Public Building Provisions.

The bill introduced by Senator Scott to
provide for the construction of one or
more buildings on the Mall-Avenue
squares recently acquired by the govern
ment wisely leaves open the question
whether there shall be one or three struc-
lures to accommodate the three DEPART
ments for the accommodation of whose
reeds the land was purchased The de-
otsion of this point is left to the Score
taries of State and Commerce and Labor
and the Attorney General at whose dis
posai Is to be placed s15,0O0,OOO for the
erection of the building or buildings. The
Immediate passage of the bill need not he

of the departments under one roof The
measure should be enacted into law as
early as possible during this session, the

Immediately available.
The government has not been fortunate
in the matter OF combining several de-
partments in one building. When the
State. War and Navy building was
erected it was urged that great convent
ence would result from the close associs-
tion OF these offices, which often are in
intimate relationship officially. In point of
fact the advantage gained by joint occu-

Federal Motor License.

Congress Is asked by the members of
the Automobile Association of America
legislative convention of which is
now in session in this city. to pass "a
federal registration bill. designed to
facilitate interstate touring by the es-
tablishment OF system Of United
States licenses. 1t is proposed to en-
able a motorist who desires to pass ont
OF his own state to secure federal
registration which authorizes him to
proceed as far as he wishes so long as
he conducts himself in accordance with
the local rules Of the states and COM
munities through which he passes. The
advantage to the motor tourist In
such a plan is that he is relieved from the
necessity of procuring a license from
each state through which he passes
and Of exhibiting in each state the license
tag issued by that state. Some of the
commonwealths prohibit the display of
any other tag than that OF their own is
sue, and thus a tourist. especially in
the east. where state boundary lines
are frequently reached. is put to the
necessity of constantly changing tags.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, though much talked at and
talked about, is very seldom heard. Its
rarity alone would. therefore, have
given particular interest to Mr.. Can
mons little speech on the floor of the
House Monday on the subject of
party responsibility. 1t must be con-
ceded that at the present stage of polit-
ical development government by party
is not only the accepted system, but
apparently the only system possible.
The country is too vast, the representa-
tives of the states in Congress assem-
bled are too numerous and the business
referred to them is too extensive and
various to be separately considered by
each of them. A Congress of several
hundred individuals, each acting on his
own personal responsibility, must be
hopelessly inefficient 1t would be al
most equally so, we have seen in
some European chambers, IL divided
into independent groups or blocks. Amer
lean as well as English experience has
settled upon the theory that the majority
party shall be held responsible for 1egis-
lation and the experience of the House
has added to this the necessity of organ
ization and rules of procedure that shall
secure to the majority the control OF the
public business. This includes the di-
vision of the dsliberative work among
committees, and the necessary authority
OF the committees to determine the meas
ures to be presented to the whole House.
1t includes also the authority of the pre-
siding officer. under the rules. to regulate
debate. Without this business could not

Potomac Park.

President Taft's personal interest in the
development of Potomac Park should 20 a
long way toward securing from this Con-
sress an appropriation to continue the
work In development of that splendid res
ervation. AT present only about one-haIf
OF the total area of the park has been
improved. The people are barred from
access to the southeastern portion, lying
beyond the railway line. in itself an area
OF great advantage in the maintenance of
the public health. The estimates for the
treatment of this part of the park reach
the sum of $4,000 for beginning the con-
struction of roads. The land has now
sufficiently settled. since the dredging op-
erations were finished, to permit of con-
struction work similar to that which has
been prosecuted in the northern section.
The extension of Potomac drive along the
periphery of the extremity of the park
will give the capital the finest speedway
in the world.
This work will have to be done even
tually. Congress has formally designated
the reclaimed area as park for the rec
reation of the. people, and is therefore
pledged to prosecute its Improvement as
rapidly as conditions permit The Presi-
dents plea is for the immediate execution
OF the plans drawn, SO that the spectacle
will be avoided of unfinished work wait
ng for congressional initiative. The ex-
penditures will be distributed over a num-
Der Of years and will not impose a burden
upon the Treasury. Probably the appro-
priation now sought will not be ex-
ceeded in any one season. If this money
is given at the present session il will be
possible for the people to use the lower
part of the park in about a year from
now, and the extended driveway will be
OF value in keeping the public in good
health during the summer of 1911.
Washington's chief glory is it's array of
parks The Rock Creek Park is a marvel
of natural conservation. The GEOLOGICAL
Park is an object OF constant interest to
many thousands. The Mall is of infinite
benefit in preserving the health of the
Hemmunity. Soldiers Home Park lis A
constant JOY to lovers of nature. Potomac
Park, even in its incomplete condition.
has proved a wise investment, and its ex-
tension will give to the national CITY a
siser-front preserve unequaled in extent
and attractiveness.

