JOHNSON ON JUDSON.

1t is Il pleasure TO commend Chair
man Johnson, of the House Commit
tee on District of Columbia, for
the sensible and frank statement he
has made about his attitude toward
Col. William V. Judson, former In
gineer Commissioner. Mr.. Johnson
is not suspected in any quarter of
entertaining an affection for Colonel
JUdson; but none the less, the Dis
trict chairman wants it understood
that his committee is not TO be
turned into a sewer for scandal, Ur a
club for pelaboring Colonel JIdson.
This is manly and straightfOr-
ward. The charges" that were
made by Congressman Cary against
Colonel Judson were notorioLsly
without substance or justification,
and a serious investigation Of them
would be nothing more nor less than
an effort to wreak spite against
man who in the prosecution of Of
fetal duties made antagonislns.
Colonel Judson needs no vinGication,
and is not entitled to be prosecuted.
Chairman johnson recognizes the un
fairness of the proposed inquiry, and
has done the right thing, on which
The Times felicitateS him.

profitable to the municipality as we'll
as source of saving to the citizens.
Let the cases of Nashville and DC-
lIth and the long string of cities
which own all or much of their light
ing establishments, be investigated.
The recommendation of the CON-
missioners should be adopted. There
is no danger of unfairness to the
gas properties. There can be no con-
tiscation. They will be fairly paid.
1t is the only course that will in-
sure fair treatment for the public.
There ought to be, and there must
be, an end of manipulating and infla-
tion of the public utilities of this
city. The thing has long since been
overdone.
The people of Washington should
remember that day as a red letter
occasion, on which the Board of
Commi Ssioners officially demanded of
Congress the power and authority to
enter definitely on the program of
ownership. It marks the
longest step in modern. enlightened
policy, that has been taken by this
Government in a good many wears.

MAKING 1T UNANIMOUS.

1t is stated that just two national
banks have notified the Federal au-
tkorities that they will decline to
accept the terms of the new cur-
rency act. Preferring to remain out
side, they have elected to forfeit
their charters as national institu-
tions.
Meanwhile about 5000 national
banks have accepted the terms of the
new law, and it is considered pos
sible that all the rest will come in.
The thing is going to be SO nearly
unanimous that the exceptions will
hardly be numerous enough to prove
the rule.

LITTLE DANGER OF CIVIL SERVICE STRIKE.

John b. Colpoys, president OF the
Central Labor Union, declared en-
phaticaIly today that the last resort
OF the labor movement-the strike
would not, in his opinion, ever be
. considered as affecting the civil ser
vice workers here or elsewhere. L
do not believe the time will ever
come" said he. when, in this in
stance, we would nave to resort to
labor's very last resort, the strike.
We never will look TO it, but we Will
endeavor to better the conditions OF
Government workers only through
the medium of legislation, in appear
ing before Congress"
Frank Morrison. secretary OF the
American Federation of Labor, said
that all the work of organization
would be done through the Central
Labor Union.
Union To Be National.
1t was made plain that the ulti-
mate aim of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor is the organization of
Federal workers everywhere. includ-
ing the thousands OF Government
clerks as we'll as skilled artisans.
Most of the tradesmen employed
by the Government in large numbers
already are organized" said Mr..
Morrison. and the next step is to
unity the Governments semi-skiiled
labOrers. Already. a large number
OF clerks and bOOkkeepers have
shown a desire to unite and become
a part of the federation.
The work of organizing will not
be confined to Washington. Every
large center Of Government activity
comes within the scope of the plan.
We do not expect any mushroom
growth of these unions, but the pres
ent prospects are for uninterrupted
progress.

A POSTMASTERS CON-
VENTION?

Gen. Jacob S. Coxey, whose threats
must needs be taken the more seri-
ously in view of the experience he
gave this town on former occasion,
announces that he is going to raise
sn army of 100000 men and march
on Washington.
He proposes to be here with mis-
army by May 1. He intends to do
this in order to impress the Gov
ernment with the needs of the COM
mon man.
The common man to the number Of
100000 may not find time to make
the march, but if the general can
mobilize the postofice candidates for
the occasion he certainly will sue
ceed in putting fear into the hoarts
Of the folks now trying to run the
Government with some regard for
the provisions of the merit laws.

THE PACE OF ALE.

