TIE Bow Scout Fund.

The organization of Boy Scouts in the
city of Washington needs money to carry
on it's work. and as means of rails ns
this fund tomorrow has been designated
as tag day and on that occasion the
citizens of Washington will be approach
ed for coins to help the enterprise through
the season. 1t is to be hoped that
through the efforts of the boys them
selves and the liberal response of the
people of Washington enough money will
be collected to insure the successful pros
ecution of the organizations plans.
The Boy Scout movement is doing a
wholesome work in the Incubation of a
spirit of discipline among the youngsters
and in training them along lines Of useful
endeavor. As moral influence this Or
ganization can become a potent factor
for the development of good citizenship.
The present policy of those who are
directing the work in Washington Is to
get quality rather than quantity, to enroll
boys who will reflect credit whenever
they are actively engaged rather than
merely TO swell the ranks to great size.
This is an excellent plan and is calculated
to appeal TO the sympathles Of the public.
The Boy Scouts of Washington did
good work on the Sd and 4th of March,
especially on the former day, when, in a
position of great difficulty. they rendered
valuable services. Now comes the first
opportunity the people of Washington
have had to express their appreciation,
and there should be no question OF a gen.
erous response to the appeal Saturday. SO
that the organization will be assured of
sufficient funds during the coming season
to carry on the various branches of the
work outlined.

the destruction of property and the men-
acing of life as a means of coercion.
Apart from the suffrage principle itself,
which has ceased to be the most ma
terial factor in this situation, the British
government is now being put to test OF
efficiency. This is not question OF
whether women should VOTE but OF
whether the laws as they stand should
be enforced. Mrs. Pankhurst in open
court fully acknowledged her RESPONSE
bility for an act of property destruction,
the burning of the summer home OF
Lloyd George as part of the militant
campaign. She was found guilty of con-
spiracy and sentenced to term of three
years at hard labor. The sentence was
not severe in the light of the gravity of
the crime Yet it is now denounced by
the militant suffrasists of England as
an outrage upon humanity, and imme-
diately threats are uttered OF a reign of
terror that will "stasger humanity
Al one time the militant movement in
England was regarded as the hysterical
outburst of few women. 1t has become
a big, serious problem and the world is
watching the British governments per-
formances with more than ordinary in
terest. If the present threats of the
militants are carried out England will
doubtless be the scene of many outrages,
many crimes. That this new spasm of
lawlessness will advance the cause of
woman suffrage is hardly to be be-
iieved. If England yields now it con-
fesses total incapacity to administer the
laws. \ social revolution will have been
started leading to unknown ends.
Apparently public sentiment in Eng
land is against this form of coercive
campaigning for even a worthy cause.
If there were today a preponderant SYM
pathy for the extension of votes to
women it would probably not support
the proposition that that end is to be
gained through lawessness, arson and
possibly murder.

The Senate and the Tariff.

The tariff plot thickens. and the scene
shifts to the Senate. What is the senate
going to do about il?
The protection that men vote lives alter
them: their low tariff records are often
inferred with their bones.
Mr.. German and his democratic as
sistants in the Senate cast other than
protection votes in the tariff On OF
twenty years ago. They supported many
of the low rates of duties provided for In
the Wilson bill as it mad passed the
House. To a degree. and about some
things. they were low tariff men. and
SO recorded themselves.
But about other things they differed
with their brethren of the House, and
showed the courage of their convictions.
Where they thought protection would
serve q good purpose they voted for it,
and where they were reminded of party
obligation they recognized and redeemed
it. They did everything in the open,
and gave a reason for everything they
did.
Mr. German was mob chairman of the
finance committee. but the leader OF the
Senate. His power came. not from COM
mittee ass.gnments-for they were modest
but from his knowledge of politics and
his skill in parliamentary procedure. He
was the best equipped man on his side In
the Senate for cutting out and conduct
ing his partys business.
But today one might suppose from
current comment and warnings that Mi.
German and his friends rejected the VIII
son bill in toto when it reached the
Senate. and put through that body bill
of their own drafting shotted to the lips
with protector duties.
The senators who conferred with the
President last n-gnt were Mr.. Simmons,
Nh Hoke Smith and MIR. Stone. North
Carolina wants a duty on lumber. ami
four years ago. in defiance of the Denver
platform Mr.. Simmons voted for duty.
Georgia has always been a conservative
state on the tariff question. and in the
speakership race in the F.fty-second
Congress. Judge Crisp. Georgian. with
reputed protection leanings. defeated
Roger @. Mills, confessed free trader.
Missouri is for low tariff, but wants
protection on things she herself produces.
She belongs to the Hancock school, and
makes of the tariff local question.
Upon these three men depends largely
the Senate's tariff attitude. What will
they advise? II Mr.. Simmons asks. and
himself votes. for duty on lumber. will
be not allow local claims elsewhere? Has
tariff sentiment in Georgia changed since
the days of Judge Crisp? Did the infiu-
ence of Senator Joe Brown die with
him? And if Missouri gets protection for
her products. as she heretofore has done
will she not show sympathy for her sister
states? Although neither the situation
nor the leadership in the Senate parallels
that of twenty years ago. the Senate will
still be worth observation these coming
three months.

The Progressives and Congress.

The so-called progressiyes in Congress
announce purpose to take the sentiment
of that body on questions they hold near
est to heart. They will introduce meas
ures bearing upon them. and ask consid
Grafton in committees and on the floor
That is right. That is the way to do
business. We all want to know where
the progressives stand and they have
right to know where Congress and the
country stand on matters which have in
duced men to terminate old party affiiia-
tons and establish a party of their own.
Last year discussion turned largely
upon the progressive candidate. rather
than upon the progressive platform.
There was platform, but the can
didate overshadowed 1t. A dozen words
were spoken about him to one about
the issues he was supposed to be
representing. In TACT, the candidate was
the platform. The appeal was in his be-
half, and the promise was that IL elected
he would right all wrongs, and strengthen
all rights.
The appeal failed. and now there is no.
tce that another will be made. The pro-.
stay and wants attention for the reforms
be stated. and undoubtedly they will re-
eeive their share of attention.
But If the democrats and the republic
cans are to pass on progressive PROPOSE
tons. so also must the progressives pass
on their propositions. For instance. the
progressives must vote on the details of
the Underwood tariff bill, and on such
amendments as the republicans may offer
to it. Then they must vote for or against
the completed bill on the final roll call.
This much for the extra session.
At the regular session. which will be-
gin in December. the democratic pro-
gram as to trusts. currency; conservation.
the Philippines. economy in appropria-
tons and other things will be disclosed
and republican amendments to measures
covering those issues will be offered.
Toward which side will the progressives
lean? Or, il to neither, what will be their
own attitude?
1t is plain enough that the progressives
cannot confine their congressional ac-
tivities to a few measures to which they
have set their hands and affixed their
seas. They must participate in the gen.
eral business of C0ngress-make record
as they go along, and, after it is made,
answer for it in next years campaigns.
And on that record, quite az much as on
their pet measures, will Judgment be
formed as to their future prospects in the
national equation. If they are determined
not to be democratic flesh, or again re-
publican fowl, they must make it possible
TO appraise their value as rel herring.

We are still further reminded of the

That means an immense amount of con-
