For purposes of comparison, in re- spact to the estimates for the main- tenance of the District of Columbia during the next fiscal year, it is neces- sary to consider first the Commission- ors’ estimates and then the revision made in them by the budget bureau. The Commissioners submitted esti- mates totaling $27,637,723.75. The budget bureau reduced them to $24.- 807,876.76, exclusive of the water de- partment, which is self-sustaining. This made a reduction of $3,030,047° But this sum does not represent the full total of proposed appropriations for District maintenance. For the Commissioners’ estimates did not in- clude the items carried in other than the District appropriation bill, total- ing roughly $2,000,000, and which the budget bureau, true to the prin- . eiple of consolidation which is the ‘Dasis of the budget system, now pre- : sents as the part of the cost of the ! District and estimates therefor ac- ' cordingly. The grand total of the Dis- , trict estimates, including these other- bill items and the water department, is $27,195,476. The estimates are liberal in their , provigions along three lines of es- i pecially important provision—schools, ‘~water supply and streets. If Congress will adopt this budget as it stands and not attempt to make { further heavy reductions it will go far toward putting the District in shape for meeting its future needs. The National Capital municipality is . heavily in arrears in respect to school | equipment, street improvements and water supply. Its salary scale is low. Every department of the wunlicipality . s cramped for lack of funds and or- ganization. Every dollar of the $27.- 195,476.75 is needed to maintain the National Capital in view of the fact that for many years it has been under- pravisioned, its streets have been neg- lected, its schools have not been kept up to the point of population increase ' and its water supply has become in- adequate for a community of nearly ' half a million. “Keep Her Smiling!” This is from The Btar’s story of the jpening of the regular session of Con- The House was in particularly jovial ood, many of the members having "Peen ‘grouped in the chamber chat- ting and exchanging stories before the gavel fell. When the clerk from the Senate announced to the House that the Senate “is ready to proceed to business” there was an audible suggestion “about time,” and then the en House burst into applause and the members stood and cheered. Good humor has always been in evi- dence in both the opening and the closing session scenes in the House. Particularly the closing scenes. No matter how long the session had been, - or how turbulent the'contests over one thing or another, the center aisle of the chamber would disappear on the % last day when adjournment hour ap- proached and members mingle only ‘upon personal terms. Stories would be exchanged. Songs—ditties of both a comic and e sentimental character— woyld be sung. Good-byes like this ‘would be spoken by men of opposite parties: “Good luck, but I hope we ‘ -smash you at the polls!” Those are described in the familidr phrase, “the good old days.” Let us all rejoice that the spirit has survived ‘the war; that now that “the tumult and the shouting” incident to war have passed men can once more do ‘business in the old way. “Keep her smiling!” is the adjura- tion of a current play. Why not keep Miss Columbia smiling? She is a very fine young woman, and will be bene- fited by seeing those interested in her ‘welfare and busy in her service going about their work In & spirit of com- radeship and good-will. At present the candid diplomat is more in popular demand than the. shrewd politician. In order to malil early it is neces- sary to shop early. 01d Friends Passing. In the Navy's advertisement of ves- sels for sale one reads the names of some famous and familiar ships, and ships that once called Washington their home. The advertisement reads that the ships are to be sold “as hulks for salvage,” though four of them, the cruiser Brooklyn, built in 1895; cruiser Columbia, built in 1892; destroyer Smith, built in 1909, and the fishboat Albert Brown, built in 1897, are first to be offered for sale “for con- version to commercial uses,” but if not sold for that purpose will be of- fered at a later date for sale “‘as hulks for salvage.” Three of the “hulks” were ships we looked dn with pride as being “the last word” in naval architecture and fight- ing afclency. They are the battleship Maine, bullt in 1901; battleship Mis- souri, built in 1901, and ‘battleship ‘Wisconsin, built in 1898. Another of the “hullgs” is the cruiser Memphis, built in 1903, 504 feet long, 73 feet @-beam, 15,712 tons displacement and now a wreck at Santo Domingo. Four of the “hulks” are monitors, or were mopitors, the once mighty Puritan, 6,000-plus tons displacement, built in 1882; the Ozark, built in 1900; the Tonopah, built in 1900, and the