bad colds and pneumonia to hundreds
of Inauguration visitors.
How long is the country going to
hold Inauguration ceremonies at a
time when the weather is almost GER
tain to be bad! e.. ys.
The country wants to come to. Wash
iBgton to see Presidents inaugurated.
1t wants to come when the weather is
good. 1t is ready to amend the Con-
stitution to change the inaugural date.
The new Congress, whose majority is
supposed to be composed of men who
are friends Of the people, should profit
by the lesson of today's storm-if they
have forgotten the storm of March 4,
l9O9-and take up the question of
changing the date of inaugurations at
its first opportunity.
The Washington times., 1911-03-08
NOW LET'S TRY SOME REAL
REGULATION.

The interests of the citizens of
Washington demand that the Interstate
Commerce Commission take advantage
of the new ruling of the District Court
of Appeals and proceed to do some real
regulating of Washington's street rail-
way companies.
The court holds that the Commits
sion and not the District Commission
ers have authority to regulate the
street railways. The statute giving
the Commission such authority is not
broad or specific, but there is every rea-
son why an aggressive attempt at
regulation should be made.
The ultimate solution of the prob
lem of local street railway resula-
tion must be found in the revision of
the Districts street railway laws and
the centralization OF authority to en-
force them. This reform. however, may
not be accomplished for a year or more.
In the meantime, citizens of the Dis
trict are entitled to such relief as the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
give them.
For two reasons it would be an ex-
cellent idea for the Commission to en-
deavor to regulate the street railways
under the existing statute. If the law
held water, the regulations could be en-
forced. and if it didn't hold water the
need of an effective law would be estalt
lished.
The statute under which the Inter
state Commerce Commission is given
authority ever the street railways of
the District is short, involved, and in
consistent. The Commissions authority
must be found in the provision requir-
ing the companies to furnish Con
venient and comfortable" transporta-
ton. Just how far the Commission
may go under this authority has never
been determined.
Everybody in Washington knows
that street cars in this city are not
properly ventilated. Most of them are
vile-smelling and disease breeding. Can
The Washington times., 1911-03-08

company that uses such cars be said
to furnish convenient and comfort
able transportation? If not, can the
Interstate Commerce Commission pro-
hibit the use of such equipment? Is
the act under which the Commission
ID supposed to control and regulate the
street railways sufficient to permit it
TO force car ventilation?
Then there's the question of crowd
ed cars. The extent of the Commits
sion's authority to prevent crowding
has never been definitely settled.
The Commission could profitably test
the extent of its authority to demand
certain types of cars. One company
is using a'car to which there is wide
spread objection on the part of the
public. 1t is the side-seat P. A. Y. f.
car on some of the Washington Rail
way and Electric lines. 1t is certain
that these cars will not provide "con-
venient and comfortable transporta-
ton" in the summer. Thousands of
people believe they do not provide it in
the winter. 1t would be real service
to the District of Columbia for the
Interstate Commerce Commission to in
vestigate this question thoroughly, de-
eide what is a comfortable car, and 90
the limit of legal authority to have
that car put into operation.
The people of Washington realize that
the members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are busy men, to
whom the Washington street railways
are pretty small potatoes. They re-
alize it was an absurd mistake on the
part of Congress to add the petty de-
tails of local street railway problems
to a Government agency already over
burdened with much more important
duties But this doesn't alter the fact
that the people of Washington must
look to the Commission for relief for
the present. Until Congress relieves the
Commission of its local responsibility,
the Commission must recognize the Dis
trict's needs and do all in its power
to meet them.

AMERICAN INTERVENTION IN
MEXICO.

OF course, it is not officially inter
vention as yet; the Administration
calls it "maneuvers" But the facts.
so far as they can be stated, are these:
President Diaz is a very old man
past eighty-apd in very bad health.
The Diaz government has for twenty
five years Systematically induced in
vestment of foreign capital in Mexico,
which is now greatly concerned about
the future
The Madero revolution is headed by
a man of wealth and capacity, and is
conceded, in the present crisis, to he
far more serious than has been adj
mttcd heretofore

throw of his regime during his life.
would he the signal for demands from
foreign governments that the United
States protect foreign investments and
maintain order in Mexico, on pain of
having to stand aside while England.
Germany. France, or all of them.
united to do that work.
Mexico is the richest and most prom
ising aggregation of natural wealth
making opportunity in the world. Capt.
tal all over the world has been seek
ing chances there Billions are al
ready invested The investors are de-
tprmined not to lose what they have
invested; rather. they purpose to i'm
prove their opportunities and increase
their holdings whenever the chance
may present.
The United States confronts the
most weighty responsibility that the
Monroe doctrine has ever imposed or
it. If the crisis in Mexico becomes so
serious as to ncccssitatp military Occu-
patton of Mexico, it may we'll he doubt
cd whether that occupation will ever
he ended
From the Canal to Canada" is the
slogan of the most appealing jimgo
policy that this country has had rmg
in its cars since "Fifty-fOur forty or
fight" was the winning war-cry of a
Presidential campaign-only to be be
traycd after it had won an election.
Intervention in Mexico may come.
It may be forced as the logical con-
sequence of our maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine. If it comes the re-
suit will be almost certainly the
prelude to a long era of complication,
financial and international, the out
come of which no man can forecast,
but which most naturally and obvious
ly will threaten the possibility of this
country annexing Mexico.
People who view with concern the
possibility of further colonial expan-
sion: who doubt the desirability of a
long list of Mexican States some day
knocking at the door of the Union for
admittance, will see in today's situa-
tion along the Rio Grande the menace
of a new crisis in the national life.

