Shining Marks.

There was a man who always tried
To lead a life sincere;
His faults he never once denied.
He'd strive and persevere
To reach a greater moral height.
And oft his hopes grew dim,
For thoughtless people took delight
In pickin' onto him.
The town he lived in was a place
All orderly an neat.
1t did not go sporty pace
An stay up nights an treat.
But all its efforts so sincere,
They failed to make a hit
Communities both far an near
KEEP pickin' onto it.
An that's the way it goes, my son,
With nations. towns an folks
The ones that run to careless fun
Are eased along as jokes.

Don't worry when they come along

Half-and-Half Plan Just.
From the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News.
For thirty years the federal govern
ment has paid one-half the expenses
of the municipal government of WASH
ington, or rather of the District of Co
lumbia. Now 1t is proposed to do away
with this plan, a provision to effect
that end having been put into the Dig
trict of Columbia appropriation bill by
the House. What arguments were made
in behalf of this proposal we do not
know, but we should like to know, for
our imagination is unable to conceive
of any. A large percentage of the
residents of Washington, probably a
third at least, are not citizens Of
Washington. They are citizens of the
several states Indefinitely in Washing
ton as servants 81 all the states. Hence,
since they share in all the services
rendered by the municipal government
of Washington, it is not ineQuitable
for the states, acting through the fed
eral government, to pay some part of
the expense. 1t might be observed.
furthermore, that not only are the
citizens of Washington not permitted
to vote. but they are not allowed to
choose the administrative heads Of
their municipal government, that being
done by the President. Incidentally 1t
might be remarked that all the I'M
portant ordinances of Washington are
made, not by the people Of Washing
ton. but by Congress. Congress Is q
kind of board of aldermen for Wash
ington. and in the selection Of this
board Washington has no choice.

The Tariff and Politics.

Norman E. Mack, editor of the Buff
falo Times, and a democrat of national
reputation and influence, reneWs his
recent demand that the tariff be taken
out of politics." His plan is to put the
tariff into the hands of a non-partisan
commission, with power to Investigate
the whole subject of domestic and for
eign production, needs, distributions
and all that. keep track Of all changes
from time to time. and report from
time to time to the President and to
Congress, and have its work ratified.
Why not a commission to take the
moon out of the sky, heat out of fire,
cold out of ice? 1t could be as easily
done.
The tariff Is in politics to stay. 1t in
heres in politics. 1t is likewise in the
hands Of Congress to stay The Consti-
tuition places it there. And catch any
Congress parting with any portion of
the power of taxation! 1t could not if
it would. and it would not II 1t could.
One might suppose from Mr.. Mack's
proposition-and it is as well the prop
osition of others-that our revisers of
the tariff-democrats and republicans
alike-have never had the benefit of
any lHVSStlSdttoii VI tAS suOJcCt ny eA-
perts; that they have gone about their
tasks blindly and ignorantly. On the
contrary, all have had the benefit of
the fullest statistics, gathered and in
terpreted by men familiar with the
tariff from A to q.
Naturally, when the republicans have
| handled statistics gathered under their
orders, they have given them a protec-
ton application. When the democra Is
have acted on statistics gathered for
them they have applied them on anti
protection lines as far as they thought

The Senate and the District.

The Senate is now engaged in the dis
cussion of the so-called Johnson rider on
the District appropriation bill, whereby
il is proposed to abrogate the haf-and-
half principle of the organic act by SUBJ
stituting, in the perfected language
tentatively adopted yesterday on the mo-
ton of Senator Smith Of Georgia, a pro-
vision that all the appropriations for the
District shall be paid out Of the District
revenues to the extent that they are avail
able and the balance to be paid out of
federal funds, the latter in no event ex-
ceeding one-half the expenses. In the
course of the discussion yesterday and
Thursday evidence appeared that the
same influences which actuated the House
in its adoption of this provision are at
work in the Senate. But it is comforting
to note that the District is not without
vigorous and influential defenders, who
are stoutly supporting the appropriation
committees recommendation striking out
the johnson amendment. In yesterdays
discussion Senators Gallinger. Root, Shaf-
roth and Lee spoke for the maintenance OF
the half-and-half principle as an equitable
system of capital maintenance justified
by the conditions. The arguments of
supporters of the johnson amendment
were based upon the statements. figures
and alleged facts adduced in the House
debate that have been shown again and
again as fallacious in reasoning and in
accurate in fact. All the District could
want is to have the actual facts placed
side by side with the allegations Of
those who are urging the repeal Of
the organic act by direct or indirect
process.
The District objects to any repeal Of
the organic act at this time, and to this
particular sort of repeal at any time.
1t does not agree that the critics of the
act of 1878 have shown any necessity
or logical warrant for a change. On
the contrary, it knows that the condi-
tions demand continuance of equal fed
eral participation in order to conduct
the work of capital maintenance and
development upon the proper plane.
This community is not underassessed
and is not undertaXed. Its per capita
taxation is higher than in all but
very few American cities. Its tax
bearing possibilities are less than else
where because of its lack of industrial
development, due to the policy of the
United States in surrounding local
business with restrictive regulations.
1t Is in the last degree unjust suddenly,
as by the House amendment to propose
the repeal of a system of financing the
District which was adopted thirty-six
and half years ago after long delib-
Grafton and consideration of all the
equities, and which it is proposed now
to abrogate by stroke of the legis-
latiVe pen and without the suhstitu-
tion of any other plan

Omen or Covert Repeal.

