change Of policy. Not one thing, but .
number Of things will be done if the
republicans come in; and they will have
to do with domestic as well as foreign
affairs.
One Of the "big four" to the Chicago
convention is a former bull mooser.
But he goes as republican, is instruct
ed with his associates for Mr.. Fairbanks,
and there is no question as to his sim
cerity. His selection is thought to mark
workable reunion of the republicans
and the bull moosers in the state; and
if there is full warrant for that inter
probation, and the republicans appear
in the campaign in their old form, a
lively debate will take place this year
on the banks Of the Wabash.

The Virginia Railway Trouble.

Unfortunately the District Commits
sioners, either as municipal executives
or as the public utility commission, have
no jurisdiction over the electric railway
lines operating in Virginia, so that they
are estopped from intervening in the
present difficulties between the COM
panies and their workers, which threaten
to tie up the suburban lines in strike.
The Commissioners have jurisdiction
over those portions of the lines which
are operated in the District, but these
constitute but small percentage of the
systems. An effective strike on one of
the Virginia lines would tie up con-
siderable mileage and affect great
number Of people.
This case demands attention by the
Virginia state public service commits
sion. The situation is not unlike that
which recently existed in the District,
and it should be susceptible of the same
adjustment. The men are demanding
the right to organize, which the COM
panies refuse to grant. 1t is reported
that carmen have been discharged upon
declaring membership in the union. The
demands of the workers for better pay
and shorter hours have been rejected.
Thus the issue is dual, one of organi-
cation and one of working conditions.
As in the local case this is an arbi-
trable condition. The public welfare de-
mands continuous service on all the
lines. More especially is it necessary
to continue the operations of the ears
in the outlying sections than in the city
itself, for the distances are such that
walking is impossible. The people whom
these ears serve, many of them working
in this city while living several miles
distant, should not be left stranded
without transportation facilities simply
because the companies cannot reach a
working agreement with their men.

The Indiana Republicans.

4 significant thing-maybe the most
significant thing-connected with the
action at Indianapolis yesterday was
the appeal as to principles. The enthu-
siastic Endorsement Of Mr.. Fairbanks for
President had been forecast. Every
body expected it. Nothing less was pos
sible. Naturally, the acknowledged
leader of his party in the state-the
man who had done most to insure the
party its power in the state, exercised
during the greater portion of the past
twenty years-was entitled to the ex-
preston given. His name will be among
the highly honored at Chicago.
Let us look at the platform. A pro.
teetive tariff at the earliest possible date
is demanded. Indiana has been pro.
crossing rapidly as a manufacturing
state. and has benefited greatly from
the policy Of protection. So the repub.
lieans want a return to it.
They want q merchant marine, but
privately owned. They challenge the
President on his proposition to put the
government into the sea carrying bust
ness. No departure in the direction OF
state socialism for them.
They want preparedness adequate tt
the assertion of all American rights OF
land or sea. The expression is entirely
devoid of what the opponents of pre-
paredness denominate and denounce a,
jingoism. There is nothing "scrappy'
about it.
They are opposed to scuttle as ap
piled TO the Philippines. They wan
this country to fulfil the obligationl
incurred when the islands were take,
over as American territory.
Here is an indictment with speci6ca
tions. No one count Is particularly EN-
phasized. Mr.. Fairbanks 10 not recon

The Coast and Geodetic SURVEY.

The celebration of the centenary of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey directs
attention to comparatively little
known branch of the national govern
ment which has done work of immeas-
urable value during 100 years. It is i'm
possible to estimate the worth of this
service to practically every class of the
American people during the century Of
its existence. In the charting of the
waterways of this country and the
coastal lines the survey has facilitated
navigation and quickened communica-
ton while lessening the dangers incl
dent to water transport. In other lines
its researches have gone far to develop
natural resources. As the program Of
the centennial celebration attests, prac-
tically every other branch of the gov
eminent owes much to the coast survey.
This most excellent record covering
a century of quiet, undemonstrative, eff
fcient work has been made possible by
specialization. This survey has been
immune from political influences, and
has had the services of men of excep-
| tional attainments. The purely scien-
tifc spirit has animated it, and as a
result its achievements have been of a
high order and of great value. This is
true in all Of the governmental technical
bureaus.
During recent years the needs of this
bureau have been more definitely recog-
nized by Congress in the making of ap-
preparations, but it could proftably
have been given more abundant sup
port for its development. The acquisition
Of insular territories few years ago
greatly widened the scope Of its activi-
ties. In the Philippines particularly the
coast survey had large task in the
chartiAg Of the waters Of the archi.
pelago, which had previously been only
vaguely surveyed by the spaniards.
Considering the insufficient equipment
Of the bureau the thoroughness Of this
work was remarkable.

