Congress will in the near future
take steps to bring about the con-
struction of an adequate home for the
National Gallery of Art. if the recent
action of Congress in providing for
a new assistant secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, who will
have charge of the gallery, can be re-
garded as an augury.
In his argument before the House
committee on appropriations in sup
port of the plan for n new assistant
secretary, DR.. Charles r. Walcott,
secretary of the Smithsonian, laid
emphasis upon the growth of the Ma
tional Gallery, whose administration
is to be one of the principal duties
of that official. And the committee,
which holds the purse strings of the
government to very large extent,
acknowledged the justice of the ar
gument by inserting in the independ-
ent offices appropriations bill, an
item for an assistant secretary. In
so doing the committee acknowl-
edged, too, the Importance of the Ma
tional Gallery and the Pressing need
for building to house II properly.
For sixty-five years" DR.. Walcott

$15,932 STILL NEEDED.
Charities Seek Balance
to Complete Budget.

Franklin H. Ellis, chairman of the
Easter campaign committee of the
Associated Charities, has called
meeting of his committee for next
Wednesday afternoon to consider
ways and means of raising the s15.-
932 still needed to complete the years
budget of S55,009.
The number Of responses up to
noon today is 4,741. with total re-
turns of $3906S. While this is far
from the goal of 10000 contributing
members which the committee set
for itself, it indicates a widening in
terest and participation in the work
of the Associated Charities and Cit
liens Relief Association, which have
for their main object, keeping homes
together wherever there is a sound
basis upon which to build family
life. Because the sum still needed
is almost one-fourth of the entire
years budget, the committee recog-
niZes that continued effort will be
required to secure the absolutely
necessary funds to carry on the work
without curtailment. All who have
not hitherto contributed and feel able
to do so are still urged to send their
contributions to Ord Preston, treas
urer, 1922 11th street northwest.

Making a Funeral

1t is entirely possible to kill your
town if you want to do so. You can
kill it deader than tripe and the pain
full process need not take long.
The first thing to do is to starve
the newspaper. That is one of the
big assets of live town. Without
it a town soon takes on its winding
sheet and lies down to eternal sleep.
The newspaper is quickest killed by
starvation. Every business house and
professional man must buy his en-
velopes ready printed in Washington
or use a rubber stamp. Every bank
must go elsewhere for checks, deposit
slips and stationery. Every merchant
must get multismugger and his
own dodgers and those of his equally
minded neighbors. Women must send
to the city for their calling cards and
party invitations and retailers of all
lines must use cheap stationery furn-
ished them by the jobbers. What adj
vertising done must be inserted in
telephone directories or on lead pencils

home newspaper for free space for

On A Moral Level
Detroit Free Pressl

President Coolidge undoubtedly
makes some people squirm, but un-
doubtedly he also rejoices a nation
wearied of undertaking, hypocrisy
and cheap demagoguery, when he
places in a single category graft
among Federal officials, an extrava-
gance among congressman that has
produced appropriation bills that
would add $4,000, OOO,OO to the annual
budget without taking into account
the bonus, if they were passed.; and
obstructive efforts to prevent the pas
sage of sound tax bill.
Though there is legal distinction
among these transgressions, morally
they are on level, and all of them
need to be checked. Mr.. Coolidge as
sures the nation that public officials
who have been guilty of sordidness
will be punished wherever competent
evidence of guilt can be produced.
The saner clements in congress, as
sisted by the executive veto, will un-
doubtedly put curb on appropria-
ton extravagances.
But so far as the attempts to wreck
sound tax legislation as embodied in
the Mellon bill are concerned, the adj
monition and punishment of those
who are culpable rests with the voter.
He can, if he will, make himself felt
strongly enough to insure the passage
of sound measure; and in November
he will be able to punish good many
who may remain recalcitrant.
Meanwhile, the voter may be able
more easily to keep himself strong
in determination by keeping steadily
in mind the Presidents shrewd and
just cataloguing of the congressman
who, for political or other reasons,
undertakes to deny the taxpayer
sound, enduring relief, along with the
public official who directly sells the
country out for money. Both Of
ficials are unfaithful public servants
