There are in this city several CONNER

their way, and all are differed by men
who have the development and progress
of the National Capital close 20 their
hearts. They have achieved some results.
and yet. after all. their power and influ-
ence is lessened by the fact that they axe
working as separate organizations. In
view Of the fact that we are now ali de-

tion Of these associations into one great

which would be a credit to the city and an
attraction 10 the WOuld-be buyer from
abroad. It would impress Congress with
its strength, because it would speak with
the voice Of authority. In addition to all
this, and perhaps most important OF all, It

The sensational troubles Stuyvesant

road is a reminder to well-informed Wash
ingtonians OF the quiet but effective work
done in the interests of the railroads by
Mr.. Fish and another able railroad man.
when rate legislation was the exciting sub

winter. The other gentleman referred to
is Samuel Spencer, president Of the South
ern Railroad Company. who is accounted
by those who know him as probably the
most Intellectual man connected with
American railroad administration. Messrs
Spencer and Fish were the real repre-
sentatives Of the combined railroad in

Better FeelIng in Iapan.

Secretary Root, with his customary
promptness and straightforwardness took
pains 10 reassure the japanese govern
ment Immediately on hearing from AM
bassadoT Wright of the strong feeling
evoked in Japan by the action Of the Saa
francisco authorities in excluding a Jap
anese child from the public schools. IN q
note dated October o. Mr.. Root directed
Mr. Wright to assure the government Of
Japan in most positive terms that the
government Of the United States will not
for the moment entertain the idea Of
my treatment Of the japanese people
other than that accorded to the people
of the most friendly European nation,
and that there is no reason to suppose
that the people of the United States de-
sire our government to take any different
course" The Secretary in his note al
luded to the purely local and occasional
nature" Of the San Francisco affair, and
stated that the President would take such
steps as the facts warranted in safe
guarding the treaty rights OF the Jap
anese.
It is pleasant to hear that Afr. Roots
note. antedating. as it did. the formal
protest Of the japanese Ambassador. has
produced an excellent effect IN Tokyo. In
fact. the tenor OF the cable reports from
the japanese capital indicate that the
qnti-American feeling which found ex-
preston at first has largely suhsided upon
better understanding Of the California
situation and the attitude Of the country
at large toward It. II Is 10 be hoped
that the entire matter has passed. for
The present. at least, into the calmer re-
giors Of diplomatic discussion. where 1t
may be dealt with without interference
from hotheads on either side of the Pa
ci1c
IL cannot be denied. however that the
attitude OF certain elements Of the Cali
fornia population toward the japanese is
apt TO be prolific OF trouble in our rela-
tons with Japan. Not only the segrega-
ton Of japanese from white children in
the schools is aimed at, but also the
exclusion Of japanese laboreTs from COM
petition with white Iaborers. There may
bc room for difference Of opinion as 90
whether segregation is in contravention
of treaty rights, but there can be 10
doubt about the utter impracticability of
excluding the Japanese. as such a policy
would not only violate treaty rights. but
would wreck our longtime friendship
with the Yankees OF the orient and deal
a crushing blow to our ambitious trade
projects in the far East. We have no
idea that the exclusion agitation will re-
cetve a moments countenance from the

The Firemen Deserve Consideration.

The appeal of the firemen for a scheduls
which viii allow them little more lIb-
erty ought 10 be needed by the authorities
These men deserve every consideration.
All that they ask is that they shall be
allowed twenty-four hours of in every
four days and one night of in every
twelve days.
The Washington fire department is an
efficient, well-managed institution, ad-
ministered by veteran fireman who has
experience. and who daily manifests IN
telligcnce and fidelity. Under his direction
the force has, thus far. been equal to all
emergencies. and there Is no reason TO
doubt a continuance of its splendid ser
vice. In some unexplained manner, how
ever, the force has been neglected. II Is
small in number. and, with the exception
Of few new structures, is badly housed
There was not even any movement for an
Increased pay for the men until after the
effort to raise the salaries Of the police
men had taken definite shape. II may
be that the freedom from disastrous fires
which Washington has always enjoyed
has dulled The keenness Of our depend
enee upon these men. but surely even
this does not explain the negligence Of
the authorities.
In the present case it Is said that the
desired leave cannot be granted because
of the inadcquacy Of the force. Il seems
10 us that this excuse. now made for the
first time. could have been obviated long
ago by an appeal 10 Congress. We hope
that the matter will be presented at the
next session with proper emphasis, and
that the result will be satisfactory.
