Responsible busi ness men beyond the suspicion of deliberately seeking to commit fraud by selling as sound structures build ings which have been badly put to gether have felt for years the need for lightening the restrictions in sev- eral respects On the other hand it is a known fact that the old regula tions did not compel provision for HUfficient light and air That defect has been remedied by the last amend- ment to the manual but In the judg- ment of real estate men and con- tractors it had several parallels which have not been touched The ten men chosen by the Com- missioners represent all classes of citizens Interested in building opera tions and abundant knowledge of the problems which those regulations They are surely counting upon as they have a right confident- ly to expect the help of the efficient Building Inspector His long experi ence with the architects contractors banitary experts and business men of the communiy should help the committee greatly to adjust its sev- eral points of view and comform its several opinions Finally it Is to be noted that these ten citizens must serve without pay That most of them will accept the responsibility under such circum stances goes without saying Yet the service must be expected to take much time and try the patience severely This is the kind of labor for the general welfare which good citizens should be ready to perform- at all times Of it in the District there has been so far an abundant supply The old board of school trus tees and the present Board of Chari- ties are instances enough and it may- be expected with all confidence that this new board will take rank with them Crowning Capitol Hill Attention Is directed by the exer cises of yesterday afternoon to the noble and artistic group of buildings which will soon crown Capitol Hill In the course of the next few years four imposing structures generally related in design will face each other the great capitol the new Library and two Congressional office build ings It is not at all Impossible that in the future a fifth may be erected for the accommodation of the United States Supreme Court This group may well make Ameri- cans proud The Capitol Is one of the few American triumphs of Its general artistic quality is the key to the whole scheme of adorn- ment embodied in the park commis sion plans No other single struc ture in the country not even except- ing Independence Hall and Faneuil Hall Is the object of so much vener ation and affection from living American citizens It is the center of the Nations political lite How well It Is then that it Is not less notable In appearance than in asso- ciations The one rival of the Capitol in Washington is the Library of Con- gress Designed to be less conspicu- ous than the Capitol it is still one of the finest architectural adornments- of the whole landscape In its inter- ior it Is unsurpassed on this continent- or any other That it cost 30000 less than Ihe estimates and was finished ahead of time gives it extra interest hut it has an impressiveness which is entirely independent of those considerations Now tha President has the cornerstone for the third building It will benkeyed still lower than the Library but like it will yet be one of the notable structures in u city already remarkable for great public fmHdiags TVfelle an founding lt Is to have also specie i understand- ing

