The Geographic Society.

The decision of the National Geographic
Society to erect an auditorium for the
delivery of science talks is in line with
the progressive policy which has gov
erned that valuable organization through
out its existence. 1t is today one of the
foremost scientific bodies in the world,
and Washington is proud to be the scene
OF its headquarters and its chief &C
dvities. Its membership is world encir-
cling and its activities in the line of re-
search and exploration have added rich
ly to the store of knowledge, while its
publications have stimulated popular in
terest in the lands and peoples of the
earth
With an auditorium of its own OF
proper size and suitable accommodations
the society's usefulness in the diffusion
of knowledge will be greatly increased.
So high is the standard of its lectures
that the demand for tickets is always in
excess of the facilities, an unfortunate
condition which it is hoped to remedy
through the enterprise just undertaken
Founded little more than a quartz,
of century ago. the National Geographic
Society has developed from a small, OBJ
scure organization into a prime facto,
for the increase of popular knowledge
1t has been well managed, on the broad.
est plane of usefulness. and in recent
years it has contributed largely to the
character of the capital as one of the
scientific centers of the world.

The Districts Insane.

Controller Downey's decision regarding
the care of the criminally insane in the
government hospital is gratifying re-
lief from the tendency manifested in Con-
gress during recent years to saddle the
District with every conceivable charge
and expense. The controller rules that
the District is not liable to the govern
ment hospital for the maintenance of the
criminal insane in its jurisdiction. and the
appropriation act for the support of the
INDECENT insane of the District in that
institution is not liable for such a charge.
He also rules that the District is entitled
to credit in the government hospitals ac-
counts for the care and maintenance of
the Districts insane to the extent that
the hospital is reimbursed for board and
maintenance from pension payments.
The controller finds that the laws free
the District of the responsibility and cost
which the hospital authorities have
sought to impose upon 1t. His interpre-
tation Of the statutes is to be appreciated
the more fully because Of late legislative
"discoveries' of alleged arrears on the
part Of the District in this matter Of in
sane hospital charges. For this judgment
the District is deeply grateful. 1t has
been mulcted in SO many ways that any
measure of equity is to be welcomed
warmly.

associable with the Secretaryship of State
by reason OF general ability would care
to exchange his present office for that.
All are well employed where they are.
Outside Of official circles material is
limited. Col. Harvey, often referred to as
the "discoverer'' Of Mr.. Wilson. is not
in sympathy with the administration. Had
he been. and in Mr.. Wilson's favor as
formerly. he would probably now be
doing ambassadorial service somewhere
in Europe He is ''out Of it, definitely.
The same is true of Mr.. Watterson. who
has enjoyed a national reputation for
forty years. For a time he was wilson
man. and is now supporting the admins
tration in all but its Mexican policy. But
he is not persona grata at the Wnlte
House and therefore not to be considered
in connection with cabinet ONCE, well
as he would look at the cabinet table.
If Mr. Bryan was necessary to Mr.. Will
son at the sta-t-and he was-is he not
far more so now? If it would have been
a blunder in Mr.. Wilson not to invite MIN
into the cabinet-and it would-would II
not be far greater blunder to force him
out, or even permit him to retire. now?
1t is easy enough in the Impotence ana

Bryan. and saddle on him burdens NOT pc

Mr.. Bryan.

It seems not to occur to those demo-
Gratis who urge the retirement of Mr..
Bryan from the cabinet to suggest his
successor. To whom would the President
turn in such a case?
Mr.. Clark would not be available be-
cause of his present office-which he
would not surrender for any cabinet
pertfoiio-and for the additional reason
that in the Panama canal controversies
State Department matter-he parted COM
pany with Mr.. Wilson. His usefulness to
his party and to the country, and his per-
sonal comfort, lie in his remaining in
Congress.
For the same reason Mr. Underwood
would not be available. March next he
will enter on a full term in the Senate-a
place he has admirable equipment for
and he too parted company with Mr. VIII
son on the canal matter. Moreover, the
tariff is by no means settled. The Law
bearing his name is not working well,
and may have to be changed in the near
future, and Mr.. Underwood should be in
Congress to take a hand when the time
comes.

Tammany Wins.

