larly good when applied to charitable
or correction institution. Communities
can best care for their INDECENT and
helpless by owning and operating the
institutions in which they are sustained
For many years the District has been
embarrassed by having no home for in
corrigible white girls. 1t has such
home for colored girls, but white girls
are committed to private institutions,
some of which receive subsidies from
public funds. 1t is not surprising to
find that the results of such a system
are frequently unsatisfactory. Even If
they were highly satisfactory there is
serious question whether society has
the moral right to commit one of its
members to an institution over which it
has little or no Jurisdiction. The pro-
posal that the District erect and main
tain home for incorTigible white girls
is sound, and should commend itself to
the Commissioners and to Congress.

ON THE OFFICIAL ARRIVAL
OF SPRING.

The first official day of spring should
not be allowed to pass unrecorded.
While the buds have not yet burst into
a profusion of bloom nor the bluebirds,
if any yet linger, come out under the
genial influence of the sun, there is a
why tang in the atmosphere and a
general feeling that the worst Of
winter is over. The close observer has
been on the lookout sometime for the
first sign of Spring. The first straw
hat which made its appearance on the
Avenue was nipped by an unkindly
frost, but in the back alleys and the
vacant lots the small boy has as
sembled in noisy evidence that it is
marble time. In human veins as in
those of the trees the sap begins to
rise. The imagination of the pent up
citizen finds expression in the language
of the poet:
Il would flee from the city's rule and
From its fashions and forms cut loose:
To go where the strawberry grows on
the straw
And the gooseberrv grows on the
goose
The pussywillows begin to put forth
their tender shoots and the Izaak
.Waltons of every age are preparing to
go fishing with anything from rod and
reel to bent pins. However poorly the
minnows may bite the life in the free
out of doors makes it a sport for
kings. The ozone and the smell of the
creek, borne on the fresh winds of
March, hint of the days of our youth
and all Nature grows glad again.
The treachery of this season of the
year, when the sun enters Aries and
the song of the turtle is heard in the
land, is only too well known. The
vernal equinox may yet come with its
chill reminders of inauguration"
weather and reminiscent thoughts may
turn to the glow of the open fire or
the purr of the radiator. At present
one only feels that he would like to
Make. on joyous wing.

GOVERNOR WILSON AND THE
JERSEY STATE CHAIRMAN.

In the first place, before attempting
consideration of the merits of Cover.
nor Wilson's quarrel with James
Nugent, Democratic State chairman OF
New Jersey, it must be kept in mind
that Jersey now has a ballot law which
would do credit to Afghanistan. 1t
would be a joke in New Zealand
Massachusetts, Nebraska, or Arizona
1t is a bosses ballot law; a wide-open
ballot act under which you may buy
a vote and see it delivered. Mr.
Nugeht was opposed to reforming il
into a real secret, Australian ballot
measure. He said all North Jersey
and the solid organization of the party
was against the change.
That seems to make perfectly ap,
parent that the governor was right
and Nugent was wrong. ,
Beyond that, the usual New Jersey
result happened. That is, the result
that has been usual since Governor
Wilson came to the head of the scheme

to the woolen schedule, particularly the
cotton schedule. 1t will be slow work,
however.
1T must be remembered" said Mr..
Underwood that in the past a WAYS
and Means Committee has known a year
in advance that it would be called upol
to -evise the tariff. The Democrats
knew that we would be called upon to
do so Immediately after the elections
last November, but we did not have the
machinery in operation until after Con-
gress adjourned on March 4. Since that
time we have been engaged in the work
of selecting committees. Necessarily we
will not be prepared to present tariff
schedules to the House as rapidly as
would be the case had we been able to
work on them from adjournment on
March until next December. I think
am safe in saying, however, that the
disposition of the committee will he to
be right even at the expense of being

Some members of the committee are
determined thatatheir tariff revision at
the short session 'shalle'be confined to

the members favor revising more than
one schedule, and these members predlct

ART COMMISSION AND DSCHOOL
BUILDINGS.

