The Fine Arts Commission.

The replacement on the fine arts
commission by Herbert Adams of
Daniel c. French, the sculptor, whose
resignation was required in view of
the fact that he is to be the sculptor
of the statue which will form the
central feature of the Lincoln me-
mortal, maintains the high standard
of this important body. From the
beginning the fine arts commission
has been in its personnel a credit to
the American government, and its in
huence has worked to the advantage
directly of the capital and indirectly
of that of all other American cities.
1t will be in the line of proper de-
velopment if the powers of the COM
mission with respect to designs for
public structures are enlarged so
that this body can exercise an actual
veto upon projects that are definitely
inartistic and out of harmony with
the general plan for the development
of Washington.

Rate Discrimination.

Washington merchants claim, in
their briefs just filed with the inter
state commerce commission, that the
railroads entering this city charge
discriminatory rates on freight sc
that commodities can be shipped
more cheaply from points east and
north to points south of this city
and then back to Washington, than
from the same points to Washington
direct. Such a discrimination should
if proved before the commission, be
promptly checked by that body. 1t
is distinct violation of the long and
short haul clause of the law, and
through its operation Washington
suffers. The complainants in the
case include practically the entire
local business community, and it is
to be hoped that their protest will
be speedily heard and decided.

The Classification Of Jitneys.

When the jitney proposition was
first broached here The Star urged
that the public utilities commission
should take these vehicles under
their direct jurisdiction and regula-
ton, as common carriers, running ap-
proximately on routes and schedules.
The parallel between the street cars
and the jitneys on the one side and
the taxicabs and the Jitneys on the
other was pointed out as a reason
why the new form of conveyance
should be regulated as the commits
sion regulates already the cars, and
is undertaking by measures that have
been challenged in court to regulate
the other. Thus far, however, the
commission has been reluctant to put
the jitney in the category of a pub
lie utility, and these vehicles are run
ming around town with virtual free
dom from all but the ordinary rules
of traffic, charging fares and carry
ing loads according to their own will.
Now a question arises which may
prove seriously embarrassing to the
commission. A delegation of colored
citizens enters protest that members
of their race are excluded from jit-
neys, and they demand that the We
hicles be placed under regulation as
common carriers. Should their de-
mand be needed it will be impossible
to exclude any applicant for a ride
on jitney. Only by keeping the jit-
neys in the category of unregulated
private vehicles operating at the viii
of the driver and without restriction
as to rates and routes can the Com
missioners prevent the colored people
from acquiring equal rights with the
whites in their use.
Occupying, as it does, middle
ground between the street car and
the taxicab, the jitney is undoubted-
ly common carrier if, as the Commis-
sioners urge, the taxicab is. Should
they deny the plea of the colored
people for free access to the Jltneys
as public utilities they unquestion-
ably weaken their contention that
the taxicab is a common carrier and
subject to regulation as to rates.
This matter cannot be indefinitely
postponed, even though it may be
the Commissioners public-spirited
desire to give the jitneys opportunity
to establish themselves for the sake
of the public convenience which they
undoubtedly afford.

Arbitration in Chicago.

The Chicago street car strike is to
be settled by arbitration, after all, a
decision to that effect having been
reached forty-eight hours after the
men stopped work. 1t would have
been infinitely better if the differ
ences between the companies and
the operatives had been referred to
umpires at the outset, but it is sure
ly better to arbitrate after two days
OF senseless striking than after two
weeks or month. Everybody gains
by such a course. If the law COM
PEELED arbitration in advance of
striking millions of dollars would be
saved and the public would be spared
heavy burdens of loss and incon-
venience. Chicago's speedy realiza-
ton of the folly and injustice of an
unarbitrated labor difference is in
reality a strong argument for a statu-
tory provision for the automatic ref
erence of such disputes to compe-
tent conciliation boards.

in both directions by generous ap-
propriations. That would take the
wind out of Mr.. Bryan's sails, and
leave him dead on the water. He
would be negligible quantity in the
presidential equation.
This would be true for the reason
that everything now seems to assure
the administration full support for
an intelligent program for "an ade-
quate national defense"-one of the
promises OF that much abused and
often neglected document, the Baltl-
more platform Secretary Garrison
has ideas favorable to the army, and
Secretary Daniels ideas as favorable
to the navy, and both in their annual
reports to Congress will express
themselves accordingly. And it is an
easy assumption that the President
will SUPPORT his two advisers on mat
ters pertaining to their departments.
1t is we'll understood now that the
program for an adequate national
defense has for its object the put
ting of no particular nation but all
nations on notice. We shall not be
preparing for but against war, in
structed by a great confagratlon,
which has shown that when nation
needs preparedness she needs it
above everything else. For nation
of our size to be as helpless as we
are is a reflection on both its intel
ligence and character-a confession
of ignorance of the world OF which

Lost Illusions.

