WHAT EXCUSE CAN CONGRESS GIVE FOR FAILURE TO PASS A BUDGET 3IEASUREI It would be interesting to know the ll exact cause of the apparent disposition, I in certain quarters in Washington, to allow this session of Congress to ad-'journ without adoption of a budget sys-; tem.

The frightful wastefulness of the present methods, through which fab-; ulous sums are appropriated largely upon half -information and guesswork, "has been recognized and admitted by leaders of both parties, and there have been numerous explicit promises of re-J: form by leaders of both parties, if; The Democrats failed to keep the promise. They are to be condemned for 1 that, even allowing for the difficulties which must have beset them had they attempted the institution of the budget system, with its alterations of govern-j mental methods, during the hurried days ot the war. If the Republicans fail now, as the Democrats did, they will deserve and will receive the full measure of condemnation from intelligent per- sons. They will not be entitled to that "I measure of mitigation due the Democrats. For the Republicans have ample power, time and convenience in which to put through Congress a budget system satisfactory at this stage, and they are pledged up to their eyes to do so, not merely in their specific promises, but in the implications of all their constant and harsh criticism of the opposition k-r party.

Either stupidity, hypocrisy or malign influence, or all, must have gov-erned the Republican party if, at the close of this Congress, it shall have failed jj to keep its promise in this matter of vital importance to the millions of men 4 and women who are feeling the pinch of severe Federal taxation. In the July issue of the National Mu-anicipal Revieio is a word-picture of the present method of making appropria-Z tidns, which wili be appreciated as truth-ful and characteristic by everyone ae- quainted with the financial machinery of Congress. It is so superior in por- trayal of the methods under which the country suffers to the statement of sys- tem and figures used in the ordinary in- dictment, that we give it, in part Scene A high, handsome, carven chamber in the Capitol last summer. Present Two members of the Appropriations Committee of the House only two Swager Sherley and "Uncle Joe" Cannon. Also, on the opposite side of the table, the chief of a bureau, with sundry technical subordinates.

The latter have heard that an urgent deficiency bill is in the making, and have hastily compiled a mass of data supporting their plea for an appropriation of $100,000,000 to their bureau. Their plea for the $100,000,000 is complicated by no sense of wonderment as to where the money will come from on the other hand, the two Congressmen will never be blamed if the war program breaks down at this point for lack of funds. The bureau chief notices that the "committee" takes no interest in his written data, and he abandons it in favor of jollity over cigars. He and his fellow-suppliants laugh long and loud at the Congressmen's jokes. It is a reaction of men, not of facts.

At the end the two Congressmen close the interview with polite and indefinite phrases, and "Joe" Cannon, slowly swinging his feet down from the table top, and rising with his cigar uptilted steeply in his mouth, fingers the edge of a vast tabulated chart which comprises a condensed summary of the data, and remarks: "As for t-his stuff, I know no more about what's in it than I do about what's in my record with the recording angel." Laughter. Adjournment. In substitution for this method this Republican Congress may and, if it is honest, will erect the budget system embodied in a pending bill, introduced in the House by Chairman Good, the new Republican chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The bill easilymay be passed in the present session if the Re- Please be concise. At a rule, 200 words should he enough; beyond that the editor reserves the right to blue pencil.

Who Has Lived Nearly All His Uife In Washington, Contrasts The Difference Between Conditions At The Capital When It Was Wickedly Wide Open, And Conditions That Exist Now That It Is Governed By The Pur-) Ity Leagfae. lo the Editor of The Sun Sir: I have lived "in" Washington the greater part of my life. I have seen it under various forms" of government.

When I first came here it was literally a wide- ftlWn rwn Tn font- nrnnf except that no one was permitted to en croach upon the rights and privileges of others. aloons were unlimited as to numbers and open night and day. There was a Sunday law. but it was a dead let ter. Gambling houses were open and: largely attended.

