Preparedness and Revenue,

The question of preparedness and
the question of revenue cannot be
separated. What is ordered must be
paid for. Nothing could be palmer.
Hence the perturbation of Mr..
kitchin. If preparedness is ordered,
he. as chairman Of ways and means,
must preside over the consultations
for finding the money. Where, and
how much?
Mr.. Kitchin knows the road he
must travel. He has been over it
before. During his service in the
House he has had to do with ques-
tions of taxation, and found them
hard to solve.
% Undoubtedly. Mr.. Kitchin, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald and every other prominent
democrat in Congress, House and
Senate, would be glad of suggestions
from the President on this subject,
and there is argument supporting
their desire. AS the recommendation

The Kansas City Conference.

George W. Perkins, disregar ding
has called the bull moose committee
TO meet in New York city for the
purpose OF naming the time and
place for holding the bull moose ma
tional convention. He insists that
convention will be held, and that
It VIII nominate d ticket and adopt
platform. As to the convention,
yes. As TO the ticket and the plat
form, maybe.
This action was taken at Kansas
tI;y. where prominent bull moosers
were III conference, and where a gen
cral discussion of the situation and
party prospects was INDUCED in.
some old things were repeated. and
sor-c new things sharply said.

Two old parties were denounced. Both
from the bull moose point of view
are corrupt, and on that accoun,
should go into the discard. Bull
modsery is the only honest wear
Call the bull moose party to power

tation, and thrive. 80

for preparedness will come from him,
recommendation about footing the
bill would help the legislators.
But the counter argument is
stronger. In the first place, the
House should hold strictly to duty
relating to revenues. 1t is provided
in the Constitution that all measures
OF that character must originate in
that body. Why evade that pro-
vision by accepting and passing a
measure which had really originated
in the White House?
In the second place, has the Presi-
dent the familiarity with the ques-
ton of taxation which would enable
him to perform the work, assuming
his Willingness to undertake it? He
was much at sea when the Under
wood revision of the tariff was in
hand He would have signed the bill
that passed the House. Indeed, one
of the protests against the delay
after the Senate had taken the House
bill for review was founded on the
assertion that the President was sat
isfied with the Houses work. Still,
the Senate spent five months in re-
vising the House revision, changing
it in many particulars; and the Pres1-
dent accepted the revision of the re-
vision. Free sugar was the only item
he seemed unalterably fixed upon;
and that is generally regarded now
as a mistake, and likely to be cor
rected.
No. simply because the revenue
problem is difficult affords no rea-
son why preparedness should be
skimped or abandoned, or why the
President should undertake the work
of the House The greater the diff
Guilty the greater should be the de-
termination of the House to sur
mount it: and the greater will be Mr..
kitchin's credit if the work is sur
mounted under his leadership. The
country understands his position
that he does not approve OF the
Presidents program. Still, when the
program is indorsed by the House,
as he comedies it will be, as an ex-
perienced legislator he should give
the House the full benefit of his ex-
perience in the matter OF laying
taxes. And, presumably, when the
time comes he will.

nation we are greatly discredited
and all owing to the administrators
msmanagement of affairs.
While Mr.. Perkins made no sug-
gestions as to bull moose nomina-
tions, Missourian present did, and
named the old ticket. Another trial
by Roosevelt and Johnson would, he
thinks, cut the mustard. The repub-
licans are unwilling to progress, and
the democrats are incapable of pro-
crossing; and SO the countrys only
hope is in the bull moosers.
If this mans premises are granted,
his conclusions are unacceptable. If
bull moosery is great-the greatest
ever-Roosevelt and Johnson are ITS
prophets. They represent the best,
and all there is of good. in the bull
moose movement. Four years ago
they pol1ed four million votes; and
wherever today two or three bull
moosers gather together and ex-
change views for the good of the Or
der the spirits of Roosevelt and john
son animate the conversation
True, it is reported that Gov. john
son may appear at the republican ma
tiona' convention at the head of the
California delegation. But until he
confirms that report, or in some
other way announces change OF
heart, he is entitled to remembrance
as a bull moose leader, and to place
in leading bull moose calculations.

The Widener Art Collection.

