Tax on District Anglers.

The provision Of recent Maryland law
that non-residents of that state shall pay
an annual license fee Of SO for the right
to fish for bass in the upper Potomac
during the open season from May / to
September 10 will be regarded as un-
neighborly by the many hundreds, per-
hars thousands. OF District people who
at one time or another during the season
seek sport and recreation in the tumbling,
swirling waters above Washington.
II Is desirable that the bass of the upper
Potomac shall be protected, and IL the
present law is not effective for that pur-
pose it might be amended in ways that
would still leave fishing free to men
equally without legislating in favor of
those who can afford to pay tax Of $40
for the sport and against those who can
not afford TO pay this sum in addition to
the other necessary costs.
1t is questionable whether the measure
will produce much revenue to the state.
II will cause a loss to the Maryland boat
men and storekeepers along the river
with whom the District fishermen spend
money-usually far In excess of the value
of the fish caught.
Votaries Of the rod and line have a say
ing that the next best thing to catching
fish is not catching them, and nine out
ten Of the city men who cast their lines
in the upper Potomac do so for the fun
of angling and not for the pleasure of
eating bass. The ratio of bass to angling
is small apd the District money circulated
in Maryland by anglers is considerable.
There ought to be some way of giving
bass ample protection without selling the
privilege of trying to catch them.

Confederate Graves at Arlington.

A memorial floral cross In the Confed-
crate plot at Arlington was unveiled yes
| terday and flowers were strewn on
southern graves in the national cemetery.
The impressive ceremony adds another
chapter to the movement begun a few
years ago to give honor to the memory
of those soldiers of the south whose
bones lie under the sod of beautiful Ar
lington. The mortal remnants Of these
brave men are mingled in the same soil
with those of thousands of gallant Fed
erals and lie close beside the graves of
many men of the south and north, the
east and the west who served in the
ing from that conflict.
The Confederates who sleep at Airing
ton were not battle-slain men. They died
in the Union prisons and hospitals in
and around Washington. Their graves
were scattered and. though carefully re-
corded, were unmarked until few years
ago. Soon after the question of doing so
was raised the bones were disinterred and
reburied in the new part" Of Arlington,
part which is rapidly filing with
graves.
OF all the states Georgia has the larg-
est number of sons buried in this Con-
federate plot, about seventy. North Car
DINA comes next with forty-five, Ala
bama. thirty-five; Virginia, thirty three;
| Mississippi. twenty, and Louisiana, South
| Carolina. Tennessee, Florida and Texas
follow. The numbers are approximate,

what" be stricken out, and tho word
who substituted?
And curiosity is stimulated by the
fact that Mr.. McHarg is a convert to
Rooseveltism. Two years ago, when
Mr.. Roosevelt came forward in the
New York state contests. Mr.. McHarg
not only opposed him, but denounced
him In his new form as dangerous
that in his opposition he was perform
ing duty both to the republican
party and to the country.
What has happened since to lead Mr..
McHarg into the Roosevelt fold? If
Mr.. Roosevelt was undesirable as a re-
publican state leader in 1910. why is
he not more undesirable in his aspira-
tons to be the republican national
Leader In 1912? Two years ago thou
sands Of New York republicans agreed
with Mr.. McHarg. and as a result Mr..
Roosevelt's leadership in the state
matter was rejected at the polls Men
voted for q Tammany ticket in order
to emphasize their objection to the
proposed revival Of Mr.. Roosevelt's in
fiuence in New York affairs.
Should we not see thousands of re-
publicans. not only in New York, but
in other states. take like course in
case of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination at
Chicago? Unquestionably. The Roose-
welt people themselves concede as
much. and support their plan by as
summing that thousands of democrats
would come over to them and thus in
sure Mr.. Roosevelt's election.
Mr. McHarg has material which
should capitalize well in a book, or in
a lecture or series Of lectures on the

gratihed without slaughter and arson.
They conceived that the signers of the
Declaration of Independence could be
honored without mutilating children or
burning down houses. The idea began to
take hold and to make converts. But
there was a good deal Of opposition, es-
pecially from those who wanted to tsell
gunpowder to immature or irresponsible
persons.
Order has been brought out OF Fourth
Of July disorder in many cities, Washing
ton among them. Fireworks have been
properly regulated, and the populace usu-
ally gets better display than when the
people were left to their own resources.
Mortality and fire loss have been reduced

Departure of the Crowd.