pancy Of q single building was far more
| than Offset by the disadvantage of posi-
tive restriction of space. Immediately
after the first occupation of the building
1t was found that not one of the three
departments was sufficiently accommo-
dated. all having grown during the course
or construction. 1t was impossible to ex-
tend the building architecturally, and
from practically the outset of the joint
occupancy each department head was
trying to obtain for his force a larger
share OF the room. Failing this 1t was
necessary to accommodate bureaus of all
three of the departments outside.
1t might be possible to plan building
on the five-square site in a manner TO
permit of extensions from time to time In
accordance with artistic design, so as
to provide for the growth of the three
departments housed within it. This is
question for architects to answer. The
Scott bill properly leaves it to the Secre-
taries and their technical advisers. OF
course. the same problem presents itself
in less degree in the case of each build
ing IL three should be erected, one for
each department. and it is desirable In
any event to lay out the ground which Is
to be occupied in a manner to permit ad-
ditions.
simultaneously with the passage of the
Scott bill there should be an enactment
providing for the taking of the remainder
OF the Mall-Avenue triangle. 1t is highly
appropriate that this land should be for
mally pre-empted by the government for
the uses to which it is inevitable that 1t
will be put sooner or later. Even when
the departments of Commerce and Labor.
State and Justice have been properly
housed there will remain numerous de-
tached bureaus inadequately provided for
in privately owned structures. The re-
moval of the State Department from the
building it now occupies will hardly
make room for the outside bureaus of the
War Department. That department could
fill the entire building of which it is now
only a co-tenant 1t is fair estimate
that at the least five other large struc
lures are needed today in addition to
those which are contemplated by the
Scott bill. The government is virtually
pledged to the policy of locating its build
ings in the future within the Mall-Avenue
area, and 1t is only a matter of good
business and common sense provision for
the future to act now to take the space
which will surely be needed within a
decade.

Presidents Isolation.

TOM inc CnrIstIHH ocftnVe N1oHfeof.
After all, maybe 1t isn't so much fun
to be the President of the United States.
Perhaps there is more quiet. sOciable
satisfaction In being a non-commissioncd
officer in the great army of just common
folks. There is almost of necessity a
condition suggestive of loneliness attach
ing to every eminent, exclusive or I'M
usual position in life. Whatever in the
nature Of wall or fence or social or off,
cial barrier serves to shut the crowd out
tends to shut the individual in. One
cannot enjoy the honor and distinction of
occupying position above the level Of
the multitude and at the same time feel
that sense of intimate sociability that
comes of touching elbows with ones
fellow-beings. The normal, ordinary NOR
tai does not particularly enjoy being too
much in the presence of his superiors.
especially if he is expected to make the
attempt of presuming to meet them on y
level.

Taft and Harmony.

