Open Mount Vernon Sunday!

Some day perhaps the regents of Mount
Vernon will realize that they are depriv-
ing a great many people Of the oppor-
tunity to visit the home Of George Wash
ington by their refusal to open the man.
sion to visitors on Sunday, and with
that realization may come a decision to
supply this opportunity by opening the
gates every day of the week. There are
thousands of people here in Washington
who have never been to Mount Vernon,
not because Of any lack, of desire but
through lack of chance. They are oc-
cupied through the week to the exclu sion
Of going to all such places and on vaca-
tions they usually go away from the
city to obtain the necessary change of
air and scenery for recreation. Thus the
years pass. and unless time Is taken from
work in order to escort a visiting friend
to the home OF the first President 1t re-
Imains unseen.
The opening Of Mount Vernon on Sum
day would mean that the people of
Washington would have a good chance
to see it. They Of all others should be
familiar with this important relic and
yet as the facts stand they are the least
familiar of ali the people OF the country.
For the tourists from the states make
it one of their first objectives upon
reaching Washington. while the local
residents are virtually barred from it by

Besides. the Senate is a smaller and
different body. The danger from exces-
sive talk ID not al great there as it was
in the House when Speaker Reed Set up
his guillotine and chopped OF language
in quantities.
And just now. Of all times, the Senate's
rules as respects freedom Of debate
stand well justified. Except for that
freedom and its intelligent exercise. the
country might have been AFFLICTED with
the Underwood tariff bill and the Glass
currency bill in their House form: and
the country still shudders at the bare
suggestion. In both cases the Senate
saved the day. and by full and free de-
bate improved those bills greatly.
And here now is the trust question. with
which the House has dealt in its sum-
mary manner, causing business, big and
little. all over the country to break out
in goosedesh. The Senate is saving the
day as to that also. It IL no exaggera-
tion to say that If there were the slight
est prospect of the House trust bills
becoming law we should be uncomfort-
ably near a panic. But the Senate with
its rules has intervened; and while the
precise outcome cannot be outlined. there
lS every SOli0SNCSs UOtu LII pOlllCd1 dIlQ
business circles. that the Senate's work
will be highly befefdal. 1t may not pro-
duce perfect legislation. but that is not
possible.
We may believe, therefore, that what
ever changes in the Senates rules and
procedure are recommended. cloture as
it Is known in the House will not be
one It would be a mistake. and greatly
dettact from the value Of the Senate as
"the refuge Of the minority" and the
shaper of measures often misshaped un-
der the hurried procedure of the House
Moreover, whatever report may be made
by the commission Mr.. Kern suggests
will be debatable under the present rules
Of unlimited debate. So that cloture for
the Senate, If recommended. can be
adopted only under rules fashioned to ex-
clude cloture from senatorial procedure.
The prospect Is not bright.

The Summer Outings.

Today and tomorrow special effort Is
being made by charitable organisations
which are in charge of the summer out
ings camps to raise the $1,000 needed to
finance these camps during the balance
OF the season. This money should be
raised without question before tomorrow
night. 1t will only need the giving Of a
few cents apiece by all the people Of
Washington to assure the maintenance
Of the camps to the last day of August.
and leave a balance for next year.such
a balance. perhaps. as will enable the
organization in charge Of the work to
plan an enlargement. 1t is estimated that
about 1000 women and children will be
cared for at the camps this season. It
would be possible to double this number.
SO long Is the list of applicants and
worthy women and children who should
receive the benefit Of these outings
BY means Of these camps sickly children
and tired mothers are cured land Tested
during the hot weather, when they are
in the gravest danger from the climatic
forces. An incalculable amount OF good
has been accomplished in past years by
this means. Many deaths have been pre-
vented; many lives have been strength
ened. and many homes have been saved
by the benefcent influence Of this practi-
cal charity. These camps have tided
over many a household by giving the
mother an opportunity to regain her
health
Every penny helps in this enterprise.
1t costs about so cents a day to keep q
child at one of these camps, so that every
person who gives half dollar Is grant
ing some sickly youngster at least one
days sojourn in the country. where good
food and fresh air will combine to re-
store health. Bearing this ratio in mind
4 is possible for those who give today
and tomorrow to assure themselves q
just exactly the amount of good they arx
accomplishing by their donations So
when the Young women who are passing
me hat about town approach give freely
and gladly. with the guarantee that you
are helping some poor family and Civ.
ing infinite pleasure and encouragement

He's the messenger of trouble, and the

More malevolent or ruder

The Senate and New Rules.

