which the American administration now
breads. and Intervention would follow al
most inevitably.
1t has been said in this connection that
it is practically certain that the United
States will have to .'go into Mexico soon
or or later, and that as long as war must
come. it would better come now. There
is no Justification for the assumption that
the United States is destined to inter-
vene in Mexico.< Certainly. the war that
is yet to be fought is still TO cost lives
and treasure and there is always the
chance of avoidance with honor. 1here Is
no unfighting "a war that has been waged.
no restoring the lives that have been
sacrificed. Undoubtedly President Taft, in
resisting the pressure that Is now pelns
brought to bear upon him to intervene. is
governed by this reflection and holds that
his duty lies to.this country at large more
definitely. than to the few foreigners IN
Mexico, who. at this time, are not in I'M
nincnt peril, but have fair chance OF
escape without further injury from the
difficulties that now prevail in the MeNl-
can capital.
Intervention in Mexico without question
means war with Mexico, and war with
Mexico in turn means a long and costly
struggle. Ii would be no short midsum-
mer campaign, with the navy as large
ly controlling factor for success, as IN
1898. 1t would be no military junket Of
fering opportunities for civilians to be-
come army officers of high rank in rev
months 1t would be a bitter, desperate
fight in a strange country, against prac-
tically. united people. united to the extent
of cordially disliking Americans. and. IN
tho event of an invasion. regarding them
all as eneInies The weight of numbers.
Sf eourss,.. Nould ultimately tell and tho
I nitcd States would accomplish its p,r-
pose of pacilication, but even with the
Ilick of, a short ma jor campaign leading
to the occupation of the Seaports and the
capital and the assumption of respon-
siBilitN. for Mexican government there
would be u long period of warfare in the
mountains against groups of guerrillas de-
tef.rnined to resist American authority to
the utmost
: These considerations amply justify the
delay in Intervention dictated by the pol
icy of the United States to withhold it's
hand as long as chance remains that
the MeXicans may settle their own dis
pute without too gravely imperiling Amer
lean rights.

A Chairman's Grievance.

Chairman Fitzgerald is doubtless SIN
cere in his complaints about the spirit of
his llow-democrats of the blouse re-
spectinS appropriations. 1t does not
| comport with campaign denunciation of
republican figures, or with campaign
promises of reform. The Baltimore plat
form speaks of the profligate waste of
money wrung from the people" and yet
| this House is setting the pegs in the mat
ter of voting supplies. What a great
character in fiction called 1.-The demned
total is away up yonder.
Nor does Mr.. Fitzgerald speak as a
public man brought up on small things
and therefore with "a narrow view. He is
a native of New York. and therefore fa-
miliar with government city and state,
conducted on lines of generous proper
tions Neither democrats nor republicans
in that state are educated as cheese
parers.
No. here is a man who by reason Of
his familiarity with the situation and his
responsibility to the House and the coun-
try has some cause for complaint, and
shows the courage of his feelings. He
has not asked that worthy projects be
denied, or starved with short allowances
DuI OILY tfldt liS ne hepl WIttllH Tca-
son. He wants the government properly
supported and thinks that is possible on
lower sums than this House is consider
ing.
Still. bad as they may appear, matters
for the democracy are not desperate. The
party win not be called upon to give an
account of itself at the polls on this score
until November of next year The pres
ent record, therefore, may be obscured
by the record of the first session of the
Sixty-third Congress, which will be demo-
cratic in both branches, and cooperating
for economy and reform with demo-
cratic President. If that record shows
retrenchment and a saving when the
present record shows waste, emphasis can
be laid on the later figures in the ap-
peal for the election of another demo-
cratic House.
And in the preparation of the new rec
ord Mr.. Fitzgerald should play. an in
fiuential part. He will again be chairman
of the appropriations committee, and the
better prepared for his important task
from the experience he has had and is
having in the same post in this House.
Not unlikely, however, he will discover
that. ON the economy issue, as on other
issues, his party, in order to secure
power, has ''overpledged" itself, as Secre-
tary Nagel recently phrased the matter.
1t has thundered too loudly in the index,
and will have to run chances Of being
embarrassed in next years congressional
ca ampaigns by comparisons between proc
lamations and performances. AS the
growth of the country cannot be stopped,
supplies for it's support must grow with
that growth.

The District Bill in the Senate.

y stronger or more convincing state
ment Of the Districts case in the matter
~ the organic act. with reference Ia the
street Improvement and sinking funditem
could not be desired than that made h%
tho Senate committee on appropriations
iu its report OH the District bill, which
appears in the news columns today. The
committee reports the bill to the Senate
with the Borland amendment regarding
street improvements eliminated and with
the usual language regarding the sinking
fund restored. Thus in these two vitally
important respects the bill is presented
in equitable terms. 1t is to be hoped that
the Senate will accept the measure as
thus drawn and that its conferees will in
the ultimate adjustment between the two
houses insist unhinchingly upon the re-
tention OF their draft.
The committee says that this is not a
new question, relating to the obligation
of the government to bear half the cost
of diScharging the Districts funded debt.
IL was settled many years ago and has
been recognized each year since. The COM
mittee points out that the courts have
construed the act of 1878 as an organic
act. intended TO dispose of the whole
question of "A government for the Dis
tFlct. Oll TINS OASIS the committee can
see no ground for disseminating the half
and-half payments for the liquidation of
the District debt and evidently regards it
as unnecessary to refer the matter to the
controller of the Treasury or other au-
thority for the Interpretation. At the
same time such a reference might be de-
sirable in the interest of a further defini-
ton of the governments obligations form
ally entered into and faithfully dis
charged for over a third of a century
Regarding the Borland amendment,
which throws upon the owners of abut-
ting property half the cost of paving and
resurfacing streets in the District, the
committee declares that this change
would be unjust to small property own
ers. and il refers to the disaster wrought
by the assessment plan when it was tried
in the District during the reign of the
board of public works. The present sys-
tenn has operated equitably during the
many years that it has been in opera
tion, and the committee sees no reason
for a reversion to a discredited and OBJ
viously unjust system.

spirit OF good will that has actuated re-
publican administrations. There may be
difference as to methods, but the objects
will still be cordial intercourse and more

this country is concerned, there is no

none if the contending forces now facing
each other in the capital will continue to

A visit to the Philippines will be es-

he stopped and glanced about. On an

The wise, cautious policy Of the Taft

has received the general support of the
nation The President and his advisers
are taking precautions to meet and COM
bat a condition Of anarchy. but they have
given assurance that they shall proceed
reluctantly and possibly only after an
express authorization by Congress if
troops are to- be landed. The American
people are fortunate in having a conscien-
tious and self-restrained administration
at the helm, and doubtless Mr. Wilson
will proceed with like reserve. Ameri-

to fear. but there is every likelihood that
