Indiana and the Tariff.

Some of the Indiana republicans are
saying II is up to S.nator Beveridge to
write the platform for this years cam
paign in that state. and their tone sug-
gests that they would be glad to see his
work fail. The prize is the legislature
Mr.. Beveridge has no opposition In his
own party for reelection. A republican
legislature means another term in the
Senate for him. A democratic legislature
means a democratic colleague for Mr..
Shively. and he might mean a democratic
majority in Indiana two years hence.
AS we all know. Mr.. Beveridge was an
insurgent In the tariff fight last wear.
Certain schedules of the bill passed by the
House did not square with his idea OF
what revision should be- and lie opposed

and when the final vote was taken In the
Senate he recorded himself against the

Is there any. doubt that a ma jority Of. the
republicans OF the state. and a very large

The Hungarian Horror.

Tn. holocaust i'm the village of Oekreit
HunGary. Will stand one of the great
disasters in the history of the world. In
point OF loss of life 1t does not rank
With the Ring Theater fire In Vienna the
Fin OF December. 1881. when nearly loo
people lost their lives. Many were burned
t. death in the disaster of twenty-nine
Years ago. but the larger number were
taHocated and some died In the crush
1t the exits. The doors were built so
tnat they opened inward. and when the
people damned against them they could
pot be opened. and the fremen coming to
then rescue were compelled to chop into
the crowd. and thus several persons were
slain in the very act of loosng those be-
bind them.
The hungarian catastrophe was more
like the charity bazaar fire In Paris the
9th OF May. 1897, in that the structure
was decorated with dried branches of
tree and other light Undertake trim
nings At the charity bazaar fire in
which 80 people were killed the hall
became I. mass OF flames almost instantly
sfter the first flash, heing filed with the
thinnest Of draperes festooned in man
per to invite disaster. The blockade al
ine exits cost many lives.
\ peculiar element of horror enters into
the Hungarian catastrophe. The single
doc. which afforded entrance and exit
bad been literally nailed up after the hall
was filed in order to prevent the admis-
sion OF any of those VINO were left clam
orins outside. Thus when the flames
started there was literally no way out for
the fear-maddened people. Consequently
the percentage of death was probably
greater i'm this instance than in any other
known catastrophe of modern times.
The Iroquois Theater fire in Chica go
cost between five and six hundred lives
Many people were trampled 10 death, as
IN all other cases OF fire panic. The
flames leaped into the upper galleries
from the stage in manner to burn and
euffocate many scores before they had a
chance TO escape.
The Hungarian disaster is different
from practically all others of recent years
tn that it occurred in a small community
instead of a large center of population
such as Paris. Vienna or Chicago. Viewed
locally it thus becomes of greater magni
tude than any of the more destructiv,
holocausts of record.

ing the views of Senator Aldrich concern
ing the disputed schedules which finally
became the law? Is platform demanded
in the name of party loyalty which means
certain party defeat?
These questions are of immediate in
terest. The reasoning in the Indiana case
follows PARTISAN lines and raises practical
partisan considerations. The proposition
now, it is pointed out, is union against
the common enemy. There must be union
or defeat If Mr.. Beverage is defeated a
democratic senator comes in, and ms
vote will be a gain for an antl-protec-
ton tariff bill The tariff issue is not
closed The Payne law is not the last
word on the subject If the democrats
control the next House they will present
and p IS tariff bill, and the Senate on
the eve of the presidential campaign, VIII
have to say yes OF no
To any bill framed by democratic
House the Senate will say no. Even
the insurgents of this Congress VIII be
regulars then. The objection TO the
Payne bill in republican circles related
to the duties Of certain schedules In its
recognition of the principle of protection
1t was acceptable to every member OF that
party
What. then the everyday republican
partisan asks. is the wish of Stand-pa In
diana republicans? The presence of a
protectioniSt like Mr.. Beveridse in the
Senate. or of democrat holding COM
mission of party frankly anti-protec-
ton?

David J. Brewer,

Tor mere than twenty years David j.
Brewer was member Of the officia
community of Washington, having taken
ms place on the United States Supreme
oench January Il, 1870. From the outset
OF MS service in this capacity Justice
Brewer entered into the life of the ca pill al
As q citizen, identifying himself with its
activities and becoming year after year
More useful participant in it's construc-
tive sociological works. The country at
large knows but little of this phase of
the man whose sudden death has 50
Srievously shocked all who are acquainted
with him and are familiar with his Wig
orouS result-producing personality
The keen interest which Justice Brewer
took in the details Of life here at the
capital was characteristic of his judicial
career. He was a student and thinker
and YET man OF activity He was no
clcset philosopher. working out theories
in the privacy Of his study, but an assoc
ciate OF men, examining conditions at
close range and gaining his facts at first
hand The consequence was that his pub
lie utterances and his judicial decisions
were iilumina ted by an unusual breadth
OF knowledge and sympathy with human
conditions.
OF recent years there has been no more
vrle Instructive speaker on affairs of
moment than Justice Brewer His public
addresses have been exceptional for the
mater and the manner and have always
promptly challenged attention by the
vigor CT the views advanced. In this Jus
tee Brewer departed somewhat from the
traditions of the bench. He did not CON
slider that his Position as jurist deprived
MIN OF the freedom OF speech which Is
an inalienable right CT the American CIT
zen. This was fortunate viewpoint for
the country. for Justice Brewer has con-
tributed richly in the past decade to the
thought currents of the American people
In mis- judicial decs.o Justice Brewer
was inspired by large Americanism. He
aimed al giving the law its fullest power
in line win the obvious inteut OF its
trainers as limited by the restrictions OF
the feoeral Constitution. Some eXcsp-
tionally important cases were intrusted
to him, and while he often found himself
one of a divided court, his judgment was
always needed with the creates respect
by his colleagues and b. the public.
With his manifold activities. his rich
eloauence, his Teariessness In attacking
questions Of public Importance, his Wig
orous personality and his constructive
citizenship In the capital community. JUS
tice Brewer was llan of unusual parts,
whose place it Will be exceedingly di1ricult
TO fill In all respects. His death comes
at most inopportune time, with the SD
preme Court confronted with some Of the
most important issues that have been
brought before 1t in years. affe sting the
industrial orga nization o. the c.untry.
David J. Brewers analytical p-wers anu
fineness Of judgment would have been OF
value in the answering of the questions
which are abouG To be submitted To The

House has been deliberate in concurrine
in this legislation. but has at last agreed
in spirit of appreciation which augurs
we'll for the development of the Public
Library's usefulness.
The vitality important result of this
legislation will be the definite acceptance
of a branch library donation, which will
be of great value in the future. 1t was
necessary. in order to make sure of the
enjoyment hereafter of Mr.. Carnegie s
bounty in the matter of branches of the
central library. to accept the gift for one
building. Yesterdays action insures that
acceptance, so that whenever in years
to come 1T may be necessary or desira BILE

parts of the District and Congress is

and the site. if the citizens do not
follow the example of the people of Ia
koma Park and give the land, the money
for the building will be Immediately
available out of a fund created for that
purpose by Mr.. Carnegie
Yesterdays debate on this bill was graf
flying to the citizens of the District. in
that it showed the members of the
House TO be unusually we'll disposed to-
war1 the capital community. There was
no outbreak of the often-heard charge
OF mendicancy, no discussion of WAYS
and means to force the District to pa,
all the cost of public utility maintenance,
no criticism Of Washington from any
point of view. Practically all of the
speakers agreed that libraries are es-
Sential to the intellectual development of
the community and that branches assist
in the spread of knowledge and the
utilization to the utmost extent OF the
library facilities. The question az TO the
