CAPITAL Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
Congressman frem chs Fourteenth District

I While the country knows grea'
deal about the activities OF Presldeh'
Wilson. due to the opendoor publicity
maintained at the White house. II
hears but little about the modest SIN
cere and active interest of the LADIES
of the White house in the social net
/ torment of the city of Washington. Nc
publicity is given by the White house
IN the charitable work that is winning
for Mrs. Wilson and her daughters the
love Of the poor and wretched OF the
capital city.
a recent illustration shows the devo-
tion of the White house ladies to good
works. Miss Margaret Wilson was IN
yited to attend diplomatic dinner
and reception given by Secretary
BRYAN, one of those affairs whlch
makes Washington official society SO
delightful to the average girl who has
the entree to II.
But Miss Wilson declined the invita-
ton that she might attend instead
public welfare committee meeting held
in "A small down town hall and attend
ed by a score of earnest welfare work
ers. She made a 15-minute talk at
this meeting outlining her views on
the problem OF doing away with the
alley evil in Washington. That she
had chosen this meeting above attend
ing the brilliant reception was learned
accidentally later.
A plan 10 abolish the alley dwell
ings in Washington. where the death
rate is terrifying, has been submitted
to congress by the commissioners OF
Washington. It is approved by Presi-
dent Wilson, and embodies in large
part the ideas of Mrs. Wilson and her
daughters formed in their study of
alley conditions. The bill provides that
one-tenth of the alley slums shall be
wiped out each year for 10 years, new
streets to replace the alleys and sani-
tary homes for the poor.
II is to be hoped that the committee
in taking up consideration of this bill
will study the system of rent penal
ties by which money is extorted from
the poor of Washington by landlords.

PARTY PLATFORMS.

Reasoning men Will have no quarrel
with President Wilson's contention
that the Baltimore platform. insofar
as II favors exemption OF certain
American shipping from Panama canal
tolls. IS not binding on the administra-
tion elected on that platform
The party platform IS the last word
respecting the creed Of the party inso-
far only as 81 deals with issues which
may fairly be presumed TO have been
in the minds OF the party when the
representation 10 the convention was
chosen. Il is not a fair presumption
that any delegate TO the Baltimore
convention was chosen with reference
10 his position on the toll question.
II has long been recognized by
thoughtful men that the tendency TO
legisiate in constitutions and platforms
on minor questions IS an evil. The
founders OF the republic understood
this and wrote a constitution one OF
the conspicuous merits of which was
and IS brevity. The political platform
did not come into fashion until So, and
then only for the purpose OF defining
the mature judgment OF the party on
questions OF fundamental or pressing
AAAa PgA AaAAANe
The custom OF legislating in the
platform on questions on which party
sentiment has not crys.allized Is
growth and an evil one. The present
case IS a striking illustration of this
fact. Here is one instance among
many in which n president has been
embarrassed through the presence in
his party's platform OF a declaration
placed there in the absence of pre-
vious debate before the people and
presumably to Oblige some persistent
delegate or handful OF delegates and
10 avoid the trouble OF threshing out
the question on the floor of the con-
vention and defeating the proposition
there.
A question that reaches a party
convention before It has been tossed
upon the arguments Of counsel is one
upon which a party declaration can
not bind those who may have the i'm
mediate responsibility OF dealing with
it. Their first espOnsibiity is TO the
public served and their violation of
the party declaration can Justly be
held to involve no violation of party
confidence unless the party can rea-
sonably be presumed to have pro-
posed the declaration as a test of
party fealty

deceived, and they have showed their
resentment at the polls.
The Underwood revision
was an honest one. and democratic
strength, instead of waning, has held
its own. The several recent bye-elec-
lions have shown the democrats poll
ing as heavily as they did in the presi-
dental election OF last year.
The best example is the recent cleo
ton in the second Iowa district, in
which Henry Vollmer, democrat was
elected to be the successor to the late
Irwin Pepper. Here was an evenly
balanced district showing normally a
slight democratic majority. 1t was the
sort of district in which any anti-demo-
cratic sentiment caused by the tariff
legislation would be sure TO show. Noll-
mer was elected by a comfortable ma
jority.
This election is an index to show
how the political wind will blow next
November.
