Building Operations in washington.

A vast amount of money Is now being
expended in Washington in building oper7
ations. For the year the aggregate out
lay, 1t Is stated. will reach s15,00oeOo Any
interruption of these operations would,
therefore. entail heavy loss. Fortunately,
fine headway has been made in all direc-
tions. Nothing has occurred 10 seriously
retard the work under way.
Amicable relation between employer
and employe makes for the general good.
The city's development helps everybody.
Labor and capital both are primarily IN
terested IN it. Any movement that tends
to conserve peace and harmony; that has
for It's object fair dealing and the main
tenance Of good relations between en-
ployer and employe; that aims to bring
about prompt and equitable adjustment OF
any differences that may arise-any such
movement is worthy Of commendation.
Such are the objects. we are Informed, Of
the Employers Association of the Build
ing Trades Of the District in creating a
board Of governors to deal with questions
affecting building operations. The gen
uemen named are representative citizens,
men Of affairs, who may safely be count
ed upon 10 act with wisdom and absolute
fairness. Labor asks no more than this
we are sure, and so the movement prom
ises well for the general good Of the com
munity

THE ISLE OF PINES DECISION.
Opinion of Chief Justice Fuller Is
Warmly Commended.


The Supreme Court made short work
Of the contention that the Isle Of Pines
is not a part of Cuba, or that it was re-
tanned in the possession of this country
when the rest of Cuba was turned over
To the people OF Cuba
Ia the opinion handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller it is remarked that "all the
world knew that it was an integral part
Of Cuba" and that the acts Of our gov
ernment justify the assumption that it
was always treated by this country as
an integral part OF cuba. Thus the
ground is cut from beneath the case Of
the Isle Of Pines boomers in every direc-
tiou.
Although two of the justices dissented
from the courts position with regard to
the effect Of the Platt amendment. they
cOncurred in the decision with regard 70
the Isle OF Pines. Thus an effectual
quietus is put upon an audacious and
cynical attempt 10 hlch from cuba ter
rt0ry that has always been as much a
part OF that country as Coney Island is
of New York. Impudence could not 60
farther than in the contention that was
raised IN regard 20 the territorial status
OF the Isle Of Pines Tie scheme Of par
titiou obtained some l0dgment in iegisla-
tive reservation Of the question. but the
/ executive department never gave il any
c0untenauce, and the decision OF the Su-
+ pTeme Court now settles the matter for
good and all Some spectators may be
chagrined and discounted but that will
not lessen public satisfaction with the
/ result
The Washington herald., 1907-04-15

Of the company. In that case he asked,
would not the commission have power
to 20 into all the conditions OF the road,
into the condition Of the treasury, in or
der 20 hx rates? HarTiman's counsel re-
Joined that that was not "A Federal ques-
ton. The Federal courts had no power
to indiet or try for such an offense; and
50 it remained with the State to protect
stockholders and the public. What a
State is able to do with Hartman finan-
eiering is shown by the report of the
attorney general of Illinois. who says
that, although the issue Of Chicago and
Alton bonds by the Hartman syndicate
was in violation OF the State constitu-
ton, no action could be taken without
jeopardizing the interests of innocent
stockholders To this lame and impotent
conclusion are we reduced-that a Wall
street railway financier may violate the
constitution and laws of a State with
impunity, and that the Federal govern
ment has no right to inquire into the
transaction, even though the overissued
securities were unloaded upon an inter-
state railroad.
If the Federal courts do not sustain the
contention of the Interstate Commeree
Commission that a railroad company can
not buy and sell stocks, and then set up
the plea that such transactions are in nc
way related to interstate commerce, ther
it will become obvious that further Iegis-
lation is needed to give the commission
lot only power TO inquire into such
/ transactions, but also to supervise anc
! regulate them, as is proposed by the pub
/ lie utilities bill now before the New Yorh
! legislature. To regard the overissue OF
/ $50. 000 OF stocks and bonds, as in the
Alton deal. a large portion of which was
marketed with other railroads at a fine
profit TO the promoters, as not a Fedora
! question is inconsistent with any effective
/ degree of Federal control of railroads
/ It will have to be made a Federal ques
ton if the evils Of overcapitaIization are
/ to be prevented.

HARD ON THE DISTRICT.
Western Paper Thinks Appointment
OF Tyler Il Unjust.

Prom the St. Louis Republic
One great misfortune of Washington
City is that il cannot make effective its
protest against Objectionable appoint
ments within lis limits
Having no right 10 vote upon any sub
5ect, and being under the exclusive juris-
diction Of Congress, the people of Wash
ington must submit to anything which
Congress and the President deem expe-
dient for the political welfare Of the party
in power.
The appointment Of negroes to high
places ia the departments and in the gov
ernmeHt Of the District of Columbia is no
more relished by the people of the Dis
trict than the appointment OF negro 10
the collectorship OF customs is liked by
the people OF Charleston. 5. c.
But it would do no good for the in
habitants OF the District TO make a row
about it. so they keep quiet. or vent their
displeasure in more or less private talk.
The District belongs to the government,
and Sir. Roosevelt has already said, in
effect that the government belongs to
the President. If it becomes necessary
for him TO trump any more of Foraker 5
tricks in the game for the negro vote it
may be expected that more negro politi-
clans will be called from one State or
another to accept good Jobs in the de-
partments or in the District government.
The effect upon the large negro popu-
latiOn of Washington would not promote
harmony in their relations with the
whites. But the President must have
negro votes in next years convention.
even II he has TO bid for them with half
the offices in Washington.
The Washington herald., 1907-04-15
4 Question OF FederaI control.

