Congress seems disposed TO do nothing
along the line suggested for the last five

From the Baltimore American.
Coyly acknowledging 10 having been

having a bad case of Cupiditis, DR.. H. W.
Wiley, the pure-food expert in the De-
partment of Agriculture. confesses that
the day is practically set Twenty years

opponent of impure products is looking

Uninterred John Paul Jones.

There is something approaching the
disgracefuL if not the downright scan
dalous. in the fact that the remains Of
John Paul jones. a national hero" as
Secretary Meyer properly describes him
In the annual report of the head OF the
Navy Department have been at the
Naval Academy since 1905 without ap-
propriate interment 1t does not seem
that long since the remains were re-
ceived at the Naval Academy with i'm
pressive ceremonies. 1t is understood
they now repose on a temporary stand
beneath the main stairway OF the build
ing used as the dormitory and mess hall
of the midshipmen, II is about the last
place for the keeping of the remains of
the dead. whether heroic or not It
seems strange that the naval authori-
ties have not been able to obtain a bet
ter location for these honored bones II
is probably due to the excessive demand
which was made upon Congress in the
form OF an estimate for an appropria-
ton of not less than S135,0O0 for the pur-
pose Of constructing a crypt or mauso-
leum. Two years ago the Senate passed
the bill carrying this appropriation, bun
the House failed to agree TO the allot-
ment Annually. the Navy Department
has urged the appropriation OF this
amount and for this purpose. and this
year the Secretary of the Navy renews
the recommendation.
That is a large amount TO appropriate.
especially in a period OF economy, for a
mausoleum. The question viii naturally
occur why the present costly chapel. as
1t is too modestly termed. cannot some
where within It's precincts provide a
suitable resting place for the remains
Of John Paul Jones. For that matter
the interment might be in the Naval
Academy cemetery along with other
heroes who have passed away, in which
event a hitting monument could be
erected at much less expense than the
$i35,oo0 necessary for a mausoleum. Oh
the remains might be inferred in the ma
tonal cemetery at Arlington.

Washington for the Exposition.

It is TO be hoped that all citizens OF
Washington and those interested in the
material and artistic welfare OF the Ma
tons Capital will heartily indorse the
action Of the Chamber OF Commerce
looking to securing the holding Of the
Panama Canal Exposition here. Keen
as is the rivalry between New Orleans
and san Francisco for the honor OF hold
ing this exposition. there have been no
logical reasons advanced that show that
either city is more Mt than this. on
the other hand. there are many reasons
why Washington is the better place.
The international character of the cele-
bration that should take place when the
canal is formally opened is one Of the
strongest arguments in Washington
favor Here is the seat OF the nations
diplomacy and here is the place to ask
the representatives Of foreign govern
ments TO be our guests.
The exposition. if there is TO be one,
should by all means be free from any
faint of commercialism. That is, it
should be in TO sgnse a money-msking
scheme. The verF fact that both San
Francisco and New Orleans have raised
large sums of money to secure the ex-
position and promise to ask no financial
aid from the government shows that in
either place the Panama Canal Exposi-
ton viii be sure to have a strong com
mercial side and there viii be-is bound
10 be-many devices TO get back part, at
least. of the money subscribed. II the
exposition were held in Washington. il
would be, as ii should be, purely a gov
ernmental function. though in com
memoration Of the completion OF a BIZ
OF the worlds work OF such vast mag
nitude the celebration should be a worthy
one.
IL has been suggested that the exposi-
ton might be the means Of securing for
Washington some public buildings that
should help 10 carry out the plans OF
rEnfant for the beautifying OF the
Capital. This could easily be done II
Congress saw fit, and Congress would
have the satisfaction Of knowing that
money used for such a purpose would
be an expenditure that would better the
entire nation
II we could imagine a celebration such
as fhis will he Or shOuld he falling n
the lot Of any OF the other great ma
tons. we can see how inappropriate We
would regard it if the function were
held at any place but that nations CAPT
tai. If it be necessary to have an ex
position. national dignity and pride de
mand that it be held here.
