they are now. They are compelled by the
proposed legislation to expend large sums
in changes which will not of themselves net
any profit. but will merely represent an in
crease in cost.
The traction companies are asking for the
passage of the bill because they realize
that the public needs the improved accom-
modations. They have compromised their
original differences and have agreed upon a
scheme of routes that will most equtably
give access to the station to their various
lines and most fully meet the requirements
OF the people. Their plea for early enact
ment is based upon the fact that until the
bill becomes law they cannot know to a
certainty the routes TO be followed. the
curves to be involved and the character and
quantity of the steel to be required. They
are aware that many months must elapse
between the ordering and the delivery of the
materials. 50 consested are the mills with
orders. The work can not be rushed. In
some places notably on the plaza and the
approaches. where the grades have been
raised the character of the ground in
wolves special foundations. which will call
for considerable preparation.
Therefore every month now lost sets back
this work seriously. 1t is almost impossible
to make up the lost time. If the Senate
had concurred in the House bill before the
holiday adjournment two weeks at least
would have been saved. There is now no
assurance that the incomprehersibie oppo-
stion to this legislation will yield even af-
ter the holidays without time-consuming
debate. The situation is deplorable, in view
of the fact that if action is not had
promptly the public will be put to a very
serious Inconvenience when the union sta
ton is finished and the street car lines con-
tinue to run, as now at a considerable
distance from the terminal. 1t will be I'M
fortunate if this lapse occurs. especially
in view of the fact that the traction COM
panies have been standing ready for
months to undertake this costly, unremu-
nerGtive work for the public benefit.

Street Cars and the Union stat;on

IL IS unfortunate that a disposition pre-
walls In the Senate to prolong the debate
ON the bill providing for changes in the
street car routes to insure a convenient
system OF rapid transit to and from the
union station in this city. This bill should
have been passed two winters ago. II
was then delayed for one reason and
another and went over until last session
HAD II been then passed there would have
been no more than a sufficient margin Of
time to enable the traction companies 10
secure the steel and DO the work of track
laying in season for the station openipy
The bill was utilized. however as a vehicle
for the proposal of certain unusual taxa
ton projects and its enactment was rem
dered impossible at that time Thus VAIN
able time was lost. The bill again wen,
over and yesterday il was called I'M in
the Senate and briefly discussed only to he
withdrawn temporarily when it became
apparent that there was opposition The
opportunity to secure action before the
holidays practically lost. and more
precious time was wasted.
In the consideration OF this bill it must
be borne in mind that it is not drawn in the
interest of the traction companies but in
that OF the public. 1t is undoubtedly. as
urged yesterday by one OF its critics. an
extensive grant OF street space. But this
grant Is solely for the purpose of enabling
the patrons of the steam railroads enter
Ing Washington to reach and leave the
station with minimum OF delay and
Inconvenience. If the bill does not pass
the electric lines will run as at present.
and the people viii be compelled to walk
to the station from the street cars and
vice versa. The traction companies will do
very little, II any, more business with the.r
routes amended to bring them closer to the
station than they will do IL they are left as

The japanese in California.

Politics is looking up. Pickets on both
sides are alert, and every manifestation. or
supposed manifestation. of tho enemy is
promptly reported
The latest news from the front is that the
President is in full retreat on the Japanese
question, and Secretary Root on the ques-
ton of centraliz ton. No Japanese children.
we are told, will be forced into the schools
of San Francisco at the point of the bayo-
net, and the states are not to be deprived of
all their powers. 1t was only necessary for
the people to think little. The President
and his premier have learned lesson. At
least We are told so by the opposition.
Mr. Root seems to be more amused than
paric-stricken by the reports in his case
He wonders why those who condemn his
latest speech do not take the trouble to
read it. In making it he had no thought of
wping out the Constitution and writing a
new one based on a rejection of adj state
rights. On the contrary he nudged the
states about their neglect of their powers,
and suggested that they wake up
In the case of the President he puts the
Japanese affair in his special message upon
firm and excellent ground Whatever his
previous information may have been-and
1t is not likely that it was confined to the
school materials present informa ton col
lected by the California member of the cabi-
net shows that he did not move too soon in
the premises. The trouble was of a kind
CALM for his attention. Boycotting the le-
Sitimate business of Japanese had been
followed by smashing the windows of their
houses and stoning them on the streets. and
that sort of thing in city still disorga niZed
as the result of an earthquake might easily
have led to an anti-Japanese riot. Had such
an extreme been reached it is plainly to be
seen that the nation would have been face
to face with a most lamenta Bile and embar-
RAISING situation. 80
Secretary MetCalf is to be congra tulated
upon the tlsoroughness of his investigation
and the character of his report There
were people who thought he would play
politics with his co:nmss.on-that is to say
would sound the local prejudces at home
and guide by them. So far from doing
that he Intercepted both sides. and by
delivering the President message to the
local officials the subject Of fair treat
ment for the japanese committed himself
to it. 1t was the proper thing for him to
do. but in the circumstances not an easy
thing, and the credit of his performance is
in proportion to his difficulties.

Government Ownership,
From the Springfield Republican.

1t was frankly stated by the Mexican
minister OF finance, in a speech ON Satur-
day, that the government of that country
was prompted to take over the two great
railroad lines of Mexico-the Central and
Nationality the fear that these properties
would otherwise be merged into some of
the great railroad combinations in the
United States. That country in other
words. did not intend that it's transports
ton systems should be controlled and Oh
Grated by foreign high financiers or for the
benefit of alien monopolists. So we ara To
have large experience in government
ownership and operation of railroads in
plain sight.

And So It Is.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

The American idea of marriage and
divorce has grown altogether too f1ippant.
The divorce courts are filled from one
years end to another with cases based on
frivolous charges. arising from hot tempers
and connubsal sFSats which, in the light of
cooler reason would be laughed at by the
angry participants and forgotten. The ease
with which divorce may be secured leads
many married couples to seek it in mo-
ments of temporary irritation, and once
the proceeding is started, a false pride.
vanity or stubbornness prevents the with
dawal of the suit and a separation and per-
haps life time of regret is the result.
