Grant Monument Delay.

The delay in the completion of the
Grant memorial is explained in the
correspondence between Col. Harts,
engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds, and Henry M.
Shrady, the sculptor who has the con-
tract for the memorial. The contract
was entered into with the sculptor in
the summer of 1908. Various exten-
sions of time have been allowed by
the Grant memorial commission, and
the promise is that further time ex-
tension is being considered beyond
the date set for the completion of the
memorial, which is August 10 of this
year. The original time limit would
appear to have been very much of
miscalculation, because the sculptor,
in his reply. so far from admitting
that there has been any unreasonable
delay, maintains that the progress on
the work has not only been satisfac-
tory, but says that "the history of art
does not show any such enormous
labor of this character ever having
oeen accomplished before in such
short period of time" The sculptu-
raj work so far completed ,or practi-

Membership Campaigns.

The Young Women's Christian As

campaign, and is putting into it that
degree of labor, enthusiasm and ner-
vous energy which. as everybody
knows who has had anything to do
with these membership campaigns,
must be expended for the accomplish
ment of results. The revival spirit
seems to be in the air. Christian or
ganizations seem just now not to be
waiting at the door to give strangers
and recruits q welcome, but are go
ing out into the world after them.
They are not waiting for volunteers.
bat are going about enlisting men
and women in the good cause This
aggressive propaganda is generally
considered good for the Christian or
ganixations, and is certainly good for
those persons who are brought within
the comforting influence of Christian
surroundings. The recent member
"Trip campaign of the Young Mems
chflstian Association produced nota-
bly, cheering results, and the reports

The people OF Washington have no
quarrel with the sculptor, though they
are interested in the completion of
the monument at the earliest practica-
Bile time The miscalculation as to
the time required for the completion
OF this memorial was slight mistake
compared with the blunder committed
in the selection of the site. The To-
cation, of the monument can never
come to be considered fitting. but it
may be improved by the removal OF
the Botanic Garden to Rock Creek
Park and the tearing down of all the
buildings between Pennsylvania Ave
nue. and the Mall. and the restoration
of that section OF the city to the cen-
trail park of the capital for landscape
purposes and as sites for national

A National Guard Armory.

The proposal to increase the rent
al of the Center market armory
again calls attention to the fact that
the present armory is inadequate and
unsuited to the purposes of the Ma
tional Guard, and furnishes an addi-
tional argument for new govern
ment-owned building which will pro-
vide accommodation for all the Ma
tional Guard troops in the District
and contribute to the efficiency and
strength of the guard by encourag-
ing enlistment, re-enlistment and
regularity in attendance at drill and
other forms of instruction.
The inadequacy of the Center mar
ket armory and of the other ar
mories of the National Guard of the
District has been reported on and
condemned for years by the COM
manding general, successive adjutants
general and by regimental, battalion
and company officers. A proper ar
mory has been agitated for, site
chosen, plans prepared and cost es-
timated, and bills have been intro
duced in Congress and hearings held
by committees. The measure has
had the support of the National
Guard, the business bodies of the
city, the division of militia affairs
of the War Department and Of nu-
merous friends in both branches of
Congress. 1t has never encountered
very much specific opposition. The
need of the armory has been ad-
mitted on all sides, but the support
of the proposal has not yet been
able to overcome the indifference to
the subject on the part of consid-
erable number Of legislators. Per-
sistence in the prosecution of the
armory proposal must some day bear
fruit. .-..

better to continue the talk about the

up the weather and talk about that,
than hustle through, higgledy-pig-

lion or more dollars. Such an enor-
nous sum divided among such a Va
riety OF important objects should re-
ceive every consideration in detail
by those who hold the purse for the
people.
There are two reasons Tor this.
At the last session Congress set the
pegs in the way of voting supplies.
and was lectured roundly by leading
democratic newspapers. 1t was re-
minded of the promises on which it
had obtained power. and told that i'll
future it must give heed TO the ques-
ton OF economy.

To seize the pruning knife and run
amuck in race against time would
be poor policy. either from the pub
lie or the party point OF view.
Besides. there are directions IL
which larger sums than ordinary
should be expended. 1t has been
shown from the highest sources that
our present national defense scarce
" deserves the name. Inadequate III

ter we look for advice War is in

which would be ludicrouS il IT were
not so alarming.
Why not, then. give the proper
time to measures which mean so
much? Two months instead of two
weeks should be devoted to them.
Had the greater part of this short
session been consumed IN taking
stock of our national needs the coun-
try would have been we'll served. But

position OF the time, and the result
is a blockade as the end approaches.