The latest statistics of the Depart
ment of Labor concerning the cost
of living in this country show that
prices for many articles - higher
today than ever before, and have
been rising since 1907. That year
antedates the Payne tariff law. So
there is proof of two things: C) the
PAYNE law was not responsible for
dear living. and f2) the Underwood
law did not correct the trouble about
which there was general complaint.
There are three things about which
the country since 1912 has received
valuable instructions and should
profit by in early national legisla-
ton. The tariff is one. We know
now that tariff law drawn on pro-
lection lines. frankly confessed. does
not increase the cost of living. and
that. by the same token. tariff law
drawn on anti-protection lines does
not lower it. A theme for a good
deal of red-hot stump oratory has
thus been consigned to the scrap
heap.
Much has been learned about the
amount of money necessary to sup
port the government. We are bet
ter advised about the size of our es-
tablishment than we were three
years ago. Both parties are on rec
ord now in favor of liberal support.
True, each party accuses the other of
extravaganza But that is only poll
tics The fact remains that when the
republicans were in power they voted
large supplies, and when the demo-
Gratis came in they increased the fig
ures. Economy when next discussed
must carry specifications. Glittering
round numbers and still more glitter
ing promises of reform have lost
their power as vote-getters.
If there is to be additional 1egisla-
ton bearing on trusts it must be
shaped by those who understand the
subject and have in mind the public
benefit, and not by politicians wholly
ignorant of the laws of business and
bent on personal advertisement and
political preferment Not only the
courts, but public opinion and pub
lie conditions, have called halt on
the demagogues and muckrakers
training their tongues and pens on
capital and those who possess and
use it in large amounts for large
ends.
In business circles and about busi-
ness issues-the tariff. the trusts, the
currency-there has existed for some
years a reign of terror, produced
largely for party advantage and con-
Quoted largely through party agen-
cies. Charges of the widest descrip-
ton have been hurled right and left,
and many of them accepted by voters
without means or the time for inves-
tigation A change for the better
seems at hand. and all should well
come and promote it. Experience is
a dear school. but all of US at one
time or another attend.

Putting Men to Work.

That idleness is not incurable and
that employment can be given to the
men who are willing to work with
out bestowing charity upon them is
the lesson taught by Mr.. B. H. War
ner. whose experiment in this direc-
ton was observed yesterday by his
guests. Wr. Warner has shown
how the men who are ordinarily
cared for by private and public be-
nehcence. men without trades or spe-
cial aptitudes and without jobs and
often without hope, can be put to
Evening star., 1915-06-16

work proftably and valuably. 1t
does not follow that through similar
means the problem of unemployment
can be finally solved in this country,
but Mr.. Warmers demonstration at
least points the way to the utilization
of opportunities at present neglected
to give sustaining work to the thou
sands of drifters who are now bur-
den upon the cities. 1t would be we'll
for all who own property to look
about for similar chances to lend a
helping hand to the idle ones and at
the same time helping themselves in
getting necessary tasks accomplished.

Mr.. Bryan's Future.

There are two lines of discussion
respecting Mr.. Bryan. One has to do
with next year, and suggests him as
an opponent OF Mr.. Wilson either as
an independent candidate for Presi-
dent on a platform with peace as
the paramount issue, or as straight
out prohibition candidate with the
drink evil emphasized.
The other line has to do with the
issue OF the national defense as it
will be presented when Congress
convenes. II is predicted that Mr..
Bryan will then put himself at the
head of the pacihcists of both par
ties and endeavor TO defeat the ap-
peals for larger army and larger
navy
This second line is the more inter
csting of the two just now. In fact.
the first line derives its interest from
the second.
Let US suppose Mr.. Bryan success
ful as the leader of the pacifcists-
the army continued as a skeleton or
ganization, and the navy denied the
increase recommended by experts.
That would make him very strong
next year, and might induce him to
attempt something further in the ma
ture of leadership. There would be
temptation for him to urge a pol
ICY on the country pointing toward
aarly disarmament.
On the other hand, let US suppose
the pacihcists defeated-a larger
army and a larger navy favored by
Congress, and q liberal start made
