hand for their nomination, and in
such a case local sentiment some
times has strong influence. 1t is a
popular belief that Mr.. Lincoln could
not have been nominated in 1860 any
where but in Chicago. Mr.. Seward
was so much the stronger when the
convention met, that in any eastern
city he would have won.
At both St. Louis and Chicago the
republicans have had luck. McKin-
ley, when his party was on the anx-
ious seat, was nominated at st. Louis.
At Chicago, Garfield in 1880, Harrison
in 1888, Roosevelt in 1904, and TAFT in
1908, drew what proved on election
day to be the prize.
Next week the democratic national
committee will meet in this town to
consider in all of its aspects, the hoo
doc included, the question of the con-
vention city for next year. St. Louis
is candidate, and strongly support
ed. Chicago, as usual, is in the field.
And this time a thriving city in the
extreme south, where neither party
has ever gone-Dallas-would like to
show the brethren what she can do to
house and entertain big crowd, and
make everybody feel at home and

by Mr.. Perkins, and what is done
then will be ratified by Mr.. 'Roose-
welt. In a national sense, the firm of
Roosevelt and Perkins is the bull
moose party.
Let us suppose the bull moose con-
vention following the conventions OF
the old parties. Then, with the cam
didates and the platforms of the old
parties before them, the bull moosers
will be able to put and decide the
paramount question the more inte1li-
gently. To nominate, Or not to nomi-
nate?
If they decide not to nominate they
will play into the hands of the re-
publicans. With nothing to hold
them longer to bull moosery, they
will naturally seek their former as
sociations.
II they nominate, the nominee will
be Mr.. Roosevelt, and by. leading the
movement he will again make himself
a democratic asset; will again be in
directly supporting Mr.. Wilson,
whom in that way he elected in 1912.
1t is unnecessary to say that Mr..
Wilson's friends are putting great
store by Mr.. Roosevelt; are praising
him whenever the opportunity offers,
although he is making the President
and the latter's policies targets for
the hottest shots of censure he is
able to deliver. He may say what he
pleases Just so he runs again next
year.

Gas and Electric Meters.

1ntimation is given that the pre-
liminary research by the public utili-
ties commission into the matter of
the proposed reduced rates for cleo
trio current for heating and cooking
discloses the fact that by comparison
with other cities where such service
is maintained the rates suggested for
Washington are reasonable. 1t is
also indicated that in the view of the
investigating official the minimum
charge of ST a month for each sep
arate meter is not unreasonable. 1t
is to be hoped that the commission
will carefully consider this question
of the separate meter charge before
approving the proposed schedule. Un-
der this scheme every domestic user
of current for two purposes must pay
at least S24 year for the privilege
of being connected with the mains,
whether he uses the current Or not.
1t is we'll known that in summer time,
when many houses are closed wholly
or in part, the minimum charge for
meter service exceeds the charge for
the current used. For two or three
months this charge must run, regard
less of current use. Meanwhile the
gas meter may be quite still, measur-
ing no flow whatever, and there is
no charge. The contrast between the
two services is a striking proof that
there is an injustice in the minimum
electric charge. If it is right for the
electric company to charge for the
meter, regardless of the use of cur
rent, why would it not be right for
the gas company to charge for it's
meters, irrespective of the consump-
ton? Or, to put. the case round
about, so long as the gas company
does not charge for meters, why
should the electric company do so?
If the two cases are not on all fours
the public is in need of enlighten-
ment

ST. Louis would be glad TO enter
tain the democratic national conven-
ton, but has a record which is giving
some OF the party managers pause.
Iilden was nominated there in 1876,
and lost Cleveland was renominated
there in 1888, and lost Parker came
along in 1904, and yet failed OF cleo

ton as 10 the rest. They are anx-
ious to avoid anything resembling a
hoodoo attachment Their caicula-
ton is that the fight for reelection

that they must propitiate not only the

supposed to be. If there is anything

Some Artful Dodging.

shown in the following news story:

gressivc national committee, confer
red with Col. Roosevelt yesterday at
the latter's city Office Mr.. Perkins
submitted 10 the colonel the minutes
OF the executive committee meeting

sentiment Tor his candidacy in 1910.
The colonel did not indicate
whether he would run again said Mr..
Perkins, but. you know, he is never a
candidate (smiling).