Chicago and St. Louis.

Far from regretting it, the republi-
cans should rejoice in the division of
sentiment in the party as to leadership
It shows wide and deep interest, and
calls for sober and thorough negotiation
in the settling. The Chicago conven-
ton will be all the more largely at
tended because of it; and at such a time
everybody desiring to be heard should
be heard.
1t will be a good thing, too, if the
| names of all the candidates for the
nomination now under discussion are
presented to the convention. The pres
entation speeches will be Illuminating
The convention and the country will
learn just how each favorite son is re-
garded by those who know him best.
These men, it is true, are we'll known
now from long public service, but sum-
mings-up by competent supporters will
leave nothing about them undeveloped
or obscure.
It Is most important that the repub-
licans name their strongest man, and
do so in a way to leave no room for
criticism of the procedure. They should
inspect the entrants with care, and
make their choice fairly and in the
open. So deliberately should they pro-
coed that when all is over no excuse for
boiling will hold.
At st. Louis Mr.. Wilson will be with
out competitor. But this does not
mean that all who shout for him there
will be equally attached to him, or equal
" confident of his reelection. 1t means
simply that he is absolutely essential
to his party for campaign purposes.
After the convention strong appeal
will be addressed to the lukewarm to
yet in behind the candidate. This will
be made in the name of the party.
Everybody must accept the situation,
and do his best.
As the campaign progresses, partisan
ship, as usual, may be expected to show
itself in old-fashioned colors. The
war has wrought some changes among
us, but few, if any, touching domestic
contentious of long standing. As rule,
republicans are still republicans and
democrats democrats; and when the
press and the stump begin to respond
with the cid cries, the crowds will re-
ply with the old spirit, and there will
be something doing every minute.

Our Work in Mexico Not Finished.

1t is reported from Ell Paso that Gen.
Obregon, Carranza's minister of war,
has expressed the opinion that Villa has
been completely crushed in the Chi
huahua campaign, and that the work of
the American punitive expedition in
Mexico has been virtually completed.
The deduction from this is that in Gen.
Obregon's opinion the United States
should withdraw its forces. This, of
course, is not to be done. Secretary
Lansing has specifically denied reports
that the American troops are to be with
drawn from Mexico as long as Villa is
at large. It is true that Villa has been
driven far from the American border
and his forces have been somewhat scat
tered. Possibly it is also true that Villa
has himself been wounded and is in a
helpless condition. But as long as Villa
lives and is at large the American ex-
petition must continue its work. Car
rama was unable to check Villa when
he was in an equally bad plight before
the raid upon Columbus, and there is
no reason to believe that the de facto
government is better qualified today to
deal with him than it was then. To
abandon the pursuit because of the dis
lance to which Villa has been driven
from the border would be an invitation
to him to rally his forces and return to
the frontier for further raids and depre-
dations.
There should be no disposition on
the part of the Carranza government to
show impotence with the pursuit of
Villa by American forces. It has ac-
complished in less than month what
the de facto government armies have
not been able to achieve in many
months. 1t has done this under serious
handicaps, imposed upon it by Mexico,
and it has avoided all possibility of frie-
tion with the people. A disposition to
cooperate by facilitating the expedition
with better transport service through
the use of the railways should have been
manifested at once when the guarantees
were given by this government that the
Mexican rights and the territorial in
tegrity Of the republic would be re-
spected.
So far as the reports have come from
the American commanders in Mexico
there has been little or no cooperation
by the Carranzista forces in the &C.
tual pursuit of Villa Apparently he has
fled southwark without check or hin
drance from the Carranza men. Had
the Mexican government been alert it
might have thrown force across Villas
path before the American column had
driven him into the mountain region,
where he is now and where the pursuit
is attended by serious difficulties. In
these circumstances the intimation of
Gen. Oregon that the American work
in Mexico is finished is in questionable
taste.
