Lansing points out, it has overhowed
still further into privately owned
buildings beyond the limits of that
portion of the tri-department strue-
ture allotted to it. Its work is done
under a heavy handicap of incon-
venience, and is attended with con-
siderable danger of destruction OF
vitality important records.
The new Department of State
should stand, not back on the Mall,
but at the northwest corner OF the
hve-square site, where it would be
most convenient for White House
communication-and where it would
hold a commanding position. If this
matter is taken up at the present
session - and every practical con-
sideration of government econ
omy demands that it should be. de-
spite any momentary financial strin-
gency-a decision should be recorded
to erect at that point a State De-
partment building of appropriate de-
sign and large enough to accomn1o-
date all the now scattered bureaus,
with room for growth.

Imprisonment for Gamblers.

1t is evident that the imposition of
fines upon those who maintain gam
ing tables" in this city and are caught
by the police does not sufficiently act
as a deterrent. Those who engage
in this practice for profit regard the
fines as incidental expenses, to be
reeouped from the gains, with in
terest. The chances of detection are
perhaps slight, and it pays to pay
and play again. But if. as the United
States attorney at the Police Court
proposes, the penalty be changed to
imprisonment the business of keeping
gambling establishments will be at
tended with risks that will heavily
outweigh the profits.
The law strictly forbids gambling in
Washington. If it is not to be dead
letter it must be enforced. If gam
bling is tolerated in one form it will
flourish in another. If the courts
merely impose fines there will be no
checking of the games that drain the
pockets of hundreds for the benefit
of a handful of professional pro-
moters. To arrest and fine an occa-
sional keeper of a gaming table" is
merely to impose tax upon those
who are unlucky enough to be caught
Attorney Given has the right idea OF
the way to enforce the law and should
and doubtless will have the full sup
port of the court in his efforts to
carry it into effect.

Americas Christmas.

Christmas is at hand after sea-
son of unprecedented shopping. From
every hand come reports that the rec
ords have been broken in the stores.
Enormous quantities of goods have
been shipped by express and by post.
The 1915 buying has made that OF
1914 look like three-tenths of dollar.
just why this is so can be easily
reckoned. Last year there was no
lack of real prosperity. The country
was simply nervous over the un-
precedented foreign conditions. The
war had come in the summer with a
suddenness that shocked the world,
and the American people, though Sc
cure from the turmoil itself, were in
doubt as to where the conhagration
might spread. Business was unset
tied, but it was not bad. On the
contrary, crops were good and the
mills were already beginning to buzz
with the filing of foreign orders.
Since then this country has been
flooded with .@war ORDERS" and every
available man has been put to work.
The stoppage of the ordinary cur
rents of trade has been far more
than compensated by the extraordi-
nary activities incidental to the great
struggle.
Had the Lusitania sinking oc-
Cured in November instead of in
May, with the same rising of Ameri-
can feeling. it is probable that this
would have been meager Christmas
from the business point of view. The
lapse of six months has permitted a
calming of feeling, and at least a par
tial adjustment of the issues arising
from that tragedy. There is now no
cloud on the international horizon,
from the American point of view,
notwithstanding the difference be-
tween the United States and Austria
over the Ancona case, which is likely
to be settled after an exchange of
notes.
The great regret of the American
people is that they may not share
their Christmas with the people of
Europe. They are helpless, however.
Nothing that can be done or said on
this side will avail to check the war
at its present stage. We must con-
tent ourselves with the prayer that
before another Christmas has come
peace will have been restored on
earth.

A State Department Building.

Secretary Lansing urgently recon-
mends that Congress promptly make
provision for the erection of an ade-
quate building for the Department of
State. The Attorney General has
similarly presented the requirement
of the Department of Justice for a
home of its own. Doubtless if the
Department of Commerce were not
for the present comfortably, if in
appropriately, housed in a privately
constructed building it. too, would be
urgent in its requisition for an Off
cial residence.
These are the three executive de-
partments for which buildings have
been already tentatively planned by
the governm mt for erection on the
so-called hve-square site purchased
by the United States at the western
end of the Mall-Avenue triangle.
When the site was designated and
proceedings were begun for the con-
demnation it was pointed out that
the space was not sufficient for all
three OF the department homes, and
subsequently the fine arts commits
sion recommended that the Depart
ment of State should be located on
the Mall itself, adjoining the FIVE
square tract. Against this proposal
there was immediate protest on the
score of further invasion of the
park for departmental building pur-
poses. II was suggested that at least
if the Mall site be chosen q corre-
spending portion of the triangle
should be acquired and added to the
reservation, to make compensation
for the absorption of park area.
Nothing, however, has been done
during these past few years to re-
lieve the building congestion. Mean
while the departments of State, JUS
tice and Commerce have grown. Dur
ing the past year the work of the
State Department has been enor-
mously increased, until, ~ Secretary

Safety and Sanity.

