TWO SIDES OF HUMAN KIND.

distinctive sides of human character.

She appeared to be possessed of con-
Gidcreble wealth, and had made an

she discovered that she had los. her

But one day this week, to add to the
indignities that have already been
heaped upon the helpless images, there
was a great creaking and painting and
heaving heard at the door, and pres
emily the new marble statute of Zach
ariah Chandler of Michigan, inched its
way into the hall on rollers, urged by
sweating men with crowbars. The
statue is to be formally dedicated this
week.
Once the big piece of stone was in
the hall, the question was where to
place it. The capitol workmen figured
it out. By changing a statue or two
about, and jamming them all up a lit
tie closer together, a space was Gre
ated for the late Mr.. Chandler.

WORK BY MOTOR BOAT PATROL

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., June 21.-Secre-
airy CT commerce lillian c. Redield
has received from the bureau CT navi-
cation q statement of the operations
Of tho motor boat Tarragon and the
results accomplished in the enforce
ment of the motor boat and other nav
isGtiol lawc. From July /, 1912, to
May 81, 1918, total of 335 days, the
Ta-r2go1 was in operation 20 days,
during which SECS miles were cover
cd, daily running average of 80
miles. Weather conditions precluded
operations for 20 days; The boat vas
out of commission for 16 days for
the installation of radio apparatus;
and the remaining time was lost for
the construction of a pilot house, for
minor repairs, through lack OF an en-
gineer, and because o. the necessary
absence of the navigation officer.
Violations of navigation laws by
SCI vessels were reported, of which
225 cases remain to be disposed of as
soon as the offenders have awaited
themselves of the opportunity TO pre-
sent their defense to the department.

in staying outside the democratic
fold, and they would be without
peg on which to hang criticism of the
democratic party-a plight in which
they do not purpose to put themselves
by extending praise of the president
to his party associates.
And yet the president, excellent as
he is individually, has not proven him
self to be better than his party. In
what has the party refused to follow
him? Certainly not on the tariff-most
important issue of his administration.
The party majority of the house COM
mittee on ways and means, the house
party caucus, the party in the house,
and last, the party majority in the
senate finance committee-an have
stood by him in his efforts to give the
people genuine tariff revision.

In addition, about 400 cases of failure
to carry the means of extinguishing
gaSoline have been reported to United
States attorneys under sections and
8 of the motor beat act. The amount
CT mitigated fines assessed and esti-
mated to be assessed in cases not yet
settled will be nearly $4,000. The de-
pa-tmcnt has shown leniency in the
c2sc1 OF nearly all first offenders, as
the aggregate statutory penalties in
Cured would have amounted to about
100000.
The Tarragon represented on May
81, 1913, a capital Investment of ST.
208.39, OF which $4,000 was the initial
cost and the balance was expended
for repairing, refitting and equipping
the boat for its work. From June 27,
1912, to May 81, 1913, the operating
expenses amounted to S5,528.12 and
tie receipts and estimated receipts
from fines and penalties to S4,595.
This important work is therefore be-
ing done at small expense to the gov
ernment, IS the net cost of the opera
lions for IL months was less than
$1,000.

AUTOMOBILE VIOLATIONS CON.
TIME

The city has acted none too soon
in its purpose to regulate the use of
the streets and it is hoped Police Com
missioner Hart is not inclined to per-
nit laxity in his announced pur.
pose to bring the automobile drivers
and motorcycle riders TO a decent re-
spect for the ordinances, to say moth
ing of the rights of the average citi-
zen on the streets.
During yesterday afternoon and last
evening, Second avenue was a veri-
table whirligig of fast flying vehicles.
They were tearing along in all direc-
tons without regard to speed, dashing
into assemblages of people alighting
from and getting into cars and paying
no attention to whom might be endan-
gered.
The city ought not to back up now
in its automobile regulations. 1t should
go right along compelling respect for
the ordinances. No attention should
be paid to court appeals on the part
of those who may be apprehended and
convicted, and this in no disparage.
ment of anyone. 1t is an easy thing
to appeal to a higher court, but if the
city stopped prosecutions every time
an appeal is made where an ordinance
IS violated, there would soon be no

but allowed him to glare even more
fercely at Daniel Webster, his old
rival, across the hall. And Chandler
found room between Calhoun and
Lewis Cass OF Michigan, crowding out
of the line Muhlenberg, the Penn
sylvania revolutionary hero, who now
stands little in front of the unbroken
line, so that the statuary hall game
is now bull in the ring, with Null
enberg as the bull.
We can imagine the peevishness of
these old statues at being disturbed
after years of sitting in one place. No
doubt many malignant stone glance
has been cast in the direction of
Chandler, who after all couldn't help
butting into the exclusive circle. But
the thing that is causing the greatest
amount of envy is the fact that the
new arrival is the only gentleman OF
the assemblage whose stone pants are
creased.
When it comes to art, it is no Won
der the ancient Greeks excelled. The
Greek statesman naturally lent him:
self to sculpture. Instead of regular
store clothes, he simply wore a sheet
whose folds could be gracefully repro
duced in everlasting stone.
But the modern long trouser defes
art. In fact, pants are about the
hardest proposition the modern sculp-
tor has to tackle. Most of our pres
ent-day sculptors simply array their
subjects in granite pants several
sizes too large, bagging them about
each adamantine leg and letting it
go at that.
But no such subterfuge for the sculp-
! tor of Zachariah Chandler. No, sir.
