tract, to bid at higher figure for the
service, in order to recoup the loss rep
resented by the shortage in paper col
lections. This means that the people no
longer regard old papers as trash, to be
thrown away for collection by the refuse
service, but look upon this material as
of value. Without reference to the mis-
fortune of the contractor this result is
ment of spirit of thrift that cannot
fail to be helpful.
Whatever is done with the old news
papers, whether they are collected by
the children and sold for the school
funds and Fairgrounds or are turned
over to the official trash collectors, there
will still be sufficient quantity of
refuse to keep the contractors men busy
More thorough collections, stimulated by
the prospect of profits from the sale
of the material. will result. This means
a cleaner. healthier Washington. Now
that the old newspapers are in demand
by the children the refuse collectors
have reason for being more enterpris
ing Washington should in these con
ditions be secured of its refuse every
week. If the contract terms must be
changed to meet the new conditions the
citizens will receive benefit in a gen
eral bctterment of sanitary conditions.

Safe Conduct Refused.

Refusal by Great Britain to grant safe
conduct to Count Tarnowski. the new
Austro Hungarian ambassador to the
United States, raises an awkward ques
ton between the governments of Lon
don and Washington. Ordinarily diplo
matte officers are supposed to have the
right of free passage to and from their
posts of duty at all times of war or
peace. In the present instance it is
practically impossible for ENJOYS of the
central powers to reach the capitals of
any neutral states within whom they
maintain relations save by passing
through "war zones on land or sea
Count Tarnowski on his way to Wash
ington must needs cross hostile cor
facetiously suggested in London. by the
Deutschland, he can only travel to his
post by sufferance of the allied powers
During the civil war England pro-
tested strongly and effectively when two
commissioners from the Confederate
states with credentials to the British
government were taken from the British
steamship Trent by an American naval
officer and brought back to this country
in custody These men had no ambas-
sadorial powers, but they were rated
nevertheless as ENJOYS, and it was con
tended in London that their diplomatic
status was such as to render them i'm
mune from molestation. This protest,
however, was based in large part upon
the fact that they were taken from a
British ship. The United States gov
eminent yielded to the British demand
and the commissioners were released
with apologies. The "Trent affair"
threatening for time to cause breach
between the United States and England
was thus adjusted by an acknowledge
ment of the British claim of immunity
The seizure of Mason and Slidell will
inevitably figure in the discussion of
England's action regarding Count Tar
nowski. Doubtless London has thor
oughly considered this historical prece-
dent before reaching a decision. Evi-
IDENTIFY the refusal is put upon special
grounds. The London dispatch bringing
the news states that the reason for the
refusal may be thus paraphrased: Even
if international law forbade the refusal
of such conduct. the actions of Aus
trian and German embassies and con
sulates abroad have been so much in
excess of regular diplomatic functions
that the British government feels JUS
tilted in Withholding it's consent for such
diplomats to travel to their posts
1t will be necessary to secure the full
explanation of England's refusal and
the particular grounds for departure
from precedent before judging in this
case. The United States will, of course
demand fuller explanation than that
afforded by the news dispatches The eff
feet of this action, if it stands, is to
establish diplomatic intercourse between
the United States and the central pow
ers on the basis of the sufferance of the
allied governments.

The Railroads.

We are hearing good deal about the
railroads. We cannot hear too much.
We know too little The public has
long been thinking of other things.
Much has been said about trusts, and
manufacturing concerns, and mines and
mills. Likewise have the waterways
been much under discussion. and lib
orally provided for by the general gov
eminent. But information about the
railroads, how they are conducted. their
needs, and all the rest of it, is meager.
The country should welcome the pres
emit inquiries and agitation both by rea-
son of the importance of the subject and
the sources of the information being OBJ
tanned. We are hearing from those who
are both interested and informed. They
are not theorists. but practical men of
affairs; and some of them know the
railroad business from top to bottom.
They began at the bottom, and have
reached the top.
While knowledge of the details of
railroading is meager. the public is not
without appreciation of what the rail
roads have done for the country. The
debt is great. 1t is but truism to say
that upon their prosperity rests other
prosperity. Their larger progress means
larger progress on other lines. And.
conversely. their embarrassment means
embarrassments on other lines.
Today. there is small sentiment ex-
pressed in favor of government owner
ship and operation of railroads. The
proposition is staggerin.;: in the matter
of the money necessary to buy, and in
that of converting all operatives into
government employees. As has been sug-
gested. there would be possible in such
an arrangement the creation and ma
nipulation of the most powerful politi-
cal machine ever known
Still, the proposition has its advo-
Gates; and some are men of influence
in the business, and others in the politi-
cal, world. Mr.. Bryan, it will be re-
membered, would have made it an issue
in his presidential campaign of 1908
could he have found a strong second to
his motion. But while he dropped the
subject then. and has not renewed it
since. he has not changed his mind about
it. Presumably, with an opening and
little encouragement, he would reintro-
duce and advocate the proposition.
The congressional committee will go
into that branch of the business it has
in hand, and no other phase of its in
vestigation will be followed with closer
attention. Even those who now oppose
government ownership and operation
are yet DESTROYS of learning how much
may be said in favor of it. and in what
quarters its support resides

A considerable interest is expressed in
propositions to abolish the electoral col

way responsible for the high cost of liv-

the Mexican situation or the war in Eu-

that august body seems trifle unjust
