LORD CoWDRAY's SURRENDER.

Lord Cowdray, who Sir Weetman Pearson,
head of the vast Anglo-Mexican group n oil, rail-
roads, mines and pretty nearly everything else, has
appealed to the United States Government for pro-
lection. Lord Cowdray has for long time been the
invisible government in Mexico except that his oper-
atons have been so bold, under Diaz and later under
Huerta that the invisible government was thorough
ly visualzed in his person. He has been suspected,
for very good reasons, of intrigue with the British
government to keep its sympathes on the Huerta
side At the bottom the British admlraltys ambition
to establish an independent course of oil supplies for
its navy has been credited with much of the kindly
interest it has taken in the Pearson enterprises.
The Washington Government is asked to protect
the Pearson concerns in Mexico, and incidentally
is gven rather ardily would appear, the assurance
that it has not been and is not now giving financial
aid to Huera 1t will be unnecessary to pry too far
into the quality of this disclaimer 1t is enough to
know that Cowdray now does repudiate Huerta be-
fore the world. That fact will not fail to impress
the fact that Huertas most wealthy and potent friend
sees the inevitable, and is getting under cover
1t should be possible before very long now to
force the hand of Huera by the processes of starv
alton. Perhaps his customs revenues will have 20
be shut off, if so, the United States is able easily
enough to apply the right pressure at the right places

THE CASE OF MISS BURNS.

Miss Lucy Burns, suffragist leader, has submitted
to arrest a warrant which the police department
has issued charging her with responsibility for chalk
ing on the sidewalks notices of suffrage meetings.
The activity and zeal of Our police authorities in
this case justify much satisfaction to the public 1t
is good thing to see how much more enthusiasm
is displayed about looking after the public interest
than was manifested, say, March last Plainly,
the police department is going to show the ladies,
who complained bitterly at that time, that it can be
tremendously efficient when it feels that way. Pos
sibly the ladies will have doubts about the de-
siraoility of having all the efficiency aimed against
them, instead of having some of it work for them
occasionally; but they must not be .hypercrltlcal
They don't understand the business of government,
anyhow they are only women.
The prosecution of Miss Burns, in this instance,
leads up to hope that presently there will be re-
crudescence of police interest in running down some
of the robbery hold-up and other serious which
in large numbers have gone unexplained and un-
punished in this Capital. The department by begin
ming at the bottom, with the modest little offenders
the people who leave word where they can be found
if an officer drops in to arrest them during the lunch
hour-wi accumulate lot of experience that may
in time serve it in good stead when there is real
crime to be ferreted out public parade to be pro-
fected

PRACTICAL" CONSERVATION.

The practical men in the conservation congress
protested vigorously against regulation which would
retard the development of water powers. They in
sisted that with conditions imposed upon the tenure
and operation of water powers, money could not be
secured with which to develop them. None the less,
the convention by an overwhelming majority voted
against this practcal vew and sustained the policy
that was laid down by Roosevelt developed under
Fisher, and is today accepted by the country the
one assurance of safeguarding the national interests.
generation and two generations ago this "prac-
teal" view applied to the development of the forests,
the COAL the public domain, and the rest of the
natural resources of the country. Give EN- to any
body that would develop EN-: that was the slogan.
The same rule applied to the franchises of the
cities which wanted modern traction, electric and gas
lights, power, and the like. Franchises were given
for almost any term that was asked on practically
whatever terms were suggested. Now the cities are
everywhere fighting to determine whether they are
in the hands of perpetual monopolies, and legsla-
lures and courts striving to modify the grants that
were made so freely and with almost no effective
conditions.
Let the practical" view of water power, which
has been defeated in the conservation congress- pre-
vail in the national legislature, and generation
hence will see the country striving to undo the mis-
takes of this era 1t may be urged that capital is
unwilling to finance the developments unless it gets
assurance of unregulated monopoly. But more likely
capital is holding off to get everything it can. Let
proper policy be definitely adopted, and con-
ditions will adjust themselves to it. The failure OF
the "practical view to capture gathering in which
determined efforts had been made to secure CONTROL
indicates that it is going to be very difficult to re-
verse the national sentiment on this subject

NOT IN THE RIGHT TONE.

