An appeal has been sent broadcast for
funds. A few pennies from each adult
citizen of the country will raise the
money by Washington's birthday, and
this great work, so long delayed, can
be put in hand without further loss of

BigeloW Breaks Out Again.

| If he has been correctly reported
Poultney Bigelow, the author, has just
made spectacle of himself again in u
| speech at Toronto in q manner to call
forth prompt rejoinder and denial of
his slanderous comments upon the
American government. Bigelow has
made a rather wide reputation for him
self as a critic of government, but has
| never before gone quite so far as in
the Toronto speech, in the course of
which he condemned the American con-
sular service, ridicuied the neutrality
of the United States and held up his
native country to scorn as altogether
unworthy. If his Canadian audience
possessed any sense of propriety it must
have received his expressions with cold
disapproval, even though they were
framed obviously to elicit applause.
Bigelow's chief complaint appears to
be against the consular service. which,
he says, comprises "broken down,
wheezy political bosses, worn out law
yers and dentists, broken brokers, men
who could not earn living at any
honest or respectable business" And
he added this choice bit of patriotic APP
probation:
"These are the men l find / have to
go to as representing the majesty of
the nation, and / have to sew my
pockets up before l enter their offices.
Then | have to turn from their doors
and go to the British consulate to get
what want"
Bigelow must have had some very ex-
traordinary experiences to have gained
the impression that the American con
sular service is inefficient and corrupt
The understanding at home is certainly
to the contrary. The impression of Amer
lean travellers who have met the mem
bers of the consular service abroad has
been distinctly of reverse nature Par
ticularly during recent years the con-
sulates have been occupied by men of
ability and energy and capacity and, it
honesty. A great improvement has been
effected in late years in this matter
by putting the consular service on
basis of established tenure instead of
making it dependent upon political in
fluence, and subject to change with the
shiftings of administration.
Poultney Bigelow is not taken seri-
ously at home, but when he speaks
abroad it is possible that he is regarded
as entitled to respectful hearing and
as presumably accurately represent
ing conditions. Infinite mischief may
be done to American prestige by
the mouthings of such as he, who have
in truth by their utterances e1patriated
themselves and forfeited the right to
speak as Americans.

The Literacy Test.

Three Presidents have vetoed the
proposition to make iteracy test for
immigrants. Mr.. Cleveland did so
March g, 1897, on the eve of leaving of
flee, and Mr.. Taft February IA, 1913,
on the eve of his retirement. Yester-
days was Mr. Wilson's second Veto The
first occurred almost to a day two years
ago.
An effort will be made to pass the bill
over the veto, and its friends, pointing
TO sentiment already declared in both
House and Senate on the measure, ex-
pect to succeed.
Congress is singularly insistent on this
test. It has been twenty years since
the question was first presented to Mr..
Cleveland; and he rejected the propo-
sition on much the same grounds that
subsequently influenced Mr.. Taft, and
have twice influenced Mr.. Wilson. Two
democratic Presidents and one republ-
can President have taken the same view.
The argument against the test is sim
pie and direct, and does not rest on
theory. 1t is susceptible of proof that
some of our best citizens found their
opportunity to acquire an education
after reaching this country. In part
that opportunity had attracted them;
and when they had gained it they i'm
proved it to the extent that they were
enabled to improve all the other OPP
portunities of the country, and thus
take places among the country's best
supporters. A literacy test would have
excluded them, forced them to continue
their hard lives in the countries of their
nativity, and deprived America of re-
cruits of genuine worth.
The immigration laws might and
should be improved. There is sentiment
in support Of that proposition. The
gates have been swinging inwardly too
freely. We have received some very I'M
desirable persons, and too speedily
admitted them to citizenship. But, as a
rule, they have not been illiterates.
They did not come to us to help
strengthen the country, and increase its
attraction as land of promise. Their
aims and ends were of another order;
and they have pursued them to their
advantage and to the country's dis
credit. A literacy test would not have
barred them.
If Congress overrules the President
and writes the test on the books, the
question will not be closed. 1t is of
nature to rise again; and at the close
Of the war it may be in stronger form
than ever.

The George Washington Memorial.

