__ __ Pass
the District Bill!
Only a few hours now remain before
tlie expiration of the present Congress,
nrul when t e pavel falls at noon on the
4th of M i eh till bills unacteil upon will
fail. Thei- is crave possibility that the
District appropriation hill may fail of
passape in this matitier because of the
refusal of advocates and opponents of
' xcise legislation to apree upon a compromise
or to command sufficient strenpth
to force their nv\n proposals throuph the
House of Representatives. It is undoubtedly
to the interest of those opposed
t<? the pending: Jones-Works amendment
?.writ d by the District bill to cause the
complete failure of the measure. This
would continue present conditions, at
least for some months. <>n the other
hand, it is to the interest of the advoyatei
of temperance lepislatlon to pet
something better than the present law.
Are those who are In favor of the amendment
of the law, in the interest of stricter
repu ation of the liquor traffic, disposed
to continue their fipht apainst any compromise
to the point of ki linp the bill
and so continuinp exlstinp conditions?
However desirable may be the provisions
of the Jones-Works bill, if the parliamentary
situation is such that even a
majority cannot pet it throuph the House
at l..i- stave of the session, it is the duty
of the advocates of reform to seek or to
a wept a compromise. 1 esterda. sucri a
compromise, lacking, however, the primarily
desirable feature of th" separation
of tlie excise functions from the
hoard of assessors, was rejected in the
J louse by a heavy vote. T! ?- motion,
which required two-thirds for success,
lacked ?onsiderable of even a majority.
T is indicates a large strength in favor
of excise reform in the House. Ordinarily
this majority could work its will, but with
the session so near an end a successful
filibuster <s possible. In these circumstances
it is the duty of all the friends of
excise amendment to work for a compromise
that will effect the passage of the
bill.
There are other Interests at stake than
t ,?t of excise reform. The bill Is, in its
present shape, an excellent one from the
District's point of view. It carries, for
an instance, the public utilities commission
proposal. It states the fiscal relati
.us between the District and the federal
government in satisfactory terms, and
In its details it is a fairly good appropriation
bill. T! e failure of this bill now
would necessitate a hurried re-enactment
during the extra session of Congress.
The broader interests of the District demand
the passage of this bill at the preset
t session, and a grave responsibility
rests upon those who are maneuvering in
their own individual Interests to effect
its failure.

