An appropriation of half a million dollars is proposed in an item added in the Senate to the Treasury appro- .-priation bill to secure a site for the - “natlonal archives building in this city, for which recommendations have fre- . aquently been made. This is one of the .. several neglected public building items constituting an impressive list of rears in government equipment for which action has been asked ofter without result. The need of anarchives » building has been repeatedly made plain. Irreplaceable government rec sords are stored in many buildings in I'Yarylng degrees of near-fireproofing - and exposed to all kinds of risks. It is a matter of the greatest good luck that the government has not suffered an firreparable loss on this score. Not only should an archives build- ing be provided to take care of the his- ,toric documents that bear upon the business of the government, but it * should have accommodations for the accumulated files of less importance * which are not of current use. Every department and bureau building is now choked with these files, some of which are not referred to once a year. ‘With a suitably designed and equipped archives building these files could be removed and probably kept in more “‘orderly manner than at present. The * space they now occupy will be avail- ‘able for the working force. As a meas- ure of economy, therefore, the con- struction of a central records building . would be a good investment, as it “would add largely to the practicable space in the staff structures. Such a building should not be a mere warehouse, but should be of dignified design and substantial materfals. It should be centrally placed. A site has already been indicated, though not se lected, which bears a practicable re- lationship to all of the departmental buildings. An archives building should indeed be one of the notable govern- “ ment structures. If the papers of the “Public service are worth keeping at all they should be kept in a way to in- (luta the value that is put upon them. ‘Adoption of this item now pending in the Senate should be but the first of a. ‘series of steps for the earliest possible completion of this building on a proper scale of provision. —_——— Seeking Harmony. .. The republican senators will meet tomorrow to confer about the foreign war loans funding bill now ready for «consideration by the Senate. The democrats will oppose the measure as reported. This course should be pursued by the republicans in both .Senate and ‘House on every measure of imprtance they handle at gis session of Con- gress. That is to %ay, if possible all differences as to measures should be adjusted in the family circle before public discussion begins. Differences there must be. They in- here in both human and legislative mature. They make for good. They develop a subject, and show its full character and possibilities. But airing them in public under the Heat of debate when the time for final action has come i8 not “business,” but often makes for party embarrassment, and sometimes leads to party defeat at the polls. The minority always rejoices in ma- Jority divisions, and, when advised publicly of their nature and extent, maneuvers to profit by them. The size of the republican task, im- perfectly appraised when Congress met last spring, is now fully appre- clated. It is both big and difficult. And #0 much depends on how it is executed, steps, évery one, should be watched with extreme care. A misstep—a sin- _gle one—might prove disastrous. This war loan funding bill is but spne measure that will enter into a campaign which promises to put the republicans to their trumps. The democrats are well organized, and moving with confidence. —_——————— “= The question of fortifications in the Pacific has given international scope 1o the matter of bullding regulations. France has faith in her own inten- tions, but not much in human nature as a general proposition. ———————— Dublin Castle Changes Hands. A physical evidence of the changed order in Ireland was afforded yester- day, when Lord Fitzalan, the British viceroy, handed to Michael Collins the , keys of Dublin Castle. For 700 years those keys have been in the possession of British officials, and the castle was the tangible evidence of British au- thority and dominion. Its transfer to “jthe representatives of the Irish Free . State was therefore a ceremony of significance that will probably go far otoward convineing the Irish people of the new order of things. Only a few months ago the troops who were yesterday busy in prepara- tions for the departure of & British of- ficial from Dublin Castle were actively searching for the men who walked ~over the red carpet into its precincts. fin the past half year Ireland has gained through negotiation a degree of freedom that years of intrigue and 'Bghting, sniping and boycotting have Failed to secure. It may be that the ~bloodshed of the past few years was necessary to bring about a stats of things in which negotiation for & free state and its recognition by the Lon- don government could succesd. It is ¢ a situation. Whatever the influence of the operating factors, the fact re- mains that now Ireland is by British acknowledgment a free state on the same basis as Canada. The transfer yesterday at Dublin Castle to the rep- resentatives of the new Irish govern- ment marks the fact. For the present the more radical ele- ment, so loudly insistent upon rejec- tion of the London treaty by the dall eireann, is quiet. Beaten in the dall on the treaty, and beaten later in the elections for reorganization of the supreme councll of the