Charley Murphy. the owner of the
Chicago Cubs. fooled everybody when
he sold out his interests in his ball
club on Saturday. It was a big game
trump card at the vital time. 1t was
rare judgment on his part, no matter
what his enemies may say. and it
shows such rare business ability that
it is dollars to dimes Murphy will not
be out of baseball very long. He de-
clares he is through for good and
that he is the happiest man in the
world to be free and clear of all the
annoying entanglements of the great
national game. but you can put down
a fair-sized wager that Mr.. Murphy
Will bob up serenely in the not dis
tant future and have something TO
say in some league or other.
C.
In lisposing of his stock TO Charles
p. Taft, who first put him in the
game, Murphy returned one big favor
for another. He sold out quietly and
without a whimper, and he made all
the prognosticators look like chip
pies" by his way of doing business.
Everybody said that Murphy would
fight to the last ditch when President
Tener and the National League de-
clared he must step down and out;
but, instead. Charley took the big pile
of money offered him for his stock
and thanked all those concerned for
their kindness. Murphy, after it was
all over and he was out. said that he
was delightfully."- happy and that he
was through with baseball for good.
That's what they all say; but no man
who can play the game will remain
on the bench for any length of time.
On that you can bet the proverbial
bottom dollar we hear so much about.

This situation suggests that perhaps a
readjustment of relations between the
legislative and executive branches Of the
government is in progress, extending
further than has been hitherto supposed.
Under the British system the responsible
executives are themselves members Of
parliament and take part directly In all
legislative activities. The trainers OF the
American government sought to separate
the two functions as widely as possible.
OF course, II the majority members Of
the Senate committee wish to have MIR.

making that will contribute to the gayety

The Canal and Peace.

When the canal tolls question was under
discussion in Congress recently some op-
poYaent of the Presidents policy hailed
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
seceetary, as the greatest diplomat OF
the day, and ironically congratulated him
on his triumph over the administration.
The Star ventured the opinion that 1t
might appear Sir Edward had paid too
dearly for his whistle; that he had re-
awakened an anti-British feeling in this
country which had almost died out and
which but for the controversy over the
canal tolls would not have been revived.
Special mention was made Of the injury
likely to be inflicted on the movement
for formally celebrating next year the
completion Of the hundred years OF peace
betveen Great Britain and the United
States.
Yesterday the House was asked by
The chairman Of the foreign affairs conf

The Mexican Situation.
.x,can mediation has not progressed

Mexican mediation has not progressed
far beyond the stage Of the frst pro-
tocol which eliminated the United
States from direct Intervention in
Mexican affairs and left the adjustment
of the situation practically in the
hands Of the now contending parties on
the field of battle in that country. The
protocol was, in fact, an expression OF
hone rather than a guarantee that any
thing could be accomplished in the
way Of a pacific settlement. Since its
signing the situation in Mexico has de-
yelopsd unfavorabiy. with increasing
signs of trouble between Carranza and
villa. and now with the formal warn
ing by the British ambassador at
Mexico City to all his countrymen to
leave Mexico promptly.
Complaining, but not necessarily of
direct Importance as bearing upon tho
prospect of peace. are the. suggestions
that the Mexican revolution has been
fomented, or at any rate fostered. by
American big business interests. It
Is not of immediate moment whether
this or that American interest has been
concerned in the successful prosecu-
ton Of the insurrection. 50 long as the
primary object is to secure the estab-
lishment at Mexico City of some form
Of government that will give Suaran-

lions that q direct representative Of

in specifically aiding and advising the
constitutionalists.

poses. It is undesirable at this juno

to 52-almost four to one.
Strangely enough, at about the same
hour Sir Edward Grey was addressing
the house Of commons and disclaiming
that the British government had ever put
any pressure on President Wilson In the
canal matter. He declared that 50 far
as he knew the President had asked
the repeal Of the law exempting Amer
lean coastwise ships from canal tolls on
the strength Of papers already pub
lished to all the world

Great Britain originally raised the point.
and stands to benefit largely from the
repeal forced through Congress by the
President, the impression is strong in
this country that the British government
was in some way the power behind the
President and forced his hand. And such
Will be the contention Of those who are
planning TO appeal from Congress to the
people ard ask an expression on the
business at the polls. both this year and
two years hence.
The matter is unfortunate and regret
table. A hundred years of peace between
the two great branches of the English
speaking people should occasion wide
spread congratulation. Great Britain and
the United States and the world at large
have profitcd. Another century of peace
is in every way desirable.
But full American control Of the Pam
anna canal IS absolutely essential to the
exercise Of the full American influence
in the affairs Of the world. And that
fact, sooner or later is going to be as
serted by the American electorate, and
no President or Congress will disregard
that expression. The big ditch is ours
and we made it. and our hands fortified
the dry land contiguous thereto.

President Wilson may be right as to
the fact Of u coming great improvement
in business. yet this would not prove
that his reasoning about II is correct
II 1t comes. as there are many indica-
tons that 1t will, It will be due to other
causes than the passage of his trust
bills. Rich crops and the easing OF
financial strain abroad will have much
more to do with II than anything
which our lawmakers may do, or fail
to do. And in one point Mr.. Wilson
runs pretty near to faulty. This Is
where he assures business men that the
bills in question. when once enacted.
will write fms to the whole book Of
trust legislation. There will be no other
measures debated. no more agitation.
But can he give any such guarantee?
For his own administration. doubtless.
But can he be certain that no other poll
tician will arise t., tell the people that
this or the other hook must be put in
the nose Of big business before the
country can be quite safe and happy
Mr.. Wilson can speak for himself, but
can he speak for La Toilette? Can he

A Makeshift Appropriation.

