and in committee work as in general de-
bate must be well met il met at all.
Some, it is true, are called progressives;
but when party lines are drawn again
as inevitably they will be when protection
in the matter of the tariff, and central
power as in the matter of the trusts and
of the currency are under discussion-we
shall probably see the distinction, tenn
porarily at least, disappear. and the old
fight renewed. with democrats on one side
and republicans on the other.
1t is suggested that Mr.. Wilson will be
asked to decide the more difficult points
in the dispute. The democratic senators
would do better by keeping full control
of their own affairs. 1t is no part of Mr..
Wilson's task proper to arbitrate fac
tional differences in Congress about or
ganiZation matters: and, as a rule, the
less interference by a President with Con-
gress, or by Congress with President,
the better for party control and for leg
islation \ Presidents recommendations
as to measures and his nominations as to
officers mark the limit of his connection
with the lawmaking body.
OF recent years there has been COM
plaint in congressional circles about White
House influences on Capitol Hill. Better
not invite any. and then IL the new adj
ministration offends the complaints will
be the more strongly based.

The Salon.

With the opening Of the fourth biennial
salon Of contemporary American paint
ngs at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art.
Washin gton's position as an art center
is more clearly defined. Steadily the ad-
vantages Of the capital in this respect are
being more widely appreciated. Artists
OF eminence are finding here the ideal
atmosphere for work and draw inspira-
ton from the governmental environment
and the highly artistic setting Of tho city.
Here are now some notable collections Of
painting and sculpture, some highly at
tractive architectural creations, and incl
dentally an adjacent country affording
a wide variation Of landscape attractive
ness The biennial exhibitions at the Cor
coran Gallery have been Of a high grade
Of merit. They have become institutional
and most nearly approach the status OF
a national salon. Through the liberality
Of William A. Clark, generous prizes are
offered that stimulate competition by
large numbers Of artists OF high repute
and it is gratifying that at each Of these
exhibitions sales are made aggregating
many thousands OF dollars. for the en-
enlargement Of the painters. With q
larger endowment for prizes this exhibit
ton. possibly become annual instead Of
biennial. may come to be the chief art
occasion in the United States.

The Warning to Mexico.

After exhibiting great patience with the
Mexican government In respect to the
necessity for protecting Americans from
the assaults and robberics committed by
bandits and revolutionasts during the past
year or So, the United States has now
formally declared its intention to proceed
TO active measures IL assurances are not
given shortly of q purpose to give the
subjects OF this country temporarily in
Mexico the benefit Of full security from
nsolestation. Tho Presidents note to Ma
dero Is a. direct reminder that previous
communications have brought no result
and a warning that there must be no
more temporizins. 1t is virtually an ulti-
matum. If satisfactory guarantees are
not given at an early date this gov
eminent will move in some manner
to solve the problem on its own &C
count The precise method will perhaps
be left for Congress to determine.
The Mexican situation 10 undeniably
difficult. President Madero has had muci,
to contend with since his accession to the
chiefship OF the republic, beset with one
revolution after another, and thus far
successful In preventing any Of them
from gaining winning headway. Much
Of the so-called revolutionary movement
in little more than brigandage. But taiis

The Senate Democrats.

1t seems hardly likely that the commit
tee assignments in the Senate growing
out OF the change of party control will be
decided on the basis of a contest strictly
between the youngsters and the oldsters
That would be folly. particularly if the
youngsters won. and would cost the ma
jority party heavily in public esteem.
Penalizing experience is always unwise
and often expensive. Young blood is good
and should have recognition. but old
blood has valuable uses, and should have
free circulation.
The democrats are confronted by two
things, both worthy Of consideration: %
Their majority will be uncomfortably
slender, and CD the opposition will be
ably led II. therefore. they fail to pro-
vide for their best leadership. either in
committee work, or in the general debate
in the chamber, they will be heavily ham
dicapped.
1t is worthy of note. too. that for the
loss Of Mr.. Rayner by death. and for the
coming loss Of Mr.. Bailey by voluntary
retirement, no early compensation is pos
sible. They have headed their party
debating force for some years: and the
Senate debates will be much the poorer
for their disappearance.
While the republican side Of the Senate
has at times been stronger. 1t is still very
strong. Root. Lodge. Sutherland. Borah.
Emoot. McCumber. Cummins. La Fol-
1etteA Penrose. Nelson. and others. repre-
sent both great ability and long service.

