Wins the First Bout.

THE House has won the first bout for disarm-

House naval appropriations. Conference has
cut this increase to about one-tenth, $4,000 900
The decrease in naval personnel will be to 10000
instead of the Senate's 10000. The regular army
Is fixed at the House total of 10000. At the bot
tom OF this is disarmament not merely saving
money.
The armament imitation had bare majority in
the Senate. The House deAation had an overwhelm-
ing majority. AS fact this first round was won
by the House members. The folks may be over

Getting Restless.

THE membership Of the House is showing in
i creased signs of restlessncss. 1t is organ
lied body and must be in order to facilitate the dis
patch of business. There must be program and
that program must be of the dominant party which
is held responsible for legislation. No one believes
that go-asyou-please system could result in any
thing but disorder There must be authority to
regulate the mills grinding.
The House members are divided in commit
tees. All bills referred introduced to
the committee most closely concerned with its
subject matter 1t goes to the chairman of the
committee and if he chooses, he can pocket it and
make its consideration in committee almost impos-
sible. Bills, regardless Of authorship, each
usually introduced by member of the committee
to which it is expected it will be referred, or the
author is careful to have good friend on the
committee.
But when a bill has been put through COM
mittee, it has still another hurdle in the Committee
on Rules who may bar, it from the calendar or so
place it to make its consideration the floor
almost hopeless On the other hand, they may give
it preference and so limit the period of debate and
privilege OF amendment to quite its
passage in its committee FORM
The Rules Committee has inherited the power
once held by the Speaker, and whose caused the
rebellion which overthrew Uncle Joe Cannon when
he occupied the chair. There is in evidence much
the same feeling then. The dominance of
committee chairmen, and the close grip of the
Committee on Rules have caused many dsappoint-
ments, baked the ambitions of many members and
has denied floor rights to measures which various
groups regard of much Importance
One result has been the forming of the agrar-
ian bloc. Another is the revolt of several States
on the wholly inexcusable proposed tariff on lum-
Der. There related exclamations as to other
schedules. The Volstead following find they can
not get their amending bill the floor, and no
members bill that has not majority report
from committee has chance of consideration. 1t
is altogether situation rather repugnant to the
American sense of fair play and of popular govern
ment Yet all recognize that at least large
measure of this authority must rest somewhere
though may be not so autocratic, in its fullness.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
i desire to say a few words TO
express my appreciation of your
paper. In the hrst place, / think
the cutting down OF the price Of
The Herald after it had become the
leading paper Of Washington was
a great move. for it not only
showed good business sense but a
sincerity of purpose in trying to
get back to normslcy.
Not wishing to class you as a
clodhopper, but / must say your
editorials on the farm situation had
ell the earmarks of a practical
farmer
The Open Court is a grand fea-
ture. Soon after I was admitted to
the family I began to take clippings
of letters and editorials which in
terested me. Now / find the page
SO very interesting seldom a day
passes but what l add another page
to nv scrap book. Mr.. Haefelflnger
was quite right in saying without
such a privilege many a good idea
goes by the board. / think tits far
better for readers to have this fair
play privilege than to have to de-
pend on sectarian or partisan papers
&c satisfy their desire for knowl-
edge.
Hoping and expecting to have the
privilege of reading many more in
teresting letters from both old and
new writers, remain. with thanks,

