presses in the bureau of engraving and

Washington.
From the Baltimore Sun.

The only two secular holidays that are
generally observed throughout the entire
country are the 22d day of February,
Washington's birthday, and the Fourth
of July. In some of the states Lin
coins birthday is a legal holiday. In
other states Lees birthday is observed as
a holiday. But if the question were
asked in any ordinary asSemblage of peo-
pie what is Lncolns birthday or what is
Lees birthday it is not probable that
everybody could give a correct answer.
On the other hand, every schoolbOy and
schoolgirl in the land can tell the date
of Washngton's birth without a mo-
ment's hesitation. The 22d of February
is a legal holiday. we believe. in every
state Of the Union. But the observance
of the day does not rest on legal enact
ment. 1t was general throughout the
land before any law with regard to it
was enacted 1t began, in fact, during
Washington lifetime, the first public
celebration being by a party of gentle
men at a banquet at Fraunce's tavern,
New York, February 20, 1883. At that
banquet it was resolved to have an an
nual celebration, and the custom spread
rapidly throughout the land. All through
Washington's two administrations, ex-
cept on one occasion. it was the custom
Of Congress to adjourn for a short time
February 90. in order that the members
might have opportunity to call on the
President and congratulate MIN.

days at the most. Reckoning both the
short sessions Of the House during
January and the longer sessions in
February, the average meeting of that
body lasts about six and one-half
hours. which gives a total of only 325
hours for the House to pass all the ap-
preparation bills and debate and pass, or
reject. the many measures of minor
and major Importance that press for
attention. The change to an April in
auguration date would practically dou-
BILE the working time of Congress at
the short session, virtually rendering
filibustering futile and permitting the
consideration and enactment of meas
ures on their merits without reference
to calendar congestion or riyalries for
position.
These considerations appeal strongly
to every practical member of Congress.
1t is true that there are those who feel
that the less Congress does the better
for the country. This doctrine, how
ever, does not stand the test of an ex
animation of the House and Senate cal
endars, which are always filled with
meritorious propositions which are de-
MED action for lack of time. There is
school whose members hold that it
would be better for the country if
Congress merely met, passed the ap
propriati bills and adjourned. For
tunately these are in a minority. There
is no danger of an excess of legislation.
The addition of six weeks or so to the
working time of the House and Senate
would imperi1 no national interests or
menace the popular liberties in the
slightest degree. Better legisla ton
would result, laws freer from the mis-
chievous influence of compromising
and trading. 1t would not be necessary
to use appropriation bills to carry
through measures of general legisla-
ton. The power of the INSTRUCTOR to
dictate results would be greatly less
ened.
A sentiment now prevails throughout
the country for change of the inau-
ent season for the great national cere
monial. This demand is developing
into a desire that Congress lengthen
its own working time. The country is
appreciative Of the spec
tacle presented here in Washington
every other year. when the f1lfbuster
controls the situation and log-rolling
is the most influential factor in the
making of the nations laws. Every
year that this proposed change of the
federal calendar is postponed adds to
the public Impotence with Congress.

The Rock Creek Ash Dump.

The Commissioners will be morally, and
should take a chance on being legally,
justified in putting a stop to the utiliza-
lion of Rock Creek valley a public
dumping ground. There would seem to
be little likelihood OF a successful legal
interference with their authority in the
premises. The declaration of these banks
as a public dump is hardly to be held as
granting a permanent right to any person.
II 10 scarcely conceivable that the au-
thority that initiates a privilege cannot
abrogate IL.
A serious mistake was made in the be-
ginring in permitting the dumping Of
ashes and other refuse into the Rock
Creek valley. 1t should then have been
realized that ultimately something would
have to be done in the way of redeeming
this neglected stretch of country, so OBJ
viously a part OF the natural parking
opportunities, of the capital. The fact that
no decision had been reached between the
open valley and the closed form of treat
ment should never have been considered
Is justification for an official action
which in effect prejudiced the case in
favor of the complete closure of the creek
II would not require many more years Of
miscellaneous dumping into Rock Creek
valley to fill it to the brim.
Fortunately the dumping has not pro-
ceeded so far. despite the immense guam
titles Of refuse already deposited, that the
open valley treatment is prohibited The
work OF reclaiming this ravine and ter
racing it in accordance with a well con-
sidered parking plan will. OF course,
cost more than though the slopes had not
been covered with trash and ashes. The
peremptory stopping of all further dump
ing. however. is a necessity, and the
Commissioners should lose no time to
determine their powers in the premises.
II possible this matter should be settled
before the adjournment of Congress- short
though the session is. so that If there is
any doubt of their right it can be cured
by an emergency enactment. which, 1t is
10 be presumed. Congress will be willing
TO make.

