Great Britain and Mexico.

The killing Of William S. Benton, a
British subject, by orders of the Mexican
revolutionary general Villa, may precipi-
tate a crisis in the situation south of
the Rio Grande. 1t is altogether likely
that England will act to express its in
dignation. and in the immediate circum-
stances it may turn to the United States
for s--ne guarantee of safety for Britons
in Mexico, a guarantee which this coun-
try is in no present position to give. The
London government has maintained a
most considerate attitude toward the
Mexican affair in the main, although Sir
Lionel Gardens indiscretions at one time
came near to causing friction. Now the
matter assumes a distinctly ominous as
pect. The killing Of Benton was appar-
emily unwarranted and there is ample
ground for protest. Yet to whom can
England protest? Villa Is the military
ehieftain of an unrecognized insurgent
government.

Public Buildings.

Chairman Clark Of the House com
mittee on public buildings and grounds
announces himself as favoring liberal
expenditures for constructions for the
housing of the government Offices. He
recognizes the bad business policy of
renting makeshift quarters for depart
ments and bureaus and also the un-
wisdom OF maintaining the depart
mental service In any measure in pri-
vate buildings. The government now
pays s5Sl.00o year in rent for such
quarters in the District and for this
sum gets a poorer return in accommo-
dations than would be secured through
the investment In sites and construc-
tions Of a sum on which this rent
money represents the interest In 9TH
er words. il the government capitalized
this annual outlay and spent the
amount in public buildings it would
get better quarters than it now secures.
Washington's selfish interests are bet
ter served by a continuance of the
present system OF rents. But the Dis
trict is concerned beyond the mere mat
ter of rents and the withdrawal of
private property from taxation through
acquisition by the government. 1t
wants to see the public service equip
ment brought up to the proper mark
and takes pride In every addition to
the federal plant here. 1t hopes now
20 see Chairman Clark's policy of sys-
tcmatic public building construction
promptly adopted by Congress and
carried out in works which will give
the government the housing which i,
has long lacked and for want Of which
its work has been hampered.

Unappreciative.

A man there is who talks about his work
with gloomy sighs.
He stops from time to time to wipe the
moisture from his eyes.
You get a notion that the major portion
of his biz
Is giving sad descriptions Of how very
hard 1t is.
You wonder if by chance there is a time
he can recall
When he knew the feelings Of man who
has no job at all.
When you're hustling for the chance to
make gay and willing bluff
You haven't time to lecture on your path
way long and rough;
But when you're safely on the list for
systematic pay
You find the leisure to put forth melan-
choly lay.
oh, weary, wailful toiler, though your Joy
to you seems small.
Be comforted and think Of those who
have no jobs at all!

belongs in that body by reason OF hia
euuipment for public business and the
fact that the country has entered upon
new lines Of thought and action requir.
ing experience as well as ability in na-
ional legislation.
Let us suppose death sparing the late
Mr.. Bacon. and his candidacy for re-
election an existing issue in Georgia
Could the people Of that state, or Of the
country at large, have afforded his re-
tirement? Would not public interests
have called for his return to a body
where his standing was SO high and his
authority SO considerable? What other
Georgian. worthy as many are. could
have done so well in the ofice?
Mr.. Root on the republican side stands
as high and possesses as much authority
as Mr.. Bacon did on the democratic
side. He has not served as long in the
Senate-the record being five years
against nineteen-but when his services
in the War Department and the State
Department are added to his services in
the Senate, he ranks almost with Mr..
Bacon as a veteran national Official.
The country needs men Of the Root
stamp and the Bacon stamp in its busi-
ness at this time. Whether q democrat
here or republican there is to be chosen.
he should be the best possible expression
and representative Of his constituents.
We are on a new tariff tack, a new
currency tack. and shall soon be measure
bly, on a new trust tack. Then the Pan
anna canal is going into action. and the
Philippine question is expected to take
some sort of new twist All these uues-
tions carry far. and interesting develop
ments from them are likely.
II the democrats remain in CONTROL, men
of the Bacon stamp will be very valua-
bic In helping to shape the new work
along the new lines. If the republicans
return to power, men Of Mr.. Roots abil-
ity and opinions will be very valuable in
running lines that will lead away from
the democratic lines in the direction Of
policies known as republican, and which
still command the support of republicans,
and of many bull moosers into the bar

The Government and Good Roads,

Representative Shackelford of Missouri
has addressed the Kentucky legislature
by invitation on the subject OF federal
assistance to the good roads movement.
He explained the bill the House passed
under his leadership appropriating s25,-
100000 toward building good roads
throughout the country. declared It con-

by the Senate

New York Bull Moosers.

