Directors

DIRECTOR is a man who goes

Some men belong TO as many as 40
directorates. After tInancler has
guessed wrong on the market a few
times and has gone out CT business

income, TO say nothing Of the govt by
serving on the directorate Of his
friends companies.
The beauty Of the director system.
as used by our greatest captains Of
sl1industry, is that IL provides a body
Of irresponsible men to assume the re
sponsibility. After a great financier

road system for a few years and has
reduced IL TO a shattered or debili-

The B. & O. Commuters Protest.

The commuters of the Metropolitan
hranch of the Baltimore and Ohio have
displayed commendable activity in or
@anizing for their protection from the
proposed increase of rates. They have
gone about the matter of getting their
side of the case before the interstate
commerce commission in a business
like way. and it is we'll assured in ad-
vance that they will not suffer from
lack of initiative. Their protest is base
IN main upon the ground of inequality
and discrimination in the matter of
monthly and quarterly communication
tickets. the proposed increases in which
they contend are disproportionate and
unjustifia BILE. This IS an item of mate
rial Importance to these patrons of the
road who have made their homes in the
Maryland suburbs along this line large
ly on the basis of the established cost
Of transportation to and from Wash
ington. A sudden and material increase
in railroad fares puts them at a seri-
Gus disadvantage, especially If. as they
table in its distribution Of the higher
lost of railroad travel A clear presen-
tation of their contention to the inter-
state commerce commission will with
"ut doubt insure them consideration in
season 10 prevent the injustice of the
imposition of discriminatory and bur-
.ensome rates.

as to golf play is a great cementer of
the affections? Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Underwood found 1t so.
Now may there not be in this popular
game the means of bringing the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Murphy together? Both
are golfers. Both refresh themselves
on the green when fatigued from po-
litical work. Which is the better player
is not known. The score of neither is
famous, and they have not played to-
gether.
But they might play together. New
York is not far away. and the links
near this town are excellent. Mr.. Muir
ply could run over with his sticks and
try his hand against Mr.. Wilson. If it
should appear that he is not as good at
the game as Mr.. Wilson, the latter
would doubtless deal as fairly by him
as Mr.. Underwood did-make him an
allowance and encourage him to i'm
prove his play.
Why the politicians take to golf has
never been explained. Nearly all do.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan are shin
ing exceptions. The formers outdoor
game is tennis, while the latter seems
to have no game at all. But golf seems
to have attracted and captured nearly
everybody else. Mr.. Wilson plays it
as industriously and with as keen rel
ish as his immediate predecessor in the
White House.
A feature in the game of politics is
putting the other fellow in a hole-or
as DR. Elliott of Massachusetts ex-
pressed it, depositing him in a cavity
1t requires skill and practice. Some
y,1av hav
famous for their scores. Maybe there
Is where the fondness of politicians for
golf comes in.
At any rate, Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Underwood have crossed sticks. so to
say. and come out of the contests warm
er friends than before. Why not others?

The Market Rentals.

Controller Downey's decision that the
rentals of the Washington Market
Company should have been paid from
1879 to 1888 wholly to the credit of the
United States, and from 1858 to the
present time equally to the credit of
the United States and the District of
Columbia, doubtless lays the foundation
for legislation providing for the repay
ment to the United States of the
moneys which have within those
periods been paid into the Treasury
exclusively to the credit of the District
The District cannot complain of such
a readjustment, even though it is
wholly innocent of any thought of
wrongdoing during the time that these
deposits of the market rentals were
made. From the beginning to the
present time all of the Bookkeeping of
this transaction has been in the hands
of the United States, with a preliminary
audit by the Treasury auditors and
with final supervision over the fiscal
equities by the controller of the Treas
ury. AS in other instances where the
District has been by special research
found to be in the Treasurys debt
through incorrect credits the fault has
lain solely with the federal authorities.
The District wants not one penny of
money placed to it's credit that does
not properly belong on that side of the
ledger. 1t does. however. protest
against any suggestion that accidental.
inadvertent miscredits of funds should
be attributed to a tendency to get
money out of the United States to
which it is not entitled. 1t welcomes
a manifestation of scrupulous observ-
ance of the laws governing the fiscal
relations between it and the United
States. Every decision such as that
which Controller Downey has just rem
dered, though involving perhaps the re-
fund to the United States of consid
cradle sum of money, emphasizes the
fundamental, organic character of the
act of 1873, which divides equally be-
tween the United States and the Dis
trict the cost of maintaining the ma
tional municipality.
