A NATIONAL CHARITY.

Prom the jacksonville Times Union
When there is a great calamity by IRE
or flood or frost, the House usually sends
a few dollars for sweet charity's sake,
and precedent has indorsed forgetful-
ness OF the fact that our Constitution
does not expressly give sanction TO such
use of the money derived from taxation.
But the House has gone further than
this in a recent instance, and It may be
that another precedent is being estab-
lished-why should the United states
donate a valuable property to provide
San Francisco with a supply Of water
II the city is too poor to get water Tor
herself she might be provided by the
rich State of California which is now
progressive as we'll: is the Hetch Hetchy
valley offered as a charity? II SO, can II
be denied that the United States should
he equally charitable to other cities? New
York has a bigger debt than San Fran
cisco and may. therefore. be considered
poorer, but she is providing her own
water supply-Jacksonville owes a debt
that grows. but she has not asked that
the government furnish her with water;
why not? Why should one city be so
kindly regarded by the House while
others are neglected?
When the San Francisco commission
asked for the valley IL was admitted
that equally good water might be Sc
cured elsewhere, but. said the spokes-
man. I'VE would have to pay for the
land" Just so. 1t is said the govern
ment owns the land and might give II
to the city-if the government does not
need the valley in its business why were
citizens denied the right to take it on
the same terms as other government
lands of like quality? II the city wants
II now, why should not the owner de-
mand the market price for II? Why
should property belonging to all be given
to some without compensation?
In principle We have here the same
kind of legislation and the public NOR
ais that imposed a protective tariff on
not needed for revenue, but
intended to take from one citizen to
enrich other citizens. But to us there
is no serious difference-we now have a
Democratic House adopting the princi-
pies that were practiced by Republican
Congresses for many years. No Demo-
cratic member should have voted to give
the property of the United States to
city-if the Senate accepts the view of
the House we insist that no Democratic
President can AFFORD to sign the Dill

Exploitation by Governments.

David Stan Jordan. in the Independent.
The governments OF the world take the
risks Of Imperialism. The great trading.
mining. and exploiting corporations re-
ceive the gains. In almost every large
transaction OF any government there is
this constant source of confusion. What
the nation expends should be balanced
by what the nation receives. II is not
enough TO estimate our "outgoes' on the
one hand and our receipts on the other
when the outgoes are drains on the pub
lie funds and the receipts are private
gains This fallaCy of administration
may be found on every hand in connec-
tion with almost every item of public
expenditure. Public expenditure turned
to private gain is the very essence of
Privilege. and privilege wherever found
Is the betrayer Of justice, the antithesis
Of democracy. Wherever privilege ex-
lists. it violates the principle of equality
before the law.
The British navy. among other things
is supposed to safeguard the Indian trade
The actual profits of this tradt cannot
much exceed he part Of naval expendi-
ture engaged in insuring it.
But this cost is paid by the British
people, while the profits of trade accrue

i1SAAS Nho aIe iSdsl hhSiN 10 ulNlOe with
the people at large, who have made great
fortunes possible.
The enrichment of a few at the public
cost is, in brief. the purpose and the re-
suit OF governmental promotion of out
side interests. Such exploitation finds its
comfortable environment in militarism. in
aristocracy, in a great armament, in pro-
lection, in subsidies. in Iargess to the
poor as substitute for justice, in the
Limitation of war to commercial spoilia-
ton. in armed peace with "a sword in
one hand and a withered olive branch in
the other"
such exploitation is opposed to the
spirit of democracy. Equality before the
law, equal access to opportunity, the alb
sence OF privilege, and an even justice
between men and interests are essentials
of democracy.

Getting Together.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News
According to what Col. Roosevelt said
publicly while in Chicago recently, Re-
publicans and Progressive party men
could get together IL the advocates of
amalgamation would adopt the Progress
sive party platform and all the principles
therein set forth. At first reading this
seems declaration of unalterable inten-
tion TO continue the Progressive party as
separate organization, without either
nope or real desire of union with the
Republican party. But Is il?

and similar reactionary practices cannot
bring success to the Republican party.
II Is only by assuming that the Repub-

ITS lesson that Col. Roosevelt's words
can be taken as an absolute bar to the
early union of Republicans and Progress
sives.
II the Republican party should con-

TO GET NEW ENGLAND.

