Warships Against Troops.

An interesting note appears in the
dispatches regarding the military OPP
erations along the coast of Belgium
and France, that British warships CO.
operated with the land forces in the
attack upon the German advance from
Ostend westward. The shore of the
North sea at that point is straight and
fairly fiat. and vessels can approach to
within less than mile in many places
in perfect safety in calm weather
Against a column of troops marching
along the shore a fleet could be of ma
terial aggressive value. the naval gun:

Naturally the commander of a column
thus exposed to an unanswerable fire
from the sea would sees to withdraw
inland, but there is suggestion In
some of the reports that in a measure
this was prevented in the present case
by pressure upon the German columns
from the land side.
The most important note in the days
news appears to be that the allies have
retaken Ostend. This. however. still
lacks official confirmation. If it is true
t means that the Germans have not, in
act, succeeded in establishing Their
tank securely on the seacoast and that

Terpsichorean Tragedy.

The statesman to his bone returned
To hear the praises he had earned.
He felt that he had labored well.
Would they be grateful? Time would
tell
He had his explanations pat,
But useless was his line of chat.
To utter it he had no chance;
They said, DO you know how to
dance?"
They gave him a reception grand.
With joyous music by the band.
But of his legislative acts
They did not know the simplest facts.
They cried, Were glad to see you
back!
OF welcome there shall be no lack;
Your prospects you may now enhance
That is, if you know how to dance"
MY grace" quoth he. with grief In

They frowned and said, What have
you done
While living there in Washington?
If you get on in politics
You've got to learn to move and mix!'
He'd lost. He saw it at glance,
And all because he couldn't dance.

The President and the Politicians.

The President Is 'toting fair with the
politicians of his party, and particu-
1arly those in Congress. The record
shows it.
At the outset nearly everything was
put up to him. He arbitrated differ
ences about patronage. and differences
ceased upon his decisions He settled
disputes about legislation, and meas
ures took shape as he advised. Sena-
tors and representatives in some cases
shifted foot at his suggestion.
This established what is now known
as the New Leadership. 1t gave Mr.. Will
son the appearance of being 1.-The whole
thing and imposed upon him a heavier
burden than some experienced poll
ticians thought wise for him to carry.
y. He, however, did not hesitate. He
:. shouldered the pack, heavy as it was.
The Star described him at the time as
a plunger in the game of politics, and
pointed out that in sporting circles
plungers sometimes won.
These politicians are now calling on
Mr.. Wilson for help. Having invested
him with unusual power-surrendered
nearly everything to him-they want
: his assistance. Those in office are ask
while those seeking Office are asking
him to help them land.
His responses are generous, and show
that he subscribes to the doctrine that
turn about Is fair play. He is chalk
ing hats right and left. He is working
with the most practical men in his
party. In New York he has cast his
lot with the organization, which in
:. cludes Tammany, and in Illinois with

democrat in the state

democratic control as possible. He is

Jefferson and Monticello.

Monticello is not only a spot of his
toric interest and a shrine of patriotic
sentiment. but a reminder of the slight
degree to which a republic may take
into account the private pecuniary cir
cumstances of its greatest benefactors.
On this home Thomas Jefferson Law
ished his resources. both CT mind and
pocket, only to find himself compelled
to sacrifice it because of pecuniary re-
verses. The fact that the Virginia leg
islature authorized him to dispose of a
portion of the estate by means of
lottery has often been commented on
with some cynicism. The lottery plan
was averted by the raising of sum
wholly insufficient by the mayors OF
various cities and the estate was sold
to liquidate the obligations of the man
to whom the nation owes the Declare
ton OF independence.
Like the services of other men whose
work was not for a single generation,
but for all time, those Of jefferson were
too great to be measured by the pub
lie mind in terms of monetary compen-
sation.

No Blood Feuds.
ON the New York World.

From the New York World.
If Col. Watterson had called at the
White House year ago he would
probably have been received no less
cordially. There are no blood feuds in
this administration. 1t has not been
the practice Of President Wilson to is
sue edicts of prescription against per-
sons who have ventured to disagree
with him. or to set a price on their
heads. tirmness of purpose on his
part is not evidenced by public intimi-
dalton or vindictive threats against in
dividuals.
The days are past when a reign of
terror was maintained at the White
House. Party leadership has been es-
tablished by other means. The doors
of the White House are open to all de-
cent democrats. They can come and go
without being exposed to the humilia-
ton of sacrificing their independence
or freedom of action on pain of being
denounced throughout the entire land.
No one regards it as a sign of weak
| ness in President Wilson that he is
able to live in peace with those who
differ from him in opinion or in policy.
No doubt some of his political oppo-
nents. for reasons of partisanship, re-
greet that he has not been more quar-
relsome. and that with tact and pa
thence he has been equal to leading his
party over rough places without fac
tional strife.

The Street Improvement Burden

A heavy burden will be laid upon the
people of the District. 1t is believed II
| the Commissioners estimates for street
| improvements prevail in the making OF
appropriations for the next fiscal year.
Under the Borland amendment, winch
| in a slightly modified form became law
| with the current appropriation DILL the
cost of street improvement falls in
degree upon the adjacent property
owner. AS The Star pointed out at the
time that this inequitable proposition
was pending in Congress. this Is a
gross injustice upon the individual citi-
zen and in many cases will prove an
| unbearable assessment.
Apparently the street improvement
schedule has been made up without
particular reference to the wishes of
the property owners with respect to
the matter of paying proportionate
sums under the Borland amendment
The Commissioners, 1t is said. have es-
timated for street improvements with
reference to the general public require
ments This is the proper basis on
| which to propose new street work as
| long as the cost of the improvements
| is borne by the general fund and does
not fall in any degree upon the indi-
vidual owners. A street should be re-
garded as a public utility and not as a
| private easement. 1t should be con-
sidered as part of the whole system OF
highways. and opened and improved
and maintained primarily as such and
not as an advantage to the adjacent
property.
The evil of the Borland amendment
lies in the discrimination between the
street as a public highway and as a
means of private access. If the desires
of the people living upon a street
scheduled for improvement are con-
suited the tendency will be to postpone
| expenditures, and thus the standard Of
street condition throughout the District
falls and the community suffers in con-
| sequence. If, on the other hand. the
streets are improved on this basis re-
gardless of the wishes and paying abil-
tiles of the property owners grave in
justice is done in many individual
, cases through the imposition of un-
| hearable burdens. In these circum-
stances the plain course of justice,
| leading to progress in the maintenance
of the streets on proper plane, is to
repeal the obnoxious amendment and
restore the street improvement system
to the old basis, regarding the thor
oughfares of Washington as a part of
the whole city equipment. to be built,
improved and maintained out of the
general fund to which all District
