The District Bill DYING.

a canvass Of members OF Congress probably
would not disclose a single member who is not
alert and active whenever the interests OF his
own district threatened. A canvass OF the
same members finds a discouraging minority sin
cerely concerned with the welfare OF the District
Of Columbia and its citizens.
Congress faces the closing days of the pres
ent session with every prospect of no fiscal legs-
lation for the District. Nearly 100000 people
will be ignored and their interests sidetracked if
Congress docs not pass the District appropriation
bill
More than $3,5oo,ooo in civic improvements is
provided in the pending bill A comprehensive
beginning OF adequate pension system for the
hremcn and policemen is provided. Faithful and
experienced District workers are provided in
Crcascs in compensation which are we'll deserved
Poyision is made for the Identification of the city,
appropriations made to care for its normal expan-
sion and Legislation provided that will enable the
District to hold its place with other progressive
cities.
On these matters there is no disagreement.
The items for the improvement of the citv were
incorporated after due deliberation and study by
the Congressional committees which are vested
with the duty OF determining the merit and ne
ccssity of such things. The civic bodies of the
District, working in cooperation with the Con-
u eSslOud committees, gave ther time and knowl-
edge to assist in the preparation Of a bill that
would be just and equitable.
Now the whole structure is threatened because
the House and the Senate cannot agree upon a
system Of taxation for the District The time
and work that has been spent in the prepara-
ton Of the District bill is to be thrust aside as
wasted energy and the District will be forced
to accept the continuation of the existing appro-
priations authorized to meet conditions as thew
existed over year ago.
What will be the result of such action on
the question really at issue? The present system
of taXation-the $3.50 plan-will be continued
until such time as Congress sees fit to change it
for some other measure upon which both the
House and Senate agree. Under the circum-
stances, is it unfair to ask that Congress pass
the District bill before adjournment and post
pone the matter of taxation until the next ses-
sion?
Perhaps no stronger argument than the pres
ent situation could be advanced for the necessitv
OF passage of the Poindexter bill, which proposes
to give the District delegate in Congress- Everv
member Of Congress probably will admit that he
would work indefatigably for passage of the
appropriation bill if he were elected by the peo-
pie of the District.

Robert Bacon, the Candidate.

Harvard College has always been of great in
Huence in establishing in the Federal Senate
high standards of cultivation, of propriety of
conduct, of wise craftsmanship. Both of the
Adams were Harvard men. Charles Sumner
and Edward Everett maintained when in the
Senate the distinctive characteristics which were
not parochial or narrow, but broad and later
George F. Hoar and Henry Cabot Lodge were
able also to maintain, while members OF the
Senate, the high standard of cultivation for
which Harvard was characteristic.
These distinguished Senators not chosen
to serve Massachusetts, in the United States
Senate because they graduates of Harvard,
but because in character, ability and high culti-
vation, Massachusetts found in them the especial
qualifications which serve to maintain the dig
nifty and character of the Federal Senate.
Now the State of New York has a candidate
for election to the United States Senate who,
although of Boston birth and of Harvard asso-
Citations, has nevertheless been for thirty years
citizen OF New York State. Should it happen
that Robert Bacon is the choice of the Republi-
cans of New York State as the successor of
Senator OGorman in the United States Senate,
and should the legislature next winter officially
confirm that view, then a man admirably quail
fed both by personal character, by temperament
and mental attainments for great service in the
of March next, if there be one, begin service as
of the representatives Of New York in the
Federal Senate
Mr.. Bacon is especially qualified for service
of this kind, especially in the field of finance
and fiscal politics, both by his long training as
bankcr-part of the time in Boston and for
some years in New York-and also by his
valuable service to Harvard University, both as
ovcrscer and member of the corporation.
Harvard University is in possession of funds
approximately $5oooo,o 900, which must be wisely
administered if the institution is to gain reason
able income from these funds. Much OF Mr..
Bacons official association with Harvard has
cntailed supervision over these funds. Those
who familiar with his work say that it has
been admirable 1t is labor of love with him,
since he receives no compensation for it. 1t
is, however, made possible for him to become
familiar with securities, with investments and
with general business and financial conditions in
the United States,
Although Mr.. Bacon was for only short
time Secretary of State, nevertheless he held that
office as long as did Edward Everett, who at the
expiration OF his term Secretary, entered the
Inted States Senate 1t was, however Mr..
Bacon's four years service as Ambassador to
France which in an especial manner revealed his
high qualification for important diplomatic
service.
In the narrow and technical sense Of the word
Mr. Bacon is no politician, but he is master of
the greater politics which involve the welfare
Of the nation, for has taken greater
interest, personal and incidental in the work of
preparedness than he has since the emergen-
ces following the European war taught the
United States the necessity of preparedness.

James Whitcomb Riley.