Inauguration Rates.
Tiic report l* . 1' no action will In- taken
L?y tito r-itiiit' on ti.i liotiM' r< solution
prohibiting t cliii rging of mon tiiati a
? rtaiti avi-raef of rates b\ hotels and
a,tine' hoii.si - ami foi other public uc
oininodations 111 this city during the
inauguration sea. on is reassuring to the
ousim .-s men of Washington, not because
ti.ere is any chance of general nnreason
ic oven barging lore during this period
but because of the manifest injustice of
an enactment based upon snap judgment
and unwarranted by any of the actual
conditions If the House committee had
paused to investigate the situation it
would probably not have reported favorably
tiie resolution introduced at the bei.'.-t
of a constituent of one of the ntembets
who regarded himself as the victim
of extortionate prices. Taking the situation
as a whole, the prices charged here
during the, inauguration time are reasonable
in comparison with those charged
elsewhere on occasions of large temporary
as31 trtbia-c. Tin se matters are rcguP*
lated by the usual economic law of supply
and demand. When 1,000 peool?
want rooms In a hotel that will accommodate
only 500. there Is a disposition to
bid for places. Of course^ such accommodations
are not auctioned to the highest
bidders. Tho matter regulates itself in
terms of an averaging of rates. The
"Washington hotel keepers, with long experience
in handling large crowds, know
better than do the managers of hotels in
most other cities how to scale their prices
to tho traffic. It would be absurd to
require any Washington hotel to charge
only the same amodnt of money for a
room whoso windows command the line
of march on inauguration day as for a
room in another part of the building
without such an outlook. A room with
parade-viewing windows is equivalent to
a private grandstand, more comfortable
than the open-air stands. If it were In
any ordinary building without hotel accommodations
such a room would bring
a high figure. To compel the hotel keepers
to charge only the rates of a year's
average for all their rooms would force
them to let their parade-viewing rooms
at a far lower rate than that obtaining
in the case of other buildings similarly
situated. But, details aside, the enactment
of the proposed resolution at this
juncture would be outrageously unjust
upon the local business interests. In
many cases reservations of rooms for the
inaugural week have been made several
months in advance. Provisions have been
made for the accommodation of the
crowds on the usual scale, and to impose
a legal restriction now, suddenly and
without any warning, would be unfair,
not only to hotel keepers but to the
guests themselves as well. As for restaurants
and eating houses, there is no
justification for any increase of prices
during the inauguration season. But
whether the matter could be regulated by
act of Congress is a question.
The Navy.
It is Senate against House now in the
matter of new battleships. The Senate,
by more than three to one, has voted for
two. The House, by a narrow majority,
obtained only after a hard struggle, has
voted for one. A conference must settle
the dispute.
An examination of the Senate vote is
interesting, though it may not be especially
illuminating. Mr. Martin, who Is
surrendering the democratic leadership,
voted for two ships. So did Mr. Martine.
who comes from Mr. Wilson's state of
New Jersey, and stands close to Mr.
Wilson. 'Mr. Kern, the new Senate leader,
and his colleague, Mr. Shlvely, who
come from Mr. Marshall's state of Indiana,
and Mr. Smith of CJeorgia, slated
for much prominence and influence after
the 4th, voted for one ship.
If the Senate in conference yields, and
only one ship is authorized, the result
! will not be a triumph for economy. That
| cry, so far as relating to the navy, has
! been a pretense. But nobody has been
: deceived. With millions going for public
j buildings, and many more millions for
| rivers and harbors, all parceled out to
forward the political fortunes of those
with the votes, the talk about economy
as respects the navy has caused cither
amusement or indignation.
But however the present contest results?for
one ship or two?the question
of the navy?its size and the government's
full purposes with regard to itmust
come promptly before the new administration.
Next winter, with the democrats
in full control of Congress, the
preparation of the naval bill will afford
opportunity for the making of a record.
The Baltimore platform declared for
"an adequate and well proportioned navy,
sufficient to defend American policies,
protect our citizens and uphold the honor
and dignity of the nation." A good
specimen of glittering generality, and
valuable in a campaign where particulars
are not desirable.
But particulars are necessary in the
drafting of legislation, and when the next
naval bill is put on the stocks, reasons
must be given for putting things in, or
for keeping things out. It will have to
be stated what our policies are which
call for power on the water, and where
our citizens are likely to need protection
by such means.
Mr. Wilson has yet to express himself
on this as on some other issues contained
in the Baltimore chart. At the
outset at least his words should carry
much weight with Congress: and if he
advises a liberal support of the navy we
shall probably see such supplies provided.
As New Jersey looks out on the
ocean he may see this question through
New Jersey spectacles.
A Vice ITesident, being less burdened
with immediate and sustained responsibilities.
naturally has more tune for the
various social diversions which distinguish
life at a great capital.
If woman were as eager for the last
word as she has been represented, the
suffrage parade would have been held on
March "? instead of March
A number ?>t members <>f Congress arc
now wondering what business an architect
had to put a "President's room" in
the I nitod States Capitol.
Harry Thaw 's experiences seem to compel
contact with almost every form of
human obliquity.

