The Presidents Message.

Today's message is the most interest
ing paper on the subject of our foreign
affairs ever sent by a President to Con-
gress. and should receive the careful con-
sideration OF that body. 1t relates to
matters in which all the peOple-all par
ties and all sectons-are intimately con-
cerned; and they are set forth in logical
way and in persuasive terms.
Mr. Taft's idea is that the State De-
partment, from top to bottom, should be
as useful as ornamental. Its opportuni-
ties for advancing the everyday ends OF
trade are very great. and should all be
improved. He has set the ball rolling,
and he asks that it continue to roll.
Undoubtedly we are a world power
= But not for bOasting purposes. or for
parades sake We are a world power
on the worlds terms. The inspiration of
the era is business. All the great nations
our comprehensive alive for trade,
and if are to keep up with the pro-
cession-we should lead tive must be
wide awake too Nothing less will avail
We must know what is going on in trade
circles abroad, and SO get tips as to
developments and our duty toward them
Hence the value of the Presidents sug-
gestions large volume of most valu-
able information can be gathered by both
the diplomatic and the consular corps,
and put in shape here be made to serve
the ends OF our manufacturing and ex-
porting industries. American business
men will thus he provided with a steady
and reliable supply of statistics guiding
them in the right paths in their over
lures to foreign customers.
Mr.. Taft does not shy at the term COM
mercial diplomacy or dollar diplomacy,
but accepts il, and justifes it. He plants
. himself upon the homely but substantial
proposition that business is business, and
that all honorable means should be en-
ployed in increasing Americas contribu-
ton to the worlds business. Our impor-
tance Il nation in the worlds affairs
will be to a large extent measured by
our influence on the great motive power
of the age.
, In the carrying forward of the Presi-
dents aims must be considered the ques-
tons of the merit system for both the
diplomatic and the consular service, ade-
,quate pay for competent officials. and the
housing of our leading representatives at
their posts in a style befttins their COM
missions and the requirements of their
surroundings. All of this is clearly
stated in the message. and adds to the
force of the Presidents argument
As is shown in the concluding portions
of the message. we are on excellent
terms with all the powers; and Secretary
knox's recent visit to our neishbors to
the south demonstrated that a friendly
feeling exists there for the United
States. and good wishes for the success
of our large purposes.

increasing this force by more liberal ap-
preparations. to keep pace with the
steadily growing needs of the community
An interesting item occurs in the report
bearing upon the engineer department
showing the establishment of a merit sys-
tenn in that force The District is outside
of the range Of the civil service law, and
1t is only by such administrative means
that the municipal organization is kept
upon the basis of merit rather than in
f1uence. This expedient should be rem
dered unnecessary by the institution Of
a full merit principle protection for the
District government.
The Commissioners renew their recon-
mendation for the creation of a public
utilities commission. Recent develop
ments in the District clearly indicate the
urgent necessity of this legislation. 1t
should be the first item of the local legis-
lative program, urged for early passage.
That portion of the Commissioners re-
port that deals with the District parks
calls for especially close reading by the
local lawmakers. The situation is sweep
ingly reviewed, and the present conditions
are indicated in terms that point clearly
to the need of further legislation to de-
velop the park system and to utilize the
spaces and opportunities here afforded
for the evolution of a model series of
public reservations and breathing spots
and recreation grounds.
In it's details the Commissioners report
is unusually full of interesting matter.
Unquestionably it will be read eagerly by
all residents of the District, and it should
be studied in its particular items care
fully by those who are charged with the
duty of legislating for the National
Capital.

Germany's Challenge.

