The Commissioners.

The confirmation of Commissioner Sid
dons and favorable action by the
committee on Mr.. Newman practical
~ complete the Districts administra-
tive board and give the National
Capital a good governing body. 1t
would have been unfortunate had the COM
mittee decided to delay action further in
order to consider the question of Mr..
Newman's eligibility on the score of his
residence, which had been adequately ex-
amined in the light of the facts and al
legations regarding his various locations.
II is obvious that he has been sufficiently
a District man to qualify under the terms
81 the organic act. and there is now an ex-
cellent prospect that he and Mr.. Siddons,
together with Maj Harding, will work
together to give the District an efficient,
progressive. harmonious administration.
Against the characters of the Presidents
nominees no word was raised. nor was
there question OF their ability, and il is
satisfactory to find them at last, after so
much delay in their selection, given the
Senate's mandate for commencing work
al the District building. where many
items of Importance await their action.
In his retirement from the District gov
ernment Commissioner Rudolph carries
with him the high esteem and warm re-
gard Of the people of the District. He
has served the capital for several years
At heavy personal sacrifice. ont of a
spirit Of public duty. giving to ii his best
thought and his most earnest loyalty. A
more conscientious Commissioner never
served the District, nor one who held high
e ideals for the welfare of the commu-
nifty He has been interested In everythin :
making for the advancement of the mu-
nicipal efficiency and in the welfare of the
people. He has represented the District
worthily and with dignity on all occasions
when il became his duty to speak for H..
and now that he returns TO private life.
after a service which has been at times
difficult and always arduous, he has
earned the thanks and. the congratula-
tons OF his fellow-citizens.

The Senate and the Tariff.

Five weeks of debate in the Senate on
the tariff bill will bring us into the neigh
borhood of September l. Then the bill
will go to a conference between the Sem
ate and the House.
The length OF the conference will de-
pend somewhat on how the measure has
Jared in its passage through the Senate.
If IT is but little changed in essentials, a
speedy agreement may be reached and
report made to the two houses for
final roll call. But il the narrow Senate
majority does not hold at all points. and
changes are carried out of line with the
Presidents wishes and the Houses
record made in accordance with those
wishes, a situation may arise making the
conference not only protracted. but even
more exciting than the open debates have
been.
The republican senators are not plan
ming to delay the final vote. Their an
nounced purpose is to examine the bill
thoroughly, and propose amendments
carrying their views of what should be
done. The responsibility, as they know,
is upon the democrats for legislation.
In this connection the announcements
as to Mr. Smoot and Mr.. La Toilette are
most interesting. The senator from Utah
who is familiar with the subject, will
offer a wool schedule as a substitute for
that of the finance committee; and the
debate on that should bring out the diff
ference between the republican and the
democratic points of view on what has
been called 1.-The citadel of protection.
The senator from Wisconsin will go
further He is preparing. and will offer.
what in scope is in itself a tariff BILL
and probably this explains a previous
announcement of purpose on his part
to consume several days-maybe a week
in addressing the Senate.
Mr. La Toilette, 1t will be remembered,
opposed the Payne revision four years
ago while it was before the Senate. De-
claring himself a protectionist. he yet
insisted that the Payne bill did not re-
deem the pledges made by the republic
cans at Chicago in 1908, and that many
of the new duties proposed should be
lower In his bill, therefore, we shall
probably get what with the power he
time And the public will be at liberty
to speculate as to whether had the re-
publican party adopted Mr.. La Toilette
views instead of the views 1t did adopt
it would have escaped the defeat of 1910
and that of last year.
For the development Of the full ques-
ton as now shaped the five weeks agreed
upon between the two parties should be
sufficient The country is at attention

Hardships of a Career.

