Washington's Magnificent Destiny.

AS the government of the United
States grows. SO. too, grows the capital
OF the United States. One of the little
facts supporting this assertion Is found in
the recent news statement that nearly 800
men from all over the country will by the
end of January have taken up their du-
ties in the pension building. this increase
being due to a consolidation of eighteen
pension agencies scattered over the coun-
try through which the pension fund was
formerly distributed.
The working staff OF the government Is
constantly growing larger as the bust
ness of the government expands. and
this augmentation OF force is perceptibly
felt in Washington. Nearly every new
government employee brought to Wash
ington means now or soon after a new
family. new home, new buyers Of real
estate, new buyers in the city stores and
markets, and new children in the public
schools AS the city grows IT. population
and prosperity, other strangers come here
for welcome and a dwelling, and so
Washington seems to grow not so much
IN arithmetical as In geometrical ratio.
Grand projects for the betterment Of
the capital have been put into execution
within recent years and many grand prof.
ects are on the way toward fulfllment.
The destiny OF Washington is magnifi-
cent.

Senate he was twice Governor of Georgia;

In the nature of things Mr.. Smith S
attitude toward Mr.. Bryan has undergone
change since his Cleveland days. He
supported him for President in 1900 and
1908. but neither time under compulsion.
He had come to accept Mr.. Bryan's lead
crship without protest: and in last years
contest he supported Mr. Wilson on a
platform drawn by Mr.. Bryan and inter-
preted on the stump as the expression
of Organism brought up to date.
But in this matter Mr.. Smith stands
with Mr. Wilson. who also was reluctant
about accepting Mr.. Bryan and his poll

longer But he. too. at last went over:

As is known, Mr.. Smith was a protege
of Mr.. Cleveland, who found him a young
lawyer of promise at tho Atlanta bar. and
made him Secretary of the Interior. The
selection proved fortunate for both men.
The former secured a very competent
man for an important department of the
government. and the latter an opportu-

Uses Of Adversely.

The things we call misfortunes may be
blessings in disguise.
The person who Is deaf and dumb will
seldom realize
The peril he escapes which for the wisest
seems to reach.
Because he is not tempted to get UP and
make a speech.
The man who has no wealth is not con-
demned to sad dismay
BY righteous critics when he tries to give
the stuff away.
The mans who's overworked will find
that his regrets are small
Compared to those Of one who hasn't any
job at all.
And even old Zeb Hiker, who got mixed
in with a saw
While cutting timber, says he is inclined
to say "Hurrah!'
Whenever he remembers that the one leg
he has got
Will never get a chance to undertake the
turkey trot.

Whispering Voices.

PITY the sorrows of two eminent men
Of the hour,
Here is one voice whispering in Mr..
Wilson'S ear: Don't invite Mr.. Bryan
to sit at the cabinet table. The man is a
tro,Ible-inaker. and will make trouble for
YOU. He is restless, visionary and am
bilious His objective is the White
House, and he will use any power YOU
NAV give him 10 further his own selfish
ends lie is incapable of team work,
and has dominating spirit. Better let
him pursue his course at distance. and
in his own way. Your task will be
heavy enough even with advisers wholly
IN sympathy with your aims and entirely
soiicitous as to your personal future. II
YOU make Mr.. Bryan your premier he
will prove sinker.'
Here is another voice whispering In
Mr.. Wilson's ear: Don't fail to invite
Mr.. BRYAN into your cabinet He is en-
titled to the recognition both on the
ground of his ability and on that OF your
obligations to him. You have pronounced
him the strongest and most steadfast
democrat of the era. and the country
knows how much influence he welded
at Baltimore in your behalf. II you pass
him over you will be accused Of both in
sincerity and ingratitude, and the accusa-
ton will injure YOU
Here ia another voice whispering In Mr..
Bryan's ear: III Mr.. Wilson invites you
into the cabinet don't accept. Keep foot
| loose. Although you are the author OF
his success, he may not In Office be dis
posed to meet your wishes. He Is listen
| ing to some anti-Bryan advice. and may

out official obligations to him you will be
at liberty to criticise him as you think
best. II you accept Office from him. both
your tongue and pen will be fettered."
Here Is another voice whispering in Mr..
Bryan's ear: IF MIR. Wilson invites YOU
into his cabinet don't fail to accept You
have converted him to your views and
elected him President, and 1t is your duty
both to yourself and to the party to see
him through. Let 1916 take care OF it
self. Any success he may achieve in the
White House will be aloIg the lines of
the policies he has accepted from you.
and the country will understand about 1t
all when the time comes to award the
credit. Keep in close touch with him and
all developments. and by going into the
ca binet you will he the better prepared 10
note all the Vaccinations of your
enemies"
Which voice will Mr. Wilson heed?
Which one Mr.. Bryan? The whisperers
are in earnest, and regard themselves as

Skinny and Craftsmanship.

