Oliver MOrosCo, producer; Willard

talent that presents itself to the audi

the run of The Highway of Hope" a
Morosco-Paramount romantic drama,
out of the ordinary as is usually the
case with anything in which Morosco
has a hand.
Kathlyn Williams, who originally
appeared as daredevil in serial
lhotodrama, especially those dealing
with wild animals, has become one OF
the leading dramatic actresses on the
screen today and has following that

THE Highway of Hope" is the trail

likewise have charge of the measure
later when it is reported to the Senate
for debate and passage.
Mr.. Simmons is Of the old democratic
tariff school. He believes in a low tariff
"a tariff for revenue only. He accepted
with reluctance the protection principle
embodied in the dyestuffs assessment, on
the score that. the party was facing 8
condition, not a theory.
Well, the party is still in that predica
ment; and maybe the predicament has
recently been emphasized. The gov
ernment's revenue needs are very large
and very pressing now; and theory in
the matter Of finding the money must
give way before necessity.
Mr.. Simmons, who is a veteran legis-
lator, wonders if there is time enough
before adjournment day for disposing
of all the measures on the card, and is
quoted as saying that "it may be that
we shall have to have an extra session
in the spring" This revenue problem
alone would justify putting the new
Congress to work at once.

slider the matter from the public's point
Of view. Itihas a right to the attention
Of the railroads because they are public
servants. It has a right to the atten-
ton Of the members of the brotherhoods
because they are American citizens. The
public first. The greatest good to the
greatest number is the sound doctrine
upon which the government is founded ;
and it will not long stay founded if that
doctrine is departed from in any ma
terial degree about any matter.
We have on the books what is called
a piece of emergency legislation-some-
thing shaped under duress. 1t satisfies
nobody. It should never have been en-
acted. And now that Congress is meas
urably its own master again it should
proceed with the deliberation and the
breadth of view demanded by subject
of paramount concern.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-01-08
The President.

Speaking of crowded hours. We hear
a great deal about how Congress, but
very little about how the President, is
driven. And yet just now the latter is
so driven, the wonder is he can make
progress at all. Consider his card.
"a The war. Both sides are discuss
ing his latest communication, and both
searching it for something hidden. He
must keep track of all phases of eriti-
cism, however unjust and unfounded
he may consider them. Between two
fires, he must keep his eyes peeled in
both directions.
(2) Mexico. Surely there never was
before such situation. All attempts
to deal with Carranza have failed. At
tempts to "get Villa" seem to have been
abandoned. Northern Mexico is in a
state exceedingly annoying to US, and
really full of peril. Intervention is not
desired. And yet unless some sort of
stable arrangement can be made we are
in danger of being forced into some
such step. Mexico is next-door neigh
Dor; and order in that country is a
matter of intimate concern to us.
(3) Revenue. The additional money
necessary for the support of the gov
eminent must be provided by Congress.
But, in a way, the question is "up to"
the President. His views are sought j;
and as he usually responds when ap-
preached in that way he has that mat
ter with others on his card.
a. Railroad legislation. The Presi-
dent is antagonized now by the railway
brotherhoods, and is not supported by
the railroad arrangements. He is ex-
pected to shape whatever Congress does
in furtheranee of matters inaugurated
by the so-called eight hour law.
90 Preparedness. While the country
has Endorsed the general proposition of
an adequate national defense, many de-
tails have yet to be worked out, and the
I ICSAuCht ID CApcCtcu "
questions in particular are vexing, and
have developed a great variety of
views.
This list by no means completes what
is on the Presidents mind daily. He
must see many callers, and discuss with
them the questions they presentvques-
tions of patronage, Of party manage
ment, of this and the other thing He
might use a day of thousand hours,
and even then find himself crowded for
time. If any man thinks that the man
who occupies the White House has a
task largely ornamental and does not
earn his salary, that man will revise his
judgment upon a little investigation.

District Workers Pay.

