From the Boston Transcript.


The London Times, commenting on

In the field, notes that stories of the
sal1antry of a regiment attract men to
that unit. Volunteers ask to be as
signed to 1t. It's gaIlantry may have

Of the civil war The dark hours for
the Union cause were, SO long as the
volunteering impulse lasted. follow ed
by popular demonstrations OF an inten

did the tidinRs that particular regi-
ment had suffered heavily fail to stir
the locality in which it was raised to
exsrtions to make good the gaps In its
ranks AS practically all our regimente
were volunteer local pride and local
sympathy were twin levers OF recruit
ment. In many a town the news that

who hesttated to enlist to resort to the

Street DEVELOPMENTS.

That the possibilities of street de-
velopment in this city have been only
partially realized is indicated by the
plans just set forth and in part in
augurated for the decorative treatment
of the midstreet parkings. The par
ticular scene of this improvement 10
Pennsylvania avenue between 4th and
sth streets southeast. where, as pre-
viously described in The Star. chains
have been looped along the boulevard
parkway to carry vines. 1t is easy to
imagine the effect of such a decoration
when it has developed through a sea-
son or two of growth. The rigid
strsig lines of the street will be
broken into graceful curves and light
screens of green will be trained to re-
lievs the eye. AS The Star suggested
the other day respecting the midstreet
parkings such as that recently started
in Maryland avenue northeast. not
enough consideration was given in the
early stages of the city's planning and
development to the utilization of the
thoroughfares for other than strictly
practica! uses. Nothing adds more to
the appearance of city than a series
of these central parks bisecting the
thoroughfares and Washington might
be the most attracti city of all
America In this respect with some re-
adjustments of the space. BY taking a
few feet off the sides now given to
sidewalks and parkings and putting
the space into midstreet grass and
shrubbery. every part Of the capital
would be made exceptionally beautiful.
This is a thought to be borne in mind
a changes in curb lines are planned in
future public works.

q good Secretary Of State or Attorney

Q good Secretary Of State or Attorney
General.
If Mr.. Mann remains in the congress
sional field and his party sweeps the
country he probably will not care for
a cabinet post. For in that event he
will succeed Mr.. Clark in the speaker
ship. and the republicans will be likely
to restore the offics to its former I'M
portance.
Gov. Whitman, missing q place on the
national ticket, would make a capital
Attorney General. while Mr.. Justice
Hughes would preside well over the
State Department.
1t is out Of this survey Of the situa-
tion that the full size Of the repub-
lican hope grows. The party is strong
in its present leadership. and the lead
ers would serve well anywhere. All
are good presidential timber and equally
good cabinet timber
Mr.. Lincoln's first cabinet contained
four men of first-class importance,
any one of them easily equal to the du-
ties Of the presidency. Seward, Chase,
Stanton and Blair were tower of
strength to their chief. Without men
Of such grade. indeed, Mr.. Lincoln could
not have succeeded. His burdens. un-
shared by such shoulders, would have
broken him down. He realized the
demand and his necessities, and sought
the right men.
If the next President is a republican
he will have a task Of magnitude, and
can hope to perform it well only by
surrounding himself. as Mr.. Lincoln
did. with the best men available. The
better known they are for work done
in high office the better for him. his
party and the country. And it is to be
assumed that no man to whom he ap-
plies for assistance will fail him. The
President will have a right to expect
every man to do his duty in that sphere
of the political life to which it has
pleased the President to call him.

ed the people in the matter Of giving
to the poor themselves in the way of
more thrifty living. 1t has had to con-
tend against the impulsive tendency of
the generous citizen to give to the
casual applicant without investigation
and without thought for the encour-
agement of thriftlessness which such
haphazard giving entails.
At last nights meeting a note of
warning was sounded that is to be
needed. The people of Washington
have been asked during the past four
months to give to various charitable
objects abroad, to relieve distress oc-
casioned by the war. They have re-
sponded generously. They should not
forget that there is a duty here at
home to be discharged and that the
local charities must be maintained
first, in full measure. There is no rea-
son to look for any material decrease
in the local demands for charity this
winter. and the Associated Charities
should be kept sufficiently in funds
during the next three or four months
to ena Bile it to meet all calls for help.

The Session and the Program.

