a Guard Arm0ry.

A Board. Of Trade committee has
resolved to renew its efforts at the
next session of Congress to secure aH
appropriation for a start on an armory
for the District National Guard. There
lie an excellent prospect Of action to
this end. At the last session the item
was included in one Of the appropria-
ton bills, and it probably would have
by now been law had it not been for the
Jam at the close. But it win require
steadfast work to insure it's inclusion
in the redrawn bin, and. to. this end
the committee Of the Board Of Trade
ID to bend its efforts. The 're6rganized
District Guard should have an afmory.
The old guard never had an adequate
home, but was forced to occupy rented
and makeshift quarters, with the re-
suit Of discouraging its members and
checking its development. Washington
should have model National; Guard

From Grave to Cav.

It has been the custom Of some of
the most: eminent thinkers on public
questions to employ the anecdote to
Ioint a moral and emphasize a prin-
ciple. Some of the best known fables,
poems and dramas Of ancient days
originated in such efforts. This form
of appeal to attention is so direct that
unless deftly made it becomes over
whelming in humorous force and de-
feats the serious purpose to which it
was meant to be only Incidental.
There are tive we'll known stories
which the senators now interesting
themselves in the league of nations
might be tempted to recall in con
nection with that subject. One is Of
the difident young curate who was
invited to breakfast with the bishop.
EDoesn't your egg please youf" in
quired the bishop. "Oh, yes" pro-
tested the curate. "Some parts of it
are very good, indeed"
The other story is that Of man
whose musical knowledge was linn
tied, but who desired his daughter to
play the piano, The daughter duti-
fully tried, with inexperienced hands,
to perform on the instrument OH which
paternal pride had spared no expense.
A shade Of disappointment swept over
the old gentleman's face, but he did
not weaken. keep at 1t, SAL" he said.
" The Star Spangled Banner's' in thar

Some statesman with a CLINT Of Lin

tration to impress matters of deep sig
nificance might easily utilize these
time-tried episodes of Ahgle-Saxon
laughter in considering the doubts
and delays in Paris that are now the
object Of so much concern.

ably very few and exceptional. Such
men have but to make known their
situation to be quickly relieved. 1t is
better for them to go directly to an
established organization or to business
leaders in their communities and state
their case and ask for aid than to go
upon the streets and beg.
All cases Of imposition should be Sc
verely punished. Those who are ask
ing aims in the uniforms Of soldiers
are casting discredit upon the men
who formed the American Army and
diseredit as well upon the people here
at home. The police, should and prob
ably will be alert to investigate these
practices and whenever man is found
using the uniform to arouse
the charitable impulses Of the people
he should be taken into custody.

POLITICS AT HOME
Taft and Hughes

When Mr.. Taft showed interest in
the Proposition for league of nations
and took the platform in its behalf, it
was assumed by many politicians that
he had SHE'D his hat into the presi-
Dental ring; that he had thus, in eff
| feet, announced himself candidate
for next years republican nomination.
Had he helped +his chances by taking
the Presidents side of the question
Some thought he had. Others took the
opposite view. All alike noted that,
while supporting the President, he was
yet suggesting amendments to the plan
the President had espoused.
Charles E. Hughes has followed Mr..
Taft into the arena of discussion, and
his action is interpreted as sign that
he also has presidential hopes for next
year: that he is to be reckoned with in
all republican calculations.
However this may be-and at best
it is but assumption-let us all rejoice
in the fact that these two men, though
out Of Office and engaged with their
private affairs, are yet still taking a
very keen interest in public affairs.
Both have established strong claims to
public respect and confidence. Their
admirers are found i'll both parties.
They have had large experience with
large matters. So that, at this time,
when matters larger than any the
country has faced for a long time are
in hand, their counsel is of exceptional
value.
As for the presidency, it may be
mentioned that neither man is barred
by his experience in Office, or by any
thing, from White House aspirations.
Mr.. Taft has occupied the mansion
for four years, and carried himself we'll
during the time. He offered for sec
ond term, but lost through division
Of his party. His administration, in
the main, was excellent.
And surely Mr.. Hughes is not barred
from second try by the defeat of his
first. He came within an ace Of sue
cess. He made brilliant campaign,
and lost by a few thousand votes in a
"bobble" made in republican state
California.
In these two men the republicans
are fortunate. If neither is nominated
next year both will yet be available
for stumping purposes, and, later, in
case of republican success, for cabinet
service, or diplomatic service Of the
highest grade.

