The Child Welfare Exhibit.

A most instructive and helpful ex-
hibit is opened at the Public Library,
on mother and child welfare, which
should be visited by the women of
Washington, who will find in it val
liable suggestions for the care of chill
dren. This exhibit will continue for
two weeks, and should be the means of
a wide increase of knowledge on the
part of the mothers of the District in
the proper care of the little ones. Many
lives are lost for lack of wholesome
food and through insanitary condi-
tions. 1t is wonder that so many
children survive in the conditions
that prevail in some places. A
most valuable work is being done by
the local children's year committee,
which has charge Of this exhibit and
will conduct the demonstrations that
will accompany it. This work is being
done for the people Of Washington.
Those who do not themselves need the
instruction which it conveys should see
that others who do need it attend the
exhibit and realize the vital impor-
tance of cleanliness and wholesome
food for children.

The Rosenuasser Case.

Federal Judge Garvin performed a
distinct and highly praiseworthy
public service when he ordered the
dismissal of the nineteen Rosenwas-
ser cases, and a still greater one in
ordering an investigation of the tes-
timony given by Inspectors Frank
Creedon and Private Leon Meth. 1t
these two men perjured themselves,
the limit of punishment prescribed
by the law will hardly be severe
enough for their deserts.
To blame the Department of JUS
tice in a general way for the indict-
ment of men whose devotion to the
Government was such that the Judge
added unstinting praise to their ex-
oneration, would be manifestly un-
fair. The department could hardly
proceed other than it did so long as
it had faith in the reports of its in
vestigators and so long as there was
no evidence on hand and no accusa-
ton made, that should have shaken
Evening star., 1919-03-18

that faith. True, the whole case, now
that the actual circumstances sur
rounding it, are known, shows that
the high temperature of the war fe-
yer made it difficult for the authori-
ties to proceed coolly and deliberate
ly, and that some Grand Juries. like
that which returned the Henning in
dictment, found it easier to denounce
than to investigate. Still, Govern
ment inspectors are supposed to be
men of such established probity and
acumen that the average citizen,
called to Grand Jury duty, may per-
haps be excused for taking their
word implicitly and discrediting the
defendants on the general principle
that they must be guilty else they
would not be accused.
1t is, indeed, fortunate thing and
a reassuring thought that our Fed
eral Judges do not hesitate to clear
innocent men without permitting
even the stigma of jury delibera-
ton to rest upon them. An acquittal

"OnlY a Little One"

It is figured out that in consequence
Of the comparatively small amount of
gas used by the District and Federal
governments the differential rate paid
by them for gas, 20 cents thousand
cubic feet instead Of 95, the new rate
ordered for private consumption, the
private consumer pays only about one
third Of cent too much for his gas.
This difference, it is urged, is too small
to be taken into account in working
out rate that will permit the COM
pany to pay per cent dividends. That
is true, mathematically. But the fact
remains that for the same gas two
different rates are being charged in
Washington That is undesirable. If
that principle is maintained there may
easily be wider difference. The Dis
trict and the Federal government
might get their gas for nothing and
still not affect the 95-cent rate, so long
as the quantity used is relatively small.
The effect of this distinction between
the two classes of consumers is that the
gas company is mulcted in $35,n00
year for the supply of the gas. If
95-cent rate to private consumers is
necessary to enable it to pay dividends,
it follows that the company is actually
furnishing gas to the two public users
below cost. It is not fair to the stock
holders Of the gas company to be
forced to lose the $4,000. 1t is not
fair to the private consumers to have
to carry the burden of this loss. Small
as the proportion Of the differential
is, to the individual consumer it works
out into pennies and dollars on the
monthly gas bills.

this case represented a manufsctur-
ing company under contract to the
Government for the production OF
uniforms. They were accused OF con-
spiracy to defraud in skimping the
amount of material put into their
goods. Indicted along with them
were two Army officers and several
civilian inspectors in the employ of
the Government The evidence to
which the Department of Justice
could have had easy access before
seeking an indictment clearly
showed, first, that the alleged skimp-
ing, trivial and insignificant as it
was, was done on cloth owned by
the Government, which alone profit
ed by the saving; and, secondly,
that the passing of uniforms not ex-
actly conforming to specifications
was in direct obedience to orders re-
ceived from Washington. In all of
its aspects the case was weaker

in the matter of the tariff, and in that
of currency reform. Whenever he has
rendered help it has been Of an i'm
portant character.
AS yet nothing is known about what
the Presidents views are, if he has
formulated them, as to the work Of
the new Congress. He will make rec
concentrations when the body meets.
He need not speak sooner.
Neither is anything known about
what Mr.. Clark's views are. Nor need
he speak until Congress meets, if he
should care to hold his peace. On is
sues in general his record shows him
to be an fashioned democrat. On
the new issues he has his record to
make, as have many other democrats.
Mr. Clark is an old congressional
hand; has helped make, and seen
made, a good deal of congressional his
tory. He has just concluded a service
of eight years running in the Speak
er's chair. He is one of his party's
strongest debaters and most capable
parliamentarians. To think of him,
therefore, as without individuality in
the House is quite impossible. That
the President and the House minority
should work together is easily con-
ceded But harmony should be the re-
suit Of conferences, with the minority
through it's leader given opportunity
for expressions of opinions.

