Baltimore and 1912.

Baltimore would be happy to entertain
tire next democratic national convention.
We'll. why not Are not her claims 10
attention excellent?
In 1868 the democrats went to Ne"
York. In 1872 their candidate. MI Gree
Low. was nominated at Cincinnati. In 1876
they went to ST. Louis. In 1854 they met
at Chicago, in 1888 at st. Louis, in 1872
at Chicago, in 1896 at Chicago, in 1900 at
Kansas City in 1901 at St Louis and in
1905 at Denver. Surely il is Baltimore's
turn.
In the contest between New Orleans and
San Francisco for the Panama exposition
tile friends Of the Pacific coast city made
much OF the spirit shown there after the
earthquake They pointed with pride TO
tie energy with which the people applied
themselves to clearing away the wreck
and building anew, and on larger scale
than ever. Let them in a way be re-
warded now. it was urged. Let them

What is the matter with this argu-
ment when applied to Baltimore? Why
not give people from all sections of
the country an opportunity of seeing
how speedily an energetic population
can clear away ashes and build
afresh: Old Baltimore was interest
ing, but new baltimore is even more
So. The city of today is as hospitable
commodious. 1t could entertain a ma
tional political convention not only
with ease, but in a manner to send
every visitor home thankful for his ex-
rerience. The journey would linger in
the memory.
The attendance would be large, and
Increased by the fact Of the close prox-
unity of Washington. We are very
near neighbcr, and, there is neither
vanity nor esaggeration in adding. a
very interesting one. The sight of
Baltimore and Washington on one trip
would be temptation to many politi-
clans After naming their candidate
for President they could run over and
inspect the place where il elected he
would reside.
Baltimore is slightly. sufficiently cen
trail, and able to house and entertain
multitude. II her claims to recogni-
ton are properly urged she ought to
win.

The Congested Short Session.

As the 4th of March draws near the
reasons for lengthening the short ses-
sion'' of each Conrress become more OBJ
vious and convincing. Wholly aside from
partisan considerations. there is work
enough for the houses to do at this mo-
ment to keep them busy for the addi-
tional six weeks proposed by the Henry
Joint resolution. which provides for a
change in the inaugural date.
When the federal calendar was arranged
there was time enough, even at the short
session. for all the business Congress was
called upon to transact. But the country
has grown immensely. meanwhile. and the
business of the national legislature has
grown in proportion. There are more ap-
preparation bills. and each one Is much
larger in the amount carried and the
number and Importance OF its items. In
deed. single one of these money bills
involves a larger appropriation than the
entire sum needed for the support Of the
government when the existing arrange
ment of dates was fixed.
Here are at least half dozen impor-
tant measures awaiting action in the
Senate. and the House calendar is packed
with bills that are suppressed with diff
Guilty by those in charge of the Legislative
program. So crowded are the lists tina,
it is possible for any single member in
the Senate to precipitate an extra session
ii he has the nerve and the endurance to
conduct fiiibuSter against one of the
necessary appropriation bills. In this
situation it Is possible to coercc Congress
into legislation. Threats have already
been uttered that unless certain things
are done by the upper house an eN-
ira session will be forced. This is not q
desirable state OF affairs.
There Is still time for Congress to cf.
feet a cure Of this condition. by passing
the Henry Joint resolution submitting the
change-of-dats amendment to the state
legislatures. 1t is on the committee cal

The MISSING MISS

From the Syracuse Herald.
If the relatives Of Dorothy Arnold had

ing girls whereabouts that the New York
papers have been limiting they have. the
Young woman would have been found. 1t
is likely, about two weeks before the
date on which the New York papers
heard of her disappearance.
From the Houston Post.
Miss Dorothy Arnold. the missing New
York heiress, is refined and cultured
girl. and IL she had ever dreamed that
her disappearance would have caused SO
much notoriety, ''she would never have
went" as they say in South Carolina.
From the Rochester Herald.
The notice of New York say that Miss
Arnold is safe. If they are correct in
their surmises the young lady is acquir-
ing q fine lot of advertising against her
debut as a comic opera star
From the Scranton Tribune Republican.

like stock portraits of the original mem
bers Of the F'lorodora Sextet.

