A Bread Line Memorial.

A FUND to support bread line at the Bowery
n Mission would certainly in way, seem al
propriate a memorial to the author of Hard
Times Come Again No More" Maybe this would
be both appropriate and best for Stephen c. Foster,
who himself knew hard times. penury and privation.
But he deserves more than this, not great mu-
sican poet, but whose poems set to
music by himself typical of the popular songs
of his day and were, in fact, national expression
No other American song writer was ever quite
so beloved in his music nor less known in his per-
son. His melodies touched the heart and had an
abiding place and influence in the lives of the people
They had healing note, great element OF solace
and consong power which was nationally most
helpful. These old songs close to being folk
songs, index the character of their period
as jazz and popular songs of today are OF this
period Even those who lived on the edge of "Od
Folks at Home" "Od Dog Tray" "My Old Ken
lucky Home" Nellie Gray" and the others still
familiar as music ii not the words, cannot but con-
trast the then with now and wonder at our boasted
advance in civilization.
|. In the meanwhile we have acquired the bread
line for which it is proposed to have Stephen c.
Foster stand sponsor Maybe it is we'll, but if this
generation of all of us had more OF the old meo-
dies in our hearts and less of jazz in DISPOSE
tions, there would be less need of that sort OF
memorial to Foster.

lust because a man is a Senator OF the United
Il States does not carry the conclusion that he
takes off his disposition and his human nature and
hangs them on a peg outside before he enters the
sacred precincts of government. The fact of high
office does not include the going into the Senate
chamber stripped down TO the nakedness of bare
intellect supported a dome, on high chested
conscience
On the contrary, Senators quite the same
inside the chamber outside, and in Washington
as at home. Like all men, they occasionally re-
vert TO adolescence in both sportiveness, and tenn
per. They can get mad, say nasty things and
"dast" each other just do boys. They are some
times more fascinating at such times and give
more of reinsurance that the affairs of state are
safe in their hands, than when in more serious
moods Frequently occasion needs to be light
ened and lifted from the dodrums of the ruts of
formality by few high lights of human nature.
1t is not cause for surprise, for alarm, or for
censure that Senator McCumber and Senator Reed
called each other things and nearly, seemingly
nearly, came to blows. 1t is of course that Sena-
tor Tom Watson and Senator Robinson were ready
to get into the muss, whether of words or blows
They couldn't help it. they couldn't keep out They
were all there with all of themselves. No one
need think that coming to Congress inherently
changes anyone, for it doesn't
All of them doubtless felt the better for the
episode, which was in no unnatural to any
save Mr. McCumber, who was certainly excusable
as officiating at the obseques of his favorte bill.
There are limits to what man can stand all of
heap. Probably the others quite pleased with
themselves since there they had to go
home to. Anyway it broke the monotony and
was an excellent exposition of the value and need

Service Men Compensation.

THE HERALD is in receipt of the notice OF the
cleanup campaign" Of the Bureau OF War
Risk Insurance. To be this would get proper
attention, five copies OF five typewriter pages each
identical with the others, incosed with protec-
tive cardboard each side, in oversize manila
envelope of the best quality. Probably the purpose
was to insure news notice editorial comment, that
the makeup foreman would be it got in the
FORMS and that the Congressional and departmental
reporters would not duplicate it in their stuff
How else account for the five copies? Fortu-
nateIy Gen. Dawes not in the office when the
package was received and there only the city
editor to muss up the atmosphere But the intent
of the campaign is admirable; maybe worthy of
such emphasis as being unusual. 1t is to reach
every disabled service and woman to secure an
adjustment of compensation and insurance claims.
1t indicates that the bureau has already cleaned up
the business in hand sufficiently to be eager for
more.
The help OF the American Legion and the Red
Cross is asked through the district managers. They
are all to get busy and surely all newspapers will
gladly do their part to bring notice to all service
men that they may expect prompt attention
to their claims The organization for the work seems
to be complete the net widespread, and if anyone
with worthy claim is overlooked, it will be because
he is too busy making money to care for any of
his Uncle Sans.

Discusses Jim Crow Cars.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In a late issue Of The Herald j.
c. Cunningham suggests a solution
of the Jim Crow" car problem: Let
the colored people put their money
together and buy railroad cars, just
like the Pullman Car Company and
private family cars" How will that
proposal appeal to the colored peo-
Pile? Would they accept such a So
luton: II is not likely they would.
Mr.. Cunningham says: mo sensible
colored men and women care 4 rap
for riding in railroad cars with the
whites" Is that broad assertion in
accord with the facts? Let us see
about that. 1t is a matter of his
tory that many instances have oc-
CURED where colored people have
objected to being isolated from rid
ing in coaches meant for white peo-
pie and have brought suit against
the railroads for being elected from
cars intended for the whites only.
As a matter of fact. the solored
people object 10 separate street cars
here in Washington. When bills
have been introduced in Congress,
as frequently OOne III tne past, ltNu
protests have been made by the
leading colored men OF the city.
II the colored people had sufficient
pride and self-respect and an inde-
pendent spirit. they would not OBJ
ject to separate cars. provided they
are-and they should be-eaual in
every respect to the cars set apart
for the white people. There are
separate schools, separate churches
for the whites and blacks, and the
latter have their separate theaters,
why not. then. have separate street
cars? Is there any good reason
against il?
have been told that some time
in the past separate cars had been
in use. but II did not work because
when there was a rush for office in
the morning and for home in the
afternoon white people would in
wade cars apportioned to the col
ored people. and consequently the
plan was abolished.

part of the law for any one. white