Tnere were no re strictions placed upon what is called "the social evil." This was under the municipal form of government. It was succeeded by the territorial torm and then came the present commis sion form. The conditions of which I speak still continued for a few years under the commission system. I re member very well when one of the original commissioners, who was appointed by President Hayes, said to me "I be lieve in giving the people the greatest measure of personal liberty compatible with the rights and privileges of others. I.

regarded that as sound doctrine then, and I so regard it During all this period Washington was an orderly city. There was absolutely no- such thing known here as a tough element. People generally minded their own business. Then along came" the meddlers, the busybodies, the reformers, the uplifters. They discovered that this was wrong and that was sinful, bo step by step they curtailed the pleasures and the amusements of the people, evidently animated with the purpose to take all the joy and happiness out of life.

The crowning Tfrort was prohibition. Alia," they "now we have" got you where we want you. The millennium is at hand. We will make "you good in spite df yourselves." Have they Come over to Washington and see for yourself. In the last 12 months there have been more murders, more burglaries, more rapes, more pock- etmckinsr.

more holdups than in any similar period during the "wicked" era. The police force seems to have disappeared from the streets of the city. It is said thev are scouring ail tne adjacent country roads in Maryland, chasing after pints of whisky in the pockets or dooi- We have a chief of police who says his prayers with great regularity, who addresses Young Men's Christian Association meetings and who thinks it a mortals sin to take a drink. Of lite there is not an hour in the day or night that some crime is not committed in this city, and not minor offenses by any means. In one week there were five criminal assaults made on white women by negroes and not onei offender Women are almost afraid to venture out alone after dark.

But. the enforcement of prohibition is of much more conseauence than this. The pious soul of the chief of police can find consolation in the capture-of rotgut whisky, even if there is no redress for the ravishment of women and the com mission of arson, burglary and theft. Jr. A.

xv. Washington, D. July 8. Why All This Noise Near A Hos To the Editor of TnE Sun Sir: Permit me to say that the distracting sounds which are allowed to be made around the Women's Hospital, corner Lafayette avenue and ohn street, by ramshackle street cars, bellowing hucksters, "fresh fish" and "rags, bones, old iron" yappers and screaming children of the neighborhood are disgraceful and un pardonable, particularly in view of the signs surrounding the hospital and reading, "Hospital Zone Unnecessary Noises Prohibited." This is clearly a matter for the Police Department to handle, and if Marshal Carter or Patrolman Kelly will do a little detective work in the vicinity of the hospital any day from 9 to 12 in the morning and 5 to in the evening they will get a sample of what is complained of and, I am sure, be quick to put a stop to it that is, if they have any consideration for sick and helpless women. Baltimore, my s.

Humane. Thinks The Baltimore County Wa ter Company Will Make The City Pay A Steep Price. To the Editor of TnE Sun Sir: Having read in your valuable paper that Mayor liroening visited the Baltimore County (Highlandtown and "Canton dis trict) Water Company's plant, with a view of Baltimore city purchasing the same. 1 wonder if our taxpayers are aware of what this 'worthy company done to its patrons quite recently in the way of raising water rents, having in view, of course, Baltimore city taking it over? The writer was raised on a 14-foot front from $6 a year to $9, ahd again from $9 to $13. This is, indeed, exorbitant.

But what can a poor taxpayer expect? Our Public Service Commission, instead of a help, is a burden and expense to the taxpayers. Their every act proves this. And again the worthy Mr. Wehr, the president- of the Baltimore County Water Company, is the same Mr. Wehr who tried to sell to Baltimore county a sewerage system for the sum of $500,000, the howl raised by taxpayers barely preventing this.

A Victiic Baltimore, July 9. I Franklin. Could Visit Dublin, Why Should Not DeValera Visit Baltimore? To the Editor of The Sun Sir: The risibility of the unthinking is raised by so light a thing as their own thought. Proof of the truth of this statement is furnished today in your Letter Column, wherein the- lineal descendant of O'Liathain, anglicized Lyons, laughs at the idea of an Irish republic. If Franklin in 1769 and again in 1771 could visit Dublin and "dine with the patriots," surely the President, in Washington, had he even the contract of Sisyphus on his hands, will not feel, discomfited should De Valera come within 40 miles of him to state the case of Ireland, as Franklin stated the case of the Colonies to willing ears in Irish capital.

