An Invitation to the President.

The representatives of the Southern
Tariff Association who called at the
White House yesterday invited the
President to attend the next meeting
of the association, appointed for Co
lumbia, S. c. The date will be fixed
to suit his convenience
1t is to be hoped the President can
accept this invitation. The subject is
so interesting, the south at present SO
interested in it, and Mr.. Harding so
effective a speaker his presence on the
occasion would add good deal to it's
Importance. All the greater attention
would be drawn to what the associa-
ton has in mind and hand.
The fact is that not in many years
has the tariff been discussed adequate
ly and earnestly in the south. For
reasons well known, the only stump
ing in that section takes place in the
tive party organization-the demo-
cratic-a nomination is equivalent to
election. Primaries thus are decided
less upon principles than personali-
ties. Often the most attractive and
persuasive men on personal grounds
carry off the nomination prizes.
In spite of this, however. a strong
protection sentiment has been develop
ing in the south, and is now indulging
in open expression. The time is pro-
pitious. therefore. for the Inauguration
and the idea is that speech or two
by the President would serve the pur-
pose. The local believers in protec-
ton would find their voices. and
through stump deliverances influence
results at the polls

Is to say. they set out to defeat its
authors for reelection.
In the case of Mr.. Esch they sue
ceeded. Through their instrumental
ity. he was denied denomination. Had
he succeeded in the primary he would
probably have been reelected. as Wis
consin gave a republican plurality of
$50. 900 in November.
In the case Of Mr.. Cummins they
failed signally. He was renominated
with ease, and Iowa gave the repub-
licans plurality of 400, 900 in Novem-
Der.
Both men have thus been saved for
further public service at Il time when
the railroad question. on which both
have specialized, is OF more Importance
than ever. Mr.. Cummins will further
address himself to it in the Senate,
while Mr.. Esch will assist in his new
place in applying the new law.
There will probably be new law. or
at least an amendment of the old law,
framed in the light of the past twelve
months experience. Government own
ership and operation are not in con-
temptation. The republican party has
declared against that policy.

Casualty Hospital Needs.

A tragedy occurred last evening in
Southeast Washington, a man shoot
ing his wife and then turning the pis-
tol upon himself. The two people
were desperately wounded and re-
quired immediate surgical attention.
They were taken to Casualty HOSPITAL.
which serves the eastern part OF the
city in emergency cases. There was
not bed vacant in that institution.
four private patients having been
turned away during the day for lack
OF accommodation. The sufferers.
after being given first-aid treatment.
were then taken to the Washington
Asylum Hospital, the nearest place,
but there also they could not be treat
ed owing to the fact that the operat.
ing room was not in order They
were finally taken to Emergency Hos.
pital, where they were treated.
This case dramatically illustrates
the urgent need Of more hospital ac-
cohmodations in this city, especially
the eastern portion. Casualty Hos.
pital has lately been asking for as.
sistance by public subscription. Iu

revenues, however, are slight and its
accommodations are limited for lack
Of proper endowment and mainte-
nance fund. 1t serves a valuable pur-
pose, covering as it does an immense
area with a rapidly growing popula-
ton.
At the Washington Asylum Hospital
no adequate provision has been made
for the treating Of emergency cases.
1t is not, strictly speaking. public
hospital in the sense Of the Emer-
gency and the Casualty. 1t is incon-
veniently located for such cases. Cas-
ualty Hospital is well placed in the
center Of its area of Jurisdiction, but
it should be at least twice as large to
meet the needs of that portion of the
city.
Every emergency case should be
taken to the nearest place Of treat
ment. With only two such hospitals
specializing in accident and crime
cases Washington is not we'll served.
The other hospitals. do, it is true, meet
emergency needs from time to time,
but only in rare instances, and they
are all crowded. Washington should
have more OF these places, and in any
case its existing equipment should be
extended so that never again will per-
sons suffering from gunshot wounds
have to be raced about town for miles
before they can receive surgical aid.

Tho Colombian Treaty.

