them. The results have justined
their establishment. With correct
treatment, apparently chronic drunkards
frequently recover, and thereafter lead
useful lives. Convict treatment. prison
rules and Jail fare have been found not
conducive to the best results in dealing
with drunkards.
The establishment of an inebriate hos
pital in Washington has been often urged
and repeatedly commended by authorities
on alcoholic disease and by public om-
GERS. There will be a renewal OF effort
to secure such place for The District.
The Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton took up the question at its meet
ing last night, and 1t was announced
that cooperation looking to the estab-
lishment Of an inebriate asylum would
be solicited from the various citizens
associations Of the District. the Board
Of Trade, Chamber of Commerce and
other influential bodies OF the people.

Platforms.

Occupied with larger topics, national
and international. the country has given
too little thought to the fact that the
Maine legislature, democratic in both
branches, adjourned last week after a
session lasting thirteen weeks, during
which every pledge that had been made
by that party IN last falls campaign was
substantially kept Such was the an
nouncement made from Augusta.
An unusual record is 1t not? In this
day Of tricky phrasemaking at conven-
tons. Of Wild spellbinding in campaigns,
OF forgetfulness, or worse. on the part of
men elected to Office to do specific things,
Is IL not a record of which Its authors
may be proud? And will 1t not stand
them we'll in hand when they appeal for
individual and party Endorsement at the
polls?
They must take the risk, OF course. of
the test to which their performances will
now be subjected. The proof OF the pud-
ding Is In the eating. 1t is not all that
their campaign promises have been re-
deemed The wisdom Of their course-if

For the City Children.
From the Utica Press.


The approach Of spring brings the sum.
mer playground enterprise into renewed
prominence. 1t is not at all probable that
anything will make 1t too prominent or
too popular, because 1t is an enterprise
deserving Of generous support and one
attended by substantial and valuable re-
suits. 1t is only within few years that
Utica has paid much attention to things
Of this sort. Previously the impression
obtained that this was city of such size
that the country with its grass and
flowers and trees and streams was only
a short distance at farthest, and that
there was no need for interior parks or
Fairgrounds. The natural result was that
as the city grew and the fiat dwellers in
creased. many streets filled and children
had no other place to play. 1t does not
require great deal of argument to show
that a city street is no place for chill
dren, that it is not only dangerous on &C.
count of the physical injury which may
come from passing vehicles. but as well
from the dirt and dust which are I'M
avoidable.

The Message and the Situation.

The President presents his case sim
ply and logically. 1t was the failure OF
the Senate to ratify the pact with
Canada that caused him to call Con-
gress together in extra session. Con-
gress having assembled in response to
that call, the President offers the pact
anew and asks favorable action on it.
He is silent as to other matters 1t is
safe to say that he would be satisfied
to have all other matters go over until
the regular session. But that is a ques
ton for Congress to decide. He makes
no threats. Presumably he will cross
bridges as he comes to them. and the
proba bility is that bridges will be
built in his path.
The democrats in the last House
voted solidly for reciprocity. The party
leadership then is the party leadership
now. No conditions were then asked.
1t was held that the pact was good
thing in itself, and should become law.
The pact has not been changed since.
1t stands now as then, as an effort to
make trade freer, and thereby larger,
between this country and Canada
There has been a change, however, in
the political situation. Then the re-
Congress. Now they control but one

with a mandate to revise the Payne
law have the initiative in the House.
and announce purpose to take 1t at
once. Although reciprocity is not on
their program, it is not understood that
they are opposed to 1t. but will give it
consideration along with a revision Of
several important schedules of the
present tariff. They will insist on ac-
ton on both the Presidents recon-
mendation and their own.
The pact as an individual proposition
is threatened with difficulties in the
Senate from the so-called insurgents.
They held 1t up last winter, and are
preparing, it is said, to hold it up
again unless changes are made to
bring it into agreement with their con-
ception Of general tariff revision. They
declare for both reciprocity and pro-
lection. but insist that, as negotiated
and submitted. the pact bears unfairly
on the farmers Of the country, and
particularly those living within easy
distance Of the Canadian border
Here, then. is a complex situation.
The President wants action on the pact
with Canada as submitted. and no
more. The democrats of the House
want, in addition to reciprocity. revi-
sion Of several schedules Of the Payne
law, while the insurgent republicans
Of the Senate want the pact amended
In a way to suit them. Amendment on
their terms would, 1t is contended by
some Of the Presidents supporters, defeat
the pact and bring the Presidents labOrs
to the ground.
Evidently we are facing some expert
politics shaped with 1912 in plain view.
And the play may be long continued.
Whether the extra session shall last
two or six months is a question, and
there are those who would not be sur
prised to see it merge into the regular
session.

wise it has been-must now appear. III
the things they promised were not good
things, and fail in action, they Will be
judged and condemned by that failure.
But il is worthy of note that these
Pine Tree democrats did what they had
said they would do. For more than haif
century their party had been wan
derer in the wilderness. Republican sue
cesses had been as regular as elections.
In this alone was a temptation last year
to play politics'-to deal in eXtrava-
gances-to solicit votes on a platform not
intended for use after election day. Ihls
temptation was resisted. a platform writ
ten capable Of redemption in legislation,
and IT has now been redeemed. The
people Of the state have received at the
hands of their servants what they voted
for last November.
Platforms. as we all know. are lightly
considered by many politicians. They are
often phrased in terms capable of a
double meaning, or of no meaning at all.
They are intended to be all things to all
men, and many voters are deceived. I'M
portant instances can be cited, and two
of them are fresh. The country declared
at the polls last year that the tarln
plank Of the Chicago platform or l3oS
had not been redeemed in the Payne law.
and the Congressional Record shows that
both democratic senators and represent
atives when that law was being framed
voted contrary to the letter and spirit of
the Denver platform.
Next year will be platform year for
both parties, and both will be at pains
to speak themselves fair to the people.
But they would do we'll also to speak
themselves frankly and sincerely on such
questions as may then be uppermost in
public thought. Juggling for Office and
power is, temporarily at least. under the
ban, and the example of the Maine demo-
Gratis should be copied Nothing should
be promised that is incapable of perform
ance. and every promise made should be
kept,

Inebriate Asylum Needed.

The need of a local hospital as
place of special treatment for inebri-
ates has long been known and admitted
in Washington. The present practice
of confining dipsomaniacs and drug
victims in a penal institution is sug-
gestive Of a bygone age. These unfor-
Inmates need treatment. judicious en-
enlargement and some measure Of re-
straint. But what they do not need is
punishment. The workhouse is not the
best place for alcoholic slaves. but the
District is under the necessity Of send
ing them there.
New York and other states have not
only recognized the wisdom Of provid-
ing special asylums for this class of
derelicts. but have actually provided