Mian- tonomoh. < “The Miantonomoh is the oldest of the monitors offered, having been bullt tn 1876 and converted not long 240 into o target for great gun and tairplane fire. There is a sentimental {attachment between Washington and!in good government for the town. the old Miantonomoh. For years,|Hence he should improve every op- back in the late 70s and the 80s, she lay in the Eastern branch off the navy yard. She was known to thou- sands of Washington people as an.ob- Ject of interest. She had a hard name, and many Bast Washington boys when they learned to pronounce and spell it had achieved a triumph in scholarship. Near the Miantonomoh was the older and more celebrated monitor Montauk. That was in the days when the black-hull sidewheeler Tallapoosa was @ frequent visitor at the navy yard and served as the presidential yacht and “junket’” ship before the coming of the white-hulled propelter Dolphin. The Miantonomoh now lies at Norfolk, and many Wash- ingtonians will be touched with a little thought of sadness on hearing that the old craft is to be reduced to junk. One of the ships to be broken up is the wooden sailing vessel Oriole. Her launch name, or champagne name, was Dale. She was built in 1839, and, after seeing all the seas and most of the ports of the world and doing honor in several wars to the flag she flew, was retired from sea duty and was laid up at our navy yard. Here she spent. many quiet years iIn the autumn of her life as a receiving ship. Archaic Railroading. | A train of wooden coaches on & sid- ilns of a single-track rallway, waiting for another train to pass! A’ passing train, mistaken for the right one, the standing train pulling out upon the “main” track, a collision! Twenty-one dead, perhaps more, and many in- jured! Many of the victims burned to death in the blazing cars fired in the, wreck! Could anything be more atrociously significant of backward railroad con- ditions? This is the sort of thing that used to happen frequently thirty and more years ago, when railroading was even at that late date comparatively crude. But now the single-track road is regarded as an anachronism, as a dangerous relic. Wooden cars are considered as fit only for the junk pile. matic stops that physically prevent one train getting in the path of an- other. In this case it is believed the en- gineer mistook the passing train for the one for which he was waiting. Just how it could happen that he would thus confuse the schedule is unex- plained. This is a busy road, but every train crew is supposed to know just what is under way. Somebody blundered in giving orders, or the en- gineer blundered in making a wrong count of trains. This is a case Where the automatic stop would have pre- vented disaster. The engineer could not have pulled out on the main line or the train he met could not have gotten into that stretch against such an installation. But at the base of it all is the single- track road in busy territory. It costs money to double-track. It costs money to put in automatlc stops. But it costs more money to smash trains and Kill people by the score. And whatever the |(‘us! of improvements, the question of public safety is paramount. —_———————— Getting Better Acquainted. Admiral Beatty expects to pay America another visit soon. M. Briand, who saw so little of the coun- try, expressed upon leaving the hope of being able to feturn and see more {of us. Marshal Foch and Gen. Diaz, who are swinging round a wide circle, are likely to form a resolution to re- peat, and take a look under circum- stances less exciting than those in- spired by their first visit. Perhaps if Mr. Lloyd George comes over he will | decide upon a second visit. One will hardly suffice. The generally expressed desire is for a closer communion among the na- tions. Could this be better promoted than by acquiring a better knowledge of one another from personal contact? With men of light and leading from England, France, Italy, Belgium and other countries visiting America and taking a look close up, and Americans of light and leading visiting those countries for a similar purpose, would not a greatly improved state of feeling be established? This improved feeling based upon personal acquaintance and fellowship would be of greater value than signed alliances. Travel, of course, is not new. But travel of this kind, by men of conse- quence for a purpose, and that pur- | pose thé promotion of cordial relations between nations, would be certain to accomplish much for which every thoughtful and well disposed person sincerely longs. —_—————— In accordance with the spirit of diplomatic courtesy which now pre- vails, a large amount of very interest. ing news has politely refrained from | obtruding itself in print in a manner | which might divert attention from the conferefce. —_———————— The ex-kaiser is reported to have given up cutting wood by hand and to have purchased a sawmill.

