tingent upon the failure Of the two governments to
reach an agreement, would have only power 20 in
vestigate and report; the Senate would agree to
nothing more than that But if the dispute hinges
on question of fact, and in the event Of the find
ings being against u.s. we can rectify position by
better enforcement of the law. There seems TO be
no purpose in rushing at once to The Hague. That
ought to be the last resource, not the first; and :he
interposition of second step in the process, which
would tend to make continuation of direct nego-
tiations possible, is well suggested.
At any rate, Secretary Knox's answer makes it
apparent that there is no reason tor the repeal Of
the earal law the ground of International law.
But by that same token it relieves Congress from
fear that its repeal would be taken as shamefaced
confession of attempted perfdious act. TIE
stronger position against England the easier it
becomes for Congress to act with common sense in
behalf of this countrys interests. 1t has been pretty
well demonstrated that public opinion here was
poorly gauged when there felt to be desire for
subsidizing our canal shipping. Congress can now
rectify that error with good grace.

THE PROGRESSIVE TENDENCY.

The Review of Reviews points out in its current
number that quite without reference to party names
and partisan traditions the progressive spirit is the
ruling force today in public life. This fact is
patent that it justhes the further observation of
the same periodical that there are great masses of
intelligent in all of the three leading parties
whose similar convictions would justify their acting
together in political matters"
That is perfectly correct 1t is the very point
that Mr.. Munsey mas urged repeatedly in his dis
cussions of substituting natural for an unnatural
party cleavage. The Review of Reviews points to
the anomaly that while standpat Republicans are the
strongest protectonists another element of RepuD.
icans the strongest advocates of tariff reform.
That Sort of anomalies may be discovered in ana.
lysis of almost any important issue of today. The
real division is between liberals and conservatives
Loyates so far as loyaltes remain, are more to
traditions, fetiches, sentiment, and Names than to
tine principles that either of the old parties stand for
Quite regardless of party membership" adds
the Review of Reviews, "the progressive movement
is guiding the work of legislatures and clarifying
the purposes and ideals of executive officers.
The great issue at Washington during the next two
years will not present themselves along tine lines
of any existing party cleavage"
fhe next two years may be expected to bring
logical and sane readjustment of party affiliations
10 the real sentiments of the country 1t has been
made plain that the people cannot be pulled and
hauled into lineup that means nothing to Them
The people can't be made over to suit the parties
the parties will have to be adjusted to suit the people,

THE WORLD COMBINE IN STEEL?

The testimony of w. E. Corey, former head oil
the United States Steel Corporation, in the Govern
ment suit for the dissolution of the corporation will
be seized for use to the full extent only by the
Department of Justice which is pressing this prose
cution but by the Democratic tariff makers who are
making up the metal schedule
Mr. Coreys evidence recited nard and fast
agreement on steel rails between his former COR
poration and the independents; also an understand
ing between the steel makers of England Germany
France, and Belgium and the United States Steel
CORPORATION and other American manufacturers on
the seaboard in position to do an export business
under which the manufacturers of each country re-
Trained from selling rails in the markets of any of
the other countries. In countries in which there
were no steel manufacturers the tonnage was d.
vided among those of the FIVE countries.
As Corey leaves the case there is a gap in the
record He could testify as to the end of 1910 when
he left the corporation Then this agreement was in
effect But in 1911 Farrell his successor as head of
the Steel Corporation, and c. M. Schwab both de-
clared that no such pool was in existence. Judge
Gary agreed Or the weight of evidence it would
appear tnat if there had been an international pool
il had been dissolved.

GOVERNOR WILSON AND THE DISTRICT

/ There had been ample evidence, even before
! Governor Wilson announced that his nose was or
the trail' of District of Columbia affairs that nc
nominations for District Commissioners we're likely
to be confirmed at this session of Congress. The
suggestive observations of the President-elect may
be set down distinctly increasing the probability
that he, and not Mr.. Taft, will name the three
executives VINO will administer this jurisdiction the
coming four years.
Serious ard disinterested well-wishers of the
real public interest in Washington will be glad Of
assurance that the incoming President has his nose
on the trail. They will earnestly hope that he may
not follow off false scent or chase up blind alley.
There has been too much of that sort of thing among
people who, without accurate and detailed nforma-
tion about Washington have undertaken to prescribe
for the town and its troubles.
Washington doesn't need and doesn't want to be
revolutionized. II wants and needs progress; a
chance to develop its governmental system in accord
ance with the experience and the thought that are
giving direction to municipal evolution in really
progressive communities.
Commissioner Rudolph the other day assured a
Congressional committee that Washingtons govern
ment is peculiarly excellent and assumed for it the
credit of inspiring the commission plan of city ad
mnstration. Ii is hard to believe that the Commits
sioner intended TO be taken seriously when he
suggested that Washington's kind of commission
government, representing nobody in the local CON-
munity and responsible to nobody, was model for
the "Des Mones plan" cities with tine initiative and
referendum, the recall the double non-partisan
election, the careful and scientific distribution of
duties the instant responsibility to the people and
nobody else. There is just one point of similarity
between Washington and those cities which are
ruled under the modern commission plans: there
is in each case a commission. After that the
parallel ends.
Commissioner Rudolph suggests life terms for
the Commissioners here. The proposal illustrates
how sadly he is in error in attempting to point
parallel with the Des Moines plan towns, where,
instead of life-term commissioners utterly removed
from responsibility to the local community, they
swing to the other pole, and have elective COM
missions liable to be called to responsibility, under
the recall, to the people, at any time.
If President Wilson has in mind to do something
worth while for Washington, the first task ahead Of
him is thoroughly and candidly to inform himself
about facts and conditions here. |,

