Executive Sessions.
It is to l?t* hoped the Senate will not
abolish its executive sessions. So far as
the* public is concerned, the present arranscment
works admirably. By locking
the doors and throwing the veil of secrecy
over matters, curiosity is whetted, and
certain y interest is amply gratified.
There is as much of Mother Eve as of
Fath*Adam?irreverently referred to as
?">ld \iiam-in the world. The forbidden
has a tang all its own. Stolen kisses are
the sweetest.
Take yesterday's executive session as a
case in point The published story is
reasonably full, and very entertaining.
One is advised of the subject under discussion.
the character of the discussion,
the names of the participants and the J
final line-up. What more could a rea- j
sonable person desire? With the Panama
tolls question, the battle at Torreon.
the homeward movement of John
Lind and the Flster racket in Ireland
all press in--: for space, what more could
the newspapers print about the confirmation
of an interstate commerce commissioner?
The story is well lighted up. There is
the threat of expulsion for telling out
of school. There is the dare flung back
with spirit. There is the new point raised
about whether a senator swears to. by,
under or at the Senate's rules, or simply
to support and defend the Constitution.
Seriously speaking, the matter under |
discussion behind closed doors in the I
Senate yesterday has aspects to which j
the public has the right to many par- I
ticuiars. It is based, indeed, upon a public
record. Much was known before any
senator, either for or against Mr. Daniels,
spoke. What was said yesterday,
therefore, has a public bearing; and if
senators choose later to repeat themselves,
on the stump or elsewhere, and
even amplify their remarks, there will
lie no just criticism of their course. And
that course will be as free to one side
as the other.
There is public business which always
has been and always will be transacted
in private. It has to do with treaties
and correspondence passing between the
dtate Department and our diplomatic
representatives. No senator would think
of divulging any information ot that kina
coming ty him either in his ofhci&l capacity
or as an individual There is not
a member of the Senate who could not
be trusted to exercise excellent judgment
in all such cases.
lake wise there is good reason for
secret conferences in party matters.
Blinds should be drawn and doors locked
when family differences are being adjusted.
All of this is plain enough. But secrecy
which denies the public what the puinic
has a right to know will always, In
this era oi publicity, in some way be, and
should be, defeated.
Washington s political Status.
Tie divtrained lines of thought concerning
the political status of Washington
were inteiestingly and intelligently voiced
at the meeting of the Chamber of Comuierce
last night. The advocates of a
larger participation by the community in
the local government and of representation
as an American ngnt in the national
government effectively presented their
cases. The fact was recognized by most
of the speakers that the battle now in
progress for a sguaie deal for Washington
against the assaults upon national
participation under the half-and-half law
in capital upbuilding must be fought out
to a definite and decisive conclusion before
the political claims of the Washingtonian
can be wisely and effectively
pressed upon Congress. While there is no
inconsistency between the half-and-half
provision and representation for Wash.ngton
in Congress and the electoral college.
and greater consideration for the
opinions of the local community in the administration
of Its municipal government,
the assailants of Washington who threaten
a withdrawal of national participation
In capital upbuilding tender only a worthless
counterfeit of American rights In exchange,
and insist that both cannot coexist.
Tie danger is recognized that the
pressing of Washington's political claims
at this time may be used to the capital's
serious disadvantage by Its enemies; and
apparent-y the discussion is postponed by
common consent.
After looking the Baltimore platform
over and recalling the history surrounding
it Mr. Bryan concluded that
it was not entirely to be relied upon as
a great peace promoter.
Possibly It was decided that after
what the tariff did to the sugar business
New Orleans would not need any
more banks.
Aviation has not yet developed any
public benefits that compensate for the
loss of life it has caused.
Platforms and Platform Smashers.
