Time to Sing and Swear.

From the land of the sleigh bell and
heavy fur comes reports that March is
acting like a lion, while from the land
where the ball players are i'll training
and the straw hat is in vogue dis
patches say that the heavens are con-
stantly weeping and the lamb is a
bedraggled, disconsolate being. Here in
Washington, which is neither North
nor South, March is acting like lady.
She is we'll known as capricious
dame. one that is worth wooing when
good-natured, but to be. Stunned when
in an angry mood. To-day Miss March
has on her best smile, one that has
coaxed the buds from their winters
sleep, and brought back the songsters
from the South. Tomorrow, alas,
she may frown and the beautiful may
be sent shivering away to seek refuge
until her smile again returns.
1t can we'll be called Washington the
beautiful, for at this time of the year
when nature is awakening the Capital
is without question the most beautiful
city in the world Its parks arc green,
its streets are clean. even the trees are
commencing to put on their spring
garb. The North can have its ice
races and its tobogganning. the South
its balmy breezcs and its steady rains.
Washington. is not jealous 1t is given
just taste of both, for the mistrcsses
OF the frozen north and the land first
kissed by the warmth of the sun vic
with each other in seeking foothold
in this chosen section. Gradually Old
Boreas has to retreat before the bril-
liant beauty from the South, but be-
tween times. while outwardly every
thing is aglow with happiness, there is
a canker worm that is gnawing at our
vitals and our heart is sad-house-
cleaning time is here.

REFERENDUM PLAN
Is NOT FAVORED
Scheme for Citizens to Vote on Com.
nissieners ls Considered
Indiscreet.
MANY OPPOSE THE PROPOSITION

Presidents of many Of the citizens as
sociations regard the suggestion made
by s. E. Snyder. president of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association, that
President Wilson be requested to submit
| names of candidates for positions as
District Commissioners to a referendum
of the civic organizations of Washing
ton before making his appointments with
disfavor. Prevailing opinion among the
heads OF the various citizens organiza-
tions seems to be that such request
| would be indiscreet.
d. A. Edwards, president of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations. voiced
the opinion that the custom OF various
associations to -indorse candidates favor
ed by them for appointment as Commits
sioners, copies of which Endorsements are
sent to the President. fulfilled the pur-
pose of bringing to the Presidents at
tention the choice of the citizens as
forcefully as would the proposed ref
erendum and fulfilled this function in
better taste. :
Mr.. Edwards said that as he had not
considered the innovation proposed by
Mr.. Snyder at Tuesday nights meeting
of the Randle Highlands Association. he
did not wish to condemn it. but that he
felt that the course of calling upon the
President to submit lists of possible
choices to a referendum would be de-
cidedly improper.
Among Others. who regarded the plan
as unfeasable. G. W. Evans, president
of the West End Citizens Association.
said: Il think at least it would be in
discreet for any association to advance
such request. The action OF an as
sociation calling upon the President for
opportunity TO exercise a referendum
upon his choices would easily lead to
delicate situations and would be open to
being regarded as impertinent. By a
vote of Endorsement. every association
has the opportunity of bringing its de-
sires in the matters OF appointment be-
fore the President"
Members of the Randle Highlands As
sociation were much divided on the sug-
Gestion of their president.

est women in the country do not dis

the reach Alter twenty weeks self-de-
nial on Saturday night of the humble
shopgirl The fact that future Lord
Mayor of London saved penny rather
than compromise his career by invest

to the Chicago shopeirl with nickel

The Shop Girls Extra Nickel.

The spare and superhuous nickel
conceded by one of the opulent Chi
cago merchants in the current white
slave investigation to represent a GER
tain class of shopgirls profit over and
above her weekly expenses promises to
so down into history with the coin
saved by an embryo Lord Mayor of
London through abstaining from the
purchase of a coveted orange
The accounts tclegraphed from the
Windy City do not explicitly state
whether this classic nickel belongs to
the old order of Scent pieces or to that
fresh from the United States mint, rep
rescnting on its shining surfaces the
contrasted effigies of an Indian and a
bison, but whichever it was the de-
nomination implies the same purchas-
ing powers. The question naturally
uppermost in the working girls mind
on salary day is, what will she do with
that nickel? Having kept body and soul
together throughout the long weeks
work and respite from toll, shall she
indulge in the orgy of one ice cream
soda or an admission to the movies"
on Saturday night, or, by exercising
heroic self-denial, salt it away" in or
der, at the end of year, to find the
sum of 500 to her credit in some
savings bank?
Only the girl herself can decide
which to choose-the primrose path. of
the extra nickel-a-week's indulgence or
the strait and narrow path that leads
to the receiving teller's window in the
penny account institution that protects
her and her class from future indi-
gence. By way of consolation to the
nickel-plated Chicago saleslady or

Committee Chairmanships.

