The Memorial Bridge.

In consequence Of what must De a
total misunderstanding OF the matter the
house OF Representatives, by vote
comprising less than quorum. has re-
fused TO concur In the Senate Amendment
to the urgent deficiency bill appropriat-
ing s25.0OO for the expenses of the me-
mortal bridge commission provided for
by an act OF the last Congress When
the commission vas created by the act Of
March L. 1913. it was supposed that the
memorial bridge survey was fully
financed, but 1t was discovered later that
the supposed appropriation was not such
IN fact but merely Limitation Of ex-
penses to the amount of $4,000. The
amendment adopted by the Senate, which
Chairman Fitzgerald of the House COM
m.ttee wished to have agreed TO by the
House, corrects this defect and supplies
the funds necessary to enable the COM
mission TO proceed with its survey. OBJ
jections were voiced In the House and
in the course of the debate the sugges-
ton was advanced. by the chairman Of
the House District committee, that the
memorial bridge plan is merely "a real
estate project
IL is astonishing to find such am as
the House of Representatives OF received
in any degree of seriousness. IL there Is
one public enterprise urged in the Dis
trict of Columbia, above all others, that
is free from the least suspicion Of hav-
ing been designo for purposes of pri-
vate advantage. 1t Is this Of throwing
across the Potomac river a bridge COM
memorative OF the reunion of the Sec
tons, physically joining the site of the
memorial to Abraham Lincoln and the
soil of Virginia at the site OF Robert E.
Lees ancestral home. Such bridge was
proposed many years ago, long before
the Lincoln memorial plan had been
evolved, and II was conceived as pa
triotic proposition solely, by men who
have passed away and who had at the
time not dollars worth OF interest in
any lands affected by the suggested
structure. At no time In the history of
the memorial bridge project has there
seen the least ground for viewing 1t as
= real estate project. Indeed, the most
urgent practical objection that has been
raised against II from the outset has
been that II would have little practical
utility In view of the fact that its ap-
proaches would lie in public grounds.
The. appropriation item for this pur-
pose Is not lost, for II will be subject
for conference when the bill Is commit
ted to the representatives OF the two
houses. An agreement upon the Senate
paragraph is urgently to be desired. and
it is to be hoped that while the subject
Is under consideration members Of the
House who have been influenced in their
view by the assertion that selfish real
estate interest prompts the construction
Of this memorial bridge will investigate
the subject, for such an Investigation
must bring the conviction that Congress
Was never asked to approve more
worthy, A cleaner. a more unselfishly
patriotic proposition.

Sulzer and the Future.

II Gov Sulzer Is removed from o.
Ace. and yet Is not barred by the I'M
peachment courts decree from hold
ing office in future, will he try his for
tunes again In the field Of politics?
Just after the November election.
when everything looked rosy for him.
he fell into a sort Of sentimental rev.
erie and talked about the future. he
saw himself turned farmer In rev
years, and happy in that life. "A lit
tie farm by the roadside" was what ne
was then looking forward to- After
politics fitful fever, he thought ne
would live contentedly removed from
turmoil and strife.
Things have turned out differently
from the prospects and calculations
of that day. Gov Suizer has had the
stormiest time ever experienced by an
American executive Of any grade. An
drew Jehnson's Office was higher, and
the opposition was composed of men
of great national consequence. but the
charges in his case were not of the
appalling personal character that per-
tain to the present case. These in
New York make a record.
And yet there are men in New York
who sympathize with Gov Sulzer. In
the city, and particularly in the dis
trict which he represented in Congress
for years. he Is regarded by many Of
his old friends as martyr. They put
the matter in their own expressive
way, and declare that "Tammany has
done Billy dirt"
Suppose tomorrow's verdict is against
him. and vet does not outlaw him.
Suppose he Is left free to appeal his
case. so to say. to the people. Will not
the farm project fade away? May he
not return to the big town and offer
again for a congressional commission?
In such case he would have to run
as an Independent, because Tammany
would oppose him. and Tammany in
New York Is the regular thing. For
years 1t has not loved him. nor he 1t.
but in his races for Congress he was
always the Tammany candidate.
1t was only the other day that the
governor was quoted as recalling his
official life in Washington with great
pleasure. II had come to look para
disiacal as contrasted with his recent
life in Albany. II he loses the gov
ernorship and has to leave Albany,
may he not. II the liberty is left him,
head for this town again?
Such a contest would wake up New
York. We are told on the one hand
that present expressions of sympathy
with Gov. Sulzer are genuine. while
on the other that they are dictated by
a desire to injure Tammany in the
mayoralty race now in progress. Gov.
suizer is young man. and not Of the
retiring kind except under compulsion.

Autumn Nonsense.

The autumn leaves are fallingl
In melancholy strain.
Attention we are calling
To this event again,
Because it's customary
When autumn comes along
With notes Of grief to vary
The burden Of a song.
We say, why do they leave US
And drift toward the ground 2"
Their nature It's to grieve us
By lying thus around.
Balloons or airships lightly
Might float aloft each day.
But autumn leaves built rightly
Do not perform that way.

A Revolt Against Superstition.

From the New York Sun.
AS the trial of Beilss. the Jew ac-
cuSed at kief of ritual murder" pro-
ceeds 1t becomes increasingly evident
that the prosecutions contentious are
not credited In the minds of enlightened
and intelligent Russians, whatever their
religious faith may be. Among the ig-
norant belief in the practices attributed
to the prisoner holds sway; the familiar
instruments of race hatred and prejudice
have been skiufully used to fan suspicion
and incite passion. Against this must be
reckoned the efforts of respectable and
reasonable Russians to expose the un-
truthfulness Of the legend that Is on trial
in this case, efforts that, 1t is hoped, may
modify the attitude of the authorities
and even lead them to drop the allega-
ton of religious motive for the crime.
Should this be effected 1T must have
marked influence on popular thought
and would serve admirably in, the serious
campaign of education on this subject SC
greatly needed particularly In Russia.