Tie ratification of the Colombian
treaty by the Senate has. after long
years Of bitter debate. been achieved.
The movement toward this end. begun
In the Taft administration and defeat
ed by the Senate in the Wilson regime,
came to its gratifying close yesterday,
when that body, 50 to 10, voted its
necessary affirmation to the pact. A
question which has periodically dis
tressed the Americas since 1903, in the
discussion of which no assertion has
been too acrimonious for expression, Is
thus disposed Of. The nation. and the
world at large, rejoicing that we have
risen superior to the personal and po-
litical aninlosities which have hitherto
beclouded the main issue, join in ap-
proving an act which. evidencing good
VIII and justice. squaring opportunity
with obligation, replaces the United
States in the position it must ever
maintain in its relationship with its
sister republics Of this continent.
The action of the Senate fully indi-
Gates the tremendous power which
today lies in the hands Of President
Harding. Many Of those who fought
most doggedly against ratification at
President Wilson's request. whose
votes precluded an earlier settlement
OF the question, yesterday fell in line.
The inharmony at the close Of the
last administration, with a democratic
executive and a republican Senate
working at counter purposes. is hap

The Local Legislative Program.

The House District committee IS
getting down to work promptly. the
first meeting having been called 1or
next Tuesday. Chairman Focht lndl'
Gates that the three measures TO be
first considered should be the street
car merger, the school building pro-
gram and the pawnbrokers bill, as
suredly the first two Of these are OF
the most urgent Importance. 1t is es-
sential that the street railway situa-
tion be cured as quickly as possible,
and obviously the best method, the
only sure means, is by merger Of the
two corporations. Two steps are nee
essary, the effecting Of an agreement
between the companies on basis of
amalgamation and the enactment Of
law permitting it. 1t is hoped that by
the time the House is ready TO act on
the merger bill the conferences now in
progress between representatives OF
the companies and the utilities COM
mission will have yielded a result in
a program of merger. Speed on the
sirable
The school building program bill is
especially important. These needs are
urgent and increasing. At present
there is a surplus of over 10000
school children in Washington beyond
the normal capacity Of the school
plant. The population Is increasing.
In another year the surplus will be
greater. BY the time the buildings
provided for in the increased plant
measure are completed there will
probably be a surplus of 5000, if not
1900. children beyond the school
equipment Of today. This is assuredly
one Of the emergency items of the ses.
sion.
The pawnbrokers' bill, pending for
some time, is an important item which
should receive early attention. This
measure is in correction Of a condi.
tion which arose under the so-called
loan shark law, designed to check
usury in the making Of small loans to
needy people. The proponents of the
original law realize that the business
of pawnbrokers is legitimately in
need Of different treatment from the
usurers at whom the act was aimed.
They cannot do business at the rate of
interest now allowed the law. and have
removed to Virginia. It Is proposed
TO bring them back under the provi-
sions Of an amendment that Will en-.

Weeds.


The buds have frozen in the blast,
The fruit has failed once more.
The farmers plaintive sigh grows vas
And joins the north winds roar.
Yet everywhere are sprouting seeds,
And all along the line
Are evidences that the weeds
This year are doing fine.
A worthy enterprise is checked
BY some slight circumstance.
The motive. lofty and correct,
May fail to get a chance.

International Telephone Service.

The occasion of President Harding
sitting comfortably in Washington and
talking with President Menocal as COM
fortably seated in Havana. furnishes one
more interesting and instructive exam
pie Of the wonders which may be work

A heavy burden Of responsibility. how

tional service more efficient than the
average local service he is going to be
more unpopular than the delegate at an
international peace conference.

BELFAST

NJ. H. Braun of Washington, a
special representative Of the Post
Office Department was in Rockiand
recently in conference with Post
master John L. Donahue and Supt.
I Frank S. Sherman of the Eastern
Steamship Lines, Inc, Bangor DiVi-
sion, relative to the mail service on
the Boston steamships. A plan is on
foot to have the steamers which
leave Boston at 6 p. NJ. bring the
mail; and Rockland business men
are very hopeful that such a rec
ommendation will be made to the
, department. OF course if this is
done for Rockland, there is no rea-
son why Belfast should not benefit
by it and it would make several
hours difference in the mail which
would arrive about A. NJ. instead
of the late morning and would in
sure a Sunday morning mail as well.
If the steamers also took the mail
on their return to Boston at five
o'clock that would give the business
men four hours later service on the
out going mail, the last now leaving
at 40 P. NJ. and none on Sunday.
The only drawback to the scheme in
the minds of bushes men is the I'M
certainty of the arrival of the steam
ers in fog or storm which it is i'm
possible to regulate.
