NICARAGUA FOR PROGRESS.

The attitude which several of the Central American republics have taken as expressed by their presidents. upon the proposition to make NIcarag gna a protec10-ate, shows that Costa Rica and Salvador are not inclined to approve or any such plan for their country. That it meets with the ap- prova1 of Nicaragua means that Pres ident D1az and his people have a diff fereD+ opinion as to their needs and the s56 which this country can render in helping them to obtain such Mic sragua has undoubtedly been watching Cuba and seen the benefit which has been gained there through the good advice Of this country, also the ben eft which it has been to San Domingo by the supervision of its customs. It is but natural that it should desire to reap like benefits, straighten out it's financial tangle and set up the neees- sagy educational system which would operate to the benefit of the people and keep it in the paths Of peace and good government.
 It is a wSxa-hy ambition on the part Of Nicaragua It is looking for better things. It may mean more resPonsi- bdiity for this country should the treaty pass, ka4 whatever would mean the ultimate Improvement of conditions in Cen9rsI America through such over sight is worthy of undertaking. We pretend to hold certain responsibil- l- ity among them all because of the Monroe doctrine and whatever oper- ates to make them better republics lessens the call on that responsibility, Nicaragua is looking for progress.

SENATOR BRANDEGEE'S POSI-
 TON.

Senator Brandegee started some thing in the senate when he gave mo- ttice that he would object to the read ing into the Congressional Record of editorials, which should arouse much support. Such a step in behalf of mak- ing the Record what it is intended it shall be, an authoritative record of the doings of congress has long been de- manded. and fl is not editorials alone against which objection is justified. It is possible now to incorporate into the Record political speeches, long news paper articles and in fact a great deal of material which is of much value later for campaign purposes, but which Is entirely outside the doings of the two houses of congress. It is d practice which has long been fol- lowed and 1t will take time to over come it even though the senator's att ritude will receive wide recognition as deserving of support
 How successful it will be in bringing about the reform is to be determined, but it means that a beginning has been made. a fact which carries influence with every proposition and the reiter- auon of his position whenever oppor- runity presents is bound to bring rec ognition- Senator Brandegee has clearly stated his views and determin- alton They are straightforward and ring with good common sense Adher- ence to them should have a wholesome effect in bettering the practice of pre- senting matters before congress and as a relief to the official record

NEEDS INVESTIGATING.

In the navy department Secretary Daniels has set before himself an am- bilious list of reforms much the same as might be expected with a change of administration and a new head of the department. As elaborate, perhaps, as any of them is the plan to have the government make it's own armor plate for use in the construction of its naval vessels Inability to get com petition in this expensive material has opened the avenue for a possible ad- ditional economy through the saving of the profit from it's making, to the government. There might be grounds for such course, and the very large expenditure necessary for the equip ment of the plants required for such work, would be justified, if it could tainty that the experiment would not prove an ultimate failure
 Other nations are engaged in the production of their own armor plate, but until it can be determined that there is an economical benefit through such government ownership and man ufacture, the fact that Japan, France and Russia are thus engaged does not offer sufficient grounds for this coun- try embarking in such an enterprise. It is economy which Secretary Daniels is seeking and before any definite steps are taken to establish such plants it would be but 4Sle part of wisdom to make the necessary investigation and comparisons. There is nothing more important than being sure you're right before going ahead

OVERCOMING BORROWING.

Few and far between are the munl- cipaIities which can get along with ont borrowing at difffrent times in order to put through important pub lie needs With conditions warrant ing it public necessity usually is sat isfed. but not so much attention is paid to meeting the debt which is thus incurred. Future generations are gen. erally depended upon to take care of their share of the inherited debt.
 Tn this connection the suggestion of Robert F. Cutting of New York for the establishment of a depreciation fund to meet the losses that occur through deterioration or destruction of public facilities deserves careful thought His idea is to prepare for the time in the future, through yeaEly contributions to such a fund when the need of borrowing would be overcome Sinking funds are for 8 definite time and the definite purpose of meeting bond issues, but the depreciation fund would be available for such uses as would make the bond issues or some of them unnecessary.
 If a municipality could turn into such fund what it pays annually in interest charges it would soon have a fund which would eliminate interest and debt It is a plan which New York is at present considering. As a theory it sounds we'll but whether it would operate to a greater saving could be better demonstrated through actual operation than on paper.

ADJUST coLoMBIA's CLAIM.

While other matters of an interna- tional character are giving the admin istratiOn much thought, there is req son for giving the proper amount of consideration and effort to the ad- justment of CoIombia's claim. This is a matter which has been hanging fire for a number of years chiefly through the attitude which Colombia has taken of it. her refusal to partici pate in the three cornered treaty and her unwillingness to accept the offer which was made by this country at the close of the last administration.
 Colombia is seeking justice but her idea of it has been the cause of the delay in the settlement of the contro- versy. This country has held to the belief that Colombia was being prop er1y treated by the terms of the treaty into which Panama and this country had agreed to enter. The in- tention throughout has been to deal liberany with the republic and it still exists, but Colombia has peculiar ideas as to just what justice calls for in her case. There are only certain limits to which even the most generous can go
 With the approach of the opening of the Panama canal it is time to get together upon the settlement of the question. Panama is getting anxious over the non payment of the interest agreed on and the entire situation is one which should be cleared up, and the opportunity is offered for the exer- else of the proper diplomacy for it's accomplishment.
