WASHINGTON, Dec. 9o.-Else-

WASHINGTON, Dec. ?o.-Else-
where than in Washington, a change
of presidents attracts comparatively
little attention. The newspapers ov.

lions of the inauguration ceremonies,
and here and there a postmaster turns
over his office to someone IN closer
sympathy with the incoming admins.
tration, but the ordinary citizen goes
about his business rs usual and even
has to correst himself occasionally
because he has alluded to President
"a" after President b has taken the
| chief seat of authority.
At the capital, however. the case Is
different. Here the president counts
for something in his individual capac'
ity, for he is looked upon as the So
cial as well as the political head OF
the nation. Hats are dotted when he
passes In the street. Everybody rises
| when he enters a room. An invita-
, ton to a private function at the
White House has among the initiate
the force of a command. II the pres.
ident dimes out, he sits at the head
of the hosts table. AID ladies' of all
ages and ranks, including the mem.
bers of his family step aside to let
him 20 through a door ahead of them.
These and many cognate dignities, or
course, appertain to the office rather
than to the man.; but in a community
where they are a standard part OF
the alphabet Of general intercourse,
a certain Importance attaches to the
question, who and what n OF
person Is he to whom they are to be
rendered?
The Washington View.
When any party has held the reins
of power for a long series of years,

] garding it in much the same light

the alteration of the tides-as some.
thing varying slightly in its phenOm'
ena, but in substance fixed and un'
changeable. A partisan overturn at
the polls, therefore, gives the city a
bit of a shock, eve though all the
conditions may have led outsiders
generally to expect it; for to the
Washington mind it means that ev-
erything will have to be readjusted
to fit the new orGA. of affairs. Mr..
Wilson's advent is bound to cause not
a little commotion, though this will
be as nothing compared with what
happened when Mr.. Cleveland came
in; for the democratic party had then
been for twenty.eight years unable
to elect-or, at any rate, to inaugur-
ate-a president, and in the mean
time a civil war had wrought ire
| mendous changes in the structure OF
the republic and in the outlook OF the
people. :.

PREsIDfNTIAL VOIING

Out in Mime sofa they are al.
ready experimenting with the pre-
ferential vote system O. some
degree. Under that plan the voter
is permitted to indicate his second
choice as we'll as his first. For
example, progressive might take
Roosevelt first and Wilson second,
or if he had no second choice. vote
for one candidate only.
Then in the count. if not one
candidate has a decisive majority
in first choice, majority is sought
for iE the combined first and second.
The idea is that thus, on the gen
eral average, the election will
come close to showing what most
citizens want, and the vote which is
turned merely by political ex-
pediency disappears.
There are other things about this
system. 1t makes political manipula-
tions difficult. 1t tends to keep
down campaign lies and person
alities and leads the campaiRners
to discuss their opponents fairly.
because they would like to get
second choice votes, where they
can't get first. The system can be
worked with great ease on our
present type of ballots.
There are many other reasons
why this plan should receive
serious consideration here in New
Jersey. Perhaps chief among
them is, that with the present
trend of party history will be driven
to something of this kind unless we
are resigned to be governed by
minorities.
A further point is. that with the
system properly carried out, per
haps to third, and other choices,
the expensive primary might prove
unnecessary! Newark News.

JONAH LNO THE WHALE

( {.
Ia view Of the wide spread re-
port that the new Baptist version
Of the Holy Scriptures modernixts
the story of Jonah eliminating
the whale" an animal with a
throat of inadequate dimensions
for swallowing an adult human
being and substitutes the less speri-
tic and more possible great fish"
as the carrier of the prophet. it
seems worth while to remark:
/. There. is no mention Of
whale in the King James version Of
the Book of Jonah:
Now the Lord has prepared
great fish to swallow up Jonah.
And Jonah was in the belly of
tho fish three days and three nights.
Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord
his God out of the fish's belly.
And the Lord spake unto the fish
and it omitted out Jonah upon the
land.
2. There is no mention of
whale in the Old Testament nara
tive in the revised version:
And the Lord prepared great
fish to swallow ~ Jonah, and Jonah
was in the belly of the fish three
days and three nights. Their Jonah
prayed unto the Lord his God out
of the whales's belly - And
the Lord spoke unto the fish and
it vomited out Jonah upon the
land.
3. There is no mention of
whale in the Douay version of the
Book of Jonah:
Now the Lord prepared a grea,
fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas
was in the belly of the fish three
days and three nights. And Jonah
prayed to the Lord his God out of
the belly of the fish. And
the Lord spoke to the fish and it
vomited out Jonah upon the dry
land.
q The single mention of q
whale as the preserver of Jonah
occurs in the gospel according to
st. Matthew, translated not from
the Hebrew but from the Greek:
For as Jonah was three days and
three nights in the whales belly,
etc."
This is from the King James
version. The revised version and
the Douay version likewise mention
the whale. Such is the only basis
together with such repetitions as
the pictorial version of the New
England primer, for the popular
idea of Jonah's adventure In
making Matthew correspond with
the account of the Book of Jonah

PORTABLE ASPHALT
PLANT SOON TO Be
ACQUIRED BY CITY
First Step in Plan of
Government to Do
Work.

Washington is to have a portable
municipal asphalt plant. The Com
missioners today approved the recon-
mendation of Capt. Mark Brook, AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner, that he
and Inspector e. F. Mccormick be sent
to Cleveland, Ohio, in connection with
the purchase of the plant for which
Congress has appropriated 1880. Cleve-
land operates not only a municipal own
ed asphalt plant, but a portable plant
which is used in street repair work.
The acquisition by the District Of q
portable plant Is the first step toward
the establishment of a Government own
ed institution which will do all the work
of paving and repairing streets in the
District, now performed under contract.
Convinced from investigations rnade
by Engineer Commissioner Judson that
q large annual saving would be effected,
the Commissioners In their last esti-
mates to Congress included an item of
$50, 900 for the establishment of the
municipal plant.
Congress failed to make the appro-
priation. but included In the bill an
item of 5000 for an investigation of
the desirability and cost of establishing
such plant. and $500 for portable
plant to be used exclusively in street
repair work. Captain Brooke and In
spector Mccormick will visit Cleveland
about August l. 1t Is expected the port
able plant will be in operation in the
District by September 1. y. W.

HEPBURN PROTESTS
TRIBUTE PAID TO
THOMAS JEFFERSON
Senator Objects to Treating
Original Democrat as
Founder of Nation.

A resolution by Senator MARITIME
providing for a joint committee Of
the House and Senate to investigate
the question of purchasing the home
of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello
provoked controversy in the Senate
today.
The preamble to the resolution paid
a high tribute to Thomas Jefferson as
the guiding genius of the young re-
public. This led Senator Hepburn,
who is a standpat Republican, to OBJ
jcct to the consideration of the meas
ure when II was called up by Senator
Cummins. who reported II from the
Library Committee.
Senator HeyDurn objected to the
preamble and the tribute paid Jeffer-
son. He insisted he was not to be
treated as the founder of the nation
and author of the Declaration of In
dependence.
After voicing his objections. and air
Ing his Views, Senator Hepburn then
Il will now withdraw my objections
and let the Senate do as 1t pleases."
Senator MARITIME took the floor and
said he regretted the Senator from
Idaho could not indorse the preamble.
He alluded to the fact Hepburn had
