President Taft's District Policy.

President Taft's interview with repre-
sentatives of the Federation of Citizens
Associations shows that he has lost none
Of his broad and deep personal interest
in the welfare of the capital. The Presi-
dent is anxious not only to develop Wash
ington, materially and visibly, as the ma
tons capital into the city beautiful, but
his sympathy and protecting interest ex-
tend to the people of the city, the local
community. He recognizes that Wash
ington means men and women as well as
parks and buildings. He believes in the
wisdom and fairness of the half and half
partnership agreement of the organic act,
and may be relied upon to defend that
agreement against assaults, either open
or insidious. That statute, so essential to
the welfare of both the people and the
city of Washington, is neither to be re-
pealed nor picked to pieces by successive
exceptions to the application of it's letter
and spirit. Pension retirement funds for
the firemen, policemen and teachers Of
Washington and the wise regulation in the
community's interest Of the public service
corporations are appropriately among the
topics to be considered in the Presidents
special message on District affairs to
Congress.

ting conscientiously in it's capacity as

that the program of local legislation will

short commons in the matter of time al

its view of the measures advocated by
the committee. The majority leader can
not, of course, guarantee quorum to do
business on District days, which is quite
an essential of legislation, but it may be
that enough members have by this time
come to understand that Congress, in
it's discharge of the Constitutions imposed
duty Of exercising exclusive jurisdiction
over the capital area, is under formal
obligation in the premises to keep the
wheels in motion when local business is
before the House, just as much as when
political questions are under discussion.

A Post-Mortem !?

The Commissioners are to give a
hearing on the water rates increase to
the citizens association which was
promised such hearing before action
was taken, and any other associations
which desire to do so are. it is under
stood. permitted to appear with that
association. In view of the divided
vote of the Commissioners on the
water rates increase: of the fact that
it is not to go into effect until next
summer, and of all the circumstances
of haste surrounding the action Of the
majority Commissioners, some citi-
zens' associations have asked that the
order in the case be suspended, hear
ings granted, and the question recon-
sidered by the Commissioners, as far as
possible with an open mind. There is
no suspension Of the water rates order
coupled with the present hearing, and
it is given, it is understood, only in
fulfillment Of the specific promise to
this association that no action would
be taken before it had been heard, a
promise inadvertently overlooked. In
der these circumstances the hearing
is more apt to be one of explanation
and defense on the part of the Com
missioners of a policy to which the
majority are unalterably committed
than of a presentation of the associa-
tons view of the merits of the
question which it wished to urge upon
the Commissioners before the latters
decision had been reached and an
nounced.
Ii the order were suspended the hear
ings would be Of argument addressed
in good faith to the Commissioners
with a prospect or possibility that
1t might influence their ultimate de-
cision. With the order continued in full
force the hearings would take the shape
simply of a protest against the ma
jority Commissioners unshaken and un-
shakable decision, and unless it re-
suited in assent to that decision by
the protesting citizens would be a
mere vain beating of the air.
However. a hearing of any sort is
under the circumstances commendable
and in the public interest.

ton of the forests, which should have
been conserved with jealous care, but
were sacrificed In large measure to I'M
thinking cupidity. But an era of sanity
has come. and now the country is taking
stock of it's assets and valuing them jeal-
ously and providing means for their eco
nomic use. Throughout the nation men
and women of all classes are vigorously
at work endeavoring to solve the social
problems, giving generously of time and
energy and means to reduce suffering
and to check evil conditions and instill
a more wholesome concept of life into
those who have through neglect and mis-
fortune and illness fallen into bad ways
and upon hard times. a great ferment
of reform is working, sometimes spas
medically and ineffectively, but in the
main to the end of overcoming the OBJ
stacles to the full advance of the people
toward higher state of civilization On
this day of Thanksgiving it is idle to
dwell upon the veal or woe of the mo-
ment or season. 1t is necessary to look
back over a space of time to gain per-
spective and thus to compare the present
with the past, and in such survey ample
ground for gratitude will be apparent to
all.

While diphtheria is specific disease and
