The Renewed Demand.

The reiterated demand of the
downtown business men of the city
for the establishment of a fully
equipped branch postal station in the
old post Office building is worthy of
serious consideration, even though a
similar demand has been rejected
heretofore. The fact that the pre-
vious petition to this effect was de-
MED does not necessarily close the
case. The situation created by the
removal of the postal facilities from
the main building to the new city
post Office is serious handicap upon
the merchants of the mid-city sec
ton. They have not found sufficient
accommodation at the store branch
es. They do not find the sub station
at 9th and F streets adequate in point

clusively that the present arrange

Mississippi.

A new man has appeared in Mis-
sissippi politics-new in the sense
that his latest achievement is pointed
to by his friends as foretelling great
influence in that state, and maybe
throughout the south in the near
future. He has served in the state
senate and in the Office of lieutenant
governor, but his nomination for gov
ernor, which is equivalent to cleo
ton, shows growth of a promising
character, and he may go far.
This is Theodore G. Bilbo, less than
forty years old, college bred. a
lawyer, rousing stump speaker, and
politically and otherwise a fighter.
For so young man, he has seen a
good deal of politics. and likes the
game. He has been the center of
several warm contests; but the sue
cess of his latest appeal to the
people is evidence that he has held
his own in the hurly-burly.
Mississippi is hospitable toward
young men in politics. John Sharp
Williams, now the most distinguished
citizen of the state, won his spurs
at an early age. He is not an old
man now, but has. been in Congress
so long. and so conspicuous there, he
is rated as veteran. A lawyer by
education, planter by choice, he is
a politician by nature; and after en-
tering politics he liked the field SO

The Potomac Power Estimates,

There should be no difficulty in ar
ranging basis for the submission of
estimates to Congress for the pro-
posed Potomac water power project.
Obviously this is in the nature of a
joint undertaking of the United
States and the District of Columbia.
Whether the ratio of cost be half
and-half, or one-third and two-thirds
or one-quarter and three-quarters,
as has been variously suggested, there
must evidently be a division of the
expense. The government cannot
expect the District to bear more than
its proportionate share of the cost.
certainly not more than, if as much
as, onehalf, nor can the District ex-
pect the government to bear the
whole burden, inasmuch as a large
measure of the benefit is to be de-
rived by the local community. In
respect to this division of the cost the
result of the forthcoming considera-
ton by joint committee of Congress
of the fiscal question may have an
important bearing. But it is not es-
sential to await the conclusion of
that inquiry. The estimates can be
submitted, on broad basis, and the
question left to Congress. It is, of
course, assumed that the administra-
ton, which must take the initiative,
will not prejudice the Districts case
by proposing an unfair ratio of cost
division.
AS for the initiative, it should
come undoubtedly from the United
States. The Potomac is under fed
eral jurisdiction. The government
has paramount rights in the prem
Uses. 1t will naturally undertake the
work itself, when authorized. It
would in these circumstances be
proper for the recommendation to
come from a federal source, and not
initially from the District of Column
bia. But with both sides favoring
the enterprise, and with the Presi-
dent interested to the end that the
deplorable waste of Potomac power
be stopped in the interest of govern
mental and municipal economy, there
is little danger of a deadlock over
this question. The Potomac must be
harnessed to do the capitals work,
and no more time must be lost in
the prosecution of the task. Not
even the necessity for large expendi-
lures for national defense, which are
expected to be authorized at the next
session of Congress, should inter-
vene to cause further postponement
of this undertaking, the neglect of
which has already cost the people
many millions of dollars.