THE RETIREMENT OF SECRE.
TARY BALLINGER.

The Taft Cabinet has been notably
tdifferent from that of Roosevelt, in
that so few changes have taken place
in it. Secretary Ballinger is the first
member of the original Taft Govern
ment to retire; and the Taft Ad-
ministration is two years old.
Mr.. Ballinger's resignation came
naturally and logically at this time He
had been under fire from almost the
first day of his service His chief had
stood by him most Loyalty; but it was
impossible that a man whom the coun-
try distrusted and who at best was a
weighty political liability should be
retained much longer. The beginnings
of the Presidential campaign are bare
ly ahead. A Democratic House is to
meet in less than a month, and had
not Mr.. Ballinger retired it would have
instituted some proceeding against
him. At least, it would have adopted
a condemnatOry report from the Con
gressional investigation of the Secrc
tary, if it did not go so far as to
institute impeachment proceedings.
These things would have kept the
Ballinger issue alive at time when
political effects could have been only
disastrous. The same fairness and
loyalty toward President Taft, which
Mr.. Taft had displayed toward him,
required that Mr.. BallinGer relieve the
Administration of the embarrassment
of his presence.
The President has named as sue
cessor Walter L. Fisher. of Chicago.
Mr.. Fisher is known to the country as
one of the foremost leaders of the
Illinois and Chicago movements for
decent politics. He was attorney for
the city in the reorganization of the
traction situation on terms most ad
vantageous to the municipality. He
is a man of means, and of broad pub
lie interests.
More than all this. Mr. Fishers
affiliations in the last two years mark
his selection as an evidence OF purpose
to placate the independents and insGr
gents. Mr.. Fisher was counsel for
Charles r. Crane during the latter's
curious experience as minister to
China; and in that capacity he issued
some statements which must have re
quired a deal of forgiveness on the
part of President Taft and Secretary
Knox, preliminary to inviting him into
the Cabinet.
Still more. Mr.. Fisher is a close
friend of Clifford Pinchot, the late For
ester, whose sacrifice to BalIingerism
was the incident that first commanded
attention to the ruction between the
forest service and the Interior of
ficiary.
Meanwhile the Cunningham coal
claims-the bone of all this conten-
tion-continue unpatented, and it is a
strong presumption that they never
will be patented.

Indignant Protests Come
From Mothers and
Many Others. 4
MRS. BIRNEY TAKES
DULL CHILD'S PART
Question Will Come Up When
Congress of Mothers
Conyenes.

''I believe in the separation of the two
classes of children says Miss Foster.
why, the slow ones simply bore the
bright ones to death. 1t is easier to do
justice to the slow child when he is in
class with other children of the same
mental caliber.'
THE separation of bright and stupid
children" says Miss Clark, 'is really
necessary: II seems to me. Isn't II
tried, even in the little sChoolhouse by
the road, when the pupils are divided
in classes A. 3, and c, according to
their ability?'
But what about the mother of the
backward child? Would the eloquencs
of Il Webster convince her that her
child is really dull? If her boy finds
II impossible to read and spell as glibIy
as the boy across the street, isn't he
better at figures? And if certain lit
tie girl she knows brings home low
marks each month, doesn't her mother
believe, in her inmost heart, that the
child only lacks application?
The separate school for the back
ward child" say those who favor the
plan, must be a matter of educating
the parent also"
The Washington public school system
mas already begun to deal by individual
| methods, with the sub-normal child.
First School
Established Here.
In 1907, The first "atypicaI center,'' or
school for sub-normaI children. was
| established in Washington. At first, the
school authorities met with the oppoSi-
| ton of the mothers whose children they
! were anxious to remove from the pub
| lie schools. When, however, a few
women could be convinced that their
| boys and girls would advance more
rapidly. and receive more attention il
segregated from children Of the average
type. they become reconciled to the
| ''atypical center"
There are in operation In. Washing
| ton at present five of those 'centers, or
| schools for sub-normal children. NJ
| tendance at the atypical school is not
| compulsory; the parents being allowed
20 send their children to the public
school If they insist upon 1t.
| There is also one ''ungraded school,
| in the city. To this are sent children
| who are known as ''semi-incorrigibles''
| too good for a reform school and too
| mischievous for a public school.
| More schools for backward children,
and the separation of backward and
| forward, normal and sub-normal, chill
dren into two distinct classes, is the
plan advocated by Prof. Stuart.
! To which the fond mothers of WASH
| ingtOn reply:
ITO be sure But don't forget that
mine do not belong with the black
sheep"
