Front!

We will not attempt to explain why
hotel men are invariably good fellows y
We merely assert that such is fact, and
apologize to our readers for being so
trite. The circumstance that large num-
bers of the genus from all over the coun-
try are now in Washington, and that we
desire to have them know that their
merits are properly appraised and appre-
ciated, is our only excuse.
The visiting bonifaces will commence a
meeting Of Their organization to-day, but
they will not permit business TO prevent
their active participation in various social
events which have been arranged for
their benefit. This. of course. Is as II
should be. for, otherwise. the Capital
might not have an adequate opportunity
to show the visitors what il thinks Of
them. II they do not Ike Washington as
well as Washington likes them by the
time they depart. we VIII admit our fail
ure as a prophet. Indeed, the state Of
mind in which they will return 20 their
respective homes doubtless viii be such
as VIII impel all of them TO reduce their
prices, if not. forsooth. TO entertain the
public gratis.
However this may be, the hotel men
are welcome. We only voice the senti-
ment Of Washington when we tell them
that the city is theirs, and invite them to
help themselves.

States and the Railroads.

/ The season Of State legislation intended
to regulate the railroads Is about closed.
| 1t has afforded many an ambitious states
man an opportunity to please the ear of
his proud constituent with sonorous
philippics against the transportation cor
tporations, and to start said statesman on
| a career Of greater usefulness. But the
railroads are about where they were
when all the clamor at the national and
State capitals was started
The anti-rebate law, a matter with
which State legislators or courts have
nothing whatever TO do, is being enforced
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
and the railroads themselves say its en-
forcement is benefiting them about as
much as the public The anti-rebate law
was enacted some time before the mighty
noise over regulation which finally re.
suited in the Dolliver-Hepburn law was
started, and preceded by two or three
years the recrudescence Of popular fury
at State capitals against the railroads.
This statute is commonly known as the
Elkins act. Its author is none other than
our engaging friend, Joseph Benson Fora
ker.
Agitation for the reduction Of intra-
state passenger rates has resulted in
practical results Of more or less i'm
portance in one-third Of the States Of the
Union. Naturally, the railroads fought
this agitation, but it is to be doubted
that they exerted their utmost endeavors
against it. Had they done so, we make
bold TO venture the assertion that the
States in which local passenger rates
have been reduced from the old Scent
basis would be fewer than is shown in
the appended list:
Pennsylvania-Twocent bill passed by the house
only
Ohio-Two-cent law enacted last year.
West Yirginia-Tuo-cent bill passed.
North Carolina-TEoand-a-qu a-quarter-cent bill passed
Alabama-Two-and-a-half bill passed
Arkansas-Two-cent bill passed.
Kansas-Two-cent bill passed
Nebraska-Ts ~ cent bill passed.
North Dakota-Twoand-a-ha bill passed.
South Dakota-Railroad commission authorized To
order tWo-snd-a-haf-cent rate
Iniiana-Twocent bill passed.
nlinois-Two-cent bill passed the house.
Missouri-Two-ceut bill passed
Iowa-Two-cent bill passed applying only TO roads
earning 5000 year gross per mile
Mimesota-Two-cent bill nov pending
Wisconsin-Rate Of tWoand-a-haf cents fixed BY
railroad commission.
Te1as-TwOcent bill killed
II may be somewhat pertinent TO OBJ
serve that the majority of the 2-cent
States are Republican strongholds.

4 Sound and Sensible suggestion.

Along with numerous faults, Benjamin
Ryan Tiliman possesses a very consider
able quantity Of that commodity known
as common sense. He lost no part of his
reputation as a level-headed man-assum-
ing conditions OF quiet and calm-when
he told a reporter at Atlanta that, since
the nomination Of Mr. Bryan seems GER
tain. a substantial Southern man should
be named for the second place on the
Ticket If the Democrats apply this sug-
gestion next year, We feel fully justified
in predicting that the party will gain
much and lose nothing in consequence.
Senator Tillman suggested his col
leagues, Senators Culberson, Of Texas.
and Daniel. Of Virginia, and Governor
elect Smith. of Georgia, as proper per-
sons for the Vice Presidential nominal
tion. All three are good men. and of
course. the South contains others the
nomination Of whom would not only ben
eft the party in a practical way, but
help remove from it the stains ii bears
by reason Of past performances.
There is agreement with Senator TILL
mans assertion 70 the effect that the
time is not opportune for the nomination
OF a Southern man for President, and,
assuming the accuracy Of that view, we
think it follows naturally that the thing
for the Democrats 10 do is to put a
Southerner in the second place. AS Sen
at0r TIlman remarks, il is time for the
party 10 stop running obsolete million
aires for Vice President" The South IS
solidly Democratic. always has been. and
Will continue to be for some considerable
time at least. For that reason and 9TH
ers, it deserves recognition.
The South Carolinian's opinions regard
ing Mr.. Bryan appear TO be exactly in
line with Southern sentiment generally.
Mr.. Bryan seems to be the only logical
man, says the Senator. Then he pro.
ceeds to remark on the Nebraskan's abl-
ity and clean record, and concludes with
the statement to which practically
every Southern Democrat. and most Of
those in other parts of the country, will
subscribe - that Il do not sympathize
with his theory Of government owner
ship" In other words, a very large ma
jority Of the party appears 10 regard Mr..
Bryan as the most available candidate, in
spite of the government ownership handi-
cap, which, if tentative plans are car
ried out, viii be kept as far in the back
ground as possible.

OVER ELABORATE PLAN.
Mr. Reynolds Academic Ideas About
the District of Columbia.
From the Baltimore News.

