PROBING COST OF LIVING IN
THE DISTRICT.

The business men of Washington
isve It in their power to enlighten the
country on the greatest problem which
now oonfronts the people, namely. the
increased cost OF living.
si1nilar Investigations are being made
In many sections of the country. and A
Senate committee has been appointed
by the Senate to probe into the matter.
Unless there Is a radical change in the
plans Of the Senate leaders the investiZ
cation by the select committee Of that
body viii bring forth bewildering ar
ray of statistics from the various Gov
ernmental departments and reports
from our consuls abroad with little pos
sfbility OF reaching a practical solution
of the problem.
The investigation being conducted bv
the Chamber of Commerce. on the
other hand, furnishes an excellent op-
portuuity for placing the public finger
on the various elements which GO to
make up the increase. This cannot be
done, of course. unless there is the Mt
most frankness on the part of the
merchants who 90 before the investi-
eating committee, and unless. also. the
investigating committee itself is fcar-
less in arriving at a decision.
Some of the most prominent men In
every branch of trade viii 60 before
the Chamber of Commerce ard volun-
teer information as to the conditions
in their respective enterprises.
1t must be apparent that this prob
lem, of such vital Importance to every
citizen of Washington, cannot be solved
if the butcher passes the blame along
TO the wholesaler. and the wholesaler
to the packer; if the grocer blames the
farmer, and the farmer blames some
one else. Passing the buck" TO use
the vernacular, Is not going to satisfy
the people. We have an abiding faith
however, in the int gritty of the bust

A CHANCE FOR HARMONY IN
REWARDING PEARY.

There seems TO be an excellent oppor-
tunity for arriving at a harmonious con-
clusion as to the recognition to be ac-
corded Robert t. Peary by Congress,
and little excuse for the radicals either
for or against the discoverer of the
North Pole to endanger compromise
legislation.
These arc the facts to be borne in
mind: The Allen and Hale bills pro-
posed to retire Peary as a rear admiral
in the navy-in other words to trans
fer him 10 the line; Secretary Meyer
opposed making Peary a line officer,
but had no objection to having him re-
tired with the advanced rank in his own
corps; the subcommittee of the House
Naval Committee at the outset opposed
promotion OF recognition of any kind,
but has been compelled 10 give way be
cause of public sentiment, and bills
embodying the recommendations of Sec
retary Meyer have been introduced.
Representative J. Hampton Moore
was the first to see the prDpriety Of the
suggestion made by Secretary Meyer,
and his bill retiring Peary as civil en-
gineer with the rank of -ear admiral,
together with the thanks of Congress
to Peary and his men, Is now before
the Naval Committee
representative Bates of Pcnnsyl-
vania, member of the subcommittee
which declined to honor Peary, has now
bill which also follows the
lines suggested by Secretary Meyer. It
would seem that the committee should
have no difficulty in settling this mat
ter without further delay. The Moore
and Bates bills have the support of the
Navy Department They are certain Of
passage in the Senate. and, we believe.
in the House. It is TO be hqhed that
the committee VIII give to Peary the
national reward which he so well de-
serves.

GENERAL GIVES
WARNING TO TRUSTS.

Attorney General Wickersham. at the
annual convocation of George Washing
ton University, delivered an address on
'The Progress Of the Law" before a
distinguished audience. that included
such men as Justice Harlan of the Su-
preme Court Of The United States. the
leading jurists of the District of Co
hInfbia. and other men of prominence.
The address was a noteworthy one. In
that the general trend of 1t constituted
a warning to the great trusts and com
binations Of the country, and made 1t
clear that there are bounds beyond
which they cannot so and beyond which
the rights Of the individual must not be
trampled upon.
Not a few of those who heard the
address or read it. and weighed the
circumstances of its delivery, looked
upon it as a serving of notice by the
Administration that 1t is the purpose
10 enforce the Sherman antitrust law
along lines which the President has
heretofore defined If the Tobacco trust
and STANDARD Oil decisions are favorable
TO the Government
Mr.. Wicbesham gave review of the
law of monopoly, going back to the
days Of Queen Elizabeth, and discussing
development since. He told how there
was popular uprising in England
against the effects of grants Of num-
erous monUpolDs by the throne. and
how Queen Elizabeth. in order 10 re-
lieve the people took away nearly all
the grants which had worked the evils.
He followed this Up by discussion Of
modern industrial conditions. and show
ed that in a democracy the individual
must be protected from the oppression
of tne other individual or Of the group
of individuals He emphasized the fact
that in the commerce clause of the Con
stitUtion this Government has an effec-
tive weapon against monopoly, Just as
in EIizaheth's time the government had
remedy IN the cancellation OF the
patents Of monopoly which had been
granted to various persons. who abused
the privileges given them, He de-
clsred no free state can endure the
existence of monOpolies.
Attorney General Wickersham's ad-
dress viii well bear careful perusaI. Tt
IS not in conflict with the idea Of the
Administration that big business can
be carried on successfully by the right
sort Of consultation But It cannot be
interpreted in any other light than
that the Department of Justice intends
70 strike at the vicious practices of
nlonopolies and near-monopolies, and
that it considers the powers of the
Government ample to cope with the
evils

THE MAIN QUESTION ATISSUE
IN PHILADELPHIA.

The people of the whole country are
interested in the street car strike in

Phians VIII be compelled 20 walk, but to

stones and driven from the highways.
The issue of law and order transcends

that mob cannot dominate the third
city IN the Union the question Of how
much money a street railway company
shall pay its employees or how many
hours a day they shall work is Of de-
cidedly minor Importance
