be appropriately referred. and will act
as instruction to the committees.
Of course the committees will possess
the power OF amendment, and even of re-
lection in toto. Mr. Wilson has not yet
advanced the proposition that Congress
shall merely indorse the presidential pro-
gram. and it will be time enough to dis
cuss that when he does. For the present
we need only consider the perfectly
patent fact that If the policies of party
successful at the polls are to be shaped
BY the man installed in the White House,
ne should have full swing and the author
ity to make himself thoroughly under
stood
If II Is objected that Congress makes
the laws and the President executes Them
the reply is that that is the old order
which, il is asserted. must give place TO
new, lest one good governmental custom
corrupt the republic. Tie President, be-
ing the leader, must lead. and Congress
be made to know where 1t is expected to
follow.
Progressivism is the cry. But some OF
the things urged in its name look not
only queer but dangerous The Wilson
program as to Congress. logically ap-
piled, would make that body. In the
language of the curbstone, looks like thir-
" cents, while the Roosevelt program as
to the courts would make those tribunals
look even cheaper. Great days are
ahead: and If the prize stumpers do not
lose their assurance and cunning. what
is called the welkin will ring next year
and two years later deafeningly.

The Burning of the Volturno.

Another horrifying disaster at sea is
reported today by wireless, the news Of
which was given promptly to the people
OF Washington by means of The Stars
early morning extra issue. the eatas-
trophe IS of an unusual type. steamer
burning in midocean during a rag ing
gale. Had this occurred few years
earlier, before the invention and adop-
ton of wireless biography, the loss OF
life would probably have been complete.
But the call for help sent puls!ng through
the air summoned a fleet of ten vessels.
and while these were unable to render
completely efficient aid. they served to
rescue the larger part of the ships COM
pany. a most thrilling spectacle is de-
scribed by the reports that come from
the sea today, liners fastening from their
courses in response to the signal OF ex-
treme danger and approaching as near as
possible TO the burning ship.
The Titanic sank practically alone and
unseen. though help was within the wire
less call. The Volturno burned within
the sight of thousands of people, crowd
ing the decks of the steamers lying futile
~ about her. Probably never before
has such a scene been witnessed and 1t is
TO be hoped that ii will not be seen again.
The disaster calls attention to the fact
that danger of fire at sea is not yet over
come. \ searching inquiry will, of
course, be made to ascertain the re-
sponsibility for this catastrophe and TO
insure precautions against repetition.

Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Clayton.

have been a mistake. That would have

Mr.. Clayton Will remain in the House

Mr. Wilson is not and need not be- dis
turbed about the result of the next demo-
cratic national convention. II he lives,
and cares to. he is reasonably certain to
control that body
No. the likelier explanation is that Mr.
Wilson has in mind getting "a stronger

Typhoid.

While there is decided encouragement
in the report that between the LIST OF jan
uary and the LIST of October of this year
there had been in the District of Column
bia forty-six fewer cases of typhoid fever
than were reported during the same Pc
Rod in 1912, the fact that there were In
the past nine months 361 typhoid cases
in the National Capital is evidence that
the work against this disease Is far from
completion. Water publication and fly
elimination and the sanitation that has
resulted from and accompanied the fly
fighting crusade in the District have con-
tributed chiefly to the reduction of the
disease AS far as the Districts health
inspection service has extended it has
been effective in checking the introduce
ton of yphoid-contaminated foods. Yet
the District is exposed still to this danger
from without. The larger part of its
food supply comes from the adjacent
states, i'm which the systems of sanitary
inspection are not equal to that Of the
District itself. Occasionally typhoid de-
velops here from milk obtained in Mary
land and Virginia. but the local health
service suffices to give warning after the
appearance OF the disease and the con-
taminated supply Is banned. Many Of
the local typhoid cases are imported
That Is to say, they are contracted dur
ing the summer outside OF Washington
and develop here, upon the return of the
victims from vacations. Eliminating
these cases and the instances Of infec-
ton by means of foods contaminated
elsewhere and brought into the District.
Washington develops a very small per-
centage Of typhoid. The fight against
the ny, so successfully waged for two
years, must be continued. not merely in
order to exterminate the pest itself but
to effect the cleaning out of breeding
places. which are in themselves unwhole-
some and provocative Of disease. Mean
WHILE the hope is that washington's fight
against typhoid will be continued else

Is Spain to Rise Again ?


The suggestion that Spain should be re-
stored TO place among the great powers
recalls the predictions which We're made
after the Spanish American war, that the
loss of her chief colonies would prove a
blessing to that country by moving her
to domestic reporms and to the develop
ment of the exceptional resources of the
Iberian peninsula.
II cannot be said that those predictions
have as yet been fulfilled. There has been
little growth in population or prosperity.
1t is true that immigration is increasing
steadily, but so is emigration. and the lat
ter lie nearly double the former. The num-
bers Of marriages and of births do not in
crease and the death rate Is not decreas-
ing as much as in some other lands To-
day Spain has scarcely twenty millions
in land which could support a hundred
millions In plenty and power.
Yet 1t would be unjust and injudicious
to despair of Spain's rehabilitation. Her
marvellous situation and her soil and
climate all indicate vast possibilities.
while among her people there may be per-
ceived physical and mental stamina
which We must search far to find sur
passed. A Spain again among the great
powers is by no means beyond the limits
of reasonable possibility.

Defining Graft.

Prom the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
Why shouldn't we have commits sio a
to consider the meaning OF graft and
what practices 1t embraces? This would
be useful in national, state and particu-
larry municipal affairs. There aSe scores
Of OUTLAWS Of public money that are look
ed upon as honest. but which are really
forms of corruption, and wherever they
are practiced, even though thoughtless.
they have their sad effect upon the off,
cial character. as strychnine would have
upon the body, even though person took
1t as popcorn. 1t is very necessary that
the common forms of graft should be
stated; that the public service should
know them and the people generally
recognize them wien they appear. Max
ing private use of the time paid for pub
lie duty or using any of the public prop
erty for personal benefit or convenience
is graft, but the instances should be de-
fined, even II there are hundred and re-
Quire an index.
