The Rock Greek Dumping.

1t is, Of course, to the interest of the
government to stop, IL it can. the further
dumping OF refuse and dirt into Rock
creek valley between the Zoo Park and
the river. which Congress has just de-
clared pre-empted for public park pur-
poses Every load that Is dumped over
the edge will later have to be dug out
again. Many thousands of yards of stuff
that has been put in there heretofore will
have to be removed if the park is to be
developed properly. The man who now
holds from a property owner the dump
ing privilege at point in the valley not
subject to the jurisdiction of the Com
has offered to relinguish fu-
ture profits II his lease IS taken of his
hands and II the government reimburses
him for outstanding tickets. OF course,
the commission in charge of the acquisi-
ton of the park lands, having no funds,
more than pledge its good faith in the
premises. depending upon Congress to
recognize this charge later. Yet 1t Is rea-
sonably certain that Congress will recog-
nize the good business of preventing the
further filling of the valley now. and il
is to be hoped that an arrangement can
be made that will check the dumping at
once Some time may elapse before the
appropriations are available for the ac-
tual taking over of this land, and 1t would
be wasteful to permit the continued use
OF the slopes of the prospective park for
this purpose.

The Flood Fund.

The Star is highly gratified at the re-
Spouse made by the people OF Washine-
ton to its appeal in behalf of the HOOD
sufferers of the Ohio va ley. for whom
the American Red Cross asked Tor as
s;stance. Nearly $1,000 has come from
all sources in the District of Columbia
through The Star and contributions are
continuing to be received with the result
OF Keeping up the Districts end in this
goat charity in a manner to cause
feeling OF pride i'm the charitable spirit
of the community. Particularly crafty
ing was the promptness with which the
first call for help met with results. In
a few hours the money was pouring in
through The Star Office to the Red Cross
fund by thousands of dollars. and this
quickly given cash was Of the utmost
value in relieving distress and prevent
ing sickness and possibly death. As the
waters fell the reports from the stricken
regions showed less deadly devastation
than was at first announced, but the les
ser,jn: i'm the death oil did not cause any
slackcning of pubic interest in the sitda-
ton on the contrary. the people of
Washington, as elsewhere. recognized
that although not so many were dead as
had been originally reported. quite as
many people remained destitute and were
i'm urgent need of speedy relief. 1t can
always be assumed that whenever the oc-
cssjon demands the American people VIII

founded call for help. The American Red

sitv and OF insuring an honest and ef-
fectire dist. button of funds and goods

who had had no reason TO complain OF
Mr.. Cannon's Judgment about good men
for good places. Mr.. Clark was one, and
Mr.. Underwood another. Both owe some
thing Of their prominence in their party
work to Mr.. Cannon's favor: and the elec-
ton of the one to the speakership and
the choosing Of the other for floor lead
err signalized triumph of "Cannonism. +"
Mr.. Cannon had found them first, and.
by giving them chance under re-
publican regime. set them in the way of
honors from their own side now that
democratic control of the House had been
voted.
1t is much to be doubted if the new
plan of forming House committees is an
improvement on the old. Had the power
of selection been left to Mr. Clark he
would have exercised it we'll His long
service in the body had given him an
insight into the capacity of many of the
members. and his responsibility to his
party, not to mention the opportunity to
strengthen himself in the national esti-
nation. would have made him careful of
his steps. The committees organized by
him would probably have reflected credit
on his Judgment, and answered excellent
ends.
Why not drop the bugaboo of Can
nonism'? 1t is broad daylight now. and
everybody can see the matter in it's real
meaning and proportions. AS used. it
was a trick overplayed. 1t got out of
hand. 1t originated with a few repub-
licans. and then as shrewd politics was
taken up by the democrats and made
much of. But the play is played out
"Cannonsm' is old lumber today, and
Mr.. Cannon. although victim of the
spook, one of the most honored men in
the country.

The House Committees.

There is 10 reason TO believe that the
leader of the republicans in the House
will abuse tho power conferred on him In
the matter of committee assignments
He is too good a politician to proceed on
any other than intelligent lines. 1t
would be folly for him 10 recommend
square pegs for round holes. He needs
and il possible must secure. TT in every
case. The idea that. for personal rea-
sors he viii mark capable men down
and incapable men up is out of the
question: That would be both foolish
and Il losing game.
When the democrats organized the
Sixty-second House they were obliged 10
take the power Of organizing the COM
mittocs away from the Speaker. They
had won control partly on the allegation
tina, Tire power had been abused by Mr..
cannon. They had rung all the changes
on what was. called "Cannonism." and

Departmental Hours.

