The District of Columbia, numbed and anguished by the tragedy which descended upon it Saturday night, to- day mourns the loss of its sons and daughters. Words are feele things at best, and the words whereby to ex- press the grief of the community for its dead, its pity for its stricken and ‘wounded, may not be found. Yet those who have suffered the irreparable loss of one well loved, and those who ‘watch ‘with suffering well nigh unendurable at the side of one in agony will know that the community, sorrowing in their sorrow, stands silent at their shoulders. Circumstances combined to render the catastrophe the most appalling with which the National Capital has ever been visited. The Knickerbocker, the fashionable community picture house of the Mount Pleasant district, was readily accessible to many who would otherwise not have ventured forth in the blizzard which swept the city upon Saturday night. The hour of the disaster was one which found the theater more crowded than at any cther of the day. There was no warn- ing of the impending horror. Dark- ness and the heavy snowfall served to hamper the work of rescue, carried forward with unfaltering heroism. The workings of fate in the making of the tragedy should not. however, be permitted to detract attention from the stern fact that it would never have occurred save for some ghastly blunder or ghastlier carelessness on the part of an architect, a constructor ar a build- ing inspector. Inquiry into the plans efforts to secure an increase, has been forced for several years to operate on an appropriation of $5,000. Out-of this appropriation it has paid all its run- ning expenses and the salaries of its two employes, who have had to en- force a law affecting over 20,000 wom- en and minors. The members of the board itself serve without pay. In this year’s estimate for the ex- penses of the board the District Com- missioners, aware of the necessity for economy in governmental expendi- tures, determined not to press for a much-needed increase in this appro- priation and submitted the sum of $5,000 as sufficient for carrying for- ward the work of the board. In the offices of the budget bureau that figure ‘was slashed to $3,300. The House com- mittee on appropriations, apparently aware of the impossibility of efficient- ly administering the minimum wage law with such a sum, raiged the ap- propriation to $4,000. The fact that $5,000 is in itself the minimum ex- penditure necéssary if an excellent law is to be efficiently enforced seems to have been held as of less conse- quence than that the estimates sub- mitted be cut to this or that extent. A thousand-ollar cut would mean the elimination of one of the two members of the staff of the board and consequent impairment of. ef- fective enforcement of the law, be- cause one worker must always be in the office to keep it open and for purposes® of certification. The law would still be in effect; all reputable business men would, of course, con- tinue to observe the established mini- mum wage rates, but they would suf- fer most unfairly from the competi- tion of less scrupulous persons who | would take advantage of the situation to violate the law. The theory that economy may be achieved through the simple expedient of lopping dollars from an appropria- tion here and there is a viclously false one. Tt is earnestly to be hoped that further consideration of the bill in question will result’ in’ a judicious weighing of the vital needs of the Na- tional Capital against the praiseworthy desire to cut expenditures. As regards the Minimum Wage Board's appropria- tion, either the law with the enforce- ment of which it is charged should be wiped from the statutes or & sum 'sumchnt to its satisfactory enforce- i ment should be provided. - An Emergency Call. The need for prompt and generous aid to the destitute of Washington in the present emergency is today -prop- erly called to the attention of the com- munity by those in charge of the prin- tors and representatives standing for re-election in personal charge of their oontests. The whips at both ends of the Capl- tol should not hesitate to use ‘their whips if necessary to keep their teams in line and doing team work. Fine Telephone Service. In this time of sorrow Washington remembers with gratefulness the heroic services given in the hour of stress by the employes of the Chesa- peake and Potomac Telephone Com- pany. In a blinding snewstorm, when many other public utilities were forced to suspend activities the telephones were operated. ‘Then came the terrible catastrophe. Like true heroines, in keeping with the best traditions of the company, the telephone *“girls” kept the lines open, answered the frenzied galls of the people, notified hospitals and doctors, and in every way possible helped in the work of rescue. Without the invaluable aid®given by the telephone service Saturday night and Sunday morning it is difficult to conceive what might have been the state of affairs in connection with the work of rescue at the Knickerbocker Theater. Doubtless many more lives would have been lost. The city will not soon forget what the telephone service did, through storm and trag- edy, and with the abnormal stmain upon the operators continuing, will acknowledge its appreciation by exer- cising patience and good nature over the phone. Legislation and Relief. Representative Fess is of opinion that too much is expeécted of legisla- tion, and declares that “legislation is not a cureall.” This is an interesting deliverance, for two reasons. ™ The first reason is that it comes from an experienced law-maker. Mr. Fess has been in Congress for some time, and has reached such distinction he is entering upon his third assign- ment as chairman of the republican congressional committee. He will di- rect his part¥’s effort to control the next House. The second reason is that criticism charges the present Congress with part responsibility for the country’s distresses. It is asserted that if the proper measures had been passed at the special session of Congress condi- tions of all kinds would