STATE RIGHTS AND WATER POWER.

The Supreme Court last week decided in a Mich
igan case that ownership of riparian rights along a
river gave the owner no grip on the water power
Of the stream 1t held further that the water power
in navgable streams is the concern of the National
Government, not of the State.
This is decision that has long been needed to
clear up profound uncertainty regarding control
of water powers. Ii has been desirable that this
control should be lodged definitely in nation or State
not left in the obscury of the twilight zone 1t we're
better handed to the nation, and that is what this
decision does with it.
. II the decision appears, detailed study, to
reach as far now appears it answers conclusivey
the State rights argument for State control, and
opens the way to the only right policy in handling
the great water power resources Of the country The
National Government must see that hereafter no
more Of it is given away under conditions, or lack
Of conditions, which will serve the purposes OF
monopoGzaton.

AN ARGUMENT THAT WILL FAIL.

Principals Of schools that prepare youth for the
entrance examinations of the Military and Naval
Academies are protesting against a recent order of
Secretary Daniels. He has directed that enlisted
men shall be preferred in examinations for places
in the navy pay corps.
The school men say this is unjust to young men
who have prepared themselves especially for the
pay corps examinations. Maybe; but to reverse it
would be unjust to good many young men in the
navy whose service in humble grades has prepared
them for the promotion that ought to be opened to
them If they deserve well. The Secretary's order
ought to stand, and should be followed by more
orders opening the door of larger opportunity for
the enlisted men.

GETTING DOWN TO BRASS NAILS.

At first glance, it may seem odd that the Depart
ment of Agriculture should have special business
with the architects of city homes as an incident to
helping the farmers. Yet it has, and the business is
highly important, too.
In organizing project for the new office of
markets, dealing with the marketing Of farm products,
the department has indicated as one Of the tasks
to be undertaken the study Of methods by which
consumers would buy in larger quantities, including
education of architects and builders in cellar con-
structon, etc."
That makes it palmer doesn't it! Living costs
are high largely because city folk live in pgeonhole
apartments, with "kitchenettes" and "cellarettes"
and facilities for storing and preserving stocks
Of supplies The good old days when the house
holder bought a wagonload of potatoes in the fall
and put them in the cellar for winter gone. The
farmer doesn't expect to sell that way, and the town
man has no way to handle his products.
What the department has in mind is to find a
way to adapt new sort Of cellar to the require
ments of city dwellers Maybe some day we will
see seventeen-stoy apartment house above ground,
with catacombs of underground cells beneath each
apartment having its own designated cellar apart
r1ent properly ventilated and maintained at proper
coolth for preserving vegetables, etc. Why not?
Why should the proprietor of an apartment house
furnish heat for his tenants any logically than
coolness? Why high-class heating plant any more
than an ammonia refngeratng paraphernalia?
The Washington times., 1913-06-02

whose cases must be passed upon, and it is severe
task for the men making up the plucling board
The fact that such procedure is needed suggests
that there is something wrong with the naval organ
izaton. Seemingly, while the navy has been growing
in force and numbers Of men and ships, and while
we have been constantly concerned over the diff
Guilty of getting ships manned with seamen, we have
been educating too many officers. The personnel
would appear to have grown top-heavy; too many
officers, too few men.
New and special inducements have lately been
offered to men to enlist in the navy, including the
resolve to send the Atlantic fleet for long cruise in
Mediterranean waters. 1t would seem that some
what more considerate and humane means might
be found for keeping down the excess Of numbers
in the higher grades, without forcing good officers
out of the service. ..- .....s ...

NEARING THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.

