POSSIBILITIES OF THE CANAL

Los Angeles number of years ago undertook a
scheme Of tremendously extensive and expensive
harbor improvements. 1t became necessary in effect
construct an artificial harbor at the most accessible
and best adapted place. When undertaken it seemed
swellnigh folly for city of Los Angeles population
and commercial importance to assume such burden.
Today the city, owning its docks and determined
that they shall neve- get away from it. has appca
tions from seven important steamship lines for rental
of dockage privileges. Others are coming later.
The lines represent commerce with all parts Of the
world, and, of course, the approaching opening of
the Panama canal is part of the explanation of
their eagerness for facilities.
When the canal was started nobody dreamed it
would in generations be outgrown by its traffic; to-
day, before it is finished, M. Philippe Bunau-Varilla
is telling us that it will soon be inadequate, and that
must forthwith get at work the sea-level ditch
If If is to be finished by the time it is needed!
The whole world is awakening to realization of
the revolutionary results that will follow the opening
of the canal.

President Wilson, has written into the statutes FAIR
fufllment of Democratic pledges the tariff. There
will be no charges of party perfdy, of clique control
of juggling and manipulation. The party will stand
or fall by the merits Of its policy If in the expert
ence of the next fifteen months the Democratic tarln
program is justified in its effect on the cost OF living
and on general prosperity, the Democrats may De
expected to get verdict of tentative approval from
the people 1t will be no than tentative, because
the test will not have been long and thorough enough
to make final judgment possible.
Congress has on the whole behaved excellently
in this tariff making EPISODE and this applies equally
to Republicans and Democrats. If Democrats have
sunk individual differences in order stand together
for sincere execution of party program, Republicans
hive done equally we'll in refusing to flibuster and
to prevent fair trial of the Democratic plan So
the country is going get fair chance to judge the
workings of the policy for which it perhaps would
have declared last fall and perhaps would not, II
the lineup had been made in the usual way OF
American politics.
The country feels that on the whole the work OF
the special session thus far has been done in good
faith and dignifed fashion. There are fewer part-
sans now than perhaps ever before Of the sort that
would be willing to punish the country in order that
particular party might be charged with failure
The country has got past such extremes Of partisan
feeling; it is mvre interested in the country than in
any party; it hopes the Democratic tariff will be
successful; whether successful or not, devoutly
hopes that ho disaster will result

TROUBLES ENFORCING THE LAWS.

Some time ago carton of prepared food whose
label pledged that its contents weighed a pound,
was seized in Nebraska and trouble started with the
manufacturers because there was only about four
teen ounces of the contents.
The underweight sample was shipped to the
food law authorities in Washington, and on arriving
here weighed a trife over the requisite sixteen
ounces
Investigation developed that when prepared and
shipped from an Eastern city all such packages are
little over weight. In tine dry atmosphere of the
plains the moisture is baked out and they lose
weight; ship them back East, and they take it in
again.
The same experience is noted with flour, dried
fruits dried meats and fish, and very large proper
tion of food products The authorities in charge of
enforcing the net weights act wondering if Gen.
eral Humidity cannot be put under some sort of
interstate commerce bonds to keep the peace.

TRADE WEEK IN WASHINGTON.

The Inauguration of fall trading season with an
especial appeal by the Washington business COM
munty to the trade territory naturally tributary to
this town is an excellent idea that deserves the sup
port of every Washingtonian In the multiplicity Of
its attractions to the visitor, Washington has an
embarrassment of riches that perhaps at times de-
ractc from its business opportunities. People come
here in increasing numbers the year around, for a
good many reasons that do not INCLUDE even thought
of shopping. Yet this city has magnificent stores and
Stocks and the most excellent facilities for caring
for business. Selections and prices are not to be
surpassed in any city of Washington's size; rather,
BY reason of the diversified local population and the
wide range of tastes and interests that be consid
cred by the merchant who prepares his STOCK Wash
iIgon is equipped to give every buyer the benefit of
peculiarly catholic taste and accurate knowledge Of
styles and values Well dressed women and correctly
dressed men are among the specalties of the town
and naturally enough. Washington deserves .recog-
milton for these things, and Washington's business
community deserves patronage because it has 50
splendidy accoutered itself to purvey to most dis
eliminating population. The time is ripe for Wash
ington to insist upon appreciation Of its especial
claims as trading center. Trade week is going to
mark long step toward systematic enforcement of

