but it Is doubtful
If the development Of the future viii
be along the line Of increased speed.