Putting the matter upon a low and
selfish plane, does it pay, politically, to
repudiate a platform outright, or. even
Indirectly, by disappointing sentiment due
to popular party interpretation of such
a deliverance? Take several Instances:
Mr Cleveland was a gold man. and the
financia' plank of the Chicago platform
of 1892, while not a clear-cut gold deliverance,
was fashioned to favor him.
But the silver democrats were won to his
support in the campaign by the assurance
coming from his headquarters that
if elected he would do "the fair thing
by silver." What he did to silver we
all remember; and it was freely asserted
after he had acted that if it had been
known before election day what policy
Mr. Cleveland in office would pursue he
would have been defeated. The sliver
men would not have aided in their own
destruction. Mr. Bryan has described
that campaign as "a bunco game."
In 1895 the democrats of Kentucky
nominated Gen. Hardin for governor on
a platform the financial plank of which |
bore the impress of John G. Carlisle, j
then Secretary of the Treasury, and, as j
such, Mr. Cleveland's spokesman on i
financial matters. Mr. Carlisle had been
reckoned a silver man before entering
Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, and Gen. Hardin,
a fellow Kentuckian, had learned his silver
lesson of him. It was easy, therefore,
for the silver men to induce Gen.
Hardin to give a silver interpretation.,
which really was a repudiation, of the
platform. The result was the defeat of
the democratic ticket and the success of
the republican ticket, for the first time
in the state since the organization of
the republican party.
I At St. Louis in 1004 there was a sort
of juggle with the financial question, the
silver democrats unwilling to accept any
flat rejection of their silver views, and
the gold democrats equally unwilling to
Indorse the Bryanite contention outrignt. i
The straddle agreed upon looked so queer
to Wall street that Judge Parker was
Induced to give it a gold tinge by wire:
and by doing so he put himself out of
the running completely. He would probably
have been defeated anyhow, but as
soon as the Bryanites became convinced
that while the candidate wanted their
votes he was not of or with them, they
prepared to cut him, and did cut him. by
the ten thousands at the polls.
Mr. Cleveland and the members of his
cabinet passed from the scene at the
end of the four years, and never exerted
any influence on politics again. Gen.
Hardin, an able and excellent man. who
at that time seemed headed for the Senate,
has never appeared in public affairs
since his defeat for governor, while
Judge Parker, since his defeat for President,
has confined his efforts to the
practice of law. and has no political
following, at home or elsewhere, today.
Capture of Torreon.
The defeat of the Mexican federals at
Torreon and the capture of that place
extend and complete the control of
the constitutionalists over a large part
of northern and northwestern Mexico.
For months the constitutionalists have
planned for a trial of strength with
the federals at this important city on
the north and south railroad line from
Juarez to Mexico City and the east and
west line from Matamoras and Monterey
to Durango. Since the raising of
the American embargo on arms Villa
has publicly and noisily acc.aimed his
intention of fighting there. That the
troops of Gen. Velasco were not strongly
enough reinforced to withstand the
siege and assault argues weakness on
the part of the Huerta government.
Torreon is considerably more than onethird
of the way from Chihuahua to
Mexico City, and if Huerta had simply
meant to lure Villa farther south for
the purpose of fighting a decisive bat
lie nearer me main leaerai Dase, perhaps
the resistance at Torreon would
not have been so earnest and long sustained.
Various conclusions may be
drawn from the result at Torreon, but
the news Indicates a substantial advance
of the constitutionalists' cause.
The losses being reported show the
seriousness of the attack and the stur- ,
diness of the resistance, and must raise
the general estimate of Villa as a
strategist, organizer and leader of
troops.
