The Change-of-Date Item.

Is this session to be allowed to drift
along from week to week without action
on the joint resolution proposing a con-
stitutional amendment changing the date
of the inauguration? If the calculations
of leaders of the House who are now
trying to secure an early adjournment are
correct Congress will close its work in
about a month, and there will be very
measure unless it is brought up In the
House without further delay. That body
is now al work on miscellaneous matters
of a general character, awaiting the con-
ference reports on the appropriation bills,
most of which have been sent to the Sem
ate There should be opportunity for
early action on the change of-date resolu-
tion so that II can be brought up in the
Senate with the prestige of House passage
before the final rush. 1t Is possible, OF
course, that Congress may not finish its
work by the time the national conventions
are held, and in that event IL may be
held together for several weeks after the
nominations are made. But 1t is not
safe to depend upon such a postponement
of the adjournment. This should be re-
garded as one OF the most urgent items
on the legislative program, and 1t will be
highly unfortunate If 1t is allowed to be
complicated with the proposition to
lengthen the presidential term and to
limit incumbency to a single term. That
is largely a political question. while the
change-of- proposal has no political
bearing. and appeals to the common
sense and the patriotism Of Americans Of

Spectators and Players.

The Cobb case, which has been adjusted
without serious difficulty. is likely to
lead to a development of some measure
of protection TO base ball players from
the abusive attentions of spectators who
now feel themselves at liberty to express
their sentiments in terms of the most
scathing criticism and personal insult. If
this is the case, the incident will have
been of value in developing the sport as
popular entertainment. OF recent years
there has been much less than in the
past of personal criticism of players
Time was, not very many years ago,
when one of the supposed pleasures of
the game was to roast the performers
Squads of men would station themselves
at points of vantage from which they
could launch their strong language at the
particular objects of their dislike, usually
some unlucky local player The epithets
hurled upon these unfortunate men in
uniform ranged all the way from silly
slang into unprintable profanity. Spec
tators took keen delight in tormenting
the men at the bat or the fielders who
were not always perfect in their per-
formances. The criticism and abuse of
visiting players has not. as rule. been
tention showered upon home performers
who have fallen out of favor, but occa-
sionally, as in this case of Cobb and the
New York spectator, there have been in
stances of keen personal animosities. The
partisanship which keeps the game alive
runs occasionally to such extremes that
a skilled performer on the other side is
viewed as an enemy. But, as already
suggested, this spirit is passing and a
higher sense of craftsmanship is manifest
ing itself on the part of the spectators at
ball games. There is more applause for
skillful work on the part of visiting play
ers. In this city, particularly, the fine
points of the game, whether displayed on
the home side or the other, are keenly
appreciated. and many a player who
wears the uniform of the opposition is
cheered for something he has done that
robs the local contingent of runs and pos
sibly even victory. This spirit is grow
ing, and with it is a demand for fair
play for the performers. Thus, if Player
Cobb had held his fists and made public
protest against the language and antag-
onism of his critic in the grandstand. he
would have been applauded on all sides.
for the crowd is almost to a man insist
ent upon decent treatment for those who
are doing their best to win ball games for
their respective sides. and who are. with
rare exceptions, maintaining the tradi-
tons of high-class, clean American
sport.

breeding places. to keep manure pits Pc
riodicaIly cleaned and screened at all
times and to scour out the hooks and
corners where the fly eggs may be Matched
in damp refuse.
The cleanup week which began April
Is gave the city a good start toward the
reduction of the fly population. but the
pestiferoIs insects are so persistent IN
hunting up trash that 1t is necessary 10

words, a high standard of cleanline ss

left to the initiative of individuals. There
still remain dirty places that are within
easy observation from public points or
vantage. and these should be officially re-
ported by policemen. so that the clean
ing process can go on continuously.
The covering of garbage cans is just a
detail of good housekeeping 1t stands to
reason that if flies cannot get at such
places they will not carry about with
them the products of fermentation and
decay. If the cans are kept covered and
the houses are kept screened what flies
remain after the slaughter will do little
damage, either in the way of multiplied
ton or invasion of the premises. While. of
course it may be impossible to extermi-
nate the fly absolutely, 1T is by no means
impossible to reduce the number and re-
strict the range of injurious activity so
that Washington can in one season be
made practically fyless. and this Will
mean a decided gain in health. This is
something that every householder in the
capital should strive to attain.

The Ohio Campaign.

Ii is over. and probably both of the re-
publican contestants feel a sense of re-
lief Certainly the country does And
NAV the like of il never take place again.
MIR Taft responded to an unusual provo
cation Nothing less would have forced
him into such a course. Both his sim
ceritv as party leader and his word as
a man had been questioned by Mr.. Roose
velt and the latter's friends. and there
was nothing else for him to do but
spond not only with vigor, but In a way
hest suited for reaching the public in the
emergency.
And once on the stump he confronted
the necessity for plain speaking Soft
words butter no parsnips. Mr. Taft was
dealing with history perverted and history
invented by his opponents. and no choice
was left him as to how he should do his
work. He did IL with energy. and in do
ing ii employed terms which reached the
spot.
In closing his campaign Mr.. Taft called
attention TO the fact that Mr. Roosevelt
had left two of his questions unanswered:
a. Whether if elected President he,
Roosevelt, would abandon the suits
against the steel trust and the harvester
trust, and (2) whether he would declare
against a fourth term in the White House
Mr.. Roosevelt's silence, however, need
not mislead anybody. Some very consid-
cradle trust influences are supporting him
now. and if he wins they will claim their
share of the victory. They operate on
basis which calls for business" and are
not slow about demanding a return on all
investments. Ordinarily they know their
friends, and are accustomed to having
their friends serve them. So Mr.. Tafts
first question answers itself. If the trusts
feared Mr.. Roosevelt they would not be
contributing coin to his strong box.
And Mr.. Tafts second question an
swers itself. Nothing is more certain
than that if Mr.. Roosevelt gets a third
he will desire and maneuver for fourth
term. Not only does he love power, but
his program is far too large for fulfill
ment in four years. He would have pro-
crossed only so far at the time of the
holding of the national convention in 1916
a to make him determined upon trying
for another term. If Mr.. Roosevelt is re-
turned TO the White House he will stay
as long as he can, and use all the influ-
ence of his office toward the carrying
out of all his purposes.
In office again Mr.. Roosevelt might fail.
and in 1916 be unpopular as Mr.. Cleye-
land was in 1896. But that he would
strive for longer power with all his might
cannot be doubted when the character
and the career of the man are consid-
cred He has a much larger equipment
for public affairs than Mr. Cleveland
possessed. and far outranks him in the
finesse of politics. By comparison. Mr..
Cleveland both clumsy and M
monplace man, relying for results more
upon resolution than upon intellectual re-
sources carefully marshaled and applied.

From the New York World.
Possibly to test the patience and credu-
lily of the public, the suggestion is put
forth that the usual June discount of 30
cents ton on coal will not be offered
because of scant supply and the higher
labor cost of mining. The usual April
and May discounts of 80 and 40 cents a
ton have already been withheld. There
is no coal shortage. The mining COM
panies put out large quantities in antici-
patton of strike. They have boosted

them only in part has been resorted to as
a precaution. but is no longer necessary.
There is plenty of time to mine coal for

That these recreation centers make for

physical helpfulness, there can be no rea-

of many young men and young women
who would not otherwise have such an
opportunity. Some of the notices OF
these recreation centers are worth noting,
such as That strength of body. allied to
strength of mind. will develop good, all
around Americans" Another maxim is
THAT the millions spent for warfare
would be better spent for welfare.
