ORPHANS ENJOYING
DOWN.R|VER TRIP,
GUESTS OF. ELKS
Steamer Manchester Takes
Tots to Marshall Hall for
Annual Outing.

A thousand little orphan boys and
girls. the children Of all but one of the
orphan asylums of this city and Alex
andria, are enjoying a trip down the
river today The one asylum the chill
dren of which were not taken Is st.
AIMS Infant Asylum, where the wards
OF the institution are deemed too young.
But these left-behinds are enjoying
candy and new toys sent them today
by Washington Lodge, No. Is, B. p. o.
Elks, hosts for the children on the
river.
The rain of the early morning was
not heavy enough to cause the abandon
ment Of the trip, in the opinion of
Charles r. Herman, chairman of the
committee in charge, and his associates,
and word was sent the captain of the
steamer Charles Macalester at an early
hour to be ready to leave the wharf at
special street cars, loaded to the doors
with eager-eyed children, began arriv-
Ing at the Seventh street wharf.
A few Of the guests of the day arrived
In automobiles, but most Of the thous-
and came In cars, the use of which was
given by the street railway companies
of the city.
On board the steamer the children
swarmed from boiler room to pilot
house, where only rigid bolting OF the
and the members of the Eiks' commit
tee were called on to use all their
vigilance to Keep some Of the more
restless children from getting into
danger.
At Alexandria the Manchester stop

and motherless little Alexandrians
who were escorted by a committee
Of Alexandria Lodge Of Elks. The
children already on board gave a

Marshall Hall is the destination OF

this afternoon the children will frol-

THE PASSING OF LA TOILETTE.

The most regrettable thing oftthe first days ses-
sion Of the Republican rational convention was the
beginning of the end of Senator LA Folletes power
and influence in national affairs, and in the affairs
OF his own State
His fight for years has been4heroic, pitched on
the high plane Of principle, dsdaning all suggestions
that he temporize stop the work we'll begun in
order to gain some personal momentary advan-
tage. He has been able to WELD the tremendous in
huence that has been his because Of his willingness
to accept personal defeat rather than be victorious
at the expense OF principle
But his action of yesterday,n knitting one Of his
lifelong friends, an able and militant exponent of
progressive ideas, Governor McGovern of Wisconsin,
candidate for temporary chairman of the national
convention, marks the beginning of the end of La
Follette's usefulness. Already many Of his lifelong
followers in Wisconsin have deserted him. Cochems,
the brilliant young progressive of Milwaukee, who
learned his lessons in political independence at La
Follette's feet, was the first to desert and brand
La Folette's refusal to support McGovern as a
Selfish and perversely narrow policy"
And so it was La Foette's jealousy Of Roose-
vet has blinded him to the principles at stake and
the broader issues. Instead Of soldifying the pro-
gressive factions in fight which should have seen
them shoulder to shoulder he attempted to wreck
the whole progressive structure rather than give
NOoScVSN WHdt TIC \Ld TollcuS) Wouiu ue uiS
credit of winning the preliminary fight.
Yet had McGovern been chosen chairman the
victory would not have been Roosevelts victory any
more than it would have been La Folette's or Cum
Minis. 1t would have been victory Of all the pro-
gressives and with this vantage point gained they
could have tested out their respective strength later
| on without injury to the cause.
Cummns organization saw this and supported
McGovern to man. La Follette's real friends saw
it, but were repudiated by their own leader. As a
result Of this action La Toilette today finds himself
hopelessly out of the fight as Presidential candi-
date and his supremacy at home undermined. Cum
Minis, by showing disposition to unite on the essen
tials did not compromise his personal campaign.
He is in position now where, if Roosevelt cannot
be nominated he will be the beneficiary Of the pro-
gressive movement
La Toilette in attempting to pull down the pillars
of the temple crushed one but himself 1t Is
lamentable that striking figure should finally be
destroyed upon the rock that has wrecked many
public men-the rock Of personal ambition and a
desire to get even."
1t is a matter for congratulhton, however, that
the progressive movement was not wrecked nor will
lack for leaders to take La Follettes place. not
even in Wisconsin.

ON HEALTH BILL
Prefers to Talk Commercial

Committee Report.

Prefcrring the interests Of trade to
those Of the public health OF the Dis
trict, The Board Of Trade at its meet
ing at the willard last night, voted
to lay on the table the report Of its
public health committee. which sought
TO approve a bill regulating cold stor-
age of food supplies in the District.
After listening to a denunciation Of
the bill on the ground that II would
be detrimental to the interests OF those
engaged IN the cold storage business in
the District, the board denied DR.. d.

health committee. any opportunity to
reply to- the attack, and voted down
the committees recomm endation after
the onc-sided discussion. using motion
to lay on the table as the means to pre-

One Of the recommendation Of the
committee on public health, the report
OF which was presented by DR.. Hick-

had been erected here by Washington
capital to the extent Of $4,000. which
would be useless IL the proposed bill
were passed. The measure would drive
trade to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and
Chicago. he said, and that the legisla-
tion Is unnecessary. He closed by
moving to lay the matter on the table.

Want Women's Help
For Citizens Body

At meeting last evening in the homo
of Julian Marceron, the secretary Of the
Congress Heights Citizens Association,
when several women were present, as
we'll as members of the association, for
the purpose Of organizing a woman's
auxiliary to the citizens association. it
was decided to defer action for at least
two weeks. There was no decrease in
the interest responsible for the move
ment to organize a womans auxiliary,
this action will follow in a little while.
Several people whose attendance was
desired were out of the city.
As outlined by the officers Of the citi
zens' association the sphere of the wo-
mems auxiliary will be to suggest to
the association improvement issues, pre-
side over social features and hold meet
ings entirely distinct from those of the
citizens association.
