kept in the background, ready for i'm

the function Of routine patrolling was
vested in the police. An Illuminating
justification for this course lies in the
fact that the need for putting the
military into action never material
lied.
The danger has not yet passed. The
advice of the leaders of the colored
citizens of Washington to their peo-

The Mapes Bill in Committee.

Tomorrow the House committee on
the District of Columbia will meet,
having before it bill introduced by
Representative Mapes, it's chairman,
abrogating the half and half principle
of financing the District and providing
for meeting the expenses Of the Ma
tional Capital first from the District
revenues and then out of such federal
funds as may be necessary to complete
the budget, without fixed ratio. The
District citizens who have had in
charge the work of safeguarding the
organic act from needless and inequi-
table change have asked for hearing
on the subject of this bill, and their
request will be considered by the com
mittee tomorrow. There should be no
doubt of the committees action on this
matter. A hearing should, of course,
be granted, with sufficient time for the
preparation and presentation of the
Districts case against repeal.
Elsewhere in The Star today is set
forth the basis of the argument against
inf1icting the death penalty upon the
half-and half principle and in favor
of fixed ratio of federal contribu-
ton. 1t is pointed out that the fuc-
tuating plan of indefinite contribu-
ton, fixed from year to year by Con-
,gress, deprives the capital of the eff
,fective safeguard against excessive
local taxation and Of the guaranty of
substantial annual capital contribu-
ton by the nation, with which the
half-andhalf plan blesses it.
It furnishes no ground whatever of
stimulating and enlarging the nations
sense Of obligation toward the capital.
This plan, under which the nation,
through Congress, fixed from year to
year the national contribution, existed
from 1900 to 1873. During this period
the national obligation was primary,
exclusive, dominating, just as it is to-
day. The nation, with full liberty to
measure its capital obligation in dol
lars and contributing what it pleased,
contributed little or nothing. The in
definite fuctuating plan brought dis
tress to the capital and shame upon
both nok;or ,n1 o,~;&,1
The plan of definite proportionate
contribution toward the capitals mu-
nicipal expenses, which has prevailed
since 1878, has no tendency to prevent
the nation from spending what it
pleases on national lines for capital de-
velopment through other appropriation
bills than the District bill. On the con-
trary, through the operation of the
organic act itself, that national pride
in the nations city was developed
which has inspired the nations affec-
tionate consideration and fostering
care of its modern capital. Since the
half-and- half plan has thus had no tend
ency to check or discourage the most
lii eral expenditures on exclusively ma
tional lines in capital development, the
abolition of this plan will have no
tendency to make Congress more pa
triotically liberal on either national
or municipal lines.

Respite From Strife.

Whether because the passion of the
race antagonists had spent itself or
because of the show of force through
out the city, with the police supple
mented by fully twice their number
of soldiers, sailors and marines, the
city was practically free from rioting
last night. One man was killed and
one dangerously wounded in a single
encounter, but otherwise there were no
really serious disturbances, and night
that had been dreaded as fraught with
possibilities of infinite trouble and
tragedy passed in comparative calm.
For this the people are devoutty
thankful and are grateful to those
agencies that were instrumental in pre-
serving order. They are grateful to
the police and the soldiery for their
efficient work in patrolling the streets
and keeping the crowds dispersed.
They are grateful to the leaders of the
eolored people who exercised their in
fuenee in closing places Of assembly
and.by their good advice kept large
numbers of the colored citizens within
their homes.
Much efficient work was done yes
terday and last night by members of
the police force in individual efforts
to reassure the colored population and
to spread a feeling of confidence in
the efficiency of the law forces for the
maintenance of order. The feeling of
panic that prevailed on Monday night
was greatly. allayed by this means.
Without doubt the fact that large
number of additional soldiers had
been ordered to the city from Camp
Meade had much to do with quelling
the riotous spirit that had famed forth
On Monday night and the two nights
preceding.
Had full warning been taken Of the
disturbances of Saturday night and an
adequate force of troops been then
secured from the government, it is
probable that the rioting Of Sunday
and Monday nights would not have &C.
Cured. Evidently the danger was I'M
derestimated, or the acquisitions Of
the District government for aid were
not sufficiently met. As doubtless an
investigation will be conducted into
these tragic occurrences the fact will
eventually be made known3 whether
the situation was properly adjudged at
the District building or at the War
Department. At present it is unfair
to attempt to fix the responsibility
for the obvious inadequaey Of protec-
ton on Monday night.

