MARYLAND Sewer Plans.

Residents of Washington are most keen
" interested in the proposal Of the citi-
zens Of Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties. Md. to inaugurate a system OF
sewage disposal that will drain the sec
tons living Immediately ad jacent to the
capital In a double sense this works to
the interest of the District. In the first
place. il is highly desirable that there
should be a sewage-disposal system for
the ciose-lying counties of Washington
that will not polllIte the streams that flow
through the District, and thus will relieve
the local community of the menace to it's
health involved in the contamination of
it's own waters. Then. again. in large
measure the health of the District is de-
pendent upon that of the surrounding ter
ritory. and anything that serves to i'm
prove conditions within radius of ten or
twenty miles from the District boundary
is factor for the betterment of Wash
ington's health. Considering the fact that
a large part of the food supply of the
District comes from the two Maryland
counties Immediately adjoining. it is obvi-
Gus that the establishment of a compre-
hensive sewer system throughout that
area viii operate beneficially in lowering
the percentage Of possible disease trans
mission. The citizens of the Maryland
counties named are organizing and are
hoping for both state and federal action,
the latter on behalf of the District. In
this endeavor they deserve the hearty CO.
operation OF local residents, whose i'm
mediate welfare is involved in the enter
prise.

Magdalena Bay.
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun
When Viscount Chinda. the japanese
ambassador. says that even from the
military point of view Magdalena bay
Is not particularly desirable, he means
that it would be of little value to JapaI
as a naval base. and he is right. Magda.
lena bay is from $500 to 5000 miles
from Yokohama. One thousand miles
north Of Magdalena bay is the naval
station at San Francisco, and 500 miles
further north is the Puget sound base a,
Bremerton. Two-fiftks of the way across
the Pacific on the route to Yokohama Is
the great naval base and rendezvous OF
Pearl harbor in the Hawaiian Islands
which the United States engineers are
making impregnable. Magdalena bay In
the possession of Japan would be at the
mercy of the naval power operating from
Pearl Harbor, San Francisco and Seat
tie. even If the finest coal mines in the
world were situated on thes shores of the
bay, fresh water could be had in
abundance, and the back country were
peerlessly fertile. AS matter of fact,
the country for miles around 1t Is arid
and desolate-the land Of thirst, 1t Is
called-and every ton of coal for the
use Of a fleet must be brought to Magda-
lena bay Nature never intended 1t fol-
a naval base. At great expense 1t could
be converted into one, but In the hands
of Japan so converted it would have
little strategical value. MT SO much as
one of the most western Aleutian Is
lands.

Lands Taken From the Mall.

Senator Root has amended his bill for
the erection of George Washington
memorial building in this city by elimi
mating the provision investing the control
In the Smithsonian Institution. That is
not as important matter as one which
it Is to be hoped will be made the subject
of a further amendment: The bill as it
stands provides that the memorial build
ing to, be located on the northern end
OF that portion Of the Mall known as
ArI.c-y Square, shall be so placed that
its south front will be on line with
the south front of the new National Mu-
scum building. No mention is made
whatever of clearance of the disfigur-
ing and concealing private structures on
the truncated square lying Immediately
north. between Pennsylvania avenue and
B street. In short. this proposal is like
others that have been advanced. to locate
public buildings on the Mall without any
provision for compensation to the public
for the park land thus absorbed.
II 1t is to be the policy OF the govern
ment to continue to locate buildings with
in the Mall some definite arrangement
should be effected for taking In each
instance an equivalent area from the
Mall-Avenue triangle. not to be used for
building sites. but to be added to the
permanent park space. At the present
time there are two proposals for building
emplacements within the Mall. this
George Washington memorial plan and
the recommendation of the fine arts COM
mission that one Of the three buildings
originally designed for the five-square
area at the western end OF the triangle

Secretary Stimson at Chicago.

