An Unprofitable Research.
11 the House District committed [
wishes to reu*h a dependable conclusion
, tj? to the finances of the National t ap
ito.1 It will do well to abandon its pres
ent line of inquisition in an attempt
to show small inconsistencies and pos
sibly discriminations In the actual as
sessment of properties for taxation pur
poses and undertake to ascertain how
Washington stands in this matter of
assessment and tax-raising ' as com
pared with other cities. The important
question is not whether the law re
quires a two-thirds assessment or
merely permits it or whether in apply
ing this rule of assessment there have
been some isolated instances of favorit
ism. It is whether the District is rais
ing an equitable amount of tax reve
nues from the real and personal prop
erty subject *to taxation, to match the
federal money appropriated under the
organic act for the support of the fed
eral city.
Any such research, conscientiously eon
ducted, not in a spirit of avowed hostil
ity or in championship of some other
method of levying taxes than that now in
vogue, will quickly lead the committee
to the conclusion tiiat the District is heart
ing today its equitable burden of taxa
tion. Far better could the time and funds
at the disposal of the committee be em
ployed in obtaining tax tigures of other
cities of comparable size, than in probing
for inconsequential details of the assess
ment system.
If It is the purpose of the committee to
change the present system by the adop
tion of the single tax principle, it need
not delay in making Its recommendation
to that effect- If the minds of its mem
?ers are already made up on this point,
why go through weeks of cross-examina
tions to show the shortcomings of the
present method? What Is needed Is con
structive work, not merely the searching
for a scandal that very probably does not
exist.
There seems to be a disposition in this
so-called investigation to get something
"on" the District, to unearth evils, to
show corruption. The committee may as
well make up its mind at the outset
that there are no evils calling for so
elaborate and expensive a research as
that contemplated. If. as Representative
Campbell said yesterday in the House,
the District owes a large sum of money
to the government in tne form of interest
on certain bonds wrongfully paid out of
federal funds in the face of the law re
quiring it to be paid out of District reve- :
nuts, the fact can surely be ascertained i
by the accounting officers of the Treas- 1
ury Department. As for conditions in
the assessor's office, could not the House
depend upon the Commissioners them
selves, newly appointed, and in no way J
identities w:th preceding administrations,
to return a trustworthy report in re
sponse to a resolution of inquiry?
Already the investigation, conducted by
tne House committee have cost a large j
sum of money, and now another consider
able amount is to be spent in a proceed
ing that cannot possibly return results in
proportion to the expense. The citing
of instances of so-called recovery of fed- I
?ral money are misleading. The govern- ;
ment has a well organised auditing sys- j
tem from which the truth can bo ascer
tained. .-?gain The Star suggests that the
committee undertake a practical line of
investigation and acquire information as
to how the District stands in the matter
of tax raising as compared with other
municipalities of correspondingly the
same size.
Canoe Dangers.
The old experiment of trying to change
?eats in a canoe was tried on the l'oto
n.ac river near this city the other da>>
with the usual result of a drowning. Ca
noeists have been told over and over
again that this cannot be safely done, yet
they persist in trying it, and the coroner
is kept busy in consequence, and probably
there will always be work for him
through this i>artieular form of folly.
The latest victim of the seat-changing
accident could not swim. Yet he took a
chance on going from one seat to another,
and the frail craft tipped In a tlash. There
Is so little stability to a canoe that any
sudden shifting of weight from the center
is likely to cause an overturn. It is a de
iierhtful form of water craft in favorable
conditions and with good management,
but it cannot be trifled with, and disaster
almost Inevitably overtakes those who re
gard Its possibilities for accident lightly.
As a tirst principle of waterfarlng. a ca
noe should never be used by a person
who is not perfectly competent as a swim
mer when overboard. The combination of
the non-swimmer and the canoe is one of
the-chief caivses of death In summer time.
i'ho srreateat difficulty of arbitration
.^resents itself at the outset, when both
sides insist that there are points not
susceptible of arbltaration.