The Senate amendment to the john
son rider merely converts it from di-
rect into an indirect and insidious re-
neal of the half-and-half arrangement
Its effect Is to make the johnson
amendment almost the exact leglsia-
tive equivalent of section OF last
years appropriation bill, which the
Senate eliminated.
The arguments for a covert or open
repeal of the half-and-half arrange
ment presented in the Senate are re-
hash of the inaccurate allegations of
fact and the fallacious reasoning sub
mitted in the House debates. which
have been exposed in all their mac
curacy and their fallacy score of
times by the defenders of Washington.
If our legislators will only take the
trouble to read and carefully consider
what Washington, unrepresented di-
rectly on the floor of the Senate and
House, has to say for itself in it's de-
fense, ultimate fair play for the capital
will be assured.
Prior to 1878 the nation, through Con-
gress, participated as it saw fit in capi-
tai upbuilding, with no definite equita-
BILE measurement Of it's obligation to-
ward the nations city and its people.
There resulted a neglected, shabby, dis
creditable capital; a humiliation. re-
proach and shame to the nation.
In 1873 a definite equitable standard
of national participation in capitas
building was fixed. There has resulted
one of the most attractive and most
wholesome of the worlds capitals; a
worthy object of national pride.
1t is now proposed to abandon this
we'll for both nation and capital and
under which Washington has so won
derfully prospered, and to restore so
far as any fixed degree of national
participation in capital making is con-
cerned the relations prior to 1878, dur
ing the period of the capitals neglect
and shame.
Shall the half-andchalf plan be aban-
doned, unless and until some other def
mite standard of national participation
is after thoughtful and deliberate con-
sideration substituted in it's place?
Shall the degree of national particf-
patton in capital maintenance and de-
velopment be rendered uncertain, fluc-
tuating from year to year, shifting
from too little to nothing with the
whims and caprices. the likes and dis
likes. the spites and the fancies of the
few individuals, the mere handful of
legislators, who in successive Con-
crosses are willing and are permitted
to act for the nation in dealing with
local concerns?

him the attention of his audience, ana
failed with the country at large.
The challenge to the republican party
was in very direct terms. Mr.. Wilson
declares it has not had a new idea in
thirty years. During twenty years OF
that time the country has been under
republican control. Was no progress
made under that control? If progress
was made, could 1t have been made
without new ideas? Could what Mr..
Gardner of Massachusetts calls "the
cold hand of death"-old and dead
ideas-have achieved anything of a
live nature?
Mr.. Wilson characterizes a protec-
tive tariff as "a science of selfishness.'
Is business itself anything else? AS an
Individual trades to thrive. so does a
nation. And this nation has thrived
tremendously under a protective and
never has thrived at all, under an anti
protective policy.
The Senate is showing a will of its
own, and Mr.. Wilson raps it's knuckles.
He criticises it's rules, and divides the
minority membership into three classes:
G) the misguided" (2) the blind
and (3) the Ignorant" and expresses
the opinion that the third class con-
tains the most members. Mr.. Wilson
makes polite concession by naming
no names. Republican senators must
reach an agreement among themselves
as to where individuals belong.
The Indianapolis trip sums up about
like this: Mr.. Wilson is practically an
candidate for Il second term.
He wants both the Independent vote
and the regular democratic vote. he
complimented the former yesterday IN
the highest terms. He bid for the lat
ter by taking a ride around town IN
the automobile of Thomas Taggart, one
of the most successful machine poll
ticians in the country and the boss OF
Indiana. Will anybody contend a1ter
this that Mr. Wilson is not practi-
caP' politician by nature and learning
the game fast?
Evening star., 1915-01-09
Mr.. Wilson's Keynote.

There was no quaver in the Indian
apolis keynote. but a high and confi-
dent call to battle. Mr.. Wilson believes
implicitly in himself, and in what the
democratic party has done under his
direction. That organization is now,
in his opinion, not simply an instru-
ment, but the instrument, the only in
strument, in condition to serve the
public welfare. Hence his appeal for
endorsement of the record to date, and
for united party action for his pro-
gram, legislative and other, between
now and November of next year.
If Mr.. Wilson dealt largely in asser-
ton and but little in argument the oc-
casion explains 1t. He was on the
stump. filling an engagement in an i'm
portant state in the democratic cal
culations, and his object to hearten
democrats for the next Quadrennial
trial of conclusions. That sort Of mis-
sion called for the sort Of treatment
Mr.. Wilson administered. An argu-
ment, finely drawn, might have cost

The Day Star.

Believers in portents have been doubt
less greatly perturbed by the midday ap-
pearance of Venus in the skies during
the past few days, although astronomers
are SO well acquainted with the phe-
nomenon that they are in no wise in
terested in it. So firmly established is
the thought that stars shine only at
night that the appearance of star spot
in the heavens while the sun is shining
inevitably causes wonder. Next to the
sun and moon Venus is our most familiar
visitor. She is the brightest of the
planets visible from the earth and
usually dominates the evening skies, oc-
cas:onally presenting herself as the queen
OF the early morning. About once a
year the circulation of this beauti. .uI
orb brings 1t in such relation to the sun
that it marches across the sky just
ahead of it and thus. rising as morn
ing star, it holds it's brilliance despite
the solar rays SO well as to be visible
from this point of view throughout the
day, if the atmosphere is particularly
clear, as yesterday and on several other
occasions recently.
If the midday Venus is a portent il
must be accepted as one of peace. for
surely there is woe enough in the world
today as the case now stands. Had
Venus risen before the sun and shone
during the hours of its brightness six
months ago the early coming of war
would undoubtedly have been attributed
by many to causes forecast by this un-
usual phenomenon. But now Venus
shines from the sunlit sky while the ma
tons are at war, in the midst OF a catas-
trophe such as the world has never be-
fore seen, and if it is a presage of hap
penings to come it must signify change
for the better. for save through the in
clusion of all the now neutral nations
this war Is the worst that could happen