In other words. Mr.. Roosevelt said
nothing TO Mr.. Perkins for publica-
ton, but probably a good deal for the
good of the order. That the two men
understand each other perfectly is
certain, and that every step taken by
Mr.. Perkins looking to bull moose
national convention next year has
Mr.. Roosevelt's approval is equally
certain. But they are not prepared
as yet to take the public into their
confidence as to details.
Had Mr.. Perkins been asked wheth-
er the bull moose convention would
prccede or follow those of the old
parties he would probably have evad-
ed that question also by replying that
the matter would be decided by the
bull moose committee at its January
meeting in Chicago. OF course. that
committee meeting will be dominated

A Welcome Veteran.

Mr.. Cannon is with us again, and
everybody is glad. Political friends
and foes alike welcome his return to
the arena where for so many years
he has done battle for his convic-
tions.
Maybe that word "foes" is not a
happy selection. Mr.. Cannon has out
lived his foes, if he ever had any.
The men who oppose him now do so
in full acknowledgement Of his ability
to LAY on good and hard,' but they
bow with both respect and good ma
ture to a seasoned veteran, who car
ries no bitterness away after a
shindy.
A full man, philosophical, and OF
abounding resource. and good ma
ture. An experienced man. who has
done much. and helped to do more.
An ever young man, who jokes with
and pleasantly defies Father Time,
and makes him keep his distance. A
man of whom Thomas B. Reed said
he had as much horse sense as any
body he, Reed, had ever met in pub
lie life. A high compliment, from a
high and very sensible source.
The present is not Mr.. Cannon's
first come back" Twenty-odd years
ago, when the republicans suffered a
heavy blow in national campaign,
he was among those who fell outside
the breastworks. But he missed only
one House. He was back again in the
next, and after that achieved the
Speakership and his greatest intiu-
ence in Congress.
He has not now the Speakership in
view. He yields the leadership OF the
minority to younger man, whom he
admires and will support, loyalty. And
if the next House is republican, that
man will be the Speaker, if mean
while he has not been nominated and
elected President of the United
States.
In the interview with which Mr..
Cannon favored The Star yesterday
he appeared in character-a little
jocular, considerably in earnest, full
of reflection. and ready for the fray.
He has full grasp of the situation. At
Danville he has kept his eye on the
game and the players; and now that
he is sitting in" again he will know
the value of his cards.
1t will be of general benefit to have
so competent, SO alert and so diligent
a veteran in harness again. The times
are grave, and call for the best in
every public servant, and for the best
servants available. Mr.. Cannon's
record entities him to place in the
front rank, and the country is to be
congratulated on his presence there
again.

Public Buildings.

Congress should take seriously into
account the action of the American
Institute of Architects at its late
meeting in this city regarding the
retrogression of the American gov
ernment in the matter of its public
buildings Instancing the new In
terror Department building, the in
stitute strongly disapproved the tend
ency in quite recent years toward
the strictly utilitarian in construc-
tions of this character and deplored
the departure from general plans and
policies which in the past. with only
rare and conspicuously unhappy ex-
ceptions, have resulted in the devel-
opment of a capital worthy of the
nation.

Office situated on back street out
of the range of convenience might
appeal to economists in business as
worth saving But to the govern
ment, which, whatever its immediate
and passing poverty is abundantly
supplied with funds for proper exc
cution of its permanent public works,
such a saving is the poorest possible
investment.
The American people do not want
their capital to develop along cheap
lines. They want city OF dignity
and attractiveness as the seat of gov
ernment, and they resent the imputa-
ton against their taste and their
sense of proportion which is con-
veyed in the housing of an important
public department or bureau in a
barnlike structure such as the pen
sion Office or the new Interior De-
partment home When a courthouse,
a post Office or a customs Office is
built in one of the cities the people
are always proud and pleased if the
design is classic and the materials are
good. They feel deprived 'of their
rights when the government does a
cheap job. In the greatest degree do
