Mr.. John d. Long today laid down a re-
sponsiblity which he has ably borne for
more than five years. and passed over to
a successor, who is regarded as competent
in every particular, the administration of
the naval affairs of the country Mr..
Longs service has covered a period of the
greatest Importance in our naval history
1t saw the United States go to war with
a foreign power upon naval basis for the
first time since 1912. 1t saw the vessels of
this country circling the globe in the prose-
cution of the campaign. 1t saw them ope-
rating successfully many thousands of
miles from home. 1t embraced two of the
most complete naval victories in history.
All of this called for a vast amount of work
and the most painstaking application to a
great multitude Of details. Mr.. Longs per
formance in that capacity under those cir
cumstances was wholly satisfactory When
assailed without cause In the course of a
factional quarrel he conducted himself with
dignity and successfully refuted all charges
He enjoyed the confidence of both Presi-
dents under whom he served and his re-
tirement was dictated solely by his natural
desire to rest after the performance of one
of the most arduous tasks that has ever
fallen to an American Secretary OF the
Navy.

are not in this connection to be herded off
into democratic and republican pens The

of New York was that it would be wiser
for the republican party to have this fight
settled quietly, meaning that it would be
well for the government to secure an os-
tensible victory from the trust under the
threat of procee dings. while the trust would
be LETT free from prosecutions. Such
proposition put the case Immediately upon
its lowest possible plane 1t suggested the
possibility of deception for the sake of the
administrations prestige with the party.
The governments case against the beef
trust is already strong and is bound to
grow stronger as it is pressed. Proof of the
actual. legal, rather illegal, existence of
the trust is forthcoming, according to
ports. Proof is at hand that the prices of
live stock and those of dressed meats have
risen dispreportienately, to the disadvan-
tage of the consumer. 1t has been further
shown that the trust has manipulated the
live supply as well as that of the dressed
meats 1t is demonstrated that there is no
way for the small producer to break the
market even locally, owing to the severe
regulations of the trust. In short at the
present rate Of progress the government
will soon be in possession of perfect case
aga inst the combination.
Already there are signs of the trusts
weakening. Prices have fallen in the west.
Stock yards are packed with live cattle
which cannot be safely killed. The refrig-
orators are congested. Refrigerator cars
are stalled in the freight yards because
there is an unusually low demand for ship
ments. The trade has fallen off fully one
third during the past three weeks due to
the prohibitiye prices and the public deter
m1nation not to buy at trust inflated rates
These facts. coupled with the pointed pos
sihiHty of legal restrictions and the lower
ing of the tariff bars on live stock, are
sufficient to bring the trust 20 terms. There
Is little wonder that the representatives of
the combination were willing to meet the
Attorney General under the auspices of the
Republican Club busy-bodies.

will be thoroughly occupied, however, in
carrying on the work laid down by his pred
ecessor In the upbuilding of the navy along
the lines disclosed to be essential by the
events Of 1898. 1t will be in the last degree
imprudent If the government does not pro-
ceed with all possible speed to correct the
errors and to provide the needs of which
that year demonstrated the existence. Much
has been done already and more has been
started. but the bulk of the work cut out
by the war year is yet to be accomplished,

Mr.. Roosevelt and 1901.

The Boston Transcript is a little dis
turbed over the situation as respects the
President and 1904. 1t says:
THE President is now at odds with many
of the republican leaders, He has little in
f1uence in or with Congress But he is
still very strong with the plain people of
the country: They see in him plain.
rather indiscreet in his bluntness But
they like him none the less for these de-
fects of his qualities. The Presidents true
policy. the one which will keep him freest
from mistakes to be reckoned against his
availability in 1904. is to be simply him
self At play ing the game OF politics ne
does not rise to the level of novice, even
He had better let his own strong convc-
tons have full play in his policy than
listen to counsellors who are constantly
talking the eXpediency of hesitation He
does not lack for Counseilors In fact it
would be well for him if he dismissed some
of those he has
This is a curious mixture of misinforma-
ton and bad advice. With how many of
the republican leaders is the President at
odds? Those who are in Congress all go
to the White House. and all are cordially
received there. The President indeed. is
surprise to the leaders of both parties in
the matter of his approa cha bleness and in
his ability to examine all sides of a aues-
l.,
and is proving an excellent listener Mr.
Mckinley himself had no more callers. and
he was the most popular of our Presidents
Mr.. Roosevelt has demonstrated consider
able influence with Congress. He was the
great power behind the Cuban reciprocfty
bill in the House fight. He was not noisy
or ofticious. He didn't lecture anybody, or
undertake to drive but he declared him
self with emphasis to everybody with whom
he conferred The prospects for a bill of
any kind were at the outset not at all
promising. The House leaders were not
friendly to the proposition until after the
President had urged it with much earnest
ness. Then it was that they brought the
bill in and with considerable tact and pa
tience put it through
As to the proposition that the President
should not undertake to play politics. and
that he is mere novice at the game opin-
ions differ Very widely. Why should not
the President play politics? How, indeed
can he avoid doing SO? His important
moves are ali 50 construed and have that
effect. As the leader of his party ne is the
standing target for the opposition and
must at all times consider his party's well
fare. And unless many of his friends are
very much mistaken, he is far from being a
novice at the game. He was not born yes
terday. and twenty years of public life in
daily touch with politicians of high grade,
must have taught bright man something.
The fear of the opposition leaders is per-
haps that he will play the game too well.
Their first hopes were based upon an esti-
mate similar to the transcripts but they
have revised it.
So far as his personal fortunes in 1904
are concerned. Mr.. Roosevelt is on deck.
and his party is on trial in him. He seems
TO be making pretty fair headway

The discussion in the House yesterday on
the District appropriation bill turned at
one point on the taxation Of wealthy resi-
dents who had come here, it was urged, to
evade the payment Of personal taxes The
following colloouy occurred, worthy of
passing notice and query:
''Mr. Morrell-I would like to ask the
gentleman question. He has stated that
an effort will be made to reach the people
living in hotels and other places. l would
like to ask the gentleman how long they
would have to be residents before they
would be eligible for taxation on personal
property.
Mr.. Benton-If a man is q bona fide
resident, no particular time is necessary.
Mr.. Marrell-How can that be deter
mined?
'Mr. Smith of Kentucky--In the same
way that it is determined everywhere else.
Mr.. Benton-I will say to the gentleman
that 1t is not the intention to go after
members of Congress, because they are
supposed to be taxed at home, if they have
any property
VIII it not be necessary under the pro-
posed personal tax law to require the
wealthy resident. not a congressman, to
swear to his statement of property, in
order to put upon him the responsibility
of declaring that his taxable property is
assessed elsewhere? If so, why will it not
be necessary to put the same test to MEN,
bers of Congress? If members are sup
posed to be taxed at home why should
not other semi-transient residents be SINH
larly supposed" to be taxed elsewhere?
The man of means with nominal legal
domicile in some state who comes here to
live for part of the year and leases a house,
bringing hither his personal effects, his
carriages. and horses, his costly furniture,
his whole personal equipment in short,
should not be subject to tax from which
a member of Congress, who often brings
here equal property and who remains more
regularly q resident, is exempted. Neither,
of course. should pay here if he does in
fact pay taxes elsewhere on the specific
personal property that is located in the
District But 1t would seem to be at least
the part OF congressional consistency to
regard the proposed tax oath Of payment
elsewhere as applicable to every resident
of the District whether officially known as
an Honorable or as a plain Mister.