Probably no effort to arrange a program
for the session will be made until after
the President has addressed Congress.
How far will the democrats be willing
TO leave matters to him?
Any amount Of gossip is circulate
Some stories hint at a revolt against the
Presidents further domination. The
question is asked, Did the elections not
warn Congress? Did they not, indeed. In
struct Congress to sit up and take notice
fo- itself?
Undoubtedly there Is some discomfort in
democratic circles on this point The new
leadership has not pleased everybody.
Here where a candidate for the Senate
or the House was defeated; there where
patronage has done mischief: and yonder
where things are out Of joint generally.
there are rumblings which may or may
not cause commotion.
But no leader stands out in this gossip;
and no revolt ever succeeded without a
leader. Somebody must show the way,
and direct operations. Nothing is more
futile than leaderiess protest. Even a
mob, to succeed, must have leader.
In this case strong man Is necessary.
For. whatever mag be thought Of the
election results, the President is still a
powerful factor in affairs. He still has
patronage Of value to distribute. and is
still of the disposition to place it where
it will do him the most good. And, more
over, he has 1915 in view.
Those numerals hedge him. about. If
he is broken down now or soon, his party
breaks with him. As respects the next
presidential race, he is the party. If it
cannot re-elect him, It's doom is sealed.
There is not another man In it who could
carry the standard If discredited to
victory.
| Disgruntled democrats of prominence
and influence are likely to think twice
therefore, before making themselves
ugly in the open toward the President
They cannot injure him without injurine
the party. and they cannot injure the
party without injuring themselves. Ant
the first law of nature holds good in
politics
1t may be that the President Of his OWE
motion may decide not to drive as hard
at the short as he did at the long ses-
sion. An open revolt in Congress may
not be necessary to bring him to reason
and moderation, as his critics view the
situation. He may have read the election
returns in something Of the same ligh'
his critics did. He may not need such a
nudge as is suggested in the gossip ol
| the day.

Fer things that never will appear
Unto our fellow men.
The road you travel may seem rough
And hope be far away,
But still you throw a merry bluff
And struggle to be gay.
For well you know that if you claim

You're due to quit the busy game
And sink into despair.

Lies bitterness and guile
The wise endeavor to conceal
The hurt beneath the smile
So let us join to seek anew
The passing thought that cheers,
The rainbow gently cleaning through
The mist of human tears
Let's boldly lift the song again

Our joys are for our fellowmen:
Our sorrows are our own.

The Districts Surplus.

Under the strict terms of the organic
act which provides for the present sys-
tenn of financing the District of Column
bia a surplus of District revenues Is
impossible, inasmuch as in theory such
revenues are raised only to cover one
half of the appropriations made by
Congress, the other half being PAID OUT
of the United States Treasury. In prac-
tice, however. it has been found neces-
sary to appropriate on the basis OF the
prospective revenues of the District'
and heretofore, up to recent periou'
Congress has matched the Districts 8
tax money dollar for dollar. with few
notable exceptions of organic act viola
tions- Latterly tendency has pre-
vailed to reverse the conditions so that
the appropriations are made to MT With
in the prospective District revenues
and to apply the surplus of local tax
funds to extraordinary projects on
virtual cash basis and to the repay
ment of certain debts alleged against
the District.
1t is expected that there Will be a
surplus of District tax money after the
appropriations for the next fiscal year
are made, over and above all author-
lied expenditures for current mainten-
ance and for the extinction OF hoatfng
indebtedness The Star has always re-
garded such a surplus as an anomaly
and an injustice, for it Is obvious to
any student Of District matters that
the municipal needs are far from being
met, and that as long as there is any
legitimate need. either in the way OF
current maintenance or permanent I'M
provement. every penny of District tax
money should be expended. with a
matching of federal money on the half
and-half basis
If there is surplus in the budget of
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1916. it
should be applied first to any floating
Indebtedness chargeable against the
District. If then there should be sur
plus, the money which Congress will
not permit to be expended on the half
and-half basis should be, as is now
tentatively proposed, invested in some
manner to meet the Districts half Of
way Is found whereby this debt, which now
amounts roughly to six and half mill
lions, can be liquidated in whole or in part
before the year Of maturity. this use of
the Districts surplus will be especially
advantageous. saving a large sum in in
terest. If, however, tie bondholders in
sist upon their full term Of investment
the District can at least be increasing
its sinking fund more rapidly than the
present ratio of appropriation permits.
and will at some time in the COM
paratively near future stand fully
ready to discharge its half of the debt
under the law.
This suggestion of a method of dis
posing Of the Districts surplus is all
subject, however, to the contention
that there is no warrant whatever In
the law or in the existing municipal
conditions for the existence Of such .
