The Sun would very much appre- ciate a correspondent in every town and school district in the country. We know there is such a person, if we could reach them, that would cover the news items in their respective neighborhoods for the Sun. We would be pleased to make arrange ments with some one interested in the matter, and it would undoubtedly be of benefit to the community. Drop us a card if you are interested.

Proving It

A blasting powder salesman, ap- preaching a quarry, asked the first man he met where he could find the boss.
 "Oi'm ut" sententiously replied a disreputable looking individual in earthly overalls.
 "Oh, I want the owner of the quar- ry," replied the dapper little sales man, in some disgust. "I've a new blasting powder I want to show him. ,
 Hey, Kelly, Kelly!" he roared. A head appeared above the ground "Hey, Kelly, you're foired"
 The man climbed painfully out of the pit, walked over to his coat and lunch pail, picked them up, and start. ed down the road without word.
 "Hold on, there!" said the sales. man, in some amazement. q guess you are the man I want to see, after all!"
 The other man cupped his hands around his mouth and loudly hailed the retreating figure. "Hey, Kelly" Kelly stopped and turned around ir his tracks.
 You're hoired," yelled the boss Get back on the job!"

General Scott says he can raise an army of 500,OO0 men in the United States in one month. He could un- doubtedly raise 500,000 men in a month, but you could hardly call it an army. Men and trained, equipped men are two seperate and distinct things. The Americans can shoot too, but you cant make a soldier in a month any more than you can make a doctor in that length of time.

A Tardy Local Debit.

The tendency to assess the District
in every possible way is manifested
again in connection with the new
sundry civil bill, which carries an
item charging the District with $780,
600, that being one-half of appropria-
tions made for the extension of the
Columbia Hospital for Women.
Through some oversight or inadver-
tence the original appropriation for
this purpose was made on the basis
of exclusive payment by the United
States. Now it is proposed to re-
imburse the federal Treasury for half
this amount. Against this there can
be no demur. The Columbia Hos
pital is local institution and should
be treated as such in the appropria-
tions. The only complaint that can
be offered is against the lack of CO.
ordination in the allotment of Dis
trict and federal money. This tardily
discovered debit against the District
illustrates afresh the need of budget
system which will collate all the ex-
penditures, proposed and prospective,
to be met out of District funds. 1t
is impossible to make any close cal
culation of local expenditures on the
strength OF a system which permits
the overlooking for months of an
obligation of $4,000.

The Antitrust Handicap.

President Wilson. in his speech be-
fore the United States Chamber of
Commerce last night, plainly indi-
Gated that in his opinion the antitrust
legislation had gone step too Tar
when he advocated its amendment in
a way TO permit cooperation among
American merchants and manufacture
ers in the search for trade in foreign
markets. Drawing distinction between
corporation and combination, the
President RENTS none of his opposi-
ton to the formation of monopolistic
trusts. He merely at this time de-
clares that in his judgment the law
is too rigidly restricting the enter
prise of American producers and
shippers by making it impossible for
them to cooperate effectively.
The modification of the antitrust
statute to this end is not likely for
some time. If there is an extra ses-
sion of Congress, precipitated by the
present blockade in the Senate, the
matter may be considered then,
though unless it is made an admin
istration measure and pressed vigor-
ously as such it is of doubtful success
in the circumstances. The President,
however, might fully justify the call
ing of an extra session on this ground
alone, if the antitrust laws do, in
fact, put a handicap upon American
producers in their search for foreign
markets.

The Senate Situation.

If fashionable phrase is not irrev-
crent in the matter. the situation IN
the Senate may be described as per
fcctly lovely" The democratic leader
is rebuking in round terms what he
calls an unholy alliance between some
o; his brethren and the republicans,
while his chief in the White House
Is himself conducting negotiations
with certain members of the opposi-
ton. In the one case the object Is
to defeat the ship purchase bill. in
the other to pass it. Why suspend
the old rule. that what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander? A Gu
linary truth so long established should
not be lightly disregarded.
Then take another feature OF the de-
bate. Some of the democrats want
eloture applied. They want the rules
changed to that end, or, failing that,
action by the Vice President which
will accomplish the result.
In advocacy OF that course Mr.. Thon-
as OF Colorado yesterday eulogized
the late Thomas B. Reed as par
Humanitarian, and held him up to Mr..
Marshall for copy. Mr.. Reed, how
ever, formulated and applied his par
liamentary reforms for the House-a
very different body from the Senate.
He might not, probably would not,
had he been a member of the Senate,
have favored the same code of pro-
cedure there.
One OF Mr.. Reeds numerous bon
mots was his definition of states
mana politician who is dead. When
living, Mr.. Reed came in for his share
OF objurgation as a political leader,
and never complained. He gave and
took freely. While Speaker of the
House he was stigmatized as "a dirty
despot," "a cara revolutionist," by
the more excitable and extreme of his
opponents.
Death has netamorphosed him. He
is now statesman, and presented
for the admiration of ell men. If the
wireless with the earth is working to-
day, certain stalwart shade in the
Elysian Fields is having the time of
his celestial life. There is merriment
in his neighborhood, and all of his
acquaintance are participating.
This latest fiiibuster is not only af-
fording great entertainment, but ac-
complishing much good 1t has caused
a recasting of the ship purchase bill,
and directed attention to the whole
subject of a merchant marine as af-
fected by the war There is today no
other subject more interesting to the
American people, and none other

vantage. Let the discussion go on,

this way we shall suffer. Until she
is able to export in her old form
again we shall not be able to import
in our old form again. 1t is going to
be long time before we collect from
importations the sums that marked
our revenue receipts before the war
began.
AS everybody knows, the Underwood
tariff was fashioned for peace condi-
tions which nobody at the time
dreamed would be changed to war
conditions. War was in no calcula-
tions, either in this country or abroad.
Congress legislated on peace scale,
and with only peace in mind.
Does not the situation, viewed not
as political but as business ques-
ton, counsel a measure of tariff re-
vision as soon as the taxing power
can move? The government will con-
tinue to need money for expenses IN
quantities. There would be neither
wise economy nor everyday prudence
in letting our affairs run down for
want OF the proper support. We must
find in some we'll considered way or
ways the money necessary to carry US
along until world conditions improve,
and give US our chance again as a ma
ton doing a large business with the
world.
The old controversy over protection
remains. and will be renewed when
the tariff is taken up. Protection
there must be, if Our domestic plants
are to thrive as against foreign plants
and American wage scales be supported.
Moreover, as everybody now knows,
protection as national policy does
not produce high cost Of living.
The real question relates to the indus
tries most worthy of protection, and
in what rates and schedules the policy
should be applied for the public as
against monopolistic benefit.

Wheat Speculations.

The recent transactions in the Chi

are almost wholly speculative. Taking
advantage of every shifting OF the
market conditions and magnifying the
effects of the war upon the world de-
mand. the plungers have for some
weeks been playing bull and bear
with this commodity. Enormous for
tunes have been made and lost by
these spectators without any real
gain or loss to the producers. The
unfortunate practical effect of this
game has been to render unstable the
price OF -four, and generally to send it
higher. In the face of our tremen-
