it be the franchise or a living wage,

The disposition Of contractors, deal
ers in building materials and repre-
sentatives of the building trades to
get together for the alienation of the
building situation in the District is a
hopeful sign. The plans suggested
would seem to be practical. The con-
ference at the District building and the
proposition. to have the District Com
nissioners appoint a committee rep
resentinG the various building inter.
ests to draw up building program
constitute good start. The high
points Of the suggested agreement be-
tween the several agencies that co-or-
dinate in putting up new buildings
seem to the outsider to be eminently
fair. It. is proposed that the sellers
Of building material shall not increase
the price Of their wares during the
progress Of a stated piece of construc.
ton, that labor shall not seek increased
pay after entering upon a specific
piece Of work, and that the banks shall
furnish building loans at the lowest
possible interest rate. There is house

ments and plans looking to its relief
are to be commended.

Jobs for Soldiers.

The disposition of the American peo-
pie is that American soldiers having
performed their duty and returned to
civil life shall not be neglected. The
republic means to be grateful. Secre-
tary Lane struck high and clear note
when, in requesting the $4,000 en-
ployes Of the Interior Department to
give their aid in obtaining employ
ment for discharged soldiers needing
it, he said that it is the duty and obli-
CATION Of the government to provide
jobs for these returning soldiers, and
that all agencies of the government
should cooperate in finding employ
meut for those needing it. Another
plan looking to placing unemployed
discharged soldiers in positions is that

Tag Day for Babies.

respond. Saturday is to be q tag day
under the auspices Of the women's
board Of Columbia Hospital for Wom-
en-, and the money collected is to be
applied to new hospital supplies, baby
clothing and other things needed by
these new and tiny citizens. One thou
sand or more babies are born in Co
lumbia Hospital each year. 1t is said
that one-eighth of the Washington
born babies come out of fairyland and
enter the big world through this hos.
pital. The cause is good one, and
the tag day enterprise, guaranteed by
the women's board Of the hospital, can
be approved by everybody. Let us all
be tagged for the contentment of the

the United States of America and the
keen commercial instinct with which
they are seeking to revive old and Sc.
led to many complaints that British
manufacturers are being left far be-
hind in the struggle for the markets
Of the world"
The paper mentions Norway, Swe.
den, Denmark and Finland as coun,
tries where this American activity ap,
pears, and adds that "in all parts Of
the world the American manufacturer
is very much to the fore, while moth.
ing is seen of his British competitor"
Maybe there is a little bugaboo-
shaking on both sides. It may be one
of the tricks of trade. Maybe neither
the Englishman nor the American is
as yet as much in evidence as de-
scribed.
But, for our part, let us not forget
for a moment that the English are ex-
pert traders; that they know, and be-
fore the great war were represented
in. all profitable foreign markets; that
they have. and for long have had, an
adequate merchant marine; that they
can easily re-establish the foreign
credits dislocated by the war, and
which enabled them to cultivate for
eign markets to every advantage.
Hence, if they are not at present as
active as described they soon will be |;
and when they get into their trading
stride they will be dangerous competi-
tors.
We have been out of the game so
long, we shall for time be learners
something like apprentices by COM
parison with master workmen. We
shall have to keep our eyes open
peeled for the way our competitors are
moving-and profit not only by their
mistakes, but from a close study of
their successes.
The American business man, whether
producer or distributor, is quick and
keen and industrious; and in the hot
race he is now entering he should give
such an account Of himself as will soon
show him in the front rank, if not at
the head, of the procession.

Modern Working Conditions.