Sinn Fein, the De Valera faction has seemingly ac- cepted the decision. It will be greatly to the advantage of Ireland if it will continue thus to accept and will co- operate in the organization of an ef- ficient dominion government at Dub- lin. Continued agitation can do no good for Treland. and may do much harm. In accepting the keys of the castle vesterday from Lord Fitzalan, Michael Colling referred to the ceremony as a “surrender.” This was, perhaps, not the most tactful way to express the ceremony, but probably no friction will be caused. The - fact remains that England is withdrawing her physical forces and giving Ireland full latitude for self-government, and at the same time full responsibility. | ——————— 1 The Art the Public Likes. The public taste has expressed itself emphatically In the matter of the paint- ings at the biennial exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the largest number of the approximately 10,000 voting visitors declaring for a painting by William M. Paxton, who was’ not one of the official prize winners. It so happens that a painting by this same artist was similarly given the popular award two years ago, which indicates that he paints the kind of pictures that the public likes. ‘Why is it that the public taste so seldom coincides with that of the pro- fessional taste? That is probably an unanswerable question. Art is a strange thing, almost a mystery. There are certain canons that the pub- lic recognizes and that artists as a rule observe. But lately during re- cent years these canons have been vio- lated ruthlessly by exponents of art, painters and sculptors, and the public has watched amazed at the freedom, the license tolerated by critics and connoisseurs. It is a wholesome sign, a decided encouragement, that in these public referendum votes no example of the radical school is favored. The people may be untrained in the matter of per- spective, but they do insist upon planes that are true, correct drawing and reasonable precision of color. Cubism was laughed at as a freek, as | perhaps a symptom of artistic in- sanity. All the succeeding schools of freak painting have been in the same i way rejected and ridiculed. Those who are specially “cultured” in the arts look with some pity upon this spec- tacle of rejection of that which does not look true. ‘“Goguinism” has its ‘vogue still, and its devotees are enthu- siastic over the abnormal proportions of the human figure and the scream- ing combinations of light and shade and tone that mark the work of the eccentric Frenchman. It is thus an agreeable token of public sanity and balance that, al- though these various *schools” and styles rise successively and fade away, the art of truth, the art of true draw- ing and true coloring and true com- position remains. If there were truth in these various achools they would endure. The fact that they pass and are succeeded by new schools of ec- centrics, new sorts of impressionists, new degrees of radicalism, is satisfac- tory evidence that they are wrong and that the art that the public, unedu- cated though it is, likes is the true art. ——— In Europe a resignation for political office does not necessarily imply a re- tirement from public activity. It indi- cates more often that a fresh start has been taken. —————— ‘Will Hays will command more than $150,000 & year if he can stampede people to the films as successfully as he sent them to the polls. —————————— Many Irishmen are happler now than ever before, and the world hopes they will succeed in making their hap- piness unanimous. ——— ‘Whatever else may happen, Muscle Shoals, like the Island of Yap, will en- joy the satisfaction of having been made famous. ——— e “Make the Child Fit for School.” Under the auspices of the Child Wel- fare Soclety there is In progress here @ six-weeks health campaign to make the child of pre-school age “fit for achool.” The campaign, which has the indorsement of health officials, will last until February 25. The principal object is to determine by the record of height and weight of as many children as possible the de- gree of malnutrition. Most mothers weigh their babies. They take special care to put the little one on the scales day after day, in order to check up on its growth. z But after the child has shown that it is growing according to the accept- ed standards the average mother ceases to weigh the child after it is two years old. From then on it be- gins to eat more or less like the rest of the family, in to0 many cases being allowed to have coffee and tea before 1t veaches the age of six. By careful weighing of the child at any age during the pre-school years— from two to six years old—it is pos- sible to compare its weight with gen- erally accepted standards, and seek out the conditions, whether dietetic or otherwiss, which cause malnutrition. Because & child varies a few pounds one way or the other from the so- called standard is no cause for alarm. But if its weight is much below or above the parent and physician should know about it. Full cooperation of parents, there- fore, is a factor of prime Importance n the present campaign. The staff of nurses of the Child Welfare Society is ready to weigh children at the various centers of the society from 11 o'clock each day to moon. Any mother, for that matter, may conduct her own or at any piace avaliable, The chart, | i impossible to measure causes in such jof standard weights according to helght of children is available In many books easily secured at the Public Lt brary. “Make the child it for school” before it goes io schoo) and during school