Mr.. Wilson's Trust Message.

The New York Evening Post, stout
champion of Mr.. Wilson and his course
in Office, says respecting the coming mes
sage on the trust question:
THE entire business world is just now
at time of hesitation. \ word fifty
spoken by President Wilson now might
easily become as a trumpet giving march
ing orders. 1t is a great opportunity
which confrontS him
Does not this put too great respon-
sibility on the President? Does it not
magnify his power? He has asserted.
and is maintaining. real leadership over
Congress. and there is no reason to doubt
that that body will listen to him on the
trust question, as it did on the tariff
question and the currency.
But it should not be forgotten that Con-
gress did not yield absolutely on either
proposition The Senate held the tariff
bill five months and the currency bill
three, and made important changes in
both. when the President had signified
his Willingness to accept the Houses ac-
ton in both.
Likewise now in the matter of the
trusts. The action of Congress may not
conform to the Presidents wishes and
message. Congress may-indeed, 1t is
likely-to debate the question quite a lit
tie. 1t may proceed as deliberately as in
the cases of the tariff and the currency.
In that event, although we are ON the
eve of getting the Presidents recon-
mendaions, We may not see additional
trust legislation before early spring.
In all probability Congress will be urged
to hurry in the interest of revival of
business. But that argument was used,
and exploded, when the tariff and the
currency We're up. The new tariff law
and the new currency law, contrary to
the promise of their authors, have not
revived business, which is hesitating now
more than when this Administered ton
began.
As to when this hesitation will cease
who may say? The business world has
not hesitated in an effort to play politics.
Manufacturers are not running on one
wheel for spite Capital is not shy of
investments through any hope of forcing
a change in the new currency law, which
has not yet been applied.
No, the truth is, the hesitation is logi-
cal and natural The democratic party
came into power pledged to legislation on
new lines in every sphere of business ac-
tivity. At every business point the tariff
and the currency touch; and the trusts
are SO numerous and so big. congressional
action as to them involves interests out
side of them. So that until the full dem
ocratic program has been carried out, and
has had time TO prove the merit claimed
for it, it is not fair to the administration
to predict full steam ahead.
That the Presidents trust message will
be highly important and contain his best
information and strongest conviction is
Aeasily assumable. But that it will an
swer as trumpet note, at which pros
trate business will take up its bed and
walk, is, unfortunately for him and for
business, out of the question.

Street Perils.

The second motor death in Washington
this year occurred yesterday, when
child of four darted suddenly from the
sidewalk upon the pavement and was
struck by a machine, the driver of which
appears to have done everything he
could to avoid collision. This would
seem to be a case in which the blame Is
to be laid, if anywhere, upon the victim.
The Star has hoped that the numerous
motor killings in this city would warn
parents to keep children from playing
in the street. 1t has encouraged the de-
velopment Of the Street Safety Associa-
ton, which has worked for the more per-
feet education of all classes of people
in the use of the Streets. to the end of
making them more safe. Evidently, the
work Is only begun. 1t must be carried
further. by the utilization of every such
accident as warning and an object les
son. The impulsive movements of chill
dren at play are source of constant
anxiety to careful chauffeurs, who must
be on the alert to avoid collisions with
other vehicles and with pedestrians and
may without any chance to dodge be
suddenly confronted by playing child,
swiftly scurrying from the curb in pur-
suit of a ball, or evading capture in a
game of tag.
There is no safety for children between
the curbs of the streets. The public
Fairgrounds to a small extent provide
facilities for the romping of the little
folks, so necessary for their physical
development. But at this season Of the
year the Fairgrounds are closed, partly
from lack of funds, partly out of mis-
for use in the winter. The child needs
exercise at this season more than at any
other time, being cooped up in the house
for the greater part of the day, at school
or at home owing to the usual parental
fear Of Catching cold" and it is a
facilities in this city for safe open air
exercise, keeping the children off the
streets and giving them health.
1t is perhaps impossible to train a
child Of three or four or five to keep off
the streets, or to instill caution into its
mind. A youngster Of that age is natu-
rally impulsive, needless. dancing rather
than walking, quick as mercury in move
ments, and restraint is almost out of
question. With dangers multiplying in
the streets the question arises whether
it will not be necessary to utilize the
roofs of the long rows Of houses that
distinguish Washington's architecture as
playing spaces, with suitable barriers to
prevent accident.
