Streets.

The street situation shows some
signs of improvement. In the Senate
yesterday an amendment was agreed
to increasing the House appropriation
for repairs Of public ways from $751;
$50 to $5O0.000. The Commissioners
have also authorized ten sections Of
asphalt resurfacing work to cost about
$90,OOO
All this is little enough when meas.
ured by the rundown and torn-up con-
dition Of the paved streets and the
mileage of streets awaiting paving. 1t
is encouraging to observe that the case
of the streets, or the case of the peo-
pie living on the streets, is receiving
some attention in Congress, and this
beginning, though a small one, may
lead to better things and happier condi-
tions. After several years of no re-
pairs, or repairs and extension Of
paved streets far below normal re-
quirements. due to the stress Of war
and postwar problems and confusion,
it is big order to bring the streets
up to par and provide pavements for
the streets that have been built up
since the opening of the war. but
Washington and its friends must and
will keep the situation before the au-
thorities until it is settled right.

Lloyd George Stays On.

Again has Lloyd George triumphed
over his opponents in British public
life. He called" the opposition by
offering to resign, and it quickly de-
veloped that demand for his resigna-
ton was neither so widespread nor 50
ilastent as had seemed. There was no
man in the opposition ranks of suf-
f1cient caliber either able or willing to
take over the burdens of the premier
ship. 1t was a working out Of the old
American political adage that you
cannot beat somebody with nobody"
The criticalness Of two problems
makes it seem fortunate that Lloyd
George is to remain in Office. One is
the Irish situation and the other the
Genoa conference. There is no. other
British statesman SO capable Of deal
ing with either. Conditions in Ireland
are so grave as result Of the Limerick
revolt" and De Valera's continued
agitation against the Free State gov
ernment that any day may witness
general conflagration. About the only
hope Of peaceful solution lies in the
almost unanimous belief Of Irishmen
that Lloyd George intends to abide
loyalty by the terms Of the treaty.

But IL successful next November,
what will they be able to do between
then and the campaign Of 1924? II
they control both houses of the next
Congress, the White House will bar
the way to any economic policy they
may fashion on Capitol Hill. Mr. Hard
ing is uncompromising in his adher-
ence to republican economics as Illus
trated by years of legislation and EN-.
bodied in the latest republican ma
tional platform. ...s
A question which may bulk large in
next falls campaign will be this: Shall
the republicans. who are in full con-
troll. be indorsed, and thus legislative
progress continued, or the democrats
be put in partial control and the whole
question Of economics halted, and
thrown when the time comes into the
campaign of 1924? For, in order to do
business, the democrats will be Obliged
to carry not only Congress but the
presidency four years hence.

Americans in Constantinople.

COLOGNE--A suspicious corre-
spondent of the koelnische Zeitung
in Constantinople notes that Amer
leans are penetrating more and more
into the region and seems to fear that

heavy hand on the treasures of the
east. He writes:
1.-The Americans seem to be settling
more and more in Copstantinople,
where vigorous competition, both
diplomatic and commercial, is going
on between them and the English and
Italians.
"They began by increasing the
schools and charitable institutions.
Afterward they created many
branches to their banks and opened
many industrial departments. Many
thousand Ford motor cars have been
sold in ConstantinopIe alone. The
rice and -four markets belong almost
entirely to Americans.

that the Americans are keeping an
eye on Atolia and it's fabulous wealth.

Budget System Forces Senate
/ To Centralize Appropriations

United States and his cabinet may be
considered the executives of the couh-
try. the Congress may be considered the
board Of directors and the people are tie
stockholders OF the government. The
executive submits, with the assistance
of his cabinet and the bureau OF the
budget, the estimates of what is needed
for the government, to the Congress or
| board of directors, who in turn pass
upon these matters for the people or
, stockholders of the government. But
Congress reserves to itself the right TO
cut down or add to these estimates as
! it deems wise.
! The estimating, under the budget law,
has finally been centralized in the bu-
| reau of the budget. And with the action
| Of the Senate. both houses of Congress
| have centralized the scrutiny Of these
estimates in the hands Of one commit
| tee in each house. The whole effort is
to centralize. to impose the responsible
ity upon a single organization in each
body, and to hold that body as far as
possible responsible for keeping the ex-
penditures within the revenues of the
there is proper distribution Of the
| funds of the government to its various
| branches
A single Illustration of the man
| ner in which appropriations have
been handled in the Senate under the
| old scheme will indicate the extreme
wisdom of placing these matters un-
! der one committee. Suppose the
military authorities desired to have
! a forti1cation erected in Charleston
| harbor. Men are necessary to man
| the fortiication. They were sappro-

| bill. handled by the appropriations
| committee, and the purchase OF the
| land upon which to place the fort1h-
cation was carried in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, handled also
! by the appropriations committee. 1t
! was the testimony before the Sen
ate by Chairman Wadsworth OF the
! ther of. these committees was fully
aware of what the other was doing.
X X y x
The suggestion has been made by
Senator Wadsworth and others that
i in the process of evolution of the
budget system there shall eventual
| ly be formed joint congressional
budget committee. This joint COM
mittee's duties would be to canvass
both the estimates of the revenue
for the ensuing fiscal year and the
estimates submitted by the execu-
tive of expenditures for the govern
ment, and then determine what the
total amount of the expenditures for
that year should be. and allocate
maximum to be expended by the va
rious branches of the government,
as. for instance. the Army. the Navy.
the Department of Agriculture. etc.
| Then only by a suspension of the
rules of the House and Senate would
! it be possible to exceed this amount:
Such a plan. they hold. would still
| further tend to put more business in
' the government"