Clean StreffeK
One of the tasks which thte clean-up
committee has assigned to itself is to
urge observance of the law against littering
the streets, and where this plan i
falls short of results to urge enforcement
of the law. The committee believes
that too much litter, waste paper and ,
other refuse is thrown into the streets,
and a casual inspection of some streets,
especially in the residence sections of the
city, will show that this belief is founded
on fact. This offensive practice is not
confined to the so-called poorer sections
of Washington. It is no doubt true that
this reprehensible practice is not carried
so far as in most other American cities,
but it is a practice which should not be
indulged in at all. As an evidence of the
extent of this careless and untidy habit
outside of Washington the following quotation
from the Philadelphia Ledger is
illuminating:
"In the meantime, with the clean-up
icea in the air, it is a pity that various
authorities, including the police, cannot
make an object lesson now and then of
offending citizens through the enforcement
of existing ordinances which relate
to the littering of the street and ot her like
nuisances. As it is now, one can see well
dressed, intelligent-looking and apparently
respectable citizens going about the
town and not hesitating to toss a mass of
newspapers or even a bundle of trash into
the street and then walking off nonchalantly,
often with a policeman looking .
on."
It is also to be seen from this that Philadelphia
has the clean-up idea, e.nd that
it may have a clean-up campaign in
prospect.
No doubt Secretary Houston's farmer
friends will feel encouraged by the fact
that his state gets two of the bank
prizes. The agricultural interests of the
country have too long slighted the advantages
to be gained by financial foresight.
The belief expressed by Senator Lewis
of Illinois that wo have no friends
among the great European nations is
disquieting. Maybe we could win some
of them over If the senator would consent
to speak to them.
Uncle Joe Cannon says he Is enjoying
life, but does not say juet -why. Surely
Uncle Joe is not the man to derive
amusement from the anxieties of fellow
statesmen, even though their views may
be opposed to his.
It is now asserted that England is
being as much misunderstood by the
American press as America used to be
by the English pre?s.
Even the most cheerful patriot must
admit that the ancestral warnings
against entangling: foreign alliances
have not been fully regarded.
Occasionally a South American political
economist writes a few pagec about the
Monroe Doctrine In order to prove there
isn't any.
It is rather disappointing to And that
after all these years Gen. Coxey could
not think up any improvements on his
"march-to-Washlngton" idea.
The Panama canal represents water
power on such a colossal scale that even
the conservationists hesitate about taking
it under supervision.
Do Not Annoy the Fairies.
Newspapers chronicle a recurrence of
strife between those educators who contend
that fairies are good for something
and those who maintain that fairies are
good for nothing. A sense of regret
comes Into the hearts, or perhaps the
minds, of many people when Inconoclasteducators
seek to destroy the fairies. It
is not easy to understand what provocation
the fairies have given these educators,
but there must be offense somewhere.
Many fairies are given to practical
jokes, and perhaps some of the frolicsome
fairies have played a prank on
educators whose sense of humor is defective.
It has never been held that
fairies are the especial friends of schoolmasters.
Fairies have always been the
f
friends and companions of little children.
Many children would have been lonesome
without their fairies. Some of the goldenest
hours of children are spent in fairyland,
and that would be a dreary place
without the fairies.
Some of the. best playwrights, poets,
story tellers and music authors have givj
en to the world facts and opinions con{
cerning fairies, and it is hard to understand
how a few classroom pedants can
reach the conclusion that in the first
place there are no fairies and that In the
second place if there are fairies they are
not good for children. Every child knows
better than this. The good fairies are
always good to little children, and even
the bad fairies sometimes cause little
children to be good when they might incline
to be naughty.
Grown-up schoolmasters should not be
accepted as witnesses against the fairies.
Real fairies rarely reveal themselves to
grown-ups. What fun could a fairy have
in playing with a grown-up? Grown-urs
when they were children knew the fairies,
but on growing up and becoming stiff in
their joints, set in their opinions and
perhaps sour in temper, they have fortmfrpn
th*? fairv friends of their youth.
The fairies are perfectly happy in fairyland.
and if the fairies want to visit
little children and have little children
visit them there seems no occasion for
grown-ups to interfere. If a fairy wants
to dance the tango in a buttercup or take
a plunge in a dewdrop, or hold a grand
ball in a bluebell, or keep house in a
beechnut shell, or go joy riding on a
stray moonbeam, it is not the business of
grown-ups to disturb them.
