the army is At our doors. Surely there
us some way by which. with co-cpera-
tion, of State, District and. If neces-
sary. Federal authorities, these dis
orderly, lawbreaking gangs of the pro-
fessionally unemployed" can be broken
up and dispersed. They are not COM
posed, in any part, of honest workmen
temporarily without employment Those
men are busy looking for work and, it
is to be hoped, will find it before many
weeks. The Kelly armies, on the other
hand are seeking to avoid work and it
is for that purpose they are banded to-
gether. 1t is by preying upon the mis-
placed sympathies of tender-hearted peo-
pie, or extorting means for them to
move on" that they are enabled to
progress. >
They should be dealt with sternly by
State and municipal officials before they
become a more serious problem by rsa-
son of numbers and organization.

Scatter the Hoboes.

Alarmed as we are over the reported
intentions of Capt. KeIly's army and
other bands of hoboes to seize a few
arsenals and then continue their march
to Washington and capture it. there is
another danger which this voluntarily
unemployed tribe threatens and which
causes us even greater concern. Mai.
Sylvester promises to swear in a few
extra policemen. quite sufficient no doubt
TO protect It's from invasion and cap
ture. But how about feeding the sew
eral hundred tramps and petty thieves
recruited all along the route from CAL
ifornia? 1t is not the duty of the peo-
pie of Washington and they should not
be called upon to support in idleness
for month or more lot of worthless
loafers, as they were compelled to do a
score of years ago when Coxey's army
came to town on similar hopeless and
foolish errand.
The time to deal with the problem
is now and not few months later when

A sl..b.ri.s c.rs.ey Law.

| Considering the great pressure, unde
which Congress worked last year t
enact a currency law, and in view o
the many claims of benefits to resul
from it put forward by the party il
power, the long delay in putting it ii
Operation is unaccountable.
| Last autumn passage of the exrrenc,
Ibill, handmaiden to the tariff and in
come tax laws, was being urged as :
matter of vital necessity to the nations
prosperity. Yet It has been on thu
statute books three months and nc
tangible progress has been made, so far
as the public can recognize, toward
starting its machinery. Evidently the
administration has not lost confidence in
its efficacy, because it was pointed to
with pride couple of weeks ago as
part of the rich fruits of President Viii
sons first year in Office. Is it possible
that it is regarded as effective and bene-
fetal merely because it is law. that it is
productive of good by the simple fact
that it exists? Or can it be that the
country's present prosperity is consid-
cred SO great that it needs no further
stimulus.
Surely three months is a more than
reasonable length of time for perfecting
the details and putting into operation a
law which, though vast in scope and eff
feet, required scarcely so long to pre-
pare and enact.
Naturally the people. who had been led
TO expect so much from this measure,
and who have been eagerly awaiting the
opening of the throttle which would
start the wheels, are beginning to Won
der what the reason for the delay can
be. Where are the reserve banks to be
located? Who are the men who. are
to compose the all important reserve
board?
As for prosperity, there are no indi,
cations that a little more of il would
do any harm; the country is quite able
to stand whatever increase would re-
suit from the operation of the new law.
Besides, from standpoint of politics,
it ought to have chance to do its very
best before the Congressional election,
now less than eight months off.
Why not start it up and see how il
works.
The Washington herald., 1914-03-20
Let the Inquiry Go On.

There is no actual need for a com.
mission of any sort to find out what i:
the matter with the District of Colum-
bia. There is nothing the matter with
it, though it must be admitted it is
threatened. Its growth and welfare arc
threatened by an epidemic which is al
present confined to the House of Rep
resentatives. If any commission is
needed it is commission to inquire into
the ailnent of the House District Com
mittee and, after that has been dag
nosed, to transform itself into a clear
ing house commission to assort the mass
of conflicting legislation, now pending,
affecting the Nations Capital and, if pos
sible, to ascertain just what it is all in
tended to accomplish. If all the bills re-
ported to the House by the District
Committee were enacted into law Wash
ington would then indeed be a proper
subject for commission in lunacy.
However. the House District Com
mittee voted yesterday in favor of a
commission to inquire into the fiscal re-
lations between the Capital and the Fed
eral government and into every phase
of the government of the District of
Columbia, not overlooking suffrage pro-
posals. Aside from the suffrage ques-
ton the task of such a commission
should be neither difficult nor protract-
ed. The entire fiscal and governmental
history of Washington is written plainly
in legislation, in Congressional reports
and reports of the District Commits
sioners and in Federal taxation statistics.
Perhaps, however, it will be considered
desirable to obtain this testimony by
word of mouth in the presence of law
yers and stenographers, and to do this
and listen to arguments for and against
suffrage means an all summer session
by the proposed commission. Wash
ington has no objection.
The formation of the commission has
not yet been discussed, though. of
course, there are two or three conflict
ing plans under consideration. One, it
is understood, contemplates a commits
sion composed solely of members of
Congress. Justice would seem to die
tate that Washington should have rep
resentation, but as Washington can dc
nothing except exercise its right of pc
tition such representation may be dc,
nied.
If there is hope to cling to it is that
attempts to abrogate the half-and-half
principle will be suspended. pending the
investigation and report.

A couple OF days later appeared the re-

he must pay $1,000 postage on 10000

is that the speech was never printed in

They are going to try to cure the in
sane patients in an Illinois hospital with
music. Not only are the lunatics to be
listeners, but they are to be the per-
formers as well. This certainly looks
like a dangerous experiment. Such
sounds may cure insane people, but if
they should drive all the sane people in
the neighborhood crazy an endless chain
system of cure might be the result.

Ger introduced it.
1t is tempting to dwell on the past
and point out how in 1880 our boards of
health amounted to nothing or next to
nothing. In the city of Boston there was
no board of health at all until a ter
rible epidemic of smallpox in 1872 fright
ened the people into the establishment
of a good board of health, and since
that time the city has been practically
free from smallpox. say, within the
memory of men and women still in mid
die life, this was the state OF affairs; !;
but how different today-our cities and
towns and States bristle with boards of
health, such as they are.
Although we have not any national
board of health so named. we have a
national board of health. in fact, in the
United States Public Health Service, the
chief of which, Dr. Rupert Blue, is a
man who has done more to keep the
bubonic plague out of the United States
than any other man living; man who
worked in Chinatown and in the other
places of our towns and cities on the
Pacific Coast, checking the bubonie
plague there so that it has not yet ap-
peared on the West Side of Chicago or
the East Side of New York or the North
Side of Boston, as it might have ap-
peared but for his careful. able and
scientific administration.