country have afforded numerous instances
of the foolish interference by outsiders
with the carefully laid plans OF labor
leaders. The misfortune is that in all
such cases the public blames the union
for precipitating a situation in which the
sympathzer has an opportunity to act.
AS a matter of fact these letters in the
power press affair have no significance
save as indicating a lawless disposition
in some quarter. The proposition of the
officials has been made in perfect good
faith. with assurances that the introduce
ton of the power presses would not cause
the dismissal of any employe. Congress
is now charged with the responsibility OF
deciding upon this question, and it is to
be hoped that it will be settled on its
merits, without reference to this 1amen-
table error of judgment committed by
somebody in opposition to the plan.

A National Party.
From the Forum


1t is too early to suggest that party
government is outmoded; for the spirit Of
craftsmanship is tenacious and the majority
of men will still continue to attach them
selves, ignorantly or determinedly, by
political organizations. But 1T is not too
early to suggest that parties are means,
not an end that the object Of their exist
ence is supposed to be the welfare of the
nation, not the exploitation of private in
terests Patriotism and civic duty are
rightly nculcated in our schools; they
are scarcely conspicuous in the actual adj
ministration of affairs-municipal, state or
federal. Government of the people by a
party, for the party. seems but poor
travesty of democracy-unless the party
is justly entitled to use the prefix ma
tional" Perhaps the time is not far dis
tant when such a party, based on coali-
ton of the sincere and far-sighted, will
change the whole outlook and spirit of
politics in this country.

The President and the Farmers.

The President is told that the Cana
dian pact will cost him the support of
the farmers next year. This is based
upon two propositions: ~ The farmers
will be injured. and CO they will seek
relief
AS to the first proposition. Will the
farmers be injured? 1t would not appear
SO from the examination OF the pact by
many men competent to speak. Secretary
Wilson should know much about the
farming interests, and he sees. not in
jury. but benefit to American farmers
And many farmers in the northwest sup
port his view. They are willing for a
test and If the pact is approved by the
Senate at this session something very
definite on the subject should be demon
strated before election day next year. II
farmers vino are now disgruntled find
themselves in error are they likely to
oppose Mr.. Taft at the polls because of
their own miscalculation?
AS to the second proposition. If the
farmers find that in some measure they
have suffered. to whom will they turn
for relief? II Champ Clark is the demo-
cratic candidate for President will they
support him? AS a member Of the House
he has just voted for the pact, and 1t
is inconceivable that he would reverse
himself on the subject as a presidential
candidate. He could not afford to lead
his party il in its national platform it
repudiated the vote he and his friends
have just cast in the House. Instead OF
undoing the work of the pact, the demo-
cratic party in full control would
broaden it.
Maybe relief is not the word in
tended. Maybe revenge is. Maybe the
idea is that the farmers, regardless OF
the democratic attitude, will punish Mr..
Taft at the polls next year because OF
his negotiations with Canada.
But this imputes to the farmers a
blindness and a recklessness that do not
accord with their regulations. Moreover
1t assumes that they have forgotten the
lesson the wage-earners learned in 1892
when because of the Homestead strike
for which neither protection nor the re-
publican party was responslble-tens OF
thousands of laboring men threw their
votes against the party in power. and
helped bring in the party pledged to the
destruction OF protection. Protection was
not destroyed, but the bare threat OF
the step alarmed the business world,
caused many great manufacturing plants
to close. and labor for two years and
more was on it's uppers, trudging the
highways in vain In search of work.
The farmers next year will confront "a
condition, not theory" If times are
good with them, they are not going tc
remember any misappraisements they
may have made this year about the pac,
with Canada. If times are bad, they are
not going to vote SO as-according tC
their own theory-to make them worse

Bennett and Annexation.
From the Duluth Herald.

There could be nothing more plainly il
Illustrative of the straits to which the OPP
ponents of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement are reduced than the action
of Representative Bennett of New York
in introducing in the House at this time a
bill looking to the annexation of Canada
by the United States. 1t was peanut
politics Of the lowest variety. Almost
peanut shuck politics, in fact. It's author
knew when 1t was introduced that 1t
could have no chance of passage. His OBJ
ject was to prejudice the chances of rati-
fication Of the agreement by the Canadian
parliament. or possibly to startle Eng
land into stepping in with an attempt to
forbid the Dominion from taking any
such action.
