Most of them were tramps, and at

are youths and young men whose ages
range from sixteen to twenty-one.

A Masonic Center.

The attention of the Masons of the
world, and more especially those of the
United States, will now be focused upon
Washington, where the Scottish Rite
members of this jurisdiction are about
to erect the handsomest building which
the Masonic order, has owned since the
days of King Solomon.
Ground has been broken and an
nouncement has been made that the
corner stone will in all probability be
laid next October A year from that
time it is hoped to have the temple COM
pleted 1t will be in the severe Greek
style, adaptable for its solemn mission,
and harmonizing in all respects with
other costly buildings in Washington,
and which are ultimately destined to
make this city the finest the most
magnificent, and the most beautiful in
the world.
The National Capital may consider
itself fortunate in being chosen for
the erection of this monumental and
artistic structure.

The Sacrifice Of Youth.

Accidents will happen in the best
regulated communities, but the num-
Der of drowning cases which mark the
opening of the swimming season is en-
tirely too large. 1t is an unnecessary
sacrifice of youth.
The District Commissioners have, in
the past, brought to the attention of
Congress thoroughly practical and in
expensive method of providing suitable
and safe places for boys to swim. 1t
would take comparatively small
amount of money to build at certain
points along the river shore houses
in which the clothes of the swimmers
could be securely kept. while the cost
of guard at each of the places would
also be small expense. If the author
tiles were allowed to select these safe
bathing points and equip them with
bath houses, the boys and men who
naturally desire to go swimming would
frequent these designated spots. They
would gladly welcome the facilities af-
forded, while the lessening of danger
would be an additielal inducement
The bathing pool in the vicinity OF th.
Washington Monument, while it is ex-
cellent in its way, does not meet the full
requirements. 1t does not afford deep
water swimming. and its restricted size
is also a detriment. With the Potomac
River flowing past the city, however,
there is no reason why the sensible ex-
ercise of swimming should not be in
dulged in to the largest extent and with
absolute safety.
The Commissioners, despite the indif-
ference of Congress in the past. ought
not to weary in welldoing. The list
of those who have been called to an
urtimely end is an argument in favo.
of well equipped and guarded bathing
beaches along the river front, which
ought to appeal most forcibly to Con-
gress. -.

The Potomac River.

Three centuries have elapsed since
the Spaniards and the Englishmen
sailed into the Potomac River. Virgin,
forests then lined the shores of the
stream. and thousands of Indians, who
had never seen a white man, looked
with wonder upon the invaders.
During these three centuries the Po-
tomac has become historic. In the be-
ginning, Capt. John Smith assembled tie
river as far as Little Falls; then came
the period of colonial estates, with
Mount Vernon, Gunston Hall, and BEL
voir as conspicuous examples; then the
four years of civil war, when the river
was the dividing line between the North
and the South; and now the time OF
peace, when the noble stream flows
broadly from the mountains to the ba:
Mach that is interesting and romantic
is told in The Washington Herald this
morning concerning the Potomac River.
Long ago, for instance, there was con-
siderable commerce carried upon its
bosom. The harbor at Georgetown was
filled with freight-carrying vessels-a
tonnage that has entirely disappeared.
1t may not be generally known that
when Fort Washington might have
served a useful purpose at the time Of
the approach of the English feet in
1914. the commander of the fort blew it
tip and ran away. In fact. the history
of the Potomac River would fill a book.
Some cne ought to take the time and
trouble to collect all the facts with
which the Potomac is directly or indi-
rectly connected. The stream is worthy
OF any authors pen. From its source
in the mountains it flows through a
country rich in historic incident, and is
itself a prime factor in a picturesque
landscape There is vast mass of in
teresting information scattered through
a multitude of books, and this ought to
be collected and woven into one COM
pletc and permanent record. -.
The page which The Washington
Herald devotes this morning to the
story of the Potomac River should
stimulate some appreciative historian to
undertake the work.

Mistress and Maid.

Mrs. Clara Filler, of Philadelphia,
has, it seems, been long imbued with
the theory that a trade union of house
maids is the one thing that is needed
to regulate the vexed and much mooted
question Of domestic service. Her prac-
tical knowledge of such system does
not appear, though from the fact that
she uses her own Christian name in
place of her husbands, it seems likely
that she is really and truly profess
sional agitator, and one who will later
on burgeon out into lady walking dele
gate
At all events, she has succeeded in
interesting some of our housekeepers in
her scheme, and although just at the
present time there seems to have been
a genteel sufhciency of difficulties be-
tween capital and labor, extending from
the Standard Oil Company to the Su-

How New York Is Losing Millions

Public sentiment, rightly or wrongly,
is against great aggregations of capital.
This feeling has shown itself in many
ways, but especially in the enactment of
Federal and State laws imposing taxes
upon corporations and large estates.
The income tax and the corporation tax
are examples of Federal action, while in
the States any law that proposes to
make corporations and estates con-
tribute to the public treasury meets
with instant support
There is, however. possibility that
this scheme of taxation may over
reach itself. For instance, there is in
New York loud outcry against the re-
Gently enacted inheritance tax law.
Under the previous statute there was a
levy Of 1 per cent upon estates of
$4,000 and over, but the new law in
cludes even small properties; while
upon large estates the tax is graded so
as to reach eventually one-fourth of the
entire value of the property. 1t is
claimed that this is driving vast
amounts of capital out of the State
According to New York financial
papers, the Withdrawals of securities
which would fall under this tax have
averaged some $4o.oooooo each month.
The rate of such withdrawal continues
to increase, the one-fourth clause being
regarded as exceptionally severe, and
unjust
This exodus of capital has been going
on to other States and to foreign
countries. One large institution which
had been holding vast amounts of Sc
curities for foreigners recently made
one shipmens of $zo,ooo,ooo to Europe
upon instructions from their foreign in-
yestors and depositors. The imposition
of comparatively small income tax by
several European governments has led
capitalists there to invest in American
securities, reinyesting the annual ir,-
come in this country. Even royalty
was among these investors. This adj
vantage is being lost by the imposition
Of the heavy tax by the new New York
law.

Unappreciatve Audiences.

We sympathize deeply with the cor.
respondent Of The Washington Herald
who, in another column. complains Of
the unappfeciative audiences who throns
the parks upon the occasions of the
evening public concerts. He seems to
be genuine lover Of music, who at
tends the entertainments for the purpose
of enjoying the programmes and he pro-
tests in no uncertain language against
the noise and inattention which inter-
fere with the pleasure of the listeners.
unquestionably there is ground for
this complaint. If. however, we analyze
the situation, we will find that it is due
to the fact that in this country open-air
concerts are comparatively recent in
novations. In Germany, where the peo-
pie live and thrive on music, the pro-
grammes are regarded with deep re-
spect. In Munich thousands of people
gather in the gardens, but the enjoy
ment of the audiences is not marred by
loud and inappropriate conversation. In
Spain the pla1as are crowded with peo-
pie during the concert hour, and while
promenading is a feature, the throngs
are proverbially quiet. 1t is the same
way in Mexico, where the government
provides musical entertainment for the
populace. The public squares are
crowded, but absolute order is main-
tanned.
There is no reason why similar con-
ditions should not exist in Washington.
Of course, there is difference in races
and in training, but in the course of
time the portion of the Washington
audiences at these open-air concerts
who are thoughtlessly Indifferent to the
enjoyment of others will come to
realize that they ought quietly to
participate and not offend by un-
due noise. 1t is matter of education,
and eventually the problem will solve
itself
