No New States.

Both political parties have for
years held out the promise of State
hood to the Territories. That this
promise was not fulfilled during the
session Of Congress just ended will
be sincerely regretted. Even Arizona,
least populous of the Territories pro-
posed to be erected into Statehood,
has qualifications far superior to
those possessed by four or five of the
latest States that came in, and all Of
which have been creditable to the
Union. New Mexico can set up a
claim more impressive than Arizona's
while Oklahoma, made up OF the Ter
ritory OF that name, combined with
Indian Territory, would have in
abundance every requisite of resource
and population.
The public has been unable to dis
Germ IN the arguments advanced, any
reason entitled to weight, why there
should not have been three new
States. OF course, the plea that there
was fear Of political corruption was
unworthy of credence. Equally with
out merit was the plan OF welding
Arizona and New Mexico into one
and it was, Ia all probability. advanc-
ed merely as part Of the scheme for
killing the whole project.
It can only be hoped that in the
next framing Of platform the great
parties will omit the pledge of State
hood. They have demonstrated that
she chronic prefer is not made il
god faith.

FubliG Opinion S Victory.

The President has signed, and
thereby made law, bill requiring the
local street car companies to equip
their cars with vestibules for the pro-
lection Of the motormen. Whatever
the purposes OF the two systems,
therefore Ishesthef they intended TO
equip their cars without legal re-
quirenent or. not-all street cars
operated in the District OF Columbia
in the winter months must hereafter
be so constructed as to shield the oc-
cupants of the platforms from driving
wind and storms.
This has been accomplished by the
force Of public opinion. Il either OF
the railroads had any intention of
building vestibufes on its cars before
public opinion began to express itself
on this subject a few weeks ago, it
gave no tangible sign. On the con-
trary. both companies had explicitly
i refused to announce any purpose
whatever as to vestibules.
In this instance public opinion
I found it's first expression in an edi-
| torial published in these columns.
| More than one effort had been made
to persuade the Washington COM
i Danies to vestibule their cars, but
without result Indeed, in answer to
one such agitation, the officials Of one
I system polled their motormen and OBJ
tanned a majority vote that vestibules
were not desired. When The Times
editorial was written, therefore, it
was rather in a spirit of indignant
protest against Cruelty to Men" than
with a purpose to inauguTate a cam
paign which should compel the rail
| road companies TO action.
! But the public sympathy had been
more deeply touched in behalf of the
mptormen than The Times thought
The editorial found earnest indorse-
ment all over the city And in one
part of the city most remarkable
thing happened. A young girl whose

sympathy into practical form by cir

In the Nation S Eye.

Washington was yesterday in the
focus of the national view. OF course,
Neutrality-suspicious. cannot be sure, but
it seemed as though the city must
have stood the inspection we'll The
day was clear and fine, the first
promise Of that spring which makes
WASHINGTON the loveliest city in the
world. The wide, smooth avenues
were clean and clear. The city's note
worthy buildings public and private
were say with the national colors.
The Capitals resources for hospitality
were strained by the largest crowd 1t
has ever entertained fer an Inaugural
ton, and proved generously adequate.
AS far as Washington can tell, it has
met its responsibilities without dis
credit.
If that be true it will not be the
people OF Washington alone who will
be glad. The people of the whole
country will be gratifled that the city
from which their Government reaches
out its powerful arms is not IN
worthy OF its eminence. One of the
first lessons taught by much travelling
! through the States is that the people
are everywhere interested in the CAPT
! tai in the sense OF proprietorship
/ Old John Sherman used to say that
/ thousands of sightseeing visitors hae
come TO see Washington from Ohio
but he had never heard of one who
thought the nations Capital too fine
and that is the attitude everywhere.
This national interest in Washing
ton was intensified yesterday, becaus'
of the ceremony which confirmed {

est it is distinctly a matter for ma

No Sinking OF DUTY.

President Roosevelt's inaugural adj
dress was remarkable, beth for its
brevity and the circumstance that
into a few words had been crowded
the essence OF the sentiments which
have guided aim in his pablo career.
The tone OF the speech was charac-
teristic. The theme of it was that
there should be no sinking OF duty
by this nation, and there YVES a terse
definition of the duty as it appeared
to the man whom the nation had
chosen to preside over its affairs.
There could hardly be selected from
the speech a line to serve as a key
note" At no point does it rise far
above its own level, but this is
high level and admirably sustained
throughout. But there was no ocea-
sion for a keynote. There was not
need for announcement of policy. The
position of the President is clear and
open. He has been before the people
period of years, and his trait Of
absolute frankness has made them to
know him. They knew his attitude
toward affairs before they asked him
to direct these affairs for them He
is not an experiment, and will not in
dulge in experiment. The people I'M
derstand President Roosevelt, he IN
derstands them, and the confidence is
mutual as the understanding.
The President expressed for the
millions of this land a sense Of graft
tude that conditions had enabled
them TO attain SO large measure of
happiness. He pointed out the obi
cations entailed by growth and
power; but he did not point as though
making a revelation. but merely as
calling attention to a circumstance
which belonged already to the COM
mon knowledge.
The judicious course Of making a
short inaugural speech merits appro-
baton, for the eccentricities OF March
weather render uncertain the chance
that it may be delivered with COM
fort or listened to with satisfaction
Nor is President under any pressure
to present extended opinions as in g
letter of acceptance. He is not pass
ing through an ordeal to prove the
manner of man that he is, for he has
lad his trial, and the verdict ha:
been rendered
While President Roosevelt's speech