The proceedings. soon to be begun by
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
the Federal courts TO compel Z. II. Har-
riman to divulge the facts concerning
the stock transactions involved I'm his
railroad fnanciering will determine an
important point with regard to the ex-
tent Of Federal jurisdiction over sroti
operations. Counsel for Hartman, in
the hearing before the commission, set
up the plea that his buying and selling Of
railroad stocks. though the resources OF
railroad corporations Of which ne was
executive officer were employed in the
deals. was wholly an individual matter.
and not an interstate commerce trans
action into which the commission might
inquire. Chairman Knapp. Of the COM
mission. asked this question:
But can it be said that these are the trznsac-
tons OF private individuals May tho executive
officers Of the railroad company purchase stock Of
another railroad COMPANY snd then sell that stock
10 the company through the executive officers and
preclude inquiry into the TRANSACTION because they
are private indivdualsl"
To this counsel for Hartman replied
that such a transaction was not inter
state commerce from any conceivable
point OF view. and so not a subject into
which the commission had any authority
10 inquire. He suggested. furthermore,
that it might be a matter relating wholly
10 a railroad Of state creation and State
regulation, and so outside the domain OF
the commission. This led one OF the gov
ernment counsel 10 conceive an Instance
where the treasury OF a railroad company
had been deliberately looted by an officer
The Washington herald., 1907-04-15

From the Birmingham News.
The editor of the Mobile Register has
Just had a close look at Senator TilIman.
has heard him deliver his famous race
problem lecture, and has talked with him
and concludes that the South Carolina
Senator is not as wild and woolly" as he
is painted. He says that Tillman's words
sound worse IN print than they do fresh
from his lips. but he concludes that the
Senator is honest and deeply in earnest.
Many others who have come to know
Tillman better have modified. If not COM
pletely changed, their views regarding
him. He is d man OF force and conviction
and IS certainly beyond the reach Of graft
ers. And he speaks out in the meeting, ''
too.

BedIoe Has Returned.

sencc OF two or three months Dr. Bedloe
has circumnavigated the earth more times
probably than any other WashiHgtonian.
Where his last peTegrinations led him TO
lie declines TO state, but that he has
been in some soft climate IS indicated by
the glow Of health upon his cheek. AT
this time last year he was far up on the
Nile and spent several weeks on the
Riviera as he was returning home. AS

I friends suspect that be has just returned

tine quality of Chinese DE is speaking at

A Reciprocal Arrangement.

From the New York World.
The Hendricks Club. Of Evansville,
Ind. has the proper sense OF humoT. If
John Temple Graves, of Georgia, is right
In urging that Mr. Bryan nominate Pres
ident Roosevelt in 1908, what could be
more fitting than that President Roose-
welt should reciprocate by nominal
ing Mr.. Bryan. President Roosevelt
and his party have proited so largely
by Mr.. Bryan's teachings that as a mat
ter both of courtesy and justice. some
recognition should be made of their debt
Then AIr. Bryans nomination would
make President Roosevelt's reelection
doubly sure.

IN a commission Of limited numbers Is in
the way Of being given extensive trial In
Iowa. The legislature OF that State has
Just enacted a law providing such plan
for all cities OF not less than $500 popu-
lation. under a local option arrangement
Ten per cent Of the voters Of any such
city may by petition compel the submis-
sion to popular vote Of the question OF
accepting or rejecting the plan, or of
abandoning it after it has been given a
trial. The scheme provides for the cleo
ton Of mayor and four councilmen-at-
large on ballot containing no party des-
gnations. These five officials are 10 exeT-
else ali powers now vested IN mayor, city
council. and administrative boards. The
government Is divided into five admins
trative branches with one Of these
officials at the head OF each. while the five
officials together constitute a legislative
department whose meetings must be open
20 the public. Franchise ordinances must
be submitted TO popular vote IN all cases,
and on petition Of Z5 per cent Of the
voters any measure OF public policy,
whether adopted by the commissioners or
refused. their adoption must be submitted
to the people and given "A majority vote
10 obtain force and effect.
There are eight cities In Iowa which
under the present act may adopt this plan
Of gOyernment-the largest being Des
Moines. with a population about equa! 70
that of Springfield. There was little Oppo-
sition ia the legislature 10 this enactment,
and it is to be presumed that some one
OF more Of these cities VIII soon make the
experiment, and we may be sure that It
viii receive much interested attention
from outside the state. II Is TO be noted
meanwhile that the plan as submitted in
Iowa provides a form of local government
essentially the very opposite Of an auto
cratic or 0lgarchic form. st is IN the
highest degree democratic. While the ad-
ministration Of government is given over
70 five men directly responsible to the peo-
pie. the latter are brought into close and
direct control of legislation OF public pol
icy. People here in Massachusetts who
are opposing The sO-called public-Opiniou
bill as a revolutionary and dangerous
measure ought to fall into rawlings Of de-
spair over this sweeping concession 20 the
principle Of pure democracy, which ''the
Massachusetts OF the West is making in
the government OF its cities. It is an
interesting sign OF the times.
