A SENSIBLE PROVISO.

Congressman Tavenner of Illinois has introduced
bill for referendum in the District of Columbia
on the question of the form of government desired
here He proposes to submit to the people, at gen.
eral election series of questions in order to find
out what they think.
Do we want municipal self-government and the
suffrage?
Do we want representation in Congress?
Do we favor property qualification for voting ?
Or an educational?
Do we want equal suffrage for men and women
The initiative and referendum?
Or the recall?
Would we favor an elective bipartisan commits
sion government like that of Des Moines?
The questions are interesting, though the list
might perhaps be expanded to advantage. 1t would
be we'll worth while for Congress and this town to
know what the people of Washington really want.
An incidental detail in the Tavenner bill seems
to offer the germ of solution for difficult ques
ton in Washington If the town had an elective gov
ernment, who would vote? Would the civil service
employees the big backbone of the community, want
to give up their voting privilege elsewhere in order
to enjoy it here? To eliminate them, as our neigh
Dor, the Washington Star, would do, from all par
ticpation in Washington affairs. would be an unqual-
flied misfortune; it would be catastrophe; it would
indeed insure the total failure of the governmental
experiment.
Mr. Tavenner inserts in his bill, therefore, the
proviso-
that Federal employe residing in the District and
no other actual resident shall be disqualified from vo
ing by of having voted in Of the States Of
the Union, by of claiming voting residence
there.
Some of the organizations which are urgSg suf-
frage for the District have suggested that same thing
that special arrangement be made by which persons
actually domiciled in Washington should be permitted
to vote here in local affairs without forfeiting their
right to vote at general elections in their respective
States. 1t seems to be meritorious proposal Ger
tainly should be retained in any referendum such
as Mr.. Tavenner proposes, and there is apparent
reason why, if the suffrage were to be granted here,
it should not continue under that order of things.

THE TURNING OF THE LEAF.

curious matter to observe is that while the
older poets, such Tennyson and Longellow, speak
sadly Of the coming of autumn-the melancholy
days. saddest of the year-and of the sorrow Of
looking upon the lonely fields, the later writer's find
in the season great deal of joy. There are many
persons, indeed apart from the poets but true lovers
of nature, who like no period so we'll as that of the
fall The turned leaf is more exquisite than the
one just taking on the delicate green of spring. A
stranger, wilder beauty is to be found in the red
and gold of its threads and veinings.
If to win the truest pleasure from nature we
must possess the art of seeing things properly and
to their very depths, there is probably much more
to be discerned in autumn than any other period
The enchantment of color is the most wonderful
bestowal for US to admire. September walk re-
veals little of it, but that is only the beginning
of the pageant. Merely the hints of what is yet
to be are there; but they most interesting to
note. The transformation by the great Magician
is in progress but it is subtle that we can scarcely
detect it. We see, indeed, what has happened since
last week, yesterday-curious alterations of
tree and plant-odd happenings of hue and form
but of the miracle that is passing directly under
eyes we are unconscious.
The chief pleasure in autumn for the nature
lover is undoubtedly in the pictures. Turn where
he may, there is gallery ready for his inspection
The skies are beautiful and ever varying-the sun
sets and more wonderful as the season deepens
Those of September have characteristic charm
which, however, is less than the scarlet green and
yellow lights of October. Color, in fact is the chief
ingredient in the draught of pleasure for him who
loves the beauty of the world-the joy that is al
ways within reach. At this season of the year, and
from now onward until the end of November for
the eye of sympathy and love there is an unceasing
forest of happiness, even in a simple walk

LIQUID AIR FOR A CHANGE.

There has been so very, very much purveyance
of hot air the subject of cost of living that it is
real satisfaction to note that French scientist
promises to give us liquid air-which comes pretty
near ultimate zero-for change.
He has been telling the International Refrigera-
tion Congress that the process will be perfected
so that cold may be piped into our houses just as
heat and gas and water and electricity are piped
in and sewage is piped out
Few developments would do more to reduce the
cost of subsistence, provided people would avail
themselves of it, But absolute zero, piped into a
house without any storage facilities, would be of
little use. II takes storage to put away win
ters supply of potatoes, onions, cabbages, and ap-
pies. Apartment houses on the pgeon-hole plan are
not built with thought of such arrangements.
Before such facility be of much use in
cities, there must be revolution in construction meth
DDS. The Department of Agriculture has been for
some time considering this problem Its big project
for betterment of marketing conditions and bring
ing producer and together at less cost in
cludes scheme in education of architects and build
ers, with view to have city homes and apartments
built with proper storage facilities Until this is
done talk about getting the city family to buy in
quantities and eliminate middlemans and delivery
COSTS will continue to be hot air.

DIR. SEN AN UNDESIRABLE"

1t is not pleasant to read that Dr. Sun Yat Sen
Chinese patriot, statesman, diplomat and leader OF
republican sentiment, was kept out of the United
States recently when he desired to enter from
Canada. DR.. Sen, if the report from Vancouver be
correct arrived there from Japan incognito For
travelling in that fashion he had most excellent rea
sons, his life being in danger if his identity were
known At the American border he attempted to
pass, but was turned back
Had he been free to identify himself, doubtless
he would have passed without difficulty. But it is
an uncomfortable consideration that such a man
must needs be treated at our borders as idiot
criminal might be, merely because his color is diff
ferent from ours
Suppose that DR.. Franklin had been denied ad
mittance to France because his French accent was
slightly different from that of the Parisians! The

THE BANANA AS A TYPE.

The meek and lowy banana which, next to
sugar is the greatest contribution the tropics make
to the worlds food supply, is, after ALL to keep on
coming in free. The Senate put duty on it, but
after long argument the conferees have decided to
remove il and let the fruit remain on the free list
What schedule K was TO the revision of 1909 this
banana duty has been to the revision Of 1913 There
has been more discussion of this item than of any
other, so far as popular interest was concerned
Free traders were delighted with the idea of putting
duty on bananas, because, according to free trade
tenets, that was ideal revenue duty There are
no bananas raised in this country; therefore, a
duty on bananas imported would have no effect on
any home industry. 1t would be under no conditions,
and in no part, protective duty. The free trade
ideaist would lay his duties in just that way Ba-
nanas, coffee, tea ETC., which do not produce at
all, would be seized upon'by him to get our revenue
President Wilson has been widely regarded a,
at least an academic free trader and was credited
with responsibility for, least with acquiescence
in, the banana tax If he originally felt that way he
has apparently changed his mind, for he is now
credited with using his influence have the confer
ence remove the duty.
There is more significance in this change than

Travellers of those days looked ruefuy upon

a day, American plan. And the name of almost every
obtanable delcacy was on the menu card, too. 1t
was hardship to have the price of shave increased
to 10 cents and street car fares from to cents.
But the daily wage of unskilled labor in New
York then averaged IS cents and of women in the
occupations open to them, from 10 to l8 cents The
economic balance was in process of adjustment
then as now, with strikes, investigations by Legsla
tive commissions and general unrest
After ALL the good old days brought their trou-
bles just as present days bring them and, in spite
of the countrys progress, they were much the same
