The Victory Memorial.

Actual work on the great victory
memorial projected by the George
Washington Memorial Association Is
within the range Of early accomplish.
ment. Recently received donations
bring the building fund to within $780,
900 of the half-million-dollar mark,
which has been set as the necessary
starting point. These two donations
were of $4,000 each. Unfortunately
the names Of the donors are not dis
closed, as they wish to remain anony-
nous. which, Of course. Is the most
admirable spirit Of modesty, but it is
to be regretted that the generous con.
tributors may not be publicly known
and thanked. In the same spirit. too.

If the example Of this citizen who

every man who fell in the great war
not only the building fund but that

The successful assault on Cannon

the power that had 50 long attached

Rewarding Useful Citizenship.

Only q few days ago a prize was
awarded Edward W. Box for the writ.

teaching patriotic and useful service
to the people," Recently Mr.. Box.
turning donor himself, re-evidenced
the fullness of the Characterization
Of which he has written so vividly, by
establishing an annual prize Of $4,000
for that Philadelphian who during the
preceding year shall have done an
act or rendered a service best calculat.
ed to advance the largest interests Of
Philadelphia"
Philadelphia is to be congratulated.
The metropolis on the Schuykill, the

a devotion and pride which must in.
volve in generous measure that will to

there can be no doubt but that the
award just established will-not as a
reward to be self f.consciously striven
for, but as an assurance that disin-
terested public service is to be recog-
nized-inspire Philadelphia citizens to
still larger evidence Of useful Ameri-
canism.
Mr.. Bok's benefaction to Philadel-
phia may surely be taken as an ex.
preston of his gratitude to the nation,
and as such will be generally applaud.
ed as more than a munihcent gesture.
The establishment Of similar prizes.

Republicans and the Tariff.

lno HOUSE republicans at their
caucus Wednesday night did not reach
an agreement on disputed points in
their tarif program. and adjourned
without naming a time for another
meeting. III at first you don't sue.
coed. try. try again." :
This tariff dispute Is worth a Sec
ond. and. If necessary, even a third
and fourth trial.
Both parties have found the tariff
question difficult. Both in times past
have split on it. and paid penalty at
the polls.
Tho democrats have split on the
principle OF protection. Many have
rejected 1t outright: have been able to
see no good in it: have insisted that a
low tariff. we'll framed and adhered to,
would do more Tor the country than
protection has ever done. Others have
advocated protection. and. at times, in
Congress and out. voted for it.
The republicans, united on the prin-
ciple. have split on the application of
It. The east. the citadel OF manu-.
facture. has always asked for higher
protective duties than the west. the
citadel Of agriculture. 1t was the clash
between the interests Of those two
sections that brought the Payne re.
vision to grief. and in 1910 gave the
congressional elections to the demo.
Gratis. Chairman Payne Of ways and
means. being q New Yorker. took the
eastern view Of revision. and the west.
ern men antasonized him to the point
OF open rupture. Caucuses and private
conferences were held in vain.
That history is only twelve years
old-made in the spring and summer
Of 1903. The republicans in Congress
are familiar with 1t. Some members
Of the present House helped to make
It. Surely they do not desire to make
any more ,of the same kind.

Rate by Mail-Payable in Advane
Equitable Street Car Fares.

What street car fare should Con-
gress or the Public Utilities Commis-
sion or both permit to be exacted?
Five, six, seven or eight cents?
The correct answer to this question
involves the ascertainment Of the
services to be rendered by the street
car companies and the reasonable cost
Of rendering them. The duty rests
upon the utilities commission to re-
quire: d) A high standard Of street
railway service: (2) payment of more
than mere living wage to the workers
who operate the road; (0 payment OF
such fares, equitably imposed. and
such wise and fair readjustment of
taxes by Congress as will enable the
companies to render the services re.
quired. to pay the fair wages exacted.
to meet other expenses Of economical
administration and to make reasonable
return in interest or dividends to those
whose money is invested in the roads.
The utilities commission. by author
fly Of Congress. has by action indirect
ly affecting wages and affecting di.
rectly working conditions and services
to be rendered, determined in effect
the roads monthly outgo. There is no
escape in equity from a corresponding
obligation in respect to the roads in
come. Power Of control and responsi.
bility go hand.in-hand.
1t is urged by some that the Capital
Traction fare be Immediately cut to
5 cents on the ground that on that
rate it can meet all the requirements
been recited. and that the Washington
Railway and Electric car fare be left
at the higher figure, which will be
required to enable it to meet its great
er cost of operation, due to its far
greater trackage Of now improbable
suburban lines.
Advocates Of this discrimination be-
tween the car fares 10 be charged by
the two systems are indirect advocates
Of the zone system Of car fares. under
which the passengers faro Ii proper
toned to the distance he travels. An.
alysis Of the conditions and equities
involved shows clearly that in fair
ness and in the community interest
the discrimination In charges should
be not between the Capital Traction
passengers and Washington Railway
and Electric passengers indiscrim.
inateiy. but between long-haul and
short-haul passengers on both roads
under a thoughtfully devised zone
system.
But there are considerations Of pub
lie policy which cause the community
to disregard the equities Of the zone
system. to prefer the fat rate system.
and to favor correction Of any result.
ing inequities by equitable tax read.

instead Of gross earnings.

FRUIT FOR AVERAGE FAMILY
Everbearing Strawberries Should Find
Place In Every Garden Where
There is Space.

Plenty Of vegetables for the table
should be the first consideration OF
every home gardener, but fruit trees
and some bush fruit should be plant
ed, say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. II
does not take very large space for
growing enough fruit and berries of
the different kinds to supply the aver
age family.
Everbearing strawberries, which
wer$ novelty few years ago. are
now being planted by thousands of
gardeners, and they should find a
place in every garden of the temperate
region where space will permit.
Strawberries, however, can be grown
under very wide range of climatic
and soil conditions. The same is true
Of the blackberry and the dewberry.
Raspberries are more limited as to
distribution, and will not withstand
the heat Of summer in the South or
the extreme cold of the North. Their
planting is confined almost entirely
to the temperate regions, the Central
and Eastern states and the Pacific
Northwest. Certain varieties of the
red raspberry that are practically
everbearing, or that at least produce
both summer and fall crop Of fruit
are now being developed Raspber-
ries, blackberries, and dewberries do
well when planted along fence.
