The Districts Insane.

Controller Downey's decision regarding
the care of the crdminally insane in the
government hospital Is a gratifying re-
lief from the tendency manifested in Con-
gress during recent years to saddle the
District with every conceivable charge
and expense. The controller rules that
the District is not liable to the govern
ment hospital for the maintenance Of the
criminal insane in its Jurisdiction. and the
appropriation act for the support Of the
INDECENT insane Of the District in that
institution is not liable fer such a charge.
He also rules that the District is entitled
to credit in the government hospitals &C
counts for the care and maintenance Of
the Districts insane to the extent that
the hospital is reimbursed for board and
maintenance from pension payments.
The controller finds that the laws free
the District Of the responsibility and cost
which the hospital authorities have
sought to impose upon 1t. His interpre-
tation Of the statutes is to be appreciated
the moro fully because Of late legislative
''discoveries'' OF alleged arrears on the
part of the District in this matter Of in
sane hospital charges. For this judgment
the District IL deeply grateful It has
been muIcted In 30 many ways that any
measure Of equity Is to DO welcomed
warmly.

Outside Of official circles material is

The Geographic Society.

The decision of the National Geographic
Society to erect an auditorium for the
delivery of science talks is in line with
the progressive policy which has gov
erned that valuable organization through
out its existence. 1t is today one of the
foremost scientific bodies in the world.
and Washington is proud to be the scene
of its headquarters and its chief ac-
uvities Its membership is world encir-
cling and its activities in the line of re-
search and exploration have added rich
ly to the store of knowledge, while its
publications have stimulated popular in
terest in the lands and peoples of the
earth.
With auditorium of its own of
proper size and suitable accommodations
the society's usefulness in the diffusion
of knowledge will be greatly increased.
So high is the standard of its lectures
that the demand for tickets is always in
excess of the facilities, an unfortunate
condition which it is hoped to remedy
through the enterprise just undertaken.
Founded little more than a quarter
of a century ago, the National Geographic
society has developed from a small. OBJ

Business.

Business never is. but always to be,
blessed. Which fact is making business
tired
First. the tariff Business was as
sured that everything would be all right
as soon as revision of the Payne law was
out of the way. 1t would then have no
difficulty in adjusting itself to the new
schedules So business waited, hoping
for the best But the revision did not
produce the promised effect. Business
did not feel spur to renewed activity.
Second, the currency Business was as
sured that everything would be all right
as soon as a new currency law was on
the books. Then nothing could prevent
a return Of confidence, and everything
would be in full swing again. So busi-
ness. as it could do no other. continued
to wait But the new currency law did
not produce the promised effect. In fact,
there is much uneasiness about how
it is going to work. The board Of con-
troll has not yet been confirmed by the
Senate.
Third, the trusts. Business must not
expect too much. if anything. before adj
ditional regulation of the trusts had
been attended to. That had been prom
ised at Baltimore, and the promise must
be redeemed. Business must remember
that Rome was not built in a day. Re-
publican misrule had continued for six
teen years running, and the fruits were
with us. Give the democracy a little
time Heavens above! After trust leg
islation had been added to tariff and to
currency legislation nothing could longer
hinder a return Of prosperity.
And there business is today. Congress
does not want to proceed, but the Presi-
dent insists that it shall, and weeks, and
probably months, must elapse before the
new measures are on the books.
Remembering its two disappointments,
business Is asking itself about the proper
course if it meets with another disap-
pointment. The new trust regulation
may not produce what is being promised
in its name II it should not; IL the
great trilogy-tarin revision, currency
revision, and additional trust regulation
should not Hight the fires in tho dark
ened furnaces, start the still wheels to
turning again, and guide pay envelopes
into tens Of thousands of empty pockets,
what then? Upon what other measure
must business wait? And how long will
it be before the sun shines again. and
business be able to rake the meadows,
sweet with hay?
Except that the matter is SO momen-
tous and far reaching, one might drop
into slang and exclaim, TT is to Taught"
But what affects business calamitously
is no laughing matter. however absurd
it makes political prophets and certain
legislators appear. The interests of bust
ness are the interests Of the whole peo-
pie.

