The New Chairman
Good Choice Assured

In the reorganization the Senate District Committee
which follow the advent of the Congress- residents
of the city will lose the services of Senator Arthur Capper
chairman.
The sepdown of such sympathetic figure is of course
matter of regret to the entire city.
Fortunately however there the city to be
alarmed to the type of who will Senator
Capper.
The assumption of control by the Democrats will insure the
selection for chairman of thoroughly qualified to give
the District capable and intelligent administration.
Just which of the Democratic members will succeed the
Craftsmanship is still matter of doubt But glance through
the list of Democratic members is reassuring
Senator William H King of Utah the ranking Democratic
member Probably in the Senate is thoroughly
familiar with the ctys needs than is Senator King For
years he has been member of the committee and has
taken active part in municipal affairs.
Senator Royal S. Copeland is another active Democrat
the committee Before coming to the city he held municipal
office in New York city and is well qualified to the
charmanship
Senator Mllard Tydngs likewise would make good chair
if the choice should fall upon him.
The other Democratic members of the committee have
shorter service with the group than those named They
however have all manifested keen interest in the National
Capital
The choice of any of these would insure proper
administration of local affairs far the
concerned

The Bicentennial Ends
Remarkable Observance

The country today concludes what has probably been
most remarkable celebration held honor of national
hero-the George Washington Bicentennia observance
For nine months this celebration has continued bringing
Americans realization of services rendered by the
to whom above all others, the United States owes its
existence.
The formal observance of the has, to certain ex
tent been hampered by the adverse economic conditions
which developed after it had been planned.
Even those conditions however failed to dampen the ardor
with which Americans renewed their allegiance to the spirit
which inspired George Washington.

The value of sressng the youth land the virtues
for which George Washington stood is not be measured
in terms Of gold and silver That value becomes understand
able only with the realization that without such things the
United States would cease to exist
To Representative Sol Bloom and those associated with him
in the promotion of the observance the nation owes deep
debt of gratitude.

Coalition Governments
Seldom Successful

Coali ton governments
have seldom been success
full. They are born with the
seeds of disintegration. They
are composed of gentlemen
seated at a table with
knives up their sleeves.
There is no possibility of
actual harmony among them
except perhaps on some one
Or two propositions. These
coalition governments pre-
sent an incongruous picture
of incompatible and irrec-
oncilable elements. They
generally end with knives
flying in the air. Always
there is treachery.
We recently have heard
much complaint against gov
ernment by "blocs. These
sometimes are unavoidable
when one party has clear
mandate from the people.
Coalition governments are
formed only under similar
conditions. One of the .rea-
sons that ministries in Eu-
rope come and go with such
lightning rapidity is because
some members of the coali-
tion lock horns with others
on some policy proposed, and
the government finds itself
without a majority to carry
on. The only thing 20 do is
TO resign and then enter into
bartering with other ele-
ments to form a new coali-
tion. That lasts for a little
while and passes out through
the same process Of disinte-
grafton.
And that is the reason we
Americans have found the
party system the most satls-.
factory. So have the Eng
lish. The trouble in Con-

ONCE OVERS
An Unfair Employer

It is unfair, Mr.. Employer,
for you to insist upon any girl
employed by you, accompanying
you to dinners, dances or other
places of amusement.
1t is not sufficient excuse to
say that the girl herself has
never made any" objection to
your proposals.
This fact does not indicate
that she is anxious to be your
companion on auto rides or
other sorts of amusementS.
She may do so because she
thinks it necessary to retain
her job.
You may have expressed dis
pleasure when she at first de-
INJURED when you asked her to
go to dinner with you or per-
haps to the theater.
1t became evident to her
then that you expected her to
do your bidding as a social as
we'll as a business assistant.
Isn't this unfair to a girl?
1t is really pretty rotten of
you to create the impression
that she might lose her posi-
ton if she refused to accede
to your requests.

Growing Young

Interest in matters of today
is the best way to keep from
growing old.
The years will roll round Just
the same. but ceaSing to think
of death at each milestone will
greatly assist you in forgetting
your age.
It does no good to keep death
before you with a sense of
dread.
Don't class yourself according
to your age.
Make your basis of figuring
from the condition yoU are in.
Many men are really younger

They are more sound mental
ly and physically.

Easier to Garry
Congress Along

It is strange how much
we hea,' since the elections
of the virtues of coalition
governments. The last we
heard coalition urged was
when the Democrats were
in power the last time. We
are quite sure that no one
even considered such a thing
when the Republicans were
in power.
There is the suggestion of
a coalition in the plan to
have Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Roosevelt agree between
themselves on a program.
The policies of one Of these
unmistakably have been
repudiated by the people.
After the 4th Of March the
responsibility wholly will be
with the other who, we are
convinced, is quite able to
assume it.
One request from the
debtor nations must be acted
upon next month. This
must be acted upon by the
Government that will be in
power next month-that
headed by President Hoover.
Whatever action he takes
will be acted upon by Con-
gress-but not by the Con-
gress that goes in on March
4. The evident hope is that
by securing Mr.. Roosevelt's
sanction to Mr.. Hoover S
policy it will be easier to
carry Congress along next
month.