The new administration will prob
ably be very greatly disappointed
I'm the results if the order now con-
templated is issued to assemble the
departmental working force at
o'clock in the morning instead of 3,
and to hold the clerks at their desks
until 4:30. the present hour of dis
missal. 1t has been estimated that
this change will effect an economy
of 100000 year in terms OF ad-
dtional labor performed by the same
number of people. In point of fact II
this order is issued. which it is greatly
to be hoped will not be the case. the
result will be little if any economy in
administration. but on the contrary
generally lessened efficiency on the
part of the government workers.
No material gain was made in the
matter of increased output of work
when several years ago the depart
mental closing hour was changed from
4 o'clock to 4:30. 1t is to be doubted If
any appreciable result was felt in the
departments from the addition of half
an hour to the working schedule. On
the contrary the clerks were made to
feel that they were being treated with
less consideration, and 1t was in
evitable that they should adjust their
PAGES To the heightened day. Human
beings are not like machines. They
cannot be ''speeded effectively beyond
a certain rate of performance for any
prolonged period without losing in
accuracy or efficiency, and II the gov
eminent working hours are still fur
Their heightened by setting the opening
at o'clock the result will either b.
the quick wearing out of many OF the
individual parts of this big machine or
"a slackening of performance all along
the line.
Commercial establishments Iengthen
working hours for one or two rea-
sons because of exceptional rushes OF
business or the coming Of hard times
and slack revenues The government
is subject to neither Of these influences
today 1t has no such rush OF bust
ness that it cannot meet ii by the
usual expedient of increasing the num-
Der of workers. 1t is surely not so
nearly bankrupt that it must put the
screws on it's clerks to make them
work like unskilled laborers on con-
struction enterprises. Indeed. the
tendency throughout the trades is to
shorten the hours Of labor. and the
government would by this proposed
change stand in a class by itself IN
causing it's departmental assistants TO
contribute an additional hour a day
for no extra compensation. The present
scale of pay in the government depart
ments is Inadequate. 1t was established
many wears ago. and has remained I'M
changed while in all other lines OF en-
ployment the rates OF compensation nave
risen 1t is hardly conceivable that the
United States viii both refuse to increase
the pay scale to meet the increasing cost
of living and exact longer hours OF serv-
ice from it's workers.

Mr.. Wilson in Fighting Form.

Two very interesting reports are in cir
culation about Mr. Wilson and his tar
If attitude
The first is that if Congress changes in
any material degree the measure he has
helped prepare and just Endorsed he will
veto the result in terms that will stir the
country. Advised by the fate of Mr..
Cleveland. who permitted himself to be
outmaneuvered and backed into corner.
so that he lacked the courage to kill the
tariff bill he had denounced as represent
ing ''perfidy and dishonor.'' and by the
fate of Mr.. Taft. who signed a bill of
which he did not entirely approve. Mr..
Wilson. it is stated, will bring to naught
the tariff labors of Congress il they are
not strictly in accord with his notion. and
reserve the issue for next years cam
paign.
But more interesting still is the story.
emanating from another source, that Mr..
Wilson will not wait SO long before show
ing his hand According to this story, he
will keep the closest tab on the Senate
whose orthodoxy he questions-and if his
conferences with individual senator's and
the persuasive power Of patronage fail to
work his will in that body. he will APP
peal to the country before the final vote
is taken, and ask that public sentiment,
expressed at public meetings and other
wise. force Congress at this session to
adopt the Wilson program.
Credence is given this latter story by
the fact that Mr.. Wilson is 70 take the
stump in New Jersey soon for local meas
ures which the legislature rejected at its
recent session. He considers the democ
racy of the state committed to them, and
he will use the full influence If his ma
tional Office toward forcing his party at
home to redeem it's local pledges
Why then, it is asked, should not Mr.
Wilson, if there is balk here on the tar
if. take the stump in behalf of the ma
tional democracy's pledges as to that
question? Would not the sauce for the
Jersey goose be the proper sauce for the
gander?
Mr.. Wilson is an effective public speak
err, and enjoys stamping. His itinerary
in this case could not very well be laid
out in advance. Probably, however, he
would not go to Louisiana for assistance
against the sugar senators, nor to the
western states for assistance against the
wool senators. nor to California or Flor
ida for assistance in forcing down the
duties on citrous fruits.
The better plan would be for him to ad-
dress a mass meeting in New York, and
another in Chicago or st. Louis. and thus
by occupying what might be called a
national stump claim the attention IF the
nation as audience. Mr.. Wilson by de-
flying his enemies in Congress in this way
would fix attention on them and on him
self in measure beyond any other means
he could employ.

Battling With the Fly.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
AS the warm weather moves up the
coast the cities of the south are resuming
their battle with the fly. The campaign
should be energetically in progress every
where by the time the hot days are at
hand. There is no sense to wait until the
Fourth of July, or later. before what is to
be done is all carefully arranged and
ready for the foe. The southern cities
have assumed that they must make their
telling blows effective in every way this
year. In some cases they are demanding
not only the removal Of all out-of-door
causes Of the evil pest. but the screening
of buildings entire. This is based on the
theory that as it is not yet possible for
health officials to invade every indoor
place where carelessness permits the
of flies. every effort must be
made to confine the breeding places so
that those who occupy them shall in
measure learn the extent of their folly
In some cities there is talk of ordinances
to require the use OF screens. The battle
cry for 1913 is not Swat the fly" but
"Starve the hy.'
