NOYE: = = ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and | permanent circulation much more than the co: ed circulation of | the other Washington dailies. As a News a Advertising Medium it has no competitor. | t7 Im order to avoid delays, om ac- Pount of perso: mee, letters to | THE STAR should not be any individual connected wi fice. but simply to THE STAR, the Editorial or Business Departme! according to tenor or ‘An organization in which at least all| Washingtonians should be deeply inter- ested—the Columbia Historical Society—com- | menced its active existence last night and is Bow fairly on its way toward the accom-| ent of a task for which future gene- tions can hardly be otherwise than grate- ful. The society has declared its purposes to be “the collection, preservation and dif- fusion of knowledge respecting the history and topography of the District of Columbia and national history and biography.” That there is paucity of such information as| might fairly be deemed historical as to the | of the city’s area should be reserved for the berefit of the whole people, and as it is impossible for even the most conscienceless demagogue to show the uselessness of parks or to insist that they have demoralizing influences, it does seem as though the broad scheme approved by Gen. Washington and these who were associated with him should Mot at this late and presumably civilized day be interfered with. There have been departures from the rule, it is true, but they have always caused regret even to those who were respcnsible for the tres- passes. The legislators who voted to put the Pension Office in Judiciary Square are the men who today can be depended upon to strenuously oppose any effort to damage the city’s park system. Make buildirg sites of the parks and you deprive the poor of a Priceless blessing and do infinite harm to the public health—which in this city means the health of Congressmen just as much as it does the health of any other class. Surely this government is rich enough to purchase sites for the buildings it needs, and it should be just enough to procure a site for a Government Printing Office with- out wasting any more time over what would to a business house be no trouble at all. —_ + += Tonight a number of citizens who believe im the best kind of good government pro- pose to organize a local civil service reform league, the object of which is mainly to bring about a most desirable condition of founding and development of this city has | fairs, viz, the removal of all District ap- been evident to all who have sought infor- | mation on that line, and it is to prevent a} continuation of the conditions complained of that the newly organized society has come into being. Past carelessness may to some extent be remedied, for, as Dr. Toner, presi- dent of the society, remarked in his address, “our annals, such as they are, deserve to be assembled, verified and thoroughly can- vassed and calendered, so as to be preserved and made useful.” He reasonably assumed that this was proper work to be done or Promoted by the Historical Society and he reasonably assumed that every member would, in his own way, use his best efforts to discqver original papers and documents of historical value, local or national, and ebtain gifts of this character, whenever practicable, to the society. In this task, which, it will be seen, is one of great mag- nitude, much assistance may be rendered by those, who, knowing of the existence of rec- rds heretofore in comparative concealment, make known their whereabouts to the so- elety. With popular interest aroused as it should be there ought to be only a little dif- ficulty in establishing the documentary col- lection for which the society appeals to the general public. The society's plans were discussed at con- siderable length by President Toner and Vice President Spofford, in admirable intro- ductory addresses. In Dr. Toner’s remarks, printed elsewhere in The Star, it is truth- fully stated that this city is the home “of @ very large number of persons possessing the true historic spirit, and quite a number have expressed their willingness to co-oper- ate in the work this day inaugurated by the Columbia Historical Society.” The outlook for the success of the organization is there- fore encouraging, and with the announce- ment of its enthusiastic commencement will doubtless come access of membership and general interest. The society has evidently | started with its face in the right direction and with a proper appreSiation of the diffi- culties that lie across its path. Those who control its movements are fully conscious -of their responsibilities and have been blessed with experience which will render ex! ly improbable any waste of energy or divergence from the proper coursé Many of ahe states have similar organiza- tiens devoted to the preservation of purely local records. The local history of the fed- eral city is also national history, so that the aims of this organization are peculiarly comprehensive in their scope. The society deserves the warmest encouragement in its patriotic labors. —_—-++—___ There are vast possibilities for the of confirming nominees outlined by Mr. Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas in his ap- Plication to Secretary Smith for a commis- sion as recorder of deeds for the District of Cclumbia. It might be worth the while of the Senate to cease its wearying wrangle over tariff schedules and ponder upon the advisability of simplifying its system of executive sessions until it accords with the Taylor theory. The astute mind will at once comprehend that if Mr. Taylor’s hypothesis | politician. Let us have pointments from politics and the extension to that end of civil service rules. There never was any reason really worthy of con- sideration why a man's political beliefs should have anything to do with his admin- istrative or clerical fitness, and the absence of that reason is more conspicuous here than in any other city ‘n the country. Here we have no local politics, and here should the example be set for every other muni- cipality that’ suffers from bondage to the doctrine of spoils. Efficiency should be the only test; any other stan is unbusiness- ke and improper. The application of civil service principles to the conduct of our local affairs should not be made in a half-hearted fashion; the rules should extend to all branches of our local government, and there should be the smallest possible number of exemptions. Already is there evidence of the evils consequent lupoh’ thé injection of politics into the police department—where the authorities are urged to appoint this man because it will liquidate the political indebteJness of a Senator from Florida, or that man, because he controls seven hun- dred votes in South Carolina, and can there- fore be a considerable factor in the re-elec- tion of a Senator from that state. There are other such instances that could be pre- sented, and of all these the proposed league will doubtless, when it gets to work, take cognizance. Washington is a well-governed city, but it is still several per cent short of being municipally perfect. The reform pro- posed is unobjectionable, save to the ward orm. +o A physician of New England calls atten- tion to a serious danger to Washington in the Cexey movement from that region. He refers to the prevalence of smallpox over a considerable portion of New England, es- pecially in Massachusetts and Connecticut, from which states these straggling bands seem chiefly to come, and intimates that they are of the very class and are from the very localities that would be Ikely to bring this loathsome disease with them. No one who has watched these movements can doubt the force of this warning. The dan- ger comes from the west as well as from the north. There ought to be power some- where to arrest it before it strikes us, The proposition to give the Union Pacific railway a hundred years in which to pay its debts, considered in connection with numer- ous just and unsatisfied claims against the government, recalls forcibly the business maxim that an easy creditor is generally Poor pay. —_—+ +e _____ The fact that Emperor William conde- Scended to be a hero at a conflagration will give his enemies an excellent chance to de- clare that while he may not be much of a statesman he is a good hand at fire. ————++s—___ Liliuokalani can reflect that while her enemies might take her crown from her they cannot haul her name down from the newspapers. ——_+ ++ ____ New York’s determination to reform ‘were correct it would be perfectly possible for all unseemly disputes between the Sen~ ate and the President over unwelcome nom- inations, or between Senators of opposing dispositions, to be settled by extremely simple methods. According to the Kansas plan of government the executive clerk of the Senate Is the sole arbiter of the fate of nominees. When this important func- tionary grows weary of Senatorial delay he Will but need to say: “Let him be con- firmed,” and, lo! he will be confirmed. In fact, the next logical step would be the abolition of all executive sessions and the @mtrusting of the Senatorial duty of con- rmation to a single individual—an employe of the Senate. To be sure the plan has its drawbacks, for executive clerks are possibly prone to indulgencc in prejudices | and wily office-hunters are apt to be suc- cessful tempters. But consider the vast advantages of the scheme! No longer would the unfortunate recipient of Presidential Ronor be see-sawed for months between hope and fear; no longer would he hang Sre between a fat office and a farm in Kan- sas. The job would be done with neatness and dispatch. The executive clerk would consult his mind as to his predilections and would cast the die of fate accordingly. Or, perhaps, being an unbiased man, he couid decide the matter more speedily by the flip of a penny, thus giving the nominee cer- tainly even chances for his job. There is Ro avoidance of the force of Mr. Taylor’s Jogic that one man is far better as a con- firming agent than eighty-eight. nen, too, he costs less. The executive clerk gets $2,200 a year, while the present Senate costs the government $440,000, a difference in favor of Mr, Taylor's method of $437,800. it is a waste of high-priced labor to re- quire Senators to attend to such trivial de- tatis as the confirmation of Kansas poli- tictans. —_~eo—___. If the Wilson bill ts not to be passed until everybody is satisfied with it, its adoption will necessarily be coincident with the mil- Jennium. ——__ + e+ Senator Hill appears to contemplate the organization of an “I am a Democrat™ monopoly. ++. It was rather to be expected that during the House debate on a site fur a new Gov- arrment Printing Office building a proposi- tion would be made by one or perhaps two m«mbers looking to the occupation of some of the spacegwhich was so wisely set apart for the maintenance of the public health ‘and the beautifying of the city, and which is held in trust by the nation for uses that #re inconsistent with its surrender to occu- pation by piles of brick and mortar. Of Washington's many attractions none are mere conspicuous than its parks; they have aptly been termed “breathing places,” | and are unquestionably essential from the standpoint of the sanitarian. Yet, when- ever it becomes necessary for the govern. | ment to erect a new public building in its capital city, some sort of an effort—occa- siorally persistent—is made to cover the refreshing sod with building ma- terial and to pervert a healthfully attrac- | tive spot and to remove from it every | charm by piling upon it many stories of brick. Less economical economy than this! could not easily be imagined, for such a procedure carried to its logical end would add much to the city’s death-rate, and in the same or evep greater ratio, would detract | from the desirability of Washington as a | place of residence. Those who so clevecly planned the capital did ro more than fol- jow the dictat common sense when Shey provided that @ reasonable proportion } Coney Island shows that Dr. Parkhurst has not @ monopoly of intrepid morality. —__+ ++ SHOOTING STARS.
