Washington Symphony Orchestra.

The Washington Symphony Orchestra
is one of the useful and cultural organi-
cations of the National Capital. In its
career there has been a great deal of dis
tinction and many tribulations, but in
the latter respect it is not unique among
musical organizations. Since the foun-
daton of this orchestra in 1901 it has
presented to the Washington public nu-
mereus concerts of a character in keep
ing with the high ideals Of the promot-
ers, patrons, players and conductor whose
joint efforts have made this orchestra
possible. The Washington orchestra has
had prosperous years and lean years-the
latter unfortunately for it and the Wash
ington public, being rather too numerous.
1t seems not to be in the nature of things
that symphony orchestras should be
profitable in the sense of making money.
The orchestras that have carried the
musical fame of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago to all corners
of musical America have not been money
makers. They are enabled to subsist.
to carry out their mission and to deliver
their musical message only by the liberal
patronage Of the general public and by
the special and generous patronage of
that more restricted public shich feels
the utility of lending practical aid to
the advancement of art. Symphony or
chestras do not live and maintain them
selves without guarantee or endowment.
These being the conditions under which
such useful institution must subsist, it
is reasonable that Washington, with it's
great sum of culture, education and
wealth. should not lag behind. Even
Minneapolis. st. Paul. Cincinnati, st.
Louis, San Francisco and Dallas, Tex
maintain an orchestra, and find it's en-
couragement worth the price.
The music lovers and other public-spir
tied citizens of the capital should not
permit the Washington Symphony to
languish to exist in a precarious way,
supported by few art patrons. The
work of maintenance should be much
more widely distributed than it is The
Washington Symphony is deserving Of
praise and support. 1t has it's part to
play in the development of musical Gull
ture in the new world.

Nirvana.

Jes' sittin still fur q minute or two,
Lettin' the world buzz away,
AS you welcome the shadows that gather
anew,
And wait fur the close of the day;
Watchin' the fire as 1t fiickers an CLOVIS,
Hearin' the winds sullen call,
An not carin' much bout how anything
Jes' sittin' still an that's all.
Lettin' yer mind drift along with the
blaze
To follow the sparks as they fly
Out with the moonlight that fitfully
strays
Through the clouds that are crOssin'
the sky;
Out through the year that is hurryin'
To where memories sorrow and smile;
The toll is repaid by the pleasure at last
OF jes' sittin still fur a while.

wide fame. and subsequently the estab-
lishment OF a prosperous weekly publi-
cation. Today he is known all over the
world, enjoys an income of generous size,
supports three home one In Nebraska,
one in Florida, and one in Texas. and
Thoroughly deserves his good fortune.
Every dollar has come legitimately, and
by the honest exercise of unusual talents.
A long period of sunshine has enabled
Mr.. Bryan to harvest a large crop of hay

mocracy, now that the party is coming
into full power, who could render more
I'm Office than Mr.. Bryan? He has shown
the way to success. 1t Is Organism
that has conquered. Mr.. Wilson himself
has confessed as much, and the platform
which is to inspire action. legislative and
otherwise, was almost wholly constructed
by Mr.. Bryan.
This supports the proposition that Mr..
Bryan should be Mr.. Wilson's premier.
He is more familiar than Mr.. Wilson
himself with what has been promised the
country in the name of the democracy.
While Mr.. Wilson and many other demo-
Gratis were cropping and protesting and
pulling back, Mr.. Bryan was pushing on
I'm the course he had laid. and resisting
all efforts to balk him or turn him aside.
At last he brought the kickers and the
stragglers into line, and fortune favor
ing by the division of the opposition. he
came out Of the long struggle victorious.
AS matter of fact. Mr.. Bryan won
more in November than Mr.. Wilson. He
saw not only the man of his choice elect
ed President, but platform Of principles
adopted representing much for which he
had for years been contending. He had
fought hard, been often repulsed and Sc
verely censured by powerful faction of
his party, but at last. here he was vim
dictated at the polls and praised in public
by the titular head of the democracy as
the wisest and most steadfast member of
the organization.
The Secretaryship of State would add
little to Mr. Bryans fame and nothing
at all to his fortune, but his acceptance
of the post would secure for the Wilson
administration the ablest and most con-
sistent exponent of Organism in the
country

Mr.. Bryan Speaks.