The Columbus Memorial exercises and
the many religious and civil ceremonies
attendant on them have ended and WASH
lngton resumes the even tenor of its
way. The dedicatory service was bril-
liant and historic, the pageant was one
of the most impressive civic-military pro-
cessions that has moved along the Ave-
nue-the great parade way of the world
and the services in the numerous Catholic
churches in Washington attracted thou
sands. The military field mass, the Sec
ond held on the White Lot. and which 1t
may be assumed will be an annual serv-
ice. called together an immense concourse
of people. The order of the knights OF
Columbus is known to millions OF Amer
leans whose prior knowledge of the or
SANITATION was hazy or negligible and
this because the ceremonies were held at
Washington. the publicity center of the
western world
Even though occurring close to the mo-
ment OF the great quadrenniaI conven-
tionS of the American political parties
and while political excitement is at a
high pitch. the Columbus Memorial and the
Knights of Columbus exercises at Wash
ington have. because of the immense
newspaper space given TO them. attracted
the attention of the whole people of the
United States. The news has been spread
through all parts of the world wherever

pine and intelligence of the Washington

ways draw host OF people mainly bent
on revel. The hospital service and IA
eilities were not taxed and the fire de-
psrtment. though alert and ready for

An Orderly Fourth.

Programs for neighborhood Fourth Of

According to the news as published in

Brookland Citizens Associations are pre-

pirate observance of Independence day.
The idea of a sane and decorous comment
grafton OF the national birthday has de-
veloped at an encouraging pace. Three or
four years ago the demand for other than
fatal and incendiary celebration OF the
Fourth was looked on by millions as
efYemnate, as violation of American
traditions or as an infringement OF the
rights of the American boy. A bloody
celebration was considered not only as
appropriate. but as essential. Any other
kind would be antagcnistic Of the popular
will.
A few venturesome men and women
conceived the idea that the patriotic spirit
could be fos1ered and the festival spirit

The ladies who want Andrew Carnegie
for Secretary OF War and Hetty Green
for Secretary Of the Treasury seem to
have gotten mixed as to the qualifications
of the eminent personages they so as
siduously strive to compliment. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury has certain re-
sponsibilities in the way of disbursement
which would appeal to one who, like Mr..
Carnegie. loves to pay out large sums.
On the other hand. Mrs. Green's strategic

Senator Nelson's charge connecting
American trust interests with the present
disorder In Cuba should be thoroughly in
vestigated. IT presents new phase OF
the trust question very much sraver than
any hitherto developed. To manipulate
properties so as to control prices of COM
modities and pile up wealth in a few
hands for the benefit of few persons is
a small offense by comparison witt TO-
menting an armed revolt based on racial
lines against friendly government. If
the sugar trust has had any part or lot
in what now threatens the Gomez govern
ment in Cuba 1t should in some way be
brought to book
There is a good deal of foreign capital
invested in Cuba. and liberal portion is
American. 1t is there by right, and has
been of benefit to the island. The hope
of Cuba under the Cuban flag is in devel-
opment through such means.
But this money has been invested with
fun knowledge of Cuban conditions and
of the attitude of the American govern
ment toward the Cuban government.
Cuba is free, and the best sentiment in the
United States desires that she shall re-
main Annexation would for a long
time be burden TO US; and our load is
already heavy enough. We do not want
Cuba, and should resist strenuously all
schemes of whatever nature and inspired
in whatever quarter for forcing the is
lard on us.
And If the sugar trust is guilty, the
penalty should be the heavier for the
character of the revolt inspired. We are
not strangers to the race question. We
have known il from the fo,nda fion of our
own government. African slavery trou-
bled us in the early stages of our VEN
ture. and grew in power until il produced
the civil war. Then came the enfran-
chisement of the blacks by the national
authority, and then their Acknowledgement
by state authorities: and today we have
a race question sufficiently difficult to
keep us all anxious on that score.
Financing a war calls for large re-
sources. Even bands of bushwhackers
without general organization require sup
port They may levy on the country for
rations for themselves and provender for
their horses, but they must have arms
and liberal renewals of ammunition, and
money and outside connections are the
reliance
Ii il is true, then. that in Cuba and in
Mexico American capital is assisting tur-
moil i'm the hope and for the purpose of
forcing annexation. the owners of such
capital and their agents should be ex-
posed and dealt with. The senator from
Minnesota is not a sensationalist and as
he stands sponsor for the inquiry asked,
the request should receive prompt atten-
ton. He will Ct course assist in every
way to make 1t thorough.