Michael J. Redding. Baltimore, July 8. One Thlnj? In Which Baltimore Is measure. In fact, so completely is Con gress left free that the President is re qnired so to segregate the items in the budget as to conform to the present Con gressional machinery, under which dif ferent committees at different times con sider appropriations for a single depart ment's annual expenses.

In order to present a clearer picture for the general public, the President is authorized to sub mit an extra budget, in which the facts and figures in. the first budget will be of ered under new headings, each depart ment's or division's as a unit. Dr. W. F.

Willoughby and others who have done splendid work in behalf of budgetary reform hope that once the budget system is created Congress will reorganize its machinery, to fit it for consideration of a budget submitted in the more orderly and logical form. They regard this as a chance that must be taken in getting at this time other great advantages of the budget as framed in the Good bill, and in getting the paramount advantage of having the country commit itself to the budgetary principle. GERMANY RATIFIES THE TREATY. The ratification of the peace treaty by the German National Assembly does not come as a surprise, in spite, of the bitter newspaper and personal comment which preceded the formal action of the German representatives at Versailles. There was nothing else for Germany to do but to sign the treaty and then to ratify it.

Hard as she might think its terms, it was clear that failure to acquiesce might make them harder still. Prompt ratification opens the way for immediate raising of the blockade and the restoration of German commercial relations with the outside world. The treaty itself does not become effective until three of the great Allied powers have ratified it, but special provision was made for lifting the blockade as soon as Germany acted. The treaty has already been submitted to the British, French and Belgian parliaments, and will be laid before the United States Senate today. The Allied Governments are not likely to delay.

The Senate of the United States is the only body which threatens to hold up the treaty. MR. WILSON AS AN ORATOR. Mr. Wilson told his New York audience that he was not going to make them "a real speech," in spite of the fact that his system was almost bursting with "undelivered speeches." And yet he made one of the realest of real speeches, one that went straight home and hit'the right spot.

Whatever else may be said about Mr. his extraordinary ability as a public speaker will not be denied by anyone who has ever heard him. That he is himself fully aware of his power goes without saying. His appreciation of his own talent probably had not a little to do with his custom of delivering his messages to Congress by word of mouth. He is as much distinguished for his wonderful gift in this line as Mr.

Jefferson was hampered by his limitations. The United States has had no one in the last decade who could compare with Mr. Wilson as a public speaker in combined grace of expression and delivery, persuasiveness and intellectual eloquence. Mr. Roosevelt had a rougher and more direct style, and was a speaker who struck off burning and enduring phrases at a white heat from his mental anvil, but he could not be called a great orator.

William Jennings Bryan is of. a pattern much admired in earlier days, and truly great at its greatest in intellectual giants-like Clay and Webster, who united majesty and strength of thougnt with the rainbow glories of beautiful diction. Mr. Wilson belongs to a less fervid, but to a no less attractive and convincing school. His difference from the old Is in outward fashion rather than in innate power.

The quality and thercharm of the great orator are his. His art is forgotten because he appears to be so entirely artless. But the effect on his hearers is the same as the swelling notes of Websterian music or the mighty and impassioned sweep of Clay's rhetoric and logic. Mr. Wilson touched the right chord and played precisely the right tune in his New York address.

He made a "real speech" while pretending merely to talk offhand. His instinct as political diagnostician and his genius in prescribing exactly the right form of words for a given occasion made his "extemporaneous" address in Carnegie Hall a little gem of oratorical appropriateness and understanding. Peoplei used to say that Mr. Wilson lacked personal magnetism and warmth. However that may be as to individuals, it is not so as to crowds.

Forthe latter he is the greatest living American charmer. This is why the opponents of the League of Nations dread his going on the stump. He has such a damnable way of making people take his view of things, and all the anti-League spellbinders sound like schoolboys after him. And they havean unpleasant conviction that if the American people are not for the League now, the great majority of them will be after Mr. Wilson has presented the case to them in his peculiarly seductive and ingratiating manner.

SUPPRESSION AND SECRECY. Any persons dull enough to desire further evidence of the ill effects of the ever idiotic policy of suppression and secrecy might contemplate the case of the London Daily Herald, the only labor newspaperNin England. The British War Department a short time ago ordered Bundles containing copies of the Daily Herald are being received at the railhead. Army of Occupation, Germany. Insure that no copies get to enlisted men.

