The moral standard Of the people,
acting somehow, is always there,
whether it be high or low. at it's
highest, however, it does not approach
the noblest motives of the individual,
for it is communal conscience, not an
individual conscience. 1t is never
more than the highest common denom-
inator of goodness.

PLEDGE SUPPORT
TO Pension Law
Six Civic Organizations In
dorse Police-Firemen PEN
sion Measure.
ACTION BY FEDERATION
Question viii Be Taken Up at Early
Date-Expect Chamber of Com
merce to Give Support.
ACTION BY FEDERATION

The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. representing twenty-seven civic or
sanizations of the District, may take up
at an early date the fight OF the police
and firemcn of the city to secure an ade-
quate pension law from Congress. The
question is now in the hands of the
federation's committee on law and Ieg!s-
alton, wnere II was referred by several
bodies affiliated with the federation.
Charles S. Shreve. chairman of the
committee, expects to make an early re-
port to the federation. and in view of
the unanimous Endorsement which the
movement has received from civic organ
izations thus far. the federation probably
will act favorably.
Since The Herald called the attention
of the people to the depleted condition
Of the fund from which police and fire
mems pensions are paid. less than three
weeks ago. these organizations have
pledged their support to the men in their
efforts to secure n pension law from
Congress:
The Northeast Washington Citizens As
ISOLATION, the Safety First Association
the Brightwood Citizens Association, the
Takoma Park Citizens Association, the
Mount Pleasant Citizens Association and
the Brookland Citizens Association.
1t Is not unlikely that the Chamber of
Commerce, realizing that it IL the busi-
ness property of the city that commands
most of the attention of the police, and
also of the f1remen, will take the matter
up. p. T. Moran. president Of the cham
ber, has on several occasions declared
himself in favor OF maintaining an ade-
quate pension fund. even If 1t be neces-
sary to draw from the general revenues
of the city to prevent deficiencies in the
fund.
The South Washington Citizens Asso-
citation probably will act on the pension
measure at its February meeting, and
the North Capitol and lexington Citi-
zens' Association has instructed its ex-
ecutive committee to report on the mat
ter next month.

COMMISSIONERS PLAN
TWO NEW FAIRGROUNDS
District Bill Expected to Garry $4,000
Appropriation for Additional Rec
reation Grounds for Children.

Two new Fairgrounds one on the north
east corner of Sixteenth and r streets
northwest, and another in the southwest
section OF the city are planned by the
Commissioners for the next fiscal year
The District appropriation bill proba bly,
will carry an appropriation for $1,000
for this purpose. 1t became known yes
terday.
The needs of public playground for
white children has been severely felt
In the southwest section, where a very
large area is unsupplied with recreation
ground.
It is probable that the Commissioners
will seek a lease on a large piece of
ground near old Willow Tree alley, or
utilize the ground formerly occupied by
the alley.
1t is understood the Commissioners
have been given to understand that the
property at Sixteenth and streets will
be available for leasing to the District
for playground purposes.

SEEN AND HEARD
BY GEORGE MINER
Special Correspondent of The Washington Herald.
CcopyriEh by the Mcclure Newspaper syndcate)

The home secretary has the power to
confine citizen in an asylum for the
criminal insane without any trial or Judi
cial commitment and solely by means of
his own warrant. A person thus incar-
cerated - held in the asylum until freed
by another warrant of the home secre-
tary, and cannot be released by any
other process OF law, not even by the
habeas corpus act.
Inmates of criminal insane asylums
thus detained are known as the secre-
tary of states Iunatics." In some years
the commitments OF this sort by the
home secretary number as many as 10,
but the annual average Is about ninety.
Rufus Isaacs, the other protesting Jew
now occupying an exalted position in
England, Is the lord chief justice. He is
at the head Of the bench. There is moth
ing higher.
The career of Rufus Isaacs has been
almost meteoric. He was a promising
young lawyer in London. Then he be-
came a kings counsel and then, zip, he
went to the top. Neither his nor Sam
uels' advancement was due in any way
to pull or patronage. They got 1t on
their merits solely.
Wine Man and Chief Justice.
Isaacs was quite friend Of George
Kessler, the wine agent, and well known
IN new 1ork as wall street plunger
and a man about town. Kessler has a
beautiful place on the Thames, a few
miles above Maidenhead and not far
from Clivenden, Astor's famous country
seat. After the Olympic games in Lon
don, at which the Americans swept ev-
erything before them, he gave a dinner
on the lawn there in their honor that
cost him more than $25,0O0.
1t was at New York Lodge, as Kessler
calls his place, that once met a most
remarkable collection of notables. There
were Rufus Isaacs, now lord chief Justice
of England: Richard Croker, former boss
of Tammany Hail. and Lord Desborough,
the close friend Of the late King Edward,
and the peer who had done more to keep
up interest in athletic games in England
than any other one man.
I doubt IL a more cosmopolitan mixture
than that ever dined together under the
Union Jack.