cusTroom and the dining room The exterior is to correspond to those of the Capitol and will be of white stone generally classic of restricted height and given interest by judicious ornament It will not be nearly so costly as the Capitol building of course but like the Library it will represent the expendi- ture of several millions The Senate office building Is to be identical in exterior design with that for which the President laid the cor nerstone yesterday Since the death of Senator Merrill little has been done toward the erection of the pro posed Supreme Court building- A fine vista Is suggested by the prospect of these five constructions With them finished or with only four of them finished the new railroad terminals the new Agricultural build- ing the new building for the National Museum the new District building and a new Department of Justice Washington will have advanced far toward that enviable position among the cities of the world which Ameri- cans would have their Capital occupy speedily Work beyond those build ings must still be planned Economy- to say nothing of national pride should move Congress to provide now the six new buildings so sorely need ed by the departments of the execu tive service But today It is enough to scan the prospect Involved in the structures already in course of buIld Roosevelts Plea for Sanity Since the Cannon dinner when President Roosevelt spoke in execu tive session as it were of the Man with the MuckRake there has all of misrepresentation con cerning his utterance Known something of a radical certainly the forefront of the reform which been felt In the commercial en deavors of the American people weljl as In the politics of city and nation the President has recent ly been painted as the new leader a reactionary movement Nothing further from the truth If proof needed of this It is found in masterly speech delivered yesterday The President devotes some atten tion to the muckraking The who never does anything else never thinks or speaks or writes save of his feats with the muckrake speedily becomes declares Mr Roosevelt not a help to society an Incitement to good but one the most potent forces for evil Lest however lie should be as advocating the suppression facts to which the public is he speaks in this vigorous fashion There are In the body politic eco- nomic and social many and grave evils and there is urgent necessity for sternest war upon There be relentless exposure of and upon every evil man whether or business man every evil practice whether in politics In business or social life I hall as a benefactor writer or speaker every man who on the platform or in book magazine or newspaper with merciless makes such attack provided that he In his turn remembers that attack Is of use only If It is truthful The attack inst be tnihful must not be overdrawn or ed It must be based entirely on the facts That hysterical sensational Ism Is the very poorest weap wherewith to fight for lasting right eousness all fairminded persons will agree In a word Roosevelts plea is for a sane criti- cism Jt Is Just and Irrefutable writers who will not subscribe to doctrine so effectively laid down would better turn to some other To writers of this class who out In hideous rage at capital who cringe before labor there I food for thought In the truism we can more and no less afforc to condone evil in the man of capita than evil In the man of no capital The President would have us remem ber that a failure of justice In th effort to bring some trust to book for his misdeeds would bi no worse than a failure of where a labor leader is implicated murder Exact justice for each Is al that can be asked But In considering the Man the MuckRake wa should not mis a new note which the Presiden sounds iff his great speech His atti- tude toward wealth Is stated his usual positiveness It Is important to this people t grapple with the problem connecte with the amassing of enormous fortune and the use of those fortunes corporate and individual In business We should discriminate In the sharpcs way between fortunes an fortunes illwon between those gainec as an Incident to performing great serv- Ices to the as a whole an those pained In evil fashion by jUt within the limits of mere law honesty Of course no amount of char- Ity in spending such fortunes In an way compensates for misconduct 1- 1making them AS a matter conviction and without pretending to discuss or the system I that we shall ultimately have to con sides the some such schem- as that of a progressive tax on all for tunes beyond a certain amount elthe given in life or devised or death to any Individual a tax s framed as to put it out of the power o the owner of one of these enormou fortunes to hand en more than a tain amount to any one Individual th tax rof course be imposed by national the State government Suck taxation should of course b aimed at the inheritance or zion in

critics would be so bold as to deny Baseball Once More Some of the stereotyped signs of spring have been a bit shy about coming forward this season it is good that whatever frost- bites may befall the Initial robin or however the crocuses may be dis couraged by wrong font tempera tures the baseball opening is no movable feast It cornea at a fixed time and It is a surer sign of spring than any other The calendar is utterly unworthy of credence es- pecially this year and Easter is only a generalization but the call to Play ball is a reliable sign of the times Washington lost the first game A good omen according to people who have hunches and such like We hope their hunch is right this time We have hoped so for lo these feundry seasons and it has ever been the hope that long de- ferred maketh the fan heartsick But it is Impossible for any run of luck even bad last ever Washington has been strug- gling for decades against a fate that seemed to have consigned her to a tallend situation She has been the citizens on foot in the baseball procession There is no reason for It either The town Is the best baseball community population con sidered In the country Its loyalty is beyond all discouragement its enthusiasm Is never to be trusted with weights on the safety valve and its faith In the home team is of the variety that moves mountains Some- day some day of days this old town Is going by some lucky chance to get a real winning team a pen nant aggregation and then there are going to be sensational doings- It Is not to say that anything of the sort is to happen this year Thats different Phophecy is danger ous except of the ex post facto sort and that would never be allowed by the constitutional lawyers who hold sway these days But still in the glad new hopefulness of the bud ding percentage table we venture to make just enough prediction to warrant us In case things go right in indulging later the pleasing re trospection that we told you so For some day somehow Washing ton Is going to get a team that will cut the ice Why not this year Why not Well Worth the Woney A disposition appears In quarters to at the work of tne United States Weather Bureau and to protest at the request of its chief Willis L Moore for an annual in- crease of 126000 for the bettering Its service There are those who as sert that the bureaus claim of 88 cent of correct prophecies is farcical- on the face of things and who de- mand proof in the shape of a tabu lated record of instances showing ex actly what the weather bureau has been able to accomplish in this direc- tion during a given period Few are the observers who are prepared to argue the question of the correctness of the weather forecasts- It Is easy when an unpredicted happens to ruin a new suit or a dream of a hat to denounce Moore and all his works and just as easy on the other hand to forget benefits received in the shape of correct prophecies So far as percentages are concerned the goosebone the ground hog or the weather sharp Slocums Cprner may have as ad- mirable a record for aught we know But one thing is ausolutely certain that the storm warnings sent out the Weather Bureau are of the great est value to shipping along Eastern coast There Is no question that millions of dollars worth property and hundreds of lives saved every year by the service given to navigators Even II- t the department does cost a millior- j and a half dollars a year we think of no branch of Governmenl- t service that is better worth it this feature alone TO AN OLD LOVER There Is silvery frost on your hair ol boy