1t is most earnestly to be hoped
that Joseph Z. Widener of Phlladel-
phia, in carrying out the will OF his
father, will decide that Washington
is the proper place for the great
Widener art collection, which, under
the terms OF that will. he is at lib
crty to present to Philadelphia, New
York or the National Capital. Nat
uraIly each of these three cities will
present a strong claim for considera-
ton. Mr.. Widener's own interest
and residence in Philadelphia natur
ally inclines him to that city, while
New Yorks possession OF the great
metropolitan Museum may cause him
TO regard it as entitled. through some
degree OF present art precedence, to
the emp1acement.
But there is consideration which
should appeal to Mr.. Widener in his
discharge OF his fathers trust, in
favor of Washington. This city is
recognized as a national center. 1t is
developing artistical1y and is coming
to be the scene OF activities by ar
fists of national renown. There are
two galleries here-the Corcoran Gal
lery, of Art. with its large and repre-
sentative collection. and growing
collection in the National Museum.
The latter, while not large, is of high
quality. and is definitely known as
the national gallery. 1t is quite GER
tain that it must grow chiefly
through gifts and loans. Already Mr..
Freer of Detroit has given to the ma
ton his remarkable collection of
Whistler pictures, together with the
famous Whistler, peacock room. At
present Mr.. Freer is keeping this COL
lection in Detroit, the plan being to
send it here only after his death, but
meanwhile it is hoped that Mr.. Freer
will arrange for the proper housing
OF the pictures.
The Widener collection if placed in
Washington will be open to a truly
American public, and would in no
sense be a local institution. 1t would
be viewed by the people from all
parts OF the United States. 1t would
add richly to the present national gall
lery, in which it would preserve its
identity. The government has made
provision in the National Museum for
large number of paintings, and this
space can be increased. Furthermore,
it is assured that as the gallery grows
Congress will insure its proper hous-
ing perhaps by the erection of new
building.
Every national consideration points
TO Washington as an appropriate
place for the Widener collection.

The Session, and Its Length.

Mr.. Mann does not expect Con-
gress to adjourn in time for the ma
tional conventions. He suggests, in
deed, that there may be no adjourn
ment at all, the long session extend
ing to the short. He points to the
administration card, which contains
business enough to keep the legisla-
tive body busy without ceasing.
The card is exceedingly full, con-
tanning much that is important, and
more that is very difficult. Rush Or
ders, even with the aid of gag rules,
are not easily executed with the ma
jority divided and the minority alert.
And that will be the situation i'll both
houses OF the Sixty-fourth Congress.
Everybody is talking patriotism,
and yet it is becoming apparent that
everybody is thinking politics. Next
year we elect a President and a new
Congress; and already the plans for
the campaign are taking shape. How
then is it possible for anybody in
high political Office to lose sight of
what is plain before all?
Congress in session at convention
time would not be without precedent.
In fact, such was the case only three
years ago. But Congress in session
during the whole OF a presidential
campaign would be new, and it might
be expensive to both parties. Think
of Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Kitchin, popu-
lar orators of the first class, detained
in Washington by House duties |!
Think OF Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Bora11,
among the best of the republican ora
tors, detained by Senate duties!
The work of the long session will
enter into the campaign. If good, it
will help the democrats, even if some
of the republicans shall have helped
with it. If bad or indifferent, it will
help the republicans, who, of course,
will have resisted much of it.
The work of the short session will
necessarily depend on the result a.
the polls. If the democrats win, elect
ing Mr.. Wilson and another House,
they may ease up of their own ac-
cord on all but routine legislation,
leaving much to the Sixty-ffth Con-
gress. If they lose, the republicans
carrying the presidency and the
House, there will be a temptation to
make hay while the sun shines, carry
ing out before March 4, 1917, such
party policies as may have been in
herited from the long session.
In the latter case, however, the re-
publicans would resist, with all the
means at command, on the score that
as the democracy had been repudi-
ated at the polls its commission for
all but routine measures had been
Cancelled.

President Yuan Shih-kai of the
Chinese republic is poet of no mean
pretensions. Such an accomplish
ment is unusual in the head of gov
ernment. Yet this, like many orien-

is not without its advantages. A
ruler is at an advantage in being
able to produce his own poetry with
confidence that the public will regard
no other output as genuine.