Cheers for the Hohenzollerns

1t is reported from Berlin that at
the opening meeting of the Prussian
diet one of the delegates, whose name
is confused in the transmission, made
a speech in favor of the Hohenzollcrns
and proposed that Prussia should re-
store the monarchy. The dispatch
states that the socialists protested, but
the greater part of the civil parties
applauded the speech.
This is but one Of many signs that
monarchism is not dead in Germany.
1t is true that the immediate PROPOSE
ton in this case is for the restoration
merely of the Prussian monarchy. But,
of course, there can be no Prussian
monarchy in the midst of German
republic. The bare proposition is pre-
posterous unless it is intended as a
start toward the restoration of the
monarchical principle throughout Ger
many.
That monarchism will continue to be
advocated in Germany is to be ex.
pected. The present organization at
Berlin is not above suspicion of pro-
monarchical leaning. 1t is openly ac-
cused by some Of being merely trus-
teeship for the Hohenzollerns, await
ing favorable opportunity. Probably
if such a purpose exists it is agreed by
the leaders that no move shall be made
until after the peace treaty has been
signed. To start a monarchical move
ment now while the conference at Paris
is sitting in judgment upon Germany
would be stupid.
If the German people want a mon
archy after they have been brought to
the point of defeat, loss, suffering, hu-
initiation and tremendous Indebtedness
it is to certain extent their business
and theirs alone as far as it affects
themselves. But the allied powers will
doubtless in their peace terms make it
impossible for a monarchy to be es-
tablished in Germany to carry on a
scheme Of conquest and dominion and
war-making at some future time. In
any case there will be no tolerance of
the Hohenzollern regime. The thumbs
are down against that family as fac.
tor in the affairs of Germany now or
henceforth.

The House Minority Leadership

>S3S >e~s SSs~~S~oe>.Es
A nice point seems involved in the
opposition to Champ Clark for the mi
nority leadership of the House. Should
the man chosen for the place be no
more than, so to say, representative
of the administration Should he sim
ply ascertain the views and wishes Of
the President as to legislation, and
then shape his own course according
lyi Should he press no views Of his
own, nor counsel the minority as to an
initiative7
Mr.. Clark has not always been in
agreement with the President. In the
carly days Of the first administration
he opposed the proposition to repeal
the law granting free passage to
American coastwise ships through the
Panama canal, and descended from
the chair to the floor to speak against
it. He asserted that he knew no reason
for the proposition. He is probably
no wiser today Neither is anybody
else. And there have been other diff
ferences.
But in many things Mr.. Clark has
agreed with the administration, and
been Of service to it. he was helpful

stadt after carrying the Polish line to
Krotoschin. The former is almost due
south Of Breslau and the latter is al
most due north. If the line runs be-
tween these two points it will grant to
Poland fully one-third of German ST.
lesia, comprising practically all of the
province of Oppeln. 1t is suggested in
the dispatch that the definition of the
Polish southern boundary is not COM
plete, which indicates that the COM
mission has not yet settled the ques-
tion of the Silesian coal fields. claimed
by both Poland and Czechoslovakia.
If the corridor is established as thus
outlined it will not only give Poland
the access to the Baltic which has
formed one of her most cherished de-
sires, but it will definitely place ter
ritorial barrier between Germany and
bolshevik Russia.

is a poor sort of consolation when
honest men are accused, because
juries have been known to err both
ways, and the public, invariably ac-
cepting conviction as indisputable
proof of guilt, is not always inclined
to consider acquittal an infallible
proof of innocence. 1t takes courage
for Federal Judge to throw out as
elaborate a chain of cases as those
of the Rosenwasser Brothers and
their co-defendants, but the exist
ence and exercise of that courage is
a safeguard of our rights more de-
pendable even than the law itself.
Now that this case has proceeded
to such sensational juncture, let it
be probed to the very bottom; and
we trust that U. S. District Attorney
Bell will not forget to investigate
the report that an attempt was
made by some one to write an ex-
oneration of the Department of JUS
tice into Judge Garvin's opinion
which never passed his lips. =