The United States is not the only country in
which money for big industrial and transportation
purposes is tight. The Prussian government, which
controls the great Pussan-Hessian system of state
railroads that dominates the state railway fabric of
al Germany. finding itself in need of SIS OOO, 900
to build new lines. is offering loan to raise that
amount, and the cables say it is doubtful if the loan
will be subscribed. ... :.
The modest requirements of the German system
seem trivial compared with the needs of American
railways. But Germany is engaged in the terrific
competition of armaments, and is called in time of
peace, to meet France the battlefield where
Fnnce's superiority is hardly questionable that
OF finance. The struggle to build q navy in compe-
titon with Great Britains and to maintain an army
assuredly more powerful than that of France, places
Germany, not so wealthy a nation as either of the
Others, in position whence it is hard to discern
comfortable emergence War with France as soon
as possible might be the best way out for Germany
on that side; but war with France likely would
involve also war with Britain; and that would be as
untimely for the German navy as it would be for
the French army.
So the railways may have to wait while the ever
lasting armament competition absorbs national re-
sources Such incidents suggest how near the war
preparation struggle is bringing Europe to the verge
OF the economic breakdown that must inevitably come

AT LAST, A MEXICAN LOAN.

The most confident announcement yet made
regarding the muc-desired loan to the Huerta gov
ernment in Mexico comes from New York, apparently
with Partisan authority, and is to the effect that
lean has been secured partly for the general purposes
of the government and partly to meet the require
ments of the Mexican National Railways. 1t is easy
to believe that our Government will not be pleased
at the action of the French and New York interests
that have thus come to the rescue of a government
which Washington to this time has refused to recog-
nize However European indifference to our wishes
regarding Mexico has been indicated heretofore,
notably in the British governments acceptance Of an
ambassador from Huerta. II would seem that the
French financiers-always close to their government
ARE disposed to assume the same attitude and that
complications are preparing that may force the
American hand as it has not been forced heretofore
in connection with our attitude toward the Monroe
Doctrine.
That the Huerta government will be permanent,
or will pave the way to peace and good conditions,
is well-nigh beyond belief. The Europeans seem
willing to place bet that will; perhaps having in
mind that if it fails they will still be able to fall back
under the Monroe Doctrine.
If it be true that Huerta has negotiated and is
actually to realize this loan his posture in Mexico

least He needs cash than anything else, except
soldiers; cash. indeed being the prerequisite to get
ting soldiers. So it may be set down that with a
well-lined treasury he will presently appear in the
field with more strength and confidence and that
the consttutonalsts will have a longer and more
difficult task ahead of them than they have expected
Mexico's underlying problem is one of land ten
ures; of giving the people chance to get and hold
lands; to develop middle class agricultural popu
lation, coming between the arstocracy and the poems
who at present practically are the whole of Mexico.

A TRIUMPH FOR MR.. BRYAN.

Grapeuice diplomacy has its good points, entirely
aside from its publicity value. Nine nations have
sent word to Secretary Bryan that they are interested
in his worldpeace plan by which differing nations
are to agree to stop. look listen, and have their
troubles impartally investigated before either party
will start That is about far practical men
hope to get at present toward permanent peace guar
antees. 1t is a good deal more than the Taft Ad-
ministraton accomplished with its treaties looking to
a like general result. Mr.. Bryan is getting on. He
looks like man destined to achieve the greatest
diplomatic triumph of his time.

IMPOSSIBLE CAR SERVICE.

A passenger on Great Falls and Old Dominion
ear, coming in from day with nature around the
Falls. took census of the car 1t was Sunday
evening The car contained eleven seats on each
side OF its aisle; each seat built for two people; total
capacity, A.
The conductor rang up lis fares on the trip, and
the social surveyor counted l20 passengers in the
car ct one time.
That sort of service will kill the goose that lays
the golden egg of dividends 1t looks at first glance
like an astute solution of the problem of making
three passengers 60 where one ought to CO. Like
wise, it is efficient demonstration of the traction
ruism that the dividends are in the straps. But it
isn't the sort Of service that makes for business in
the long run; it IS the sort that warns people not
to try it second time.

THE NAVY PLUcKING BOARD.

II is distasteful duty which falls to the lot of
the navy plucking board. Once year it must sit
in judgment on the records and qualifications of the
naval officers below the rank of rear admiral
and pick out considerable number of them for
retirement. The general purpose and effect are
good The lower ranks must be thinned in order that
promotion may be faster, and that when men arrive
at the grade of rear admiral they may yet be young
enough to give them a chance to see some, real
service in that capacity and get the experience
necessary in the higher position if real efficiency
Is to be developed.
None the less it is trying time for the officers
