It must have required resolution on
Mr.. Bakers part to respond. Congress
was in session, with war measures press
ing. The situation on the Mexican bor-
der was ticklish in the extreme. All
Europe was in the throes of armed con-
fiict. Our War Department had not
struggled with problems so grave and
difficult and complicated in half cen
tury
But Mr.. Baker responded He shoul-
dered the unfamiliar burden the Presi-
dent proposed, and has been carrying it
ever since. He has sat at the head of
the department table and conferred with
trained soldiers; represented the depart
ment before committees of Congress;
advised the President on questions of
war detail, and shirked none of the try
ing duties of his trying place.
The swap caused much comment,
and it was not confined to the political
opposition. But it did not influence the
President, who had made the swap with
out hesitation and now stood by the new
horse.

Pass the Fake Auction Bill.

A favorable report has been made ia
the Senate on the fake auction bill
which was recently passed by the House
and the hope is that it will be put on
its passage in that body before adj
journment for the recess This measure
has been urged for several years, and at
last progress has been effected to the
point of legislation, the completion OF
which will enable the Commissioners to
abatc a nuisance that has for long
time prevailed in Washington.

the conduct of one Of the flake auc-

an act as that now pending. The tricks
that are played there. Just within the

doubtedly mnlct the public of thousands
of dollars in the course of a year. Legiti-
mate business is injured by such enter
prises. which thrive upon the lack of
knowledge of values on the part of the
average purchaser.
There is no present method whereby
these fakes can be prevented. The ven
doris themselves, highly specialized in de-
ception, manage to work their game by
a sort of hypnotism upon the victim,

that allures and in truth misrepresents
without positively violating the law
against fraud Many tricks are played
that catch innocent persons unawares.
After the transaction is completed and
the goods are found to be below the de-
clared or insinuated standard. there is
practically no chance to prove fraud.
The chances are all against the victim.
He has perhaps no witnesses, having
taken no precautions to surround him
self with friends when he makes his
purchase. whereas the vendor, with his
secret "cappers" always in attendance,
is able to bring forward evidence in his
behalf to establish innocence of decep-
ton.
Only by the enactment of such law
as that proposed by the pending bill can
the Commissioners reach this evil and
drive out of Washington the takers who
have made profitable business here for
some years, and keep them out. The
Senate can readily pass this bill in ff-
teen minutes or less if it is brought
forward at the right moment.

Cannon and Aldrich.

MIR. Gallinger's tribute in the Senate
yesterday to Mr.. Cannon and the late
Mr.. Aldrich recalled some stirring his
tory which those two very capable men
helped to make. The period is past,
but while it lasted it was lively.
Mr.. Cannon probably enjoyed his ex-
perience more than Mr. Aldrich did his
While dead in earnest and diligent in
pursuit of ends, he had, and has what
is called a saving sense of humor. This

Fortunately, he has lived to see that
verdict rendered. "Cannonism" has been
adopted by his opponents, and brought
up to date. If the next House is re-
publican, and bossy tactics are deter
mined upon, the pattern need not be
"Cannonism," but what has succeeded
that ism.
Personally, Mr.. Cannon has achieved a
great triumph. The measure of former
blame has become the measure of later
praise He is probably the most popu-
lar man in the present House, both sides
doing him honor whenever occasion of
fers. No national legislator of his gen
Grafton has come into quite so much
hearty good fortune.
Mr.. Aldrieh was of different tenn
permanent. While approachable, he was
not chummy. He lacked humor. He was
always busy. Like David B. Hill, he
ate, drank and dreamed politics. He
was a master craftsman, and sometimes
hard taskmaster. He did things, and,
many things. For his own good. he was
too Indifferent to Misrepresentation and
eensure. His opponents threw good
deal of mud, and some of it stuck. He
did not take the trouble to brush it off.
Although he did not 1ike to see it,
Mr.. Aldrich. too, has had his triumph.

New York's Epidemic Waning.

New York's health officials are en-
couraged by a recent steady decrease IN
the daily number of new cases of in
fantile paralysis, yesterday only ninety
four additional infections having been
reported with twenty-five deaths. This
was decrease Of fifteen cases and nine
deaths from the day previous. On the
strength of this falling off, which has
been fairly constant for some days, it is
declared that the epidemic is now
definitely on the wane. Still the author
tiles expect that the total number of
cases, now 1921, will rise to over 10000
and that the deaths, now 1,7S5. will total
about $500. This, however. is not the
whole of the evil result of this outbreak,
for it is estimated that fully $500 chill
dren will be left in condition to need
braces, perhaps for the remainder of
their lives, while perhaps 5000 other
children will be crippled, with some
chance for nearly complete recovery.
A singular feature of the New York
disease is that though it is distinctly
waning in prevalence the death rate is
rising At the close of yesterdays re
ports the rate was 23.42, an advance of
about l per cent in less than ten days.
No explanation of this phenomenon has
been vouchsafed. In fact, the whole
epidemic has been most mysterious. The
initial center of infection has never been
discovered and no definite clue to the
means of transmission has been obtain
ed From the beginning the most dread
full feature Of the outbreak has been the
after mystery of the cause. 1t is in
deed remarkable that with this malady
raging so fatally throughout the great
city there has been practically no panic
save at the outset. when an exodus of
parents with children took place for a
few days.

Water Rates,

As between special appropriation for
the care and maintenance Of the Wash
ington aqueduct and the raising Of rates
for water use the former should be
adopted as measure to cover the pros
pectiye situation when the aqueduct is
transferred to the Commissioners. Water
rates should be held as low as possible.
When they were raised few years ago,
IN consequence Of general metering
Of the city, there was universal public
protest and much anxiety was felt Prob
ably the health of the city suffered, for
although the difference in the annual
bills caused by the increased rates was
slight nevertheless the fact that the rates
were raised caused many persons to be
extremely particular about water use
Water should be as free as possible
Metering is not in the long run a wise
plan, as regards the domestic user. 1t
is undoubtedly the most equitable meth
| cd of measuring the use Of the large
user, but for the ordinary household
purposes there should be practically NO
limit to the consumption. But meter
ing has been adopted and tho installa-
tion is in operation. after heavy initial
expense, which has been betrayed by the
water users in the increased rates adopt
ed at that time.
As matter Of equity the rates to
the domestic users should now be reduced
rather than increased, for tho latest ad-
vance in rates was for the purpose Of
installing the water meters, which have
BY now been paid for, SO that the addi.
tional charge is what is in sporting PAR

The Presidents Horse Swap.

At Waterville, Me, Thursday night in
asking for an Endorsement of the ad-
ministration, Secretary Baker said:
Large problems lie before us in the
next four years. The reconstruction
must take place No unfamiliar hand
should be put in TO guide the course of
oar nation during that period. No I'M
certain voice should be permitted to
speak our spirit at the council table
that recognizes the universe. This is a
time when. having pressed forward no.

finish should be left to those who have
demonstrated their ability by their work
already done"

Lincoln. but he merely gave it promi-
nente and wide circulation by using it

occasion he attributed it to IAN old