so that her husband wants to stay In It I believe that she las found the way to Uianage him Exceptions to this na In other things only prove the rule Man loves to be managed nIl his pro tests to the contrary notwithstanding- but woe be unto the woman who Is fool ish enough to let him se the wheels go around The tactful woman will never allow him to suspect that he Is not doing exactly as he wishes In which case she generally has things fixed so that his way Is hers Womans spasmodic solicitude does not work with a man with an ounce of brains You know men do have some brains and cannot be expected to be absolutely blind and deaf It doesnt cost anything to keen a little kindly cere on tap Little things go further tcward maklnc or unmaking a happy home than ones There la a vast difference between the little attentions a wife gives the husband loves and the shamllke- aervico given and wlllnKly accepted in many cases You will never manage the man to whom you are servant Find Happy Medium Many a great strong fellow Is liter- ally ruled as a companion by a little delicate woman who started out to wait on him when first married This Is the natural Instinct of the loving womanly woman but she would better Hungarian Statesmen In fluenced Immigration Criticises Storer Marcus Braun has written a book The former Hungarian now a citizen of the United States has undertaken- to explain the troubles between himself and the government of Hungary and In doing so ho has made charges of cor ruption against the most distinguished- and prominent statesmen of that coun tryMr Braun charges that there Is d corrupt deal between the Hungarian government and the Cunard steamship line for the purpose of dlvertirfg as largely as possible the emigrants from Hungary to the ships of that line that the present Hungarian emigration law passed In 1903 was gotten up to throw sand In the eyes of those people Hungary who are honestly opposed to emigration while on the other hand It created a monopoly to fill the pockets of the TlszaFeJervary regime by which they are to be rewarded for their heavy contributions to the cam- paign funds of M TIsza and similar statesmen and who had to be recom- pensed In some way These remarkable charges are not all that Mr Braun makes He was sent to Hungary to Investigate the conduct of the emigration business there and he did 80 He charges that his report which laid bare the various alleged cor- rupt features concerning this business was not published for a year after he sent It to this Government but that nevertheless during that interval the government of Hungary was able to dis- cover its contents and knowing them proceeded to raise a great protest against his work In that country Whatever the inspiration it is mat- ter of common knowledge that there was a falling out between Mr Braun and the authorities In Hungary and that as a result of It he was recalled- to this country and later given a post in Canada Mr Brauns book Is a somewhat re- markable literary production Its pref- ace declares that the author served the Government during the time he was special Immigrant Inspector honestly and faithfully but that intolerable ob- stacles were thrown In his path by the Authorities and a pays his compliments to Bellamy Storer lately removed as to Aus triaHungary in these words The foregoing pages were In type and

upon this subject Sufficient unto the day the main evil thereof I Mr Storer who misled the late lamented Mr Hay and who has hoodwinked the American Government is recalled and removed and can do no further mischief Once again I say Let the dead past bury its dead Briefly Mr Braun in his book charges that Count Stephen Tisza tOt recently premier of Hungary has attempted to force all Hungarians who desire to emi- grate to use the Cunard steamers That company established a Hungarian American line via Flume Hungarian port without any bounty and In con- sideration of tills the Hungarian govern-