Upholds Rights of Negro.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
As a constant reader of your val
liable paper 1 ask the privilege of
the letter space in your Open Court
letter column to answer the un-
American remarks of one signing
himself a Kentuckian, with refer
ence to the negro Americans keep
ing their place.
First of all. l would like to ask
what is their place? What author
ity has he or anyone else to desig-
nate a particular place for the negro
or any other race. The Constitu-
tion as framed by the fathers of
the American republic specifies no
certain or particular place for the
negro, but on the contrary emphati-
cally gives to the negro all rights
and privileges as all white Ameri-
cans enjoy. Then, why is IL that so
many narrow, prejudiced bigots at
tempt to evade the enforcement OF
the Constitution, and also fail mis-
erably in their efforts to accomplish
any good result by their pernicious
doctrine?
wish to ask that Kentuckian IL
he is acquainted with American his
tory, and IL so Is he unmindful of
the negro's record of keeping his
place in all wars as a loyal Ameri-
can and soldier? Moreover in the
recent war the negro kept his place
in a most efficient manner both as
an officer and soldier, therefore II
is only when the narrow minded
white man tries to prevent him
from keeping his place as an Ameri-
can that he is forced to assert him
self.
In conclusion. such preachments
coming from such an author as re-
ferred to in this statement are con-
Trajectory to the principles of the
American government and also d.
rectly in opposition to the claims
upon which this country entered the
world war. Therefore the only con-
sideratio which should be given
this doctrine as advocated by the
gentleman from Kentucky is the
relegation of such to the borders OF
forgotten issues.

Making Snobs Of Americans.

4 CCORDING to the Chicago Tribune
n American officials in England are getting
snobbish. They forget they represent the United
States and conform to British social customs
Some of them, even at American functions have
been to eat with their forks. They have been
known to use their salad forks when eating salad
instead of their fingers and to actually distinguish
between butter knife and meat knife.
1t has actually been rumored that Americans
in England have waited until their hostess was
seated before seating themselves at table. They
have snobbishy condescended to take the
place at table designated for them instead of grab
bing the chair nearest a prince, slapping him on
the back and saying, "Sit down here old top by
me-" 1t is possible. though almost unthinkable by
any true American, that they address King George
as "Your Majesty" instead of George old boy -
in true American fashion. The Tribune says:
For example American official etiquette
should not allow itself to be dominated by Eu-
ropean standards There is no reason why
American citizens should be, at any American
function, subordnated to foreigners merely be-
cause the latter have titles of nobility nor
recognized by law in country. 1t is an
established weakness at home and abroad to
recognize actual official rank in precedence, but
after that rule is conformed to at American
functions, Americans who neither have nor wish
titles, should not be compelled to yield pre-
cedence to foreigners in obedience to a social
etiquette which has survived from an arsto-
cratic system now gone into the discard.
Mr. Wilson's diplomatic representatives
too readily impressed by old-world dis
tinctions, and after few years abroad often
became snobs, whose attitude of apology to-
ward the social anachronisms of existing Eu-
ropean society and whose tone of condescension
or insolence toward Americans is not only
humiliating to American self-respect, but in.
furious to their own prestige representatives
of the greatest power earth. The represent
ative of the mighty American republic who
kotows to the phantasm of European aristocracy
is and ought to be object of contempt of
Europeans
This, Mabel, is simply awful Of course when
Mckinley, not Wilson, was President, it was said
that Whitelaw Reid, then Ambassador to Great
Britain, knee-pants at court functions and on
other formal occasions. That was not so bad
then, were not yet exactly "the greatest power
earth" But with outstanding SIsooo-

1t is not snobbery to feel ones power. 1t is
not snobbery to let everyone know they are your
interiors, your debtors, and that you are their
benehccnt well as magnanimous benefactor.
That is Americas right, and how better assert It
than by ignoring all the social customs of the

Tariff at the Source.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The higher the tariff the higher
the cost of living and advancement
in Washington, where production
for home consumption falls so far
short Of the demand and where pro-
duction for. export Is a negligible
quantity. The outgo in exchange
for commodities is equivalent to
hard cash sufficient to cover cost,
tariff and transportation charges.
What other world capital pre-
sents the anomaly Of trainloads of
merchandise taxing the capacity of
the terminals, the unloading in
bulk of everything needed in the
upkeep and upbuilding of people
and government? And thereupon
the mockery Of "empties" going
back for more via the tunnel under
the worshipful Dome whence comes
the clamor of voices boosting the
tariff to a still higher point?
The situation here is exceptional,
to be sure. Washington is the only
center of population in Yankee
America, at least, where 1t was
never contemplated by the founders
that development and thrift would
be accompanied by facilities for the
conversion of raw materials into
finished products, to be marketed in
competition with commercial rivals.

tending to dim the luster of the in
