TO SEND DATA TO WASHINGTON

A resolution has been adopted by the

Mental Hygiene Research.

BY the organization of the Wash
ington committee on mental hygiene,
which was accomplished here the
other day. steps have been taken to
put the capital in line with an i'm
portant national movement The
study of nervous diseases, which bear
a close relationship to the high ten
sion of present day existence, has
become one of the most clearly de-
fined lines of hygienic research, and
some of the most capable of modern
scientist. are at work seeking causes
and means of cure in an effort to
combat the tendency toward over
strain. The Washington committee
should be in one respect the most
important center of this study, for
it will be in close cooperation with
the governments scientific bureaus
dealing with the question of public
health. Here center statistics from
all part. of the United States, and
here are opportunities for the de-
velopment of methods of treatment
which will perhaps be of value else
where. In this movement all who
are interested in the problem of the
mental health of the people should
cooperate.

sion, and that the contents will be
given to the public in due time.
When that time comes, whether war
news is still running or not, that
letter will find space on the front
page of the newspapers. So much
has been said about that oneterm
plank and its object, Mr.. Wilson 5
interpretation, long wished for. will
be sure of attention.
Senator Lewis of Illinois expects
not only the denomination but the
reelection of Mr.. Wilson. In an in
terview yesterday with a Star re-
porter he put the matter in this way ::
81 believe that if business condi-
tons continue to improve IN this
country the democrats will win. And
our strong argument will be just that
argument which the republicans used
to beat us democrats when President
Mckinley was candidate for re-
election in 1000 1t will be: Let well
was beginning to be more prosperous
after four years struggle. The co,ln-
try as a whole was opposed to the
Philippine policy OF the republican
administration, and we democrats
attacked that policy and made our
campaign on that issue. But the re-
publicans contented themselves with
saving, Let well enough alone, and
that won for them
The senator's analogy does not
analogue In 1000 the country was
not just beginning to be more pros
porous after four years struggle
Prosperity had begun promptly upon
Mr. Mckinley's appearance in the
White House Business had doomed

Ding1ey tariff law Our short war
with Spain had thrown domestic
matters but very little out of plumb.
Everything in 1000. both domestic
and foreign. was well enough" and
had been for three years, and hence
the decision of the people at the polls
to "let it alone" There was every
reason to fear confusion and bust
ness depression in case of change.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Wilson will be

ness conditions meanwhile improve.
If the war shall have closed. and the
wheels of industry are turning and
labor is employed at good wages
again. the democratic spellbinders
will have a good text. But whether
capital and labor can be induced to
forget and forgive what they have
undergone during the adninistra-
tons first two years of power. and
persuaded to believe that hard
times will come again no more" is
a question.

Respecting the Uniform.

The principle that there must be
no discrimination against the uniform
of the United States in the matter of
admissions to places of public enter
tainment was again given practical
recognition yesterday in the Police
Court, when the proprietor of a dance
hall in this city was fined for the
denial of admission to a member of
the 9Th Cavalry Band, stationed at
Fort Myer, on account of his wearing
the prescribed costume of that serv-
ice There would seem to be no rea-
son for misunderstanding this rule,
which is based upon federal statute
and is justified by every considera-
ton. Cases have occurred through
out the country, and in every instance
the law has been enforced, save pos
sibly where the complainant has
been shown to be subject to exclu-
sion on other than the ground OF
wearing the national uniform. Any
we'll behaved person who is in the
service of the United States is en-
titled to precisely the same privi-
leges as the rest of the public. There
should be no prejudice against the
uniform of the United States. The
enlisted men of the Army and Navy

Hints From South America.

Elsewhere in The Star editorial cor
respondence analyses the fiscal rela-
tons of Brazil to Rio and OF Argen-
tina to Buenos Aires. and compares
these relations with those of the
United States to the National Capital.
The example of Argentina and Brazil
in the treatment of their capitals has
been cited as furnishing proof of the
wisdom Of abandoning the half-and-
half plan of municipal maintenance for
Washington and of adopting in place
of it scheme of indefinite proportion
ate contribution, accompanied by ma
tionalization" of the District of Co.
lumbia The lessons taught by the
records of the South American capt.
tails urge us to greater liberality in
capital upbuilding on national lines
solely at national expense through
other appropriation bills than the Dis
trict bill. as in carrying out the COM
prehensive park extension plan or in
retaining and adjoining the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue. Such
expenditures are entirely outside OF
municipal maintenance under the halt
and-half plan, and are made literally
or illiberally as Congress DEGREES en-
tirely regardless of the municipal half
and-half arrangement The opinion
that Uncle Sam could not on national
lines be as wisely liberal in upbuild-
ing his capital as Brazil or Argentina
without repudiating his self-imposed
obligation to contribute a definite
proportion to municipal expenditures
results from a confusion of the two
kinds Of outlay, national and mu-
nicipal. Study of the examples Of Rio
and Buenos Aires discloses that they
teach that reputation Of the half-and-
half plan is neither necessary, wise
nor fair

and Marine Corps are as well be-
haved as the average of civilians.
Their service should be rated as hon
orable, and their presence should be
welcomed in any assemblage. The
spirit of discrimination that causes
these occasional instances of exclu-
sion is unpatriotic and tends to dis
courage service. The fact that this
country is at peace and is likely to
remain so should not cause any dit
ference in treatment. When war IS
in progress the men in uniform are
heroes, and they are welcomed with
acclaim everywhere. 1t would be sad
commentary upon the patriotism OF
the American people if during peace
the soldier or sailor or marine could
by any possibility be regarded as in
a separate class, unworthy OF asso-
citation with his fellow citizens.

Wilson and Mckinley.

Mr.. Palmer of Pennsylvania shares
in the general opinion that Mr.. Will
son will be renominated without OPP
position; that the one-term express
sion in the Baltimore platform will
cut no figure in the next democratic
convention; that the democracy will
feel free to follow precedent and util-
ize its strongest asset. Nothing is
more persuasive. Politicians of all
parties expect such action, and the
republicans are preparing for it.
Something new and of much inter-
est is disclosed in the statement that
Mr.. Wilson has written letter on
the subject Of the Baltimore express

Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.. Platt 1t was
a little pout, intended to please. and
probably had that effect The mean
ing conveyed was like this: You get
everything you want. You don't

his power and skill?

appeared to be madness. The other

suavity.
1t was an interesting play of fate
that brought these two men together
in the summer of 1893. Each needed
the other in his business, and each,
therefore. was willing to make con-
cessions to the other Negotiations

Taking the record by and large. as
disclosed in the correspondence that

Park Invaders Busy.

From the New YORK Times.
Signs of preparation for a new at
tempt to invade Central Park are plain
enough to justify a speedy mobiliza-
ton OF the forces of righteousness.
The enemy Is always wakeful. and he
has lately become visibly alert. The
protection of Central Park is a matter
demanding continual watchfulness.
Scarcely a year has passed since 1t was
opened in which some scheme of en-
croachment has not been discovered
and checked. If the good people of this
ely had not been determined to keep
the park for park purposes only It
would have been given over long ago
to macadamiZed parade grounds. arm
cries, free theaters. swimming pools
and music halls. The would-be in
vaders seem to learn nothing by ex-
perience. They come forward blithely
each time with proposals which they
profess to consider entirely new.
