Chairman Hitchcock, or Postmaster

WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. Il. 49,
The Publicity " Nonsense.

Publicity of campaign contributions
is a good thing. There is no sound
reason for Directing to it, and there
are many reasons for favoring it. Pub
licity before election is a good thing,
too, for obvious reasons.
But there is a difference between sense
and buncombe, on this as well as other
issues Everybody now knows that the
great parties are running a close race
toward the bankruptcy court Every
body knows that they are companions
in poverty. Everybody knows that the
Democrats are making a virtue out of
necessity. They haven't been getting
the money which they wanted and
would have been glad to accept, and
% they pose as yirtuous.
The greatest series of contributions
ever made by special interest for any
campaign was that of the silver barons
to the Bryan fund in 1896. To them,
It meant hundreds OF millions to have
the faith and wealth of the United
States pledged to the proposition that
thereafter so cents worth of silver
should be lifted up by its bootstraps
20 q parity of value with 100 cents
worth of gold. Mr.. Bryan was willing
enough then 70 have the special in
terests contribute to his campaign. In
deed, in the early months of that cam
paign it seemed certain that the weight
OF financial backing would be decidedly
on the side of the Democracy.
Time has passed when national cam
paigns are to be great financial enter
prises. The odieeholder has been elm
mated by civil service regulations. The
trusts and corporations have been elm
mated by force of a public opinion in
which al parties have acquieseed.
II poverty really were Synonymous
with virtue, the Republicans would have
quite as fine a showing OF Indulgence this
year as the Democrats. The talk about
the significance of the publication of
contributions is worthless when nobody
is getting any contributions worth pub
fishing. Both parties have been about
equally blameworthy n the past, and
with about equal reluctance they have
reformed this year. That is all there
is 10 it, and professions of moral supe-
riority are not entitled to any consid-

No Rain in the Balkans.

A war cloud in the Balkans is not
always to be regarded as being as
menacing as it locks. Even when it
has every appearance of being sur
charged with danger, it never fails to
have It's opera boufTe aspect.
In this instance the breaking point
was reached by a neglect to send the
Bulgarian representative at CONSTANT
nople an invitation to dinner, while it
seems possible that the real spark in
the msgazine-namely, Servia-wil not
be blown into life for the very sub
stantial reason that it finds itself with
out ammunition for its guns. It is hard
70 imagine a people that are repre-
scented to be always on the verge of
going on the warpath being without
powder, and yet that is what all the
dispatches tell us is the thing that is
holding Servia back. Unless there is
some sudden outbreak now, the outlook
for maintaining peace is excellent.
Turkey, which might plead more cause
for going to war than anyone else, APP
pears content to leave the question of
what indemnity she shall have for the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-10-14

tearing up of the Berlin treaty to the
Powers that signed it. Bulgaria gets
the independence she has striven for,
while Turkey loses very little that she
held by anything but a courtesy title.
OF course, the small states of the
Balkan peninsula, all of which have
national dreams of a very roseate hue
viii go as far as they dare in the
hope OF obtaining some substantial con
cession for not casting the die that
may lead to a general war.
The strongest assurance against war
IS the inability at this day for a coun-
try to take what it can acquire by con-
quest. Russia was despoiled Of her VIC
tory in the last RUssO-Turbish war
by the very treaty that Austria Hun
gary is now disregarding, while Russia,
in turn, was saved from Japanese ra-
pacity by the fear of the Powers that
japan might become too strong in the
East for the peace Of the world. Thus,
while the nations may not prevent two
ofl their number from flying at each
others threats, they have acquired the
habit Of determining very largely after
the fighting is over what shall consti-
tue the spoils OF war. 1t needs. there
fore, a desperate situation tc make any
country seek TO settle d quarrel with
the sword. The result may be most
disappointing even to the victor.
Outsiders do not know what is oc-
curing behind the scenes. And if the
scenery with which so dangerous a
problem is being handled is different
from the way shirt -sIeeve" diplomacy
would take hold OF 1t, we confess that
the sober method that Is being pursued
abroad has its advantages. It Is Ger
tainly to be hoped that good will come
out Of the ENHANCEMENT, though we
fear that it will give a decided set
back to the argument Tor limitation
of expenditures for naval and military
purposes. The opponents of this policy
in Great Britain viii certainly use the
crisis to show that it was only Great
Britain's preponderating naval strength
that gave the mastery OF the situation
into her hands.

Building in Confidence.

The enormous decline in the number
Of ears that are unemployed, together
with the increasing volume of output
Of the iron and steel mills and the
reports from many big wholesale cen
tiers, are generally accepted as excel
lent evidence Of a permanent revival
of business, which is only awaiting the
settlement Of the Presidential contest
to become still more pronounced.
In this connection building statistics
from forty-seven cities, gathered by the
Construction News. show a gratifying
increase for September over the same
month last year Permits were taken
out for the month for 1892 buildings,
involving an aggregate expenditure of
$45, 1854, 944, as compared with 1890
permits for September, 1907, involving
an outlay Of S4l,oSs,O84, a gain of 10
per cent.
Says Construction News:
This indicates that the Improvement
has been constant and leads 20 the be-
lief that building will continue active
from now on. In August the majority
of the cities included in the list showed
a falling of. The conditions are re-
versed this time, twenty-nine cities
showing increases and fifteen a loss"
This Is but one of many indications
that the belief that the country is in
for an era of great prosperity has sound
foundation.
