The House Program.

The House, it is announced, will re-
sumo business at the old stand next
Wednesday. Members who have taken
advantage Of the three-day recesses to
attend to private business at home, or
commune with nature at the seashore
or on mountain-top, have been notified
to return and get into the regular grind
again.
This card awaits the Houses action
"An estimated deficiency appropria-
ton of more than $4,000, 000, 900, a war
insurance bill that will substitute war
insurance for war pensions, and bond
issue Of over $11 ,000, 900 900 to finance
another allied loan, provide for retire
ment Of former bond issues and issuance
Of new bonds bearing q higher rate of
interest, to meet domestic needs"
Here is material for considerable de-
bate, and some Of it will be utilized.
How much is question, as is also the
range Of the debate. September 20, the
democratic leaders hope, may see the
House table cleared.

The Commissionership.

It is understood that the President il
about to decide upon the man to succeed
Commissioner Newman, who is due te
Join his command as an officer of the
Army. Several names have been pre-
scented to him, by officials and by citi
xens. He has a good field Of selection
It has been positively stated that urgent
Recommendation has been made of one
Of the District government subordinates
Citizens associations have urged mem
bers Of the community. There will be
no lack of excellent local material.
In filling this Office the District hopes
and expects the President to bear in
mind the fact that the principle Of home
rule has been virtually denied the CAPT
tai for several years in the matter of
the commissionerships. The courts have
ruled in one case that the law was not
observed on the score Of local resi-
dence and an custer was refused only
on the ground that the citizen in COM
plant had no technical right to raise the
question II in filling the vacancy Gre
ated by the resignation Of that official
the President does not name strictly
District man, as to whose residence and
thorough Identification with the local
community there can be no question
whatever, Washington will be deeply
and bitterly disappointed.
The organic act, by which the present
form Of government in the District was
prescribed, requires that "the. two per-
SONS appointed" as Commissioners Hfrom
civil life shall at the time Of their ap-
spointment be citizens Of the United
6tates and shall have been actual resi-
dents Of the District Of Columbia for
three years next before their appoint
ment and have, during that period,
claimed residence nowhere elseD Under
the terms Of this act three years Of con-
tinuous and exclusive residence in the
District constitutes man a Washing
tonian qualified to serve as Commits
sicner. But there is moro than that in
the spirit Of the statute. It was de-
signed to protect the District from pure
~ political appointments, from the use
Of the municipal offices as patronage.
It was meant to give the District gov
ernment by men who thoroughly know
local conditions and who have no resi-
DENTAL interests elsewhere.
In naming Commissioner Newman's
successor the President should, in jus
tee to the District, be scrupulously care
ful to select a man as to whose qualif-
cations ON the score of both residence
and abilities there can be no possible
ground Of objection by the local com
munity. A Washingtonian Of capaeity
can readily be found for this position.

The Lincolnian Spirit.

This news paragraph is being widely
copied and made the subject of much
fehcitous comment:
Iarue county, KY, the birthplace of
Abraham Lincoln, made a perfect rec
ord in the draft. according to the official
list received here by the district board.
Larue eounty's quota for the National
Army was 132 men. Only 1872 were ex-
amined. Not one claimed exemption,
and not one failed to pass the physical
examination. When the members of the
board scrutinized the list, this is what
they saw: The names of 1872 men, every
one certified for the Army. The first
name carried the number 258, and they
continued down the page, the numbers
running serially just as they were drawn
from the big glass globe at Washington.
Not one missing"
This record of the old home would
please Mr.. Lincoln greatly. He himself
possessed the soldier spirit. That he
participated in the Black Hawk war is
not as often referred to as are the more
important features of his extraordinary
career. But he was there, and acquitted
himself well.
Some writers have suggested that there
was in Mr.. Lincoln the material for the
making Of great military chief; that
had he addressed himself to questions
Of war instead Of to those Of statecraft
he would have shone with opportunity
~ brilliantly in the former az he did in
The latter field. He was physically cour.
ageous, intellectually calm, firm Of reso.
luton, and showed broad grasp Of sit
uations
II is familiar history that from the
beginning Of the civil war he studied
he different war problems assiduously
md untiringly, and made many valu-
abls suggestions q to oreauization and

Optimism as to Russia.

Pessimism as to the ability of Rus
STA to maintain herself in unity and in
military strength as factor in the war
against Germany has prevailed recently,
but it must be allayed by the confidence
manifested by this government in the
form Of new loan Of 800 900 900 to
Russia, increasing the obligation Of that
power to the United States to $275 000,-
900. Beyond this, however, there is as
surance in Secretary Lansing's state
ment that in his judgment Russia is
stronger today than ever, his belief be-
ing based upon reports to the State De-
partment, the nature Of which cannot
be made public at this time.
It is hardly conceivable that Russia
should collapse through internal discord
into chaotic mass Of factions without
any military power or central guidance.
Such a catastrophe has been feared,
however, by some in consequence Of the
repeated crises through which the pro-
visional government has passed in its
efforts to compromise the differences be-
tween the elements that are striving
each for its own ideal Of government.
That much Of this discord has been pro-
NOTED by German agents, doubtless with
ample funds for the corruption Of OH
cials and the maintenance Of q propa-
ganda Of political conflict, is not ques-
toned. 1t is not credible that whole
people should be bought by national
enemy or should be thrown into hope
less confusion by this means.
Russia may yield even more ground
on its frontiers than at present. Riga
may fall, and the seat of government
may be changed from Petrograd to Mos
COW, and yet Germany would be no
nearer victory than she is today, so long
az q government remains in Russia ca
pable of maintaining armies in the field.
The military necessity on the eastern
front is not 90 much the occupation Of
particular territories as the continue
ton OF resistance to the German as
saults. Every Russian division that is
kept in the field calls for at least a Ger
man division to oppose it, and this Ger
man division cannot be used elsewhere
50 long As it must be held in the east
for attack or for defense. The war win
not be won in the east. It will be won
in the west Of Europe, and Russia's part
now consists In continued resistance to
lessen the German capacity for defense
in France and Belgium That this part
will be played Is now the confident ex-
pectation of the United States, as mani
Tested by the continued loans of money
and the assurance Of assistance in other
ways for the maintenance of the Rus
sian government and the Russian armies.

execution. He WAS the eommander-in-
chief, indeed. Secretary Seward, In
letter to his wife, declared, not referring
solely to civil matters, "The President
b the best Of u.s."
Mistakes were made both In cam
paigns and in the choosing Of military
leaders Experiments were necessary
But when the right men appeared, Mr.
Lincoln knew Thorn ut once, and backed
them to the hilt. To charges that Grant
was deficient in strategy and at most
bulldog, he replied that Grant was a
fighter, and usually won. To charges
that Sherman was crazy and did not
know his business, Mr.. Lncoln's reply
was the strengthening Of Sherman for
greater work. And the President, as did
Gen. Grant, appreciated Sheridan to the
full.
At the start, the popular conception
was Of Q war of short duration. Neither
side was prepared for war, and this OPP
Grated against an idea Of protracted
struggle. Gen. Sherman was the Kitch-
ener Of the time in his prediction. He
advised the friends Of the Union to ex-
pect and prepare for long and stubborn
hostilities, and declared that the bill in
both blood and treasure would be large.
The war lasted four years, and the bill
was enormous.