The Voter Who Shirks.
?eert ;ary Daniels while on his western
tour of Inspection is doJng a little stump,
ing. And discussing other things besides
"a life on the ocean wave, a home on the
robing deep." At Long Beach, Cal.. yes
terday he declared In favor of compul
sory voting.
It Is true that the franchise Is neg
lect ed by many who possess It. Of re
cent years the evil has been growing.
Klections of great Importance involving
issues o? deep interest have aroused only
a languid spirit. L>arge numbers of voters
remained away from the polls.
Only the other day a congressional elec
tion was held in a Xew Jersey district,
and lew than 40 per cent of the electorate
responded. It was a walk-over for
the democratic candidate, because the
opposition, as last year, divided. The re
publicans and the bull moosers refused
to unit^and threw the chance away.
Still, Sere should have been u bumper
vote by the democrat:; An tu: . y
in the til's .<? . . ...
provaj of Ws course, and particularly as
to tariff revision should have been im
proved to the full.
Next year's congressional elections
throughout the country should bring
every voter to the polls. The new demo
cratic legislation will be on trial, and
those who indorse and those who con
demn should register their sentiments at
the ballot box. Will they do so in large
numbers? Judging by the performances
of the past decade, who will be surprised
If only a light vote Is polled?
The remedy for this neglect of the
greatest privilege of citizenship? Sev
eral have been suggested, and Mr. Dan
iels is not first with the one he offers.
Compulsory voting has been advocated
on grounds somewhat similar to those
supporting compulsory school attendance.
But the two things are not alike.
Why not make election days, city, state
and national, holidays, so that no busi
ness man would be able to plead busi
ness as an excuse for absence from the
polls. Then make both fishing and hunt
ing on election days penitentiary offenses,
and much of the difficulty would be
solved. ?Jive the voter leisure, and shut
off his retreats on days when he should
serve the state, and maybe he will do his
duty. ...
The shirk in a country where public
opinion is invited to rule and should rule
is unworthy of his place and high privi
lege. Somehow his case ought to be at
tended to.
The President and Congress.
Senator Works joins in the criticism of
President Wilson's course respecting leg.
islation. lie thinks the President goes
too far; that tly> powers of the presidency
should not l>e used to influence Congress
in the shaping of its measures. So do
others.
The President, under the Constitution,
makes recommendations to Congress on
the public welfare. This duty authorizes
him. makes it necessary for him, to have
policies. In this way, and to this extent,
he Is a leader.
He may even define his policies, make ,
them plainer, by submitting for the in-j
formation of Congress bills covering the
question discussed. For illustration, he
might have sent along with his message
on the tariff a bill showing In detail how
in his judgment the Payne law should be
revised. While that would have been un
precedented. it would not have been un
constitutional or disrespectful to Con
gress.
But the California senator and many
others hold that a President should not
go beyond recommendations; that he
should not follow the statements of his
views with pressure of any kind on Con
gress for their adoption by that body;
that it is for Congress to take the views
submitted, and, without dictation, act as
it thinks best.
We are hearing less about this matter
now than we may hear next year. The
topic may become a very live one in the
contest for control of the next House.
It is a growing topic. Mr. Wilson Is
credited with the tariff bill. It is expected
that he will put the final touches on the
currency bill. And the latest announce
ment is that he has a plan for remedying
the trust evil which he will urge upon
Congress at the regular session.
What the country will have before it
In the next campaign, therefore, will be
legislation, not by Congress, but more
largely than ever before by the Presi
dent. It will be asked to pass upon the
leadership of Mr. Wilson as he has assert
ed it by and with the consent of Con
gress. ?
If the legislation is successful and the
country prosperous, the Issue may not at
tract attention. Nothing succeeds like
success, aud if the voters are enjoying a
good tuing they will not become excited
alnjut its source. If the President has sup
plied it all by himself, the greater will be
his popularity.
But if the legislation fails, and wide
distress prevails, the condemnation of the
Congress that abdicated its functions and
permitted the President to become "the
whole thing" will be deep and emphatic.
A rich West Virginia woman, aged
sixty-eight, is considered insane by hor
children because she Insisted on purchas
ing a typewriter, for which they could
see no use. Every lover of fair play will
hope that the old lady turns out some
thing in the way of a magazine story
that will vindicate her evident ambition
to hit the literary pace.