To Edit the Building Rules

Much good can come of the ap-

pointment by the District Commis-sioners of a committee of ten citizens to edit the present building reg-

ulations At present the manual Isobscure sections of it are mutuallycontradictory there Is much re-

dundancy in it and theof it by builders and owners is

in consequence decidedly vague Asimple readjustment of the regulations so as to eliminate their quali-

ties as bad use a newspaper alone prove agreat help to the whole community

Further than that as the EngineerCommissioner has said regulationsof this character should be thorough-ly reviewed every few years becauseof the change In the character of con-

struction material and for otherreasons There is Indeed no littledissatisfaction with the substance ofthe present rules Responsible business men beyond the suspicion ofdeliberately seeking to commit fraudby selling as sound structures buildings which have been badly put together have felt for years the needfor lightening the restrictions in sev-eral respects On the other hand itis a known fact that the old regulations did not compel provision forHUfficient light and air That defecthas been remedied by the last amend-ment to the manual but In the judg-ment of real estate men and con-tractors it had several parallelswhich have not been touched

The ten men chosen by the Com-missioners represent all classes ofcitizens Interested in building operations and abundant knowledge of theproblems which those regulations

They are surely countingupon as they have a right confident-ly to expect the help of the efficientBuilding Inspector His long experience with the architects contractorsbanitary experts and business menof the communiy should help thecommittee greatly to adjust its sev-

eral points of view and comform itsseveral opinions

Finally it Is to be noted thatthese ten citizens must serve withoutpay That most of them will acceptthe responsibility under such circumstances goes without saying Yet theservice must be expected to takemuch time and try the patienceseverely This is the kind of laborfor the general welfare which goodcitizens should be ready to perform-at all times Of it in the Districtthere has been so far an abundantsupply The old board of school trustees and the present Board of Chari-ties are instances enough and it may-be expected with all confidence thatthis new board will take rank withthem

Crowning Capitol Hill

Attention Is directed by the exercises of yesterday afternoon to thenoble and artistic group of buildingswhich will soon crown Capitol HillIn the course of the next few yearsfour imposing structures generallyrelated in design will face each other

the great capitol the new Libraryand two Congressional office buildings It is not at all Impossible thatin the future a fifth may be erectedfor the accommodation of the UnitedStates Supreme Court

This group may well make Ameri-cans proud The Capitol Is one of thefew American triumphs of

Its general artistic quality isthe key to the whole scheme of adorn-ment embodied in the park commission plans No other single structure in the country not even except-ing Independence Hall and FaneuilHall Is the object of so much veneration and affection from livingAmerican citizens It is the centerof the Nations political lite Howwell It Is then that it Is not lessnotable In appearance than in asso-ciations

The one rival of the Capitol inWashington is the Library of Con-gress Designed to be less conspicu-ous than the Capitol it is still oneof the finest architectural adornments-of the whole landscape In its inter-ior it Is unsurpassed on this continent-or any other That it cost 30000less than Ihe estimates and wasfinished ahead of time gives it extrainterest hut it has an impressivenesswhich is entirely independent of thoseconsiderations

Now tha President has thecornerstone for the third building

It will benkeyed still lower than theLibrary but like it will yet be oneof the notable structures in u cityalready remarkable for great publicfmHdiags TVfelle anfounding lt Is to have also specie

The Senate office building Is to beidentical in exterior design with thatfor which the President laid the cornerstone yesterday Since the deathof Senator Merrill little has beendone toward the erection of the proposed Supreme Court building-

A fine vista Is suggested by theprospect of these five constructionsWith them finished or with only fourof them finished the new railroadterminals the new Agricultural build-ing the new building for the NationalMuseum the new District buildingand a new Department of JusticeWashington will have advanced fartoward that enviable position amongthe cities of the world which Ameri-cans would have their Capital occupyspeedily Work beyond those buildings must still be planned Economy-to say nothing of national prideshould move Congress to provide nowthe six new buildings so sorely needed by the departments of the executive service But today It is enoughto scan the prospect Involved in thestructures already in course of buIld

Roosevelts Plea for Sanity

Since the Cannon dinner whenPresident Roosevelt spoke in executive session as it were of the Manwith the MuckRake there hasall of misrepresentation concerning his utterance Knownsomething of a radical certainlythe forefront of the reform whichbeen felt In the commercial endeavors of the American peopleweljl as In the politics of cityand nation the President has recently been painted as the new leadera reactionary movement Nothingfurther from the truth If proofneeded of this It is found inmasterly speech delivered yesterday

