The Women's Tribute.

The proposal that the women Of the
United States shall contribute. each at
the rate of 81. to a fund for a memorial
to heroic mankind in recognition of the
manner in which the men on the Titanic
met their death after giving up their
chances for the sake of the women and
the children. should appeal Immediately
and universally to the end of prompt and
complete success. Nothing finer has been
heard since the THAMES loss than the
unbroken chorus Of praise and apprecia-
ton for the conduct Of those men who to
the end stood steadfastly true to the
highest traditions Of manhood. The
women Of the United States are now to
be given an opportunity. through an or
ganization just formed in this city, to
testify to this sentiment. The wife of the
President of the United States has given
the first dollar and started the fund
Women whose names are known through
out the country have offered their serv-
ices In the organization. and business
men Of the highest standing have. lent
their aid to insure an effective handling
of the funds. Subscriptions have already
been received and are drawing interest
for the benefit Of the fund. which should

monument that will in every respect be
an adequate and appropriate expression
of the feeling of American womanhood
toward the heroes Of the Titanic. There
is no other place than Washington where
such creation could stand SO effectively
before all the people OF the country, and
1t is fitting that the work Of putting this
enterprise In the way Of success should

A Bill to Fix Water Rates.

Representatives of ten citizens associa-
tons held meeting last night to urge
the passage Of bill recently introduced
by Senator Gallinger fixing the rates for
water furnished to private consumers in
the District at 3 cents hundred cubic
feet. This is the present rate. and the
bill has been introduced for the purpose
Of preventing the enforcement of the
rates arbitrarily established by the Com
missioners a few months ago to take eff
feet the first Of the fiscal year. At the
time the Commissioners announced their
decision. without having given the public
any practical opportunity to be heard on
the question, there was a very general
demand for a new trial of the issue,
which, however, has thus far been refused
In the circumstances an appeal to Con-
gress is the only possible way to prevent
the imposition of the higher rates, the in
equity of which has been suggested by the
Commissioners own statistics. and the
necessity for which has never been
demonstrated. The Gallinger bill offers
an opportunity for the water consumers
to carry the matter before the District
committees of the House and Senate.
where they will have a chance to be
ers' own arguments in support OF the
higher rates. The bill has, in the course
of procedure. been referred to the COM
missioners for report and they have just
returned II to the Senate with an adverse
Endorsement, together with the Commits
sioners' reasons for the imposition of the
increased water tax. Thus the bill in a
way serves notice upon the Commission
ers to show cause why the rate should
be advanced. In view of the almost
unanimous opposition of the citizens to
this addition to the local tax, burden,
and the absence of any clearly demon
strated necessity, it is to be expected that
strong representation will be made before
the Senate District committee on behalf
Of the water consumers. The argument
against an increase has not yet been sue
cessfully met, and the action Of the Com
missioners stands without real 1ustifica-
ton and with one of the three municipal
heads dissenting. To be effective this
measure should be passed at the present
session, and it is to be hoped that it will
be pressed vigorously.

The Insanity Of Ambition.
From the Springfield Republican.

OF all types Of temperament and charac-
ter. Theodore Roosevelt's would be the
least desirable for this republic and this
democracy to experiment with in the act
Of destroying the unwritten law against q
third term In the presidency Of the United
States. When he became President be-
fore, he was first Of all the creation Of an
assassin's bullet and, In his youth and in
experience, the ablest and wisest men oil
his party went to aid and counsel him
Their powerful restraint was ever active
but not always sufficient to curb his in
stinct and passion to establish one-man
rule Imagine Mr.. Roosevelt placed again
in the White House. Who would be his
advisers and cOunselors? Who at his side
could venture. who would dare to resist
his will, to point out his errors Of judg-
ment, to subject his program to a cold
reason?

change IL due to Mr. Taft Nobody who
cares to remember has forgotten the
Akron speech made by Mr.. Taft at a
time when Mr.. Cox was at the height of
his power. He denounced Cox rule
roundly. and for doing so was himself
denounced by the Cox people in Ohio and
by the friends of bosses elsewhere.
From that day Cox's power began to
decline. and today it is nil. And yet Mr..
Roosevelt would have the voters OF
Massachusetts believe that Mr.. Cox is
one Of Mr.. Taft's most cherished lieuten
ants. and that the President is leaning
upon him for valuable support at home.
But. injurious as the Cox influence has
been on Ohio affairs, it has some good
things to its credit. Let conspicuous
instance be stated. The representative in
the House from the frs; Ohio district Is
Nicholas Longworth; and very COM
petent and worthy man he is. He is to
be credited with the best tariff speech
made on the republican side at this ses-
sion. On that subject lie is a fOeman
worthy of Mr.. Underwoods steel, and on
all subjects of legislation he shows alert
ness and qualifications.
Now, Mr.. Longworth in his races for
Congress has always enjoyed Mr.. Cox's
support. and has accepted it openly. In
fact. did he not on one occasion when
Mr.. Roosevelt was his guest in Cincin-
natl bring Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Cox
together? True at the tine. Mr.. Roose-
velc was under the censure of his oppo-
nents as being something of boss him
self And so two bosses met and con-
ferred, as tits their nature to.
Rut Of course this naSSiOn against
bosses now filing Mr.. Roosevelt's bosom
win pass. Give him the Chicago nomi-
nation. and you will see him confer with
Cox ct al. and gladly accept whatever
the men now on his blacklist--for cam
paign purposes only-may be able to do
for him in the vote-getting way. When
ever he needs him. he never looks
boss in the mouth.
