Joseph Cham berlain.

Joseph Chamberlain. whose death &C.
CURED today in England, had been long
enough out of public activities to permit
a perspective upon his political career.
Nevertheless. the full measure of this
mans influence upon British development
in the nineteenth century is not possible
Of statement yet. For although he had
not been active for nearly decade, the
forces which he represented and of which
he was for many years a principal me-
dunn are still at work in the shaping of
England and its dependencies.
Roughly speaking, Joseph Chamber
lains political life divides into three
parts-hrst, that of the reformer, whose
tendencies were decidedly radical: sec
ond. that of the imperialist. whose in
fiuence was thrown strongly on the side
"f an extension of British authority and
the cementing of colonial relations with
the home country. and third. the tariff
reformer. or advocate of revenue and pro-
tective duties on imports. Few British
statesmen have covered so wide a range
Of practical. active work in their careers
a. legislators or unofficial proponents OF
public policies. In all three lines Joseph
Chamberlain displayed remarkable en-
ergy. great shrewdness, keen perception
and unhinching courage. He seldom com.
promised and did not hesitate to abandon
party affiliations when he found then
leading to paths of which he disaprroveo
the outcome.

Fill the Fourth Fund!

There is still opportunity before the
Fourth for the people of Washington to
contribute all that is needed to defray the
expenses of the community celebration
tomorrow. Money put in the mails to-
night will reach the treasurer of the
committee in the morning, and as the sun
rises upon the capital, which would not
have existed but for the Declaration OF
Independence signed July 4, 1I16, the
money needed to mark the anniversary In
an appropriate manner will be all in hand
if only 700 citizens send a dollar apiece
There are many times 700 who have
not contributed. Indeed. not 100 have
given, and thus the burden of the expense
of a celebration that will be enjoyed by
many thousands has fallen upon few.
Every parent in Washington owes 1t to
himself and his children to help along
the enterprise by a personal contribution.
1t is not right for those who have not
helped in this matter to refrain from
contributing now, in the light of this
prospective deficit of 500, on the ground
that the celebration will be held anyway
and that somebody or other will later
foot the bill This is really getting an
independence day commemoration under
pates in person or through the proxy
Of his children in -tomorrow's affair is a
direct debtor and owes an obligation to
give regardless of the assurance that in
case of deficit somebody will stand
the loss.
1t would be an unusual but most
gratifying experience for the celebration
committee to find in hand tomorrow
morning, before the starting of any one
of the features of the day. every dollar
needed to foot every bill. This can be
done If only comparative few of
the people of Washington who have not
vet given will come across with a
quarter or a half dollar or even more
as a tribute of patriotism and an ex-
preston of the civil spirit that is behind
the movement for a community observ-
ance of independence day.

cause. the Birmingham manufacturer
would ultimately have become premtos
Of England. This of course. Is specu-
lative. Nobody can tell what would
have happened had Gladstone and
Chamberlain remained in harmony, al
though the younger mans talents were
then recognized as marking him un-
mistakably as a leader. Possibly hA
had not enough of the tact necessary
for a successful manager OF parties
He would not yield to importunate ex-
igencies for the sake Of party ad-
vantage.
No one could ever doubt the political
bravery of Chamberlain. He showed
il in 1886, when he broke with Glad
stone on home rule and organized a
new party which was the foundation OF
the presen, unionist party Of today.
He showed it again in 1895. when he
urged the prosecution Of the Boer war
and faced violent storm of public
criticism on the score of having fos-
tered the Jameson raid in the Transvaai,
a charge against which he success
fully defended himself. 1t took courage
finally for Chamberlain to break with
BalfOur on the score VI eho SWIM
ments fiscal policy. He was then past
his physical prime, at time OF lie
when men are not likely to seek
trouble, but he parted with the prime
minister of that period in spirit OF
regretful determination that demon
strated that the implacable. uncom-
promising Joseph Chamberlain OF old
home rule times and Boer war com
plexities was unchanged.
ii is important to note that Chamber
lain, for all his Imperialism. was
forerunner of what are now known as
the Lloyd George policies. He STOOD
for free church. free land, free schools
free labor" He urged the encourage
nent of small holdings. and as far
back as 1895 he was at work upon
scheme for old age pensions. He was
intensely British, implacably hostile TO
the German influence and bitterly re-
sentful of the pin pricks" OF French
criticism in the days before the late
King Edward contrived a "rapproche-
ment- between the channel neighbors
American interest in Joseph Cham
berlain was always strong because OF
his PARTICIPATION in the fisheries con-
ference of 1883 and by reason of the
fact of his marriage to an American
woman. Though he has been absent
from the active field for some time
his occasional writings and statements
on British matters have been followed
attentively on this side.

Pensions for Faithful Service.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.


Senator Penrose has again put him
self on record as favoring pensions for
faithful government employees who have
grown old in the service. His expert
ence as chairman of the post Office
committee of the Senate gave him an
exceptional opportunity to see and
study the needs of such a system. He
has been a consistent advocate of it,
and his position is in harmony with the
humane thought of the time. Sooner
or later the government must come to
it, The government does not pay its
servants munificently. and it has nc
right to turn them out with nothing
after they have devoted the greater
part of their lives to the service. and
old age has made them unfit for more
Old age pensions are being generally
established in private business enter
prises. In many the system has exist

both to increase the efficiency of the
employee and make him contented with
his employment. 1t is not creditable to
the government that private enterprise

The President and Business,

1t is not important whether ]. P. Nor
gan called at the White House by invi-
tation, or by an arrangement suggested
by himself. The important point is that
he called, was cordially received, and re-
manned an hour. That is good deal of
time when the pressure on the President
is considered.
Another important point is that prom-
nent business men from Chicago are
scheduled for a call next week They, as
doubtless Mr.. Morgan did, will talk bust
ness with the President, and probably
with special reference to trust legislation.
This is interpreted as change in the
Presidents attitude toward the repre-
! sentatives of business, and particularly
Big Business. He did not seem to care
for their suggestions when the tariff
question or the currency question was up.
He conferred then in the main only with
politicians. and only with those politi-
clans who were in agreement with him as
to what should be done.
However that may have been, every
body should welcome the present mani
festation. The trust question touches all
kinds of business most intimately. and
business men of large experience and sue
cess have a good deal of matter it will
profit the President to hear. And now is
the time for it to be presented In the
Senate the crude and ill-shaped trust
| bills passed by the House are under ex-
animation, and may continue so for two
months to come. What the President
hears of value from business sources
therefore, will reach his friends in the
Senate through him. and may serve in
correcting some of the defects of the
| House measures.
| 1t is to be assumed that the Presiden,
has no deliberate purpose to break dowr
business: and the gable that business i.
in conspiracy to break itself down is no
worthy Of serious attention. So that il
