She 13 reported as being one of the most execu- tive of secretaries and at the same time one of the most secretarial of ex- ecutives that has everjoined the aux- illary. ‘Under her capable mavage- ment the organieation is making huge strides and is reporting progress in every department.

That was one of the great problems of life, until I discovered @ way out of i{t.

MAJORITY IN THE SENATE BELIEVES IT HAS \THE RIGHT SCHEME. / IS DEVISED IN CONFERENCES Cash for Payments to Former Service Men Probably Will Be. Derived | From Our Europecan Debtors— Smeoot Still Urging Sales Tax. By EDWARD B. CLARK Wasningion.- The Kepublican ma- Jovity in the senate is hammering out the prospective gold of the foreign debt funding bill into a glittering leg- islative sheet which will be warrant- ed to hold water. Of course this thing Is a financial matter, and in finance; east is east and west is west, though why it should be a geographical mat- ter, an affuir of latitude and longitude, 50 to speak, no layman in Washington seems thorouglily to understand. Such is the fact, however, and what the bases should be to make finances sta- ble are matters of varying prairie und oceanside opinion. The Republicans in the senate, have ing a large majority over the Demo- cratic brethren, have been holding con- ferences. ‘which happens to be in the majority In the senate feels safe in calling an bld-time caucus in which each man who entered virtually pledges himself to abide by a majority decision. To- day they confer and come to partial agreements which are to be kept only in case some of the gentlemen’ pres- ent do not discover afterward that there is ample reason to change their minds about the legislative program projected, and elect, after explanation, to stand in opposition. Apparently it is now definitely as- sured that the senate will face some kind of a veterans’ adjusted compen-|: sation blll containing a cash payment provision. It is not, however, defi- nitely known whence is to come the money to pay the bills. Eventually, probably, the cash payments to the for- mer soldiers will be made from’funds collected from foreign debtors of Uncle Sam. Even if a proper bill for fund- ing the foreign debt is pdssed by con- gress, there Is no final assurance to- day when these funds will ba avail- able. Sales Tax Still Opposed. Senator McCumber bas assumed the leadefship of the finance committee. | He probably will be held .in part per sonally responsible by the country for the final form which the bill for the funding of the forelgn'debt shall assume. Of course, the Republican wajority will be responsible, but the President must take some of the bur- den, whether it be praise oy blame, because in a way he is the director-in- chief of the party’s legislative act}vl- tles. When thg taxation measures first were given consideration, Senator Smoot of TUtah, who in a way is the real leader of the Republican majority in the senate, stood as the aidvocate of a sales tax. There was great op- position, and, appreciating its force and probably final effect, Mr, Smoot made changes in his proposal. He won some few senators to his side, but he couid not get enough of them to carry the day. There is still great opposition to the sales tux as a means of raising addi- tional revenue. This kinu of a tax has been advocated, opposed, praised and damnoed alternately. Certain ele- ments in the manufacturing communi-|. ties are opposed to it, and certain ele- ments in them are in favor of it, and identically the same words can be used to describe tho feellngs of the consuming masses. Want to Try Something, Anyhow, Who knows? Mr. Smoot says, he koows, and other men in the senate say they know. The non-legislator is tonvinced by one argument and then unconvinced by the rebuttal, and there you go. Sometimes the wish ‘is ex- prassed that “any old thing” might ba tried out in order to see how it will work. Such is the yearning for re- tief of some kind from those elements in-the American communities who hap- pen to be represented in ene way .or another in Washington when hearings | | sre being held by the committees hav- Ing charge of finances. The Republican majority in the seu- ate seems finally to believe that it sees the fixed light of agreement among its members and that the factional ships naw can steer a clear course into the harbor of harmony. When the senate’ convened last spring the Republicans. had such a great majority that there was rejoicing among them because they believed the way was clear and no troubles could beset their helms- wan or crew. Some storms came, rocks and sandbars were encountered i and the supposedly stanch vessel hus of moving forward during the war., “Plan your battle of life in advance. Map out every detail of what you want to accomplish, and then follow out your program.” The Marshal gives his formula for success in two sen-, tences: He who moves forward wins.” B “He who hesitates is lut.i \=ous, and congress, been several times near’to the point ! ot foundefing. Now the Republicaps, say, although the Democrats strongly, deny it, that the seams and holes in| the hull have been closed and that the craft is as good as new. The Demo- crats believe that the Republican ma- jority is likely again to break into factions at any moment. District Hit by Economy Spasm. Iu the name of economy a goodi deal of scrimping seems to be the or- der of the congressional day. The ex- penses of government are simply enor-, in its eflort to Apparently today no party|: .