Mr.. Bryan has broken his silence on
the subject OF the mention Of his name In
connection with the Wilson cabinet. He
says In the Commoner:
Mr.. Bryan has been abundantly re-
warded for all he has done. If he ever
holds any Office. II ought to be given
with the view to the service that can be
rendered, not with the idea OF rewarding
him for anything he has done"
True. to the letter. No man in our his
tory has ever had a more abundant re-
ward for his political activity. At the
time Mr.. Eryan became the leader Of the
democratic party his reputation, while at

Mr.. Underwood's Task.

The tariff hearings in progress before
the ways and means committee are re-
peating an old story. Business believes in
protection. 1t has protited by the policy,
and wants il continued, Now 1t is a re-
publican in business who speaks, and now
democrat. The plea from both is about
the same. Congress is besouSht not to
lower the bars in any quarter where for
eign competition would injure domestic
interests.
This plea has been heard many times,
and has never been without effect on
Congress. Twenty-Five years ago. when
Mr. Mills of Texas, democrat pre-
sided over ways and means. the tariff re-
vision proposed took account of protec-
ton. Two years later, Mr.. Mckinley, a
republican. prepared and passed a tariff
bill frankly protective. Four years later
than that, Mr.. Wilson, a democrat, pre-
pared and passed tariff bill carrying
protection in many schedules And three
years after that came the Dingley bill,
which holds the record for success las a
law, and which was protective up to the
hilt.
Protection, then, whether the tariff re-
visers were democrats or republicans, has
always been recognized. And it will be
recognized again Mr.. Underwood could
not if he would. and would not If he
could, pass through the next House a tar
if bill framed strictly upon the conten-
lions of those who talk f1uently about a
tariff for revenue only. Such measure,
if enacted into law, would close mills and
mines in every direction, and fill city
streets and country roads with idle men.
The country would be lowered to a soup
house basis almost Immediately.
Mr. Underwood's task-and his party in
next years congressional elections will
be judged by the way he has executed it
is TO lower duties SO as not to cut the
ground from under any deserving Ameri-
can industry. He is reasonably certain
not to proceed upon the proposition that
protection is unconstitutional and can be
and should be dispensed with at once.
There are democrats out of Office and
without responsibility who hold forth in
that strain between campaigns, but even
they, when the pinch comes, modify their
demands. Observe how small they are
singing now. Observe shortly how little
they will complain when Mr.. Underwood
program is revealed.
There always has been, there is now
there always will be- a good deal of hug
germugger about tariff revision. Be-
tween the irresponsible stump speaker
earning his campaign stipend. and the re-
sponsible legislator alive to his obliga-
tons and informed as to the facts, is a
great difference. and Mr. Underwood is
on the eve of measuring 1t. Watch him
apply the tape line.

The Public Utilities Bill.

The bill for the creation, for the benefit
OF the people of the District of Columbia
and for the benefit of the corporations
operating here, of a public utilities COM
mission hangs fire in Congress because
of differences of opinion between the
Senate and the House upon certain de-
tails not vital to the main purpose of
the measure. The conference agreement
Of the Senate and House on the loan
shark bill furnishes an excellent prece-
dent for those national legislators favor
ing a commission for the supervision of
public utilities in the District and en-
coUrages the hope of citizens that Con-
gress viii not much longer delay the en-
actment of this important and merito-
rious measure merely because sundry de-
tails acceptable in one wing of the Capt.
toll are not acceptable in the other. Dis
agreement of this kind plays into the
hands of those opposed to the public SUI
pervision of utilities proposed in this
bill.
Each branch OF Congress favors the
creation of a public utilities commission.
The time for argument of the main ques-
ton as to whether there should or should
not be a commission has passed. The adj
vocates of the commission are in the as
tendency. A few matters of minor i'm

discussion. separate the two chambers.

manship should certainly devise a plan
for harmonizing these differences Of
opinion. There is no doubt in the minds
of citizens that such compromise will
ultimately be reached, but every day of
delay postpones the good results which 1t
is believed will flow from writing into
the statutes the public utilities bill.
