Mr.. McAdoo's Trial Balloon.

In the culinary world it IS well
established fact that you cannot
make an omelet without breaking
eggs. Upstairs, at table, 1t is an
equally well established fact that you
canfot eat your cake and have 1t.
In the world of larger affairs it is
beyond dispute that you cannot have
good and efficient government with
ont generously supporting it. These
little PHILOSOPHERS are all connected.
Just now the chief public concern
is with good and efficient government.
We must have it, and in order TO get
II we shall be obliged to break some
old theories and traditions.
Here is the war. We are not re-
sponslble for it. As yet, we are not
participants in it. But we are feeling
some OF the effects OF it. Necessa-
rily so, because it has dislocated all
business and produced many new con-
ditions the world over.
Among the conditions produced for
America are the need of a larger
revenuc for supporting the govern
ment, and I, much larger military and
naval establishment for protecting the
country against foreign aggression.
Both propositions are very clear to
a great majority of the people, and
Congress should deal with them
promptly and satisfactorily.
Both parties are for the country.
Neither would knowingly injure it.
But each is a party as that word is
accepted, and each has its ideas as
to what the present unusual and most
grave occasion calls for. What will
the harvest of the coming session of
Congress be?
Secretary McAdoo has sent up a
trial balloon. Already it has fixed at
tention. Some like it. Others do not.
Expressions will increase in number
and grow in. frankness as time passes.
That is the object of the ascension.
In the attempt to solve the matter

OF Illinois. a democrat, and mentioned
for the vice presidency, In speech
delivered in the recent campaign in
Kentucky did not stop at condemning
protection, but condemned also the
time-honored democratic policy of "a
tariff for revenue only" Neither pol
icy, in his opinion. is the policy for
the present emergency. And yet the
policy that Mr.. Lewis recommends
would carry large measure of di-
re.t protection.
Now that discussion has begun let
i. be thorough. Only one thing is en-
tireiy clear now, and that is that the
government needs more money for its
support than ever before. 1t must
be raised; and as a matter of course
the burden should be arranged so
that all. high and low, rich and poor,
should help bear it according to their
respective abilities. In the matter of
taxes legislators should play no
fayorites.

Grand Opera for Washington.

Efforts now being made to secure
grand opera for Washington by
means of a guarantee subscription
promise to be successful. 1t is to be
hoped that the project will be carried
through, insuring music-lovers in the
capital an opportunity this winter to
enjoy series of performances by ar
fists of ability, with support and ac-
cessories of frst-class quality. For
several seasons Washington has been
denied this privilege, owing to the i'll
success of past enterprises, and now
the chance is again offered, and at
the present rate of subscriptions the
outlook promises its acceptance.
Grand opera cannot subsist without
financial support. 1t is very expen-
sive, when produced on an appro-
pirate scale, and in most cities it is
practically subsidized by large season
subscriptions. The present plan will
enable Washington to be included in
ten-week tour of the Boston organ
ization, which ranks high in artistic
merit and, moreover, presents on the
road" performances identical with
those that are given at home, in this
respect differing satisfactorily from
other touring grand opera organiza-
tions. If the guarantee is given that
the producers not unreasonably re.
quire Washington's musical season
will be greatly enriched. There is a
large music-loving public here, and it
is fairly certain that if this enterprise
carries through the general support
will be generous.
