The Washington Memorial Fund.


1t was in preparation for general team
work throughout the state that the Mas
sachusetts advisory council Of the George
Washington Memorial Association met at
the state house Tuesday afternoon and
made its plan and purposes clear to those
who were In attendance. The speakers
were Samuel L. Powers chairman of the
council; ex-Attorney General Parker, W.
Cameron Forbes, ex-Representative Wash
burn of Worcester and Frank Sanhorn,
and all appeared to be animated by a
common enthusiasm and common ap-
proval of the patriotic project to erect at
the nations capital a national civic hall
Washington. 1t was the general opinion
that such a structure would have a mean
ing and unitarian value not possessed
by the Washington Monument.
The secretary of the association is con-
stantly receiving encouraging reports
from governors Of other states and It is
probable that most IL not all of them will
come into the enterprise, though the hon
or of leadership seems to have been given
to Massachusetts,. 1t is in no sense a
matter of taxation. II the fund Of two
and a half millions required for the edi-
flee is raised at all it will be by the spon-
taneous offerings of public-spirited and
patriotic citizens. The quota for this
state is 5000 and committees to So
licit or present opportunities for contribu-
tons have been appointed all over the
state. Many members were present at
the initial meeting and many others who
could not come sent letters to the secre-
tary pledging their cordial cooperation
and service.

The Central High School Building.

Giving all possible weight to the cour-
tesy due to individual senators. there is
no warrant for any protracted delay on
the part of the Commissioners in the
matter of the construction of the new
Central High School. for which appro-
priations have been made and plans have
been drawn, upon the request of a MEM
Der of the upper house who has intro
duced bill materially modifying the
design and dividing the appropriation so
as to apply part of the money to another
high school building. To hold up the
Central building work until the Senate
has acted upon the pending bill may mean
10 postpone construction indefinitely.
There is no assurance of early action on
the measure by the Senate. for the
friends Of the Central High School prof.
ect in that body are not likely to consent
TO its passage even if 1t commands suffi-
Client strength to be seriously considered
The Commissioners are now confronted
with a definite mandate by Congress to
build the high school building of a certain
cost limit. 1t is for them to proceed with
due diligence In the premises, and let
those who are in opposition do what they
can to forestall IL meanwhile. If def
mite time limit could be set upon the delay
there would be perhaps reason for hold
ing up the work, but in the absence of
any assurance Of a settlement of this
natter-indeed, in the absence Of any
possibility Of such assurance-the obvious
course is for the Commissioners to pro-
coed in the premises as though the act
of Congress stood unauestioned

From Bad to Worse.
From the Pittsburgh caronicle-Telesraph

According to a telegram from Milwau-
kee the eugenics marriage law, which
went into effect in Wisconsin a week ago,
has made conditions worse instead of bet
ter. One startling result is that the de-
mand for marriage licenses has dwindled
to almost nothing, and another is an In
crease in common law marriages. On the
latter subject the recorder of deeds In one
county announces that he will record
common law marriage contracts at the
rate of 10 cents for each. mo three-dol-
lar doctors fee Is necessary" he says,
"only 10 cents to register the contract.
No marriage certificate, no doctors, no
pastor required. The registration of the
contract is necessary to obtain recogni-
ton in the courts No marriage GER

contract between the man and the wom-
an, without even the invocation of a
blessing? That Is what 1t looks like in
Wisconsin. where legislators have put OBJ.
stacies in the path Of lovers by requiring
them to undergo examination and to pay
doctors fees in addition to the charge
for the permit to marry.

Simon Bolivar Buckner.

The death yesterday of Gen. Simon
Bolivar Buckner at his home in Kentucky
recalls a most interesting chapter in his
long and interesting history, and one OF
the most interesting chapters in the coun-
try's political history. He was the can
didate for Vice President on the ticket
the gold democrats nominated in 1895 as
a protest against Mr.. Bryan and his free
silver propaganda.
1t was an occasion which tried souls.
Mr.. Bryan had been regularly nominated
and the platform on which he stood reg
ularly adopted, and free silver was no
new cry in the mouths of democrats. But
the issue, put as it had been at Chicago
that year. estranged many men who had
always AFFILIATED with the democracy. and
they went over either directly to the re-
pubicans. or took refuge in a halfway
house of their own erection.
Gen. Palmer of Illinois. who headed
the third presidential ticket. had been a
distinguished federal soldier, while Gen.
Buckner had been a distinguished Confed-
crate soldier. Both were high-class men
in every sense, and resolute in the asser-
ton of convictions. Both were old men.

mere excitement. They accepted their
nominations as matter of duty, and
with full knowledge that personal sue
cess was out of the question. They were
standing for a principle.
The ticket received but a small vote.

ferring to increase the value of their
protest by supporting the republican ticket
direct.
Gen. Palmer has been dead some years.
but stood to the last against the Bry-
anized democracy Gen. Buckner has
just gone. in his ninety-frst year. still
true to his financial convictions, but with
Mr.. Bryan the premier of a democratic
administration and the most potent in
fluence in 1t in matters Of national pol
icy. What is called the whirligig of for
tune has brought few more radical
changes
Gen. Buckner's most noteworthy service
in the civil war was performed at Fort
Donelson. After his superiors had slipped
away he took charge, and. man fashion,
made the best terms possible with Gen.
Grant. who had the place invested. I'm
conditional surrender was Grants an
swer. 1t was considered hard at the
time, but as it was business 1t ended
in making the two men friends for life.
Buckner recognized the thorough soldier
IN Grant. and Grant the thorough soldier
in Buckner. who could face defeat with
perfect courage.
Years later, when Gen. Grant was
broken in fortune and wasted by dis
ease. Gen. Buckner. who was rich. prof
fered In the most delicate way financial
assistance, and when Gen. Grant died
Gen. Buckner was invited to act as
pallbearer. The former foe was the
most striking figure at the great demon
stration in New York when Gen. Grant
was buried.

The Great; Falls Power Bill.

Senator Norris bill for the construction
of water supply and power dam below
Great Falls has the merit of directness.
| 1t provides specifically for the execution
| of a project which has already been out

is now before Congress. If this work Is
accomplished it will result in q large in

The Norris bill puts the construction
squarely on the government, proposing
to tax the District only for one-half of
the amount expended on account of the
water supply increase. It is to be as
sumed that the plan is to charge the Dis
trict its proportional part of the cost of
supplying electric power for municipal
purposes. Nevertheless. this phase Of the
project is not mentioned in the measure,
which stands strictly as a federal enter