It would of course be sordid and ungenerous
to assume that applause from
John Bull is likely to indicate his belief
that he is getting the better of a bargain.
SHOOTING STAES.
BY rHILANDEU JOHNSON.
Ideas of Postponement.
"What date would you commend for
inauguration?"
"That depends," replied the statesman,
who never commits himself, "on whose
inauguration it is."
History of the Months.
"March came in like a lion and went out
like a lamb."
"That's ancient, history," replied the
man who is never satisfied with the way
things are going. "The question now is
whether April came in foolish and will go
out sensible."
The Dove of Peace.
The dove exclaimed: "Some curious tricks
They've played me in the past.
When I get into politics
I do not seem to last."
A Cynic Apprehension.
"Do you object to women being active
in politics?"
"No," replied Mr. Growcher. "But I
hope they won't force us men into a life
of idleness and compel us to do nothing
but listen to their speeches."
Mistaken Impression.
"When we sent you to Congress you
said you were going to make some
speeches that would wake 'em up," said
the constituent.
"Everybody there went to Congress
with the same Intention," replied the new '
member. "I couldn't find anybody asleep."
The Old Building.
There's a squatty looking building that
was put up years ago,
They called It altltudinous and thought It
quite a show.
But other structures were designed, as ;
men more daring grew.
And this one seemed to dwindle. Its
admirers were but few.
It nestles in a canyon. "Windows loftily
aloof
Gaze down upon the chimneys and the
flagpole on its roof.
Nobody lifts his head today and turns a
wondering eye
On the squatty looking building that we
used to think was high.
Oh, many a glimpse of glory shines and
fades In life's events,
As the theme of song and story with a
nation's compliments.
There's many a statue chiseled for posterity
to see
That doesn't even make the tourist query,
"Who was he?"
As other times bring other men triumphant
to our view,
The world forgets the old in contemplation
of the new.
And we mention bygone greatness with
a reminiscent sighIt
is like the good old building that we j
used to think was high.
Not in the Parks.
From the New York Times.
The plan to establish in this city a
chain of museums of the peaceful arts
to celebrate the hundredth anniversary
of the signing of the treaty of Ghent is
admirable. But no sites for these museums
may be found in the public parks.
Central Park is immediately spoken of.
Those of the organizers who know that
this would arouse strong public opposition
think, nevertheless, that Riverside
Park might serve?by reclaiming some
land from the river. But no park should
be touched.
April.
From the Chicago Poet.
April Is the spring poet's month, and
so it is a daring one who with poor prose
would attempt to enter the field. Some
of the poets who feel the pulsing strong
at this season perhaps may pardon us if
we say that the true spring poet is the
meadow lark. It sings of springs past
and present and to come. John Burroughs
says that the bird repeats from
every fence post and from the occasional
tree top the inspiring information
"Spring o' the year."
Students' Military Camps.
From the Chicago Jonrnal.
The first students' military instruction
camp, held at Gettysburg last year, was
an unqualified success. It was approved
by the youngsters who took their outing
in this fashion, by their instructors in the
camp, by the schools and colleges which
tViAm and bv the Darents who re
celved them back, brown and rugged, with
straight shoulders and clear eyes. Let
the good work grow.
Enough to Be Significant.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Taking off 118 trains sounds almost j
like a suspension of traffic, but it hap- !
pens that the Pennsylvania in the last
six years has operated an average of
2,280 trains dally on its eastern lines?
and thus the cancellations represent only
about 5 per cent.
Small Places.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
How large Is Torreon, some one asks?
That is not to the point. How large was
Gettysburg or Appomattox Court House?
Serious.
From the Chicago Newe.
Torreon takes the Mexican war out of
the opera boufFe class.
Not Recognizable!
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
About a year ago we recognized China
as a republic, butjpo one could do it now.
