The Crosser Bill.

The Crosser municipal ownership bill,
which has been the subject of inquiry
before the House District committee for
some days, receives the approval of that
committee by the close vote Of 8 to and
will therefore be fayorabiy reported,
probably for consideration on the next
District day in the House.
In the course of the hearings nothing
has been developed to indicate any sub
stantial local demand for this enactment.
Broad generalities have been offered to
the effect that there Is a dominant public
sentiment here in favor Of such q bill,
but without any specific indication that
the people of the District actually want
to try the doubtful experiment Of the
acquisition and operation Of the public
utilities by the municipality. On the
other hand. strong arguments have been
presented against this departure which.
though largely from interested and there
fore possibly prejudiced sources, consti-
tute a firm. ground Of opposition to JUS
tify the minority report which will be
submitted. a.
Coming before the House as it will with

ton. 1t is virtually a new topic and

The Cup Defenders.

The preliminary races between possible
Americas cup defenders indicate that
Sir Thomas Lipton's new Shamrock will
be met by worthy representative OF
Yankee craftsmanship. The trials thus
far between the Resolute and Vanitie
show that in no respect has there been
a falling off from the old standard of
excellence, the maintenance of which has
enabled the cup defenders to prevent Its
shipment across the ocean from the be-
ginning Of the competitions.
OF course, there is nothing certain in a
yacht race save the very uncertainty of
the outcome. Everything depends on
weather conditions. but ultimately the
best boat wins without question Upton
may have produced a sailing marvel this
time that will sweep the course, and on
the other hand his new Shamrock may
again fall short of the necessary speed
and hexibility Of sailing capacity and
yield him only another disappointment.
The<e is no such thing as absolute speed
in yachting. and so no line can be got
from the preliminary trials upon the rela-
tive qualities Of the challenger and the
defenders. Not until the boats are actual
ly brought together for the cup races in
September can a comparison be had.
"A successful racing yacht is the COM
bined product Of the designer. the builder
and the sailing master. Upton is sparing
no expense to bring about the combination
necessary to enable him to lift the cup
and thus win the triumph which may be
rated as the highest goal of modern
craftsmanship. But the American de-
Tenders are just as determined as he. and,
Judging from the test races now being
sailed on this side. they have expended
their time and money to good effect and
will make a creditable showing in the
autumn. A contest Of high quality is as
sured and international interest in yacht
racing Is certain to follow the match,
whatever the result. e

desire that Spain get a move on" On
his visits to other countries he meets
picked men. and learns from them things
applicable to Spanish affairs. His coun-
try under his rule has made gratifying
strides.
That he would find much In the United
States to interest him is certain So
alert and buoyant a ruler would profit by
a close range observation Of an alert and
buoyant people.
On the lighter side he would have the
time of his life. In the hunting field
he would find the quarry to suit. In
the field of games he would find the sport
to his taste. And everywhere and In
everything there would be lively appeal
to an all-around and responsive nature.
1t is unnecessary to say that not
trace of the feeling that existed at the
time of the war over Cuba would ap-
pear That was not the kings war.
1t was before his day. Indeed. there
seems warrant for believing that if the
policies of Spain had been as liberal
and wise for half a century preceding
his reign as they have been since his
reign began. Cuba would not have re-
volted. The narrowing record in the
island that led to the revolt would not
have been made
King Alfonso should talk the matter
over with his advisers and make US a

show is going to be big thing, not
withstanding the ill nature shown by
Great Britain and Germany toward
the enterprise. And the subject of the
celebration should appeal to the ruler
of a country whose part in early de-
velopments in this hemisphere was so
illustrious.
Between the United States and Spain
there is now good feeling; and it should
be fostered by both countries. Each

lasted but ninety days. and there need
not be another. At any rate, nothing

Champ Clark and 1912.

1t is a favorite assertion of his OPP

not have been elected. 1t is even assert

to plague him as a national standard
bearer.
But as presidential nominee he would
have taken the stump in his own behalf;
and he has now to his credit two exhi-
billions of how excellently he acquits him
self with a topic to his taste and devel-
oping his best form.
His speech on the canal tolls question
commanded the admiration of even his
opponents. 1t was delivered to a most
distinguished audience, which listened at
tentively to the very end of the argu-
ment. No other speech in the House
debate surpassed it in point of finish, or
force. In point of courage 1t showed the

At Arlington Mr.. Clark scored again.
His ready response to the request of the
old soldiers showed a keen appreciation

delivered-prepared almost upon the in

and patriotic in the most impressive way,

Is 1t not difficult to imagine such
man other than effective as the star

as a presidential candidate? Had Mr..
Clark been nominated at Baltimore 1t
IL a matter of speculation whether he
would have led more OF fewer democrats
through the divided lines of the opposi-
tion than Mr.. Wilson did. That he would
have been elected In the circumstances
seems certain.
As a democrat Mr.. Clark is of what is
called the regulation pattern He

And Mr. Bryan confessed his apprecia-
hon and obligation by heading the Ne
braska delegation to Baltimore instructed
for Mr.. Clark.
An orator in great request sometimes
says too much, and Mr.. Clark has prob
ably offended as often as orators of his
grade But that his tongue would have
cost him the presidency in 1912 is a poor
assumption.