today be very different from what they are. That Congress has been moving too slowly is generally conceded. But that if the right speed had been attained and all measures presented been and inspection of the Knickerbockerlciml District welfare agencies. The | .00 in the best possible shape busi- should be pushed with the utmost|urgency of the appeal should require!, ... \would now be hitting on all vigor and intensity. An investigation as to the safety of every theater in the District should be promptly under- taken, and those found to menace the security of their patrons in any way should be closed to the public. The National Capital, sensible of the fact that these steps may not restore its cead nor heal its maimed, demands in uncompromising terms that the ter- rible lesson of Saturday shall not fail to insure the absolute safety of the theaters of Washington for the future, that the menace of another equally ghastly catastrophe may be removed. Raise the Snow Blockade! ‘Washingtonians bave many duties before them, duties that are immediate and imperative. One of these is to raise the snow blockade and avert chance of disease and flood. Transport must be brought back to normal. Trade Geliveries must befset going. Walking must be made safe. The residence streets and the minor streets must be made passable. The gutters must be opened. The latter work is of par- ticular importance to reduce the dan- ger of damage and discomfort in case of rain or sudden thaw. Stalled auto- mobiles must be pulled out. It is a big program; but it must be carried out, and Washington people always meas- ure up to th responsibiliti The tremendous work is under way and much has been accomplished. no additional emphasis to insure a i whole-hearted response. The facts upon which that appeal is based are evident to one and all. Washington has just passed through the worst storm in the past twenty-two vears of its history. To most of the citizens of the National Capital that fact has in- volved but moderate inconvenience, which the novelty of the experience has served to temper. But to others— and though happily a minority their numbers run into the thousands—the blizzard has involved misery and suf- fering through unemployment, iu- evitable in the temporary industrial stoppage. Food is lacking in hundreds of Washington homes today—homes that are without heat for want of a dollar’s worth of fuel. The storm king, appearing to some as a jolly and i beneficent ruler, is to others only the grim and heartless oppressor under whose sway children hunger and shiver and weep and men and women ; lose courage and faith. These emergency conditions must in- evitably endure for some time to come. The aftermath of the storm will prove no less cruel than its experience. And to meet those conditions an emergency effort on the part of the community, acting through its capable agents, the local welfare agencies, is imperative. The budgets of the agencies are pre- pared to meet normal demands. The abnormal requirements of the moment, { cylinders and everybody established on Easy street cannot be maintained. Too much was in disorder to make full order again easy of accomplishment. Much is expected of Congress, and Congress can do much, but it has no cure-all. Much will remain for the peo- ple to do for themselves—so much that they should go about the task whole- heartedly and with the utmost courage. ——— No conference succeeds in disposing of business so thoroughly as to prevent confident expectations of interesting developments in the next conference. —_———————— Several nations are displaying a friendly and sympathetic interest in the question of what Uncle Sam is go- ing to do about their debts. ——————— If all the laws applying to horse races could be strictly enforced there would not be so many handbook mak- ers getting into trouble. ————— The arms parley lingered long enough to enable many delegates to see how suddenly and completely ‘Washington sometimes freezes up. ———— The good householder gets out with a shovel and pays his respects to the straight and narrgw path.

The car companies have earned the thanks of the city for their public spirit. They have done mag- nificently in meeting a situation that seemed hopeless. They kept the cars running as long as human effort could evail against the great snowstorm,|tjon, acknowledging the same through | where the snow, so relentless, is edd: and then sticking to their task set the cars in motion at the cgrliest moment that this could be done. The bus lines put up a valiant fight against an un- paralleled situation, and the com- runity thanks their management and personnel. The work of clearing sidewalks or cutting walkways through deep snow went on vesterday and last night, and this work is being extended today. Yet there is a long way to go in bringing ‘old Washington back to normal. The weather bureau forecasts cloudy and unsettled weather tomorrow with no change in temperature. The tempera- ture is to be considerably above freez- ing, and “cloudy and unsettied” may mean rain. That is the call to cut through the snow and clear the gut- ters that the sewers may perform their function. The District govern- ment will do its utmost with such funds as are available to meet the eémergency, and the citizens will co- operate. All hands to work! —————————— The police and firemen worked fear- lessly under trembling walls that threatened at any moment to crush down upon them. Nobody mentions the matter with surprise.

An excellent example of false-econ- omy-in the District appropriation bill (though the blame in this case does ‘not attach primarily to the House commit- tee) is afforded in the appropriation for the enforcement of the minimum wage law. On the score of economy that appropriation has been cut $1,000. The sum of one thousand dollars is an infinitesimal amount in the federal budget. It is a very small amount in the District budget. Yet it is a very large amount to ths < Minimum Wage Board, which, despite 4 Washingtonian capable of lending a helping hand to those temporarily rendered helpless.

