Washington will probably contribute
more than its proportionate share Of
maintenance fund for a George Wash
ington Memorial Hall In case the United
States appropriates for its construction
on a park site. In that event there will
be no occasion to draw upon the District
tax revenues for the local percentage OF
this amount. There Is altogether too
marked disposition at present to regard
the Districts tax money as available for
all sorts of projects without being match
ed dollar for dollar by federal funds, to
give the least encouragement to this
latest proposal to ignore the organic act.

A Handbook Conviction.

Another conviction in the Police Court
on a charge of making a handbook in
dicates that the judicial processes are
still effective despite the difficulty in the
way of getting evidence sufficient to
convince a jury. Ever since the dis
closure of practically unrestrained
handbook industry in this city a few
years ago there has been a public de-
termination to eradicate this evil. It has
not been as easy. however. to do this as
might have been supposed from the
wide spread of the habit of laying bets
on horses that run at distant race tracks
1t has at times seemed as though there
the part of some of the authorities to
law. but from time to time case is
made and serves to demonstrate that tho
statute is still in force and that some
where persists a determination to give 1t
effect.

cious form of money risking. It is abso-
lutely a matter Of chance. for the layer

creative Of q disregard Of law and often
of the normal obligations Of lie.
When the handbook evil was flourish
ing here. before the crusade OF few
years ago, thousands Of dollars were
wasted weekly. Instances were brought
to light Of families that had been vir-
tually ruined by the indulgence OF the
wage-earner in this expensive form OF

The Southern Situation.

a contesting Roosevelt delegation from
Mississippi Well, Was it inspired by
Mr.. Ormsby McHarg? Let us hope so,
and also hope that Mr.. McHarg may con-
tinue his activities and develop for use
at Chicago the whole southern situation.
He understands the field thoroughly. AT
any rate, he received much of the credit
for what was done down there in aid
of the Roosevelt program four years ago,
and should know his way around. Setting
an expert handler of a steam roller to
stop steam rolling WAS a clever thought.
But can MIR. McHarg turn the trick? Can
he make his contests stick? In the famous
words of young Hamlet, there's the rub.
The southern situation is abnormal and
regrettable, and both parties and the
whole country would benefit by change
dividing the voters on issues other than
odd, unhappy, far-off things, and battles
long ago The existing division Is slight,
as but a skeleton republican party exists
down there. No serious challenge or the
democracy is made in any state. In
Mississippi talk about republican party
sounds droll. A democratic nominee for
President carries the south, no matter
his locality OF his platform.
As result some queer things happen.
Take Louisiana and her sugar interests.
She is democratic by any majority her
voters may find the time on election day
to record. Her delegation in the House
is solidly democratic. The members vot-
ed for Mr.. Clark for Speaker and MIR.
Underwood for chairman of ways and
means. And yet those two men, follow
ing their tariff convictions, are advocat-
ing a measure which were it to become
a law would inf1ict a crushing blow on
the states leading industry.
In her extremity what does louisiana
do? Turns to the republicans for saliva
ton. The President. with the veto power
in reserve. is especially in her eye. Help
me, William Howard, or 1 sink!' The
appeal does not reach deaf ears. Mr.
Taft will help. He Is a protectiOnist, and
all deserving American industries affected
by the tariff have claims upon him. 1t
does not, and should not. matter to him
whether such industries are in republican
or democratic states. The protective
principle applies In all the states.
Will this make any difference in Louisi-
ana's attitude in November? Not par
ticle She will vote against Mr.. Taft. and
in favor of the Baltimore nominee, wheth-
er the latter be Mr.. Clark, or Mr.. Under
wood She will do her best to turn her
friends out of, and bring her enemies
into, power.
But stranger still is the fact that this
abnormal situation rests upon the old
cry Of negro domination. which has no
more to il today than the chatter about
the yellow peril. The dominant race in
the south is in full control Of local af-
fairs, and stands in no more danger of
losing control than of changing the color
of its skin.

From the Baltimore American

The fast freight service of the rail-
roads reaching southwark does not wait
for winter to get out of the lap of spring
in the business Of furnishing the middle
and northern zone cities with garden
truck redolent Of the soil. Each recur-
ring springtime apparently marks a little
further southwark movement Of our
kitchen garden dependencies. There is
hardly anything In the line OF fresh vege-
tables that cannot now be obtained in the
city markets. The price Of most Of
these commodities is rather fanciful. but
there Is undoubtedly brisk demand.

Congress and Pensions.

