PLAYING FAIR WITH THE PUBLIC.

President Taft's suggestion at the Yale
alumni dinner that III the Republican party
does not live up to what the people expect OF
''it 1t may be relegated to her majeStys Opposi-
"tion,'" ought to enIighten those Republicans
in Washington who have labored to obscure
and nullify what the public understood to be
the party's pledges of downward tariff rev1s-
ion. Mr.. Taft takes a serious view of party OBJ
legations and has no sympathy with the sOphis-
teal argument advanced in the Senate that the
Republican national platform of 1908, as inter
preted without challenge of any sort by the Re
publican Presidential candidate left the party
representatives in Congress free to re-enact
practically unchanged a law declared out OF
date because of the enormous changes in COM
mercial and industrial conditions which had oc
Cured since it was put the statute book.
There can be no doubt that the voters believed
il to be the intention of the Republican party to
make an adequate revision of the Dngley rates,
with material reductions in many schedules.
Good faith and sound party policy require the
frlflment now of undisputed prediction prom
ises.
The President Is shrewder than the party
leaders in the Senate in foreseeing the political
dangers involved in disappointing just popular
expecta tons. No party can successfully live
down record of broken pledges 1t may hap
pen, as at present, that the opposition party is
in great measure debarred from taking adv8n-
tage of the majority partys apparent trifing
with public sentiment Yet that disability does
not excuse the blunder Of falling to make IN
retracted pledges good and Of casting aside an
exceptional opportunity to strengthen and popu-
larize Republican leadership. \ competent
handling of the tariff question in this Con
gress-the general acceptance, for instance. Of
the programme of revision which the House
Of Representatives and the President support
would make the Republican party invincih'e IN
the nation removing the only issue on which
IN recent years it has heen successfully At
tacked. The Senate has done nothing to secure
such q notable party advantage on the con
tTary It has done 3 good deal 70 show that on
the tariff issue Republican leadership In one
branch Of Congress is not alert and progressive.
The Presidents remark at New Haven suggests
that the great weight Of his personal and po-
ltical authority viii he used 70 repair the Sen
ate's blunder The country will gladly infer
that he will DO his best to enforce fair dealing
with the public and a satisfactory fulhlmeut Of
party duty and party promises

ested in the creation of this property. The made
land will have little value, of course without
title to that narrow strip along the rivers edge
which lies between low and high tide, and, how
ever great the states need of money, 1t would
be a short-sighted policy TO demand for the
riparian rights a price greater than those hold
ing the land could afford to pay.
An interesting feature which has been noted
by those engaged in the work Is the effect Of
this reclamation upon the mosquitoes. few
years ago the acres now covered with sand and
raised high above the water level were fields OF
rank grasses, breeding their millions Of mosqui-
toes annually. To-day laborers there suffer little
from the pest, and there can be no question that
the continuation Of the work will have notable
effect in Kidding the suburbs Of New York OF
their most Objectionable denizens. Destroying
the breeding grounds for the larvse Is In ftselr
end worthy of the encouragement of the stete,
and the entire country will rejoice when the
long contemplated and inevitable result has been
achieved and the Jersey meadows are no longer
an affection at the very gates of the metropolis

It will probably be desirable for a Russian
force to occupy Teheran. For some time 1t has
seemed altogether doubtful whether the Persian
government could restore order and resume er-
f1cient exercise Of the essential functions OF
authority. Day by day the empire. including
it's capital. has lapsed further and further
toward chaos. The Shah appears to have lost
the confidence of the people, and 1t is not at all
surprising that no has Some Of the revolu-
tionists are animated with intelligent and
benevolent motives and sincerely striving
to secure for the country an enlightened and
stable government; but there are many others
who are no better than outlaws and maraud-
ers. and in striving to suppress them the i'm
perial troops often act more like brisands than
soldiers. Altogether it is a sad situation, which
probably can best be righted through the inter
ventlon Of some strong power. Russia is. Of
course, the power which should do the work II
Il is done at all. and as her action will be
taken in agreement with Great Britain we may
assume that it Will lead to diplomatic com
plications. and also that her Intervention will
be merely temporary. until a Persian govern
raent can be established at Teheran which will
be worthy of the name.

uEARKEN! Also listen! Wall
III street has a new secret and a
brand new problem. Thus far neither
has obtained wide currency in the
financial world. Here is the problem:
If a railroad has behind it resources
aggregating $1,000, 100000 a foot for
every foot Of its trackage, and has a
constant tonnage of the most valuable
freight the civilized commercial world
knows, would you expect such line
to be put out Of business?
No; it doesn't require an E. H. Har-
riman or a James J. Hill to take just
one answering whack at that question.
On the other hand, you need not con-
tend that the Trainer of that problem
should be lodged forthwith in padded
cell until the breezes of autumn cool
of the ambient atmosphere. For such
railroad has suspended-temporar-
lily. Lack of operating resources? No,
stree. It's true that the line in Ques-
ton is only about 100 feet in length,
is single track road and has no
branches or other rail connections.
But It has behind it resources aggre-

w Observation-Disclosures not at all
W Utopian in any Of their ideas nor
intent upon carrying out sociological
experiment, group of officeholders
in the capital, most of them govern
ment clerks, has practically completed
plans for the execution of one of the
most novel schemes in the history of
real estate trading in the capital.
Their primary object is to escape the
burden of paying rent in the city and
to substitute suburban life for urban
life, and with this end in view they
intend to found a:bungalow town, in
which the limits Of cost of nearly
everything necessary, to- household
upbufldfng and. maintenance will be
held to the lowest possible level.
Just where bungalow Town" will
be located has not yet been definitely
determined, but it will comprise an
area Of IS to 20 acres. convenient to
some of the suburban trolley lines.
This land can now be secured at
cost not to exceed $1,000 an acre, and
when it is subdivided there will be no
effort to secure profit upon the money
invested, because the purchase will be
distinctly cooperative affair, and
each participant will be entitled to his
share Of the increased value of the
land incident to the placing of i'm.

ONGRESS will have it's hands full
~ at the next session. The particu-
lar matter which will be agitated will
probably not disrupt the union, al
though it has been the subject Of con-
tention since the states got together.
It. all came about through an in
cipient instruction on the part of
citizens of the District of Columbia.
They got up dinner at the New Will
lard hotel in Washington and invited
President Taft. Then they sprung it
on" him that they wanted representa-
ton in the government; wanted rep
resentation on the floor of the house
and senate; wanted a voice in elect
ing the president and a few other lit
tie things.
President Taft told them that If
they wanted little things like that
they ought not to crowd their de-
mands into social affairs. He sue-
gested that it would be more to their
credit If they started a movement to
get back the slice of the original Dis.
trict Of Columbia, which a too gen.
erous congress had given back to the
state of Virginia.
The citizens of the district jumped
at the opportunity. They welcomed it.

Retirement of Wilson Is Intimated

Early In the career of the new adj
ministration Secretary Wilson and
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
had a sharp disagreement, which at
one time looked like an impasse. It
was suspected that one or the other
of them would retire. President Taft
smoothed over the differences, only to
have them break out at a new place.
and now, in this last ENHANCEMENT.
Mr.. Ballinger has won his point. It
related to the jurisdiction over for

Mr.. Ballinger gets the jurisdiction,