With any other man placed now at the
head of the British government this
confidence would be weakened.
AS to Genoa. to hold the conference
without Lloyd George would be like
Hamlet" with the mad Dane missing.
The Genoa conference was his con-
ception, and he is the only man who
knows what it is all about. Without
his directing genius there will be small
chance that any good accomplishment
will come out Of it. Since the confer
ence call was issued Lloyd George has
played his hand with such master skill
that doubt and skepticism have gradu-
ally given way until even the French
Only yesterday the semi
official Paris Temps published an edi-
torial urging policy Of solidarity and
generosity, and broaching the subject
of an international loan to help Ger
many meet her obligations. 1t is just
such a policy as Lloyd George has
been trying to persuade France to fall
in with.
An Associated Press dispatch from
London says the prime minister has
acceded to strong representations and
will remain to see through the govern
ment's Irish and Genoa policies" If
he sees through these two policies. and
they come through successfully. upon
what ground could the opposition re-
rev demand for his resignation? 1t
looks, in fact. as if the clever Welsh
man had maneuvered his opponents
into giving him a stronger hand to
play than he has held since the armi-
stice. A general election following sue
cess at Genoa and in Ireland could
result only in returning
Lloyd George to power, more strongly
than he ever was before.

The President as Host.

The President in recent address
pronounced against aloofness: frankly
declared that he enjoyed being near
the people, and wanted them to enjoy
being near him.
At rally of republican women in
Kansas City Monday, Representative
Alice Robertson of Oklahoma said:
I'VE have in the White House the
most human kind of people-your kind
and my kind
The manifestations OF the spirit the
President possesses and confesses are
proving a valuable asset. He and his
party as well are profiting by them.
The Presidents first act in office
was a strong act. He opened the d&or
of the White House and said to the
people, walk in.''
The war, and other things. had
barred them for some time. They had
become restive under the restraint.
The war now over, and movement
among the people having become nor
NAL again, so cordial an invitation is
suing from SO high and cordial a
source gave the greatest pleasure and
was instantly accepted. The people
have been walking into the White
House-their house-freely ever since.
Old-time scenes of hospitality and good
cheer there are again the rule.
The home life is the life. and the
White House is, and Of right should
be, the first Of American homes. Its
influence carries far; and where that
influence is genuinely and thoroughly
human the effect is observable on all
classes and in all sections.

Champ Clark's Memory.

Yesterday was lIle III 81 dHiiiS Si sal )
of the burial Of Champ Clark, and Mr..
Garrett of Tennessee embraced the oc-
casion to pay tribute in the House to
the memory Of that able and estimable
man. At the conclusion of the brief
address, all the members present rose
and stood in silent assent to the senti-
ments that had been uttered.
AS a public man Mr.. Clark was Of
the House and for the House. The
arena suited him perfectly, and in it
he attained high place and distinction.
He was four times Speaker, and with
the prestige of service in that place
came within an ace Of his party's nom-
nation for President in year when
serious republican division threw that
office to the democrats.
No member OF the House ever testi-
fed to higher appreciation OF the op-
portunity it offers for public useful
ness. An appointment to the Senate
was offered to Mr.. Clark in circum-
stances promising election almost as
certainty. But he declined. He liked
the House so well-felt SO much at
home and so sure of himself there
he decided to remain; and republican
cyclone was necessary to uproot him.
He went down, as SO many others did,
before the blow that will make 1920
a memorable year in our political his
tory.
The House likes a. good, stout
fighter, no matter on which side OF
the chamber he sits. 1t has repeatedly
testified to it's admiration of Mr.. Can
non, and yesterday it testified to its
admiration of a man of similar mold
of the opposite party.

Mr.. Bryan on the Administration.

Expressing the opinion that 1.-The
weakest point in the administration is
its economic policy" Mr.. Bryan pre-
diets that "the economic questions will
be paramount in the fall campaign"
The economic policy Of the repub-
licans has not yet been fully defined.
They are behind with their work. But
before the adjournment Of Congress
they will have completed the record
upon which their appeal to the coun-
try next fall will be based.
Suppose it shows when completed
less ground for criticism than it now
does in its incomplete state. Suppose
the country proceeds uncomplainingly
to give the measures a trial. Para
mounting economics in such circum-
stances will not be an easy matter.
And another thing. The democrats
cannot rest their campaign on criti-
cism alone. They must present an eco
non1ic policy Of their own, and pledge

has changed it's rules, so that all ap-
preparation bills will hereafter be
handled by one committee, the COM
mittee on appropriations.
In the past seven of the big annual
supply bills have been considered by
other committees. The post office bill
has been handled by the post office
committee; the Army bill. by the
military affairs committee; the Navy
bill, by the naval affairs committee;
the agricultural bill. by the commit
tee on agriculture; the rivers and
harbors bill, by the committee on COM
merce; the diplomatic and consular
bill, by the foreign relations commit
tee. and the Indian appropriation bill,
by the committee on Indian affairs.
The House, in which the approprla,
ton bills always originate. was FORCED
to act earlier than the Senate, and
adopted a plan for a single enlarged
appropriations committee. Further.
plan was worked out under winch the
appropriation bills were entirely re-
arranged, with different grouping OF
items and different titles.

The change in the House was not
accomplished without wrench. In
the Senate there was a struggle also.
Not unnaturally many members Of the
various committees which have held
the purse strings for different de-
partments of the government did not
relish giving up this power.