GermanyS chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, casts the hat of Germany
into the ring of European politics with
snap that brings the international audi
ence sharply to attention. His speech
in the reichstag yesterday was a plain.
unequivocal warning that Germany will
go to war in defense of :ier allies, Austria
and Italy. in case Austria is attacked by
any power. That this was intended dis
tinctly as a warning to Russia to hold
hands off in the present Austro-Servian
complication is unmist:skable. That at
the same time it is notice to England
and France that the ''dreibund" will fight
the more recently formed triple entente
in the event of intervention in the Bal
kans in a manner to prejudice Austria's
position is plainly to be inferred. The
chancellor's speech was surprisingly frank
and explicit, and there can be no possible
misunderstanding now Of the German in
tention to go to war If Russia assists
Servia in the smaller powers attempt to
secure an Albanian seaport as a result
of the war with Turkey. OF particular
significance is the announcement that an
agreement has been reached for renewal
of the triple alliance, for a period, it is
reported. of three years.
Will the German chancellors warning
insure peace? 1t will do so if Russia is
willing to see Austria extend it's posses
siOnS and influence southwark toward the
Mediterranean. That such a program is
distasteful to Russia has been made I'M
mistakably plain in the past few weeks,
but the Russia of today is by no means
the Russia of few years ago, prior to the
Japanese war. Given any disposition on
the part of France or England to precipi-
tate the issue. Russia would presumably
be willing to take the field in full
force to uphold the Servian claims. Both
of her allies, however, have been in
clined toward a pacific adjustment of the
matter. Yet as the case stands, If Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's challenge goes I'M
answered the prestige of the Austro-Ger-
man combination will have been greatly
increased. Are England, Russia and
France inclined to allow Germany and
Austria to control the situation with ref
erence to the disposal of the Turkish
territory? 1t would seem that the crisis
has arrived, and that the answers given
at London, Paris and ST. Petersburg to
the German chancellor's speech will de-
termine the issue of peace or war.

From the New York World.
Three years after Edward II. Harri-
mans death the United States Supreme
Court pronounces his most ambitious

solution of the Union Pacific and Soutn-
ern Pacific railway merger. When Mr..
Hartman dened the law in this matter
he did so with the courts Interpretation

stood five to four. In the present in
stance there is a unanimous opinion. one
justice not participating. Chief Justice
White and Justice Holmes, who dissented
in the Northern Securities case. now SUBJ
scribe to the Interpretation of the anti
trust act that was then made. Thus it
is no longer possible for those who mo-
nopolize transportation to base their pre-
sumptions upon the uncertainties of a
divided court. There was this pretense
of doubt in the Hartman case, and there
was the further Misrepresentation that
as the lines merged We're in some cases
a thousand miles apart they We're not
competitors. The summary manner in
which the court dismisses the sophstry
proves the strength of the law as well
as the disposition of its members to
enforce II.

The District Estimates.

The most conspicuous feature of the es-
Inmates submitted by the District Com
missionerS for the maintenance of the
municipal government during the next
fiscal year is that while adhering strictly to
the statutory requirements and Limitation
and asking for only the amount which
the local tax revenues justify. they are
more than 100000 in excess OF the
current appropriation. This is significant
of the failure of Congress at the last ses-
sion to appropriate for the District up to
the full extent of the available revenues
on the basis of caring adequately for
local needs.
No large improvements. Of a novel char
acter are proposed by the Commissioners
The increases which they recommend over
the current appropriations are all normal
and equitable. They want larger forces
for the transaction of the Districts bust
ness and better pay for those who are en-
gagged in this important public service. 1t
is idle to attempt to develop a highly eff
ficient organization on basis of pruning
and parsimony. The District government
is now cramped in many respects, in the
police and fire departments, in the
schools. in the health inspection service
and in other branches where multiplicity
OF service is required The health, the
safety and the education of the commu-
nifty are dependent upon these forces, and
10 the extent that they are adequately
supplied and equipped and paid Washing
ton enjoys the benefits of good govern
ment.
The District is still suffering from the
policy Of Congress in holding it virtually
to a cash-payment basis in the matter Of
arge public works which should be
financed on a long-term plan of refund
ing. Although it has been repeatedly
demonstrated that this system operates
10 the disadvantage of the National Capt.
tai municipality without any compensat-
ing gain, the House and Senate insist
upon appropriating on one scale for both
current expenditures and permanent i'm
provements, and consequently numerous
large projects of important character are
postponed from year to year. the prospec-
tive cost increasing steadily without Civ

Doubtless the Commissioners estimates,
totaling $13, $40. s97.6O will be materially
cut by the House committee and the House.
Then the Senate will presumably in
crease these figures to a point more
nearly providing for the real needs Of the
