NOT SIMPLY A QUESTION OF
ONE-MAN RULE.

Our two business bodies have under
taken an investigation of the premises
upon which the President bases his
recommendation of a change in the
form of our District government Both
the Board of Trade and the Chamber
of Commerce have put the work in the
hands OF committees of representative
citizens. That the work vii! be well
and impartially done no one who knows
the men chosen viii seriously doubt.
But the subject Is not as simple as
it seems. 1t Is not a one-part qUes-
tion. The field Of the inquiry is not
expressed in this alone:
Do present conditions indicate a need
for change, and if so, should it be
from the Commission form of govern
men TO One-man rule?
1t includes also this:
Is the present the time for urging
that change, even if there appear Tea-
sons in support of it?
If the second question Is to be an
swered NO" then these two bodies ot

one of them told of Plumb's efforts to
get Kansans appointed to good jobs

MORE CHRISTMAS TREES

sGeves, too. that he is expected to do it
in his own way and with his own in
strumentalities He doesn't want TO
inherit both policy and a Cabinet;
and so it is getting plain that the pro
portion Of personality reminiscent OF
the Roosevelt Administration, which
swilI hold over to the Taft Administra-
.tiou. will be mighty small. Apparently
there will be two men who have held
Cabinet posts under Roosevelt: Knox

CASTRO CAN WATCH TROU.
BILE FROH. AFFAIR.

The statesmen Of Europe have a
habit when an embarrassing situation
arises at home TO try to distract stten-
tiOn by stirring up trouble abroad.
They find there Is nothing like r war
cloud" to take the public mind off of
home affairs Our own statesmen have
not acquired the custom; neverthe-
less, we are thankful that it is HoI-
land that Is trying to chastise Presi-
dent Castro of Venezuela for his many
sins of omission and commission.
Since our trouble with John Bull
over that boundary question we have
not cared to see the Monroe Doctrine
bring us again to the verge of war,
and Mr.. Roosevelt's temptation to do
SO and 90 ont of Office in a blaze of
glory might be too much for him if one
OF the great Powers were blockading
Venezuela.
As it is, all we have TO do is to keep
our hands off. We feel entirely salts
fed that Holland has no designs on
Venezuela, and it is high time that
somebody was giving Castro dressing
down. It is too bad that he is not at
home to feel the full effects of the
demonstrations of the populace, even if
we do not think much of the actor
of the mob. The real offender has
made a good getaway" and the ex-
hibition of rage now witnessed seems
childish, or Venezuelan, which appears
to be much the same thing. From all
accounts Castro will enjoy the out
break. Is it possible he had hand in
stirring it up so he would have good
excuse for not coming back?
