The Telephone Charges.

Yesterdays debate in the House on the
bill granting certain privileges to the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone Company
indicated that that body is determined to
require the corporation to grant reasona-
BE rates to the people of the District 1t
is a fair presumption that if there had
been no pressure on the House for action
on this bill in order to permit certain citi-
zenS TO secure telephone service even at the
prevailing rates, the measure would have
been rejected. Congress having fixed the
rates for telephone service a few years ago.
IL now finds the company in contempt of it's
commands and engaged in strenuousIy re-
sisting the enforcement of the law by an
appeal to the courts. The case is yet to be
settled by the court of the last resort In
its latest shape it bears adversely upon
the corporation, the District Court of APP
peals having sustained the rates as reason
able.
In It's defense of the suits to test the con-
stitutionality of the rate law, the telephone
company declared that it could not give the
service for the prices fixed by the law and
cited certain rate at which 1t could make
money, higher than the prescribed rates. but
much lower than those which 1t has con-

erjoys the confidence of the appointing
power. Should the German government
then turn its back upon Potts and inform
this government that he does not enjoy its
confidence? In all probability the kaiser
never heard of Potts until the name was
brought to his notice by this appointment;
and about place of so little Importance
the kaiser's first and only thought doubtless
was that the man for it who was acceptable
to the President of the United States was
acceptable also to him.
While the Sampson-Schley controversy
was at it's hottest the charge was made
that bureau of fabrication" existed in
the Navy Department to the injury of Adj
miral Schley. What do we see in this yarn
about Potts? 1t Is denounced as an inven-
ton at Berlin. Who spun it? And at
whose instance? Is there bureau for
the origination and dissemination Of fakes
about Potts and Crowninshield and all
others classed as anti-Schley men and who
are now on duty abroad? The embassy at
Berlin would do we'll to push its inquiry.

The Philippine Investigation.

Captain Mcdonald has disposed frankly
and fully of Corporal O. Brien. He not only
denies the latters story about atrocities in
the Philippines, but offers proof of his own
assertions. His statement is very much to
the point. and reads like that of man of
truth and thorough self-respect.
How much further, one is justified in ask
ing, do the minority members of the Senate
Philippine committee purpose carrying their
crusade against the army in the archipel-
ago? They started out with something of a
flourish of trumpets. They almost para
phrased indeed the most sacred of all invi-
tations. Come unto us they as much as
said, AL ye who have tales to tell against
the army. or grudges to settle against any
of its officers, and we will give you a hear
ing. mileage and a little notoriety." They
we're looking for tale-bearers. tattlers and
men of invention. Have the responses been
numerous? Is the waiting list long? Is
O Brien to be followed by score or more
witnesses of like kidney?
Or is it apparent now that the country
has no sympathy with such a crusade? 1t
is dawning upon even the most extreme Of
the anti-imperialists that there are no
votes in attempting to besmirch the men
who are carrying the flag in the Philip
pines? Surely there can be no mistaktng
the comments of the press on the subject.
The leading newspapers of the south are
disguised with the whole performance,
while those of the east and west, where
this years battle is to be fought, denounce
the performance unmeaSuredly.
Although it has been mentioned before, 1t
is worthy of note again that the old lead
ers in the Senate on the minority side and
particularly those who served in the con-
federate army. have taken no part in this
attack on the army. Their sagacity and
chivalry must both have advised against it.
They are good partisans, and doubtless are
as anxious for an issue as any of their asso-
cfates. but they can see that even if a tri-
umph at the polls could be gained by such
means it would prove more 'veXatious than
profitable to the winners. We have set a
task for the army more difficult in many
particulars than any ever set for American
soldiers before. To hold the army up to
obIoquy, therefore, upon the gable of few
men, some of whom are entirely without
Knowledge of war, is an offense against fair
play and decency which any party as a
party should hesitate to commit.

The Home-Rule Principle Menaced.

The Deople of the District have confidently
expected that the President, in filling the
iudicial vacancy recently caused by the
death of Justice Bradley, would observe the
home-rule principle sufficiently to fill the
place with District man. They have pre-
scented to the President several names OF
the highest character. So excellent, indeed
are the nominations which have been filed
at the White House that the President S
chief embarra ssment. it has been felt mere
tofore. would be one of richness of oppor-
'tunity.
But TODAY comes an intimation. from
source not to be ignored. that the President
is at present strongly inclined toward the
selection of an outsider for this local posi-
ton. There is mention of but one name,
that of Representative Sherman OF Ne"
York. for the place, but others, according to
The Stars representatives information, are
being considered.
This is a dsquieting sign OF the fresi-
dents mind If there were any unseemly
scramble among the local people any irrec-
oncilable differences over candidates, any
lack of suitable local material for judge
shin there would be some reason for such
a course But every condition favors and
even demands the selection of a local man.
All the traditions call for such an appoint
ment The fact that the deceased justice
was a Washingtonian, born and Bred
should preclude the filling of his place by
any other than District man. The pecu-
iiarities of the local legal system only in
part lessened by the adoption of the code.
call for the appointment as judge of one
familiar with the statutes and the practices
of the courts.
The District has suffered sorely in the
past from the appointment to strictly local
places of political favorites from the states.
1t has been badly served by some of Them
half-heartedly by others, ably by a few.
But whatever the quality of their services
they have all been accepted by the District
SrudsinSly. The capital is too rich in tai
ent of all kinds to be rudely ignored when
the time comes to fill strictly local offices

tinued to charge. It has made no move
toward reducing the general rates save by
the offer of a so-called measured service.
It has laid a strong stress upon that meas
ured service, as being an ample solution of
all the ills of which the subscribers COM
plain. But experience with this service
proves that it is delusion and a snare. It
does not afford very satisfactory service
to those who need the telephone only mod
erately, while to those who need it most
seriously in the course Of business it affords
no relief whatever, but on the contrary
proves heavy financial burden.
The privilege of erecting poles in the al
leys is as much for the accommodation of
the people as that of the corporation This
alone saved the day for the BILL The ma
jority Of the House concluded that it is
better that those who need the telephone
sufficiently to be- willing to endure the bur-
den of the excessive charges should be thus
accommodated than that they should be
continued under the prohibition Of the ex-
listing laws and regulations. The company
must take it's chances with the courts. If
the Supreme Court Of the United States at
firms the judgment Of the District Court of
Appeals and sustains the law, thu company
must refund all 'xhe charges in excess of
the legal rates which it has COLI ted not
withstandng protest since the enactment of
the statute. If. on the other hand, it over
rules the lower courts decision and sus-
tains the company's contention, it is evil
dent. from the temper shown by the House
yesterday, that further effort will be
made by Congress to frame a law, reducing
the rates, which will bear the scrutiny of
the courts.
But a renewed effort by the company to
defeat the acts of Congress by appeals to
the courts, should a second enactment be
necessary, is likely to precipitate the incor-
poration of one of the organizations which
now stand willing to enter the District and
give first-class telephone service for the
rates now prescribed by law, and even for
lower rates. 1t has been too often demon
strated that such service can be given for
such rates for Congress to continue long to
maintain the Chesapeake and Potomac
company in enjoyment of its extortionate
monopoly
