enactment, the net result Is not Of
character to disturb the District at this
time. Washington Is entirely willing to
submit to the accounting officers of the
Treasury and beyond them to the courts
If necessary the legality Of the payments
on this account on the half-and-half

third Of q century. 1t Is perhaps bet
ter to have this matter thus referred IN

In respect to the appropriations them
selves, which have been rendered of sub
ordinate interest this year on account OF
the various questions Of greater moment
involved In the drafting of the District
budget. the bill energies from Congress
in a fairly satisfactory shape. That is
to say. as satisfactory as it is possible
for any bill to be. framed in the circum-
stances that have obtained tn Congress
at this session. In some respects the
District suffers IN prospect through the
denial Of provisions for important works.
But. taken by and large. 1t Is a good av-
erage bill, and considered in conjunction
with the important achievements of a
more legislative character scored by it's
means. 1t Is to be hailed as a decidedly
satisfa Glory measure. Those who have
been instrumental in it's final enactment
In this form are to be thanked for their
services in the name of the District.

The American Way.

Now, If our good friends in Mexico. in
Cuba, and in Central and South America,
who praise our institutions and would
model their own more closely on them,
will turn their eyes this way for day or
two they will see something worthy of
their attention.
Our campaign last year was spirited.
not to say hot, to a degree. An old party.
long in power, and famous for its dis
cipline, divided in the face OF the enemy,
and brother turned against brother with
all the energy and fury that character
ize a family row. They fought to their
own destruction. and the other party
carried off the prize.
A minority won. Upon broad princi-
Piles, this is a government by majority.
But that minority is coming rightfully
into power. and the majority is submit
ting. not only willingly. but gracefully.
Large numbers Of republicans in office.
and most comfortably there. are prepar-
ing to give place to democrats Policies
long in operation. and some Of them OF
early origin. are to undergo revision on
new lines. While there Is anxiety, there
is no thought of resistance. and the
change of control will take place without
a ripple.
The foremost figures in the drama are
personal friends. Mr.. Taft esteems MT
Wilson highly, and his sentiments are
cordially reciprocated. The one Is laying
down a heavy burden. and the other Is
taking it up. The retiring man is hailing
the coming man with every evidence OF
good WILL and proffering all the assist
ance 1t is in his power to render.
To celebrate the occasion Washington is
en- fete. The town Is as pretty as pic
ture. It's inhabitants are in their best
spirits. The visitors. who are present by
the ten thousands, are happy. and all are
more than welcome. A great and inspir-
ing jubilee is in progress. and will cul-
inmate tomorrow in an imposing spec
tacle. Republicans and democrats pro-
gressives and socialists, prohibitionists
and men who wet their clay. will mingle
together as citizens of a country which
all alike love and wish to see prosper.
To employ a phrase Of the street this
is the way to do business. We appeal to
the ballot. and then abide by the decision
of the ballot. While contending. we do
our utmost to win. Under storm and
stress, we sometimes crowd the limit.
On one occasio1i-in 1S76-7-we rocked a
little under the pressure of disputed re-
turns. But a pronouncement made in
order commands unqualified obedience,
and governmental processes are not halt
ed for a single day. Whatever IS decreed
at the polls is accepted by the people,
and new servants supplant old servants
without either hitch or i'll will.

The District appropriation bill comes
from conference in season to become a
law and In a shape TO call for express
sions Of sincere qualification on the part
Of the local community. Al one time il
looked as though there would be no en-
actment AZ this session, owing TO the
complication caused by the addition OF
the excise amendment by the Senate.
But as a result OF persistent and patient
endeavors on the part of Representative
Burleson a compromise was effected on
this item which. while not granting per-
haps as much In the way of excise re-
form as it's advocates demanded, never
theless Yields a measure of regulation
superior TO present conditions. Partic-
a.arly fortunate Is II that the new law
separates the excise functions from the
board OF assessors and establishes a new
board, dealing exclusively with this sub
Jet
In another respect equally important.
this bill meets the requirements of the
District, carrying as IL does provision for
a public utilities commission that will
undoubtedly be of great benefit to the
people In securing better services from
the several corporations and more ef-
fectively holding them under restraint as
TO their financial organizations
ON the negative side the bill as il
stands is satisfactory. The Senate
elimination of the inequitable Borland
amendment is approved by the confer
euce and thus this mischievous attack
upon the half-and-haif principle Is resist

Woman's Appeal.

Woman suffrage day in Washington! If
those who have worked for weeks in
preparation Of the parade and pageant
and meetings in celebration OF recent suf-
frage victories, and in expression of the
demand for votes voiced by the women of
all the remaining states OF the Union
where the franchise has not yet been ex-
tended to them. desire a happy augury
they find 1t in the weather. 1t must be
encouraging to see the skies so clear at
this season, when tradition calls Tor
storm. Certainly the prospect for wom-
an suffrage in the United States Is at
present as bright as the day on which
this demonstration is held.
1t was undoubtedly an inspiration on
the part Of the leaders in this movement
to select this date for the great national
suffrage celebration. 1t focused atten-
ton upon the cause. and while the parade
itself In "A measure divides interest with
the greater inaugural event of tomorrow,
1t secures a larger audience than If 1t had
been held on another date. more thor
ouehly representative of all parts of the
country.
Woman suffrage is advancing rapidly in
this country Those who are leading the
movement are not only hopeful but con-
fident of success. both in all the states
and in the adoption of constitutional
amendment. Already state amendments
have been framed for submission to the
voters in several Of the commemorative
and 1t is the confident expectation that
after the elections in 1914 the nine states
that now grant full suffrage to women
will be increased to fifteen and possibly
to twenty.
1T is to the credit of the American wom-
en- that they have carried on this propa-
ganda without resort to the follies and
the mistaken methods employed in Eng
land. They have appealed to the reason
of the American men. and their arguments
have gained increasing force as they have
been able to point here and there to the
comparative failure Of unequal suffrage
as a means to the end OF good govern
ment. Whether votes for women will
solve the problems with which the coun-
try Is now confronted. social. moral,
economic problems of great moment. re-

on the strength of demonstrations in
western states that have the dual suf-
frage that the influence of the women
at the polls has been Enthusiastically for
good Certainly the enfranchised women
Of those states have in numerous in
stances led in crusades for moral reforms
that have wrought for the benefit of
humanity.
Today's pageant is an impressive SYM
bolism Of the part which women play in
civilization. They appear through their
representatives as workers and thinkers,
as co-laborers with men In practically
every field. as lawyers, physicians, art
lists. clerks, business managers, skilled
and unshlled helpers in every line of in
dustry and commerce. 1t is futile to
deny In the light Of todays impressive
demonstration the capacity Of American
women to carry on their share OF the
worlds work apart from the domestic
field hitherto allotted to them.

Question of the Hour.

He does not attend to the speaking;
He does not give ear to Tie song
He heeds not the patriot seeking
The grateful applause Of the throng.
But he plods through collections extensive

And murmurs, in tones apprehensive,
"Oh. what does the weather man say?"
He utters no word OF the tariff.
The currency. too. Is forgot.
There's nothing to show he would care II
We met our expenses or not
AS glorious nation assemblies
In glad but respectful display,
He sighs-and his voice slightly trembles,
