The New Postmaster.

Washington extends to its new
postmaster, Merritt O. Chance, a
warm welcome. He has been so long
an official resident of this city that
he has become fully identified with
its life and has won wide acquaint-
ance with its people. His career in
the government service has been a
successive progression, from one re-
sponslb1llty to another. In the
course OF his work Mr.. Chance has
been efficiency personihed, and he
has been OF valuable assistance to the
government in the establishment OF
more perfect systems OF work in re-
placement OF old methods OF familiar
and often cumbersome routine. Such
d man has the ideal qualifications for
the administration OF the city's pos
tai service
Mr. Praeger's promotion places him
in post OF higher responsibility and
gives him a national rather than d
local assignment Washington wish
cS him well in his new position
where his duties will be the more
familiar as result of his service a.
postmaster during the past eigliteer
months.

Jitneys as Common Carriers.

1t was inevitable that the JltneyS
should eventually be rated officially
as common carriers when the ques-
ton OF their status was hnally
brought to official attention. There
fore. the action OF the public utilities
commission Saturday in thus CLASH
flying them is no surprise. On the
contrary. it would have been distinct
ly surprising il they had been other
wise regarded. The so-called jitney,
or trackless street car, is no less a
public utility because it is an auto
mobile than is a car that is run upon
rigid route because OF the use OF
rails. 1t carries people for hire along
a fixed route by general agreement
with the public. 1t offers itself for
all corners who have the price of a
ride 1t is therefore subject to regu-
lation and restriction equally with
the street car. which is now bound
under strict accountability in re-
spect to safety and sanitation.
Just how far the jitney regulation
will go remains for determination.
The question OF rates remains to be
considered, and also that of trans
fers. which have been proposed. If
the Jitney routes are operated by in
dependent companies transfers would
naturally be given only through the
assent OF these companies. There is
no apparent ground for requiring the
transfer of passengers from one jit-
ney line to another Or from jitney
line to d street car line
AS for rates, the commission must,
OF course, ascertain first OF all
whether it is profitable to operate a
jitney line at the straight scent fare
that is the traditional price of ride
in such a conveyance. If it is profit
able-and presumably it is or the
lines would be suspended-then it re-
mains to be determined whether the
margin OF profit is such that the fare
can be cut down to the basis OF six
tickets for quarter, which is re-
duction OF 1875 per cent. In other
words, can the jitneys compete with
the car lines on the same fare basis,
or are they to be given an advantage
OF five-sixths of cent ride over the
tracked carrier? This is for the COM
mission to ascertain upon careful
examination of the matter.

Congress and the National Defense,

Senator Lodge, an advocate OF pre-
parcdneSS. is on the stump at home
speaking on the subject \ state
campaign Is beginning to take shape
and he is his party'> leading spell
binder. An accomplished politician
and stout partisan always, he never
neglectS an opportunity to score for
his side when the facts warrant
In this matter, however. the senior
senator from Massachusetts, is too
fair and we'll informed to attempt
to saddle the responsibility for our
inadequate national defense on the
opposition. He expressly states to
his audiences that he is not blaming
any part OF the administration for
this condition.
Mr.. Lodge knows that. for years.
Congress has not done its duty by
the country in this matter, though
repeatedly urged to do so. As no
war at the time was threatening us.
the majority OF the politicians as
sumed that we were safe for all time.
Hence. as often as made. the recon-
mendations OF our soldiers and sail
ors. who knew better, were turned
down. and the country fingered in
blissful repose." Neither the army
nor the navy received anything near
the proper allowances. Congress
after Congress Skimped both.
Twelve months ago the country be-
gan to SIT up and take notice. A
war picture was presented which was
full OF instruction for everybody.
While we were not in it. nobody
could fail to see that in case we were
drawn in our equipment would be a
Jest. Helpless on land. we were but
little better off on the water.
II a measure OF criticism applies
to the last Congress that does not
apply to some OF its predecessors it is
because at its second session, with

still in state OF anarchy, no pro-

our war establishments. The neces-
sity should have been recognized by
Congress as it was by the boards OF
the War Department and the Navy
Department charged specifically with
the duty OF studying the national
needs of that description.
But let that pass. Let the dead
past bury its dead The point now is
TO put the country into such con-
dition as that, ii war for US should
come, our dejenses would be adequate
for our protection as against any foe
advancing from any quarter. This is
something for both parties and all
sections to consider in a spirit of true
nationality and the broadcast patriot
ism.

The Placid Oyster.

The bulls and bears have scrambled
And the little lambs have gamboled,
And the dove of peace has futtered
in dismay;
The mule SO hale and hearty
Has been kicking for his party,
And the elephant has trumpeted
away.
But we're drifting to September,
And it's pleasant to remember
That below the angry waters of the
sea
There's the contemplativc oyster
In his silent, shelly cloister
Dwelling placid and contented as can
be.
He is mild and never frisky;
He avoids temptations risky
To think beyond his daily nourish-
ment,
Till some dredger without pity,
From his home SO moist and gritty
Drags him forth and puts an end to
his content.
We admire the gentle oyster;
But we pay the busy holster
Who can make him useful on the bill
of fare.
For the philosophic shirker
Has to line up with the worker
And in some way be compelled to do
his share.

reputation. Men OF peace, and best
equipped for public duties in time OF
peace, they yet rose successfully to
war emergency.
The House being large and noisy
body, men of Gov Longs sort do not
always succeed there. His voice was
low, his language precise. his deliv-
cry calm and even deferentlal. Al
though good partisan, he was fair
ness itself in controversy, and won
by what is called sweet reasonable
ness" Mr. Dingley was another
such, and he, too, won. But, as a
rule, House honors and successes go
to those who when they take the
floor make it plain that they are
out for blood" and who manage to
draw the "claret. before resumlng
their seats
The Senate would have suited Gov.
Long better. but he could never open
the way. Had he reached that body
he would have found an atmosphere
entirely to his liking and promot1ve
OF his best endeavors. But he
wrought so well in the places he did
reach that he is to be numbered
among the most attractive and use
jul OF the men New England has con-
tributed to our national politics IN
the past half century: and he is de-
serving OF long remembrance.
