II Is to Laugh.

All France is laughing at the
sprightly practical joke played by Paul
Birault, subeditor of reactionary
journalist newspaper. upon some Rad
ical members of Parliament. Birault
sent printed circulars to the Radicals
which bore the portrait of Hegesippe
Simon with beard. and with the COS
tune and appearance of the conven-
ton in the days of the French revolu-
ton. The circular was signed by a
committee on celebration of the one
hundred and hftieth anniversary OF
Hegesippe Simon, and the recipients
were asked to take part in the cele-
bration.
Fifteen senators and nine deputies
bit They answered with an eloquence
not inferior to the perfervid appeal OF
the committee on celebration. They
would be delighted, they said, to do
honor to that great whether
prince, peasant, poet or politician, they
were afraid TO guess-and would be
glad to deliver addresses and orations
and anything else they had chance to
get out of their systems. They were
unanimous in their declaration that the
celebrated precursor of modern democ-
racy, the martyr of tyranny, ought to
be properly commemorated by a CRATE
full republic. They likewise signed let
tiers of adhesion to the committee on
celebration.
Then Birault published the letters.
Their writers, he said suaveIy, desired
publicity, and he was delighted to give
it to them. This Hegesippe Simon, he
explained, was an imaginary hero Gre
ated by his own fancy, a Pigment of
his own genius, but at least he suf-
feed 10 give these Radical hero-wor-
shippers an opportunity to be talked
about 1t was their own vanity and
ignorance, Birault commended, which got
them to be laughing stocks.
The circular bore this epigram from
Hegesippe Simon's written and spoken
words: THE night of ignorance van.

bit think the sun didn't rise soon

THE OPEN FORUM.
Risht. OF washinstonIan..

To the Editor: In a recent public dis
cUssion OF the question OF District SUI
frage, one of the speakers took the eN-
IRENE Federalist position that the Dis
trict Of Columbia belongs to the peo-
rIe OF the United States. and tight the
District should be maintained only as the
Seat OF government and as National
beauty spot" in other words, that the
people who live here. being merely
"squatters on the reservation have no
rights which Congress is bound 10 re-
spect.
II is hard to take such statements
seriously. They are certainly not In &C
cord with the sentiments now prevail
ing i'm Congress. especially among the
Representatives OF the more progressive
States of the West. II is now generally
realized that the present form OF Dis
trict government is a curious anomaly
in this stage OF expanding popular gov
eminent and that IL must give way be-
fore long to a better system.
For about seventy years prior to 1871.
Washington was a self-governing city
under charters granted by Congress.
From this fact alone il Is evident that
Congress can constitutionally delegate
the powers of local self-gOvernment TO
the people OF the District. There has
been n great advance in the art of mu-
nicipal government since 1871, and when
a modern form of municipal self-gov-
eminent il established in the District,
II will undoubtedly prove as great sue
cess here as il Is in Des Moines. Gal
weston. and other progressive cities.
The problem of today is to devise a
practical working plan by which the
residents of Washington will be granted
the rights OF citizenship and be allowed
to participate in the government OF the
city and the Nation without interfering
with the paramount AUTHORITY of Congress
in the Federal District. or with the APP
preparation of Federal funds for the
maintenance and development of the Ma
tion's capital. This problem presents
some difficulties. 1t calls for the most
careful study and investigation. hut il
can undoubtedly be solved with justice
TO all concerned.
Speaking of beauty spots how about
the ugly spots in our alley slums? Should
not the people of Washington have some
voice in determining what shall be the
living conditions in this city? Can We
really have a magnificent capital city
which will be a credit to the nation, until
the people who live here are allowed TO
solve their own problems of housing.
taxation, public utilities, and general
civic betterment: Congress appears TO
be too busy with national affairs to solve
these problems for us.

Secretary Redfeld's Rebuke.

Leaving all questions Of partisan
politics aside, Secretary of Commerce
Redheld is to be commended for the
rebuke he administered before the
New Haven Chamber of Commerce on
Saturday to the calamity howlers and
prophets of evil. Fortunately those
persons who are predicting national
disaster and commercial ruin comprise
but 4 small band, though the noise
would indicate an army. Still more
fortunately, evidence in support Of
these direful seers is almost totally
lacking. On the contrary, there is much
to indicate a firm confidence not only
in nationwide business stability, but in
o continuation of prosperous activity
not at all below the normal
Leaders in finance, commerce and
business generally are too busy to talk
of stsgnation and depression. They
are going steadily ahead adjusting their
operations to the new conditions and
planning future developments. From
East and West comes the news daily
of thousands of men returning to work
in mills and factories and of wages
being increased. Even if conditions
were the reverse, the patriotism of
those going about preaching calamity
might we'll be questioned.
OF course, the new tariff bill pre-
scented industrial problems for solu-
tion, but the law has been in operation
several months now and even the most
unrelenting foes of Democratic policies
must admit that the fears they ex-
pressed last year have not been real
lied.
They were wrong then, and it would
seem they ought to have been dis
rouragcd from making further predic-
lions and impressed with the wisdom
of discreet silence, an awaiting of de-
sclopmcuts.

long distance telephone tolls in con-

courts must decide whether telephone
conversation, not being tangible, can be
stolen. And in the meantime the youth
is staying in a place where he can't

The good news comes from England
that tuberculosis is slowly decreasing in
that country, and the hope of its ulti-
mate elimination is held out. The dis
patch suggests that only small part
OF the decrease is due to modern san
itation, and what the other causes are
is not stated. Figures are taken from
the report OF local government board
showing that even in such centers OF
the disease as Liverpool, Manchester
Birmingham and Sheffield it is dying
out. Organizations in this country en-
gagged in the war on consumption will
probably lose no time in making
thorough inquiry into the details of the