At the conference of democratic state
leaders in New York yesterday. held to
discuss matters relating to the coming
state campaign. the proposition favored
by Tanlmany Hall carried by a vote OF
rs to an-nearly four TO one. OF course.
What could the democratic PARTY of New
York do without Tammany? When in the
past fifty years has it won a victory IN
the state without the aid of TammanS?
What would he the effect this year II
Tammany sulked" Democratic prospects
are poor as matters stand. Without Tam
many the party would disappear from the
equation.
Tammany is tough. both of hide and
reputation. 1t has stood. and can stand,
good deal of abuse from those who. per-
fectly willing to train with it and accept
the fruits of its activity, want it to re-
main under cover. Reformers feel en-
barrassed when found in Tammany's
company in broad daylight.
Of late. Tammany has shown ambition
and made progress in political power.
. Several years ago it extended its domi-
nation to Albany. 1t added state control
to its trophies and ran things from Buff
falo to the Battery. Smash resulted both
at Albany and in Greater New York. The
Dix failure was followed by the sulzer
failure, and in the mayoralty election the
Tammany candidate was overwhelmed.
Still. Tammany survives. Mr.. Murphy
is still on deck. He was at the confer
ence yesterday. serene, and even in jovial
mood The. anti-Tammanyites could not
ruffle him. He knew in advance what the
result would he. and awaited it without
swaSser.
Gov. Glynn has been censured for not
breaking with Tanmany. Friends of the
national Observation-Disclosures of them in
federal office in New York-have wanted
him to use his power as governor for
Tammany's discontinue.
We probably see in yesterdays show of
hands reason for the governors course.
He knew the situation Why break with
Tammany when if nominated he would
have to depend on Tammany for his only
chance of election" With his head in the
Tigers mouth. why not be civil to the
brute? And SO he has been-very civil.
In New York affairs, Tammany cannot
be concealed. 1t exists, it knows its pow
er, and it takes advantage Of every oppor-
tunity to make that power felt.
The voters of New York ought to know
by this time what a victory achieved
largely through the instrumentality OF
Tammany means. And 1t is in their pow
er to keep Tamnany away from the crib
where provender is kept. So that when
ever in an attempt to execute little
huggermugger they vote Tammany In un-
der another name they get about what
they deserve. Tammany. under any sort
OF leadership. is out for the pickings

Business.

Business never is, but always to be-
blessed, Which fact is making business
tired.
First. the tariff Business was as
sured that everything would be all right
as soon as revision of the Payne law was
out of the way 1t would then have no
difficulty in adjusting itself to the new
schedules. So business waited. hoping
for the best. But the revision did not
produce the promised effect BUSINESS
did not feel spur to renewed ACTIVITY.
Second, the currency. Business was as
sured that everything would be all right
as soon as a new currency law was on
the books. Then nothing could prevent
a return of confidence. and everything
would be in full swing again. So ousi-
ness, as it could do no other continued
TO wait But the new currency law did
not produce the promised effect. In tact,
there is much uneasiness about how
II is going to work. The board of con-
troll has not vet been confirmed by the
Senate.
Third. the trusts. Business must not
expect too much, if anything. before ad-
ditional regulation of the trusts mad
been attended to. That had been prom
ised at Baltimore. and the promise must
be redeemed. Business must remember
that Rome was not built in day. Re-
publican misrule had continued for SIX
teen years running, and the fruits were
with us. Give the democracy little
time. Heavens above! After trust leg
islation had been added to tariff and to
currency legislation nothing could longer
hinder a return of prosperity.
And there business is today. Congress
does not want to proceed. but the Presi-
dent insists that it SHALL and weeks. and
probably months, must elapse before the
new measures are on the books.
Remembering its two disappointments.
business is asking itself about the proper
course if it meets with another disap-
pointment The new trust regulation
may not produce what is being promised
in its name If 1t should not; If the
great trilogy-tariff revision. currency
revision, and additional trust regulation
should not light the fires in the dark
ened furnaces, start the still wheels to
turning again. and guide pay envelopes
into tens of thousands of empty pockets,
what then? Upon what other measure
must business wait? And how long will
it be before the sun shines again, and
business be able to rake the meadows,
sweet with hay?
Except that the matter is so nomen-
tous and far reaching. one might drop
into slang and exclaim, 1T Is to laugh"
But what affects business calan1itously
is no laughing matter. however absurd
it makes political prophets and certain
legislators appear. The interests Of bust
ness are the interests Of the whole peo-
pie.

Suburban Fireworks Regulation.

The people Of Clarendon, Va, are to
be congratulated upon securing court
approval Of an ordinance designed to
lessen the fireworks evil in that vicin-
ity on the Fourth Of July. The ordt-
nance itself leaves something to be
desired in the way Of regulation and
restriction. but 1t is an Improvement

forcement will undoubtedly greatly

more safe and sane in that suburb
than heretofore.

time. Teach your girl to swim. It will
make her supple, 1.-the and strong. and
self-reliant. For when she is beyond
her depth she has only her own arms
and legs and nerve to depend on. And
knowing how to swim may save her
life. Practically every one that was

you do not know already. You cannot
be too old nor too young to enjoy it.
1t Is the best fun in the world. and II