In his speech last night Secretary Slim
son made his attitude toward his CHIEF
in the contest for the Chicago nomina-
ton entirely clear. He is. of course, a
Taft man. How could he be anything
else consistent with honorable dealing and
seIf-respect? He accepted Office with full
knowledge of what the administration
had done and was then doing. He has
helped make the record since. Is 1t con-
ccivable that a man of his high reputation
and position could resign his place, or
remain silent and neutral In it, with his
chief and the administration under fire?
An affront has been put upon both Sec
rotary Stimson and Secretary Meyer in
this matter They are personal friends
of Mr. Roosevelt. and have followed his
leadership on many questions of public
policy They believe that while in the
White House he served the country well.
They honor him for those services.
But are they not men of their own
minds and individuals in their own right
Because they have agreed with Mr..
Roosevelt in the past, and still agree
with him about many things. should they
agree with him about all things? Should
they make a god of him. and have none
other Is the proposition. once Roose-
Welt man, always Roosevelt man?
Should thew forsake all others, and cleave
only unto him.
Mr. Stimson is of opinion that Mr.
Roosevelt has been forced into his pres
ent position That is natural and
rreditable opinion for him to hold. He
compliments his friend by expressing it.
Having received from Mr.. Roosevelt HIM
self the assurance that he was not and
would not become a candidate. Mr.. Slim
son was amazed. and probably grieved
by Mr.. Roosevelt's reply to the seven
governors. Tt must have looked like
force to one still retaining his confidence
in the former President.
There were others. however. who did
not experience these feelings; and these
men are now, quite Outspoken. They
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt had for some
time meditated the step he took. and
copuetted with those organizing the move
ment in his behalf; that he slyly invited
the show of force. and Welded with a
promptness positively joyful. -
However this may be, Mr.. Stimson is
correct in the statement that the Roose-
Welt candidacy is 'jeopardizing instead
OF helping the real cause of progress in
the nation" He cites with force what
Mr. Taft has done and now stands for in
Office and shows by the record that the
President deserves an Endorsement both
by his party in convention and by the
people at the polls.
This speech should still further
strengthen Mr.. Taft in New York. where
he already was strong. Mr.. Stimson
represents the state in the cabinet. and
was called to his post because of the
great respect in which he was held there
both as man and politician; and his con-
duct in Office has justified the Presi-
dents selection. and increased the ad-
mration of his friends at home and

The British Coal Strike.

1t is difficult for Americans to realize
the full extent Of the decentralization pos
sible In q compact country like Eng
land when so important an industry as the
mining of coal is suddenly and complete
ly suspended. Somewhat Of a concept
was obtained nine years ago when the
anthracite miners were on a strike for
several months and the hard coal supply
was almost entirely exhausted before
governmental Intervention brought about
an adjustment. But even then the situa-
ton was not anything like what 1t is to-
day in Great Britain, with a million
miners idle, a quarter Of a million men
in other lines of activity laid off through
the stOppage Of their emplOyments for
lack Of COAL and with 1,425,OOO others
served with notice that their services
will not be needed in short time II the
situation does not improve. Thus in a
few days 1t may be that upward of
>, $50. 900 wage-earners will find themselves
out Of work and dependent upon their
meager savings. their union funds and
charity for sustenance. Can Great Brit
ain stand the drain of such a sudden
and tremendous increase in the ranks of
it's dependent population?
and highly organized and economically
unsound condition Of British society to-
day 1t is impossible to disturb any
phase of its industrial activity without
affecting the entire population. Reactions
occur much more quickly there than they
do here. If the present conditions pre-.
vail for a month Great Britain will be
at the most acute crisis in it's modern
history, with tens of thousands of people
in danger OF starvation, possibly with the
entire kingdom under martial law, with
immigration in progress in immense
numbers, with the whole social and po-
litical system completely demoralized. 1t
is in truth inconceivable that the strike
should progress so far. The leaders OF
the government know well how danger
Gus it would be to permit the matter to
drift to such an extent, and In all like
uhood they are even now prepared for a
radical intervention.
One Of the most sinister aspects OF the
situation is presented by the menacing
attitude Of the continental miners Re-
ports are circulated that 1000 German
miners have already struck because Of a
reduction Of wages. and there are also
rumors that French and Belgian miners
are showing signs Of restiessness. There
is possibility of an international coal
strike. the consequences Of which it is
appalling to contemplate. The fact that
members Of the social democratic unions
in Germany have sent $l2o.OOO to the
English strikers indicates q practical
sympathy that may have a sinister sig
nificance in this connection.

ment Of tho park space thus to be de-
stroyed.
The Senate has already passed at least
twice a bill for the wholesale condemna-
ton by the government Of the entire
Mail-Avenue triangle. and it should re-
gard that method of providing building
sites as definitely adopted by 1t. All
building, legislation affecting the capital
proposed In or enacted by the Senate

principle and the Root bill for the much
needed Washington memorial building