District Political Impotency No' an Jo : Claflin Optical Incurable Condition. e (From the argument of Theodore W. Noyes before the Senate District committee, January 12, 1922.) I Another objection to our cqnstitu- tional amendment often urgedis that the fors “athers and Constitution mak- ers inte..ded by the exclusive legisla- tion prevision that the future resi- dents of the federal district should never participate In the national gov- ornment; that their political status is| unchangeable, their political im- potency forever incurable; that their | voteless un-American condition was voluntarily accepted by them more than a century ago, and is not, there- fore, through all eternity to became at any time a reasonable. subject of complaint. Are we forbidden by loyalty to the venerated forefathers to contemplate change in the political status of the District, resident' by the declaration that the Washingtonian’s condition was unalterably fixed at the begin- ning of the republic by the ten-miles- SGumse provision of the Constitution, and that what he was after the Mary- an.l cesesion he is now and ever shall e No. The century-old.surrender of | the American birthright of national representation was only for a time and not for all time. Doubtless the forefathers intended that Congress should for the nation control the Na- tional Capital forever, or as long as the republic endures; but clearly they had no intentlon of barring the Dis- trict forever from being a part of the nation politically and from par- ticipating in Congress and the na- tional government which is to exer- cise this exclusive control. * k¥ ok Exclusive control of the capital by Congregs is declared by the Constitu- tion, but there is no prohibition, direct or indirect, against future rep- resentation of the District in the Con- gress which is to exercise this ex- clusive control. ‘The Marylanders and the Virginians who were marooned in the District were too few in numbers to be repre- sented on.a state footing in Congress as a separate community, and having Tost their rights as Marylanders apd Virginians they were never for three- fourths of a century in a position of population and resources to ask con- sideration as a distinct community. But the Constitution does not prohibit such rgquest, or a favorable response to it, when the changing and changed conditions justify it. solid foundation for the charge that the District (when nearly uninhabit- ed) voluntarlly resigned its right of distinct representation and irrevoca- bly adopted the whole body of Con- gress (including its bitter enemies and its lukewarm friends) as the per- petual representatives of its interests. * ok %k - What was The intent of the framers of the Constitution as to the future political status of the people of Dis- trict? i 1. Very likely they had no distinct intent and gave no thought at all to provision concerning the future status of the imaginary population of a hypothetical city. 2. 1f they thought la: all on the subject they probably thought that in giving Congress power to admit new states and to dis- {China’s More or Less “Open Door.” By the infusion of a tonic'in the form of a definite program for “mak- | ing the open door in China a fact instead of a motto,” Secretary Hughes | has effectively stimulated the slug- - { gish pulse and low respiration of the far east conference just at the mo- ment when, according to the Brooklyn Eagle (indepéndent democratic), “ob- servers were predicting that little or nothing was to be accomplished in solving the great Chinese problem.” The “open door policy,” as MMr. Hughes defines it, is an effective agreement among nations prohibiting the establishment of “any special rights or privileges in China which would abridge the rights of the sub- jects or citizens of any friendly states.” To make that doctrine am actuality instead of a phrase the head of the American delegation to the conference made four proposals by which, the Hartford Times (demo- cratic) remarks, “he put the good faith of the powers to the test.” The conference adopted three of them, the net resuit, as the Waterbury (Conn.) Republican (republican) gives it, be- ing that the delegates “pledge the nations not to seek spheres of in- fluence or monopolies in China in the future, and provide for an interna- tional board of reference,.to which may be referred differences regard- ing future concessions and leases for ‘investigation and report.’ L The American policy gains “only a partial victory in the indorsement’ which it received from the confer- ence delegates, as_the Wheeling In- telligencer (republican) points out, because the important fourth article s “withdrawn” upon Japan's ob- jection. This article, which, in the inion of many American editors, is the only one that can make for jus- tice to China, was intended to com- mit the powers to a review of “exist- ing (‘ont?:ss(ons)' and for the sub- mission of any of them which ap- peared inconsistent with other con- cessions or with the principle of equal opportunity “to & board of ref- erence for the purpose of endeavor- ing to arrive at a satisfactory ad- Justment on equitable terms.” ° The Japanese interpretation of the open as advanced by Baron Shidehara ! oor, B ted by the New York Times A eobmdent | democratic), implies | il be oen to (rade U terms in those parts o Shina o ion have mot already been reserved for the exclusive profit and behoof of Japan and other powers. Thus “the past is secure,” the Phila- delphia Record (independent demo- cratic) says, for with the abandon- ment of any attempt at retroaction “the Hughes resolution will not re- ina.” -le:::igeh IV was withdrawn “with- out prejudice,” it is reported, and may later be