The Aqueduct Bridge Site.

Secretary Baker is now considering
the question of the proper location for
the proposed bridge to replace the
Aqueduct structure. This is to him
new question, as is every other one be-
fore him, and he will be able to see the
matter freshly. He has called for re-
ports and doubtless will give a hearing
on the subject, at which the views and
wishes of those who are directly con
cerned may be presented. This is a
vitality important matter to a large
number of people, as the Aqueduct
bridge is highway of communication
between Georgetown and the Virginia
shore, and a material change from the
present location would seriously affect
that community. Naturally there are
advocates of other positions, especially
those who favor ,thc location Of the
bridge at some point east of Rock creek
This matter has already been thrashed
out before the War Department. under
Secretary Garrison, but with the Cari.n

Recruiting the Twenty Thousand.

1t is stated that ITO recruiting sta
tons. idle for one year, have been re-
opened for the purpose of enlisting the
additional 10000 troops authorized by
the emergency bill which has just
passed Congress, and recruiting is al
ready in progress in the larger cities of
the country. Early reports indicate
that only few presentations have oc-
CURED at the eastern stations. but that
in the west large numbers have APP
peared before the officers. There is in
this something more than the geograhi-
cal difference of temperament. Com
paratively few men are idle IN the
east today Every able bodied man
with any qualification as mechanic
can find employment in the large war
munitions establishments. where for
more than a wear the demand for labor
has been only partly met. To GER
tain extent this condition prevails in
the middle section, but in the regions
west of the Mississippi, where agricul-
ture is the dominant activity, just at this
season there is more idleness. Army re-
cruiting is normally reflex of indus
trial conditions, and were it not for the
stimulus of the Mexican expedition 1t
might be doubted whether it would be
possible to recruit quickly for the regu-
lar service the additional 10000 men
Just provided for by congressional en-
actment The prospect of active service,
may be expected to bring to the
recruiting Offices the necessary number
as rapidly as men can be equipped and
shaped for the ranks.

The Republican Convention.

1t is announced that in few days
the committee designated for the work
will meet in Chicago and begin prepa-
rations for the republican national con-
vention. 1t seems little early, but
maybe it is not too early. There is a
good deal to be done; and the prepare
tons should be complete. That will
be very important and interesting oc
casion. 1t is likely to be largely at
tended. 1t may prove to be the most
spirited meeting of the kind in the
history of the party. In republican
circles the belief is strong that the con-
vention will name the next President of
the United States.
No party has ever faced such sit
uation as the republican party will face
at Chicago in June. While its own
convention is in session, another con-
vention will be in session in the same
town, seeking to influence the action of
the republican body. The bull moosers
will be CONTEMPLATING at a nearby hall,
bordering reports of the proceedings at
the other hall. and striving to shape
those proceedings in the interest of
their leader.
There will be audacity in this; but
your bull mooser is nothing if not au-
dacious From the head of the herd
down, audacity distinguishes the breed.
They know what they want, and do not
stick at asking for it. Their slogan is,
I'VE want Teddy; and knowing that
Teddy's nomination will not be worth a
baubee to him unless Endorsed by the
republicans they are asking for that in
dorsement He is, of course, already
their candidate.
This remarkable situation-full of
peril for the republicans unless ably
handled-will call for the right sort of
man in the chair at the republican meet
ing. He should not only know the
duties of presiding officer, but be of
the spirit to discharge them firmly. 1t
he should become confused or timid at
any time, the convention might get out
of hand; and then chaos. The repub-
licans need the bull moosers, but could
not afford to surrender to them, and
presumably will not. Terms far short
of that should be negotiated.
Because of the extreme difficulties of
the post this time. the man selected to
preside at Chicago should be of the
first class. BY starting well, and secur-
ing the public confidence in its first
step, the party will score heavily.

Sugar.

The House yesterday voted overwhelm-
ingly in favor of continuing sugar on
the dutiabe list after May |. \ mo
ton to extend the duty for only twelve
months was rejected. As the Senate is
expected to ratify this action, and as
the President approves, free sugar. much
discussed three years ago. goes glim
mering.
Those who had voted for free sugar
when the Underwood bill passed the
last House excused their change OF
front by pointing to the war. They
charged it to Buster" The war now
is Buster" Whatever is out of joint,
or oiscouraging, or in any measure en-
barrassing. grows out Of the European
conflict Ii is an i'll war that brings
nobody an excuse for something.
Well. of course, the war has affected
our revenues. and sugar is revenue
producer. At the same time let us not
forget the fact that even if the war had
not come there would have been u con
troversy over sugar. The action of the
resignation to either the sugar pro
ducers or their friends; and the mat
ter, in any event. would have been re-
eopCncd.
y duty on sugar, both cane and beet,
is d"fcnsible on the score of protection
as ,Hll as on that of revenue Our
large as possible. We should produce
as much as possible of what enters 50
largely and generally into American
consumption. Protection, therefore, APP
plies as justly to the sugar industry as
to other industries. IT has not, it is
true. increased the home output as much
as desired: but that is no reason why
all protection should be withdrawn. To
permit the industry, or rather force it,
TO languish and die would be to put
ourselves entirely at the mercy of for
eigp producers.
In the past the cane. sugar growers
have trained with their enemies. In
stead of cooperating in politics with
their friends. they have given support
to the other side. When saved, it has
.been by those whom they had tried to
keep out of power. They helped to
bring in Mr.. Wilson, who threatened
them with destruction.
When the Underwood tariff comes up
for revision, sugar will again figure in
the equation. On which side will the
representatives of sugar constituencies
then be founds On that of protection.
Will they vote for the protection of the
industries OF other sections as they are
ask:ng protection for this industry of
their section! Or will they, as here
toforc. be found in company with those
who would if they could. as a matter of
conviction, deny protection to all in.
