favors the exclusion of all of these
subjects from newspaper discussion;
it is not unusual for us TO find some
of our friends hotly protesting
against the publication of one kind
Of news and almost in the same
breath strenuously insisting on more
emphasis on another kind, to which
still other friends hold objections
equally emphatic.
Perhaps even the newspapers, in
whose infallibility we would like to
believe, are tarred with the same
stick; certainly it is their practice to
stress those matters in which they
have a special interest and slur those
in which their interest is not so keen.
1t may be that we, with the rest of
the world
Compound for sins we are inclined to
BY damning those we have no mind to.
"There is as much human nature
in one man as there is an another
if not more so" says David Harum.
All of us pine for the sort of pub
licity we want and all of US believe
that the sort we do not want is bad
for the rest of the race.

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood, majority leader
of the House. officially committed today to the plan to
name commission to investigate the fiscal relations be-
tween the District and Federal governments and to deter
mine whether the existing hafandhalf arrangement is
just.

the haandhaf controversy was raging in the House be-
cause of the Crisp repeal b-Mr Underwood authorized

REFRESHED WILSON
President Had a Good Time at
the Reunion of His Glass;
mates of '79.

Feeling as II he had just finished a
real two weeks vacation, President WILL
son reached Washington from Prince
ton. at 7:l0 this morning. Mexican af-
fairs and other momentous questions
had been shunted aside completely ex-
cept for two messages yesterday. and
their contents were reassuring.
The President was confronted with an
unusual situation this morning when he
arose and found that no water for bath
tiel car.
He offered no complaint and took the
oversight good naturcdly.
Returning in the party with the Presi-
dent were Secretary OF the Treasury and
Mrs. McAdoo, and DR.. Grayson.
No one apparently enjoyed the strenC-
Gus day at Princeton moro than the
rating in a huge alumni parade from
the campus to the ball field. Walk OF

THE OTHER SIDE OFT.

There is no occasion for prodigious
worriment over the "civil war" in
lilly. Aninadversions on the dan
gers Of the Latin temperament and
its failure to impose needed restric-
tions in communities under popular
ir stitutions, will be quite unneces-
say.
Italy has long way to go before

war as is Great Britain. Frances
ministerial troubles are not half so
serious as were those which moved
Britain to reform the lords out of
their veto power. The French budget

|England faced when Lloyd George
forced his reform fiscal plan into

each two weeks thereafter during
the summer different companies OF
children VIII be given the best OF
care at the huge recreation camp.
The summer outings committee Of
the Associated Charities is making
numerous improvements at the sum-
mer camps. The baby hospital
camp is being enlarged, and another
story Is being added to the west
used as a sleeping porch Sleeping
quarters are being provided for a
night nurse. and the kitchen Is being
remodeled to meet the Increased
demands. The play pavilion at Camp
Good Will has been fitted with a
locker seat where mothers can sit
and watch their children at play. In
the lockers the toys of the children
can be kept.
The new plan for Camp Pleasant.
laid out by Colonel Simms, bids fair
to make the camp much cooler and
much shadier than that Of last
year. Tents will be sent out TO
the camps this week. and Will be
erected on the plans previously out
lined
One feature Of the summer camps
this year will be the attention given
to the condition Of the children who
make UP the campers. The volun-
teer corps Of physicians, who will look
after any sickness that might arise
and who will give their attention to
youngsters in imperfect health, will
be in charge OF DR.. Ramsburgh.
Other doctors serving will be Joseph
Heller. r. Thomas West, Joseph B.
Began, Dwight G. Smith, Paul B.

Bigss. The list of doctors serving
as emergency physicians includes H.

Charles H. Bowker. Alfred c. Nor

The summer outings committee. of
which John Joy Edison Is chairman.
is much gratified at the Hherality

THE CANAL OPENING.

We may talk ourselves black in
the face about the waste and wick
edness of the nations building huge
navies by way of giving visual proof
of their prowess, but the naval ex-
penditures are among the most pop
ular that any country indulges. Mil
lions of Americans who never saw
salt water. much less a battleship,
ardently support the navy program
and whoop it up for Hobsonism to
the extent of advocating all the bat
tlesbips for which we can find room
in our two oceans.
That is why great naval spec
tacle such as is planned for the
opening of the Panama canal is GER
tain to make hit with the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt touched the pride of
every American when he sent the
battle feet on its world tour by way
of showing the world that we really
had it. Now President Wilson is GO
ing to lead an international armada
through the big ditch. and it is al
ready assured that most of the i'm
portant countries will be on hand for
the parade. 1t will be the greatest
show Of its kind ever seen; eighty to
a hundred vessels. almost any fighter
among which would deStroy ali tho
navies that the world knew in all
the generations prior to this present
one. The feet, the canal, and the
spirit of international amity which
the demonstration will develop will
ali testify to the progress and the
new esprit that are fast making this
sphere a great neighborhood of the
nations.

WILL CHINA BEAT US
TOIT?

Three experts in practical engi-
reering problems are to go TO China,
{ the invitation of that country, TO
Fady the problem of controlling
foods in the great rivers. One of
hem will go from our Reclamation
ervice, another from the engineer
.0g corps of the Panama canal. and
ne third is Wisconsin University's
expert in hydraulic engineering. The
ioan" Of these experts is a sort of
'7ternational courtesy, having been
Erranged between the two govern
Iaents.
China has had longer experience
than any other country in graphing
with the problems of great rivers.
She has built many of the greatest
! yer works in the world, including
her wonderful system of canals, and
ihe canalizaticn of streams. More
ever, her teeming millions of popu-
lstion in the lower levels of great
valleys impose on her a greater need
than any other country knows, for
controlling the huge problem OF
foods.
Our own needs are. not yet so
pressing as those Of China, but every
Esar makes them more insistent
