Washington Must Fight.

There is no reason 10 doubt tha
Washington's material interests ar,
safe in the hands of the Senate. TIL,
District of Columbia Committee in tn,
Upper House is composed of men o.
sound Judgment, with nothing to pre-
vent them from exercising it. They
have no real or imaginary grievance:
against Washington or any of its citi'
) zens; their craftsmanship is not of the
kind to lend itself to purposes of per-
sonal revenge, to the injury of an en-
tire community that one or two indi-
viduals may suffer. Senators do moi
regard their appointment to the Dis
trict Committee as constituting them a
criminal jury, but rather asa council
organized to promote the welfare OF
the District of Columbia.
1t is, therefore, quite reasonable and
safe TO trust the Senate to eliminate
the provision in the District of Co.
lumbia appropriation bill as it passed
the House, which conhscates and places
in the Federal Treasury about ST, 10000
of the revenues of the District of Co.
lumbia which the House refused to
match with another SI,5ouooo and ap-
propriate it for needed improvements in
the Capital We feel confident that the
Senate will refuse to agree to this vio-
1ation of the half-and-half principle es-
tablished in the organic act of 1873
But is it fair to saddle the Senate
with the responsibility of dealing death
to VIGOROUSLY pernicious legislation,
which has been allowed to pass the
House because there are not enough
members sufficiently interested to in
terpose barrier to the ruthless per-
secution of Washington by its enemies
on the District Committee?
No one believes that the American
people are in sympathy with a policy,
the sole aim of which is to beiittle the
National Capital and cast suspicion
upon the motives of those who seek
to build it up. The Representatives in
the House of the vast majority of citi-
zcns of the various States are not do
ing their duty, are not carrying out the
will of the people when they permit a
few of their colleagues, for personal
reasons, to push through legislation in
imical TO the progress and welfare of
Washington.
The time is approaching when active
measures must be taken to secure de-
cent treatment for Washington in the
House of Representatives. Continued
submission to the tyranny of a mere
handful of rural legislators would be
cowardly. Our civic organizations
must soon organize for a campaign

THE late Thomas Collier Platt, who
i was three times elected United States
Senator from New York. and who
was for some twenty years the absolute
boss (although he called himself the
easy boss') of the Republican organiza-
ton of New York, became at times a
quaint and interesting philosopher. 1t
was his habit after a day Of lively labor
In disciplning his organization or in
preparing for State conventions to chat
with a few friends reminiscently, and al
ways with n delightfully."- humorous philo-
sophy, For the Senator was really a true
humorist, but that was the side OF his
character of which the public had little
knowledge.
Moreover. Senator Platt was a very
careful and often an accurate student Of
human nature, discovering frequently in
the politicians with whom he was brought
In contact queer or unusual phases of
human nature which he was fond Of
nursing or stimulating SO that he could
have good opportunity for further study
of these peculiar cases.
He was also, excepting In cases where
resentments were vigorously stirred in
him, reasonably just in his dealings with
that exceedingly difficult class of men to
deal with-the politicians OF New York
state. And IL was one Oh tne causes for
his success in gaining and maintaining
absolute leadership Of his organization
that he was accustomed to approach the
politicians upon their gentler side. fatter-
ing the vanity of some, speaking kindly
words of announcement to others.
1 was sitting with Senator Platt in the
office Of the express company of which
he was for many years president, few
days before the meeting of the national
Republican convention of 1855. The Sena-
tor-he was at that time ex-senator
having resigned his seat in the Senate in
1881 not to resume it until sixteen years
later-made his business office a conyen-
lent gathering place for Politicians, espe-
ciaily those who came from other parts
Of the state.

A FISH. DINNER
Rr CAROLINE COE.

DU tAhOiliNE OVEa-----------
Even In a family where the men
work at manual labor meat on the
table once day is all that is neces-
sary to good health.
Eat more fish. A boiled fish with
parsley sauce. mashed potatoes. rye
bread, raw tomatoes and gelatine
pudding served with sugar and top
milk makes fine dinner.
Boiled Fish.
Fish having tough skin may be put
into boiling water. but trout or mack
erel should be put into warm water.
Great care should be taken not to
break the skin OF the fish, as each
crack makes an opening for the juices
to escape. Allow fish to boil gently.
Save the liquor In which fish is boil
ed-an excellent soup may be made
with the addition Of few cheap veg
etables.

flour blended with little cold milk.

smooth and creamy. Spread layer of

used.

Why Is It?

Why can't fish live out Of water?
The fish comes out of the water
where there is very little air, into the
air itself and there he dies for lack
of air Is the rather puzzling answer
to this question. But II won't seem
so curious IL we just remember that
to breathe air you must have lungs,
or some substitute for lungs, and the
fish has only gills.
But lungs would be OF no use to
him at all in the water as air which
is dissolved In water can only be
breathed through gills. IL we had
gills as well as lungs, or instead OF
lungs, We would never drown and II
the poor fish had lungs as well as
gills he could be quite happy on land
as well as water.
