It is not considered good policy on the part of the houses that havo taken good orders in the past from this section. to discontinue the visits of their travelling men until such Il time as conditions improve. Where such step has been taken it is believed in many quarters that there will be cause for regret when it is found upon resumption of activities in this dis trict that the account has been won over by a competitor who went after business during the time of depression. The firms that are willing to pay their salesmen's expenses. together with d modest salary, expect that they will get returns in the way of patronage previously given to their less farsight- ed competitors.

Disapproval of Plaza Awards.

The disapproval by the President of
the Union station plaza awards on the
ground that the award made the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company for
its property was excessive will be a
serious disappointment to and will in
crease the embarrassment of the many
persons whose property and whose homes
were taken by the government. The
nearly 200 citizens whose property was
taken in the execution of this big and
desirable improvement project. and to
whom awards were made which are not
now under criticism. have already wait
ed more than a year for the money
which is justly due them. and payment
Of which is now indefinitely postponed.
The money for the payment of the
award was made available by Congress
last summer and in this action the plaza
property owners thought they saw re-
lief. The awards were officially ap-
proved all along the line until reaching
the President. The desire of the Presi-
dent to separate the awards to citizens
from that made in favor of the railroad
company seems not to have been found
feasible IN the opinion of the Attorney
General. The ENHANCEMENT and delay
are regrettable and adversely affect
many persons. The government is noto-
riously tardy IN the payment of its bills

then, to the Presidents wishes? VIII 1t
copy the example of Congress and sur
render its opinion?
How much of contest will be made re-
mains to be seen. \ split in the party is
quite unlikely. Mr.. Taggart announcing in
advance that he will accept whatever the
convention does. If Mr.. Kern. with the
aid of the President and Mr.. Bryan. can
dominate the convention. well and good.
That sounds like harmony. whatever may
happen in a campaign fought on such a
party delive-ance.
But Mr.. Taggart's most notable express
sion is in favor of open sessions for the
platform committee. He wants the plat
form built in public-every plank exam
ined. and all acceptances or reflections
made, in the presence Of witnesses.
Mr.. Taggart is an old campaigner, and
has had experience in the parochial field,
the state field. and the national field. Just
now he must be in vivid mind of Balti-
more and the platform built there. That
work was done in private and it has
been subject ever since to all sorts of
criticism. ranging from accusations of
FOLLY 10 those or fraud. How d!d this,
how did that. plank slip in? Who really
stood for this. was for that. policy?
AT Baltimore Mr.. Taggart was less con-
cerned about the making of the platform
than about the nomination. He was in
charge of presidential boom, and when
that failed he launched a vice presidential
boom. and that hoated. He got his man.
and Mr.. Marshall proved decided help
to the ticket. Next to Mr.. Bryan. who
nominated Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Taggart, who
was very influential in the nomination of
Mr.. Marshall. was the most important
figure at the convention.
r. At Indianapolis tomorrow the matter
will be reversed. Mr.. Taggart.s interest
will be in the platform. He is not oppos-
ing Mr. Shively for Endorsement as sena-
tor. He is a Shively man, and has re-
jected overtures to contest the honor with
the senator. But he wants a platform
which will represent his and not the
Presidents views of what is good for the
Hoosier democracy. and we should see
either what his power is at home meas
ured against the Presidents. or how will
ing he is to forego contest in convention
in the interests of harmony

The Aqueduct Bridge.

The Aqueduct bridge has come in for
large measure of publicity this spring or
winter in consequence Of the ice pack
around it's venerable piers. The weakness
of the bridge has been many times Of
ficially exposed. 1t has been a matter of
fear to many nervous persons and mat
ter of serious contemplation to persons
who are not nervous. If. as the army
engineers say, and of course what they
say is fact, mortar has been washed out
from between the stones of the piers and
the superstructure is overloaded by the
traffic which passes over the bridge and
which traffic is steadily increasing. Rep
resentative Carlin, who is the representa-
tive in Congress of thousands of people
who use that bridge, is warranted in
pressing for favorable report by the
House committee on interstate and for
eign commerce on his bill which would
provide for a new and stronger bridge
in place of the present structure. 1t
ought not to be considered good policy to
wait until the Aqueduct bridge is ready to
fall down or until it falls down before
beginning the building of another bridge
The Aqueduct bridge has outlved it's use

Fresh Eggs.

There is some consolation in the news
that the price of eggs has dropped in
the local market. 1t is pleasing to the
friends OF the hen that she has at length
needed the public clamor against her OBJ
stinacy and dereliction of duty and has
declared her strike off. For long time
she has scratched around squatted in
sunny corners if she could find them,
ruff1ed her feathers, eaten heartily, and
gone through other henlike actions, but
she has not cackled. She has not sought
to encourage and develop the most use
full function of her nature Now that
sprigs of green grass are showing and
warm sunshine coming from the skies,
she consents to sing. The tune she sings
may not be as elaborate as that Of the
mockingbird or as musical as that of the
wood thrush. but there Is note Of bust
ness in 1t. She may not be a vocal vir-
tuoso. but she sings a grateful song. It Is
one OF the pleasant signs of spring.

Japan and the Monroe Doctrine

At public meeting in New York the
other night this question was discussed:
Shall the people of the United States
sustain President Wilson in his efforts
to maintain peace?"
Among the speakers was Hudson Max
i'm. the gun and powder expert. and this
paragraph is taken from a report of the
proceedings:
Mr.. Maxim said he couldn't be sure,
Of course. but trouble in Mexico might
have been averted If we had put on a
bold front at the start Now he didn't
see why we couldn't. without any severe
injury to the Monroe doctrine, ask other
countries to help solve the situation.
Japan had Monroe doctrine of its own.
to which we didn't pay much attention
when We took the Philippines"
This is in the nature of news. What
doctrine has Japan which is analogous
to our Monroe doctrine, and how did we
violate it when we took over the Philip
pines?
AS q matter Of fact, Japan was one of