All of the reasons which operate to
bring about an increase in the pay of the
government clerks, as proposed in the
pending legislative bill, bear with equal
sation of the employees of the District mu-
nicipality. They are paid in accordance
with salary scale fixed many years ago,
at rates which give them bare suficien-
ey to meet their expenses, with the most
rigid economy, in normal times. They
are now met with extraordinary condi-
tons in extortionately high prices for
all the necessities of life. They pay the
same rates for food, clothing. fuel and
other needs as do the clerks Of the gov
eminent service and get no more
money.
1t is impossible to view the recon-
mendation recently made by the Dis
trict Commissioners for an advance of
pay for the District workers without
conceding both the necessity and the
justice of the raise. These people are
charged with highly responsible duties.
They are required to work hard and to
maintain themselves decently. They are
working harder today than ever before,
for the Districts business has increased
faster than the size of the force. In
trinsically the work done by the mu-
nicipal force is worth more money, re-
gardless of other considerations.
The District is entitled to demand
more pay for its municipal workers, in
asmuch as it has a prospective revenue
sufficient to make this change in the sal
airy scale. In any reckoning Of the Dis
trict appropriation bill there will be a
surplus of .unappropriated local tax
funds. 1t is not as though the capital
municipality were financially unable to
pay decent wage to its clerks and
other workers. No argument Of pow
erty can be applied in this instance to
justify ignoring this claim.
As in the case Of the department en-
ployes, whatever is done for the District
workers should be permanent, mot mere
ly temporary. The salary scale should
be raised. The economic conditions now
prevalent will in all probability endure
for some time, but after subsistence of
the extreme prices now ruling the wage
scale of the District will still be made
quate. This is a matter Of fundamental
justice, not mere emergency, and the
District bill should, on reaching the Sen.
ate, bear an amendment which puts the
municipal workers where they belong, on
a permanently higher plane Of compen-
sation.

Progress may be reported in the mat.

The Senate and Revenue.

The Senate finance committee is pre-
pairing for the revenue question Not
in the way of bill, of course. 1t must
await the House initiative. But it is re-
ceiving suggestions as to finding addi-
tonal money, so that by the time the
House measure reaches the Senate,
everything will be ready for prompt
consideration Of the House plan.
But prompt consideration may not
mean prompt disposition. That will de-
pend. Once the House measure is in the
Senate committees hands, and. later. in
the Senate's hands, it will be within the
senatorial province to subject it 20 thor
ough examination and amendment.
The Senate held the Underwood tariff
bill as passed by the House five months.
Whether it improved the measure is a
question. good deal of opinion sup
ports the Senate's Judgment that it did
AT any rate the House in conference ac-
eepted much the greater part Of what the
senate had done, and the President
without protest, signed the amended

krable measure an exercise of the Sen
ete's right to participate in tariff legis
lation.

The Referendum Issue.

III Washington is denied q no-hcense
referendum the refusal should be based
solely on the ground that such refer
endum at this time is inopportune; that
local public opinion has not been con
rGlted heretofore in progressive anti
saloon legislation which Congress has
enacted for the District, creating stead
lily increasing zones of prohibition and
days or hours of prohibition, raising
license figures, cutting down saloons in
number and subjecting them to more
rigid regulation and that if Congress is
now ready to abolish saloons entirely
from the District this reform should not
be delayed or endangered by the ex-
pertinent of referendum.
A.multitude of Westinghouse believe
both in prohibition and referendum
for the District. They hold that the
principles of legislation on which both
are based are vital to the capitals well
fare. They do not wish an immediate
preference for either to deny and per-
manently defeat the other.
No Washingtonian should on any con
sideration be tempted to claim or con
cede that such referendum is uncon-
stitutional or otherwise invalid. OF
course, Congress has, without its action
being questioned. gone far beyond the
grant of referendum in constituting its
power to choose agencies through which
it shall exercise its power of legislation
=, in the District. But it is denied that
there is any specific precedent for just
such referendum as is now proposed.
In 1857 President Buchanan issued a
proclamation reciting that by an act of
Congress TO eodify the laws of the Dis
triet the President twas directed to ap-
point time and place for taking the
sense of the citizens of the District of
Columbia for or against the adoption of
the code prepared in pursuance of said
act,' and appointing day for such vote
and providing the mode and rules of
'VhuuCtius INC ticttiOu, pTO-
vision concerning the qualifications of
voters. (See Messages and Papers of
the Presidents, vol. ), page 400
The Districts referendum vote was
taken at the time designated, and the
vote rejecting the proposed codifcation
was transmitted to Congress by the
President in message dated March 9,
1853.
If Congress could permit the District
to negative a whole code of general laws
in Buehanan's time it can permit the
District of Wilson's administration to
confirm or negative tentative law in
volving single issue
Finally. no Washingtonian should be
tempted on any consideration to SANDER
this community as vcnal and unworthy
in the voting constituency which will
respond to the opportunity to record a
full and honest expression of public
opinion concerning an issue affecting
both the moral and the material welfare
of the capital.