MR.. LANcAsTER's CROUCH

Mr.. Charles c. Lancaster, like the Washington
Star, is nursing crouch against pretty much every
thing that concerns the new administration OF the
District of Columbia Mr. Lancasters letter, in which
he protests against the commercial organizations of the
city rendering public reception to Chairman New
man. of the Board of Commissioners, gets quite over
the line >of good manners or simple decency
Mr. Lancaster protests that inasmuch as pro-
ceedng is pending in the courts to test the eligibility
Of Mr.. Newman for Commissioner it is an impro-
priey to tender him a reception. Mr.. Lancaster's
own performance suggests that he is hardly judge
Of official etiquette or community proprieties.
Mr. Newman is chairman of the Board of Com
missioners. Mr. Lancaster ventures to opine that 90
per cent of people who have looked into the facts
do not believe he is eligible. We should his
proportions and say that about 90 per cent Of the
people, beginning with President Wilson, who made
the appointment the Attorney General who held i
perfectly proper the Senate Committee on District
of Columbia, which without dissent reported it for
confirmation; and the Senate, which promptly con-
frmed, are satisfied beyond cavil that Mr.. Newman
is perfectly eligible. ls
The Insult that Mr.. Lancaster attempts will fail
of its purpose because it is nothing but insult
1t will be regretted by every fairminded citizen Of
respectable manners. Whether Mr. Lancaster speaks
merely for himself for powers higher up that don't
to into the open in this campaign of insult
and derogation, his nasty effort will serve only to
increase the satisfaction that the District government
is headed by who is so attractive to tie sings
and ibes of people of the Lancaster SORT The farther
the local government comes from suiting such as
Lancaster, the better the people will be served.

THE TARIFF MEASURE.

The present week seems likely to see the Wilson
tariff measure finally adopted and signed. 1t will
become law without creating much immediate excite
ment in either business political circles, simply
because it has so long been deemed inevitable. Its
iong-distance effects are likely be impressive
than the immediate ones. The country is in frame
of mind to judge j. by performances rather than on
forecasts
This means that judgment is likely to be based, in
the end. on pretty fair judgment Of merits, not on

THE CROKER OUTBREAK.

New York politicians are frankly amazed over the
Croker interview, in which the former boss defended
Tammany and assailed Gaynor There is much won-
derment to its real purpose. Will it help or hurt
Tammany? Was it designed to harm Murphy's lead
ership in order either that Croker might come back,
or that one of his group of ntmates at the Hall might
be made successor to Murphy? What will be its
effect in the campaign?
Probably it was not uttered with any thought Of
indirect consequences at all. Croker is direct per-
son. The whole statement has ring of sincerity.
There good reason to believe it intended to
hurt Tammany. Probably it will hurt Tammany; but
that is because Croker does not cannot understand
the presentday attitude of the public mind He has
been good deal out of the country during the very
period when the revolution has made most progress
He leader, but driver he doesn't realize
that driving is nowadays pretty much anachronisn,
Moreover, talk about Murphy being ousted and
Croker coming back has so often been INDUCED, when
there for it, that it is not to be taken
very seriously. Do him the justice to say that Muir
phy if he elects his mayor and unseats Suzer. will
be the most powerful Tammany chieftain in the
history of the Wgwam. He going to unseat Sulzer;
the betting is more than that he will elect his
mayor Already he carries the legislature in his
pocket
Neither Croker nor anybody else will be able to
GUST Murphy from Tammany control if these things
come to pass. New Workers have need to waste no
time in specializing about the possible reorganization
of Tammany; their problem is to something from
the tigers claws. Tammany has never managed to
control State and city together. After January it
is going to do that, if Mccall is elected mayor; and
the era of loot and corruption will surpass anything
the State or the country ever saw. That is what New
York faces, and it ought be clarion call to decent
citizens to get together. New Yorks complete DOM
ination, from city hall to Albany by Charles F. Muir
ply, would be real national calamity.