A Visit to Bichard Croker.
Several old-time Tammanyites crossed
the Atlantic recently, and after a few
days In Eondon paid a visit to Richard
Croker on Ins Irish estate. They greatly
enjoyed their stay. The old chief showed
them over his place, and leisurely through
the stables. He talked horse to them,
Ireland to them, old days In New York
to them, but never a word about present
day American politics, or Tammany's
present plight under the Murphy leader
ship Such, at least, la their account of
the meeting.
It must have taxed both them and him
to steer clear of the subject. When in
doubt play trumps. In Tammany circles
the rule long has been, when In doubt
consult Mr. Croker. He has had a power
ful vogue. Ills friends have hailed him
as wise and faithful, and when he gave
up his place at the head of the organisa
tion they sorrowed. Not a day has passed
since that they have not wished him
back.
If these travelers had confessed that
their object in visiting Ireland was to
get an opinion from Mr. Croker about
existing political conditions In New York,
with a view of shaping their course ac
cording to his suggestions, there would
have been no surprise. For not only are
those conditions alarming to the demo
crats, but Mr. Croker would appear to
be exceptionally well qualified to assist
in relieving the situation.
He has always been a friend of Gov.
Sulzer. The bright and energetic young
lawyer with a taste and capacity for pol
itics early attracted Mr. Croker's atten
tion. He sent him to the legislature. He
supported htm for speaker. He supported
! him later for Congress, and helped to
continue him to the House for many
years.
Now the democratic difficulty in New
j York out of the break between Gov.
S-jIk.t .hid the o:-JPIMl .-Tort?
Mr. Croker as mediator succeed? Is his
influence with the governor still sufficient
to secure him a hearing in that quarter?
And would his old followers in Tammany
respond to his overtures "for the good
of the order"?
Mr. Croker Is old and rich, and fond
now of leisure. He has been out of the
political game for some years, and may
not care to re-enter even temporarily and
for a specific purpose. He is not over
fond of Charles F. Murphy, but has never
opposed any of the latter's plans, or en
couraged any of his enemies. Jf, as re
ported in today's news, Mr. Croker is
soon to pay a visit to his farm at Hlch
field Springe, New York, his presence
there should add to the great interest
already existing in the politics of the
state.
When the big demonstration takes
place it will be strange Jf one T. R. is not
somehow brought forward as a man who
had much to do with getting the Panama
canal under way.
Jack Johnson may be a great hit on the
stage In Paris, but there is no chance of
his coming back with a European reputa

SHOOTING STARS
in PHILANDER JOHNSON
An Endless Enterprise.
"When do you think the tariff will be
revised?"
And with an expression of extreme
weariness the statesman replied:
"For ever and ever!"
A Controversy Suspended.
"Now as to this Shakespeare-liacon
controversy"?began the student.
"We won't hear much of it for a month
or so,' replied the theater manager. "Trie
press agents for Shakespearean stars are

Cities are very much like people. Every

Man Throws Off the Yoke.
From tbe Cincinnati Times-Star.
There was a time not many years ago
when man, less afraid than now of becom
ing sartorially conspicuous, and having
more regard for comfort than style, sur
rendered cheerfully to the call of the white
suit In hot weather. He wore white clothes
unafraid. He gloried in their cool roomi
ness and their quiet defiance of the sun's
withering attack. Then, like the birds
which go whither no man knows, nor
why. the white suit disappeared from
mortal sight. Instead came heavier stuff
and heavier discomfort. Man became a
slave to padded shoulders und thicker
fabrics, and he perspired accordingly. He
was ashamed of white suits, and became
the slave of tailored barbarities. But
glory be. There are signs that the com
fortable. sane linen suit is again to have
its day. Man has- already screwed up his
courage sufficiently to wear the lightest
shades of tan. He has found by this ex
periment that, instead of his being
mobbed as a curiosity, others are taking
courage from him. Today the light, thin
suit is once more familiar on the streets.
