Umbrella Sheds and Smoke.

In connection with the announcement that
the Commissioners have given their ap-
prevail to the umbrella type Of train shed
for use at the new union station The Star
yesterday printed the following In its news
columns:
1T Is the opinion of Mr.. Burnham and
the railroad Representatives that its opera
ton will have q strong tendency to reduce
the Objectionable gas and smoke odors 50
common in a big railroad station"
This paper has had occasion in the past
to protest against the adoption Of the UNI
brella shed when 1t was urged in it's favor
that 1t would serve to lessen the smoke and
gas nuisance, to the passengers. on the
ground that It would thereby permit con-
tinuance OF the smoke evil as a menace to
the general health and the attractiveness
of the city. The Star has held that the
surest way to abate the smoke evil as far
as it affects passengers L. to eliminate it
altogether.
1t is true that the umbrella shed system
will permit the immediate escape into the
air of all the smoke and gas emitted by the
locomotives at the terminal This means
the constant outflow of dense volumes of
discoloring. air-polluting yapors in close
proximity to the station building itself. and
within fouing range Of the Capitol. the LII

Ike Hill Confidence.

Max Ihmsen is perpetrating one of the
late Ike Hills best jokes. Mr.. Ihmsen
probably heard 1t during his residence in
Washington. Col. Hill used to keep close
eye on all campaigns. and dearly loved to
discuss progress with his friends. Like all
good and fast partisans. he claimed every
thing up to the very end Of the fight. But
when things were not altogether as he
wished them, he would qualify by saying
"Son. we've got 'em If they don't buy us. y
Such is Mr.. Ihmsen's present confidence.
Everything is now all right for Hearst,
but every day brings risk. The republi-
cans may buy the Hearst outfit. Mr..
Ihmsen. knowing the power. breads the
power of money in politics. The campaign.
while full of gravity, is not without humor.
With the Hearst people deploring danger
from money. and Tammany concerned
about the integrity of the ballot boxes, q
gufraw Is guaranteed to everybody.

Seeing Things in Russia.

During the past year or so American
newspapers have had occasion to discuss
the affairs of Russia intimately. They have
considered the details Of the domestic as
we'll as the foreign situation of the cars
empire. With some difficulty they have
untangled the true from the false, as best
they could and presented to their readers
fairly clear and just statement Of the
case. IT, however. they have had no better
understanding of Russian affairs than some
OF the Russian journals have displayed Of
American conditions, they have been seri-
ously in error Here is sample of Rus
sian ignorance of American matters, in a
dispatch from st. Petersburg: ..,
The Novoe Vremya. in leading article
today Japanese-A American relations, de-
clares that yesterdays friends have be-
gun to quarrel and asserts that AN anti
japanese agitation has been started in the
United States in response to the anti
Americanism in Japan causing a friction
which may easily be famed into war;
There was never chance for war be-
tween Japan and the United States. There
has never been time when the relations
OF the two countries could by the most pes
simistic be construed menacing. Utter
ly lacking a cause of war, the two peoples
have recently found themselves mutually
irritable on account of certain happenings
which have since been reduced to a very
low modicum OF disagreement.
Possibly the Russian newspapers are not
aware that California is only small part
OF the United States. however big a state
In itself. and that the follies of the Cali
fornians in their attitude toward the Jap
anese are repudiated by practically all the
rest OF the American people. Maybe the
news that the government has formally as
sured Japan of its good will and it's regret
at the short-sighted and possibly illegal ac-
ton of California has not penetrated to
st. Petersburg.
Yesterdays dispatches from Toxic bore
a hint of possible explanation of much of
the agitation in Japan against the United
States in a reference to the activities of
emissaries of certain power in exag-
gerating the situation in Japan. Were 1t
not for the fact that Russia has ceased to
enjoy any degree of Asiatic prestige, it
might be warrantable to suspect that these
emissaries speak with a strong Muscovite
accent and swear strange Slavic oaths and
confess to a weakness for vodka. And 1t
may also be true that the wish for war be-
tween Japan and the United States is father
TO the Russian thought.

