Local improvements.

The projects for municipal improvement
which Commissioner Judson suggests on
the strength of the prospective increase Of
the local tax revenues during the fiscal
year ending June 80 1912, are all calcu-
lated to arouse the enthusiastic support
Of every progressive Washingtonian who
aspires to see the federal capital become a
model city. They are exactly in line with
the general program of betterments long
contemplated, intended to make WASH
ington more beautiful, more healthful and
better morally. They are, furthermore.
of the nature of those works which are
designed for inclusion in the program of
improvements to be financed on a long
term basis such as that contemplated in
the so-called Judson plan.
The Star has always held that there can
be no consistent progress in the District
upon an equitable basis of finance until
Congress consents to formal systematic
separation of the items of current NANTES
nance and permanent improvement con-
tanned in the annual local budget. As
long as the present system prevails there
will be disposition at the Capitol to trim
the estimates on the current maintenance
side in order to swell the balances avail
able for the refunding of federal ad-
vances. Lacking such definite plan of
appropriations as that, for instance, pro-
posed by the Judson bill, any chance in
crease in the local tax revenues is alto
gether likely to be utilized by Congress
for the purpose of fastening the day of
floating debt extinguishment.
Washington is in no need Of additional
tax revenues. 1t now raises all that should
be expected Of 1t for the upkeep of the
municipal establishment, on the half-and
half basis prescribed by the organic act
of 1878. What it does need is a more
equitable use of it's revenues, and the hope
remains that Congress will soon see the
justice of appropriating the National Cap
.ital funds provided under that legislation
in a manner to yield a maximum of eff
cheney in every municipal department
while providing adequately for large i'm
provements of a permanent character in
a manner to enable the taxpayers of the
future to bear their just share Of the
cost.

The Iowa Republicans.

The Iowa Taft Club has disbanded.
Organized as an expression of approval
of the Presidents course. and disapproval
of the attitude of the insurgents of the
state toward him. IL emphasized the party
division and contributed to the existing
irritation.
1t may be admitted that the treatment
of the President at the Iowa state con-
vention was unworthy OF the occasion
Mr.. CumminS In his speech showed an
unfriendly spirit. and the resolutions gave
comfort to the democratic party through
out the country. The action was as near
reputation as the insurgents thought it
prudent to take. Naturally, the Presi-
dents friends there and elsewhere were
indignant.
But, II 1t is possible to obtain 1t. the
President wants harmony. and Is doing
what he can IN that behalf. He sees. as

Poetry and the Cost of Living.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The wife Of Richard LIE Gallienne, the
poet, has filed bill for divorce, accord
ing to a dispatch from New York. It
seems that the poet has not supported
her for seven years or more Hence the
suit While non-support for q matter Of
seven years is legal ground for divorce
In most states, Mrs. LIE Galliene, 1t seems
to us. should take into consideration the
difficulties in the way of a professional
poet OF late years these have been par
ticularly great. Most commodities, as she
must know very well. have gone UP 40 or
80 per cent In the last decade. Food,
clothes. house rent, amusements, wives,
stablishments-all these call for q great
deal more than they probably ever did
before. And yet 1t Is fact no doubt
easily verified that the price of poetry
has not by any means kept pace with the
general rise in prices We shouldn't be
at all surprised il even a superficial in
vestigation were to show that poetry was
actually selling for less today than it did
several years ago.

The Preoccupied Householder.

He was a man of simple Tnien
And yet of passing earnestness.
His mind, twas easy to be seen.
Was in a state of mild distress.
Quoth he: 1.-The winters drawing nigh;
The blossoming days, alas, are through
/ wonder when the snowlakes fly
Just what my heating plant will do!
1.-The public mind with mighty throes
May heave. And yet my closest care
Unto my dusty basement goes,
Where we produce our own hot air.
I hear the challenge to the fray
In which with wood or coal or coke
I keep my siege from day to day
Amid the wreathing battle smoke!
II know events are taking place
OF national weight at many points.
But 1t must be my lot to chase
Up stairs and down for leaky joints
Where geysers play or small cascades
Go ripping through the plastered wall
I shun your speeches and parades,
For must heed the heaters call!'

tons committee, where he Is recognised
as one of the strong men of the minority.
The District takes a particular interest
in him because of his intelligent grasp of
local questions and his disposition to deal
in spirit of breadth and Justice. with
the National Capital. But, apart from the
local consideration in this case. 1t would
be deplorable If after hts excellent serv-
ice in Congress he were to be displaced
for a new member. his eight years Of ex-
perience here wasted in order to pass the
honor to some other democrat. II the
organization of the House should fall to
his party such men as Mr.. Keliher will
be sorely needed to insure any degree Of
success.

Mr.. BRYAN a Bolter.

Mr.. Bryan has bolted. The act he
has denounced in others for fourteen
wears, with varying but always high
yehemence, he himself has now COM
mitted Regularity has been one OF his
cries. 1t was only the other day In a
compliment to Hoke Smith he used H.
and some weeks ago in speaking OF
1912 he suggested that the democratic
nominee should be a man who voted
right" in 1896.
No excuse will lie on the score that
at is such a little one" Mr.. Dahlman.
,t,is true. is only candidate for gov
ernor, and the issue. as Mr. Bryan sees
IL. is local. But the principle OF ma
jority rule and party discipline is the
same as that Mr.. Bryan invoked IN MS
first race for the presidency.
He Numbered at the men who refused
10 support the ticket in 1896. They had
been defeated in a fair and square contest
at a regularly organized and conducted
party convention, and as party men
should accept the result. He blacklisted
them. and recommended sackcloth and
ashes for their offense.
Now what has he done? What, but
the same thing? The democratic state
convention of Nebraska was regularly
organized and conducted. Primary NOM
nations were ratified and platform was
adopted. Mr. Bryan was a delegate, and
was accorded every consideration. The
convention heard him on the question OF
local option, and he spoke with all the
eloouence he could command. But he
lost. The convention rejected his views
and expressed its own by a substantial
majority.
Was not Mr. Bryan bound by the &C
ton? AS much so as he held the gold
democrats we're bound by the action OF
the Chicago convention of 1896. In this
matter he copies them. They justified
themselves on the ground that they had
never favored free silver coinage, and
that the policy if adopted would ruin
both the party and the country. He
justifies himself on the ground that he
has always opposed the influence of the
lidtlor interests in politics. and that the
present action Of the Nebraska demo-
cratic organization is distinctly in be-
half Of those interests.
Mr.. Bryan has taken a step which
reflects credit on him as man. He has
chosen to follow his convictions at a
risk to his political fortunes. But SO
did the gold democrats in 1896, and some
of them later. They have his indorse-
ment now after fourteen years. and

Tawney.

Mr.. Tawney's defeat was not 5lnex-
pected. It was threatened at the time the
Payne bill was passing through the
House. His course in that matter pro-
voked much criticism in both his dis
trict and the state at large, but he held to
his own views, and the President compli-
mented him for his courage by making
the speech indorsing the Payne law at
Winona, the home Of the representative.
Mr.. Tawney has been one Of his party's
strong men in the House, and his disap-
pearance from the field will be felt.
