A House for Art.

Representative Albert johnson Of
the state Of Washington stands up
for the proposal that there should be
in the Smithsonian group "a building
especially designed to house and dis
play the nations art collection" He
says that art works to the value OF
100000 a year are being offered to
the government through the Smith
sonian Institution, that the value Of
the governments collection is now
s10,O00,OOO, and that aside from the
Freer Gallery, which is in q building
paid for by the donor Of the collection,
the larger part Of the governments
collection Is in the basement and hall
ways and corners Of the Natural His
tory building. The facts are widely
known, and in time there will rise at
Washington a splendid building in
whose marble wall will be chiseIed

tive Johnson's remarks on the need
Of a national art gallery building are

No Reason Why Democrats
Should Not Go to New York

be accepted as denoting a wise and
satisfactory decision"
Taking issue with this viewpoint.
the Hartford Courant insists 1T re-
mains to be seen what effect the
choice of New York will have on the
general public. The west does not
love the east and New York, with
it's Wall street. is the center OF
abomination. Now that 1t appears
that New York money brought the
convention to the metropolis there
may be feeling Of Indignation
against the whole party" To which
the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch replies
that putting all other matters aside.
it is about time that the party
convention is again held in the east.
The western cities have been SO often
favored by both parties that they
have no ground for complaint. The
politically wise express the opinion
that the location Of the two national
conventions will have no favorable
leading contestants
X X \: X
Inasmuch as the McAdoo forces
controlled the committee the Roanoke
Times holds that they did not veto
New York's selection may reasonably
be construed as an indication that
they feel comparatively safe, even
thus far in advance of the date for
the convention" This opinion Is in
dorsed by the Brooklyn Eagle, which
says "McAdoo will not be stronger
or weaker than if the convention
had been held in San Francisco"

Lincoln.

A bill to make the birthday Of Lin
coin a legal holiday in the District
has. after public hearings by the
House committee on the District Of
Columbia, been ordered favorably re-
ported to the House.. Belief Is general
that the making Of holidays has been
overdone. and that the tendency to
lengthen the list should be opposed,
but it would be Inappropriate to op-
pose that tendency at the point where
it is proposed to mark Lincoln's birth
day as day of national observance.
In respect to the public service which
Lincoln rendered our nation he stands
as one OF the supreme characters in
our history. It is customary to place
George Washington rs first in the af-
fection of our people. and there is
abundant justification for that. His
service in the establishment Of the re-
public was pre-eninent, as Lincoln's
service in maintaining it was pre-
eminent. To most people Washing
ton is a marble statue, rather than an
exalted patriot, Of the highest model
of honesty and OF marked ability in
many ways, and also man of pro-
nounced human traits.
With Lincoln it is the reverse. He
has not become a bronze efigy to peo-
pie and will not. II is the human side
of the man, his homeliness, his ten
derness, his humor and his sympathy
for the poor and lowly that people
know best. He was a great American
in patriotism, wisdom. will and other
qualities of greatness. Lincoln was
born ten years after Washington died.
From about 1888 to 1853 he was a iris
ing" man in politics. From 1858, when
he came to national fame because of
his debate with Douglas and his elo-
quent opposition to extension Of slav-
cry that people might have peace Of
mind lin the belief that it is in the
course OF ultimate extinction" to his
nomination for the presidency, he was
a very prominent partisan leader.
From his inauguration in 1861 to his
assa assination he was hailed as great
man by most people in the north, and
as a failure and disappointment by
others in the same section. After his
death his greatness came to be meas
ured in higher terms. and his char
acter has grown in splendor as time
has passed. There will be no decline
in the estimation in which Lincoln
is held. Men who lived when Lincoln
lived told Lincoln stories," emphasiz-
ing the gentleness. common sense,
humor and human goodness Of the
man. These stories have spread. and
have Influenced millions Of the grand
children and great-grandchildren Of
men who knew Lincoln" More
writer's have dealt with "the human
side" Of Lincoln than have written
that way Of Washington.
Lincoln's birth is observed as a
holiday in many states, and it should
be set aside as a holiday in the Dis

A Traffic Court.

Recommendation by the Senate com.
mittee that a traffic court be estab-
lished in Washington as a means of
enforcing laws restricting traffic in
the Capital may cause some confusion
respecting the need Of such an insti-
tuition. A so-called traffic court sits
daily as a. branch. Of the Police Court,
and there are doubtless, many Wash
ingtonians who feel that this is an
adequate minor tribunal OF justice.
But as q matter Of fact it does not
reach the need at ALL It sits at such
hours and for such periods that those
charged with rule breaking are put to
great inconvenience and loss Of time.
In consequence Of this inadequacy
many offenders merely forfeit collat-
eral rather than 80 to court, with the
result that they are not recorded as
guilty Of breaches Of the law and may
be frequently at fault without suffer
ing the penalties Of repeated o6enses.

