The Liberty Bell.

Opposition to the further use of the
Liberty Bell as an exhibit at expositions
or elsewhere has been expressed by pa
triotic societies in different parts of the
country, and has just been voiced
locally by the action of the District So
cietv of the Sons of the American Revo-
luton who have adopted a resolution
protesting against the sending of the
bell 10 San Francisco. Every time the
bell has been sent away from Philadel-
phia there has been serious risk OF its
destruction. Although handled as carefully
as possible there is always danger of an
accident, which would undoubtedly cause
the complete splitting of the bell along
the crack which has. despite all precau-
TONS been extending during recent years.
This mute relic OF the birth of American
independence is revered by all the people
of this country. and its loss would be
nationally deplored as a calamity. \

society now suggests. would serve excel

The Saturday Half Holiday.

If President Wilson desires to give the
department clerks Saturday half holidays
the year round. as intimated he has but
to enforce the statute already written on
the subject. Section 1889 of the Code Of
Laws for the District Of Columbia, as
amended. reads as follows:
THE following days in each year,
namely. the first day of January, COM
monty called New Years day. the 22d of
February. known as Washington's birth
day: the 4th of July. the Both day of
May commonly called Decoration day: the
first Monday in September. known as la
bor's holiday: the 18th day of December.
commonly called Christmas day: every Sat
urday after l. O'Clock noon, any day ap-
pointed or recommended by the President
of the United States as a day of public
fasting or Thanksgiving. and the day of
the inauguration of the President. in
every fourth year shall be holidays in
the District for allspurposes.
Originally this provision applied only
within the meaning Of this section,
with reference to the pay ability of nego-
liable instruments. but by amendment it
was changed to constitute the days named
legal holidays for all purposes" Thus.
according to law today every Saturday
from II O'Clock is a legal holiday in the
District of Columbia and there is need
only of observance of this statute to
carry into effect the desire which ii is un-
dcrstood the President feels to give the
government employees at least one half
day of rest additional every week.

Dismissal Without a Hearing.

Willis L. Moore summarily dismissed
from his position as chief OF the weather
bureau. declares that he has been treated
without the usual consideration given
to a person charged with offenses; that he
has had no opportunity to meet his ac-
cusers or to deny the accusations; that
he is the victim of a cabal comprising
the same influences that were eXerted
against Dr. Harvey ". Wiley as chief of
the bureau of chemistry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. 4 certain degree
of sympathy is due to Mr.. Moore on the
score of the peremptory character of the
proceedings against him. and without in
any way judging as to the merits of the
case it may be suggested that less sum-
mary mea sures would have compocted
more sqUarely with the principles which
are supposed to govern i'm weighing
charges against public officials. The dis
m.ssal of an officer of the government
upon charges involving his official ca
reer without hearing cannot be justified
on the score of the protection of the pub
lie interests. His suspension pending the
determine ton of the truth or falsity of
the charges is a practicable protection
against injury to the governments well
fare. and in point of fact usually the mere
filing of charges and institution of an in
quiry render the accused official in
capable OF harming the administration. if
he should be SO inclined Instant dis
mssal without notification is necessarily
accepted by the public as index of
the gravest offense and raises pre-
sumption of obvious guilt against the
accused official If the case is so plain
as to warrant this punishment it is
suredly strong enough to permit an in
vestigation and disclosure on the demand
of the accused of the evidence on which
an unfavora BILE verdict is based In the
present case it is now too late to grant
the dismissed official the hearing and
conformation of witnesses that he says
he has been denied. and to which he
seems clearly entitled Until some spe-
cific serious accusation against him and
the evidence sustaining it are disclosed.
not merely MIR. Moores friends. but the
general public, will believe that he has
been unfairly treated.

and group of German commercial traN-
elers showed their disapprobatton py
kissing, whereupon they were elected.
Now the government at Berlin has taken
up the matter and the German ambas-
sador at Paris has been instructed to ask
France for an explanation. The news
papers are printing significant comments
intimating that the time has come to de-
mand that France give assurances that
foreigners will be properly treated with
in its boundaries. In ordinary circum-
stances this might be accepted as an ugly
token of growing hostility. But it is to
oe remembered that the German govern
ment is just nov trying to get the ap-
proval by the rsichstag of measures for
increased taxation for the purpose of en-
larging the military establishment,
against which there is considerable popu-
lar feeling. This may be the old device
of changing the SHE'D in order to stimu-
late the military spirit of the people. 1t
will be remembered that at the time the
bills were introduced the imperial chan
cellor in surveying the International sit

The latest outbreak of bad feeling be-
tween Franee and Germany should not
be taken too seriously as a possible por
tent of the long-delayed conflict between
those powers. The affair itself is of tri-
fling consequence and would not be worthy
of consideration, but for the spirit of re-

Mr.. Wilson's Leadership.

In the caucus discussion of the tariff
bill yesterday Mr. Underwood denied
charges of dictat.on by the President. lie
upheld the Presidents right TO suggest
at this time, and declared it had not been
unduly exercised. Only as to sugar and
wool had he shown great interest
In all probability this matter will come
up after the tariff bill energies from eau
Gus 1t has been referred to more than
once behind closed doors. and with some
heat Mr.. Wilson. so report says. mas
been as warmly defended as attacked
In a way, the subject is new. Not that
Mr. Wilson is the first President to con-
Germ himself with tariff revision in the
shaping But he is probably the first TO
make so much of it. and stake so much
on the issue. He is preparing to stand or
fall by what is now in progress
As feature of the contest is Mr. WI
sons idea of party leadership, which goes
beyond that of some other party men. He
manifested it while Governor of New
Jersey. He not only recommended meas
ures to the leeis allure in formal manner,
but pressed them informally. He read
his commission making him In large
measure responsible for results, and he
having rejected two of his recommends
tions. he is going back as President TO
renew them in public addresses to the
people.
So here AS President Mr. Wilson feels
himself responsible for the platform on
which he was elected, and for results in
congressional action. He is the leader of
the democratic party. and as such must
exert himself in behalf of what he con-
siders democratic doctrine. He puts the
tariff first, and is testing his power on
that question. Wool and sugar are lead
ing items in the Underwood bill, and he
them to take form according to his no.
tons: and, so far. his wishes have pre-
vailed. 1t looks today as if the House
would adopt the sugar schedule and the
wool schedule in the forms suggested by
Mr.. Wilson What the Senate will do is
another matter
We have had but sparing accounts of
the caucus discussions. Just how far the
opponents of the President have gone III
their criticisms of his course and views
IS known only through leaks and they
are subject to discount. Maybe when
the doors are opened and the bill is pre-
scented in the House the country will be
able to get a line on the situation and
the way of entertainment and that of
legislation. Mr.. Wilson seems to have
stout champion in Mr. Underwood. and
the chairman of ways and means has a
strong hold on his party in the House.