The President devotes some attention to the muckraking Thewho never does anything elsenever thinks or speaks or writessave of his feats with the muckrakespeedily becomes declares MrRoosevelt not a help to societyan Incitement to good but onethe most potent forces for evil Lesthowever lie should beas advocating the suppressionfacts to which the public ishe speaks in this vigorous fashion

There are In the body politic eco-nomic and social many and grave evilsand there is urgent necessity forsternest war upon Therebe relentless exposure of andupon every evil man whetheror business man every evil practicewhether in politics In business orsocial life I hall as a benefactorwriter or speaker every man whoon the platform or in book magazineor newspaper with mercilessmakes such attack providedthat he In his turn remembers thatattack Is of use only If It istruthful

The attack inst be tnihfulmust not be overdrawn ored It must be based entirely on thefacts That hysterical sensationalIsm Is the very poorest weapwherewith to fight for lasting righteousness all fairminded personswill agree In a wordRoosevelts plea is for a sane criti-cism Jt Is Just and Irrefutablewriters who will not subscribe todoctrine so effectively laid downwould better turn to some other

To writers of this class whoout In hideous rage at capitalwho cringe before labor there I

food for thought In the truismwe can more and no less afforc

to condone evil in the man of capitathan evil In the man of no capitalThe President would have us remember that a failure of justice In theffort to bring some trustto book for his misdeeds would bino worse than a failure ofwhere a labor leader is implicatedmurder Exact justice for each Is althat can be asked

But In considering the Manthe MuckRake wa should not misa new note which the Presidensounds iff his great speech His atti-tude toward wealth Is statedhis usual positiveness

It Is important to this people tgrapple with the problem connectewith the amassing of enormous fortuneand the use of those fortunescorporate and individual In businessWe should discriminate In the sharpcsway between fortunes anfortunes illwon between those gainecas an Incident to performing great serv-Ices to the as a whole anthose pained In evil fashion byjUt within the limits of mere lawhonesty Of course no amount of char-Ity in spending such fortunes In anway compensates for misconduct 1-

1making themAS a matter conviction

and without pretending to discussor the system I

that we shall ultimately have to consides the some such schem-as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes beyond a certain amount elthegiven in life or devised or

death to any Individual a tax sframed as to put it out of the power othe owner of one of these enormoufortunes to hand en more than atain amount to any one Individual thtax rof course be imposed bynational the State governmentSuck taxation should of course baimed at the inheritance orzion in their entirety of those fortuneswollen beyond all healthy limits

Baseball Once More

Some of the stereotyped signs ofspring have been a bit shy aboutcoming forward this season

it is good that whatever frost-bites may befall the Initial robinor however the crocuses may be discouraged by wrong font temperatures the baseball opening is nomovable feast It cornea at a fixedtime and It is a surer sign of springthan any other The calendar isutterly unworthy of credence es-

pecially this year and Easter isonly a generalization but the callto Play ball is a reliable sign ofthe times

Washington lost the first gameA good omen according to peoplewho have hunches and such likeWe hope their hunch is right thistime We have hoped so for lothese feundry seasons and it hasever been the hope that long de-

ferred maketh the fan heartsickBut it is Impossible for any run

of luck even bad lastever Washington has been strug-gling for decades against a fate thatseemed to have consigned her to atallend situation She has been thecitizens on foot in the baseball

procession There is no reason forIt either The town Is the bestbaseball community population considered In the country Its loyaltyis beyond all discouragement itsenthusiasm Is never to be trustedwith weights on the safety valve andits faith In the home team is of thevariety that moves mountains Some-day some day of days this oldtown Is going by some lucky chanceto get a real winning team a pennant aggregation and then thereare going to be sensational doings-It Is not to say that anything ofthe sort is to happen this yearThats different Phophecy is dangerous except of the ex post facto sortand that would never be allowed bythe constitutional lawyers who holdsway these days But still in theglad new hopefulness of the budding percentage table we ventureto make just enough prediction towarrant us In case things go rightin indulging later the pleasing retrospection that we told you so