The Senate committee deadlocked because the
BANGING has gained the ascendency When priv
iece is on the defensive action postponed is action de-
feated The failure of the Senate committee to is
not an irtIIectua accident 1t is prearranged triumph
for the national banks.-New York World
The bankers arguments have led to the delay
in the Senate there is no denying Those arguments
have led to changes which President Wilson himself
deems advisable in the Administration bill and the
logic of which Chairman Glass, of the House conf
mittee himself assents to-.
AS to further delay, the banking and business
interests are still contending for four points. The
chief of these, the most sharply fought for, is
provision for the redemption Of the United States
promises to pay in gold and not in paper.
1t is strictly possible that no such crisis would
come as to make Government notes meaningless
pieces of paper. 1t is not for fear of such crisis
that the "or lawful money" clause is being con-
demned. If such crisis did come, the bankers
would suffer less than the general public trying to
meet sky-high prices If it does not come, they are
certainly no better off than the public for having
the nations credit unimpared.
In all these four points at issue there is now no
reason why satisfactory agreement should not be
reached. The bill that was 80 per cent good has
been made more than 80 per cent good But to

INITIATING CARRANZA'S BALLOON?

1t is very important in Mexico that a man as
pring to be admired should keep his personal glory
beautifully FURNISHED. In Mexico it would be mpos-
sible for anybody to be popular leader who could,
under any circumstances bend his knee before the
United States
Suppose in our State Department there should
be the deep craft of Talleyrand Suppose on the in
ternational checkerboard should play with 6nesse
looking far beyond the present and working ends to
ordinary eyes undiscoverable. Suppose it should
seem very cunning thing to make it appear to the
Mexicans that Carranza great enough and valiant
enough to dare to rebuff the United States Govern
ment.
Well that wouldn't do Carranza any harm with
the Mexican people. Americans are material prac-
teal race. What they want is results.
So now if some Talleyrand in our State Depart
ment should be playing subtle game like that secret
y letting guns and gold slip into Carranzas hands,
yet making it appear to the Mexicans that Carranza
could defy the wishes of anybody except the Mexi-
and the help of anybody except the Mexi-
cans-why then grape juice statecraft might be de-
lvering the goods!

HALF.FAREs FOR THE STRAPS.

Ii is an axiom of the street car transportation bus
ness that the dividends are in the straps That is
the profits in the failure to give adequate service
in getting the pubc's money for service which isn't
rendered to it. All over the country there is an
uprising against the further acceptance of this rule of
the business 1t realized that the public is entitled
to what it pays for and that it ought to pay in pro-
portion as it is served.
That is why the Norris measure to provide half
fares for the straphangers is worthy of commenda-
tion Overcrowdng of cars is unsafe unhealthy, and
altogether Objectionable. If the straps were taken
Out of the cars and the water out Of the shares there
would be no difficulty making ends meet and earning
substantial returns on capital actually invested Con-
gress and the Public Utilities Commission are direct
ing their efforts at these twin eliminatons, and the
public may reasonably hope for better conditions be-
fore long.

THE PUBLIC COMFORT STATIONS

The War Department authorities in control of
park spaces have undertaken plan of improvement,
in the matter Of public comfort stations, that does
not impress the community as an improvement at
all. In of the parks it is removing these very
necessary and desirable establishments away from
their central locations to sites on the borders Of the
parks, Immediately adjacent to the sidewalks and
under the windows of homes across the street.
This plan has been adopted as to the stations at
Lincoln Park Franklin Park and Lafayette Park No
obvious necessity for the change is apparent. A
chorus of protest has gone up from the neighbor-
hoods affected and there is good reason for it. Taking
the neighborhoods as a whole, the establishments
will be no more accessible, on the average, than
when located i'm the centers of the parks; and they
Will be vastly more Objectionable to the people of
the immediate neighborhoods concerned.
The District Commissioners have no authority in
the matter, though they should have. The wishes of
the people Immediately affected seem to be of small
concern to the military people who are making the
changes The Commissioners sent Assistant Corpor-
alton Counsel Whiteford to present their views to the
War Department. and urge that the comfort stations
be handled in such to the greatest
measure of benefits with the least objection to the
neighborhoods.
In the case of Dupont Circle, when Congress
made large appropriation to establish comfort
station of the underground and therefore, the least
offensive type, in an Objectionable location, the
by residents entered protest, and the action was
promptly rescinded. 1t is not apparent that the
wealthy and socially important people of the Dupont
section ought to be granted special consideration in
such affairs that is to be denied to other people. 1t
was natural enough that the objections should be
made and If was proper to yield to the objections
that were advanced; but the same rule should be
applied in other neghborhoods.