That lie travels in seven-league
boots is again demonstrated by the
amazing record of the particular
egregious one about the government
OF Japan selling arms direct to tie
Huerta regime in Mexico.
That story was shelved long ago.
yet on the heels of some White
House conference this week it was
revived with an especially effective
and authoritative setting, and set at
work again doing damage.
The mischief-makers will at length
succeed IN causing real trouble be-
tween this nation and Japan, if their
mendacity continues utterly unre-
strained and uncurhed. 1t is now
very specifically denied that any
body ever authoritatively charged
that the japanese government sold
arms to Huerta. Private people in
Japan did sell them, precisely as pri-
"ate people in the United States have
done. If it is an unfriendly act for
manufacturers in Kobe to sell arms
about Huerta, how about manufac-
.Grers in Connecticut?
But the denials will never catch
Up with the original lie, and national
-eelng will be aroused here. Just as
stional resentment will be excited N
'iSpan. There never was 4 more
;agrant illustration of reckless effort
. exaggerate insignificant differ
caces into a basis for a tremendous
conflict, than has been presented in
the relations between the United
States and Japan. We judge that
he demagogues of both countries
ere about equally to blame. But
J'pan's demagogues are not our af-
tGir; our own demagogues are.

SHELBY M. CULLOM.

With the passing of Shelby M.
Cullom, there is broken one of the
very, very few remaining human
links that bind the present to the
ante-bellum period Of public life. It
is difficult to realize the lapse be-
tween the first and the last public
service Of Senator Cullom. He was
the close friend Of Lincoln when
Lincoln was lawyer in Springfield;
largely through the friendship of
Lincoln, Cullom was chosen city at
torney Of that town in 1855. From
then until his retirement from the
United States Senate less than
year ago, he was in continuous, pub
lie service. Without exception, it
was the longest continuous public
career recorded in the annals OF
American public life.
Only very few years ago, the
"last surviving member" of the Re-
publican national convention of 1860
was being discovered every little
while, in one section of the country
or another. John A. Kasson, who
was not only a member of the con-
vention but leader in it, was able,
shortly before his death, to name
considerable group of those survi-
vo-s; but it is believed these have
low all passed from the scene. Sen
ator Cullom was not member Of
that convention, but he was a very
active participant in the affairs of
that time, and indeed in the bust
ness of the convention itself.
Such remarkable career, long
lifetime holding elective office of the
highest public trust, is the highest
testimonial of the trust and affection
Of the people; and that is not to be
Won save by deserving it. Shelby n.
Cullom did win it by deserving it. In
recent years, indeed, he was more or
less out of step with the procession:
things had moved too fast for him to
keep up. That is commonly true Of
old men. Those veterans who, like
Gladstone, can march down the vista
Of the years, and always keep at tie
head Of the procession, are the very
rare exceptions. Cullom was not
one of them; but on the other hand
he never fell into the ways of tory
ism. He was one of the founders of
the system of railway regulation
that is now established as so import
ant part of the national policy IN
dealing with great business. His con-
trihution to constructive legislative
programs, first and last, was import
ant. if not of the very highest rank.
No man of his gencration---or
rather, of his three generations-had
so wide an experience of public life
as he; none knew more beautiful
friendships and fewer enmities. he
was a man who commanded and got
the real affection of those who came
in touch with him. His death takes
away the last first-class figure TO
survive from the day in which his
career was the promising one Of Il
youhg man.

In the work of organizing, Gov

TO the point where those of complex
occupations must have separate or
ganizations.
Before asking Government work
ers to come In with us, we will first
show them the benefits to be derived
from organization. They viii be sent
literature and asked to meetings. We
are going to ask the American Fed
Grafton of Labor for literature.
we realize that il will be uuite "A
task to organize the Government
workers. and that it will not be ac-
complished in day or two, or even
during one Administration. We ex-
pect steady progress and nothing
spectacular. We are lust starting
an earnest and what we believe will
be a long campaign.
Only Hope For Pensions.
We expect to convince the Gov
eminent workers that the only hope
for pensions or increased pay lies in
organization. This will be held I'D
as an allurement. With the 2.O0OOOO
workers in affiliated organizations
behind them. they can attain atten-
ton from Congress that would not
otherwise be Forthcoming. Every
man and woman under the banner of
the Federation will pull for the Cav
ernment workers here, once they are
affiliated.
Our principle obstacle viii be the
misapprehension as to the term Ia
bOr.' There are many who feel that
they are not labOrers, but we hope
to dispel this cIisapprehension.
IF Government workers were
worth the salaries they were Dhid
more than fifty years ago, how is II
possible that with the general in
crease in. other walks OF life they
are worth only the same amount?

feCtion of its civil service system.
