Bringing Business.

Trade is. a matter of tide, not of
shooting stars. Therefore, the de-
termination of the retail trade COM
mittee of the Chamber OF Commerce
that its campaign of last December
shall be only a beginning, and not a
spasn, promises real benefit TO
Washington.
The showing Of the special secre-
tary at last nights meeting was
that S2,6s9 "a new business was
brought To the city by its first
trade excursion; and that sum, in
Nolving refunded fares of about S115,
took no account of hundreds of
small purchases too small to war
rant rebates. Thirty-two towns
were represented in the custom re-
ported.
Boiled down, this means that a
considerable volume Of business has
been started toward this city from
four States which have regularly
done all their buying somewhere
else.
The thing 20 do now is to keep
these new-found customers; TO
maintain a steady campaign to get
new ones, and legitimately to turn
to trade account every natural ad-
vantage which Washington pos
sesses. The chief lever TO work
with is advertising. But there must
be ginger and steadiness behind the
advertising.

distinctive feature was the strong
and cheerful note of the unwaver-
ing optiLlist: Our people are ener-
getic and resourceful. They are
neither inert, base, nor corrupt.
They are intelligent and honest.
Humanity in America is at its very
best has never attained a high

achievement. ia any nation"
a typical illustration of the ideals
Of government outlined by Cover
nor Hughes IS to be found in his
reference to the railroad situation.
1t is not to be denied, says the
Governor, that the railroads are
public enterprises operating under
public authority; that. therefore,
they are subject to government
regulation. and. in view of certain
well-known and clearly established
abuses, must continue to be; that
as creatures of the state they must
not dominate the government. But,
nevertheless, that grievances may
be settled, unfair determinations
avoided, reasonable and impartial
service secured, without committing
On the other hand the egregious
blunder OF sitting needed enter
prise, it is essential that the facts
should be understood, that COM
plants should be rescued from
fruitless agitation, and that through
proper machinery opportunity
should be afforded to ascertain the
truth and to mete out justice
according to the facts. The con-
Germs of these great business are too
closely related to the welfare of
the people in their thousandfold
activities TO permit them to become
the subject Of arbitrary action"
Such temperate and thoughtful
sentiments must commend them
selves TO the friends of both order
and progress, of law and enterprise.

BOgieS No Longer.

Two days ahead of time the bat
tleship fleet rode at anchor in Mag
daIena bay, Lower California, only
little more than two days sail
from the nearest American seaport
of any consequence, San Diego. Ac-
cording to the original program, the
feet will remain in Mexican waters
for month, the object being TO
give the gunners some target prae-
tice.
The most important point to be
made in connection with the arrival
of the armada in North American
waters is the change that has come
over popular sentiment in the last
few months. When the ships left
Hampton Roads there was more or
| less serious discussion of the likeli-
hood of war with Japan. One of the
New England Congressman, for ex-
ample, went so far as to say at a
public meeting that Washington
would breathe easier when the feet
was in the Pacific; and that the
danger lay in the possibility that
/ japan would strike before the feet
passed through the Strait of Ma
/ gellan. Uuquestionably the public
mind was feverish, Hobson and
other energetic jingoes were stir
ring up support for big battleshiE
and coast defense programs, and
talking of the inevitable conflict; -
and all this acknowledgement discus
sion reflected itself upon the popu-
lar mind. and caused much unrest
especially on the Pacific coast
where every japanese hallboy or
valet is suspected Of being a spy
But now the Battle Fleet is near
ing the Pacific coast, and there is an
utter aud welcome absence of wal
talk. Before it was: Secretary
Taft is doing his best TO ridicule the
reports 20 the effect that the errand
of Admiral Evans ships is war, not
Deace: but the reports Will not
down" Now it is: Secretary Taft
repudiates the report from Colum-
bus to the effect that if elected he
would abandon the Roosevelt poll

A Time to Hustle.

a public utilities bill providing for
a new branch Of the District gov
eminent has been drafted by Chair
man Smith, of the House Committee
on the District Of Columbia. By
its terms three experts are to be
named by the President as commits
sioners, paid salaries or $500 a
year each, and authorized to main
tain complete and authoritative SUI
pervision over all the public service
corporations of this jurisdiction.
No one who has read The Times
this past year viii doubt that it
fayors the creation of such author
itv. No one who has read it with
an open mind is likely to question
the need for that authority. Nor
is The Times inclined to interpose
objections because Chairman Smith
would have a separate commission,
and not equip the Board Of District
Commissioners for that duty,
though 1t Is the Judgment OF this
paper that the latter would be the
better course.
But there is Iced now to empha-
size this:
That all the bills chairmen may
draft, all that other Congressman
may introduce, viii have no more
weight than so many stump
speeches if one of them is not made
law; and the way to make them law
IS 10 arrange now that one of them
shall have a sufficiently wide right
of way to the floor of each house.
The House District Committee is
TO meet next Thursday. If it con-
siders Mr.. Smiths bill then it can
hardly hope to get it through the
House before the following Monday
week-that S to say, on March 30
By that time the Senate viii be
making ready to close its calendar
A week of further delay might kill
the whole project. The only way
10 make sure is 10 take up Chair
man Smiths bill or some other, and
push it-push it until the shoulders

.KITTREDGE LOSSES

South Dakota Man Violated
Traditions by Opposing
Colleague.

REPORTS from South Dakota indicat-

3. Eittredge Of that State for re-elec-

tersst in Senatorial circles The night
between tho two South Dakota Sena-
tors for their political lives has been
IN some ways a most unusual one.
Tarre IS a fine old tradition o; the
Senate that it Is exceeding bad form
for a Senator to be party 10 the ef-
fort to defeat his colleague. One Sena-
tor is not expected to worry himself
about helping his colleague get re-elect-
ed. If he doesn't want TO do so; but II
is bad manners to become part TO any
effort TO defeat a colleague.
So II was that when two years ago
Senator Kittredge organized things IN
South Dakota to retire Senator Gambl1.
who was not onlyshis colleague. but his
senior. there was small sympathy for
lLittredge- Senator's don't Ike 10 en-

Iittredge failed and Gamble was re-

Senator Gamble, IN casting about fcf
alliances to save his own lite, tied up

the state, and together they made the
night. His ally became the party's nomi-
nee for governor. on reform platform
He was elected, and became a candidate
for Senator against Kittredge, whose
term will expire at the close Of the
present year.
K}ttredge lost control Of the State or
ganizaton as a result OF last year :
fgLt. and the two Representatives from
the state, who were his allies, were
beaten along with him. This years fight
seems now TO have reached the point
where the election of Governor Craw-
