THE COMMON SENSE OF 1T.

The Baltimore News contributes a suggestion to
this freight delivery discussion that is worth con-
si6eraton. The railroads voluntarily granted this
service many years ago. Business development in
both cities, Washington and Baltimore, has been
based on the presumption that this was the regular
thing. 1t has become the fixed, established unques-
toned practice of business. Merchants have not
organized their business planned their constructions
or allied themselves with street transport facilities
with reference to the possibility having to perform
this service on their account.
1t is, moreover service that very plainly can be
done more cheaply by the railroads than by the
merchants themselves 1t is done by the railroads .
most countries md ought to De done in this If it be
true that Washington and Baltimore are exceptions
among American cities in that they have this service
it is also true that American cities are exceptions
among cities of the world, in that they don't have
such service.
The railroads unquestionably are getting this de-
livery and collection of freight done, in both Wash
ngton and Baltimore for something like half what it
will cost il the merchants compelled to do il for
themselves They are probably getting the business
done efficiently and with better general results
than il could be done by the merchants for them
selves.
The Baltimore News suggestion is that inasmuch
as the railroads can do the work cheaper than the
merchants can, they ought to be induced to continue
it, even if the merchants must pay them for doing
IT, The idea is good one. The business men of the
two cities should certainly not consent to withdrawal
Of this privilege without struggle but at least they
and the railroads ought to be able to agree not to
destroy longestablished and efficient organization
for doing this work in a wholesale way.
Down at the bottom of the whole matter, however,
is the big question whether these two towns are to
be deprived of the natural advantage their locations
give them. Coastwise shipping used to make the
rate basis for these cities 1t gave these cities the
delivery service they have so long enjoyed That is
Q proper and legitimate advantage. Any commercial
center is entitled to the advantages which favorable

TARIFF REVISION AS A BUSINESS
QUESTION.

I'VE are not going to take up time discussing this
hill" saws Senator Simmons of North Carolina, who
has charge of the tariff bill in the Senate Continuing
he said
If the bill proves not to be for the benefit Of
the country it will demonstrate that ideas Of
tariff are wrong if it proves to be well for the
country it will demonstrate that the opposition is
wrong That is all there is to that proposition,
and we are ready and anxious now to pass the
bill.
This is precisely the attitude of the general public
toward tariff revision and there is gratifying evidence
that it is the attitude of many manufacturers whose
interests are seriously affected one way the other.
A few days ago the following authorized state
ment was made giving the views of the Yale and
Towne Manufacturing Company, whose chief products
are locks builders hardware, and chain blocks, in
regard to the bill
The conclusions reached by its managers
that while they would have preferred a somewhat
less severe reduction than A per cent trom 45
cent to 25 per cent ad valoTem) and to have had
the reduction take place gradually, say in two
three installments, they not alarmed and are
ready to give the rates fair trial If they
prove not to be injurious, all concerned will be
content. If experience shows them to be seriously
injurious, it may fairly be assumed that Con-
gress will correct the error within reasonable
time and before any permanent damage has been
inflicted. Until the rates have fairly been
tested no one know whether their ultimate
effect will be harmful or beneficial
Notwithstanding insistence that the tariff is a
political question which must always be passed upon
at the polls by voters who know nothing about it, we
are having the best of evidence that the country is
reaching the commonsense conclusion that the tariff
is a business question which should no longer he
made football of politics
There is growing indication that the workings Of
The new tariff bill will be followed with intelligent
hl;c interest and that where defects are discovered
there will be demand for their correction without
any of the root-andbranch business which has been
considered necessary heretofore in enactng any sort
o. tariff reform
1t is not so long step from this policy to handing
the matter over to non-partsan commission, the goal
toward which we are gradually tending despite poll
ticans who wish to keep the question in politics be-
cause il makes fine issue"

ONE FAITHFUL sERVIToR, ANYHOW.

, The coroner who sat on the latest New Haven
railroad wreck horror brought in report and verdict
which are wonders in their way. The details are tn-
important; it is sufficient to know that the coroner
finds that the railroad company was not to blame.
Nobody was TO blame. Things might have been
different, and the thing even might not have hap
pened if they had been sufficiently different II was
too bad it happened; but it Just happened" and
nobody is to blame.
There was time when, by dint of controlling all
the coroners, the city and town authorities egisla-
lures, State officials and commissions, the New Haven
found such reports as this perfectly satisfactory
But how ptful it sounds now, how much bit of
frayed-out humor-this effort of loyal coroner to
exonerate the New Haven!
:. Things have changed in New England.

ONE EXCUSABLE WASTE.