the problem "How ;<> happy without

Even a direct election of senators may
not entirely do away with certain indirect
methods of lining up voters.
; ??? ?
The Vice Presidency.
Mr. Wilson compliments the men who
have filled the office of Vice President,
and the record supports him. As a rule,
they have been strong men, and in nearly
every case with talents associable with
the tirst place. Several of them afterward
reached first place, and one of these
?Mr. Jefferson?made a great name for
himself in it.
In one case the country met with probably
itw greatest surprise. That was the
case of Mr. Arthur, who reached the
White House in circumstances unusually
tryinK. out carried nmiseir there in a way
to merit and receive the highest admiration.
lie had not aspired to national office,
and at home had not li?-ld office of the
tirst local rank. He was rated as a clever
politician in the matter of organization
and management, and personally was
popular for a tinished social address.
At t'hicago lie had been named for Vice
President in order to placate Mr. Conkling.
who had been defeated in his effort
to nominate Gen. Grant for a third term
for President, it was feared that Mr.
Conkling might sulk unless in some way
recognized, and as Mr. Arthur was the
Senator's friend and one of his lieutenants
he was associated with Gen. Garfield
on the national ticket.
During the campaign the nomination
was seriously assailed. Mr. Arthur was
described as a New York dandy, with a
taste for ward politics, and no capacity
beyond ward needs. It was asserted that
never before had so mediocre a man been
nominated for so high an office. Suppose,
it was asked, lie should be elected,
and then reach tirst place by the death
of his chief? Many hands went up in
horror at the suggestion.
Fate decreed that very result. Mr.
Arthur reached the White House by the
death of ins chief, but, instead of making
a failure there, he made a pronounced
success. He gave the country a capital
administration, and carried himself in the
presidency according to Its best traditions.
So well did he manage. Indeed,
that, so far as his party was concerned,
he brought two warring factions together
so closely the democrats won the next
election by only a scratch. The New
York dandy and former ward politician
had risen to a national opportunity In the
handsomest form imaginable.
Mr. Wilson's yokemate Is a man of experience
In state affairs, and there is
every reason to believe will meet his
obligations here well. Presiding over the
Senate may not be the ideal task for a
rattling stump orator and phrase-maker,
who would shine on the floor in debate:
but Mr. Marshall will be able to serve
his party outside of the discharge of
the routine duties of his office, and Mr.
Wilson, It is understood, will give him
the chance.

responsibilities in a way that

general intelligence.

Taft and Wilson.
Wasbiugtou Correspondence Ilostcu Transcript.
President-elect Wilson has mystilied
Washington again by tiis rejection of the ^
offer of President Taft to acquaint hint
with the details of the Mexican situation
and of such other affairs as he might like .
to study at first hand in advance of Incoming
the chief executive of the nation.
The reitsons underlying Gov. Wilson's
determination to draw so sharp a line between
the present administration and his
own can only be conjectured. It is only
courteous to assume that they are satisfactory
to President Taft. The human
side of Mr Taft never has been better
illustrated than by his noble and highminded
attitude toward his successor. It
is, perhaps, unexampled that a defeated
President of the United States should
seek thus to smooth the pathway of the
man who defeated him. The philosophic
calm, the actual good humor with which
the President has met his reverses has
amazed his friends, as it has confounded
his enemies. Mr. Taft never has been
blind to ills own mistakes nor sought
to blame any one else for their results.
He never has held himself infallible in
act or superior in judgment. As he often
has said, he has done his best and has
been content to await a final verdict
which will be rendered by the people in
their cooler moments. It is a favorite
sentiment of the present Governor of
Mssachusetts that "'a man Is stronger
every time he is beaten." However that
may be, the sober sentiment of Washington
is declaring already that Mr. Taft
- ?^ iwinMT fri^nfiH in the country

today than ever before. Washington believes
that Mr. Taft In his useful retirement
at Yale will be regarded with everincreasing
regard und affection by the
American people. '
Congress and Executive.
From the Vw York Tribune.
A good many democratic senators and
representatives have been unnerved by
Mr. Wilson's hint that he will probably
find frequent use for the President's room
at the Capitol. They think that he will
make them a little ridiculous if he pays
tiiem informal visits to talk over legislation.
The legislative branch is very Jealous
of executive encroachment. Senators
and representatives are willing to go to
the White House and discuss legislation,
since they can always save appearances
by saying that they went there to recommend
appointees or to do other errands
| for their constituents. But an open confession
of the executive collaboration in
the details of lawmaking would sorely
wound congressional self-esteem.