there In plantations and mines and are
engaged in business enterprises, taking
no part whatever in the turmoil over poll
tics. Whether attacked by bandits or by
patriots fighting under the flag of revolt.
they are in peril and they have right to
protection.
Heretofore the United States has sought
to give Madero full chance to maintain
his government. 1t has strictly enforced
the neutrality laws. forbidden the expor-
tation Of arms and munitions of war to
the insurgents, patrOlling the border at
heavy expense. and in various ways
actively assisting the established admin
istration at Mexico City. as the recog-
nized power in Mexico. 1t has given the
fullest possible guarantees of its friendli-
ness toward the present executive. and its
refusal to recognize his armed opponents
as belligerents has been of substantial as
sistance to him Notwithstanding these
endeavors in his behalf. the President of
Mexico has replied to the American notes
of protest evasively and unsatisfactory.
Perhaps this is because he can in turn
give no guarantees. Possibly he is not
sufficiently in control of the situation to
assure the United States that he will pro-
country. Failing to make frank ac-
Acknowledgement Of this fact, he seeks to
retain complete, independence of action,
doubtless hoping to extend the American
patience still further until he wears out
tho insurgents and finally establishes
order. Meanwhile, however. it is report
ed from time to time that Americans are
being subjected to gross tndgnities. rob-
bed, wounded. killed. If Madero can
not protect them, are they to be left
to the mercies of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS?
The United States, through President
Taft, now says that this must not be.
1t is to be hoped that Madero's answer
will be a satisfactory assurance, based
upon substantial guarantees. that hence
forth Americans south of the border will
receive the full protection which is to be
expected from an organized government.

The Grand Piano.

Joe Struthers took notion once he
wanted to begin
To have the best things Of this world that
We are Twin in;
And, thinkin' matters over. he concluded
that to own
A grand pianny was the greatest splendor
ever known.
He sent to town an got one It was far
too big, he found.
To get inside his shack. He couldn't
leave it standin' round,
So he built shed to fit It and outside he
let it stay
An then discovered it was mighty hard
to learn to play.
The neghbors stood and listened as he
thumped around the keys.
They waited most respectful while Joe
did his best to please;
And then somebody snickered an allowed
that he could play
A jewsharp sos to beat that grand
pianny any day.
But Joe he kept .a-hammerin' the keys the
best he knew.
He started with one finger; at the most
he worked with two.
When anybody tried to take his place,
Joe raised a row
An says, sarcastic, Whose PLAINLY is
this anyhow
Joe amt the only man alive who, when
some wish came true,
Suspected that he'd only started In with
troubles new.
Joe Amt the only man who. when he
thought he had a prize,
Discovered that the blessin' was a heodoo
i'm disguise.
There's men with motor cars, an men
with Offices Of state,
An men with palaces an men with en-
terprises great,
That feel. sometimes. as if the gifts
which Fate has brought their way
Was like old JOe's pianny. that he
couldn't learn to play.

The Districts Needs.

