Price the President Has Paid.

President Wilson has now exhausted his ammu-
milton in his efforts bring the ship purchase bill
to bag at this session. His last shot was the an.
nounccmcnt that unless the bill is passed by this
Congress he WILL As soon as it expires, call the
SiNty-fourth Congress in extra session; and it has
proved ineffective There is not the slightest
reason to suppose that the opposition to the
measure will weaken or commit any tactical error
that the victory is so nearly The
chances for the bills passage at this session were
never so small at this moment To say moth
ing of the deplorable waste OF time and neglect
OF the nations business by the Senate, it seems
a pity that President Wilson, by his dogged in
sistence upon legislation which he is almost alone
in regarding as imperative should sacrifice the
mastery control he has welded the makers
of law for the two years OF his administration
and cause something very like serious split in
his party. The situation today wildly recalls the
authoritative demand in the Presidents Indian
apoIis speech for teamwork in the party Almost
ever since that speech he has been doing the team
work by himself; he has been in step, but his
party has been out of step.
Even with all that has been sacrificed ultimate
success for the President is by means assured
Assuming that the ship purchase bill fails in this
Congress- but is forced through the Senate at the
extra session, its fate in the House can only be
as doubtful. There it will go before
greatly reduced Democratic majority, while the
Republicans will be tremendously re-enforced by
the return OF some stalwart figures of the Old
Guard 1t will be no easy task to hold the Demo
cratic majority intact on the side OF the bill
The President has paid large price for
hand in a new game.

Municipal Ownership.

The members of the Washington Chamber oi
Commerce gave full and fair consideration to the
Crosser bill for municipal ownership OF the street
railways of the District and expressed unanimous
disapproval of the measure. The organization may
be said to be fairly representative OF Washingtons
views While the chamber was taking its vote
District Commissioner Ludlow, who believes in
municipal ownership, in public address was ex-
pressing doubt as to whether the system would be
successful here at the present time 1t is not at
all likely that Congress will enact the Crosser bill
To do so in the face of the opposition Of those
who would be compelled to bear most of the bur-
den of failure would manifestly be unjust. Wash
ington, in common with nearly every other COM
munity, has been suffering from overhanging
threats of legislation against its business interests
Even now the country's recovery from industrial
depression is being retarded by the agitators who
can see nothing good in anything that exists This
is the time of all times for the agitators and dis
turbers to keep quiet. Let them try their rostrum
turbers to keep quiet Let them try their nostrums

Be Americans First.

1t is remarkable that any association Of Amer
can citizens should organize a national move
ment ito re-establish genuine American neu-
trality" and make their basic demand the adoption
by the United States of a policy which would at
once put the nation squarely in unneutral
position
There millions of good American citizens
whose sympathies in the great with the
Fatherland. If Germany controlled the seas and
were able to give safe conduct to ships loaded
with munitions of war for the Kaisers troops,
these citizens would resent any attempt to close
the American market They would be right in
so doing. 1t is not for a neutral to make its
policy fit the changing fortunes of war; according
to its sympathies. 1t must follow precedent and
international law.
1t is unfortunate that an organiza-
ton should be formed to introduce into our
politics the anmosties of foreign nations, or to
pledge candidates to course favorable to this
foreign power or that Such scheme is freighted
with peril for the United States, and with more
peril for the willing to embark so hazard
Gus an enterprise. The war may be over before
another election of Importance takes place in this
country, and it will be fortunate if it is, for when
our foreign policy and Interpretation of inter
national law become partisan questions to be de-
termined by popular vote, then crisis will pile
on crisis and our days OF peace will be numbered
The way to be neutral is to be neutral, which
means to give the advantages of our open markets
to whatever nations wish and are able to take

The far-fetched charge made in the House OF
Representatives yesterday that President Wilson
had influenced the decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the railway rate case was
fully refuted by Representative Gordon, of Ohio,
who said 81 heard so much about it that / went
TO the President himself and he told me it was not
so and that he would as soon think of infuenc-
ing the Supreme Court of the United States as he
would to endeavor to influence the Interstate
Commerce Commission" The attitude of the Pres
dent should commend itself to Congress, espe-
cialy to certain members of the Senate whose tor
rents of oratory while the rate case was pending
had no apparent object but the influencing of the
commission. Probably the members of the COM
mission were influenced only by the results of
their prolonged investigation and their own COM
mon sense But whatever were the influences that
resulted in the advance In freight rates the coun-
try should be grateful that its railroads have been
saved from bankruptcy.

Cites an Example.

] NlteS an Example.
Suppose for example. that 4 number
! OF men start a drayage business here in
Boston and begin the delivery Of coal.
! lumber. merchaGdise and other COmmOd-
! tiles from docks railroad yards. and
storehouses. They buy wagons. horses,
and trucks and equip themselves TO
handle business promptly and satisfac-
| torily with the hope Cf making not only
| a living, but some profit After they have
| been in business for a time a number Of
men appear and begin TO tell the owners
and managers how to run the business.
| None of these men has any financial in
| terest in the business. but one man says:
81 have been looking at your wagons
and their beds are not the right distance
| from the ground, and you must change
that. Also. the buckles and harness are
not of the proper type and the steps Of
your wagons are wrong and you must fix
these
Another man says: The lanterns you
give TO your teamsters are not the right
kind. and the engines on Your motor
! trucks are wrong and you must get new
ones
Another man says: I see you are
hauling milk and perishab!e goods in your
wagons. and in such cases you must
hurry and move at least ten miles an
hour and carry one extra man
Another says: I represent the State
! and We have decided that your sheds
and barns are not the right kind and
you must tear down and build new ones
Meantime. a committee of employees
has come forward and demanded p per
cent increase in wages and shorter hours
At the same time the city. the county.
and the state require the owners TO make
most elaborate and detailed statements
about every item of the business impOs-
ing wholly unnecessary charge upon it.
As a result Of all this the owners and
managers are rather confused and some
what discouraged at :he interference and
their efforts to give good service are
largely nulified. so that they are tempted
to say as the fiddler did in the mining
camp, Please don't shoot for l am doing
the best I can

piled locally to a drayage company. but