considered, but it Is by Do means ,“so unimportant” as its abandonment without protests sug- s, the New York Globe (inde- dent) holds. Mr. .Hughes ac- knowledged that declarations essen- i tially the same as those contained in i his resolution were accepted in 1900 by all the powers, including Japan, and in the opinion of the Globe, it naturally follows “that the applica- tion of these principles to the con- cessions obtained between 1900 and 1922 would ot be unfair.” But the “that' the door W {would never bé otherwise than nes. ‘There is no| EDITORIAL DIGEST i power | s pose of and regulate territory belong- i ing to the United States they had|{ cared for any future population of the nation's city, just as by these pro- visions they had arranged for the political future of every other Amer- ' jcan_in the entire territorial area of the United States, present and. pross; pective. g * ok ox x | If they did not think at all about the future status of a bit of territory which might under the Constitution | be so small in size that its population ligible, it was because they were en- gaged in a desperate struggle to over- come deadly political dangers of the stienuous present and to get thirteen jealous, wrangling communities, that | were equal in the federation that had | broken down, to make the sacrifices ! that were necessary to Create the . American Union. At times the task yeemed almost hopeless. Consider, for | example, the conflict over the issue of | state equality of representation in the | Senate. This equality was denied by | the convention, and denied again; but | finally was granted as an indispensable | condition of securing adherence to the | Union of certain small states. It was | granted grudgingly by the vote of five | states against four, with one state divided. The convention emphasized the fact that this concession was wrung under a sort of duress by ce; tain small states by refusing to de- clare in the Constitution itself that new states should enter the Union on terms of equality with the old states. The debates in the convention show clearly that equality of Senate repre- sentition was granied under compul- sion only to-existing states, small and large, and that so far as the Constitu- tion is concerned full liberty of action ‘was reserved to Congress to negotiate the terms of entrance of new states into the Union. The Constitution- 'makers did not know from day to day whether there would be a Union. Dis- turbed and distracted over this vital prgblem, they may be forgiven.if they forgot to project themselves into the future in order to provide properly for the American rights in the remote future of a territory which had no minimum Hmit of area, and which might be so small as not to be able ever to secure more than the most meager and negligible of local popu- lations. * % % % The other alternative is that the Constitution-makers did think ofi the future rights of the possible cap- | | ital community, and believed that they had safeguarded these rights, it any ever developed, by the power given to Congress to dispose of and to regulate territory belonging to the Tnited States and the power to admit new states, coupled with the free hand given to Congress by the Constitution | | concerning the terms upon which new states might be admitted, enabling Congress, if it wished, to admit a new state with fts eonsent, which was not on equal terms with the other states, and which had not even equal repre- sentation in the Senate. The Consti- tution-makers may have thought that { these provisions of the Constitution were broad enough to enable Con- gress to do political equity to any fu- | ture population of the seal of govern- ment, by giving that population, when its numbers justified the step, national Tepresentation by constitutional amend- ment or in some other way not_in- consistent with the exclusive legila- tion power of Congress in respect to the federal district. . agree that Chinese have some rights.” The resolution which the: conference adopted not only binds the participating nations “once more not to seek monopolistic or discrim- inatory privileges in China." but, the New York Tribune (republican) em- phasizes, contains the provision “for | the first time” of *machinery to deal with imtractions of this self-denying | ordinance,” for by the creation of an international board of reference “to act as umpire on all complaints of infringements” the open door is pro- vided with a_ “doorkeeper,” and this the Tribune heralds as “a construc- tive achievement.” Sticking to His Guns. Secretary Mellon is standing pat on the bonus question. His letter to Representative Fordney indicates that | he proposes to fight it out on the line he has chosen, “if it takes all sum- mer,” and no matter what it involves. He warns Congress that the country now is overburdened With taxation, and he will not give the indorsement of the Treasury Department to any plan of new taxation involving rais- ing & minimum of $850,000,000 in two years. 1 Congress may take chances with ay sales tax or other bonus levy, but it} cannot well ignore the Treasury in- | sistence that the measure shall not1 be linked up with any plan of for- eign debt refunding, the proceeds of which, whenever they may be real- ized and whatever they may be, be- long to the liberty loan account, in! which millions of citizens are directly | interested. . Dedication of the interest on this! foreign debt, at any time, is de-| nounced by the Secretary of thel Treasury as “futile and unwise.” He | might also have added that it would be unfair and unjust. Such provision would be no less a levy on the tax- payvers of the United States than a sales tax or other form of taxation would be.