Hardness on the part of the House
and Senate in. the matter of making an
nual appropriations has put the District
along with the greater part of the ma
uonal government upon provisional
basis through the adoption OF what is
called a continuing appropriation In
other words Congress has failed to COM
ply with it's own schedule in the pro-
vision of funds for the maintenance Of
the public offices. and the District is
incidentally involved. Fortunately this
process of making shift in the face of
an emergency does not interfere seriously
with any existing works. although In so
far as changes are contemplated in the
pending appropriation bill the emergency
appropriation method is unsatisfactory.
The stating of a mathematical pro rata
of appropriations to cover the first fifteen
days of July may embarrass some of the
local activities such for example as the
bathing beach and the workhouse. Still,
this. perhaps. is the best that can be
done in the circumstances.
In the case Of the District bill the de-
lays have been somewhat harassing on
the score of uncertainty as regards the
action of Congress on the vital ques-
ton of the organic act. the fundamental
principle of which has been attacked
in two provisions adopted by the House
and stoutiy resisted by the Senate. There
has been ample time for an adjustment
of these differences, especially as all
considerations Of logic and equity point
to the solving of the problem by the
elimination of both the Objectionable
items.
The utilization OF Appropriation bills
for carrying legislative propositions has
its serious disadvantages as we'll as It's
advantages. A year ago the District
bill became the vehicle OF two highly I'M
portant amendments, the public utilities
commission law and the enactment ma
terially changing the excise system. No
other way to obtain these new laws was
possible in the conditions then prevail
ing in Congress. Now the attempt is
made to utilize the money bill to carry
into effect two radical changes affecting
the fundamental relations between the
District and the government Neither
of these propositions has been sufficient
~ debated OF considered and each OF
them violates the half-and-half principle
of the formal agreement between the
United States and the District in tine act
which the Supreme Court OF the United
States has declared to be the Districts
constitution.
1t is an interesting fact in this con-
nection that objection was entered yes
terday to the consideration Of the emer-
gency resolution extending the current
District appropriations for fifteen days
OF the new fiscal year. Just how it is
expected by the director to run the Dis
tr,et government after midnight tonight
is an uRsolved mystery.

ture to obscure the main issue, that OF
the institution of stable government
In Mexico. In the absence Of any as
surance Of pacific adjustment between
Huerta and Carranza, the renewed evil
dences Of bitter hostility between Car
rama and villa are extremely disquiet-
ing. AS long as the civil and military
chieftains Of the Instruction fail to
agree, Huerta remains secure in Mexico
City. At the same time cooperation be-
tween the leaders Of the insurrection.
gained only through threats Of internicine
conflict, affords but slight ground for
faith in the future stability OF Mexican
affairs in case Huerta falls before such
s1enderly united opposition.
Viewed from any angle. the Mexican
situation remains ominous. notwfth-
standing the sacrifices the United
States has made toward bringing about
a pacific solution and the establishment
of sound government at Mexico City.

Threats and Spells.

Representative Smith of Buffalo de-
elarcs that II anything is done to impose
a local residence qualification upon the
District recorder Of deeds. for which Of
Ace he has candidate from his state. he
eill retaliate by fighting the haf-and-
half principle which is now the founrla-
ton of the Districts relations with the
6eneral government. This is commended
to the attention of those senators who
are now. in recognition of the obvious
Justice of the demand for the appoint
ment of local men for strictly local
ohices. urging the adoption of some
measure Of restriction 10 prevent their
bestowsl upon outsiders as political re-
ward. 1t is not feared that Representa-
tive Smiths opposition to the half-aad
half principle would in the event Of the
adoption of a residential qualification be
serious. His animus in the matter would
be only too plain to effect results. In
deed, his present suggestion Is a strong
reason why the movement to secure an
enactment of law whereby these positions
are henceforth to be filled by Washing
tonians should succeed promptly.
There is no possible connection between
the demand that these peculiarly local
Offices should be filed by local men and
the halfand-half principle OF the organic
act. against which Representative Smith
now utters threats That provision of
law. adopted as a means of maintaining
the National Capital municipality upon a
proper scale. was never designed as the
basis OF a division Of patronage nor has
1t ever been regarded as warrant for
such a division. In all cases where the
Offices were maintained even by means
Of equal contributions by the District and
the United States the home rule principle
has been observed.
In the matter of the recorder of deeds
and the register Of wills the suggestion
Of their utilization as federal political
patronage has always been particularly
obnoxious to the District people, for these
offices are supported exclusively by d.
rect taxes upon Washingtonians. There
is no federal participation In their up
keep. for they are maintained by the
fees paid By the hlsrs OF deeds ana
corporation papers and wills. Indeed in
NO other cases does the home rule prin-
elple apply so directly and plainly as
n these and yet they have been selected
for years past with practically no ex-
ceptions as presidential spells against the
protests of the District people. The
Righteousness of those protests is now
Recognized by senators and an effort is
being made to effect a cure of the long
continued evil. Threats to strike the
District a vital blow through opposition
to the organic act should not deter its
friends from continuing their endeavor to
ensure the filling OF these local offices
with local men.
