UNCLE SAM HIS OWN LANDLORD

Uncle Sam ought never to have
dreamed of becoming a tenant in
Washington. This town was con-
ceived, planned, directed, built, ad-
ministered, to be the Nations Capt.
tai. 1t was a grand conception, de-
serving such an execution as it has
not thus far had.
The whole nation, indeed the whole
world, looks to Washington to be
built up to the standard that was set
for it in the conception of it's found.
ers. The Government must be the
chief architect in carrying out any
such plan. 1t is elemental that if
the city is to be given the character
that the ideal contemplates, Govern
ment must be the largest substantial
contributor.
To this end, Congress has just pro-
vided for the creation Of a Public
Buildings Commission Of men well
equipped to perform the task. The
chairmen of the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations and
on Public Buildings, the supervising
architect, and the superintendent Of
the Capitol and other public build
ings and grounds constitute the
membership. It is required to report
a general scheme for public building
development in this city, with a view
to housing all the Government ac-
Invites.
Far more important than the mere
fact that such commission has been
constituted, is the fact that Congress
is plainly now in a frame of mind to
give heed to recommendations. There
is a better perception Of the oppor-
tunity and the possibilities of Wash
ington than ever before. 1t will re-
quire much money and years of time
to work out such a project; but in
the end it will not only make a
marvel city, but also work an actual
economy for the Government.
From the National Treasury is
drawn annually from 100000 to
$500, 900 to pay rental for inadequate
and ill-adapted buildings in Wash
ington. The Government is an I'M
satisfactory tenant at will. Its meth
DDS make it necessary for landlords
to charge high rates when they rent
to it. 1t will be possible to provide
exactly what the Government worker
needs and ought to have, in lieu of
hopelessly unsatisfactory quarters,
and yet not increase the expense.
The Identification Of the city with a
large number Of public buildings of
the most artistic type will be an in
cidental advantage that will in real
ity represent no cost; and, finally, a
new inspiration will be given to pri-
vate effort and enterprise to make
the general development of the city
harmonic with the purposes indi-
Gated by the national leadership.
Members of the new commission,
interviewed by The Times today, ex-
press themselves in terms that leave
no doubt of their full appreciation of
the task entrusted to them. They
are going to do their work wisely,
carefully, and with full consideration
for the future. 1t is the longest step
toward a proper development of
Washington since the Burnham plan
was given the general Endorsement
that unfortunately has not been
closely enough adhered to in some
operations since it was adopted.

ADMIRAL CAPERToN's WORK

Announcement that Rear Admiral
w. B. Caperton will shortly be
placed in command of the Pacific
fleet, calls attention to a splendid
piece of service rendered by that Of.
fcer in the last two years, that has
been too little appreciated.
In a country whose diplomacy is
largely handled by amateurs, it ia
constantly necessary for naval off.
GERS to exercise a discretion some.
what outside their ordinary duties
and Admiral Caperton, when he was
sent to Haiti year and half ago
confronted an assignment Of this
particular sort. The President OF
that troublesome country had been
assassinated in the French legation
1t was necessary for the United
States to act promptly and vigor-
ously, lest there be European inter
vention.
With the cruiser squadron and a
force Of marines Admiral Caperton
posted himself at Port au Prince
patrolled the coast, and preserved
order until a new President was
elected. After that a treaty was ne
gotiated, giving Washington control
of the Haitian customs and estab-
fishing a constabulary of natives
under American officers. AS result
real order is maintained and the
country is more prosperous than ever
before.
But Santo Domingo could not per-
nit the entire island to be at peace
simultaneously. Its congress im-
peached its President few months
ago, the secretary Of war raised the
standard of revolt, and chaos was on
all hands. Admiral Caperton trans
ferred his headquarters to Santo
Domingo City, used his marines and
vessels to patrol the cities and the
coast, and squelched the trouble
early. The Dominican factions have
now, under this American pressure
agreed to compose their differences
disarm, and restore peace.
A year and half of such strenu-
Gus and responsible work in the
tropics imposes a severe strain on
officers and men alike. Admiral
Caperton has not only done his mill.
tary and naval work magnifcently
but he has had a leading part in
the negotiations that, in both coun.
tries, have restored order; and he
has taken such excellent care of his
men that they have been kept in
excellent health and general condi,
ton.
Command Of the Pacific feet is q
well-earned promotion. It is also
peculiarly appropriate, for the Pa.
cific is an area within which there
may at any time be call for the
services Of a commander with the
tact, discretion, and common sense
that Admiral Caperton has demon.
strated in such large measure.
