Americas Debts to Dickens.
From the New York Tribune

1t would be gratifying and creditable
if generous contributions should be made
in this country to the Dickens centenary
fund for the sake of thus paying in part
three debts which America owes to the
memory of that great man, In addition
to the universal debt which is owed by
all mankind One of these obligations has
been incurred through our use and en-
joyment of his books without copyright
royalties. Probably no other works were
ever more profusely pirared than his.
They had millions Of readers in this coun-
try who paid not cent to the author.
For that deprivation there was and is no
legal redress. But certain moral com
pensation might be made in the manner
suggested. III this amounted to even a
1.-THE of what the legitimate royalties on
his works would have been it would be q
record contribution to the fund.

The Price of Gas.

The letter addressed by the District
commissioners to the local gas company
requesting the submission of evidence
bearing upon the ability of the company
10 make q further reduction in the price
of gas is based upon an understanding
between the local authorities and the
counsel of the corporation. whereby IL
was agreed that the price should BE- re-
dgced TO s, cents a thousand on the first
of January. 1871. and that the company
would a year later make further re-
duction if Its accounts for the Year 1911
showed this to be possible. The Com
miSsionerS take cogniZance of the figures
obtained in the annual report of the
company for the financial year Just
closed showing that while the net income
of the company for the year 1910. with
@ss selling at 81 cents. was S457. 1.siol.
during the year 1911. with gas selling at
=, cents. the net corporate income was
Sla,ol0.53. In other words. with gas sell
ing at : cents a thousand less, the COM
pany made S:12li.os moro than the year
previous. This is regarded by the Com
missionerS as q good reason for a further
reduction, and their letter is an effort 10
secure for the consumers such "A reduc-
tion without the enactment of legislation
land in pursuance of the company's Own
poic,- and in discharge OF its voluntary
agreement.
This situation i further argument
for the carly enactment of the public
utilities bill giving the commissioners
Jurisdiction over the local corporations
which supply transportation, illumination,
power and means Of communication. If
tho agreement between them and the gas
company can he carried into effect
through correspondence and consultation
the people will get the benefit Of offi-
cial supervision in this particular branch
of the public service. But there is no
assurance of such an agreement The
gas company can at this time decline to
proceed further in the matter. 1t can, if
II desires, repudiate the bargain struck
between its representative and the COM
missioners. 1t can refuse to submit the
detailed annual statement for analysis
This is not to say that it will do SO. but
the mere possibility of it's refusal to grant
,the further price reduction which its in
crease of net earnings appears now to
warrant. or to set forth the figures to
Justify such refusal. illustrates the
need of a statutory provision establishing
public utilities commission with full
power Of rate adjustment. 1t is to be
hoped that the Commissioners will sue
coed in their present endeavor to bring
the price of gas to 50 cents, and that
meanwhile the public utilities bill will in
some form pass Congress at this session
in order to assure the community of sim
liar effective activity regarding all forms
Of public service in the District.

The Colorado Cleveland Collision.

The collision between the steamship
Cleveland and the cruiser Colorado in the
harbor Of Honolulu was due to an ex-
optional cause. the llarbor pilot having
fallen dead at his post while bringing the
ship into port, without another man on
The bridge to replace him when he was
seized by the fatal attack. This is an ex-
traordinary situation. one would GER
ta,nly think that there would be quar-
'tcrmastcr on the bridge with the pilot in
entering harbor. Had there been such
man at the pilots side the ship could
not nave got out of control. The federal
authorities having Jurisdiction over such
matters should investigate this accident.
which fortunately cost no lives, to ascer-
tain now far the practice of leaving the
pilot alone on the bridge prevails and
provide regulations insuring the presence
of q quartermaster. if not a ships officer.
IN company wita the man In charge OF the
harbor steering. Such precaution would
nave prevented the collision with the
colorado.

Our Distinguished Visitor.

The Duke of Connaught has three
claims to the friendly consideration of
Americans. and the feeling is being well
manifested on his present visit to the
country.
He is the Governor General of Canada.
and between the people of Canada and
those of the United States cordial rela-
tons exist. The recent furry over reel
procity left no bitterness. Submitted
under conditions of high political excite
ment. the question received severe buff
lettings on the stump. and failed. but the
two peoples are as neighborly as before
They may decide TO try again, and then
may succeed.
He is the son OF a great woman. who
in her day was conspcuously friend of
the United States. Queen Victoria had
always our prosperity and governmental
we'll being close to heart. and on ont.
very grave occasion served us we'll In
the matter of the Trent affair her soften
ing of the British dispatches, which She
insisted on reading, went far toward pre-
venting war between Great Britain and
America at time when our domestic
troubles alone We're testing our powers
of self representation to the utmost.
And. last but not least the Duke of
Connaught has distinguished himself as
soldier; and Americans admire brave
and capable man at arms. He took his
place i'm the field with his countrymen
did his duty, was complimented by the
communicating chief. decorated by for
eign sovereign and returned home amid
general applause
So that as official. as son. as man and
in right and of N
spring record, the Duke of ,Connausht
is welcome everywhere within our bound
aries, and nowhere more warmly than in
the city which he compliments by his
presence today.

Teaching Boys to Be Honest.

Three boys were in the Juvenile Court
yesterday on charge of larceny, they
having organized "a gang and broken
into several stores, Two of them were
placed on six months probation and one
was held for medical examination. At
the same session of the court boy of
eleven years was arraisned for stealing
two bicycles. He was released on a sus-
pended sentence on promise to be good.
This is an excellent policy in dealing with
Juvenile offenders, and illustrates the adj
yantaSeS of n court where Young mis-
demeanants can be tried without con-
tact with the degrading conditions of the
ordinary police court. 'fhe thieving
propensity among Juveniles is most dis
tressing. but il can be checked effective
~ if the boys who commit such offenses
are brought promptly into court in the
first instance and then given a chance to
behave.

Protect Niagara.
rom the New York Herald.

I rom N'W 1orh
In pleading before the foreign affairs
committee of the House in Washington
Tuesday for the preservation of the
beauty of Niagara Fails a speaker ex-
pressed the belief that a referendum vote
of the people of the United States would
result overwhelmingly in favor of pre-
serving the scenic beauty of the falls.
Such a vote would he useless and fool
ish as q vote on the beauty of Red sea
sunset, the masniilcence of a Rocky
mountain landscape or the glorious as
pect of an Indian ocean storm. No vote
is needed on a question that has but one
side. The greatest natural asset of the
hemisphere from an esthetic standpoint
is Niagara, and ii is a disgrace to the ma
ton that commerce has been permitted
to place the dollar mark on this most
splendid of natures monuments. 1T will
be all the more disgraceful nov that
public-spirited citizens are working val
iantly TO preserve what remains of the
falls, if those who hold the safety of
Niagara in their Keeping do not prevent
other power companies from turning the
crystal flood away from the publics eyes
and transforming Ii into golden flood
for private pockets.