After his interview with Senator'S
Smith and Gore yesterday. Mr.. Wilson
was asked about the reorganization OF
the Senate committees. and replied :
They make a point of not involving me
in the matter
OF course Mr. Wilson should not be
involved in the matter. The democratic
senators arc fully qualified and have the
power to settle their own affairs As
we'll might Mr.. Wilson invite them TO Sc
!cct his cabinet as for them TO ask him
To name the chairmen of the Senate
committees and otherwise fix the value
of experience in that body. Skinny on
Your own side is very fine rule to
observe. all the way from the playground
NJ school to the workaday ground of
government.
Necessarily, M Wilson is interested in
the business. He wants to get along
with the Senate. He must get along
with it If his administration is to be a
success His nominations will be SUBJ
mittcd To it. and any treaties he may ne
.otiate. NOT TO mention recommendations
for legislation.
But an outsider is never wise in mixing
in d family row. Oftener than not. when
an outsider so offends. he energies if he
lives to emerge at all. in seriously dis
figured form And although Mr.. Wilson
as President will have associations with
the senate, their limits will be prescrib-
cd In the way of the Senates more in
innate affairs he will be an outsider.
Gov. S}iZer took the right course at
Albany. He was asked to advise and to
use his influence in the organization of
the state legislature. He was told that
Tamnany was meditating mischief, with
him as the object. a word from him in
time would defeat the scheme. But he
refused to speak the word, taking the
ground that the matter was beyond the
range of his official authority, and be-
yond even that of personal propriety.
Tammany, unchecked, has organized
the legislature, and now the tussle, If
tussle there is to be, between that body
and the governor is in order. But the
people of the state will note its progress,
and decide between the contenders. Both
the governor and the legislature hold
commission from the people. and must
answer to them. They are expected to
work together. but according to rules
laid down. The governors duties and
those Of the legislature are prescribed.
and the hedge between is plain to the
naked eye.
1t Is likely that the democratic differ
ences in the Senate are exaggerated in
the telling. With so very narrow a mar
gin to draw upon 1t would be an mex
cusable blunder for either the oldsters
or the youngsters in that body to go on
the warpath against the other. The sit
uation does not call for paint and feath-
ers, but a comfortable squat in a circle.

The Trade of Arson.

The fire commissioner of New YORK
city is making a strong publicity cam
pagn against incendiarism which. he
says. is prevalent throughout the United
States. and which he also says is admit
ted by insurance authorities and fire
marshals in various states to he one of
the most vicious tendencies in this coun-
try. He maintains that one of the rea-
sons for the spread of arson is the laXity
of some fire insurance companies in
granting policies without due inspection
of property or knowledge Of the charac-
ter of persons applying for insurance
In recent report to the mayor of New
York he wrote that ''tlle crime of arson
is rampant in our city: that cit is re-
sponsible for one-fourth Of our fire
losses involving an annual destruction
of not less than 100000 worth of prop
erty''. that despite all efforts of consci-
entious public officials. the strenuous
activities of our fire marshals and the
detection and prosecution of numerous
incendaries, suspicious fres-particularly
among certain we'll defined trades-are
on the increase: and that without ex-
aggeration our city is face to face with
a grave public danger.
the murderous trade of firemaking ap-
pears to be one of the most lucrative
and least risky occupations pursued by
certain classes of our population. He
says that firemaking has become almost
fine art. and that SO carefully are most
Of these fires planned, SO ably are they
executed. so complete is the destruction
of all evidence of incendiarism that de-
extremely difficult.
One of the startling statements of the
fire commissioner is this:
I'm order to prove that no previous in
spection whatever is made by insurance
companies in the matter of issuing poll
cies the fire department. during the
course of this investigation into incen-
diarism in Greater New York. obtained
no less than $127.50O worth Of insurance
in the form of 1875 different fire insurance
policies on property worth exactly 1896
In issuing this large amount of insur
ance on this diminutive amount of prop
erty, consisting of few trifiins articles
of household furniture. the companies
made no effort whatever to ascertain the
character of the risk they assumed or
the nature and amount of property on
which they issued insurance.
In this remarkable report is presented
the statement that travelling between
Chicago. Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Paterson and other
cities are organized bands of firemakers
who undertake jobs in any of these
places
Such conditions plainly call for correc-
ton. In Great Britain and Germany
elaborate precautions are taken against
the overnsurance of property. Careful
inouirr ia made Of the applicant for in
surance. There is avoidance of what ap-
pear to be dangerous risks. There are
rigid building inspection laws involving
the matters of lighting and heating. and
the result is that there are in comparison
with American cities few fires in
European cities.