gress during the last two
years has been due to the
fact that no one party really
was dominant. The Repub-
lican majority in the Sem
ate was purely theoretical.
The Administration had no
real majority because the
insurgents held the balance
of power and these were out
of sympathy with Admin
istration policies.
In the House the Demo
Gratis had a bare majority of
five, and in hectic hysteri-
cal days, such as we have
seen, this has not been suf-
ficient to make party domi-
ration possible.
The recent elections have
changed the picture. The
Democratic majority in the
House is very heavy; in the
Senate it is so heavy that
there is no possibility of
power passing from them
even though the elections
of 1884 result in losses of
seats.
A political party there
fore has a clear mandate;
it has an easy majority and
that party has both the op-
portunity and the response
bility. There is no possible
excuse for coalitions to
carry on. There is no way
to shift responsibility. If
under these circumstances
the dominant party splits
into factions and feeds on
feuds the system of party
government will be dealt a
blow from which it will not
be easy to recover

The least fault in women
who have abandoned them
selves to love Is to love.
It is more easy to be wise
for others than for ourselves.
The only good copies are
those which exhibit the defects
of bad originals.
We are never so ridiculous
from the qualities we have, as
from those we affect to have.
We are sometimes as diff
ferent from ourselves as we are
from others.

Words From the Lips of Wise Men

The name Of virtue is as
serviceable to interest as
vice is.
When our vices quit us we
flatter ourselves with the belief
that it is we who quit them.
We easily forget our faults
when they are only known to
ourselves.
The desire of appearing clever
often prevents our becoming so.
Virtue would not travel so far
if vanity did not keep her com.
pany.

Era of Good
Feeling"

That is the reason that
the policies to be adopted
by the new regime must
come from common counsel
among the party leaders,
and not from coalitions with
the opposition.
Meanwhile we may be sure
that there is nothing in the
theory that the nation, be-
cause Of the magnitude of
the recent victory, has en-
tered upon another "era of
good feeling" That was
the phrase descriptive of
the conditions after the
election Of President Mon
roe. But the conditions were
different. The Federalists
had been shattered and
scattered by jefferson in
the election of 1900; but
throughout his Administra-
ton, despite his assurance
that "now we are all Fed
eralists, we are all Republic
ans Democrats " a bitter
partisan battle was con-
stantly in progress. This
continued throughout the
two administrations of Madi-
son. In truth, the partisan
venom during these eight
years led to reasonable at
titudes and imperiled the
. nation.
But in each election, the
Federalists continued to
dwindle in numbers and,
with the election Of Mon
roe, they literally were
wiped vut. There was but
one party. Old line Federal
lists, pretending to CONVEX
sion, entered the Jefferson
ian ranks. The divergence
came soon afterward, but
the period of Monroe was
the "era of good feeling"
But, despite the havoc
wrought the defeated party
in the recent elections, with
the elimination of old party
leaders, it would be absurd
to say that it has been elimi-
mated. Another such election
probably would mean it's
early extinction-but there
is no assurance of anything
of the sort. Ard we shall
be much surprised, if the
party opposition during the
first Roosevelt administra-
tion will not be bitter and
persistent. To coalize with
the foe would be suicide.
The coalition would be used
to SOW dissensions in the
ranks of the party in power.
Only through unity of ac-
tion in carrying out the
pledge made in the cam
paign can the party in power
reinforce its hold on public
confidence. And in the
meanwhile it will DO we'll
to "beWare of the Greeks
bearing gifts"

Matrimonial Candidates

Now that the presidential
election is over and all the
shouting and whoopee have
died down, we can turn our
minds once more to the "matri-
monial election" which goes
steadily on, from season to
season.

more men are nominated for
matrimony without suspecting
it, than at any other time of

dangerous thing than choosing
a presidential candidate. A
President is President for only
four years, with a chance OF
eight if he behaves himself.
But a husband or wife, like a
Supreme Court Justice, is chosen
for life term-with the
chances of escape awfully slim
and uncertain.
The girl who is looking over
her possible chances" should
take a tip from the presidential
electors, who always select some
one who has filled minor offices
with satisfaction or made a
record for himself.
Brush the love-mist from your
eyes and scan his record. How
does he stand as a son? What
has he accomplished in his line
of work or business or his pro-
feSsion? What are his past
matrimonial performances If
any? How has he treated the
women in his life and how
does he stand with the men?
But, in the last analysis, what
you really want to know is:
Is he the man who can make
your pulses race within you?
Does your breath fail at the
thought of his not coming? And
does your heart skip beat at

THE propaganda, thor
Il oughly organized, mer-
rily goes on with the usual
lack of frankness in making
clear the fact that there
can be no such thing as a
cancellation of the debts.
The proposition is not to
cancel the debts. The propo-
sition is to transfer the debts
from the nations that bor-
rowed and used the money
to be taxpayers of the
United States.
1t does seem that even
gentlemen in high hats can
afford to be honest with the
public to the extent of MAX
ing that clear.
Another phase OF the ques-
tion that evidently cannot
be mentioned in good taste
is the fact that all payments
can be made without in
creasing the taxes in the
debtor nations by taking
enough money for the pur-
pose from the appalling
amounts they are spending
for war purposes.