From the Boston TRANSCRIPT
The prostration OF an industry in his

agreeable spectacle to a Democratic Con-
gresham than to a Republican Con-
gresham Workers thrown out Of work

responsible for their enforced idleness.
The present prospect Is that unless the

many New England voters who wanted

change back in November 1914
A Washington dispatch sets forth that
Congressman Thacher, who is Demo
crat and represents the Sixteenth Massa-
chusetts District. has addressed a protest
to Mr.. Underwood against acceptance OF
the Senate's action on the textile sched-
ule as discriminating against the New
England Industries. The Senate cut ana
sIashed the House rate. sometimes Dy
transference from the dutiable to the
free list and sometimes by the insertion
Of "jokers'' which practically sweep away
all protection. A specific instance citeo
by Mr.. Thacher is the practical freeing
of cotton blankets. OF which 4oO0.OOO pairs
are manufactured by one New England

price of cotton blankets. also gave its
destructive attention TO the silk, schedule
and here again. in the matter OF JAG
GUARD goods, Mr.. Thacher found dis
elimination against New England The
Senate was far more severe in its treat
ment of New England industries than
was the House, and Mr.. Thacher's efforts
are bent on securing a restoration OF the
House rates.
Mr.. Thacher is doing good work as iar
as IL goes, since the tariff bill as MIR.
Underwood framed II was less bad for
New England than as it had been
amended by the Senate. We wish Mr.
Thacher success, but we are surprised
that he is surprised. The Senate has
been more responsive TO the admtnistra-
tion's extreme views of tariff legislation
than the House. The administration does
rot care much for New England, which
il regards as a normally Republican,
section. Secretary McAdoo
is reported TO have explained to friend
who was uneasy over the possible effect
of the tariff bill that it got New Eng
land and was intended to get New

that Secretary McAdOo's use OF get in

The Commuters Position.

Frum the Detroit Free Pres.
Jerome S. McWade, one of the leading
members of the New Haven and Hart
ford Commuters Association, said in his
Stamford office:
I'VE commuters, we common people,
must protect ourselves. Otherwise we'll
be squeezed fiat between the officials and
the workmen. Wen be like the two
Americans in Paris.
"Once. in Paris, in the Bois, noticed a
tremendous disturbance and directed my
chauffeur to hurry to'the scene.
I'VE found two Americans and two
cabbies rioting terribly. We inquired
into the affair and learned that the cab
bies had bumped their cabs. After the
bump they had wrangled, from wrang-
ling they had turned 10 abuse, and,
finally, one cabby had said:
If you don't shut up I'll whack your
customer over the head with my whip
You hit my customer retorted the
second cabby. and I'll hit yours
Then first cabby had given the Sec
ond's customer a good cut, the second
cabby had cut the firsts customer In re-
turn, and that was what the row was all
about"

Indiana Too Busy.

From the New York Commercial
Most praiseworthy Is the mission OF Dr
Joseph Kossuth Dixon. who Is tourinI
the United States gathering the Indiana
together, seeking to inculCate loyalty to
the flag and to induce them to become
good American citizens. DIR. Dixon rep
resents Rodman Wanamaker. and tha
Federal government has sanctioned tha
work. President Wilson and Secretary
Lane, of the Department of the Interior,
have canned speeches on phonograph
records.
Great success has been reported and
Dr. Dixon undoubtedly has learned some-
thing from the Indians well as I'M
parting knowledge. For instance, the Ta-A
coma CWashD Ledger tells US that when
Dr.. Dixon arrived at the Cushman IN
dian School he was greeted by the pu-
pills and but three adults. despite the fact
that the superintendent of the school had
heraIded his coming far and near.
II transpires that the Indians in West
ern Washington were too busy at tho
time. They were pressed with business
were gathering in their crops, and many
were away on their vacations. All this
was made clear to the Ledger by Henry
c. Sicade an Indian, who has passed
beyond the era of paint, blankets,
feathers, reservations, rations. and
grunts. II is evident that DIR. Dixon ex-
pressed some dispIeasure at the slimness
of the attendance at his meeting II M
further evident that the Indians of West
ern Washington have solved the prob
lens Of assimilation for themselves.
I'VE have been citizens, voters, and
taxpayers for several years" says M3
Sicade. Which statement indicates that
there is little need for DR.. Dix0n's &C.