Men may be accidentally elected to
the United States Senate. but they art
not reelected the second, third, and
fourth times unless their ability ant
fidelity are recognized by the people OF
their States.
In fact, long terms in the Senate are
the exception rather than the rule. Out
of the I,I52 Senators who have served
only twenty-six have been retained in
office eighteen years or longer. 1t is
this fact which is the foundation for
the rule of advancement by seniority
which has always obtained in the SEN
ate A new Senator must begin at the
bottom OF the ladder. and if his State
continues to honor him as its repre-
sentative in the Upper House, he
eventually rises to the topmost round
and is enabled 10 render both the
State and the nation higher degree of
service
The rule of seniority is so logical
and is SO plainly recognition of
merit and competency that it seems
strange now to hear it called in ques-
ton Take the case of Senator Till
man, for instance He is now entering
upon his fourth Senatorial term, and
during the years that have passed he
has rendered efficient service to his
State, the nation, and his party. He is
entitled to the craftsmanship of the
Committee on Appropriations, just as
other Senators are entitled to advance
mcnt because they arc the ranking
members of their several committees
In Senator Till1nan'S case, he has been
. for many years on important subcom-
fnittees, and is thus thoroughly familiar
with the details of the Federal budget
There is another reason why the rule
of seniority should be observed 1t
operates automatically and thus pre-
vents any jealouSies or misundcrstand-
ings. 1t has proven a good rule in the
past and the Democratic majority in
the Senate will simply lay the founda-
ton for trouble in the future if they
abandon it now, especially when there
is no reason except personal ambition
10 cause it to be disregarded.

Another Issue for the Extra Session

Since those who SO strenuouSly op-
posed the continuation of the Com
mercc Court succeeded i'll their effort:
at the last session of Congress &c
have the appropriation for this tribunal
carried only up to June 80 next, the
end of the fiscal year, no provision
was made for the ensuing twelve
months, though all other judicial ap-
preparations were carried.
This means that the coming extra
session will have to decide the ques-
ton whether we are to have the Com.
merce Court continued or not, as no
general supply bill can be passed until
next winter. What Congress can do is
to make a special appropriation for tic
year and either leave the court undis-
turbed or provide for change in its
personnel and jurisdiction.
A Senator is authority for the state
ment that the number of Judges may
be reduced from five to three. The
removal of Judge Archibald left one
seat vacant, and one other incumbent
could be sent back to his former cir
cult service. 1t is not known general
ly that all Federal judges are appoint
ed for the circui. bench. The FIVE for
the Commerce Court are assigned to
that tribunal for a definite term, but
at any time may be transferred to
districts where needed, if not fully en-
ployed on the commerce bench In
fact, how can a successor be named TO
fill Judge Archbalds place if appro-
priations are withheld for the pay
ment of salaries?
The change in jurisdiction spoken of
is more within reason. The United
States Supreme Court has decided that
the Commerce Court has no power to
review the action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in declining to
issue orders on behalf of complaining
shippers, even where questions of law
are involved.
There seems TO be sufficient cause
for reorganizing the Commerce Court
and for modifying its jurisdiction. But
TO our mind there is no justification
for its being abolished. Men appoint
cd to serve during good behavior" as
circuit judges cannot and should not
be thrown out of office in so arbitrary
a fashion. Besides, are the opposing
Congressman unaware of the great
benefit derived by Germany, England,
and France through the workings of
their Commerce Courts? Why not here
with our steadily expanding worlds
trade?

A Forlorn and Neglected Plaza.

The plaza around the Union Station
continues to present most forlorn
and neglected appearance.
The statue Of Columbus is thing
of beauty in waste of unprepossess-
ing vacancy. Perhaps in course of time
it will be adequately surrounded, but
years have come and years have gone
and still the plaza remains dreary
picture to the eye
When are the plans which propose
to charm every visitor who steps from
under the arch of the Union Station to
be put into realization?" The present
condition is a disgrace to the National
Capital.

President Wilson and Mr.. Underwood

ness. but they think no harm will follow
by inviting imports in every line of
business. That cannot be done without
reducing wages and throwing an army
of workmen out of employment"
Would tariff reduction reduce the cost
of living? Mr.. Mott was asked.
That alluring bait seems to have been
abandoned by Democrats. 1t was tried
under the Wilson law Supposmg prices
were reduced, and a workman did not
have the money to buy with. what ben

England there was an average advance
in prices last year according to the
London Economist of per cent. In
many things the advance was far
greater, but that was the average. and
there was a greater advance the previous
year, and SO with other nations.
Prices of many products. particularly
farm products, have declined in this
country of late. The advance in prices
has been worldwide. That is not true