The Value of Preventive Inspection

ter OF administration to bring to account

ment who might have prevented the dis

Certain rules and regulations, designed

In Philadelphia about laxity. too late to

The best police service is that which

The National Canal Celebration.

The Senate is now relied upon to sup
ply the deficiency in the canal exposition
bill sent over to it by the House by add
ing a paragraph providing for the APP
pointment of a federal commission to
arrange for an adequate national celebra-
ton here at the capital on the occasion
Of the canal opening. Washington's claims
to recognition in this respect are not.
strictly speaking. local in character. On
the contrary. they are the claims of all
the people for an appropriate marking at
the seat Of government of the successful
accomplishment Of this country's great
est engineering enterprise.
Washington asks for no immense world
fair to mark this occasion. 1t does not
seek a large appropriation for buildings
that will be destroyed In a few months
after erection. 1t hopes to see Congress
take the broad, national view Of the canal
celebration matter and provide for dig
nified ceremony at the Capital city. in the
presence of the representatives of all the
nations. with perhaps the dedication of a
building that will typify the commercial
and political Importance OF the canal,
serving as great clearing house OF west
ern hemisphere business.
Representative Moore has set forth a
plan which appeals strongly to the imagi-
nation. lie would have here created a
permanent exposition. not of the state
fair type, not an amusement center. but
business stimuiant, a place where the
buyers and sellers of the western world
may come into communion on the highest
plane Of activity. perhaps the homo OF
one of the great departments of the gov
eminent, now housed In privately owned
quarters. Such structure should stand
forth distinctly from the ordinary con-
structions Of the government, q useful
yet significant creation. 1t should stand
before all visitors to the capital as the
tangible token Of the indomitable spirit
Of the american engineers, the skill OF
the administrators, the science of the
sanitarians who have conquered the
isthmus.
There is time and opportunity to write
into the pending legislation the necessary
provision for such a federal celebration
of the canals opening as the occasion de.
mands. The subject should not require
argument or urging. The Senate should
recognize the propriety of the proposition

Bosses and Interests

What about the bosses and the Inter
ests" next year? Shall We see them active
as ever? And will their aid be not only
accepted but solicited? When in their
best form and working together they are
very powerful.
We are soaking them now. Every
where they are under the ban. They
failed to score in the senatorial fight in
Massachusetts. They were equally help
less in Ohio. In New Jersey Boss Smith
and all he represented went to grass. In
New York Boss Murphy and Wall street
are daily denounced for their sins OF
both commission and omission. Such
another hunting Of bosses and interests"
has not been known in long time.
And yet only a few months ago all the
bosses and their allied interests were
busy as bees. They were being urged to
their utmost. Nothing was going Oh in
a corner In New York and New Jersey
in particular the bosses We're on view.
and directing affairs. Mr.. Murphy from
a hotel room in Rochester nominated a
full state ticket. and then went home and
elected it Mr.. Smith was a leading
figure in New jersey. helped to name his
party's state ticket, and then helped
elect it. ~
Not only was there no protest against
these men then, but they were conspicu-
ously deferred to. Their advice was
openly sought. Their company was kept
by the pick of their party. Any change
in them since then? None. Has their
affiliatfon. with the interests" just been
discovered?e No. What is known now
has been known all along. What, then.
explainssthe change Of attitude in certain
quarters toward them?
The answer to that question is tho ex-
PLANTATION Of most Of our troubles grow
ing out of bossism in politics. We are
not candid with ourselves or with others
on the subject. In preparing for q cam
paign. or in the heat OF a campaign under
way, we accept the aid of men whom we
know to be unworthy. We solicit and
profit by tainted support. And then when
in the natural course of things the men
who have rendered the support apply for
their reward-on the ground that the
laborer is worthy Of his hire-we shrink
from contact with them. We are unwill-
ing to do unto them what at our solicita-
ton they have done unto u.s.
The boss. with the Interests he rep
resents, would be powerless If he could
not trade with reputable men at nomi-
mating convention. or, later, during a
close campaign. But, unfortunately for
the public, he always can, and often does.
And, despite the treatment they now are
receiving, bosses will be in the market
again next year. and entertaining some
handsome bids for their influence.
