The South and Protection,

1t Is believed that the Senate this time.
as In 1884, Will be the scene of a stub
born tariff struggle. The democratic ma
Jority will be small. Debate under the
rules will be free. There is no fear that
cloture Will be proposed. 1t could not

Is hot to the taste of body where the
minority has always had a liberal say.
The Wilson bill of 1894 was changed
by the Senate, and became the German
Wilson bill. In its original form It was
not fair and square redemption of the
tariff plank Of the platform upon which
the democracy had returned to power,
but II squinted that way. The Senate
made II squint the other way, and q
bitter fractional row resulted.

The Charity Call.

Because the present winter has been
mild many persons have thought that
| the charity problem in the District has
been an easy one to solve. On the
contrary. the mildness of the winter
through the creation of belief that
| there is no need for funds, has crippled
! the work of the organized charities to
some extent. And now an urgent ap-
peal for $4,000 has been made to the
public being printed in another part
Of The Star today. in the name of the
Joint finance committee of the Associ-
sted Charities and the citizens relief
committee. Without this money it will
be impossible to carry on the manifold
preventive educational works that are
essential to a successful fight against
suffering in the District
The success OF a charity enterprise
Is not to be measured in terms Of aims
given or relief from acute distress af-
1orded. Indeed, emergency calls for
help occasioned by sudden stress of
weather are evidences that the real
charity work has not been productive
of desired results. To the extent that
people are taught thrift, and are given
employment, and are educated in mat
tiers Of sanitation and diet. and are
cured of demoralizng and expensive
indulgences, and are given a sense of
pride In their homes and a desire to
safeguard their children, the charity
WORK OF community is we'll done All
this costs money, chiefly money for
salaries. to keep in the service men
and women who are trained to study
the needs of the poor, who are uuali-
fed to give encouragement. who can
bring the worker and the work together.
who in general can be the best friends
OF those upon whom circumstances
press heavily. 1t would, of course be
delightful state of society if all such
work were done freely. But it has
been found that labors that are given
without compensation are not as a rule
efncient, and in the charity endeavor
as In all other works those who are
producing results must be paid for
their services. And so this $4,000 now
required will go largely to maintain
the organization in efficiency, to the
end. 1t is to be hoped, of 80 far curing
the poverty evil in this city that
emergency calls for funds to pay for
fuel and food for the poor in times of
keen weather stress will be unneces-
sary. The money that is given for
all-the-year work is an investment In
security and against distress.

Massachusetts, and the Cabinet.

The leading democrats OF Massachu-
sets protest the name of Louis ID. Bran
deis in connection with a cabinet port
folio. Gov. Foss objects. Mayor Fitz-
gerald of Boston would have the name
scratched. Chairman Riley of the demo-
cratic state committee was at Trenton
yesterday aging his objection before Mr.
Wilson
These men are straight partisans In the
matter. and would have Mr.. Wilson Sc
lect only straight democrats for the cab
met. Mr.. Brande!s is not classed as a
democrat. His views about the trusts
have brought him into sympathy with
Mr.. Wilson. but it is not understood that
either as to the tariff. the currency or
conservation. he has adopted the policies
set forth at Baltimore and soon to become
subjects for legislation.
Next fall a state ticket is to be elected
i'm Massachusetts. and the democratic
leaders in this cabinet matter are looking
10 that. The selection of Mr. Brandeis
for cabinet place would not help them.
Not being of the party. he would bring
nothing To ii as a member of Mr.. Wilson 8
.hcial family. The appointment would
be wholly personal. and of benefit only
to Mr.. Brandeis. If Massachusetts is to
be honored. why not through some man
who reads his title as a democrat clear?
Gov. Foss only few years ago was q
republican, but when he went over to the
democracy IL was with bag and baggage.
Here is such a case as that of Judge
Gresham twenty years ago. That excel
Tent man had supported Mr.. Cleveland
against Gen. Harrison, but had not ac-
cepted the democratic articles of faith
Still, In the belief that Judge Gresham II
associated with the administration would
bring strength to it from outside sources
Mr. Cleveland. over the protests of many
State Department.
The object of the selection failed. Judge
Gresham not only brought nobody with
him, but was not personally comforta BILE
in his new surroundings. His talents.
were not in the line of diplomatic work
and he had occasion to regret leaving
the bench, where he had been thoroughly
at home and eminently useful. And,
strangely enough. not only did MIR. Cleve-
land not receive any recruits from the
republican party as the result of the ap-
pointment but four years later his own
influence was In the scale in favor of the
republican nominee for President.
Mr.. Brandeis is lawyer of ability en-
listed in the antitrust cause on the Viii.
son side, but has no political influence
anywhere. If chosen for a cabinet post,
therefore. he will represent only his per-
sonal views and individual talents.

A National Budget Needed.
From the Chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Recent discussion in Congress indicates
that the democrats are at last coming to
believe that a national budget system is
desirable. Democratic members have
pointed out the need of cooperation be-
tween various committees having power
to recommend appropriations. The appro-
priations committee, which has little to
found itself overwhelmed by the efforts
of congressman working individually for
the spending Of money in their own dis
tricts. 1t is predicted that the appro-
priations of this session will break all
records for extravaganza. No corpora
ton or private concern Of course, could
afford to do business as Congress does
1t. President Taft and Secretary Mac
Veagh have urged the need of a budget
method of adjusting expenses to probable
revenues.