For some day somehow Washington Is going to get a team that willcut the ice Why not this yearWhy not

Well Worth the Woney

A disposition appears Inquarters to at the work of tneUnited States Weather Bureau andto protest at the request of its chiefWillis L Moore for an annual in-

crease of 126000 for the betteringIts service There are those who assert that the bureaus claim of 88

cent of correct prophecies is farcical-on the face of things and who de-

mand proof in the shape of a tabulated record of instances showing exactly what the weather bureau hasbeen able to accomplish in this direc-

tion during a given periodFew are the observers who are

prepared to argue the question of thecorrectness of the weather forecasts-It Is easy when an unpredictedhappens to ruin a new suit or a

dream of a hat to denounce Mooreand all his works and just as easyon the other hand to forget benefitsreceived in the shape of correctprophecies So far as percentages areconcerned the goosebone theground hog or the weather sharpSlocums Cprner may have as ad-

mirable a record for aught we knowBut one thing is ausolutely certain

that the storm warnings sent outthe Weather Bureau are of the greatest value to shipping alongEastern coast There Is no questionthat millions of dollars worthproperty and hundreds of livessaved every year by theservice given to navigators Even II-

tthe department does cost a millior-

WOMANS NEW METHODTO KEEP HUBBY

When a woman has siceeded In man-aging her home so that her husbandwants to stay In It I believe that shelas found the way to Uianage him

Exceptions to this na In other thingsonly prove the rule

Man loves to be managed nIl his protests to the contrary notwithstanding-but woe be unto the woman who Is foolish enough to let him se the wheelsgo around The tactful woman willnever allow him to suspect that he Isnot doing exactly as he wishes In whichcase she generally has things fixed sothat his way Is hers

Womans spasmodic solicitude doesnot work with a man with an ounce ofbrains You know men do have somebrains and cannot be expected to beabsolutely blind and deaf It doesntcost anything to keen a little kindlycere on tap Little things go furthertcward maklnc or unmaking a happyhome than ones

There la a vast difference betweenthe little attentions a wife gives thehusband loves and the shamllke-aervico given and wlllnKly accepted inmany cases You will never managethe man to whom you are servant

Find Happy MediumMany a great strong fellow Is liter-

ally ruled as a companion by a littledelicate woman who started out to

Hungarian Statesmen In

fluenced ImmigrationCriticises Storer

Marcus Braun has written a bookThe former Hungarian now a citizen

of the United States has undertaken-to explain the troubles between himselfand the government of Hungary andIn doing so ho has made charges of corruption against the most distinguished-and prominent statesmen of that countryMr

Braun charges that there Is dcorrupt deal between the Hungariangovernment and the Cunard steamshipline for the purpose of dlvertirfg aslargely as possible the emigrants fromHungary to the ships of that line thatthe present Hungarian emigration lawpassed In 1903 was gotten up to throwsand In the eyes of those peopleHungary who are honestly opposed toemigration while on the other hand Itcreated a monopoly to fill the pocketsof the TlszaFeJervary regime bywhich they are to be rewarded fortheir heavy contributions to the cam-

paign funds of M TIsza and similarstatesmen and who had to be recom-pensed In some way

These remarkable charges are not allthat Mr Braun makes He was sentto Hungary to Investigate the conductof the emigration business there andhe did 80 He charges that his reportwhich laid bare the various alleged cor-

rupt features concerning this businesswas not published for a year after hesent It to this Government but thatnevertheless during that interval thegovernment of Hungary was able to dis-

cover its contents and knowing themproceeded to raise a great protestagainst his work In that country

Whatever the inspiration it is mat-

ter of common knowledge that therewas a falling out between Mr Braunand the authorities In Hungary andthat as a result of It he was recalled-to this country and later given a postin Canada

Mr Brauns book Is a somewhat re-

markable literary production Its pref-ace declares that the author served theGovernment during the time he wasspecial Immigrant Inspector honestlyand faithfully but that intolerable ob-

stacles were thrown In his path by theAuthorities and a

pays his compliments to Bellamy Storerlately removed as to AustriaHungary in these words

The foregoing pages were In type andwhen the American people were