The District building at Fourteenth
and Pennsylvania aNerue was erected
before the Fine Arts Commission was
created, bus = wise precaution was eX-
ercised when it was made to har-
monte with ''o proposed Government
buildings on the proposed Mall.
Now we have a commission of artists
and architects who Sc special business
it the supervision OF Government build
ings, memorials, and parks, to the end
that harmony may obtain in the gen
eral scheme of Improvement and beau
tificatiOn OF the National Capital. If
the best possible results are to mark
the commissions work, public build
jTgs erected for the District of Co
lumbis must be made to harmonic
with the Government buildings.
The commission has no official iuris-
diction over District buildings, but the
District Commissioners have very
wisely asked its members TO cooperate
with them in locating and designing
these structures. They have consented.
and in the future all plans for school
houses and fire engine houses will be
submitted to them for approval.
1t will cost no more for District
buildings to be made, in reality, part
of the general scheme of Government

harmony in the character and arrange

be removed if the Fine Arts Commits

District will make in Washington in

President Taft will not be kept in ig-
norance Of the plans of the Democratic
leaders of the House much longer. Ihe
inspired statement issued from the prf-
vate car of the President on his return
from Georgia to the effect that he
would veto all tariff legislation except
that incorporated in the reciprocity
treaty, means that the President VIII
ercise the veto power.
1t was learned toda Y that the mem
bers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee have so far completed their task OF
selecting the committees of the House
that they are turning their attention 10
tariff matters. Foremost In the discus
sion of the tariff is the woolen sched-
ule, admitted by the President to be
indefensible. and condemned by the
Democrats as outrageous.
The fact that the Tariff Board is not
required by law. to report to Congress
until next December will not deter the
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee from revising the
wooden schedule. -
One Difference.
There is only one difference of opinion
in the committee in connection with this
schedule, and that is whether the sched-
ule shall be tackled on to the reciprocity
treaty or whether it shall be put
through as a separate measure. Chais-
man Underwood and several other MEM
bers of the committee favor putting IL
through on its own merits, while the
conservative members who are luke
warm in their support OF reciprocity
and would not mourn at its defeat, IA
vor putting the woolen schedule on
reciprocity as a rider.
If President Taft is willing to furnish
the Ways and Means Committee with
the information on the woolen scheduis
now In the possession of the IariH
Board the committee will be glad to re.
ceive 1t and to weigh It's value Just as
other evidence in connection with the
schedule will be weighed. If, as ex-
pected, the Tariff Board offers no as
sistance to the committee a schedule
will be prepared and put through the
House. Unless all signs fail the sched-
ule will 60 through the Senate and IL the
President keeps his word and vetoes II,
the Democrats will sit back and wait
for the verdict from the country.
Underwood's Stand.
1--WE will not have any difficulty In
framing a wooden schedule" said Chair
man Underwood, today "even If the
tariff hoard wfthholds the information

the Ways and Means Committee and the
public can find a most illuminating ar

up to pass his reform ballot law, and
then sent for Nugent and invited him
to "come in" Nugent refused, and
incidentally accused the governor of
using State patronage to get the votes.
Thereupon the governor showed Mr..
Nugent the door, and Mr.. Nugent used
it.
Both have told the story, and the
accounts agree in all substantials.
The performance seems peculiarly
creditable to the governor. We could
even forgive him if he had used the
State patronage to get his reform act
passed. The patronage is so con-
stantly used for bad ends that its use
occasionally for good ends would be
quite an interesting novelty.
Governor Wilson has put over the
election of MARITIME, and now he is
going to project a decent ballot act
into the Jersey system. 1t may well
be that the State bosses, regardless of
party, are worried. 1t will be i'm
possible for an honest man to buy
votes in Jersey with any confidence
of getting them delivered according to
the bill of lading, if this thing con-
tinues much longer.
Also, it will make Governor Wilson
the Democratic nominee for President
if he makes a few more winnings of
this sort. He is coming so fast that
everybody else looks like a trailer at
this time