| war. mental expenses bhere, there and ev- erywhere, but the inevitable question Is the cutting in every case being directed wisely? Something like $10,000,000 has just been cut from the estimates of the Treasury department for the support of the municipal. and other activities of the District of Columbia, which neans the city of Washington, for the next fiscal year. Economy, like charity, therefore, in this case seems to begin at home, for while Washington perhaps cannot be called the home of senators iand representatives, it Is the home of the United States government. 1 1t is urged here that it is a dubi- ous economy which would cripple the {proper activities of the. capital .of the United States which just now iv a large w. is the capital of the world. ‘Hl)we\w, the decrease in the estimdres lpl'rvb.lblv will be indorsed by Dorir ‘houses of congress, and pylice, ire and ,,eneral improvement matters in the capital may have to get along as well as they can on an amount about one- third less than that proposed by the 1Treasury department after an eco- nomic minded budget director had re- duced the estimates to what he con- sidered to be the limit. Record Offers Chance for Ecanomy. . It may seem strange for men who “write for print” to suggest that the printing bills of congress might be cut down with'advantage to the treas- ury and to the public, and perhaps with advantage to some of the mem- Vers themselves, for it is inconceivable that more than a few of the congress- men gain anything by having their lmde a showing, Is. cutting govern- speeches “extended in the Record.” The United States pays a large sumt of money each year to print and to \circulate speeches of members of con- gress which were never made. A mem- | ber rises to speak as many words as | he can in the few minutes allotted to bim, and then asks permission to ex- tend his remarks in the Record. He always gets permission, and frequently pears with the enlightening inforwma- tion that it is the speech of Hon. So and So delivered in the senate or the louse of representatives on the great subject of this or that. ‘Some of these mever-delivered speeches which appear in printed form in the Record are interesting becaust they are amusing. War With Spain Not Forgotten. As wars are viewed, the con- flict between the United States and Spain locks like a minor engage- ‘ment when compared’ with the titanic Dattlings of the recent great struggle between the nations of the earth, but nevertheless the soldiers and saflors who took part in the struggles of 1898 are not forgotten in the capitul of 'the country. Shortly there will take place the #wenty-fourth anniversary of the slnk- {:: of the battleship Maine in the har- of Havana, Cuba. Preparations are peing miade'tn this ity to commentorate n:edlluterudmmymutntho' fmemory of the men ‘who lost their lives on that stanch new shlp when it fvent to destruction on a’ dark Febru- pry night in the year 1898, It was in 1910 that congress mads provmon for the raising of the wreck ‘of the Maine." There always has beeu ‘some dispute as to whether or not thu :vessel was destroyed by aninternal exploslun, or by one from without, al- though a board of investigation de- lelded that the ship was destroyed ma- liciously by a torpedo launched either by enemies. of this country or by men .who desired to see the United States ‘enter the war in behalf of Cuba and ‘bellevefl that such a horrible act of destmcfion would bring about the end they sought. When the Maine was (rnslefl evidences were found to prove /that the finding of the first board of 1nwsfiganon had been correct in every domll. Main Mast in Arlington. > It was determined to bring to the United States for erectlon in Arling- lton cemetery for memorial purposes ;the steel main mast of the Maine. The ‘Collier Leonidas was assigned to the duty of bringing the mast to ‘Wash- Ington. It was just ten years ago that ‘the Leonidas tied up at the Washing- ton-navy yard dock after a hard fight |mth the ice in Chesapeake bay and the Potomac river. It was found that thé¢ main mast vas in good condition and that what is know as the “fighting top,” used for the accommodation of six gunners us- ‘ing rapid fire guns, was intact. The weight of the main mast with its ap- ‘purtenances is something over four tons. “This relic of the Maine was taken to Arlington cemetery where it :| was erected over the graves of the men ho lost their lives on the ship and whose bones, taken from the hold of the vessel, were braught to Washing- ton” on a battleship for interment in the national cemetery. Prior to the placing of the main mast in Arlington a beautiful memos rial already had been erected. The main mast supplements the original monument and in a:way is a more fit- ting one to the memory of the sailors who died. There is an organization in Wash- ing which bas for its object the kéep- ing green of the memory of the men ‘who died in the Spnmsh war and for aiding the veterans of the service who took part in the battles in Cuba. This organization hss not been disrupted by the greater demands made upon ihe {ime of men and women which have come as a result of the great Soon there will be a service in Arlington cemetery in memory of the Spanish war dead, and taking part in It there will be hundreds of veterans of that war and mavy representatives of the families of service men, deal nnr] uvlng AR page after page of printed matter ap-, ~
