Vigorously assailing those who

claim that the statue artistically rep
resented the Lincoln familiar to those
who paid tribute to their loved Presi-
dent through it's erection. he quoted
the opinion of Mr.. Freeman Thorp, a
portrait artist of many years OF ma
tlonal repute. He recalled the fact
that Mr. Thorp. great authority

sonally during his lifetime, recently
wrote to the editor of The Star In part

Representative King has proven
himself an able champion of worthy
cause. Opinions upon the subject OF
the artistic merits of Washington's
statue of Lincoln are beside the point.
The action Of removing the statue,
whatever it's artistic merit, was a
trespass upon the property and the
sensibilities of Washingtonians. The
subsequent treatment of the statue,
left prone in a vacant lot behind the
old bureau of engraving. violated the
understanding that. II removed, the
statue would be re-erected on an
even more honorable site and was an
insult to the martyred President and
nation which reverences his
memory

Public Building Needs.

While the State-.Iustice appropria-
tions bill was under discussion Wednes-
day in the Senate the fact developed
that the owners of the Department of
Justice building have demanded an
increase in rent from $4,000 a year
to a Square-foot rate working out to
over 100000. 1t is not proposed to
pay this larger sum, but an item OF
$4,000 was written into the bill for
rent and Senator Smoot explained
that it is hoped soon to move the de-
partment out of the rented quarters
into one of the government-owned
Temporary" buildings on Potomac
Park.
In the debate on this subject it
was disclosed that an effort is now
being made to squeeze into these two
Temporary" buildings every possible
government employe now housed in
rented structures. The Public Build
ings Commission will then make a re-
port to show what space will be re-
quired. AS the chairman of the COM
mission told the Senate in debate.
I'VE are going to tell Congress how
much money we have saved in leases
by making these moves, and just what
space we have got to provide in order
to erect new buildings to care for all
OF the employees in the District of Co
lumbia.'
This would seem to suggest that it
is the present purpose of the Public
Buildings Commission to proceed with
new building provisions on the basis
OF the already existing permanent and
Temporary buildings in Potomac
Park. In other words, it seems to be
taken for granted that these two
buildings in the park will remain in
definitely This is not at all in ac-
cordance with the understanding upon
which the park space was used in the
wartime emergency for public build
ing purposes. 1t was clearly under
stood that all of these structures
would be razed as soon as the emer-
gency had passed. Those in the mid
Mall sections are now being removed.
Those in Potomac Park. however, re-
main and are being packed with
clerks and will doubtless be kept in
service as long as possible.
Considering the Treasury condition
Of today as merely a passing factor
entailing economy. it is the poorest
business practice for the government
to continue to pay rent for privately
owned public offices and to continue to
jam its clerks into inadequate spaces
in poorly located buildings that must
eventually, whatever the present
needs. be replaced by permanent
structures. 1t takes several years to
proceed from site selection to building
completion and occupation. If au
thorization were given now by act of
Congress for the erection of four new
department offlces-no less would
meet the urgent needs of the govern
ment--it would be close upon 1880 be-
fore all were finished. and by that time
surely the United States will be in a
financial position to make payments
upon it's absolute business require
ments. Let start be made now,
therefore. to end the unsatisfactory
condition brought out in the discus
sion Of the Justice Departments in
creased rent.

Harmony.

The Illinois republicans did tho wise
and timely thing yesterday. They put
factionism behind them. at least for
the present. and ranged themselves
solidly in support Of the President and
his administration.
There have been some lively repub-
lican shindies in that state in the past
few years. More than once republican
supremacy has been threatened. This
year. however. with factionism elm
mated, the republicans should win
with ease. and make substantial con-
tribution to the party's membership in
the next Congress.
And. speaking of Congress. why
should not this Illinois example be
copied on Capitol Hill? There is far
and away too much factionism on that
elevation. 1t has been delaying action
on measures of the highest and most
pressing Importance. 1t has been
snarling up situation which needed
nothing at the outset to make it diff.
cult. and it has probably given the
President many an uncomfortable
quarter of an hour.
The way to get together is to get
together. Campaign time is coming
with the speed of a race horse; and
surely when the ball opens the repub-
licans will need to be in the best keller
possible.
The democrats are cockey. and
being cheered on by Mr.. Wilson. who.
without the cares of office. is giving
much time to the situation in the
country He thinks he sees a revival
Of democratic power. and is bidding
his brethren to go to it. Every few
days a note or letter from him to some
local leader finds its way into print in
which democratic success is predicted.
The republicans need the next Con-
gress in their business. but in order
to get it they must fight as unitedly
as possible.