They are worrying good deal on Capitol Hill
about cutting down the Governments printing ex-
pense. The idea is projected by certain economists,
that its altogether too easy to get almost anything
printed in the Record or as public document.
Without doubt lot of things get into Govern
menr print that are not worth the cost But the fact
stands that the privilege of print is next to that of
talk, Congress and its printing committees can af
ford to waste few thousands a year rather than
attempt to make rules which would do more harm
than good.
Even Sugar at Glance" came high and looked
like mighty nasty job. But it pointed moral and
adorned a tale well worth the. expense. ---s

Unadulterated Olive OH.
From The Times Readers
To the Editor OF THE TINES:

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
In recent edition of your paper you
published a cable from Italy referring
to olive oil imported from Italy. We
have since noticed that the same article
has been printed IN other reputable
papers in this country, making It evil
dent that some one with selfish motives
Is Hbeling importers of Italian olive oil.
In your article, you stated that all
olive oil imported from Italy. was adul-
terated. as no pure Italian olive oil was
exported from Italy to America.
Anyone who knows anything at all
about the pure food - and drugs act.
knows this to be untrue, for the reason
that no adulterated olive oil could enter
United States port, as the United
States authorities sample every ship
ment, and nothing but pure olive oil is
admitted as olive oil.
: Furthermore. the pure food and drugs
inspectors have been very aggressive in
running down persons mislabeling olive
OIL in this country, and there is prac-
tically no adulterated olive oil sold in
the United States today.
II Is very easy to detect as little as
2 per cent adulteration in olive Oil. Had
your article stated that all pure olive
oil imported from Italy is not good
quality It would have been correct, for
while the pure food and drugs act pre-
vents the Importation and the selling in
this country Of adulterated olive oil as
olive oil, II does not prevent the i'm
portation or selling OF Inferior qualities
of pure olive oil, and some pure olive
oils are not as good as adulterated olive
oils would be.
The only protection the consumer has
is to buy a brand Of well-known
packer, for this party has a reputation
to uphold, and must put up only good
quality pure olive oil. The fact that the
olive oil Is in an original, imported
package Is no guarantee that the olive
oil is Of good quality, because some Of
the poorest olive oil comes In the pref
test imported packages.
Of course what applies to imported
olive oil, applies to California olive oil
as well. for there is more poor quality
california olive oil in the market than
there is good quality.

THE PRESIDENT AND MEXICO.

President Wilson has taken one more step which
indicates his determination to throw this country
influence in favor of righteous settlement of the
Mexican troubles. Under the act of March, 1912 he
has now ordered that no arms or munitions shall be
sent from this country into Mexico. That measure
gave the President discretion to prohibit such move
ment of arms or to determine which side might have
them The consttutonalists have been unable to get
supplies of this kind while the Huertistas have en-
joyed the privilege.
Doubtless the constitutional party would have
been better satisfied with order allowing all sides
the general right to import arms and supplies; they
have long insisted that with chance to equip them
selves, they would end the Huerta government very
shortly Next to giving them chance to arm, the
most satisfactory treatment is to take that special ad-
vantage away from their enemies.
The Mexican crisis cannot be delayed many days.
Ambassador Wilson will be in Washington this week.
1t is known that the President has been gathering
much detailed information about conditions in Mex
ico and the charges that have been made against the
ambassador. These charges the ambassador Will
have to answer. They have TO do, among other
things, with his subserviency to the Huerta regime,
his complaisant attitude toward it at the time of the
murder of Madero, his alleged attitude of amabity
and helpfuness toward certain business interests and
groups in Mexico. All these charges have been de-
veloped in reports lately received by President Will
son.. 1t is common knowledge that bitter assaults
have been made on the ambassador The President
sent William Bayard Hale as confidential agent to
report on the whole situation and at least part OF
the Hale report has come to Washington. 1t is de-
clared on the best information to be highly uncom
pImentary-to say the least-n its consideration of
Ambassador Wilson.
The first thing President Wilson needs to do is
to- learn all about the relations Of his ambassador to
the various groups and elements in Mexico When
he learns that, he will lose no time making change
of ambassadors Mr.. Wilson ought not to be per-
mitted to resign and retire without investigation
Of his course He has been so long under charges,
specific and most detailed, that nothing less than AM
investigation in public, and determination Of the
merits, can be fair to either him or the public interest
If Mr.. Ambassador Wilson has been slandered by
those who have said that he could have saved Ma
dero and could have prevented the Huerta seizure
of power, he ought to want the truth to be known.
If he has not been slandered then he deserves to be
dismissed from the diplomatic service in fashion
that will give some emphasis to the operation.
