BALKANIA AND THE POWERS.

1t is reasonably plain, in view of the traditional
diplomatic methods of the porte and of the dllly.

never expected to make peace at this gathering She
wanted breathing SPELL and an opportunity to play
her too clever game of pittng one power agains

have worked even generation ago; in fact, it did
But in an epoch of more advanced and enlightened

the peace that will finally be made will be dictated
on the fighting line
The Turk doesn't realize this. How could he be
expected to? He doesn't understand that ne has

dares at last to support. Why should he? The
Turk is the standpatter of the nations; ne doesn

agriculture is proved anew by corns invasion of the

this wear, the national exposition. 1t will open
at Charleston, S. c. January 27 to February 8. The
South has secured the big exposition of agricultural
propress by deserving it, has taken it from the Middle
West NV reason of the remarkable advances the
South has in recent time made in corn production.
The people of South Carolina nave provided
splendid special buildings, the largest covering
81 600 feet of floor space. The exposition is edu-
cational, looking to betterment of country life and
catholic view of agricultural progress. Twenty
seven States have promised exhibits, and eight hun

THE LOAN SHARK LAW.

The Washington Times will be pardoned for
indulging bit of especial satisfaction IN the passage
of the loan shark legislation 1t was hight tnat
originated with this newspaper, which brought the
whole matter into issue, and at last, after long
campaign and many and discouraglng Delays forceo
the adoption of the legislation.
The bill hung in conference for months, cniefiy
on the question of whether pawnbrokers snoulo De
included within its provisions They have oeen SO
included, the Senate yielding to the insistence OF
the House on this point
Whether this will prove good administration
must be shown by experience. II IS not apparent
whv nawnbrokers, who get security, cannot do busi
ness at the same rate as loan agents. who commonly
get no such protection IT, however, it is shown
that the pawnbroking business is essentially differ
emf then there NAV be modification later, or even
the experiment in municipal conduct OF pawnbrokng
establishments These are no longer novelties,
either in this country or abroad.
The Times believes that, as to the general loan.
ing business, the measure that has passed will be
successful The rate of interest is liked at ! per
cent a month. A lower rate would nave beer
inadequate, for if must be remembered that loan
agents of this class do not like bankers, receive
deposits, and so conduct their business with other
peoples money. They must get rate sufficient
to pay expenses meet losses, anu yieio ian ,eui u
Twelve per cent is probably as low as will do this
To fix lower rate would be to invite violations OF
the law and make its enforcement almost impossible
The measure as it stands ought to be enforceable
and to give sadly needed relief to borrowers who
have too often been skinned by constituencies
usurers.
Loaning agencies are necessary in a city. They
should be so regulated as to help unfortunates who
really need their help, while giving as little a
possible of encouragement to thriftlessness. That
is the general purpose of this legislation, and II
seems likely to bring excellent results

SAWMILL CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The vocational aspect of the United States Sen
ate is interesting. For instance, there are the TWO
SawmiIl Statesmen from Maryland
Upon the ears of the senior Sawmill Senator the
droning music of the revolving burr as 1t cuts lis
way through the log falls with such fascination nat
he could not forget it when voting on tarH Gil.
Under the encnantment of its soothing strains he
became like the dreamy eaters, lost to every
thing else, and slumbered while other members OF
his party were seeking to wipe out the tariff on
lumber.
The Junior Sawmill Senator has begun by doing
nothing and is likely to do more of it as time and
opportunity afford.
The Washington times., 1913-01-13
THE DISTRICTS SLEGIsLATIvE SITUATION

Many months ago the Senate passed a public
utilities commission bill for the District of Columbia
Since it passed. con<tions have arisen which
emphasize the need of such public authority as it
proposes to confer the public utilities of this
city.
Nevertheless the House District Committee per-
sists in refusal 10 give the bill attention.
If this measure passed, tine commission it con-
templates could protect the public interest in the
matter of consolidation and initiation of street car
properties.
1t has become apparent that the bill will not pass
al this session, unless there is an extraordinary
change in conditions 1t is manifest, further, that
the need for such law is more pressing and imminent
than when the measure passed the House.
Therefore, Senator La Toilette has introduced a
bill which aims to head off the pending utilities mer
ger. II might be described as an emergency bill
Its theory is that whereas the utility commission bill
has small chance of passing this session; and where
as irreparabIe damage may be inflicted on local in
terests; therefore the merger is enoined temporarily
pending the time when it may be submitted to soms
adequate supervisory authority, and either forbidden
or so modified that it will conserve public interests.
In snort, the La Toilette measure might be re
earded as analogous TO a temporary injunction.
This legislative injunction is needed. lher

THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION.

The House of Representatives few days ago
gave an adverse vote on the bill to incorporate the
Rockefeller Foundation Because OF lack OF quorum.
tine measure went back to the calendar. It will come
up again shortly.
AS originally introduced in the Senate, this bill
deserved to be defeated. 1t was dangerous, ILL
dipested and vicious as precedent even though
no advantage might be taken of its loose pro-
visions in the administration of the great fund Mr..
Rockefeller proposes to donate
But since that time the measure has been rad-
cally changed The objections nave been met in a
spirit which leaves doubt OF good purpose, no
reason to suspect bad one. The bill as it stands
TODAY ought not to be beaten simply because damned
by the wrath of the original measure.
Gentlemen who fear that it is dangerous to
INCORPORATE such vast estate as Sl00O00O0O, lest
il NAV WELD corrupting influence in the nation,
should 20 back to the debates on the incorporation
of the Smithsonian Institution. In that day OF more
modest fortunes and more comprehensive hgures,
precisely the same arguments were advanced against
halfmon-dollar corporation of this character that
are now voiced against milliondollar bene-
faction. the objection is unjustifable now as il
was then The Smithsonian has done great work
and the Rockefeller Foundation will do a piopor-
tionately greater one if given the chance. The
Rockefeller Hookworm commission, the General
Education Board, the Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research, are all testimonies to tine good faith
and purpose of the oil kings endowments.
1t isn't necessary to approve Mr. Rockefeller or
the uay he pot his hundred millions, in order to
recoonze that those hundred millions can be made
useful to society if society will give them chance
To reject them would be short-slghted and narrow
beyond comprehension.

AGED MESSENGER BOYS.

If YOU have happened to need the services OF a
Western Union messenger boy within the past few
days you nave doubtless been surprised to find that
your call was answered not by boy but by full
grown man from fifty to seventy years old.
You have no doubt wondered why these men
were working for boys wages; why in the twilight
Of their lives they were forced to answer the beck
and call of jingling bell and run the errands of
public busy with greater tasks.
There can be but one answer. The work of a
messenger boy was the way to a living, perhaps in
some cases the only way to a square meal and a
place to sleep. And you said to yourself, Something
was wrong in that mans scheme of life. In the
mathematics of existence he subtracted when he
should have added; he divided when ne should have
multiplied And you were probably right.
In some cases it may have been misfortune; in
most of the cases it was probably mprovdence. The
most of these men doubtless had their chance"-bu
failed Most of them probably could nave saved
money, but didn't. Most of them were busy with
other matters when Opportunity knocked and after
waiting for an answer went away. Probably few o
them ever had a bank book were on speaking
terms with savings account.
If you are young man every visit of these
messenger boys" ought to be lesson, lesson tc
stir ambition, to encourage industry to instl fru
gality 1t ought to send you post haste the receiv
ing teIlers window of tine nearest bank with ever
available penny you have and determine you to ado
10 your balance every pay day. The lessons of lif
ere less painfully learned from example than from
experience, and the aged messenger boys" shoulC
not be without their influence you.