From the Baltimore News.
The present system Of local government
in the District OF Columbia came about
much I'm the same way as the Galveston
plan. Il was introduced as a necessary
eSpedient under stress Of intolerable cir
Icumstances compelling action Of some
kind. A government on the ordinary ter
ritOrial pattern by a governor and a Iegis-
lature had broken down in complete dis
grace. and Congress wiped il out. provid-
ing FOR necessary administration By turn
ing over the control 10 a commission Of
three members to be appointed by the
President. This deliverance from a sys-
TEN OF pillage under forms Of law was so
gratifying in its practical results that II
has ever since been retained despite the
curious anomaly, which has been a mark
for satire, that the Capital Of the republic
| is the only civilized city in the world
without any system of self-government
or any exercise Of suffrage by its citizens.
Mr.. James 3. Reynolds. who was em-
ployed by the President 10 investigate the
subject of possible improvements on the
existing plan. has submitted report rec
ommending important changes. Mr.. Rey-
| |nolds proposes a more elaborate organiza-
tion along the same lines that have been
followed with marked success thus far.
He suggests the creation Of the office of
governor, and also the creation Of seven
departments. al the head OF each OF which
will be commissioner to be appointed by
Ho
governor. These commissioners are 10
constitute a council with power to enact
ordinances subject TO the approval Of the
governor. 1t is further proposed that an
advisory committee Of 100 he appointed by
the President. TO be composed of repre-
Isentatives Of all elements and to express
the varied interests Of the District. a
very interesting recommendation made by
Mr. Reynolds is that eligibility to the Of
flee Of governor ought not to be confined
20 residents Of the District. but that the
President should be free to consider the
availability Of men who have shown their
executive ability by good service as mayor
in any city Of the country
The scheme. while It presents matter fer
thoughtful consideration. seems over
elaborate and rather academic The idea
OF having a civic committee Of 1C0 as an
adjunct Of the government looks like an
attempt TO provide a substitute for repre-
sentative institutions, bat il does not seem
to be we'll conceived. Two sets Of ap-
pointed bodies introduce cOmplexity with
out any corresponding advantage that is
at all apparent The assumption is made
that the recommendations Of such a body
would have great weight with the admin
istrative officers Of the District: but that
does not necessarily follow Large bodies
which can only tender advice and do that
without being subject to responsibility for
consequences are more apt to be trouble

people of the District. acting through their

Ing well-spiced and juicy lemon:

Alas, that so good a friend should sus-

gency! The Washington Herald has no
desire to escape this, or any other
grave and weighty issue. Though only
seven short months of age, The Herald

To Confer on Trusts.

The National Civic Federation has
called a trust conference 10 meet in Chi
cago September 1925. next, to discuss
various phases Of governmental regula-
ton and restriction Of corporations and
combinations in transportation, produc-
ton. distribution, and labor. Twenty-Five
State governors have appointed dele
gates 10 this conference, and fourteen
others have signifed their willingness to
do so.
AS the trust question promises TO be as
near a paramount issue as can be pro-
cured for the next Presidential cam
paign-Mr. Bryan thinks so, although he
finds it impossible 70 say in Just what
form the issue will present itself-the pro-
posed conference will meet at a time
when its deliberations and conclusions
cannot fail to command public interest,
whether It be able to agree on any ap-
proximate solution Of the trust problem or
not. No political or economic question of
our time is so badly in need Of clear
elucidatiOn and constructive consIdera-
ton. Our States are pursuing variant
treating them with tolerance, others at
tempting differing degrees Of regulation,
while a few try prohibition and destruc-
ton. The national government is en-
gagged In breaking down certain great
capitalized combinations. at the same
time apparently wholly ignoring the
operations Of others. The Federal stat
ute under which trust prosecutions are
proceeding Is believed by President
Roosevelt and others to be IN need Of
amendment, as antagonistic to a normal
centralized industrial development which
the government should not forbid or dis
courage if such development may be
shOrn Of its evils by more intelligent leg
islation and made TO subserve the pub
tic good.
In fact, the whole problem Of trust
legislation, on its constructive side, is
in a state Of fux. OF destructive criti-
cism of trust and corporation methods we
have an immense volume. What is most
needed now IS truer conception Of the
legitimate functions Of both the govern
ment and the trusts. and of the proper
relations which may be established be-
tween the two without endangering the
stability Of industry or the fabric Of our
political institutions If the Chicago con-
ference can contribute aught of value to
this phase Of the trust question. it may
accomplish a useful purpose

The Chamber Of Commerce.

All Washington must feel elated over
the magnificent start made by the Cham
Der Of Commerce. It is a promising sign
Of the times. revealing a progressive and
vigorous spirit, an enthusiastic deter
mination to pull together and do things.
Il is a representative body in the highest
degree-representative Of the newer and
the greater Washington, and organized
upon a basis that must mean splendid
achievements for the Capital. The out
pouring Of men of affairs attendant upon
the formal organization would have been
creditable to any city. President Harper 5
inaugural or Introductory address was
pitched in the right key-a broad-mlnded
utterance from a wide-awake. public
spirited man; and the choice OF the first
board Of directors was especially for
tunate, not only in personnel, but in it's
widely representative character A mis-
take could not well have been made. as
matter Of fact. with the exceptionally
strong roll Of names presented.
A Chamber of Commerce building which
will provide a meeting place for business
men. with some club features attached
which has long been needed here-already
seems in sight II 10 this be added-as the
members are discussing-an auditorium
capable Of accommodating large func-
tions, including the inaugural ball, the
Chamber of Commerce Will be doing
something for the whole country as well
as the city.
The Washington Herald extends its
heartiest congratulations to President
Harper, his official associates. and the en-
tire membership. Il congrstulates the
community also.