Said old Bill Jones to Ezra Bings
my friend. you just watch me!
I'm going to do a lot of things
You'll be surprised to see
I'm going to lead a movement great
And lift my voice on high
And rank with those who legislate
In Congress, by and BY"
And old Bill Jones he went ahead
And did exactly as he said.
He sits in Congress. day by day
And stays awake at night
To study out what he must say
To set the nation right.
All summer long he's up in arms
For every kind of strife,
While Ezra Bings enjoys the charms
OF simple placid life.
And all that keeps old Bill afloat
Is Ezras influential vote.

The Waste That
Haste Makes

To busy people the most valuable
thing in the world is time. We
may lose our money, our friends
or our umbrellas and possibly get
them back again, but an hour once
gone Is gone forever.
That is rather SOLDERING
thought
But this does not mean that we
must conduct our affairs in wild
haste, because there is almost as
much time lost in a lifetime by
misdirected energy as there is by
idleness.
In order to get the best results
In using time. it is necessary to
plan first and act afterward. In
that way we may avoid any super
fious motions.
Take for example one field of
activity-the purchase of all the
articles for our daily use. We
nave all wasted precious hours
scurrying here and there, uncer-
tain what we wanted and where
to f1nd 1t. Finally we have re-
turned home and ANNOUNCED tri-
umphantly that Just by luck

Pennsylvania Coal Tax.
From the New York World.

From The New York World
The coal railroads have lost no time in
transferring to the shoulders Of the deal
ers the burden of the new tax Of 2h per
cent levied by the state of Pennsylvania
on all anthracite exported from that
state. With equal self-denial the dealers
will shift the load. with additions. to the
consumers. In levying upon anthracite
shipped beyond state lines Pennsylvania
is taxing a product of which it has a
monopoly of the supply. 1T has been
careful TO discriminate in favor of it's own
people. This method of taxation is
vicious and Is practically certain to prove
unconstitutional when tested in the
courts. The United States Supreme
Court blocked similar attempts of states
to interfere with the freedom of COM
merce in the Oklahoma oil cases and in
the Indiana gas case

The 0verhanging Sign.
From the Chicago Journal.

1t may be that cities are under no obli-
cation to provide beauty for their people,
but at least they should abstain from in
f1icting ugliness. The city government
which tolerates such useless monstrosi-
ty as the overhanging sign has no right
to complain IL its citizens show them
selves careless in the matter OF clean
alleys and neat garbage receptacles.
Every overhangng sign is in violation
Of well known public policy. Every one
is an intruder on space belonging to the
people. Every one helps to disfigure the
street, and to increase the dangers of
fire. Every one represents special privi-
lege-and special privilege is just another
name for graft. Every one is an unmiti-
gated nuisance.

Official War News.
From the Springfield Republican.

The failure of the press to give any
adequate account thus far OF so great a
war as that now raging is due to several
causes. The immediate cause, of course
is the dearth of trustworthy news and
the obvious mendacity of the official bull
letins. Even IL there had been correspond
ents at the front they would have had
no way of getting their dispatches past
the censor.

WEEKLY TABLE OF BONDS.
MONEY.

The one gratifying element OF the re-
port OF national banks as Of June 4 Is a
decrease in loans Of s35. O6s, 247 since April
4. OF this amount. however, the New
York City institutions contributed s23.-
7G0,367, or more than two-thirds. The
country banks have not been as drastic
in their efforts toward loan restrictions as
the banks In this city, but on the whole
the report was not discouraging, as on
April T. the outside institutions reporting
a loan increase. As compared with the
in loans Of s1S9. 123,700 on June 4. which
was due 10 the country banks; for the
year New York City banks reported a de-
crease in loans. There is still room for
Improvement. as the percentage OF re-
serves is yet below what usually Is re-
garded as safe mark. In the local
money situation for the week the feature
has been an unusually heavy transfer OF
funds 10 the Treasury of the government

slightly freer tone was shown In COM

cent Is still held firm Call loans were

tinued at per cent liberal offerings were
made and some transactions closed under
that rate. The Bank Of England state