An Extra Session.

A strong desire is widely expressed
for an early session of Congress-as
early as early May. 1t is not confined
to republican circles. 1t has not to do
solely with the supplies the recent Con-
gress failed to vote. . 1t grows in part
out of general conditions-out Of the
unrest existing in the business world
out of feeling that as the time for
reconstruction has arrived and the or
der is so large, and that as so much
depends on what shape reconstruction
is to take, the sooner start is made
the better.
Impatience is increased by the fact
that, if summoned, Congress could be-
gi to function in forty-eight hours
after the gavels fell. In both House
and Senate the majority is ready. Com
mittee assignments have been agreed
upon. True, there is some murmur in
House circles and some in Senate cir
cles, but in neither is there the threat
Of deadlock, OF even an ineonvenient
delay. .-.... ....s
This is most creditable to the repub.
lican leadership, which, appraising the
situation correctly, has taken the
stitch in time. 1t is likewise assuring
to the country, forecasting teamwork
ON measures when taken up. -,
And the country needs assurance. It
is facing new conditions-faciIigt them
squarely. They are Che natural re-
suits of our recent new and extraor-
dinary experience. We could not have
escaped them AS an actor, and lead.
ing one, in the greatest war drama in
history, we were bound to throw our
affairs out Of plumb.
Our task now is to bring our affairs
into line again and it, is rendered the
more difficult by reason of the fact
that the old line is anattainable.- We
must bring them into line with what
the new times demand. There must be
agreement as to what that demand Is.
The President knows Of this senti-
ment He was advised of it when he
ran over from Paris, and has been kept
informed on the subject since. He has
made no public sign as to his inten-
tions, and none has been expected. His
time is occupied with other matters. !
Besides; he is much given to keeping
hts own counsels about bis purposes.

cratic leader in either House or Senate

The Vice Presidency.

While many men are being mention
ed for President, nobody is being men
toned for Vice President. And yet
there have been races in which the can
didate for second place was very much
in the calculation.
In 1880, Senator Conkling, who had
been in charge of the Grant boom, was
left very much in the dumps by the
nomination of Gen. Garfield. To raise
his spirits it was thought advisable to
complete the ticket with a New Yorker,
and Gen. Arthur, one of the senator's
warmest friends, was chosen. The se-
lection proved happy one. Mr.. Conk-
ling was mollifed, entered the cam
paign with spirit, and proved great
force for his party on the stump that
year. In some quarters opinion prevail
ed that he pulled the ticket through.
Republican prospects for awhile were
far from bright.
In 1884 Mr.. Blaine won the nomina-
ton for President over the stalwart
faction of his party, and this made it
advisable to draw upon that faction
for runningmate. Gen. Logan was
selected. As he had cherished presi-
Dental aspirations, he did not like the
situation, but, being a stanch party
man, yielded, and undoubtedly brought
strength to the ticket.
That year the democrats had trouble
in completing their ticket. Mr.. Cleve-
land had only parochial reputation.
Thomas A. Hendricks had been ma
tional quantity for years, and several
times an aspirant for his party's ma
tional leadership. Now he was asked
to take place behind a man whose prin-
cipal recommendation was that he
could carry New York. Mr.. Hendricks
was strongly inclined to decline; but
party pressure overcame his objection.
He carried his state by a substantial
majority, whereas Mr.. Cleveland car.
ried New York by only little over q
thousand. e
In 1883, Mr.. Cleveland, who had be-
come unpopular, needed strong yoke
mate, and Allen G.. Thurman was nam
ed. Mr.. Hendricks had died in Office.
Mr.. Thurman had long been one Of his
party's most trusted and attractive fig
ures. He was called "the Old Roman"
"the noblest Roman of them ALL" He
accepted reluctantly, and did his best,
but even he proved unequal to the task
Tho ticket was beaten, both New York
and Ohio giving their votes to Har-
rison and Morton.
So there are times when the second
man is very important in the equation.
Will next year bring one Of those