Mr.. Bryan.

1t seems not to occur to those demo.
Gratis who urge the retirement OF Mr.
Bryan from the cabinet to suggest his
successor. To whom would the President
turn in such case?
Mr.. Clark would not be available be-
cause of his present ofice-which he
would not surrender for any cabinet
portfolio-and for the additional reason
that in the Panama canal controversy-a
State Department matter-he parted COM
pany with Mr.. Wilson. His usefulness to
his party and to the country. and his per-
sonal comfort, lie in his remaining in
Congress.
For the same reason Mr. Underwood
would not be available March next he
will enter on a full term In the Senate-a
place he has admirable equipment for
and he too parted company with Mr.. Will
son on the canal matter. Moreover, the
tariff is by no means settled The law
bearing his name IL not working well,
and may have to be changed in tho near
future, and Mr.. Underwood should be n

comes.

Tammany Wins.

At the conference of democratic state
leaders in New York yesterday, held TO
discuss matters relating to the coming
state campaign. the proposition favored
bv Tammany Hall carried by vote OF
rs TO 2O-nearly four TO one. OF course.
What could the democratic party OF New
York do without Tammanyc When in the
past fifty years has it won victory IN
the state without the aid of Tammany!
What would be the effect this year if
Tan1many sulked? Democratic prospects
are poor as matters stand. Without Tam
many the party would disappear from the
equation.
Tammany is tough. both of hide and
reputation 1t has stood, and can stand.
a good deal of abuse from those who. per-
fectlv willing to train with 1t and accept
the fruits of its activity. want it to re-
main under cover. Reformers feel en-
harrassed when found in Tammany
company In broad daylight.
OF late. Tammany has shown ambition
and made progress in political power.
Several years ago it extended its domi-
nation to Albany 1t added state control
TO its trophies. and ran things from But
falo to the Battery Smash resulted, both
at Albany ana III bTFdIeT we" it
Dix failure was followed by the Sulzer
failure. and in the mayoralty election the
Tammany candidate was overwhelmed.
Still. Tammany survives. Mr.. Murphy
is still on deck. He was at the confer
ence yesterday. serene, and even in jovial
mood. The anti-Tammanyites could not
rufT1e him. He knew in advance what the
result would be. and awaited it without
swagger.
Gov. Cilynn has been censured for not
breaking with Tammany. Friends of the
national administration-some of them in
federal Office in New York-have wanted
him to use his power as governor for
Tammany's discontinue.
We probably see in yesterdays show Of
hands reason for the governors course.
He knew the situation. Why break with
Tammany when if nominated he would
have to depend on Tammany for his only
chance of election? With his head in the
Tigers mouth, why not be civil to the
brute? And so he has been-very civil.
In New York affairs, Tammany cannot
be concealed. 1t exists, it knows its pow
er. and it takes advantage of every oppor-
tunity to make that power felt.
The voters of New York ought to know
by this time what victory achieved
largely through the instrumentality of
Tammany means. And 1t is in their pow
er to keep Tammany away from the crib
where provender is kept. So that when
ever in an attempt to execute a little
huggermugger they vote Tammany in I'M
der another name they get about what
they deserve Tammany. under any sort
OF leadership, is out for the pickings

Go Swimming.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Teach your boy to swim It is the best
exercise in the world in the summer.
It develops the chest. improves the
wind and strengthens the heart. A boy
who does much swimming can't smoke
many cigarettes. because swimming is
about the severest test Of wind there
Is. Besides. II your boy knows how to
swim it will likely save his life some
time. Teach your girl to swim. It will
make her supple, 1.-THE and strong, and
self-reliant. For when she is beyond
her depth she has only her own arms
and legs and nerve to depend on. And
knowing how to swim may save her
life. Practically every one that was
could swim. Teach yourself to swim. If
you do not know already. You cannot
be too old nor too young to enjoy 1t.
It Is the best fun in the world. and 1t
may save your life some time.