Russia, the Unguessable.

In exchange for recognition as the
de jure government of Russia. and for
adequate" financial help. the sovie.
autocrats in Moscow are willing to
admit" Russia's war and prewar
debts. TO waive their counter claims
against other European nations and to
restore nationalized property to its
former owners or to indemnify them
in cases where restoration is impos-
sible
On it's face that is wide and sweep
ing cnncession for the soviet to make.
1t may mean very great deal in the
equation of European restoration, or
it may mean nothing much at all. de-
pending upon the interpretations to
be placed upon the words they use and
the amount of confidence which may
be reposed in the good faith and honest
intentions of Lenin and Chicherin and
krassin and others of the bolshevik
crew. An American who would be
willing to do business with Russia on
that basis would be entitled to rank
knew the faro bank he played was
crooked. but played it because it was
the only one in town.
What does the soviet government
mean by admit the Russian war
and pre-war debts? To admit debt
and to make an honest effort to pay it
are quite different things. How much
satisfaction would the thrifty French
peasants who invested their hard
earned francs in czarist bonds get out
of an admission that Russia owed
them money if Russia had neither the
means nor the will to pay? And what
would Moscow regard as adequate"
financial help? 1t would take a great
deal more money than is represented
by, the war and pre-war debts they are
willing to admit to repair the dam
age Lenin and his associates have
done to Russia. Can they be so un-
sophisticated as to think that America
and England and the few other coun-
tries which have money would be
childish enough to lend them enor-
nous sums with no better security
than the faith Of a government which
brazenly proclaims that it is under no
obligation te keep faith with other
governments or with Capitalism?
Only few hours before Chicherin.
head of the Russian delegation in the
Genoa conference, delivered his be-
wildering reply to the Russian pro-
posals of the allied experts. Leonid
krassin. soviet trade expert and
member of the conference delegation.
told the commission on economics at
Genoa that it was neither possible nor
desirable to restore liberty Of trade in
Russia. and that the idea of complete
specialization of the means of produc-
ton and exchange had by no means
been abandoned. In other words, there
will be no resources in Russia which
will not be under complete control Of
the state, and, therefore. no security
to offer for the loans which are de-
manded except the credit of the state.
And the state will admit" loans or
repudiate them, depending upon which
course offers the greater political or
other advantage.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Neglected Performer.

The man who goes his duteous way
And tolls in peace from day to day
Oh. how we wish all men would be.
Like him, from wicked impulse free.
Yet who of us would pay to go
And see this good man in show?
We'd rather see the villain rash
Who steals the girl and grabs the cash.
The burglar with jimmy neat,
The gunman prowling through the
street
We pay our money to behold
Their deeds SO criminally bold.
Now, let us give three feeble cheers
For honest men. the good old dears.
We love them as they keep the laws,
But give them very faint applause.

suffering, with New York naturally
leading the list, offenses against prop
erty are in the majority by a large
margin. This was illustrated yester-
day in New Yorsk. when thirty-eight
entered pleas Of guilty in court. OF
these. four were accused of robbery,
thirteen Of burglary, eight Of unlawful
entry. six Of larceny and two of for

Abraham Lincoln which for

TINE movement to re-erect upon
its original site the statue Of
Abraham Lincoln which for
more than half century prior
to 1920 stood before the District
courthouse received a strong forward
impetus upon the occasion OF Repre-
sentative Kings recent address on the
subject before the House. Speaking
to the House joint resolution au-
thorizing and directing the replace
ment of the statue, the eloquent
member from Illinois rehearsed for
the benefit of his colleagues the his
tory Of the "first monument to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln" from
the date of it's unveiling on April 10,
1868, to the time when. on December
30. 1920. the figure was lowered, TO-
gether with its pedestal and the stones
supporting it's plane OF exaItation'
where his friends neighbors and COM
patriots had placed it, and all to-
gether rolled away as backyard rub
bish."
Recalling the fact that the monu-
ment was paid for out of the purses
of citizens of Washington. who had
long suffered the privations OF the
war, and by soldiers and sailors pass
ing through the city. Representative
King charged those who reached up
their long arms to pull it down with
trespass as well as iconoclasm. Point
ing out that perpetual easement" had
been granted to the monument asso-
citation for the location of the statue,
he recited an interesting anecdote
concerning the true story OF why
Flannery. the sculptor Of the monu-
ment. placed the figure of the Presi-

a pedestal. Flannery. being sick and