life it will be saved much em- barrassment and fll health. —_——— On the Warpath. The Tiger is just in time. The Paristan jungle is in turmoll, and he is there, with all four claws unpared. Was it a coincidence, or a clever cal- culation on the Tiger's part? He knows his environment like a book— by heart. He may have had a hunch —an intuitive warning of what was| Whether the voteless delegate bill is before action the comstitutional amendment, | coming. Anyhow, a French cabinet has fal- len just as M. Clemenceau reappears on the scene. He knows his way around at such a time and in such circumstances. He has helped set up and helped pull down many cabinets. M. Clemenceau is fivst of all a jour- nalist. He has dipped into literature, and measurably into statesmanship. He has some books to his credit, and his work as one of the war premiers was striking and successful. But the man's best powers have been shown when pen in hand as a daily cbmmentator on politics he has held the attention of the French pub- lic to current affairs respecting the state and statesmen. He has taken his pen in hand again, and is telling his old friends that he is well and hopes they are enjoying the same blessing. Has he much of the old fire left? We expect him to show all that remuins. He has many grievances and a vigorous octogenarian full of grievances may make himself an ex- tremely ugly customer. M. Clemen ceau’s newspaper ought to sell well theeo days. Republicans, Democrats and 1822. If the republicans are uneasy at all the feeling relates to the next House. | Although with an enormous majority in the present House, they have been stumbling along there in a surprising way, and bringing down upon their heads a good deal of sharp criticism. 1f the democrats are confident at all, the feeling relates to the next: House. Although at a great disadvan- tage in the present House, they are noting with much satisfaction the plight of the mafjority there, and hop ing it may continue. The next Senate looks safe for the epublicans, although such a sweeping ‘hange of sentiment as would give the Jouse to the democrats might throw she Senate in for good measure. A result that brought in a demo- cratic House, leaving the republicans in control of the Senate and the White House, would produce a deadlock the effect of which on the campaign of 1924 could not easily be calculated There is urgent need now of legisla tion and will be at the first session of, the next Congress. But if one house of that body faces in one direction and the other house in the opposite direc- tion, with both parties playing for advantage In the presidential election then opening, the chances of legisla- tion of a definite character on any subject of importance will be slim. It is going to be a year of years— 923. Both parties are already busy} #ith their plans, and neither will lack e necessary means for making a thorough canvass of the country. Campaigning comes high nowadays. but partisanship runs high, and the people are willing to pay the price. } The mayor of Tiffin, Ohio, who opened shops on his own aceount to dring the price of bread down to:a nickel a loaf, is not only e philan- thropist, but a great practical help to his campaign managers.

Some provision of local legisla- tive power should be enacted upon which as & basis the courts may be caused to Teview and modify.the court decisions limiting the powers that can constitutionally be delegated by Con- gress to a local legislature. . These cases are Van Ryswick ve. Roach (MacA. and M. 171) and Stoutenburgh vs. Hennick (29 U. S. 141, 14D). 3.

If this amendment were enacted the campaign for na- tional representation would be sub- stantially benefited. The constitutional amendment should be pushed in advance of the delegate bill in order to put the District in any melorum respect even on a territorial asis. Constitutional Amendment First. The natural order of legislation con- cerning national representation for the District is: 1. Passage of amendment. 2. Census or registration to deter- mine the strength of the District's voting constituency. 3. Territorial form of government, the constitutional so far as the constitution permits, or representation admission to voting in Congress and the electoral col- lege by a majority vote of Congress in accordance with the power given to Congress by the amendment. The kind of District vo! ing constituency disclosed by the cen- sus or registration will whether Congress, the constitutional postpone exercise of its power to.give voting national representation: and will institute a preliminary approximate territorial government or will at once exercise the power given by the con- stitutional amendment and give to the people of the District voting repre- sentation in Congress and the elec- toral college. The natural order of procedure is thus first to secure the constitutiona! amendment. which merely empowe! Congress to give the District nationa representation when in the opinion of Congress it_is fitted for such repre- sentation.

It merely em- powers Congress to grant the District this representation when in its judg- ment the District is fitted for such representation. On the other hand, a vote against our amendment declares not only that the District is mot now fitted for ma- tional representation, but that 1t will mever be thus fitted, though its re- sources multiply and its population grows into the millions. A vote against our amendment is a denial even of the poasibility of District rep- resentation by majority vote of Con- gress, a possibility which Hawall and Alaska now posaess.