We will miss you, kind Jim Riley,
But them songs you ulster sing
They will linger with US ever
And they'll never cease to bring
Mcm'ries e the good old home folks
With quaint, old-fashioned ways,
And they'll play upon the heart strings
Just long as years have days
You will sing no more, Jim Riley,
But your songs will never die
They sweet and pure and soothin'
Like the south winds gentle sigh.
Make you think of home and mother
OF your boyhoods happy years,
And they make a man feel better
Though they dim his eyes with tears.

A WAR VICTIM.

The Juneau Empire contains the thrilling and gruesome story of an exchanged prisoner of war. The man was hot in the stomach, had both arms broken and suffered other and permanent injuries. lie i; in Juneau looking for light work just to make living. How he comes to be in Juneau, Alaska, U. s. A., is not explained. What and where did he fight for? Cant he make living in Great Britain or Canada. if not why is it he enlisted? Surely he would have had more worthy object in fighting against the powers in Great Britain so that he and so many. others like him could obtain a living therein?
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-10-06

what may or may not be the causes of the higher prices now prevailing, the fact remains that labor instinc- lively and often unconsciously seeks to meet it by an increased wage scale. That Is resisted by employ CTS who instinctively and often un- consciously view any such efforts in the nature of an industrial insubor- dination, and there is no effort made to adjust these things in fair man ner. Hence the resort to strikes upon a larger or smaller scale and hence the efforts made to obtain wages equal to the costs of living.

STRIKES.

On every side we read or hear of labor strikes. Today when the era of industrial prosperity is supposed to be dumping a cornucopia of plen- ty upon a smiling land, every sec tion of the country is providing eX- ampies of labor troubles of more or less serious nature.
 That there is just now a period of great industrial prosperity or ac' tivity is not to be doubted, and the demand for labor is probably great CT than in long time. Moreover the wealth of the country has ln- creased enormously. Gold is now Tn greater abundance in New Iork than than in any previous period of it's financial history. Stock, com- mon stock of many corporations which before the war was worthless is now reaching up to enormous values: the United States Steel Cor poration for example. The demand for goods of all kinds has been so heavy that it has squeezed the water from the capitalization of dozen companies which are paying dlvld- ends that never paid expenses be- fore. A dozen such could be named of hand.
 But at the same time, keeping even step with this good fortune of the business man, the industrial chief, the financial king, we observe also, the fact that for the workers the cost of living has incended enormously. Since the war began food has climbed up about thirty per cent for staples in New York and this average is maintained fairly well throughout the rest of the country. All prices are still going up, and the active demand is show ing no sign of slackening.
 On the other hand let us turn to the wages question. Although we may observe that in some particular crafts, wages have kept fairly even step with the higher costs of living, for the vast majority they showed no such tendency. Wages irrespec- tive of organization have obeyed the law rather indifferently of supply and demand. The wages paid there tofore sank in the financial collapse of the winter of 1907. Then they Topped away down anywhere from thirty to eighty per cent. It was the. most remarkable characteristic of the panic of 1907 that the prices of necessities and staples responded but slowly to the panic and still continued very high while wages dropped with rapid slump. The charts which have been drawn up by statistical experts show that the prices of staples after slight de- crease continued stheir increasing tendency steadily. and except just immediately after the war broke out, when in the financial uncer- tainty of that period they fiuttered little and dropped back few points, they have been soaring steadily ever since.
 Any person can understand the close relation exists between the

house, and, returning from a concert for the
benefit of the Red Cross, had dropped in to
say good night to her parents-in-law. She
guessed at once that they had been talking
about her. The subsistence of the converse
ton, the embarrassed silence about the table,
made that evident.
A cloud, the shadow of an unpleasant
thought, passed over her unusually striking
face. Crowned with mass of pure blond
hair, with its transpare and often slightly
tinted paeness and the childishly wistful ex
preston of her bue-gray eyes, it was face
out of a fairy tale, the true face of the be
witched kings daughter waiting for the prince
who is to break the spell of the enchantress.
The head seemed little too small for the
too tall and too slim body. 1t swung there
like little touch-me-not flower on slender,
waving stalk. She quickly turned TO go, ex-
cusing herself to the company with smile
which said plainly enough: Don't let me dis
turb you. Go on and gossip about me and
my doings."
She kissed her parents-in-law, and finally
asked whether there was any news from Fer
dinand.
There was. He had written and announced
that he would be home soon on two weeks
leave. A shudder ran through her FRAME and
like sunbeam which travels through room
she quickly slipped away.
The colonel broke loose again. isn't it re-
voting that these two young people don't even

to ask for news of her husband from her

1t was striking fact that in this house the
most intimate family matters could be dis
cussed so openly. Everybody who belonged
to the family's social circle knew how the mar
riage had been brought about. 1t was really
business arrangement. From small begin

with all its growth the wish Of the founders
