These men have the country's interests in
their hands, and from their own observa-
tions and from information supplied by
their constituents are qualified to legis-

Business Interests and the Tariff.

Business men. it is stated, are fiocking
20 Washington. They are interested in
the tariff. and want TO be near while re-
vision is in progress. Well, is there any,
thing wrong or unnatural in that? Con-
gress is composed of representatives of
the people. and men engaged in business
are part OF the people. A mans repre-
sentative shouf always be accessible to
him.
The hearings granted bN the ways and
means committee last winter were at
tended by men engaged I'm business but
the case was not closed. 1t was simply
prepared for presentation to a larger tri-
bunal Nineteen men sat then, and the
bill to be reported next week is their
work Taking the House and Senate to-
gether. we have court of nearly five
hundred members, and the work of the
smaller tribunal is TO be reviewed by the
larger. Now is the time, therefore, for
those who have appeals to make to make
them.
In the loose talk of the day this Is
called lobbying and men engaged in ii
are lectured as guilty of an IMPROPERLY.
But there is nothing improper in it at all.

Canal Zone Government.

From the New York Tribune.
Pending legislation, which is to be
pressed to enactment II possible during
the coming special session Of Congress, -. is
President plenary authority to govern the
Canal Zone and administer its affairs ac-
coading to his discretion. 1t seems de-
sirable that the President should have
such power. and it is not easy to see how
objection to it can be made on reasonable
grounds.
There is ample precedent for such a
course. When the Louisiana territory
was purchased so good a democrat as
Jefferson and SO earnest a professed be-
lever in the doctrine of the consent OF
the governed" with the authorization of
a democratic Congress led by John Ran
dolph of Roanoke. appointed Claiborne to
govern that territory with "all the powers
heretofore held and exercised by the gov
ernor general and intendant." Again.
when Florida was annexed, Monroe made
Jackson its governor. with congressional
sanction, with all the autocratic SOW.
ereignty of Spanish captain general. to
exercise the functions of legislature,
executive and judiciary all in one.

Callers at the White House.

The temperance at the White House
of public men who have not called there
for some years is the subject of some
interesting remarks. War is over, we are
told. Wrinkled brows are all smoothed
out, and the catching Taft smile has
spread over the face Of the country.
Wait a bit Not so fast.
Nearly every administration starts we'll
respects the visiting list. Going back
twenty-four years we come to Mr.. Cleve
land. who entered the White House
stranger to the great majority of the
leaders of both parties. Callers. of course.
were numerous. He was swamped with
them, indeed. But before his term ended
many had ceased to visit him, and toward
the end of his second term democratic
caller of prominence was conspicuous
by his rarity. The storm and stress of
politics had played havoc with personal
intercourse
Gen. Harrison, while not popular, was
well regarded by public men when he
took the reins in 1889. His great ability
was conceded, and there was general ex-
pectation that he would measure up to
the requirements Of his office. The repub-
lican leaders gave him good support. But
it was not long before friction appeared.
Patronage accounted for some of 1t, other
things for some. BY the meeting day OF
the Minneapolis convention in the sum-
mer of 1892. many of the strongest men
in the. republican party were not on
speaking terms with the President. They
tried to defeat him for the nomination.
and then sulked after the nomination was
made.
Upon the retirement Of Mr.. Cleveland in
1897. the atmosphere of the White House
changed from the frosty to the balmy.
Mr.. Mckinley was the irresistible man.
Political friends and foes alike yielded to
the charm of his manner. He knew all
the leaders of both parties, and. with but
few exceptions, all were fond of him.
During his whole four years as President
he was personally the most popular man
in America. Even the distribution of pa
tronage. which tries the presidential soul
and talents, did not injure him.
The change from Mckinley to Roosevelt
was almost as radical as had been that
from Cleveland to Mckinley. 1t was an
easy guess that now we should have
some stormy weather. And it came, on
time. Patronage, legislation, everything,
developed friction; and as the Ananias
Club grew, callers. at the White House
decreased
Judge Taft has manner all his own
He is amiable without being weak, firm
without being disagreeable. In ten years
of political Office he has made no per-
sonal enemies. There is no reason why
republicans and democrats alike should
not visit him and discuss public business.
A good beginning has been made, and it
will surprise nobody if the Mckinley
record is duplicated. But the test Is
severer than any Judge Taft hitherto has
stood and all will watch his progress with
interest

Ocean Speed Rivalry.

4 report that comes from Hamburg,
Germany, to the effect that one Of the
large German transatlantic steamship
companies has decided to pay no divi-
dends this year has an interesting bear
ing upon the competition for speed suprem-
acy on the sea which has been SO marked
ly in evidence for the past few years.
At present the speed flag is borne by
an English line. The LuStania and
Mauretania. representing the highest type
of marine construction, with their
records of speed due to the wonderful de-
velopment of the turbine engine, are ex-
ceedingly expensive to maintain. 1t is
an axiom of mechanics that the higher
the speed the greater in proportion the
consumption of coal and the less economy.
The only advantage in clipping a day off
the ocean record is to attract custom. and
1t remains to be seen. after a year or two
of record breaking speed performances,
whether the heavier patronage both in
cargo and in passengers compensates for
the immense expense of maintenance.
The German company which has just
passed its dividends for the year has
found competition forced upon it by the
success of the two great turbine steamers
anything, that they are now building In
Germany several steamers planned to
exceed the speed performances of the
English vessels. 1t is true that the Ger
man lines have all been. hard hit by the
falling off of migration to America during
the last year. as the result Of industrial
depression. and the present money trou-
bles are thus not altogether due to the
expensive competition.
1t Is inconceivable that the German ship
owners will permit the English to remain
in undisputed possession of the speed
supremacy, or that the English them
selves will allow the Germans to over
take them without an effort to retain their
advantage 1t is altogether likely that in
a few months the world will witness an
extraordinary rivalry on the sea and
that the four-day boat, that is. the bost
landing passengers in New York at the
end OF the fourth day out fyom port, wiu

be the result Of this competition. But the
financial side will remain an interesting
problem. Unless some new method OF
producing power is found to replace the
expensive consumption Of coal, the limit
Of the speed possibilities will very quickly
be reached save at the cost Of trans
atlantic steaming OF luxurious charac-
ter suitable only for patronage by the
very wealthy. Meanwhile the great ma
jority Of transatlantic travellers will be
content to Jog over the sea at a moderate
pace and a moderate price. This is one
case where the general public does not
get the benefit Of high mechanical de-
velopment.

Bryan.

OF the appointment of Mr. Nagel to the
Interior Department Mr.. Bryan says:
1T Is plain that all that was necessary
to secure for this Standard Oil trust law
yer a place in Mr.. Taft'S cabinet was a
dignified presentation of his name from
the right quarters.
Can II be possible that the Nagel ap-
pointment was one of the subjects under
discussion when Messrs. Taft and Rookie
feller met in Georgia during the month
OF January"
Quite unworthy of the peerless leader.
Less excusable, indeed. than some of the
remarks made last fall when Mr. Bryan
was forced to part with Gov. Haskell as
his campaign treasurer. The difference
is that those remarks were made in the
heat of A campaign. Mr. Bryan now