Scalp Brand OF Western Films And
when / seen you rolling a cigarette will
one hand, says I. there's the thing te
put punch in the cowboy films.
You're a cowboy, see? The heroine
begs for your life. Affecting scene
taken up close. What do you do? You
roll cigarette with one hand. There.
nothing to IL! 1t will be a Knockout -
But. Sidney" interposed Mr. Jarr, II
can't see how the film maker got tina,
idea. The big thing in the picture
would be where the heroine stole away
unnoticed and rode forty miles in four
seconds and notified the Boys of the
Barb OUTFIT and they rode back like
demons and killed the outlaws and shot
the rope In two you were being lynched
with"
You don't get II at all. Sig. Dugan-
heimer had the right dope" explained
young Mr.. Slavinsky. ''The unexpected,
the odd thing is the punch in a West
ern film. The rescue. the shooting. the
rope that's hanging the guy-that's ex-
pected, that's discounted. But rolling a
cigarette with one hand. up close, that's
something else again.
Secret of Riding
In Picture Films.
TRY IT II you don't believe. Why,
sometimes they just, puts in a full screen
picture Of just the on hand Juggling
the makings and rolling the cigarette. /"
But where did you learn to ride. to
be cowboy? Suppose you did learn to
roll cigarette with one hand while you
sat on a piano stool, that isn't doing it
on horseback" asked MrJarr.
"Oh. that was easy" replied young
Mr.. Slavinsky. The moving picture
cowboys trousers have a leather patch
in the seat. There Is an iron ring sewed
to this, and there is a snap hook In the
middle of the cowboy saddle. The moy-
ing picture cowboys mount and snap
the rings fast to the hook on the sad
die, and then they can't fall of.
Sometimes the horse stumbles and
turns a summersault, but the daredevil
moving picture cowboy stays on. He
gets loud applause. but the fact is he
can't fall of the horse"
''Of course, after a while even the
worst ham actor that never saw a
clothes horse till he went into the
movies, gets to be able to ride without
the snap ring to the saddle. But you
watch 'em in the movies You think
they're adjusting their six-shooter hard
ware, but they amt. They're swapping
themselves safe to the saddle"'

ELIMINATION OF PRESIDENTIAL ELEc.
TORS.

Governor Baldwin, of Connecticut advocates ar
amendment to the Constitution doing away with the
electors and providing direct vote for President and
Vice President, each State to have the same pro-
portionate voice in making up the national verdict
as at present.
s While fhis would not be a complete solution Of
the difficulty that is presented by the cumbersome
machinery Of the Electoral College it would be step
IN the right direction and the rest could be left to
time. One obvious advantage would be that such
disputes as those in regard to the Roosevelt and
Taft electors which embarrassed the voters of not
few States last year, would be done away with
The peoples wish would find direct expression at
the polls on the subject tina. is of supreme impor-
tsnce to their political welfare ........
Another point to be gained would be the posi-
hility of discrimination in voting for candidates for
Vice President. The trainers Of the Constitution
intended that this position should be almost equal
in importance to the Presidency They provided
tnat the electors should vote by ballot for two per-
sons, the receiving the highest number, if ma
jority, to be President and inc one receiving the
next highest to be Vice President This has been
changed by the Twelfth Amendment, and for nearly
a hundred years the choice of the Vice President
has been regarded usually as side ISSUE The ma
ton has been rather in the habit of elevatng in
ferior men to that position, and if they have risen
TO the full of their responsibilities later
has not been due to the foresight of the voters.

SECRETARY KNOX'S ANSWER TO
ENGLAND.

In view of the repeated allegations that this
country has knowingly and perfdousIy violated the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty in exempting American
coastwse shipping from payment of canal tolls the
answer by Secretary Knox yesterday to the English
note of protest must prove very welcome 1t is A
strong, direct, and common-sense argument; it re-
lieves Of the charge of bad faith it demonstrates
that Whatever disputes may arise between the Urited
States and England through the operation OF tile
canal act can probably be settled by diplomacy Alone
and that until that means of adjustment has been
tried and failed we justified in refusing to arbi-
trate.
The point seems well taken that the treaty. can
De considered to have been violated only if the canal
law actually does operate to the injury of or in Gs
elimination against foreign shipping The law GER
tainly confers upon the Executive powers which
might be used prejudicially to Englands interest.
But as England admits our right to subsidze as the
toll rates fixed are based the probable receipts
from all shipping, without allowance for rebates TO
American coastwise vessels. and as the SUBSIDY plan
will admittedly not prove discriminatory if confined
TO bona hde coastwise traffic, the present basis of
dispute seems Limited to whether this country can
oe trusted to administer the law fairly or intends 70
abuse it. This is hardly an arbitrable question.
The avenue of diplomatic negotiation proposed
by Mr. Knox is of great interest because in is seen
the germ of the Taft plan of arbitration This is
Just such question~as it was proposed to handle,
FIRST through the ordinary channels OF diplomacy,
next by reference to joint high commission and
only after all other names had failed to the Hague
Tribunal
The commission proposed by Mr.. Knox, con.