No Collection Service Tips.

1t is well for every householder in
the District to know that under the
new District appropriation act it is I'M
lawful to give tip to any garbage,
ash or trash collector. The penalty
falls upon the person who gives the
tip. This provision was adopted to
put an end to a practice which had
demoralized the service and caused
the collections to be unequal and in
effective. The giving of tips is sure
way to make for favoritism. Once
started it is difficult to stop. Now
everybody can start even, and if all
the tips are cut out nobody will be
favored, and so far as the service Is
sufficient nobody will be sighted. This
law should be strictly obeyed. 1t
should not be regarded as one Of those
things that can be lodged with safety.

Two Factors for Good Order.

In weighing the factors which con-
trbuted to last nights material de-
crease in the race rioting. which had
disgraced Washington for more than
torty-eight hours, two important fea-
lures should not be overlooked. The first
is the fact that the best element of
the colored citizens of the District yes
terday gave unstinted. support to the
admonitions of the authorities that the
streets be kept clear after nightfall.
By the spoken word, by printed cir
cular, by force of example they urged
strict compliance with this advice upon
their fellow citizens. And to their eff
forts, as much as to the sporadic
showers, the police authorities give
credit for the happy fact that the mobs
which, on the three preceding nights,
swayed through the colored sections
of the city were entirely checked.
Distrustful of the orders and advice
of the authorities, Washington's col
cred citizenry needed the words of
their own leaders and the streets were
kept clear.
The second contributing factor lies
IN the tactics of the authorities in the
junction of maintaining order. With
:; largely increased military force for
this purpose on hand there was a ma
terial reduction in their numbers con-
snicuous on the streets. Whoever was
responsible for the psychological acu-
men which led to this change-and the
police claim that the idea originated
with Capt. Doyle of the eighth pre-
cinct-displayed wise foresight. For
the strategy involved in the conspicu-
Gus use of uniformed military in
patrolling the streets was dubious
one when it is borne in mind that the
original clashes in the rioting were be-
tween colored men and men in the
service Of the United States. So, last
tight the military forces on hand were
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-23

of frequent occurrence. The situation
of today is not the situation when
Congress met. The situation two
months hence may differ materially
from today's situation. But whatever
the changes, and whenever they occur,
the party in control of Congress must
take note and deal with them.
The session opened well. Both
houses were ready. The delayed sup
ply bills were recast and disposed OF
in good time, and in the main in good
shape. The achievement was highly
creditable to those who directed it.
But the greater test comes now. a.
mere glance at the congressional card
shows work in abundance and the ne
cessity for thorough understanding
in its execution. 1t should be well
done, and when done should represent
the party in united form and purpose.
A joint conference would not mean
interference by the Senate in House
matters, or by the House in Senate
mattrs, but only Il general survey Of
all matters with which this Congress
has to do. The very divisions that
now exist can be turned to good ac
count if searched for the underlying
causes, and pains are taken to modify
or remove those causes. and thus pre-
vent the spread of the trouble. A
conference in time might save nine.
There is nothing like moving prompt
ly to remove a difficulty after it has
declared itself.

Republican Divisions,

It is suggested that as the republi-
cans of the Senate are not united, it
would be we'll for them to copy the
example of the House republicans and
call conference.
The Senate republicans are not di-
vided alone on the league question.
There are other questions they are find
ing it difficult to agree about. Agree
ment in their case is imperative.
Their margin Of control is perilously
narrow. The House republicans have
some leeway-they can lose a number
of votes and still show a majority on
roll call.
The argument for union in the House
applies to the Senate. Reconstruc-
ton is at hand, and policies must be
inaugurated, or both the country and
the republican party will suffer. The
country is looking to that party to
begin the work. The November man
date is plain, and means business.
Nothing short Of business will an
swer.
In the circumstances, is not a
further suggestion in ordera Why
not a joint conference between the re-
publicans Of the two housesf Why
not a canvass on general lines of the
whole situation, taking into account
what has been promised by the party,
what is expected by the country, and
what the penalty will inevitably be
next year if the party shows up then
delinquent in performance?
Conditions are such that changes are