Leningrad.

Petrograd, once known as st. Pc
tersburg. has been renamed. 1t is
by soviet edict, to be call
ed Leningrad. Thus a high honor
is paid to the former leader Of the
bolsheviki, who has just passed away.
But after all the question arises
whether this is such a mark Of su-
preme distinction. The one-time capt.
tai OF Russia is now a wreck. The
population has dwind1ed to a small
fraction Of it's former size. The pres
ent inhabitants are wretched crea.
lures. barely able to live on the mea-
ger rations permitted by the soviet.
The buildings are In decay, the indus
tries are stagnant, trade Is almost at
a standstill. It is doubtful whether,
short Of the restoration Of the old
regime and the expenditure Of an i'm
mense sum in reconstruction, Petror
grad, or. as it is now called. Lenin.
grad, will ever be brought back to its
former splendor.
Yet there Is something appropriate
about this change Of name, ostensibly
in honor OF the man who, more than
any other, caused the spoliation Of
the capital. Lenin wrecked Russia,
and Petrosrad with it. He and his
associates moyed the capital to Mos
cow for reasons Of security. Petro-
grad was too near the sea, too near
the possibility Of attack. It was loot
ed and abandoned. There was some
talk about getting rid OF the old trap
pings and souvenirs Of the empire, but
the true reason fer the change was
that the capital was strategically in.
secure.
So here is. one of the once great
cities of the world, one OF the great
capitals, given it's third name within
seven years. Leningrad 1t Is now,
officially, but there is no assurance
that it may eventually, perhaps soon.
be named again, after some new hero
Of the revolution, or possibly in re-
turn to its former designation. when.
Il that happens, the soviet government
is destroyed and the old regime is re-
stored in some form.

The collateral accepted IL relatively
small compared with the fines that
may be imposed. Many hahitually
careless drivers rate these collateral
payments AZ part OF the cost Of up
keep. ..--.. ~
With . traffic court definitely estab.
lished. with no other jurisdiction than
that over traffic rule violations, sit
ting as proposed from 8 o'clock in the
morning until 10 at night. with the
collateral practice abolished, rule
breakers may be promptly taken to
court and as promptly tried. with the
Witnesses surely present, and with all
penalties recorded. and thus with as
surance OF additional penalties for re-.
peated violations. The traffic court
would be equipped with records dis.
closing past performances. Suspen.
sion or forfeiture OF license for second
and third offenses would be possible
without question OF righteousness.
"A traffic. court with no other. duty,
sitting from early morning until
night. empowered to multiply penal.
ties for repeated ofsenses or to forfeit
licenses would have a most corrective
effect upon the practice of careless,
reckless. 'inconsiderate driving, proyid-
ing the police. force was sufficient In
size to capture and take to court the
rule breakers The cost Of such a
court would be Of no moment COM
pared with the benefit to the commu-
nifty. 1t would be. for a time at least,
far more than met by the fines i'm
posed.

District Industrial Exposition.

1t is proposed to hold an exposition
In the auditorium Of manufactures in
the District. The matter is under dis.
and it may be that an exposition Of
this kind will be held next fall. A
show of District manufactures would
be interesting and informing to q
great many persons. There is q com.
mon belief that all our manufactured
goods except bread, ice cream, ice, gas
and a few other things are'made else
where. While the large private in.
dustries Of manufacture in the Dis
trict are printing and publishing,
bakery products, ice cream and ice,
there are many others. The list in.
cludes automobile bodies and parts,
awnings, tents and sails, bookbinding
and blank-book making, clothing, cof-
fee roasting and grinding, copper, tin
and sheet iron work: druggists .prepa-
rations, 'electroplating and engraving,
fur goods, furniture, hand stamps,
hats and caps, jewelry, lumber and
planning mill products, marble and
stone work, mattresses and spring
beds, mineral and soda waters, optical
goods, patent medicines, pickles, pre-
serves and sauces; slaughtering and
meat packing to tobacco and cigars.
These, are Industries on which the
fourteenth census gave. statistics as to
employees. capital, salaries and wages,
rent and taxes. value Of products and
amount Of power used.
Among other local manufactures,
set down by the census are artificial
limbs and artists materials, baking
powders and yeast, baskets and will

brooms, down the alphabet to toys and

and cider, window shades and fixtures.