Collect and burn at brigade postoffices. The result of the blundering of the bureaucrats was inevitable. The Daily Herald secured a copy of the order and published it. Thereby all radicals were made more radical, while some who were not radical at all promptly became Thus once again it. is conspicuously obvious that suppression and secrecy breed dangerous discontent.

It is possible for censorships to cause revolutions, whereas toleration, fair play and free speech have ever gone hand in hand with stability and progress. If President Bryant, otf the Second Branch, succeeds, as seems likely, in having that apartment house built, giving people comfortable homes at rents of from $30 to $50, the examplewill lead to other construction which 'will make some of the rent profiteers need all the-money they extort. Over in Italy, the King provides a remedy for profiteering, by the simple expedient of clapping the profiteers in jail. That occurrence will shake the hitherto absolute certainty of the average American" that kings are out of style, passe and so on. Good Morning BY I THE BENTZTOWN BARD.

It takes the trial to bring us out, The care to test and prove The courage of our battle-shout, The endurance of our love. There is often a quiet moment to go over things with ourselves, Step by step through the shadows as well as amid the sun. Taking down from the cupboards and from the dusty shelves The things that we've known or longed for, the things we have wished or won. And always in that fine moment truth gives us the gift of sight how so often we've missed it, the thing we longed for most; And still somewhere in our garden of mingled shadow and light The love and the friendly communion are lingering like a ghost. Our feelings surge and are startled, and we wonder why none can see IIow hungry we are for the comfort of having folks understand That love and beauty and kindness mean just as much to me As they do to the myriad others who are strange in a thoughtless land.

The best there is is beauty's gift Of joy in morning's way; For there reside the wings that lift Our faint hearts through the day. We Do Not Have To: We Are!

Silverson. of the Department of Weights and Measures, has come to the help of the ice consuming public with a table of weights which will make it possible to determine whether or not the purchaser is getting full value for his money A number of complaints have been made, he states, about short-weight ice. Householders have looked with suspicion upon the dwindling size of their food preservative during the hot months and that suspicion can readily be proved founded or unfounded with a ruler in the absence of a suitable scale. Mr. Silverson is issuing a table of sizes and weights, which was prepared by the National Ice Dealers' Association of America.

It is based on the cubic foot, 12 by 12 by 12 inches, which weighs 57 pounds, 8 ounces. A cubic inch of ice weighs .532 ounce. A cake 22 by 22 and 1 inch thick weighs 10 pounds and for each additional inch in thickness the weight will increaso 16 pounds. The table, which is given below, shows the weights of pieces of ice of various sizes. For other sizes the rule is to multiply the length by the Airidth, by the heighth, which will give a total of the cubic inches.

Multiply the product by ,532 and divide the result by 16 and you will have the weight in pounds. Inches. Lbs. Inches. Lbs.

HELENA SCORED Higher in Government Houses, It Is Said By Labor Man. The housing question came up indirectly last night at a meeting of the Baltimore Federation of Labor, when a letter addressed "to the federation in response to inquiries made of the United States Emergency Fleet" Corporation relative to alleged profiteering in rentals in the St.

Helena and Dundalk developments was read. The letter came from II. F. Schmaltz, staff assistant of the Property Bureau of th. Shipping Board, with offices iu Philadelphia.

Mr. Schmaltz, while not denying that the rentals asked may be large, said that they were in keeping with rentals asked generally in neighborhood of the nronrrtv. nnrl that- ihorr "would not bring 0 per cent, on the in vestment, -ana nareiy enough tor taxes, repairs, insurance, upkeep and administration." Jesse G. Francis, business representative of Local No. 03, of the Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Shipbuilders, said that the dwellings of five rooms are being rented at $7.00 a week, and those of six rooms $10 a week.

He denied that this was representative of the charges for similar properties in that neighborhood, and said that rents generally in the eastern suburbs were considerably lower than those asked for the Dundalk houses by the Government. The matter was referred back to the local from which the complaint came, with the recommendation that additional data be secured.