The Senate has substituted the Nc
CrImber pension bill for the Sherwood
bill. and the matter goes to conference.
There IS expectation of a compromise.
though difficulty may be experienced in
reaching 1t. In the House the Sherwood
bill had large majority. drawn from
both sides of the chamber, and in the
Senate the McCumber bill passed by
vote of two to one. This appears to fore
shadow tug OF war.
The Sherwood bill carries a very large
sum. though there is dispute 10 the
size of 1t. Opponents put the figure at
seventy-odd millions annually, while SUI
porters put il much lower. But, at the
lowest. the figure is large. and particu-
lariy so at time when tariff revision
with a view of reducing revenue is on
the congressional card, and economy is
the House cry.
The McCumber bill carries about TWEEN
ty-five millions annually. and in details
Is we'll drawn. 1t meets the views of
many friends of the old soldiers. and
should 1t become law would carry bene-
fit Ia many worthy veterans.
AS usual. when pensions are under dis
cussion, both sides are accused of playing
politics. The veterans, 1t is charged. are
being coddled for their votes. Bidding is
in progress. and as the case stands the
House is the higher bidder
Whatever individual politicians may

No man or set of men can deliver them

Naturally and properly, they have de-
sired the recognition of the government
they helped to save. The service they
performed was inestimable. No express
sion of it in dollars and cents is pos
sible. a mere money price could not be
put upon 1t.
The veterans appreciate the fact that
the government has dealt generously by
them. Pension allowances have been
large and long continued, and veterans
have had preference in the distribution
of much patronage. No other govern
ment has so fine chapter in it's history.

The District and the Memorial Hall

Senator Roots bill now pending for the
erection by the government of a George
Washington Memorial Hall on the north
era end Of the "armory" section of the
Mall is the most satisfactory proposal vet
advanced for the purpose of providing
here at the capital a proper meeting
place for the conventions which form a
distinguishing feature of the years pro-
gram at the National Capital. A build
ing OF this kind can only be erected as
a public or semi-public enterprise 1t
could not be expected to earn a dividend
for private investors. The proposed COM
bination of a practical and a patriotic
idea makes most effectively for the sue
cess of the plan. For some time an or
ganization has been at work trying to
raise a fund by public subscription for
the erection of the building, but so def
nitely have the people obtained the idea
that the government should chiefly
finance the work that the subscriptions
have been SLOW. and probably IL success
is TO be achieved il will be through the
passage OF some such measure as the
Root bill. which provides for the main
tenance of the building from a fund to
he contributed by the public at large
Doubtless no difficulty at all would be en-
countered in raising a maintenance fund
on such basis.
The latest proposition in this connection
requires an emphatic negative at the out
set, to appropriate out of the Distric,
revenues. without an equal matching OF
federal money, of $3.50 600 as the Dis
trict's share of the 50 500 600 to be raised
by the country at large. In other words
IL is suggested that 10 per cent of the en-.
tire cost of the building-not the mainte.
nance fund, but the cost of the construc
ton itself-should be taken out of the
local tax revenues in a lump. The argu
ment is advanced that inasmuch as the
District would be the chief beneficiar,
from such building 1t should pay tn.
largest single share Of the expense Of 1t.

Trying to Regulate Marriage.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Bishop Anderson of Chicago. supported
by goOdly array of pastors in other
cities, has declared that the church should
not celebrate marriages unless the intend
ing bride and groom bring certificates of
health and sanity. A boston lady, the
Rev. Mabel r. Witham, now purposes to
subject the candidates to three other tests
as well. She will require the certificate
of a flnancier that the man is able to sup
port wife; one from a housekeeper that
the woman Is able to take charge of "A
household. and finally she would have
evidence that the pair are supplied with
love immortal and divine which will
render things glorious in their lives
These are hard rules. No man ever lived
that was perfectly healthy and sane in
the opinion of a physician. No young man
was ever deemed quite competent to at
tend to business by an old financier. No
young woman was ever adjudged good
housekeeper by a council of grandmoth-
ers And who shall give assurance Of the
love immortal and divine?

Auto Reciprocity.
From the Philadelphia Press.

The New Jersey senate on second
thought has reconsidered its unfavora-
BILE action on the automobile reciprocity
bull and has given the measure It's ap-
prevail. 1t is expected that Gov. Wilson
will sign it. He can hardly do otherwise
as the bill is broad measure, putting
New Jersey on a parity with the states
about her. 1t will break down the wall
Of exclusion which delays and annoys au-
tomobilists of other states at the border
of New Jersey and compels them to pay
tribute and qualify themselves by a spe-
cial license before venturing upon any
of the highways of that state. Each state
has its laws regulating automobile travel
and prescribing a license for each car.
The reciprocity provision among the
states simply means that the motorists
who comply with the laws of their own
state may visit and use the highways of
a ne!ghboring state on their home license
provided that similar courtesy is al
lowed to the motorists of the state visited
when they in turn cross into another
state. All the eastern states have law
OF this character except New Jersey. This
state has heretofore refused this neigh
borly and mutually beneficial reciprocity,
but the pending bill when signed will put
1t In harmony with its sister states.

The Jury.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Recall Of judges and even of constitu-
tional decisions can never make the law
thoroughgoing and effective. Some sort
of practical reform Of juries will be re-
quired to do that. 1t is not SO much the
Jury system as the jury that needs at
tention. In the final stage the administra-
ton of justice turns upon the developed
consciousness Of justice in the individual.
The individual citizen must respect the
law. He must be willing to make sacri-
fees to uphold 1t and to demand that 1t
be vigorously enforced. The eccentricities
of lawyers and the vanities of courts will
be swept aside before q state composed
of citizens Of intelligence, conscience and
deep sense Of personal responsibility.