A news not Vice President Coolidge left yester- day for his home at Northampton, participate in municipal elections. His absence will prevent his attendance today at the joint ses- sion of Congress for delivery of Presi- dent Harding’s address, but it was said that the President has been con- sulted and given his approval of Mr. Coolidge’s departure. Mr. Coolidge could not have set a better example. True, the election is of a municipal character, and he is Vice President of the United States, occupied with matters of great na- tional moment. It so happens, too, that his absence from town falls on a day set apart for a function of im- portahce. on Capitol Hill. Still, Mr. Coolidge made the right decision. Nogthampton is his home, dnd’as a citizen he is deeply interested 5 Signal systems that leave prac- tically everything to the engineers are reckoned as unsafe at the best, and as certain to be replaced soon by auto- portunity to express himself at.the polle on that subject. A phrase that reflects severely on our citizenship and eppears too often in election reports is this: “A lght vote was cast.”” A light vote should never be cast. A heavy vote is always due. Theve should be no “off years.”” ‘Every con- test for office, from a mayoralty to the presidency of the United States; should bring every person with the right to vote to the -polls. . Those voters who forget election day, or ignore it for some engagement of a private character, do themselv no credit, but public inte ts harm. They are in duty bound to go to the polls and plump for candidates they think are the best qualified for public trust, and for policies they think of most value to the public. Neglecting suffrage ought to operate as a for- Teiture of suffrage. More Judges and Attorneys! District Attorney * Gordon states that the force of his assistants at the courthouse must be increased by three or four in order to keep up with the work. There have been no additions to the district attorney's staff for ten years, and in that perlod business has more than doubled. Obviously the work of the courts is hampered by the lack of force in the district attorney’s office, and this condition adds to the congestion caused by the insufficient number of judges. Legislation will probably be required to provide the additional assistants in the district attorney’s office, and it woul seem to be most opportune when this effort is made, presumably upon the initiative of the Attorney General, to propose once again the increase of the local Supreme Court that is so urgently required. 3 It there are not enough judges to care for the business that the now in- adequate force of the prosecuting at- torney prepares, there are surely not enough to handle the business that would be presented by an increased staff. It is true that with a larger staff the district attorney's work could be more thoroughly and care- tully done. But the public interest at this time dcmands speed, facility in the disposal of cmses, reduction of congestion_and an approach to a cur- rent maintenance of the work. This can only be done by increasing the number of judges. The District Supreme Court has re- mained the same size for & much longer time than has the district at- torney’s office. While it has stoed at six judges its work has more than quadrupled. This fact is recognized in Congress, but for one reason and’ another, sometimes economical, some- times political, it has been impossible to obtain the necessary legislation for court increase. Now there is no politi- cal consideration conceivable. The party in control of the legislative branch is also in control of the execu- tive, and there is no reason why a re- publican Congress should not provide new judicial positions to be filled by appointments by a republican Presi- dent. In any caseythe public welfare suffers for lack of judges, and there is danger in continued postponement on any ground. German {ndustry is going forward in spite of the fact that a large num- ber of actiVe and able-bodied men have apparently withdrawn from fiseful employment to take up counterfeiting. ————t———————— The fact that world problems wait to be solved does not prevent the lit- tle old streetcleaning problem from asserting itself every time there is a heavy snowfall. —————— There was a time when many peo- ple did not consider it necessary to read a President’s message clear through.

It may remain for Viviani to score & lik triumph, for he is not without gr restige among hi 'ul speaker. Ther difterence in_ their m f pre- senting a subject: With scarcely no prelude, Viviani plunges vigoropsly into the main arguments, seeking to drive them home in caveman fashlon. The premier begins in soft, even tones, and appagently seeks to lull hts hearers into a state of peaceful- ness and acqulescence before reach- ing the fireworks stage. - As far as the arms and far eastern meeting goes. Viviani posseskes this advantage over the premier: He has visits to the 'United States and Is better acquainted with and their views on world He came to America first with Mar. shal Joffre in 1917 to convey the ap- Frechllon of France to this repub- ic for having entered the war on the side of the allles. He addressed Congress and delivered more than thirty speeches in twelve cities. Atfer a long visit to South America, he returned to New York in 1921 to bring the French government's con- gratulations to President rding upon his elevation to the highest ofv fice within the gift of the people. It was the Viviani ministry which bore the first brunt of the war and aesumed the responsibility of pre- paring a national defense under prob- ably the most tragical circumstances that were ever faced by France. Prior to the Viviani had served his country as head of the labor de- partment, & pont areated exprossly for him. He Was minister of justice, in 1613, in the Doumer cabinet, and in June, 1914, he became tP?; president of the council. A month fater he ac- companied President Poincaire on a visit to the Russian court. Returning from Petrograd, the nremicr's ship called at Copenhagen, 1y 25. and it was on this day that he heard of the ultimatum sent to Serbia. He met the situation with :he vigor and directness of .action for which he is beloved by the French. Before he had reached his ative soil he had sent his instru ons by wireless to the French am assadors abroad, thus sétting in m. tion the diplomatic action which, u timately, was to group the allies to- gether, first, in an effort to avert war, and, second, to drive back the vaders. Up to the last moment his policy was decldedly for peace. ‘When the end of July came the premier, hoping for peace still, was ordering French troops to withdraw order that no pretext might be fur- nished for German aggression. After the battle of Charlerof he re- modeled his cabinet so that it brought together representatives of all th parties of France. In the new min istry, which had been set up by Au- gust 28, he called together with Mil- lerand, Briand, Delcasses and Ribot such socialist leaders as Thomas and Guesde et Sembi forces of the n| us grouped together, France stiffened and stopped the German onslaught on the Marne. % In the spring of 1915 it was again Viviani_who conducted the megotia tions which resulted in Italy enter- ing the war.

