covered that certain too thrifty con-
Germs right in New York were ship
ping war supplies to the Bahama
ports, which presently turned up in
Confederate hands. There was no
timorousness about the methods
adopted. The traffic was stopped.
Our right TO determine with whom
American subjects should trade was
not questioned then, even by Great
Britain; yet in certain Of these
cases the goods were destined To
British citizens, who assumed, in
neutral markets, the responsibility
for forwarding them to the Confed-
crate territory. The cases are SO
nearly parallel that no particular
stretch d reasoning is required to
make a precedent in favor Of the
present British position.
Everything that the allied nations
will concede to us as a matter OF
comfy should be secured for the
freedom Of American trade. But
the establishment of rules which
might bind us in future to most en-
barrassing views, would be extreme
ly unfortunate.

against the officers of the institu-

Nearly two years ago The Times
brought to light some conditions at
the National Training School which
the Judiciary Committee Of the
House deemed worthy of ar inveati-
cation. Headed by its chairman OF
that time, Congressman Broussard
Of Louisiana, the committee made
several visits to the institution.
But shortly after that Congress
adjourned and the complete findings
of the committee were never brought

THE CASE or MR.. BoRLAND

That little minority Of members
Of Congress who find their greatest
winter sport in nsgging the Capital
have a lesson coming to them in the
returns Of the Fifth Congressional
District in Missouri.
William Patterson Borland, the
man who proposed longer working
day for Government employees, who
pushed through the measure assess
ing the cost Of street improvements
upon owners Of abutting property,
and who has tried to foist other
inimical legislation affecting the
District upon Congress, comes back.
But he is returned by a greatly re-
duced majority.
Evidently Missouri is not under
the impression that the National
Capital is due for setback at the
hands of Congress. Missouri is a
progressive State, and it is not
likely that Missourians lack a pride
in their Capital-a pride which is
permeating most sections Of the
country. ......
Congressman Borland, apparently,
has learned his lesson. Other legis-
lators should profit by it.

UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS ONCE
MORE

A petition fled with the Public
Utilities Commission today demands
in behalf of the Federation OF Citi-
zens' Association that the universal
transfer law of 1894 be enforced.
That law requires free reciprocal
TRANSFERS. to be exchanged by all
street railways then or thereafter
to be operated in the District.
The one weakness Of this law was
that it contained no penalty clause.
For this weakness, it has not been
forced to judicial Interpretation on
the question of confiscatofy char
acter. Many years ago, however,
one railroad corporation, when asked
to permit another to run cars over
a section Of it's tracks, replied in
court by pleading the universal
transfer act, and indicated its will
ingness to give and take transfers.
II is now believed that a method
of enforcing the penalties has been
provided. The Public Utilities act
gives the commission power to en-
force all laws governing the util-
itiesy and this includes general
power to impose fines for disobedi-
ence Of the commissions orders. So,
IL an order for universal transfers
be issued and ignored, the commits
sion would seem to have general au-
thority to impose penalties.
There is no doubt that the law
means universal transfers; no doubt
that the companies can afford to give
them far better now than when the
law passed. Universal transfers
will be secured, if the Public Utili-
ties Commission will 60 ahead and
insist on using all its powers. All 1t
needs is a little initiative and the
backbone to make a real fight.

BRITAIN ON TRADE INTERFERE
ENCES

The British governments latest
note to-Washington, on the subject
Of interference with neutral trade
with both belligerents and neutrals,
Is just about what was to be ex-
pected, The United States naturally
and properly is concerned to insure
to its people the widest and freest
possible rights of trade during both
war and peace. But it is perfectly
possible that this Government might
commit itself to certain views that
would be most unfortunate for it at
some future time when it shall be
engaged in war.
Excepting only Great Britain, no
power has SO much interest in main
tanning the right of belligerent to
employ the blockade, the authority
to establish and enforce rules
against contraband, the privilege of
cutting off both direct and indirect
commerce with an enemy country.
The United States has within a very
recent period even gone SC far as to
attempt Introduction of traffic in war
supplies, with country that was
not even at war with us. This coun-
try's obligations as the supporter
Of the Monroe doctrine may bring it
into complications, in which the
right to blockade a neutral, and
limit its commerce., will be of the
greatest Importance.
Suppose Mexico and the United
States were at war. Our navy would
not have the least difficulty effective
ly blockading Mexico. The block.
ade would be our most effective
weapon. 1t would, indeed, in case OF
war with any country on this con.
tinent. But if, after blockading
Mexico, the United States were
barred from extending that block.
ade to a strict control of Mexican
commerce through Guatemala, il
might turn out that we had gained
absolutely nothing; Mexico could i'm.
port necessaries Of war, and ship Out
its own products to pay for them
through the ports of Guatemala, anC
there would be 20 excuse for our OBJ
lection if, now, we shall enforce the
rule that we cannot be restricted il
trade with Norway, Sweden, Den
mark and Holland. During the civil
war, as the British note recalls, tn,
Washington authorities interferet
most vigorously with trade to thu
Bahamas and Havana, though thos,
were neutral territories.
Again, the blacklist. Britain pro
tests that she has the unquestionabl'
right to impose such conditions OF
the trade Of British citizenA IN On