President Taft's message to Congress
on the eve Of the holiday adjournment
treats most satisfactorily Of District af-
fairs, in a broad spirit of development
He urges strongly the enactment OF the
pending bill for the creation Of q public
utilities commission, which he calls "one
of the most crying needs IN the govern
ment Of the District" Considering the
fact that the bill has already passed the
Senate and needs only concurrent action
by the House to make 1t a law at the
present session, it is to be believed that
the Presidents urgent recommendation,
couched in language which plainly shows
that he fully understands the exceptional
reasons for early action, will have good
effect In securing final results to this most
urgently desired end.
In his treatment Of the matter of the
public parks Of the District the President
is particularly impressive. He points out
that a broad. comprehensive plan has
been prepared which only awaits con-
2ressional action for execution. The gov
eminent. he we'll says, has the means.
and ii Is a patriotic duty to carry into
effect the projects which perfect the
original capital design Of George Wash
ington and his advising engineer. Len
FAINT Why, indeed. as the President says,
should there be delay? This Is a work
that will stretch over several years. The
money cost will not be felt by the fed
eral Treasury, distributed over consider
aole period. The result will be well worth
the expenditure, making for a national
city of unequaled attractiveness and i'm
pressiveneSs.
The President lays stress upon the need
OF connections between the various large
reservations already established, Poto-
mac, Rock Greek and Soldiers Home.
They are now detached and by a COM
paratively small expenditure can be
brought into union, making the most re-
markable series Of public spaces In the
world. As an extension Of this conception
Of a connected combination Of great
parks. the President recommends the &C
QUESTION OF portions Of the Virginia shore
opposite the District and the union Of
these, made into a single park by asso-
citation with Arlington and Fort Myer,
with the Potomac Park, and the city
system by means Of the Memorial bridge.
Such a bridge he couples with the LIN
coin memorial, the two being appropri-
ately part Of the same concept OF COM
memorating the services OF the great
President who virtually gave his life for
the restoration Of the Union.
Thus President Taft, in what may be
his last word to Congress on the affairs Of
the District Of Columbia. strikes q high
note Of developing the capital along ma
tional lines. He urges improvements in
the administrative organization and in
the artistic setting. His recommendations
all excellent, should meet with prompt
response.

Gov. Wilson and the Trusts.

Gov. Wilson is now busy with ques-
ton of far greater Importance than the
lselection of a cabinet. He is taking
thought of the trusts. and advising with
eminent lawyers as to action. The Jersey
Legislature soon to assemble Is to hear
from him on the subject.
Many prominent democrats hold that. in
"a large measure. the trust question is
state question: that view of the case
subjected Candidate Wilson to criticism
during the presidential campaign. Why
had he done nothing as Governor of New
Jersey to correct the trust evil in that
state? The evil existed there to greater
extent than in any other state. New
Jersey, indeed. was headquarters for
trust interpretations. An effective thrust
there would be felt both there and else
where. What explained his inaction?
Was he helpless. or Indifferent? Was he
talking against the. trusts purely for cam
paign purposes?
Candidate Wilson felt the criticism of
Gov. Wilson. and replied to it, He pleaded
helplessness. and pointed to a legislature
controlled by the republicans 1t had
stood in his way. If he had possessed
the power he would have exercised 1t.
Well, the November elections remedied
this difficulty. That is to say. the demo-
Gratis carried the legislature. and when
that body organizes in January demo-
cratic control OF the state will be COM
plete. II the republicans have been block
ing the wheels their power has ended.
The trust question and other questions
are now with the democrats for solution.
What is Gov. wilson's trust remedy?
What will he ask the legislature to do?
That portion Of his message will have a
national interest and bearing. For what
he recommends to his own state, IL
sound and workable should be applicable
elsewhere as state proposition. and
moreover be worthy Of attention from
national point Of view. There is ma
tional end to the question; and whether
the states do something or nothing. Con-
gress Is certain. with or without a presi-
Dental recommendation, to move in the
premises.
Gov. Wilson's message cannot be fore
cast from bis letters or campaign
speeches. He has had as a candidate to
deal literally in generalities; and. as
we all know, catch phrases are abundant
and easily trolled of. Both sides have
been playing to the galleries as to the
solving of the trust question, and now
everybody Is from Missouri and wants to
be shown. Gov. Wilson has the floor.

Washington in Westminster Abbey.
From the New York World.

The purposed erection OF a monument
to George Washington in Westminster
Abbey as part Of the celebration Of the
century of peace between the United
States and Great Britain Is a striking H.
lustration OF certain magnanimity Of
the Anglo-Saxon mind in dealing with by
gone issues. We have exhibited the same
trait in dealing with the civil war. In the
sense Of higher patriotism than that of
empire, the British people may well claim,
a share in the greatness Of the man they
once denounced as r->>& and traitor. but
monument in their national hall OF fame.
No man ever more truly upheld the
fundamental principles of British liberty
and British law as contrasted with the
imperialisms Of Rome and OF Teutonio
