Why Remove the Hat in a Public

Editor Of The Washington Herald: Too

a gentleman remove his hat when there

Trust and Railroad Legislation.

Fortunately for the country no further agitation
of antitrust legislation is likely. The Clayton bill
is now a law and the administration ought to be
content to give the business interests a rest until
the new statute has been thoroughly tested. For
this reason Senator Reeds amendment which pro-
poses certain provisions making the law more
stringent is not likely to be passed. The Federal
Trade Commission is also experiment awaiting
demonstration. Everybody practically agrees that
further disturbance of business would be unwise
Railroad legislation is still, however, in an un-
settled condition. The problem of mail carrying
compensation is unsolved, although a most ex-
hsustive report on the subject is before Congress
Incidentally, as showing one of the anomalies of
our political system it is interesting to recall the
fact that the subject of railway mail pay was one

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-FOr up
ward of five hours Thursday the House
Naval Committee piled Secretary Dan
iels, of the Navy Department. with
questions intended to obtain reasons
for his adherence to twO-battleship
program and to develop the navy's
weakness if, as has been alleged, it is
weak in some of its component parts.
Admitting that he would favor four
battle ships if the revenues OF the
Government would permit, the Secre-
tary insisted that the continuance OF
the usual yearly program was keeping
the United States in a strong posi-
ton" among the naval powers.
The Administration navy program,
to which the committee is asked to
give its approval, includes two dread
noughts, six destroyers, eight subma-
rines, one of the sea-gOing type, one
gunboat and one collier.

GERMANS ADVANCE IN RUSSIA.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE reported
r0ut of the Austrian forces in Seryia,
the borders of which country they
crossed triumphantly just two weeks
ago, together with the steady advance
of the German center in the direction
OF Warsaw on this, the third German
invasion of Russian Poland, dominate
the war news to-day.
After occupying Lodz, the Germans
have been pushing to the northeast to-
ward Warsaw along the railroad, and
one dispatch from Petrograd estimates
that they are only fifteen miles from
the Polish capital, while another mes
sage from Petrograd, sepculating on
the possible fall of Warsaw, warns
the Russian people that the abandon
ment of this city, if such move be-
comes necessary, should be regarded
as strategic operation on the part OF
the Russians rather than decided
German victory.
1t will be recalled that a similar
veiw expressed when the Russians
retired from LODI.

1t is not likely that by this the speaker meant to
imply that should he reach heaven by any method
other than that which he preferred ne would be in
clined to protest Mr.. Carnegie is far too keen a
man of business for any senmentaiity of that sort
What he actually meant was that, doubt as he must
he still maintained strong hold upon hope.
And in that touch of human nature stands re-
vealed the fact that when it comes to the future

Panama Canal Revenues.

Nearly $4,000 were collected in tolls from vessels
using the Panama Canal between the first of August
dend upon the country's investment but it is en-
couragng when consider that it has been taken in
during the trying-out stage of the waterway which
has not yet had its formal opening The interesting
feature of these receipts is that for the most part
they represent payments by coastwise shipping With
out them the tolls collected would have been prac-
ticaIly negligible AS it has been during these three
months, SO will it largely be in the years to come
Coastwise vessels have paid the demands upon them
and it has been no hardship for them to do So In
fact they find conditions more favorable than they
have ever been before Already, from an economic
point of vew the repeal of the tolls exemption clause
has been abundantly justified, while honor as
nation has been re-establshed at time when IT is
of the utmost importance that no suspicion should

A Reasonable Doubt.

AT the ninth annual meeting of the trustees of the
Carnegie Foundation, at New York last week, the
chief promoter of the enterprise made statement
which will go further toward enlisting the SYM
pathy and even compelling the admiration of his fel-
low sojourners in this vale of uncertainty than any
thing he has previously said done The little
Laird of Skibo stood manfully before twenty-three
members of his board of trustees-the twentyfourth
Frank A. Vanderlip president of the National City
Bank, was absent account of ilIness-and admit
ted that he did not feel at all certain that he
was billeted for heaven-"elected" may be the more
proper term in view of Mr. Carnegie's Calvinistic
antecedents.
1t was brave admission for Mr.. Carnegie, quite
heroic enough to win for him one of the medals
which he awards now and then to those who de-
serve them. 1t was the unfolding of new and hth-
erto unsuspeected touch of humanity in a character
which has seldom included the possibility of defeat
IN any of its undertakings. 1t was frank and open
acknowledgment of the ultimate futility of human
effort 1t must have supplied those twenty-three
trustees who heard it with food for reflection for
some time to come.
"If ever get to heayen-and have my doubts
about it" said Mr.. Carnegie with an expression of

President Wilson is undoubtedly justified in as
suning that there is little likelihood of Congress at
The approaching session enactng legislation providing
system of retirement for superannuated civil serv-
ice employees Even if there were not other matters
which will be deer"d of greater Importance, the
stern necessity for rigid economy as result of ex-
traordinariy large expenditures already made would
preclude any outlay for the relief of the clerks And
yet the practically unanimous opinion of high gov
ernment officials is that such legislation should have
been enacted long ago. There is ray of hope how
ever, in the Presidents intimation that he will pre-
sent the subject to Congress later in his admnisra
ton. Certainly he weuld earn the lasting gratitude
of the clerks and the commendation of the whole
people if he would that this act of simple Justice
was performed before the end of his term.
