injury from fireworks. Not Fourth
OF July fire"
This is what the other cities have
been proclaiming as the record for
Washington last year Business in
terests and citizens have rallied to the
call splendidly. Taking the National
Capital as their standard, other com
munities this year viii have safe and
sane celebrations. The determination
seems to be to cut down the death and
accident statistics, provide wholesome
amusements, and demonstrate that
America can have a birthday party
without losing a few thousand eyes,
arms, legs, ears, noses, and other
necessary portions Of human anatomy.
There is every indication that the safe
and sane Fourth has almost arrived,
and that in another year or two it
viii be the rule and not the exception
in American towns.
But what is Washington doing?
Washington is having a hard tine TO
raise $4,000 for its safe and sane cele-
bration. Unless contributions are
speedily forthcoming a large part Of
our safe and sane program viii have to
be eliminated.
Are we content to start this whole
some reform and then sit idly by and
let the rest of the country carry it TO
successful elimination, while we revert
to the old ways2
Unless Washington comes through"
handsomely within the next day or
two this question must be answered
in the affirmative.

ROOSEVELT ANNOUNCEMENT
OF FUTURE PLANS.

Prior to landing at New York to re-
ceive the acclaim of the waiting thou
sands, Colonel Roosevelt gave out an
interview. In this interview, after
referring to his deep enjoyment of his
trip abroad, he discussed his plans for
the future.
I shall have nothing whatever TO say
in the immediate future about politics,
and viii hold no interview whatever on
the subject with anyone, and anything
Lurporting TO be an interview with me
that may appear can be safely set
down at once as an invention
The significance Of this is not to be
underestimate. If Mr.. Roosevelt li-cs
up to this advance notice of his inten-
lions he will do Just what has been
predicted for many weeks in the best
informed quarters. That is, TO find
out for himself what has been going on
in his absence. He viii hear all sides,
and will make up his mind what course
to take after consulting all the evil
dence.
Those who have expected him TO
hurry home and give a sweeping in
dorsement of the Taft Administration
viii be disappointed, and those who
have thought to drag him into the Con
gressional campaign to help out the
regular organization in the House viii
be disappointed likewise. Or the other
hand, he is not going to do as some
would have him-criticise the course
Of the Administration. He is, in fact,
taking the only just and wise course
he can under the circumstances.
Eventually he viii no doubt have some
thing to say on the political situation,
and the force of it VIII be the greater
if it is clear he has waited until he
had time to study what has occurred
in his absence ard has had time %
put himself abreast of the swift march
of events since he sailed for Africa.

GASLEGISLATION MAY GO BY
BOARD.

There is grave danger that the much
needed gas legislation for the District
Of Columbia Will get lost in the shuttle
during the closing days Of the present
session of Congress. 1t IS announced
that Chairman Smith, of the House
District Committee, Is striving TO have
the House set aside a few hours for
the consideration OF District bills, but
coupled with this is the statement that
only such bills as have already passed
the Senate vii. be put to vote. The
gas measures would fall outside any
such agreement, for they originated in
the House District Committee and are
on the House calendar. The Senate
has not yet seen them officially.
It will be a frightful injustice to the
people of Washington if these meas
ures fail of consideration by the House
at this time. Many weeks of investi-
cation stand behind the proposed gas
legislation, which has been recon-
mended by unanimous vote Of the
House District Committee. Even if
there is no hope of getting the meas
ures through the Senate at this ses-
sion they should he passed by the
House now, in order that they may be
pending before the Senate District
Committee when Congress reassembles
next winter. The House is favorably
inclined toward both the S0-cent gas
bill and the capitalization resolution
because the results of the investiga-
ton by the House District COMMITTEES
are fresh in the minds of members Of
the lower body. Unless the measures
are passed at once much of the work
of education concerning the Washing
ton gas situation, accomplished through
the House District Committee, vii
have to be done over again.
If the measures are passed by TIT
House, then the fight for cheaper ga
and regulation Of the local Gas Mo
nOpoly can be started in the Senat,
early at the next session. If they are no
passed now, their ultimate apProva
by this Congress viii be threatened
The next session is the short session
If the bills do not pass the House unit
then, further opportunity for delay vii
be offered in the Senate, with the posi-
biIity of the final failure of the bill
in that branch Of Congress. where ono

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD IN
THE HOUSE RULES.

Step by step the House rules are
being revised and Hberalized. The
latest thing done is to adopt a rule
which is intended TO prevent the
Pigeonholing of measures in commit
tees, and to facilitate action by the
House to get a committee discharged
from consideration Of a bill when it
becomes clear the committee is merely
holding that bill back and trying to
kill it.
The situation which this new rule
is intended to correct is q grievous one.
It has been the source Of much justified
complaint for years. The Speaker has
had only to make up a committee of
the men who were suited to his pur-
poses, and then, by referring a measure
to that committee, TO dictate the fate
of it. In this way many meritorious
measures have been suppressed and
the House not even allowed a chance TO
vote on them. Illustrations could be
multiplied many times. The eight
hour bill, in which labor has long been
vitality interested, is one Of them.
No serious complaint can be made
If the House votes down a bill after
it has had a fair show before that
body. The idea of bottling a bill up
in committee and preventing the House
to express itself is absurd and repug-
nant to the spirit Of our institutions.
The new rule is not a perfect one.
It was brought out by the House Rules
Committee because that committee
saw that If it did not act the in
surgents and Democrats would force
Sction. Representative Dalzell, who
was lately near defeat in Pennsyl-
vania, and Representative Walter I.
Smith, who was recently near retire
ment to private lie in Iowa, concluded,
- members of the Rules Committee,
that it would be wholesome to do some
thing. And so it has come about that
the Rules Committee has reported out
a rule on which all factions are able
to unite.
a weakness Of the new rule is that
It requires a majority of the member
ship of the House to discharge a com
mittee instead Of a majority Of those
present and voting. 1t is hard to see
why it should require more votes to
get a bill out of committee than tc
pass the bill It is clear that in effect
ing this requirement the conservatives
were seeing to it that they should
yield as little as possible and still
save their faces. Still, the new rule il
a step forward, and the progressive
of the House on both sides of TIT
chamber are to be congratulated TO
it. The next step viii be to take from
the Speaker the appointment of com
mittees and give that authority to {
committee.
