Why The News is Late

This issue of The News il late. large
ly because Of the delay occasioned by
waiting for precinct and county cleo
tion returns. In the past the paper has
been held for correspondence received
late and for copy that seemed too i'm
portant to omit. The practice doesn't
pay, and We believe it occasions disap-
pointment to our subscribers. Any
way, in future the paper will 60 to
press on Thursday and be mailed Friday
morning, even tho it bs necessary to
send out half Of it blank. Correspond
ence and advertisements should be in
not later than Wednesday to insure in
sertion in the issue Of the same week.
Matter received on Thursday may be
published, but the chances are it will
usually wait for the following issue, un-
less of much Importance.
Now that the political campaign is
over, we will have space for IN increased

the next issue comes out, don't knock

of one low spot on the flank of a buffalo

on the map, just about as 1t was when
he used it as an exercising ground and
the scene of small scale but strenuous

Public Utilities Ownership.

In one sense ii Is nObody'S business who
owns the public utilities of the District.
Anybody has a right to buy their stocks
and bonds. But in another sense it is
distinctly the business of the people
to find out WHO owns and operates the
franchises for the maintenance of street
railways and Illuminating companies. At
all events it is quite to the point of the
public welfare that those who are re-
sponsibie for the financial administra ton
of these properties should be definitely
identified To this end it is highly I'M
desirable that ownership in such cases
should be cloaked under corporate titles,
perhaps overlaid two or three times. In
the case of single railway system that
has never been "hnanced." but has al
WAYS been operated as straight bust
ness proposition, there is little or no diff
ficuIty. But when a railway company is
combined with another sort of corpora
ton and there is an overlordship to join
the two. and this in turn is combined
with another combination, and the whole
il financed" by the formation of hold
ing company or something Of that sort,
the people who use the street car lines
and buy the electric current and other
commodities dealt in are not merely at
q loss to know who is who in the public
utilities world, but are utterly confused
as to the relation between the value of
the service and the value OF the fran
chises which the companies enjoy. The
present demand is for a simpler form
of ownership. that assures a more direct
relationship between operating expense
and company profit. That Is why there
IS a present fnsistence here in Washing
Ton upon the passage of a public utilities
commission law that will at the very
least yield Information as to ownership
If It does not absolutely prevent a scat
1ering of that ownership through half a
dozen corporations and consequent dis

who has taken his own life. This marks
what will probably be one of the most in

in the District of Columbia. There seems
to be no human possibility Of learning
just what took place in the brewery fur
mace room on the night of September II,
whether the two men quarreled and one
was killed by chance blow or his life
was taken deliberately. The furnace

character there is no clue to the tragedy.
If Jett slew Webster designedly am tAon
went about the disposal of his body as
part of a plan. he must have proceeded
with a remarkable nerve. For several
days he went back to his work and con-
tinued to fire his furnaces knowing that
his victims ashes were within. Then
the strain became too great and his nerve
failed and he paid for his crime with his
life. Or it is possible that he slew in
self-defense and, finding the man dead,
realized how difficult would be the estab-
lishmen1 OF his innocence and undertook
to hide the traces of the unfortunate en-
counter In such a case the strain upon
him would be as great though he were
actually guilty, for the burning of the
body would in that event have been in
one sense an assumption of crime. In
any case. however here was no carefully
plotted crime. no really shrewd calcuia-
ton of chances. The inclneration of the
body was an obviously easy method of
disposal man with a really criminal
motive would have been more careful.
He would possibly have prevented blood
stains on the bricks. He would in any
case have removed all the metal SUBJ
lessen the chances of Identification. True,
even without such telltale traces in the
ash it might have been possible to desg-
nate the bone fragments human
through such portions as the scapula or
the clavacle. Yet with blood stains on
the floor and distinctly human bone fras-
ments in the combustion chamber and
metal remains in the ash the chain of
proof that human being had been kill
ed and the body had been burned was
complete. It is an axiom of criminal
law that a certain responsibility rests
upon the one who last saw a deceased
person alive, in a case where foul play is
suspected. and with these revealing
tokens in the fire room there was no
other course for the jury in this case to
take save to point to Jet as the one ac-
colntable for Websters death.

Wilson, Marshall and Parker.

Mr.. Wilson does not regard Judge
Parker as a progressive democrat. Gov.
Marshall does. Mr.. Wilson's friends
voted against Judge Parker for tempo
rary chairman at Baltimore. Gov. Mar
shall received the formal notification Of
his nomination for Vice President from
Judge Parker. who was chairman OF the
notification committee. Mr.. Wilson said
nothing. but plainly looked disappointed
when told of Judge Parker's success at
Syracuse. Gov. Marshall has neither ut
tered nor looked disapproval.
Is the democracy booked for repeti-
ton of the experience it had in 1885
with Cleveland and Hendricks? They
were not in accord, either as to men or
measures. Mr.. Cleveland was a profess
sional refornher; Mr.. Hendricks an old
style democrat. So-called reformers and
independents rallied around the Presi-
dent; the old guard rallied around the
Vice President.
A break between the two men soon &C.
CURED. Mr.. Cleveland moved slowly in
the matter of appointments. Mr.. Hen
bricks wanted democrats promptly re-
warded with Office. Mr.. Cleveland at that
time professed devotion to the merit sys-
tenn. Mr.. Hendricks was a frank spoils-
man. Mr.. Hendricks wanted an old
friend and political lieutenant appointed
postmaster at his. Hendricks, home town
of Indianapolis. Mr.. Cleveland demurred,
but under pressure, yielded.
After that the cohness between the
two men grew marked, and continued so
until Mr.. Hendricks death, which took
place early in the administration. The
general judgment at the time was that
had Mr.. Hendricks lived bitter row
would have developed, and Mr. Cleveland
been challenged for supremacy at the
next national convention. Mr.. Hendricks,
though of smooth and diplomatic ad-
dress. was a fighter when aroused, as
such men usually are, and had he lived
and signaled to the old guard in 1888.
there might have been as lively a wran-
gle over candidates at st. Louis that
year as took place between Henry Wat
terson and Arthur p. German over the
tariff plank for the platform.
Differing thus as to what is progress
iveness. and who are progressives, may
not Mr.. Wilson and Gov. Marshall diff
fer as to other things as time passes?
Judge Parker will not he persona grata
at the White House. but will be in the

Capitol. May not other democrats take

Roosevelt on the Stand.

From the New York World.
This is the first time that President of
the United States ever had to take the
witness stand to defend his honor. 1t Is
the first time that President could have
been justly subpoenaed to testify as to
the sources of a national campaign fund
1t is the first time that a President was
ever personally involved in such a scam
dial. Cleveland had his Whitney. Nc
kinley had his Hanna; but it remained
for Theodore Roosevelt to send the presi-
dency itself into Wall street to collect
campaign tribute. In spite of all denials
and evasions, we know something of
what Mr.. Roosevelt did in 1904 to gain
four years more in the White House, and
his justification proves that he is ready
to repeat the performance. What would
he do If he were again President and he
had the infinitely greater power over cor
porations which he is now demanding in
the name of social Justice? What
would he do in 1916 to perpetuate himself
in office if he were elected President in
1912?