For several years a movament has
been under way under the leadership
Of Mrs. Henry F. Dimock and fostered
by representatives Of patriotic women's
societies, for the provision of fund
30 erect in this city memorial
30 George Washington which will serve
as a place for the assemblage of the
people in conventions and patriotic
meetings. Congress has provided a site
FOR such building on the ground
formerly occupied by the railroad sta
ton at 9th and B streets, now part of
the public parks. By popular subserip-
lions sum of 100000 has been col
lscted, which is a little less than one
third Of the amount required before
the construction Of the memorial. 1t is
now proposed to raise the balance by
an intensive campaign throughout the
country between now and the 22d of
February, by which appropriate date, it
Is hoped, the money will be fully pro-
vided, so that this important project
can be put in the way of execution.
The fact that great marble shaft
has been raised in this city in express
sion of the nations reverence for the
first President should not lessen the
Importance of this movement to provide
a memorial hall at the capital to per-
petuate his fame. There cannot be too
many physical tokens serving to keep
George Washington's services and char
acter constantly before the people. But
IN q practical way this memorial to
Washington now planned is calculated
to appeal strongly to the patriotic spirit
Of the people. It will serve a most
useful purpose. 1t will supply an ur-
gent need. It will equip the city that
bears Washington's name with what it
has lacked for many years, place
where the people can assemble in large
numbers.

Republicans and Policies.

1t is announced that another caucus
will soon be held by the House repub-
Leans. ALI believe that an understand
ing should be reached as to policies, and
a workable union effected to support
them. The likelihood of an extra ses-
sion Of the new Congress is acting as a
spur; for whether the republicans or
ganize the new House, or appear again
as the minority, they realize that they
should present, if possible, a united
front to the opposition.
It seems to be assumed by some that
the tariff is no longer Of much conse-
quence. "Heavensl" they e1claim. of
we have nothing better to offer than
another high tariff revision we shall Sc
cure no attention. The people are tired
of the whole tariff question
But the tariff question now is not the
tariff question of three years ago. The

The war is forcing new tariffs on Eu-
rope, and a new tariff Indirectly on us.
We must adjust our tariff to those re-
adjusted elsewhere.
Then there is the income tax, which
has been introduced into our revenue
scheme, and is certain to remain a fea-
ture Of it. But do the republicans ap-
prove Of the tax as the democrats have
levied it7 Or do they think it should
be democratized, and relieved of its
present class and sectional characters

pally against the richs The existing

The President and the Clerks.

President Wilson's assurance yester-
day to the delegation of the Federal EN-
ployes' Union that he sympathizes with
their desires to obtain an increase in
salary is likely to have beneficial eff
feet at this time, with the legislative
in conference. The President went
further and said that he would consider
the question now pending ain serious
and friendly way"
The issue between the two houses in
this matter is whether the proposed in
crease, which will be effective for only
one year, after July 1, is to affect mere
ly the employees of lowest compensation
or those up to and including the $500
rate. 1t cannot be questioned that
every one of the government workers in
the classified service should have an
advance and that those of the grades
between $1,000 and $4,000 are in urgent
need of this increase. Their require
ments are memorable and have been in
creasing steadily for years, while their
compensation has remained at a stand
still. Many of the intermediate grades
eliminated by the Senate provision are
actually in greater need of promotion
than those of the lowest grades, because
the latter have in many cases no fam
lilies dependent upon them.
Even the House provision, liberal in
comparison with that of the Senate, is
not sufficient to meet the requirements
of the case. The increase should be
permanent and not merely for the year
of the appropriation. 1t should be on
a larger scale and it should take effect
at once. It is to be hoped that the
Presidents interest, thus publicly ex-
pressed will be instrumental in secur-
ing from the conference the most gener-
Gus terms possible under the rules.

! per cent of the total population. The
great majority Of the people contribute
nothing whatever in that way to the
support of the government.
Incomes and inheritances can be made
to yield enormously. In fact, they can
be assessed to the point where receipts
from customs need be but small mat
ter. Nearly all protection to American
industries could by that means be wiped
out.
The government Of this day requires
good deal of money, and it must be
found by whichever party is in power.
But all classes and all sections, since
all enjoy the benefits conferred by the
government, should contribute to its
support. To raise the standard, "Them
as has gifts it in the neck" is bound
to lead to defeat in the end.