GARRISON INDORSES
D. c. ARMORY MEASURE
Hearings to Be Held Wednesday on
Bill Providing 81 10000 for
National Guard Building.

Hearings on the bill providing for a
S,7J0,000 armory for the District National
Guard, introduced by Representative
Dyer. of Missouri, will be held by the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds Wednesday morning.
The bill provides that the Secretary of
War and the commission appointed to
prepare plans in 1908 may modify those
plans to bring the building within the
limit of cost. For the preparation of
detailed plans and the commencement
of work $4,000 is made Immediately
available. The government reservation
bounded by Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets northwest and north of the line
established for the south front OF the
new National Museum Building, is made
available for the building.
The Hili has the Endorsement of Secre-
tary OF War Garrison in letter ad-
a, ssed to Lnairman Frank Clark, of the
committee. The Secretary says:
AT present the armories, with the ex-
ception of that used by the battalion of
naval militia. are rented structures and
are scattered over the District OF Column
bia in undesirable neighborhoods. entire
ly unsuitable and costing the government
about $4,000 annually for rental.
The various States of the Union have
provided suitable armories for their ma
tional guards, the armories of New York
State alone costing in the neighborhood
of 10000, 0O0
"It remains only for Congress to pass
the bill as expeditiously as possible and
such action is urged"
With public buildings legislation COM
pletely "up in the air. as a result of the
dictum from the White House that all
such appropriations must be cut to the
bone of bare necessity. the chances of
favorable action on the bill are consider
ably lessened. This is true also of the
s3.oCo,000 building proposed for the De-
partment of Justice, and the 500, 900
workshop asked by the Postofflce De-
partment, estimates which will be among
the first to feel the knife IL the pork
barrel is to be attacked.

In his younger days, Lord Desborough
was a famous athlete himself. He keeps
in fine condition by walking ten miles
every day. He allows nothing to inter-
fere with this habit. recall once when
1 sat next him at some formal luncheon
he told me that he had come down from
Scotland that morning, having Travelled
all night with scarcely any sleep, and
that Immediately on arriving at London
he had done his ten miles and then come
to that luncheon to make a speech.
Lord Desborough's two sons have been
killed in the war, and see there is some
fear that the title may become extinct.

This hyphenate discussion has started
a sort Of conta gion. Everybody is won
dering II It applies to him and. II so,
wnat kind of a hyphenate he is. Mike
O'Hara announced in the Lambs Club
that he was a hyphenate and a different
kind from anybody else; that his hyphen
was rare and wonderful. Joe Herbert
took exception to this.
Nonsense" said he. ANY one could
tell at a glance where you were born.
You are an Irish-American. That's not
rare. That's common, very common in
deed"
You're wrong I was born in Hong

II you can"
oh. well. then. that's different But
you are not a hyphenate either. You
are an ornithorhynchus."
Mike got mad at that and wanted to
lick him. He thought ornithorhynchus
reflected on his ancestry. Joe explained.
An ornithorhynchus," said he, 'is an
animal that is a sort Of cross between
a woodchuek and a duck 1t lives in
Australia. I can't think Of anything that
would better describe a Chinese-Irish-
man"

In connection with the prominent posi-
tons occupied by "hyphenates'' in the

note that a Jew is now at the head of
the English courts OF justice and that
another Jew occupies a cabinet position.
This Is the first time that a processing
Jew has ever been in the English cabinet.

family. but he was a member of the
Church of England, as was his father be-
fore him.

ever TO hold a cabinet portfolio seems to
have caused no comment there what
ever. His power and authority are much
greater than the average Engiishman has
