THE TIMELY ADVENT OF
PAULINE WAYNE.

The aching void in the White House
cow-shed, caused by the untimely
death Of Gertrude, has been filed at
last by the highest type of nobility
in the bovine peerage. The comfort
as well as the cost, of Presidential liv-
ing has received material aid, and
Executive documents may be expected
henceforth to show not less than IA
per cent bUtter-fat
Ohio may turn to clabber and the
Empire State become a tasteless whey.
The souring thunderstorm OF intestine
strife may beat against the very
White House steps. But in a quiet
little retreat on the back lawn the
living creamery viii chew her aristo-
cratic cud, the current of her life as
smooth as her glossy coat.
The long pilgrimage to the Execu-
tive Mansion, inspired by a lively
sense Of favOrs yet to come, Is broken
by, benevolent exception. If some
one can be persuaded to give Pauline
bee for a stable-mate, the Presiden-
tial mahogany viii flow with milk and
honey, for the tactical queen of the
House of HoIstein has come to dis
pense 10 niggard cheer. Her pre-
decessor belonged to the upstart House
Of Jersey. While good enough in her
way, she had no such quarterings in
her 'scutcheon as Pauline can boast.
First interviews on what she thinks
Of Washington give the impression
that, while Kenosha has its charms
Pauline is pleased with the Capital
and is prepared to do her duty by the
Administration in its hour of need.
Beneath the name Of the she-wolf OF
Rome-whatever it was-write that
OF Pauline Wayne.

MAJOR JUDSON SPEAKS FOR
COMMISSIONERS.

The frank, direct speech of En-
gineer Commissioner Judson. delivered
before the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation last evening, is worthy of care
full consideration by every citizen OF
the District Of Columbia. It is the
first official utterance giving in detail
the ideas, purposes, and hopes of the
Commissioners as to their administra-
ton of affairs in Washington, and
showing the Commissioners conception
of their duty to the community and
of the relations between the admins
trative officers and the people.
To considerable extent, the address
may be accepted as the platform OF
the new board, as it was prepared in
consultation with the other members,
and is known to have their approval
Indirectly, It is also a reply to recent
criticism of the Commissioners and Of
some of their acts.
The present board has been in office
long enough to get the machinery Of
government repaired, improved, and in
good running order. The various de-
partments and divisions of the Dis
trict establishment have been rear
ranged according TO a system which
the Commissioners believe will bring
effective cooperation. The board is
now entering upon the broader work
entailed in the general projects for
permanent improvements and in the
accomplishment of maximum results
from current expenditures.
The groundwork upon which the
Commissioners are building is the
economic principle of keeping expeDdi-
lures on a par with or a little below
revenues, and it was this problem
which occupied the major portion of
Commissioner Judson's attention last
evening. He explained that the Com
missioners, in observing this theory

which the Springfield News Company
has its home and was cut off by the
flames that lit the wreck, she splieed
a rope, calmly arranged her hair, and
on her way down stopped to see, from
the reflection in the window, if her

prevailed around her, and Springfield

The incident gives color to the con-
tention, by no means new, that in
great crises women are more heroic

mouse, they smile at a massacre. But
through it all the eternal feminine

of operation, are trying, and viii con-
tinue to try, to give precedence to the
most important projects, and to un-
dertahe those improvements which will
be of the greatest benefit to the Dis
trict as a whole.
Major Judson anticipates criticism
and opposition, which, it must be
recognized, are bound to come from
persons and interests that may coa-
slider themselves sighted. As he
pointed out, however, in the long run
the interests of all will be found to run
parallel to the interests of the Dis
trict as community.
The Commissioners have given ample
demonstration of good faith, of an in
telligent comprehension of the needs
of the people, and of a proper appreci-
alton of the restrictions placed upon
them by Congress. Their policy as to
the relation of expenditures to
revenues surely cannot be questioned
by any fairminded person. But it
must be remembered that in working
out that policy disappointment Is sure
to be the portion Of many people and
interests.
For the adoption of such business
like principle the Commissioners de
serve commentator. In working out
its difficult details they are entitled
to the cooperation and support of the
community.
If the Commissioners demonstrate,
later, that they are not working for
the general good there VIII be time
enough to criticise them and to de-
mand a change in their methods. Just
now they are justified in asking and
expecting to receive the intelligent
sympathy of every Washmgtonian.

duced fare for the pupils.
Mr.. hanson also pointed out that the
reduced fare would work no hardship
on the street car companies, as the
increased patronage OF their roads
would arsply repay them for any sac
rifce in the individual fares. In con-
clusion, the speaker noted the fact that
this idea had the indors ement OF the
Lincoln Park Citizens Association ana
the Federation Of CitizeEs' Associations.
George T Dietz. the secretary OF the
association. advocated the furtherance
Of Commissioner Judson's plan to Itil-
ize the power OF Great Falls for ths

resolution 10 this effect was accented
by the association without hesitation.

citation consisted in the election of six

CLOSE OF UNIQUE AND M
PORTANT CAMPAIGN.

The campaign which reached its
climax today has been marked bv al
most unexampled bitterness and bv
many spectacular incidents for an of
year Beginning with the attack Of
the insurgent Republicans in the House
upon the rules of that body and upon
CanpOnism and in the Senate ubon
AldrIchism, the party war was carried
into every Republican State, in MANY
OF which it produced chaos, the full
result of which will not be known
until the polls close tonight.
Beset as the party in power was
by internal strife, its troubles were
greatly accentuated by the fact that
1t is held accountable by many for
the high cost of living and dull bust
ness-things which it is the custom of
the voters TO hold the Administration
in office largely responsible for. In
addition to this, it has had to meet
the enemy under divided leadership.
No one can have watched the prog
ress' OF the campaign without recog-
nizing that Mr. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt are at loggerheads. A badly com
plieated situation has not been helped
by absence Of harmony. If on top OF
these handicaps we place the hystericaI
fears entertained or professed to be
entertained by a good many persons
of Mr.. Roosevelt's intentions for 1912.
it would be difficult to imagine
harder task than that the Republi-
cans faced when they went to the
people for vote of confidence.
If election forecasts are worth any
thing, there is to be a Democratic
landslide which will resemble an ava
lanehe. In Ohio, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, and, last but
not least, New York, there is con-
fdent anticipation of Democratic vic
tory; in some of these States it is ex-
Pected to be overwhelming.
1t viii be hard, in all probability.
10 determine the meaning of the bal
lots after the count is had. It is al
ready apparent that there viii be
fierce differences over what was the
effect of Mr.. ROosevelt's activities
unless, to the confusion of the sooth-
savers, the Republican rout should not
materialize. In this contingency the
admirers of the former President Wi.
have things pretty much their own
way. 1t can hardly be doubted that
he viii have saved desperate situa-
ton.
If Democratic hopes are verified.
however, the Colonel cannot escape his
full share of responsibility. In the
more likely event that neither the
worst fears of one party nor the CON-
plete hopes of the other nre realized
