A Law Is Needed.

The failure of the attempt TO regu-
late the election of delegates from the
District of Columbia to the Republi-
can national convention by means of
legal proceedings must have been an
ticipated 1t is difficult to see how the
courts can be expected TO exercise
jurisdiction over a matter which is not
governed by statute.
It IS to be regretted that Congress
has not seen proper to enact ere this
the measure introduced by Senator
Bristow, which would give the sanction
of law TO the choice of District dele
gates to the two national conventions.
1t is no exaggeration to characterize
the present situation as an utter ab-
surdity. When votes" are deposited
i'll ballot boxes by the bushel, when
voters" arc transported from polling
place to polling place by the wagon
load, when the whole transaction is
devoid of any semblance of law and
order, it cannot be said that the elcc-
ton, so-called, IS anything more than
a farce.
Senator Bristow's bill does not give
the ballot to the people of the Dis
trict. 1t simply provides that they may
express their preference for a Presi-
dental candidate under proper safe
guards and that the delegates which
represent the District shall reflect this
preference. If it could be enacted into
law, it would give dignity and value to
the participation of the District in ma
tional conventions and happily abolish a
condition of affairs which is not to the
credit of the Nations Capital.

President Taft's New Role.

President Taft loses nothing by as
suming the offensive. His one error in
the past was that he has been
apologize, explanatory, and defensive.
His speeches during his Western trip
and his interview in the Outlook were
of this character. His intimation in
his Hamilton Club address at Chicago,
concerning the Republican future,
seemed to be tinctured with discour-
agcment, not TO say despair.
His attitude has now entirely changed.
He IS confident OF success, he is GER
tain that what he has done is right, he
maintains that his party's policies are
for the best interests of the country.
His assumption of this position not only
strengthens him before the people, but
gives his party followers renewed cour-
age He may not care to emulate his
predecessor by insisting that everything
he docs is right, but he must admit that
the American people delight in positive
assertion and undaunted front If the
whole world loves lover, none the
less docs it admire ! fighter. No one
ever won . battle by admitting defeat
before the first gun was fired.
Despite all that may be said by the
opposition, President Taft has much
to his credit If he goes forth pano-
piled in the consciousness of honest en-
dcavor, if he strikes with courageous
arm instead of apparently fearing an
ticipatcd blows, he will infuse now cour-
age into the Republican organization
and convert indifference and apathy into
active support.

sIanderous AecusatIons Do Not Dis
turb Tenor of Her Ways.
Prom ths Baltimore Star.
Efforts insidiously made to cause 1t to
appear that the Republican leaders in
Maryland have been wavering in their
support OF President Taft for a renomi-
nation will deceive nobody. As they have
specifically declared, they have been on
the Taft bandwagOn personally all the
time. But the Republican party IN Mary
land is not herded and driven by q hand
full OF machine manipulators. Its leaders
lead according to party. Therefore. the
governor. former Congressman jackson,
Representative Parran, and Chairman
Hanna, while they knew what would be
the sentiment OF the Republicans Of the
State, have waited until the expression
OF that sentiment became general before
expressing themselves publicly for Mr..
Taft's candidacy.
This was the original Taft State. Mary
lands Republican convention selected the
then Secretary Of War for the highest
honor in the gift OF the party long be-
fore the choice OF the national Republi-
can party had begun to crystalline around
him as the party candidate It ohiciaIiy
nominated him as Maryland's candidate
months before the race for the honor
had become anything but a free-for-all.
And Maryland Republicans are not in the
habit OF changing their minds without
sound reason.
In this case they have had their choice
approved not only by the people OF the
country by an almost unprecedented pop
ular vote, but by the admirable record OF
the President whom they had so large q
voice in selecting. They stand pat now
with full assurance OF the approval OF
the party and the country.

About Washington.

OF the writing about Washington
there is no end. The National Capital
eternally appeals to the magazine con-
tributors. 1t presents so many attrac-
tive phases that its interest never seems
to wane.
In the current issue of Scribner's is
an article upon The New Washing
ton," by Montgomery Schuyler. 1t
deals mainly with architectural Wash
ington-the public buildings, past, pres
ent, and future-and, as might be sup
posed, expresses qualification that the
style of the State, War and Navy De-
partment Building and the Pension Of
fee is not to be repeated in the struc-
lures recently authorized by Congress.
Also, as might have been expected, there
is much advice to the Washington peo-
pie as to what they should and should
not do. For instance, there is criticism
because some OF the financial and COM
merciaI buildings in Washington arc
limitations of government edihces. On
the other hand, the New Masonic Tenn
pie is praised because it is built of
humble material, which is only baked
clay" and the New Willard is per-
fectly proper because ''of its rcnuncia-
ton of marble and granite in favor of
modest limestone"
This is really quite interesting, as,
indeed, is the condemnation of those
citizens in Washington who would de-
sire to sec more commercial activity
here. They are so ilI-advised," writes
Mr.. Schuyler, "as to agitate for the
commercial booming of the Capital by
the encouragement of manufactures.
That would be-" he adds, "a suicidal
operation" Entertaining these views,
it is no wonder that Mr.. Schuyler COM
mends the proposition Of the Engineer
Commissioner to regulate by law
every phase of private construc-
ton, including architectural design
and building material In other words,
Mr.. Schuyler would relegate the
citizen of the District to a posi-
ton where he would be deprived of
every vestige of independence and he
subordinate to arbitrary regulation and
authority.
1t is not likely that the District peo-
pie will be asked to sacrifice all their
individuality and their personal rights
for the mere privilege of residing in
the National Capital At the same time,
it is worth while reviewing Mr. Schuy-
ler's suggestions. They give US view
point of District citizenship as present
ed to the country through the medium
of an influential magazine.

Make the Names Public.

Senator Bryan's bill proposing to
make public the names of the persons
upon the pension roll, with their ad-
dresses, length of military service, and
the law under which they receive their
pensions, ought TO become a law.
The pension list is characterized as
roll of honor. This being the case,
there can certainly be no objection 10
giving publicity to the names which are
upon it. If, on the other hand, there
be any who are receiving bounty which
is undeserved, # is but right that their
fraud should be exposed.
The United States is now expending
over $I5ooooooo annually for pensions.
1t is a great pay roll, and for this rea-
son ought to be scrutinized with the
closest care.

Alexandria County.

Much interest attaches to the action
of the Virginia legislature looking to-
ward giving municipal rights to Alex
andria County. A bill with that object
in view has passed the Virginia SEN
ate and is said to have fair prospect
of favorable consideration in the house.
This bill, following the lead of the
State constitution, provides that the
supervisors of Alexandria county shall
be clothed with the powers of alder
men and city council, with the Judge
of the county court as umpire upon
acts and regulations made by them for
the government of the people.
Alexandra County is the smallest and
most densely populated county in the
State of Virginia. It has an area about
equal to the District of Columbia, and
was originally that part of Virginia
ceded to the United States as part of
the Federal District. 1t has about H.
600 square miles and upward of 10000
inhabitants. One-fourteenth of the ter
ritory is held by the Federal govern
ment at Fort Myer and Arlington. To
incorporate the county into several
small towns or into one big town does
not meet with public favor, so it has
been determined to organize the county
government as a municipality, with
power in the supervisors to levy taxes,
establish police control, build side