The unanimous agreement “in prin- ciple” among the nations of the Washington conference to China’s plea for independence from foreign domination, as embodled in the four resoluti®ns of Mr. Root, has been fol- lowed by a certain amount of re- flection in editorial columns as to what this agreement may develop in practice. To determine this, “we shall have to await further explana- tions,” thinks the Vancouver (B. C.) Province, since the ‘“conversations leading to this report were not made public, but if it is agreed that China i to have full political and adminis- trative authority the convention need not trouble itself about the open door in China. That nation will have the same right over her doorways as Britain or the United States. The gates will be hers to open and hers to_close.” ‘Whether China is qualified to be her own doorkeeper, however, is an open question in much of the comment. The Canton (Ohio) News (democratic) thinks the “concessions” of the con- ference “may be somewhat remote in their application” because, to quote the Ithaca (N. Y.) Journal-News (in- dependent), “only a strong gover ment can cope with the situation and all that has befallen China of foreign domination has been “be China was too weak to resist, the opinion of the Wilkes-Barre Rec- ord (republican). .The San Amtonio Light (independent) notes that China admits the “possibility “that she “may be unable, at present, to ad- minister her own government affairs properly, but she applies to the con- ference for exact specifications of her obligations, so that she may .g0 about the task of discharging them.” However, “in order that this policy may be put in effect,” says the Port- land Oregonian (independent repul lican), “the whole network of spheres, concessions and privileges held by other nations should be swept away. but “until orderly government is e: tablished, independence and restored integrity would be of small value, for foreign enterprise and capital would shun the country. - That thkis consideration would not be of paramount importance to China, once foreign restrictions were lifted from her commerce, is implied by the Los Angeles Times (independent re- publican), which states that “Chinese merchants have shown the ability to [ U] drive out competition wherever they found it.” “As matters stand,” ob- serves the San Antonio Express (in- dependent- democratic), “the republic can make no reciprocity treaty with any nation,” which i ‘not only an injustice to China, but a disadvantage to other countries.” F' a “period of nearly eighty year: says the Topeka Capital (republican), “China hi been under an enforced agree- ment not to levy tariff duties in ex- cess of 6 per cent,” and “up to this time,” says the Fort Wayne Journal- Gazette (democratic), “the only thing that has been - definitely l‘rlnteg| China is that she shall be permitte by the United States, England, France, Italy and Japan to inCrease her tariff duties from 5 to 12 per cent.” = Thus having prevented China from raising’ “the revenue necessary to maintain the government,” this paper continues, they “force loans upon- her that other nations would not accept.” “It was startling to learn, as many persons did for ‘he first time,’ says the Butte Miner (democratic), “that these foreign governments had assumed' to enforce upon’ China a provision . that that try could not impose a tariff duty exceeding 5 per cent upon an: kind of food imported by.the nese,” and “this was done,” explains the Sfoux City Tribune (independent), “to_ p’rotecv. business:ten of the pow- ers . from. competition with Chinese labor and enterprise” ‘in their dif- ferent “spheres of influence,” where- in the “foreign country holding it is guaranteed for ninety-ninety or more freedom from all competitiOh within specified boundaries. with all other nations, including the resident therein,” with the result thet “China. soon broke out with & snmllpox of such monopolies.” ;But in the matter of customs con- trol, the Reno Gasette (republican) feels that it “is quite natural” that there “should be some exasperation 't of the del: tansd Briti “g:- Chinese Chir | wheat stuck to their fingers. * * * The Chinese spell duplicity at every step. *" s o Recently the Chinese govern- ment turned down an offer of a loan of $16,000,000 from the consortium of which the United States is a- mem- ber,” with which. money “they could readily have paid their debts to the outside world.” The Springfleld (Ohio) News (demo- cratic) states that “the world under- stands China needs aid, but it knows, too, that China stubbornly refuses the kind of help most necessary in her cage,” while the San Francisco Chroni- cle (independent) believes that it would be difficult, and perhaps im- possible, for any central government {to firmly establish jtself without out- |side assistance.” The Manchester Union (independent republican) thinks | that in the matter of courts “there must be some safeguard for foreign- e and that it will be *some time before the principles so easily set forth and cheerfully acceded to in Washington can be fully applied in practice,” though the New York Tribune (republican) sees the con- ference “moving steadily in the di- rection of an emancipated China* as evidenced by its allowing her “t manager her own postal system. Foreign Plays on Broadway. Of thirty-five plays enumerated ia the Evening Post list of current at- tractions six hail from London, flve from Paris, one from Hungary. The rest are of domestic manufacture. Measured in tonnage, or merit, this 23-6-5-1 ratio does not hold. Th - vantage is much stronger on the side of the theatrical shipyards abroad.
