The Half-and-Half Plan Lives.

Friends of the plan whereby the United States
government pays half of the expenses of its
Capital City have found renewed confidence now
that the Senate Committee on Appropriations
has restored this plan to the District appropria-
ton will without dissenting vote
The action of the committee was not un-
expected, however, its members took similar
action year ago when they killed the Johnson
rider. The Senate likewise is expected to retain
the half-and-half plan as it did year ago by
vote of Al to 20. If this expectation is realized
the real fight will come in conference.
Friends of the half plan expect to utilize the
time before the measure reaches conference in
urging upon members of the House as we'll as
the Senate the wisdom of retaining the present
plan of appropriations.
The half plan will be advocated upon three
prime reasons:
ing of the half plan should be attempted on an
appropriation bill.
2 This proposed legislation is against the
spirit of the report submitted to Congress bv its
joint committee which investigated fiscal rela-
tions between the United States and District
governments
s. The chief argument for such 1eqs1.+io,
was destroyed a year ago when it was shown
conclusively that Washingtons assessment and
taxation are not only adequate but equal to the
average in other cities.
Even though some members of CONGRESS in
the recent past have shown that they are not
as much interested in the welfare of their Capita
as Its residents, there is good reason for friends
1.-THE plan to believe that Congress will not
enact such revolutionary legislation without first
submitting it to the legislative committees of the
Senate and House.

AFTER DINNER POLITICS
By DR. E. J. EDWARDS,
Author of New News of Yesterday" Etc.
1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN
By DR.. E. J. EDWARDS,
Copyright 1916 by the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.

Mr.. Seward occasionally said to
friends who were of his party and with
whom he chatted reminiscently that in
his view the extraordinary feature of the
political career of Henry Clay was not
SO much the fact that he was nominated
for the Presidency when he could not be
elected and was not nominated when he
could have been elected as was the fact
that he upon several occasions did the
right thing at the wrong time"
In this way, the late Judge Noah Davis
law partner OF Sanford z. Church. who
was New York States first choice for the
residential nomination in 1S6S-began a
brief narration to me of some matters of
historic interest which he learned from
William H. Seward. Senator in Congress
and Secretary of State in the administra-
tions OF President Lincoln and President
Johnson
Judge Davis himself, as a young man
Just beginning practice in Western New
YORK state, was intensely interested in
the national politics which prevailed be-
tween lSi0 and 1852. He was, later, a
member OF Congress, United States dis
trict attorney for New York city and the
presiding judge who tried William Nj.
Tweed
Il recall one instance" Judge Davis
went on to say, when Secretary Seward
spoke OF a speech which Henry Clay
made at his home in Lexington, KY, a
Few weeks before the national convention
OF the Whig party which was to NOM
mate candidate for President. At that
The Washington herald., 1916-07-14

time Clay was ambitious TO gain the
Whig nomination for President II was
an ambition which dominated him from
the time his name, twenty-five years be
fore, had been prominently associated
with Presidential nominations.
Seward said that Clay's Lexington
speech was, in his opinion a wonderfully
beautiful oration. Seward wished that
he could have heard it He could picture
forth in his imasinatio Clay's marvel
Gus personality and its effect upon great
audiences and could also, he thought
hear like an echo the wonderful tones OF
Clay's voice.
Had that speech been made four years
earlier, just before Clay was nominated
in 1874 for the Presidency, 1t would in ali
probability have enabled him TO carry
the State OF New York, which he lost by
less than ten thousand votes because the
Abolitionists would not support him. Had
the speech been delivered in 1874, Seward
said that II undoubtedly would have pre-.
vented the annexation Of Texas and
there would have been therefore no wa
with Mexico. The Mexican war devel
oped the military heroes Zachary Taylor
and General Winfield S. Scott, both q
whom were nominated for the Presidency.
Taylor. in lS4S. was triumphantly elected
feated. Had II not been for the Mexican
war and its heroes, Seward felt certain
that Henry Clay would have been nom,
mated for the Presidency in ls&, and
would have been elected.

the manner best suited to meet condi-
uons as they arise. He must make his
decisions from the map Of the country
and be able to tell from a military map
where shelter for his ambulance COM
panies and field hospitals can be found
He must have a sufficient knowledge Of
tactics TO form a good idea Of the ma

troops accordingly.

considered, the problem is a most serious

Discovery of the first suspected case of in
fantile paralysis in Washington since the New
York outbreak is not necessarily a cause for
alarm. Physicians do not believe that there is
any connection between this suspected case and
the New York epidemic. Further, Washington
is clean city, has competent health officials and
enjoys the advantage of being forewarned. How
ever, the case may serve to cause parents to
double their vigilance and to adhere as much as
possible to the rules for combating the scourge
laid down by District officials. More rigid rules
for preventing the spread of the disease in Wash
lngton may follow the return here of the health
officer now in New York making an intimate
study of cases and conditions.