The bull moosers in New York are
-ett;n1 husv. A committee has been
appointed to prepare a platform LOT
state purposes. and among the MEM
bers is Oscar S. Straus, who ran ior
governor in 1912. Maybe he Will run
again this year. He Is good man. ana

the ruIe-sometimes they are a rule
candidates and adopt their platform IN
September.
And. in connection with the suggestion
of Mr.. straus for governor. it is
worthy of note that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
mentioned for senator.
But that suggestion is far from
happy. In the Senate Mr.. Roosevelt
would be lost to his party, to himself
and to the gayety of the nation. The
environment would not suit him at all.
The rules, which permit the other fell
low to have say. would be par
ticularly Objectionable. And to hear
the Constitution-an archaic document
in his opinion-so often referred to in
terms Of Difference and respect would
get on his nerves and make his duties
most disagreesble.
Mr.. Roosevelt has exhibited versatil-
ity. He has been legislator, student,
writer, orator. cowboy. hunter and
executive. and shown quality all along
the line. But even he has his limita-
tions. He would not be happy in the
Senate. nor would the Senate be happy
with him '1n it's midst" He lacks the
repose tho patience. the federation. the
ability to see the other fellows side
of a question. SO essential to good
service In that body. He might be
tanned. But who wants Mr.. Roosevelt
tanned? What good could result from
changing the nature OF so interesting
a man. and the only one Of the kind
in the country?

swers its destiny the figures necessarily
grow.
But in describing an appropriation OF
S25. 600 as comparatively small" and
promising that If the object sought is
accomplished the amount will be In
creased many times" Mr.. Shackelford
forces even a public familiar with big
figures to pause and consider. What Is
his idea of a large appropriation, and
how soon may Congress be asked to vote
a hundred millions annually for good
roads?
He does not, 1t will be observed. expect
the whole appropriation. whatever the
amount, to be added to the billion and
more now voted annually by Congress Tor
all purposes. He assumes that less Will
be spent on erecting public buildings. and
on improving rivers and harbors- Too
much has been going to those projects.
Something now-and no small amounts
to go to a project in which everybody is
interested, and from which all will derive
benefit.

choice by a senator or representative as
to what he will take in his? Shall ne

Whatever other qualities Prince William

Stamboul is a policy whose. latest mani
festation was directed against Cherif
Pasha, who had sought refuge An Paris.
Prince William is confronted by two
redoubtable rivals for the throne to which
Europe has elected hirfa-Essad Pasha
and Izzet Pasha. Both of these candi-
dates are perhaps the creations OF the
party Of union and progress. Essad has
shown himself an expert politician and
has received aid and encouragement at
Vienna and Constantinople. Essad has
created a party in Albania and he is
actually master of many tribes. Ezet

and consequently I cannot 3 remain in

These conditions bode no good to the
Christian prince whom Europe perhaps
has unwise1y chosen 6ver this ill-starred
nation whose creation was a gross and
incomprehensible error. That Turkey
should be allowed by Europe to invent
such puppets as Essad and Izzet can
only be explained by those familiar with
what goes on behind the scenes at Vienna
and at Constantinople. We wish the
Prince of Wied well. but We would warn
him frankly that the crown of Albania
is full Of thorns.
At the last moment, when the Prince
of Wied is en- route to assume his throne.
both Austria and Italy appear to be
stricken with regrets and fear that their
joint enterprise which seemed to others
foolhardy has assumed that appearance
to the creators and that both at. Rome