The United States Chamber Of Com
merce has sent out to trade bodies and
business firms thirteen suggestions for
promoting harmony between employers
and employees. There has been a
marked improvement in the relations
between these classes during the dee
ads, and the improvement seems to be
proceeding at a satisfactory rate and
perhaps at an accelerated rate. There
has been a great change for the bet
ter in working conditions and working
surroundings. New mills, factories
and other industrial plants are erected
with view to health and contentment
Of employees. Lighting and ventilation
are looked after. Rest rooms and
lunchrooms are provided. Recreation
is given attention and games, dancing
and entertainments are encouraged.
These features are being introduced
into old plants. Pension, life insur-
ance and profit-sharing systems are be-
ing extended. Model homes for en-
ployes and schools for their children
are being set up by many of the large
industrial concerns. The working day
has been shortened and the pay in
creased. The tendency all along the
line is to promote the idea that en-
ployer and employe are partners aud
that hearty cooperation between them
il wise business policy.

injustice and denial of rights, have
shown him worthy of our confidence
and praise"
A most worthy appropriation, and
likely to accomplish a great deal OF
good. 1t will hearten those for whose
benefit it has been made. They will
apprec;a c;ate it beyond its money value.
As a soldier the negro under white
leadership has always shown high
quality. He trains we'll. He has
good deal Of endurance on the march.
He is brave in battle. He is seldom
deserter, and rarely mutineer.
In the civil war the Federal com
manders found him reliable and serv-
iceable In the war with Spain he did
excellent work both in Cuba and in
the Philippines. In France he quite
distinguished himself, won his share
of the honors bestowed by the French,
and was warmly praised by his own
officers. Col. Haywood Of New York,
who commanded a negro regiment
overseas, expresses great pride in the
bearing and achievements of his men.
In America the negro is an asset,
both in war times and in peace times.
A war period has just closed. A peace
period is just opening. As the negro
bore himself we'll as soldier, and is
receiving credit for his record in the
field. he should be at pains to bear
himself we'll as civilian. If he does,
he will receive credit for that. 1t will
help materially in the efforts his white
friends will continue to make for his
betterment and advancement.
Reconstruction, soon to be inaugu-
rated, will not be confined to trade
and correlated matters. Those matters
are, of course, of the highest impor-
tance. The material resources of the
country must be fully developed. In
dustrial America should take the fore
most place among the nations.
But, at the same time, and to make
secure our material advancement, spir-
itual advancement must be attended
to. Our educational system must be
strengthened and extended. Our citi
zenship must be improved. Greater
protection must be thrown around both
life and property. Greater respect for
law musf ho inculcated in all white
and colored alike. A reconstruction
leading up to those things will be re-
construction, indeed, and all should as
sist in work so worthy.

The Presidents Return.

The date of the Presidents return is
uncertain. Paris hears he will sail the
latter part of this month. That would
land him at home early in May, and
enable him, if he cared, to advance the
meeting Of Congress a few days.
But the Paris story is denied. The
President, it is stated, will 60 to Yer
sailles, and "remain long enough to
see the work of the peace congress car
ried through AS that work will not
begin until the 25th instant, and may
take some days, the denial sheds no
light on the Presidents probable sail
ing day.
1t is assumed, however, that when
the President does return or by cable
just before he returns he will ar
range for an early meeting of Con-
gress. Much business is pressing, and
the delayed supply bills cannot wait.
They must be disposed Of by June 30.
There Is some speculation about the
special session. One line of it is that
Congress will address itself immedi-
ately to the supply bills, confne its
work to them, and as soon as they are
passed take recess until fall, In that
way the heat Of July and August will
be avoided, and so much time given
to the thinking out and shaping of the
more urgent reconstruction measures.
But what about the peace treaty.
II that is presented promptly to the
Senate, action Or it will be asked by
the President, and expected by the
country, at as early a day as possible.
The length Of the debate will neces-
sarily depend on the terms Of the
treaty. If they prove acceptable to the
Senate, ratification should be easy.
But if they are not acceptable, and
particularly as to the league of ma
tions feature, considerable debate may
be expected.
When Congress meets, whether on
june / or on some other day, it should
buckle to its task with the resolution
to stick until the task is completed.
It will face vary large order-quite
the largest in half eentury-and the