Breckenridge on the Race Question

The Star prints today an extract from
speech recently delivered by Clifton r.
Breckenridge, ex-member of Congress from
Arkansas, and ex-ambassador to Russia.
at Little Rock at the annual meeting of
the Arkansas Confederate Veterans Asso-
citation. The subject Of the discourse and
the high character of its author give to the
dellverance an unusual value at a time
when men of all sections are awakening to
the most important problem now confront
ing the country.
Mr.. Breckenridge is Of southern birth and
rearing. and a democrat through and
through. Although scarcely more than
lad when the civil war began, he enlisted
on the side Of the confederacy, and served
under his distinguished father, John c.
Breckenridge. He comes of old slave-hold-
ing stock. and therefore has known the
negro both as slave and as free man. He
does not depend on reading or hearsay for
his information. He is high enough In the
social scale and strong enough in the scale
of courage and character to be just even
particularly-to the humblest.
Mr. Breckenridge is not sentimentalist,
but a practical man Of affairs. and Of
large affairs. His service in Congress was
distinguished and his service abroad was
him at that time. His company is that of
man of assured position and high In
telligence. He has studied public ques-
tons from the standpoint of the law, and,
naturally he abhors the mob. He stands
for the law and all that 1t represents. He
knows his people. and fully sympathizes
with their difficulties. His. then. is a strong
voice raised in a good cause, and 1t should
be welcomed by every man. north or south,
who wishes to see order, based upon JUS
tice and right. prevail in this land.
Well aware of the gravity Of the situa-
ton and of the difficulties presented. Mr..
Breckenridge has no cure-all for the pre-
vailing distemper. He is not a quack. who
calls out a nostrum from the housetops.
and shouts defiance to all unwilling to &C
cept it. His confidence goes no further as
yet than that passion and lawlessness and
inhumanity cure nothing. He asks that the
laws that exist be upheld. and strength
ened wherever the growth of crime shows
1t to be necessary. But always the law. 1t
is plain to him, as to many other people.
that by our present course we are. remedy-
ing nothing. but injuring everything
Every man, and particularly every south
ern man, who lends his influence to the
policy urged by Mr.. Breckenridge performs
a service which could not easily be over
valued. 1t is a policy which would shine
in any comparison, but In comparison with
many of the policies advanced from other
sources it shines like the sun at midday.

Stock Up!

The Star sent its Greater Washington"
train into the south for the purpose OF
showing the merchants of that region that
they may here find a convenient market
from which to purchase their supplies.
That was the first step in the education or
the nearer south in the capital city's COM
mercal equipment. The next step has
been to offer inducements to the merchants
TO come to Washington to make their pur-
chases, and it has been taken by the offer
of a refund OF the railroad fares of those
who accept the invitation to purchase their
goods in this market. The Stars PROPOSE
ton to this effect has been for some days
before the public and has already elected
response.
When this enterprise of inducing the
southern merchants to buy their wholesale
and retail supplies in Washington was
launched The Star admonished the local
merchants and jobbers that they must be
prepared to meet the wants of these Gus
toners and provide themselves with ample
stocks in all lines. That this warning was
justified is demonstrated by at least one
experience. the circumstances Of which are
set forth in another column of The Star
today. 1t apears that a southern merchant,
accepting the invitation to come here for his
goods, made several large PURCHASES, anu
then discovered that in order to complete
his list he would have to go on to 'Balti-
more. much to his Inconvenience and
against his wishes. He would have pre-
ferred to get in Washington all he needed
for the seasons trade.
This condition should be remedied. In
order to sell the merchants of the south
their wholesale retail supplies WASH
ington must have them to sell. 1t must
complete its equipment as jobbing CEN
ter. as a distributing point for. the wide
area to the south. west and north. or
which it is naturally a trade focus. 1t Is
expected that the invitation to come here
TO buy will be accepted increasingly as the
days pass and the advantages Of trading
so near at home are made plain to the
merchants of that territory. Washington
must not be found wanting when its GUS
TONERS come.

brary of Congress and the two congress
sfonal Office buildings. It means the main
tenance of smoke nuisance OF serious pro-
portions.
In SO far as the umbrella shed Is designed
as a smoke palliative from the passenger
point OF view. it Is highly Objectionable to
the public at large. II that Is Its only
merit, the sooner the Commissioners re-
scind their action of yesterday and refuse
their consent to its adoption the better for
Washington. Commissioner Mcfarland re-
Gently declared his belief that the railroads
should adopt electricity to prevent the poll
luton OF the air in the tunnei. He spoke
in that connection in favor Of a smokeless
terminal. Why should the Commissioners.
by approving the umbrella shed. thereby
encourage the continued use of soft-coal
burning locomotives and the continued pol
luton Of the atmosphere?

Recommendation to Congress by the pos
tai department Of a substantial increase of
clerks salaries and a paving Of the way
to higher pay for letter-carriers is likely
to meet with little opposition. In no branch
Of the public service is work so faithfully
done as by these employees. For them the
cost of living has advanced quite as fast
as for other wage-earners. with no COM
pensating increase in earning capacity and
no opportunity to enforce a righteous de-
mand. AS a matter of fact the postal en-
ployes are worse of than they were five
years ago. No one will begrudge them the
promised increase Of pay.
