made restricting against negroes and less than So00
residences or huSinc,, houses. The class of lots
are offering have sufficient merit and valac to war

restraining against negro residence houses and box

WASHlNGTONS FOREIGN
TRADE INTEREST.

Along with one thousand other ac-
tive commercial and Industrial or
CARNATIONS, the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce has been invited to
send delegates to the Second Ma
tional Foreign Trade Convention to
be held at st. Louis in January. Two
days will be given over to the prac-
teal and constructive discussion of
problems arising in oversee COM
merce.
At first flush Washington might
appear to be only remotely concerned
in foreign trade and the disposition
of the Chamber of Commerce to par
ticipate in this convention seems a
little far fetched. The argosies of
commerce that tie up at the George
town wharves are secondary in i'm
portance to the operation of govern
ment. The throbbing activities of
the Georgetown customs house do
not dominate the municipal life. The

many but would understand and ap-
preciate the failure of their usual re-
membranes to arrive if they knew
that charity was the recipient. Not
many but would understand, with
some of their friends, the suggestion
of needed economy which the omis-
sion would convey.
But if it is a time to pinch for
charity, so, too, is it time to pinch
for the children. whose Christmas
thoughts are perhaps as unintelli-
gent but nevertheless as keen and
anticipatory as were our own when
we were children.
If it is time to pinch, for those
who must pinch. it is not the time
for the one who has no call to do SO.
The institution of Christmas giving
is sacred institution. 1t is some
thing that the world would be vast
ly less well off without. 1t is an in
stitution not lightly to be sighted
on any unjustifed plea of economy
or in the name of the cold doctrine
of utilitarianism. If it is an extrava-
CANT institution, let it be that. 1t is
beautiful; it is wonderful, and it is
to be kept so.

THE CRIME CALENDAR.

The Times prints in another place
TO-DAY a calendar of crime in this
town that is entitled to attention,
and very serious attention.
Today is December -. Beginning
with December 5, and ending with
December 12-eight days, inclusive
the crime calendar shows ten cases
of highway robbery in Washington,
in none of which an arrest has been
made.
Ten highway robberies in eight
days, and no arrest!
In five of these ten cases, the rob-
Der held up his victim at the point of
q gun.
They were not the ordinary, cow
ardly performance of purse-snatch-
ing. They were blatant avowals Of
the criminal populations belief that
there is no reason to fear conse-
quences.
It is hard to believe that this town
is SO very bad.
But it is easy to believe that
something in it is.

COMMISSION GOVERN
MENT.

On January l next BAG cities will
be enrolled in the list that have dis.
carded old forms for government by
commission. That these 346 cities
have a total population of S,312,176
should awaken Americans to a reali-
cation Of the rapid progress.
When Des Moines and Galveston
adopted the idea, their venture was
watched with an interest which con-
tanned an expectation that the ex-
pertinent was doomed to failure. Sue
cess has marked the movement from
the first
Today commission government has
been chosen by many big cities, no.
tably Buffalo, population 423,715;
New Orleans, 339,O75; st. Paul
214,744; Denver, 213,3s1; Jersey
City, 267,779; Oakland, 15O,174;
Memphis, fs1,1O5; Birmingham, Ala.
1855; Portland, Ore, 2o7, PA;
Dayton, Ohio, 1857; Nashville,
1Io,364; Lowell, Mass, 1O6,294;
Omaha, 124,O69; Spokane, 104, 4O2;
Dallas, 92,104; San Antonio, Tex,
1854; Salt Lake City, Utah, 92,777;
Tacoma, s2,972; Houston, 1880;
Fort Worth, Tex, 1902.
Kansas leads with forty commits
sion cities. Pennsylvania is second
with Twenty-Five, Illinois third with
twenty-five, and Texas has twenty
one. Cities in thirty-nine States
have adopted this method of rule.
Undoubtedly commission govern
ment is well fitted to the needs and
conditions of minor cities. Whether
such a group of men could ably gov
ern New York, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia or any other city of the
first rank in population is more open
10 question. Conditions in the great
cities afford different problems. New
Iotk's large executive field, many
legislative problems and general re-
quirements seem to afford better op-
portunity for efficient government
when that government is concen-
trated chiefly in the hands of a
mayor than if group of three or
len or twenty men were chosen TO
handle the metropolis. AS it is, the
mayors co-workers on the board of
estimate afford him a cabinet some
what akin, in spirit, at least, to COM
missioners.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

The Spugs, it seems, have changed

fortuity in regard to spelling rules
Of the English language that the

the Society for the Promotion of
Useful Giving" without withdrawing
he protecting agis of its nickname
from those who seek an excuse not
% give at all.
That there is any such thing as
useless giving. at the time when thS
gift signifies the cheer and kindness
Of man for man. is not beyond dis
pute. Neither is the theory that an
overcoat. because it is more prac-
ticable, is better gift than an en-
craving. But this is not quite the
point. Christmas giving is a beau
tiful, wonderful, institution. There
are those who can maintain its
beauty and its wonder and yet give
thoughtfully; who can make their
friends and families feel perhaps the
happier because their gifts, useless
or useful, have found some better
destination. There are also those
who, perhaps wholly unconsciously,
lake away from its beauty and won
der in the name of crusade they
have no call TO make.
Whichever the propaganda, it
seems not wholly fair, except it be
lived up to conscientiously. Not

State Department is probably the
largest importer and exporter, con-
filming itself to diplomatic and con-
sular dispatches rather than prod
ucts of the soil, mines, and indus
! try of this and other lands.
The invitation TO the Chamber of
Commerce, however, reveals the sig
nlticance of new movement in for
eign trade which the National For
eign Trade Council has inaugurated.
Its purpose is to energize the inter
est, not solely to those actually en-
gagged in international barter, but
particularly of the great majority of
! business men who imagine their well
fare is trimmed in by the boundaries
Of domestic business.
Although the United States stands
third among the nations in volume
and value of foreign trade, this
commerce, like Topsy, "just growed."
! Out of the abundance of natural re-
sources and through the individual
enterprise of a comparatively small
number of great organizations, our
international credit has been
strengthened and exports increased.
No national policy for development
of distant markets has been devei-
oped. The failure of Congress con-
structively to encourage the mer-
chant marine, foreign banking, and
to permit reasonable cooperation for
the extension of trade has been due
to the indifference of business men
who thought exports and imports
were of concern chiefly to the sea-
board.
The war has corrected this po-
litical myopia. When the outbreak
of hostilities caused the merchant
fleets under European flags to hud-
die in the harbors of the world afraid
to venture forth our exports and i'm
ports were abruptly checked. Mer-
chandise congested at all seaports. A
commercial shudder ran back along
every railroad into the interior and
our entire commerce, domestic as
well as foreign, was dislocated and
every business man was affected. All
because we had never prepared for
such an emergency, had never
thought out how to fortify ourselves
against deprivation of the transport
tation and banking facilities on
which our foreign trade had gone
forward. Domestic business already
bad was thus assailed from a new
quarter. Although the war has
brought us no substantial good for
tune it has taught every citizen that
well-sustained and growing foreign
trade is vital element in domestic
prosperity. Herein lies the reason
why any sound movement for devel-
opment of strong foreign trade pol
icy should have the support of all
business men, whether or not they
are personally engaged in it. It is
a part of the nations business,
therefore the concern of every
citizan
