WASHINGTON'S SUBURBS

Though Washington, in no sense,
is a city of suburbs, such as Boston.
it has a rapidly growing array OF
suburbs which now must be taken
into account in any estimate Of its
business strength or total population
50 far as community purposes are
concerned. Many of these suburbs
have come to the front within the
last few years.
This rapid growth among suburbs
is indicated by the addition of 100
pages to the new Suburban Direc-
tory, at the rate of forty-five names
to the page. Here then, are 4,50O
added, within a year, to the Capt.
tails buying public; for practically
all these suburbs depend upon Wash
ington for every need except perish
able groceries, and in many cases
these are furnished through Wash
ington grocers.
In talking Washington to outside
business men, and in estimating the
buying power of Washington's pub
lie, this suburban population can
not be left out of the reckoning. 1t
is apt to be overlooked because many
Of the suburbs lie just across the
District line, in Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and are not included in either
the Federal or the police census. The
population OF. "Greater Washington"
it is safe to assert, exceeds either of
these estimates by at least 10000.
Washington merchants are awak-
ening to this fact, and many now
cater to this suburban population.
These suburbs offer a fertile field
even yet for any merchant who, by
proper service and effective public
ity, can gain a hold on this large
element of Washington's trade.

Of trouble for any Balkan state that
shows disposition to make itself
troublesome.
But recently there have been null
tiplying signs that Italy is finally to
become a belligerent. It is hard to
see how she can afford to keep out,
for she wants Trieste and the Tren-
tino as her part of the spoils that
must be taken from Austria. There
will be, if the allies win, plenty of in
sistence on portions of the Austro-
Hungarian raiment. A new Poland
will pare off the Galician slice, and a
greater Serbia will want more. Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina will hardly be
allowed to remain Austrian. Italy
has already planted troops in Alba
MIA, backed by an apparent purpose
to stay, so that any Austrian hope of
controlling the Adriatic is more like
ly to be turned into a complete bank
ruptcy in that quarter.
With so many actually warning
states seeking something, there may
not be enough to go round and take
care of countries that are not open
ly in the war. Therefore the more
need for Italy to get in while the
chance of earning her share of the
rewards is yet good. This is roughly
the explanation of the general belief
that Italy has made occasion to send
note to Germany about shipping
interference, that is said to. be much
more provocative than the commune
cation from Washington.

HUGE COTTON EXPORTS

As the cotton records are kept,
there had been exported since Au-
gust 1 up to the close of last week
only 4,45S, ,429 bales, against $685.
290 in the corresponding period of
tho year before. But if our over
seas commerce is not to be driven off
the seas-and nobody seriously
thinks it is to be-the rate at which
the exports have gone on this season
as compared with last season fore
casts a huge cotton trade yet to be
scored with the latest crop.
In the months from August / to
December l We shipped not third
OF what went out the year before.
There were only about a million and
a quarter bales, as against more
than four million in 1913. But we
have just seen more cotton sent out
in four weeks than went out in four
months following the war. This lat
ter export is 100000 more bales than
went out in the corresponding four
weeks last year. 1t is more than
ever went out in any other corre-
spending four weeks in the history
of the country.
II we did little or nothing last
summer, this is the way we do it
now to make up for lost time: Third
week in January, $4,000 more bales
than in 1914; fourth week in Jan
uary, $1,000 bales more: first in Feb
ruary, 275,000 more; second in Feb
ruary, $4,000 more. In those four
weeks the average gain over the cor
responding period last year was
more than 100000 bales a week.
In the last fortnight the exports
were $4,000 bales. Cotton is still
relatively cheap, but when we give
the foreign market more than 8OO,-
900 bales in two weeks at approxi-
mately $45 bale it means busi-
ness in that line alone of some $751;
100000 a week. And the rest of the
world is not yet beginning to ex-
press its demand for our cotton.
At the very outbreak of hostilities
in Europe this paper declared that
the worlds consumption of cotton
must 60 on, war or no war. And
now it begins to appear that even
more cotton will be needed in the
war than ever was needed in peace.
If the South has not already seen
that it could make no greater mis-
take than to abandon large part of
its cotton cultivation this year, it
will be breaking its neck to get back
to the raising of its usual crop be-
fore the winter tourist and the birds
come fitting North again.

SAUCE FOR THE CANDER

Inc COMMITTEE on Railway Mai
Pay has issued a comparison of the
payments that the Government
makes to it's own railroad-the Pan.
ANA line-and to other roads, pri-
vately owned. The statement de.
clares that the little railway across
the isthmus is paid for hauling the
mails, $2.77 per ton mile; whereas
the railroads in the United States
are paid an average of 10 cents per
ton mile.
Doubtless there are circumstances
which, properly weighed, make the
discrimination in fact less than it ap-
pears on the face of these figures;
but it is hard to believe that there is
justification for such a wide differ
ence, and without very convincing
testimony nobody is believing it. The
railways, the Postoffice Department,
and Congress have got into hope
less tangle over the railway mail pay
business, that ought and needs to be
settled as soon as possible. The rea-
sonable, businesslike way to settle
this question is to repose in some
proper authority the power to fix
the compensation for carrying mails.
1t is no more the proper business of
Congress than is the fixing of other
railroad rates. If the Interstate
Commerce Commission is the one
body equipped to fix rates on the
transportation of express matter,
and OF freight, why should it not fix
the rates on that particular kind of
freight that is hauled under the
stamps of the postoffice? If the fix
ing OF railroad rates in general is
too complex task for a legislative
body to perform; and if therefore it
Is deemed necessary to delegate to a
commission the power to do this
work-then why not give a commits
sion the power over mail rates?
There is the more reason for con-
centrating all the rate-making pow-
er in one body, because the Govern
ment has recently assumed the re-
sponsibility for the general finan-
cial results of railroad operation.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the advance rates case took
the broad ground that the railroads
need of money justifes giving them
higher rates. There may be ground
for difference of opinion about that
view; but the fact is that, as result
OF a strong and long campaign of
appeal to public opinion, that policy
has been adopted, and it seems un-
likely soon to be changed. The pub
lie has come to feel that it's control
OF railroads imposes on it a respon-
sibility for them; and that their rev.
enues become matter of public con-
cern. They must be kept in business
their credit sustained, their ability
to make improvements left unim-
paired.
In this view, it would seem that
the same authority which has con.
troll over freight and passenger
rates, ought to have coeval domina-
tion in the matter of compensation
for carrying mails. Presumably
that authority knows the problem in
it's wider aspects best. 1t is very
sure that there is need for a proper
solution of this question, and this
seems at least a plan worth serious
consideration.
