An Archives Building.

An appropriation of half million
dollars is proposed in an item added
in the Senate to the Treasury appro-
priation bill to secure site for the
national archives building in this city,
for which recommendations have fire.
quently been made. This IS one of the
several neglected public building items
constituting an impressive list of ar
rears in government equipment for
which action has been asked otter
without result. The need of an archives
building has been repeatedly made
plain. Irreplaceable government rec
; ords are stored in many buildings in
varying degrees Of near-fireprooflng
and exposed to all kinds of risks. 1t is
a matter of the greatest good luck
that the government has not suffered
an irreparable loss on this score.
Not only should an archives build
ing be provided to take care Of the his
toric documents that bear upon the
business Of the government, but 1t
should have accommodations for the
accumulated files Of less Importance
which are not Of current use. Every
department and bureau building Is
now choked with these files, some of
which are not referred to once year.
With suitably designed and equipped
archives building these files could be
removed and probably kept in more
orderly manner than at present. The
space they now occupy will be avail
able for the working force. AS meas
ure Of economy. therefore. the con-
struction OF central records building
would be a good investment. as it
would add largely to the practicable
space in the staff structures.
Such building should not be a mere
warehouse, but should be Of dignified
design and substantial materials. 1t
should be centrally placed. A site has
already been indicated, though not Sc.
lected, which bears q practicable re-
iationship to all Of the departmental
buildings. An archives building should
indeed be one Of the notable govern
ment structures. If the papers of the
public service are worth keeping at
all they should be kept in a way to In
JAicate the value that is put upon them.
Adoption Of this item now pending in
the Senate should be but the first Of a
series Of steps for the earliest possible
completion Of this building on proper
scale of provision

Of the operating factors. the fact re.
mains that now Ireland IL by British
acknowledgment free state on the

yesterday at Dublin Castle to the rep.
resentatives Of the new Irish govern.
ment marks the fact.
For the present the more radical ele-
ment. 40 loudly insistent upon rejec.
ton Of the London treaty by the dali

on the treaty. and beaten later in the
elections for reorganization Of the

De Valera faction has seemingly &C.
cepted the decision. 1t will be greatly
to the advantage Of Ireland II 1t will
continue thus to accept and will CO.
operate in the organization Of an ef-
lin. Continued agitation can do no
good for Ireland. and may do much
harm.
In accepting the keys Of the castle
yesterday from Lord Fitzalan. Michael
Collins referred to the ceremony as a
surrender" This was. perhaps. not
the most tactful way to express the
ceremony, but probably no friction will
be caused. The fact remains that
England is withdrawing her physical
forces and giving Ireland full latitude
for self-government. and at the same
time full responsibility.

Dublin Castle Changes Hands.

A physical evidence Of the changed
order in Ireland was afforded yester-
day, when Lord Fitzalan, the British
viceroy, handed to Michael Collins the
keys Of Dublin Castle. For 100 years
those keys have been in the possession
of British officials, and the castle was
THE tangible evidence Of British au-
thority and dominion. Its transfer to
the representatives Of the Irish Free
State was therefore g ceremony Of
significance that will probably go far
toward convincing the Irish people Of
the new order Of things.
Only few months ago the troops
who were yesterday busy in prepara.
tions for the departure Of a British Of.
.ncial from Dublin Castle were actively
searching for the men who walked
over the red carpet into its prscipcts.
m the past half year Ireland has
gained through negotiation degree OF
freedom that years Of intrigue and
lighting. sniping and boycotting have
s;fAiled to secure. It may b that the
bloodshed Of the past few years was
necessary to bring about q state Of

EDITORIAL DIGEST

Springfield Republican independently }
believes that the President has made
the "first really vigorous assertion Of
his party leadership in opposition to
the Independent activities OF the farm
bloc"
However. "the handicap under
which the President in this role
labors" is the very independence Of
the bipartisan group. the republican
members OF which. the Worcester
Telegram trepublican) declares. don't
care a hoot" But bloc srafsiness"
sion "menaces our whole business
and financial structure" the Wall
Street Journal independently warns.
for If it becomes law "a person
whose business or occupation is
farming would in time become the
governor of the federal reserve
board" and. what is even worse. "the
scheme Is to make the distribution
Of credit a matter of politics" This
fs "the evident intention Of the farm
bloc" the Buffalo Express undepend-
ent republican, agrees. and 1t must
be fought to a finish." because "the
fiscal system can be well secured
only when 1t is under the control Of
men who know banking and the rules
which make for safety and who will
not be moved by political considera-
tions"

Seeking Harmony.