We finally succeeded
In a program greatly needed;
July the Fourths entirely safe and

But we've got to start movement
For more uplift and improvement
As Christmas day is under way again.

As we struggle to be careful
When the lights upon the tree invite
our gaze;
Lest for water Sanity dasfes
With his whiskers burned to ashes
And his canton flannel clothing afl

OF preventing Indigestion
When confectionery makes its vast

Let's avoid each threat of sadness
And make Christmas with its glad
Just as safe and sane as Independ-

A Warm Shiniy Ahead.

The friends of preparedness are
able to see now what they are "up
against" and should prepare for a
warm shindy when Congress reas-
semb1es.
1t is going to be warmer than was
at one time expected. Mr.. Kitchin
did not intend to mislead the public
he is quite incapable of such a
thing-but in effect he did so in his
first pronouncement on the subject.
While admitting his own opposition
to preparedness, he expressed the
opinion that the President would win
easily; that Congress would yield
readily and vote as the President de-
sired.
Things wear a different complexion
today. Mr.. Kitchin's name is being
used by the opposition at its full
value-which is considerable-and
there is the promise of tussle for
the President. If he is to win he
must put forth his full strength.
We are admonished not to fill the
land with soldiers or the seas with
ships, as if preparedness spelled that
and nothing less. Look at Europe,
and be wise. Soldiers everywhere
and ships to burn, and the most CO.
lossal war of history the result.
We are likewise admonished that
preparedness will change the signih-
canoe of America in the international
equation. There should be no change
in us. Let Europe change all she
pleases. But, separated as we are
from her. that change need not affect
matters on this side of the Atlantic.
The world is not going to resume
business at the old stand when the
war is over. A new order of things
is being forged in the hot fires now
burning, and we shall be obliged to
adjust ourselves to it. We must take
intimate account of what comes out
of the furnace. We must meet the
old nations in their new conditions.
This obligation will cost money;
and while there is room for differ
ences of opinion as to where the
money should be found, the debate
should not take on rancor, Or any
other spirit threatening deadlock
or defeat.
Another point. While about it,
Congress should do the work thor
oughly and on generous scale. If
the order looks large, let it be re-
membered that the country is large,
the obligation large, and the neces-
sity altogether unprecedented. Had
we been wiser and truer to our
selves in the past, so large an order
would not now be necessary.

The Minimum Meter Charge.

The public utilities commission, in
approving the proposal to supply cleo
trio current for heating and cooking
at lower rates than for lighting, has
insisted upon reduction Of the mini
mum meter charge for the former
service from s. to 50 cents . month.
This is q concession to the public
thst, while gratifying. 10 not sufii-
cient. The reasons for any minimum
meter charge At all for electric cur
rent has never been made plain to
the consumers of electricity. There
is no corresponding charge for gas,
whether used for lighting or for
other purposes. and there is no sup
Elementary meter charge however
many meters are used to measure the
gas Aow. Just why there are service
Evening star., 1915-12-24

expenses connected with the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of electric
meters that are not existent in the
gas service is not apparent. II the
minimum electric meter charge IS
proper there is no reason why the
gas company should not be permitted
to establish such a minimum As
meter charge as well. 1t is this dis
tinction which causes public wonder
ment and calls for explanation to Jus
tify the continuance and extension
of the practice of the electricity-pro-
ducing corporation.
The minimum meter charge does
not cut any figure for the majority
of users during the greater part OF
the time. But there are periods of
the year when this charge is direct
toll for non-service. In the summer
many Washington homes, where the
supplementary service is chiefly used,
are closed wholly or in part and the
electricity use is virtually checked.
To charge even 50 cents a month for
the maintenance of a meter during
that time is to tax the consumer for
what he does not get. Inasmuch as
he has during the greater part OF the
year been paying far above the mini
mum for his current it would seem to
be unfair to require him to pay 50
cents month for nothing during the
time when his establishment is
closed and the current is not in use.
1t is to be hoped that the utilities
commission will examine further into
this matter of meter charges, and as
certain the equities, whether with
reference to the lighting or the sup
Elementary heating and cooking serv-
ice. The approval of the present
proposition of the company does not
close the case.