None the less because of being the
representative in the White House of all
the people, the President is the leader of
his party. And the duty of a leader is
to lead. He should keep informed OF
party affairs. and in touch with the men
in the different states in charge of them.
Mr.. Taft is acting upon this idea. While
ia New York Saturday he met the leading
republican managers of that state, and
heard reports from them about the local
situation. That he is concerned about
the scandals and divisions recently de-
veloped over there is an easy guess. His
party friends generally are. What he
advised, specifically, is not public prop
erty. But he must have advised har-
mony. and getting together on lines APP
pealing TO the voters. He wants the party
TO win, and sees the value of victory
Last night Mr. Taft entertained at din
ner the principal Ohio republicans, and
heard their views about home affairs.
Naturally, he is much interested in his
own state. AS in New York, there are
some scandals and divisions there, and
these must be considered in preparing for
the campaign. Mr.. Taft wants Ohio-not
alone because Gov. Harmon is trying to
lay the foundations for a presidential
candidacy. If that feature were entirely
eliminated, 1t would still be important
for the state to go republican this year
The verdict of 1.-The old folks at home on
the administration to date will engage

lie and Gov. Hughes differ as to the In
come tax and the latter has dealt that
proposition the heaviest blow so far de-
hvered. But that fact did not appear at
the New York meeting. What did ap-
pear was the desire of both men for re-
Publican success in the state this year,
and declared purpose by both to help
bring it about.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Beveridge differ about
the Payne law-the former praising, the
latter condemning it. But they are con-
ferring and working together for their
party's good this year. Mr.. Taft is

many good places. and otherwise show

justified in sulking because of Mr. Bever-

Jeferson's Turn Next.

The next birthday anniversary of note
in our politics falls on April ID. Mr.. JEFF
ferson's memory will be celebrated then
with feaSting and eulogy by men who
conjure with his name. A dinner will be
eaten in his honor in this town, and
among the guests expected are several
democrats whose friends regard them
as of presidential size and are canvass
ing their merits in connection with 1912.
Mr.. Jefferson, Gen. Jackson and Mr..
Lincoln still figure in the political equa-
ton. Their spirits still influence the ac-
lions of men engaged in the shaping of
public policies. Their lives are studied
by statesmen for pointers. Their achieve
ments afford texts for orators and leader
writer's appealing for votes. No national
campaign Is complete, SO to say, without
them.
Whether they are well or i'll used is a
question. Many democrats declare that
were Mr.. Lincoln alive he would be train
ing with their party; that his sympathies
would all be with the contentious for
which that party now stands. And yet
Mr.. Lincoln on the tariff question was a
firm supporter of protection, and be-
lieved with equal sincerity in vigorous
assertion Of the national authority. 1t
requires imagination to associate him
with free trade, or the present day school
of state rights.
Many republicans, on their part, hold
that neither Gen. Jackson nor Mr.. JEFF
ferson is in proper employment as an
ally either OF the Bryan or the Wal!
street faction of the democracy. Mr..
Jefferson would turn with disgust from
all talk about anti-imperialism. and Gen.
Jackson with as strong feeling from the
men who manipulate values in and from
New York And both were good protec-
tionists in their day.
Gen. Washington, whose anniversary
comes in between that of Mr.. Lincoln and
that of Mr.. Jefferson. escapes this OAR
tisan service. 1t would not be appro-
pirate to describe him as a mugwump.
for he is never forced to take either
side. His shade is permitted to stand
apart. The most confident and aggres-
sive spellbinder never asserts or under
takes to prove that Washington, IL In
the flesh, would be on his side. The
father of his country falls in better
with the Fourth OF July, when all par
tisanship is sunk in patriotism, and men
talk more about holding the country 20
gether than particular means for run
ming the government. The farewell adj
dress is the Washington document most
quoted, and he Is a poor democrat or
republican who does not subscribe with
out reservation to that.

Relation of Newspapers to Morals.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


1t was suggested in Pittsburg some time
ago that church people stop reading news
papers during Lent. Immediately there
arose a hue and cry whose echo was car
ried all over the country. The suggestion
fell fiat because even the most prominent
clergymen ridiculed the idea and laughed
at it as bizarre and fantastic. There
was something decidedly Illogical about
1t, too. The men who proposed the denial
evidently overlooked the fact that IL a
newspaper is not fit to read during Lent
it Is not fit to read any other time. That
with the big majority of papers such is
not the case was argued by the Rev. DIR.
Randall of New York, in an address be-
fore the Baptist Ministers Association in
this city. The doctor went even further
and upheld the daily newspaper as an
aid TO morality in the great cities.