- The republican senators will meet
tomorrow to confer about the foreign
war loans funding bill now ready for
consideration by the Senate. The
democrats will oppose the measure as
reported.
This course should be pursued by
the republicans in both Senate and
House on every measure Of Importance
they handle at .Sis session OF Con-
sress. That is to Say. II possible all
differences as to measures should be
adjusted in the family circle before
public discussion begins.
Differences there must be. They in.
here in both human and legislative
nature. They make for good. They
develop subject. and show Its full
character and possibilities.
"a But airing them in public under the
heat of debate when the time for final
action has come is not business" but
often makes for party embarrassment.
and sometimes leads to party defeat
at the polls.
The minority always rejoices In ma.
1ority divisions, and, when advised
publicly Of their nature and extent,
maneuvers to profit by them.
The size of the republican task. i'm
perfectly appraised when Congress
met last spring, is now fully appre.
ciated. 1t is both big and difficult. And
so much depends on how it is executed.
steps, every one, should be watched
with extreme care. A misstep-a sin
gle one-might prove disastrous.
This war loan funding bill is but
= one measure that will enter into q
campaign which promises to put the
republicans to their trumps. The
democrats are well organized, and
moving with confidence.

The Art the Public Likes.

The public taste has expressed itself
emphatically In the matter of the paint
ings at the biennial exhibition at the
corcoran Gallery of Art. the largest
number of the approximately 10000
voting visitors declaring for painting
by William NJ. Paxton. who was not
one of the official prize winners. 1t so
happens that painting by this same
artist was similarly given the popular
award two years ago. which indicates
that he paints the kind Of pictures
that the public likes.
Why is it that the public taste so
seldom comedies with that Of the pro-
fessional taste? That is probably an
unanswerable question. Art is a
strange thing, almost a mystery.
There are certain canons that the pub
lie recognizes and that artists as a
rule observe. But lately during re-
cent years these canons have been vio-
lated ruthlessly by exponents Of art,
painters and sculptors. and the public
has watched amazed at the freedom.
the license tolerated by critics and
connoisseurs.
1t is a wholesome sign, a decided
encoura cement, that in these public
referendum votes no example of the
radical school is favored. The people
may be unframed In the matter OF per
spective, but they do insist upon
planes that are true, correct drawing
and reasonable precision Of color.
Cubism was laughed at as a freak, as
perhaps a symptom Of artistic in
sanity. All the succeeding schools OF
freak painting have been in the same
way rejected and ridiculed. Those who
are specially cultured" in the arts
look with some pity upon this spec
tacle Of rejection Of that which does
not look true. "Goguinism" has its
vogue still. and its devotees are enthu-
siastic over the abnormal proportions
Of the human figure and the scream
ing combinations of light and shade
and tone that mark the work OF the
eccentric Frenchman.
It is thus an agreeable token Of
public sanity and balance that, al
though these various schools" and
styles rise successfully and fade away,
the art Of truth, the art Of true draw
ing and true coloring and true COM
position remains. If there were truth
In these various schools they would
endure. The fact that they pass and
are succeeded by new schools Of &C.
centrics, new sorts Of impressionists.
new degrees Of radicalism. Is satisfac-
tory evidence that they are wrong and
that the art that the public. unedu-
Gated though it is, likes Is the true art.

Republicans, Democrats and 1922.

If the republicans are uneasy at all
the feeling relates to the next House.
Although with an enormous majority
in the present House. they have been
stumbling along there in a surprising
way. and bringing down upon their
heads good deal Of sharp criticism.
II the democrats are confident at
all. the feeling relates to the next
House. Although at a great disadvan.
tage in the present House. they are
noting with much satisfaction the
plight Of the majority there. and hop
ing 1t may continue.
The next Senate looks safe for the
epublicans. although such sweeping
hange Of sentiment as would give the
.Iouse to the democrats might throw
she Senate in for good measure.
A result that brought in a demo
cratic House. leaving the republicans

Under the auspices Of the Child We'll
fare Society there is In progress here
q six.weeks health campaign to make
the child Of pre.school age "fit for

Endorsement Of health onicials, will
last until February 25.
The principal object is to determine
by the record Of height and weight Of
a. many children as possible the de-
gree Of malnutrition. Most mothers
weigh their babies. They take special
care to put the little one on the scales
day after day, in order to check up on
It's growth.
But after the child has shown that
it is growing according to the accept
ed standards the average mother
ceases to weigh the child after 1t is
two years old. From then on 1t be-
Gins to eat more or less like the rest
Of the family, in too many cases being
allowed to have coffee and tea before

BY careful weighing Of the child at
any age during the pre-school years
from two to six years old-it is pos
sible to compare its weight with gen.
orally accepted standards. and seek
out the conditions, whether dietetic or
otherwise, which cause naalnutrition.
