The Need of a Convention Hall.

When the American Association for
the Advancement of Science met in
Washington last week il found here
the IDEAL surroundings for a meeting
Of that sort. with practically no &C
ing of the various sections comPrisin;
that organization There were some
thirty-two different societies and as
citations enrolled under the General
title. each of these requiring a meeting
lace. ON Tuesday the meetings were
h"Li in no less than nineteen different
tu1dings. scattered all over Washing
jpl- from -. Elizabeth's TO the Bureau
"f standards. The following partial
ljst of the halls, hotels and buiIdingy
thin which these assemblages &C.
,urred Will indicate the serious handi-
zap under which the association was
Housed at the National Capital: The
New Willard. the Technical High
school. the National Museum, the
Business High School, the Raleigh
Hotel, the Bureau of Standards, the
Georgetown University Law School
the Ebbitt House. the Masonic Tenn
Z pie. the Cook School, the George
Washington Medical School, st. Eliza
beths and the Hotel Gordon.
This is one of the best illustrations
that has been afforded for some time OF
the urgent necessity Of the provision
of a convention hall here at the capital
to accommodate organisations Of q ma.
tional character which follow the nat
ural law, and select the seat OF govern

The Police at the White House.

The changes just ordered in the
police assignments whereby the detail
at the White House has been reduced
by nearly one-half are manifestly in
the interest Of public order and the
better adm nistration of the city. The
withdrawal of twenty-five men from
the Executive Mansion will in no de-
gree lessen the security of the es-
Enlistment or weaken the safeguards
that must necessarily be provided
there. IL the men who are withdrawn
are needed in the internal economy
of tho White House. as doorkeepers or
guides or guards. they should be replaced
by others. definitely employ for that
purpose. and not drawn from the police
force for duties alien to their service.
The twenty-five men who have been
serving thus at the Presidents house
have been really needed in the pre-
'elncts Of The city. There Is room for

Despite the warnings of emin

Despite the warnings of eminent
scientists who exchanged views i'm Wash
'rston, against a tendency to stray too
far into the paths of economic theory, to
the neglect of Investigations less fasci-
mating but more reliable in result. cur
rent events might easily invite the at
tention of psychology. The progressive
admirers of Theodore Roosevelt. having
-vainly struggled to interpret the elusive
mile which once augmented the mild
radiance of a summer at Oyster Bay, are
now compelled TO consider whether his
statement that he will not be IA presi-

The Tariff Board.

Considerable talk about the tariff board
is booked so to say. There are those
who believe in the board. Che President
is one. He pulled it through" at the
time of it's creation. He indorses the
work 1t has done. He wants provision
made for its continuance. He is going
to make a fight for an appropriation by
this Congress.
There are others who do not believe
in the board. Its work counts for little
with them. They will examine it, but
will not be governed by it. If any part
agrees with their views formed from in
formation collected by themselves. we'll
and good. Otherwise, the board, so far
as they are concerned, will go by the
board.
Chairman Underwood is Of, and leads.
this number. He has statistfcians Of his
own busy with the tariff schedules, and
announces that he will stand by his own
men. What they report to him will have
the call with him over what the board
reports through the President.
Gov. Wilson, who favors a tariff for
revenue only. does not condemn the
board. but is of opinfco that it possesses
too little authority. At prese$t it can only
ask for information. He thinks it should
have power to command 1t. NO one -
he says. need supply it with facts who
does not wish to"
True. but should the boards power be
broadened? If it were. as Gov. Wilson
suggests, the effect would be to put Amer
lean manufacturers at a disadvantage as
compared with their foreign rivals. BY
such means all American secrets could
be barred. but no foreign secrets. Con-
gress could not command a foreign manu-
facturer to answer any of the board 8
questions about raw materials, or fin
ished products, or wage scales. He could
then. as now, politely beg to be excused,
or snap his fingers in the boards face.
AS at present empowered, the board
has good uses, and it should be contin-
ued large amount of valuable in
formation is open to it both in this cOun-
try and abroad. And everything bear
ing on costs of production, and methods
and amounts. should be in the hands of
Congress when tariff revision is on the
cards. Business is business. and what
ever explains trade when the interests
of trade are involved is worthy of re-
spectfuI consideration by those desig-
mated by the Constitution to lay taxes
for support OF the government.
But no board, whether with or without
the authority to administer oaths and
punish for contempt, will ever be able
to do more than collect and arrange trade
information. That far can it so, and no
farther Congress is not able, and will
never be disposed, to shift any portion
of it's burden as respects taxation. All
statistics, gathered by tariff boards, or
eynerts without official commission will
have to pass under the strong glasses OF
our national Legislators, for acceptance or
rejection at their pleasure.

ment as the best place for their an
nual gatherings For number OF
years a project has been pressed for
the construction Of a building that
would accommodate a convention OF
this character. a large central body
with numerous contributory and afili-
ated societies or branches. Practically
every large organization that meets
here requires considerable space be-
yond the main assembly hall. Most of
them work in sections and all Of them
have committees that need separate
rooms. To meet the requirements: OF
the conventions which are held here in
numbers exceeding those entertained by
any other city in the United States
calls for building especially designed
and centrally located.
Such a. building is contemplated in
the scheme to create here an additional
memorial to George Washington. 1t is
proposed to secure by popular SUBJ
scription the money necessary to erect
the building and to obtain from Con-
gress the designation of site within
the city. Thus the memorial would be
the gift Of both the nation and the
people, and would be used by all classes
OF representatives. coming here in in
creasfng numbers to enjoy the advan-
tages Of a Washington meeting in
circumstances conducive to the best
results.
Apparently some such project has
the best prospect Of success. AS &.
commercial venture the erection Of
building large enough to house the
conventions that meet in Washington
would probably be a failure. or at best
barely self-sustaining. No shabby barn
will answer the requirements. 1t must
be an attractive building, well placed
and artistica1ly designed. commodious
and comfortable, with an assembly
hall seating several thousand and nu-
merous smaller halls and rooms in
short. unique building dictated in
plan by the experiences of Washington
in the housing of all sorts of associa-
tons and societies and institutions.
With such accommodations Wash
ington would have no rival in the con-
vention field. 1t would be chosen prob
ably twice where now it is selected once,
and its annual list Of national meet
ings would signify a close and con-
tinuOus communion between the peo-
pie of all states and all classes with
the National Capital.

not only all these men but several
times their number in the urban resi-
dental and suburban sections. where
1t is common experience to go for
many blocks without catching a
glimpse Of q man In uniform.
Washington Is an orderly city as a
rule. but 1t needs thorough, careful
policing nevertheless. Perhaps IL is
orderly because 1t Is well policed.
But there remain places where dangers
Turk in waiting for the pedestrian and
where trouble arises, and more police
men are necessary there, to exercise
their morally preventive influence by
their mere presence. The good effect
of the restoration Of the patrolling
force Of the twenty-five men who have
been for some time stationed within
the White Ho'- - will probably be
felt promptly.