An American Merchant Marine.

Let us not lose sight OF the main
proposition. We must have an
American merchant marine-not for
4 short time. to tide us over an
emergency. but for all time, 10 facill-
tate the growth everybody is expect
ing and desiring for this country.
We are today helpless as to carry
ing power on the blue water. and
shall remain so until sSan1- jolicy IS
devised and applied to give us per
manentiy the strength there we need.
The nations which before the wEr
began had established great interests
as ocean carriers-controlling fleets
OF valuable merchant ships-were
Great Britain. Germany and Japan.
We were paying them annually enor-
nous sums in the way of freight
rates.
Their policy was straight subsidy.
They made ii successful. and it had
the approval OF the people OF those
countries, who were Fronting
largely.
When the war is over, those three
nations will resume as rapidly as
possible the full activities the war
interrupted. Great Britain and Japan
have thus far not lost heavily. Ger
r,,y,s OCEAN commerce has been all
but completely suspended.
OF course, subsidy will again be the
encouraging feature of those ner-
chant fleets. What has worked SO
we'll will be expected to continue to
yield good results.
Now those are the nations we are
TO meet in our ambition and en-
deayor to do our own sea-carryIng
business. and to bid for portion OF
the outside worlds. Would subsidy.
which has done so much for them.
iniure US? Could we not apply the
policy without creating conditions OF
graft and scandal!
For years, until now. the subject OF
n merchant marine has been aca-
demic with US. Both parties have
talked it, but neither has done more
than talk. Everybody professed
desire to see the Stars and Stripes
on merchant ships again in every
leading port in the world. but means
10 that end have not been forth
coming.
We must do something more than
talk now. A situation has been pro-
duced whose lesson has been borne
in on us with startling and alarm
ing meaning. We have no merchant
feet, and we need one nightly. And
We shall need one nightly after this
war is over.
If the word subsidy is a bugaboo,
let the fact be established by some
thing more than campaign assertion.
If not; if there is positive and GER
tain harm for US in subsidy as a
policy. then by what other means
may we hope to rival those nations
on the sea whose strength and sue
cess have been produced by subsidy?

An Old Story.

my neighbors have grown trouble
some," said Grandpa Leolith,
A man of prehistoric type whom
some have called a myth.
Il long for peace, which l consider
every mortals right"
CThis is free translation. His own
words were less polite.)
"At last" he said, II have attained
the object of my life.
I've made a weapon which must put
an end to human strife.
I've bound stone unto a club. Its
force none can withstand,
And universal peace must reign
with me in full command"
Things looked right we'll for grand
pa, till at length there came a
time,
Made memorable by the work of old
Prognathous Prime.
Said he, The tryannies which now
we suffer are severe.
I'll fix those old-time despots with
my modern shield and spear.
With an equipment such as this, the
havoc we can make
w Ah SodoS AuS ot0utSoS hkHtCI
back and quail and quake.
With threats like this at hand,
they'll scarcely dare to disagree,
And if they do they'd better let me
be the referee"
The bow and arrow man drew near
and said he'd make the scene
So terrible that men would seek
henceforth to live serene.
Gunpowder came, and dynamite. with
engines grim and great,
Each guaranteed to bring at last a
calm, uplifted state.
Yet on our seas volcanoes ride with
menace to the world,
And dire destruction from the dis
tant sky is fercely hurled.
And still we hear the boast that
echoed bravely in the past:
Mankind has learned the lesson and
this war shall be the last!"

The Dlookade.

Two weeks from today, at noon.
the Sixty-thifd Congress expires.
Not the Presidents strong will, nor
the persuasive power of the fiji
buster, can postpone the demise. The
decree is written in the Constitution.
How should the time be employed?
1t is suggested that the ship bill be
laid aside. all talk about cloture for
the Senate ended, and the supply
bills put through at top speed. Pro
vide for the support of the govern
uent, and let everything else go
over.
The advice sounds we'll, but runs
counter to good policy. 1t would be