Mr. Kern. the democratic leader, ad-
vocates new rules for the Senate, and
thinks a commission will be appointed at
this session to consider the subject in
the vacation. and report to the next ses-
sion. He has In mind particularly form
Of cloture, and greater publicity for busi-
ness now transacted behind closed CON-
mittee doors and the Senate's closed
doors.
1t would not be safe to say. that the
Senate's rules need no nevision. . In the
main they are old: and many old things
need to be revised and brought up to
date The Houses rules were revised
twenty-odd years ago. with great benefit
to that body and to the public interests.
But the Senate has never suffered from
its present rules as the House had for
years under those it finally discarded.

Barnes and Murphy.

District Attorney Whitmans real diff
ficulty as respects the New York -kuber-
material race is not his alleged sub
serviency to Boss Barnes. He has not
shown himself to be a weaKling In Office,
put a strong man. He has tackled graft
ers right and left, and would have gone
much further with the proper SUPPORT. A
striking testimony to his strength and
character was afforded last year in his
reelection. Tammany did not dare op-
pose him. It was plain he could not be
defeated, and Tammany accepted the in
possible.
What Mr.. Whitman is contending with
in Roosevelt circles is that If elected Gov
ernor Of New York this year by rous-
ing majority he will At once become a
national figure and force, and enter into
the calculation for the presidency The
republicans are on the lookout for a
national leader. They do not lack for
men qualified by ability and experience
for the post. but here a geographical OBJ
lection lies against one man.. and there a
faction objection lies against another.
AS Governor of New York Mr.. Whit
man would be attractive geographically,
aha without just disability from the fac
ton point of view. New York is Of great
Importance in all political maneuvers,
and Mr.. Whitman has not been a fac
ZIONIST at any time Last year he re-
ceived support from republicans and many
bull moosers. as well as from democrats.
This explains the Roosevelt objection
to Mr. Whitman. Boss Barnes has never
co-operated with Mr.. Whitman in any
thing. land. there Is no good reason for
assuming that he would dominate Whit
man State administration.
On the other hand; Boss Barnes has CO.
operated with Mr.. Roosevelt. and at one
tins. was on. most pleasant terms with
him. Those relations would exist today
If the bosS were bull mooser and advo-
eating Mr. Roosevelt's return to the
White House.
The boss question is also plaguins Gov.
G1ypn. There is a demand that he
formally denounce Boss Murphy. His
administration has not been dominated
by the Tammany chief, and IL continued
for a full term probably would not be.
But the Intimate friends of the President
in the state want Tammany as a po-
litical organization destroyed, and are
attempting to force Gov. Glynn, as the
price of their support this year, to assist
in the work.
Thus Is raised afresh the question which
has so often figured in New York cam
paigns. There are many other questions
ready to hand of state and national in
terest Graft in state affairs. and the
congressional record In national affairs,
afford topics sufficient for the campaign,
but the issue Of bosSes and bossism is
added. and the md }asure heaped up.
Barnes and Murphy are very much in
the picture. and will remain so to the
end.

State Railways.
From the indianapolis News.

We have seen the extreme wastefulness
OF railway management in France and
1taly-the government being owner-and
now We have the same story from Bel
gium. Out of every 800 of gross receipts
in 1911, $66.S9 went to pay operating
expenses this amount rising, in 1912, to
$69 The amount-out Of every 800
paid out in 1912 by the privately owned
lines on operating account ran from S3s. 50
to $67.1S the average being s41.42 The
largest of. the five private companies
made the best showing-and they all
made better showing than the govern
ment roads. In 1912 the state roads show
ed an apparent net earning of $19, ,622. 600
But against this must be charged inter-
est payments to the sinking fund against
the railway debt, and rental paid on
certain lines in foreign territory-a total
of $2O.3s4,Os1. Thus. there was a deficit
Of almost 100000. The state railways
are actually bankrupt. There are people
in this country who are urging railroad
legislation so radical and burdensome as
to force government ownership. and there
are railroad men who are looking for
ward to it as the lesser of two evils
