ence with it will before long result
in its repeal. ...
In general, the District bill this
year is one of the best that Congress
has passed in long time. There is
provision Of about $3,500,000 for
needed improvements, and the Sem
ate provision reducing the price Of
gas to rs cents in the territory Of
the Washington Gas Company is re-
tained.' There has been no good
reason for delay in enactment Of this
provision. The opposition has argued
that no price ought to be fixed by
Congress, pending the Public Utili-
ties Commissions determination Of
a reasonable rate. But Congress has
power to legislate If it chooses: the
Utilities Commissions valuation will
be just as useful for determining the
reasonableness Of rate fixed by
Congress as for sustaining one fixed
by the commission; and the Congress
sional action will hasten the final de-
termination.
Altogether, the city is highly for
tunate in getting out Of the jam so
well as it has done. 81" N D..

BRlNdiNd'BAcK THE GUARD

Twelve regiments Of national
guard troops have been ordered back
from the border without delay. 1t
is noted that the troops that are
ordered North represent the States
In which are located many Of the
most important railway terminal
centers. The inference is that mill
tary dispositions are being arranged
with reference to possible eventuali-
ties in case of railroad strike.
It might be great calamity to
have the industrial disturbances al
most unavoidable incident to strike
inaugurated at a time when the
troops were many hundreds of miles
away from the centers that would
need them. To protect the lives and
property Of the people in the large
cities will be prime duty of the
Government in the event of a crisis;
and there is no time to be lost in
making necessary arrangements. 1t
Is as necessary from the standpoint
Of the men who will perhaps be on
strike. as for anybody else. -
The move now making does not
necessarily reflect any conviction, on
the part Of the authorities, that the
negotiations are going to be fruit
less of effect in preventing the
strike; but it does mean that so far
as possible affairs will be in readi-
ness for graphing with whatever
emergency NAV arise.

STRIKE WOULD HALT
CANAL COAL BOATS
Washington's Supply of Fuel
Threatened as Trains Link
Route to Mines.

In case Of a railroad strike the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal from
Washington to Cumberland. could not
relieve a possible coal famine in
Washington, in the opinion of an ofri-
cial Of the Consolidated Coal Com
pany. which controls the product OF
the Cumberland district.
The capacity OF the canal is 40

amount OF coal transported by II
does not compare with the coal car
ried to Washington by the railroads,
We have been notified" he continued
that a railroad strike would in ali
probability tie up the canal. We can
therefore expect no aid from this
source"
The canal at present brings a consid-
cradle amount OF soft coal to Washing

boats receive their cargoes In turn from
mines sanding their supply to Cumber-
land over a short stretch OF railroad

The official OF the above named com.
pany stated that there Is not enough

ISLANDS WANT TO BE SOLD

The. three most important islands
of the Danish West Indian group
are St. Thomas, st. John, and Santa
Cruz. The legislative authority Of
the two first named recently adopted
resolutions declaring in favor of
transfer of the islands to the United
States. Now comes the colonial coun-
Gil of little Santa Cruz with a like
resolution. 1t declares that ratifica-
ton of the treaty with the United
States is the only proceeding that
can relieve the "intolerabTe and
ruinous" conditions on the islands.
Small wonder that the Danish
islands, which have peen anything
but prosperous for long time, and
which are over-populated, should
wish for annexation to the United
States. They have seen what pros
perity came to Porto Rico following
it's assumption of American allegi-
ance. They have seen Cuba fairly
reeking with prosperity, the result
of a quasi-protectorate by the Unit
ed States, which guaranteed Cuba
certain tariff advantages and COM
paratively stable government. They
have noted chat American super
vision of the fiscal affairs of Santo
Domingo Strengthened out the con-
Germs of the island and Set it on the
way to good times.
The West Indian islands naturally
belong to the United States; ia
maica, which is now British pos
session, along with the rest. Den
mark and Britain ought, by rights,
to recognize this fact and to cede
their islands to Uncle Sam, for the
general benefit of their people. They
will not do that; it isn't being done
nowadays. Denmark would be wise
to let her colonial children go in
peace, but apparently is determined
not to take the step at least until
after general election shall have
given assent. - ----!-----~

THE SILLY PLAYGROUND FEUD

A news item states that Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor of
Fairgrounds, is trying to get pri-
vate owner to donate a playground
in the crowded southwest section for
white children. Nowhere in the city,
perhaps, are Fairgrounds more need
ed than in the southwest, for there
are not even the parks there that are
available for play spaces elsewhere.
Any stranger would be at loss
to know why the municipal play
ground office is not permitted to
take over the school Fairgrounds
and throw them open for children's
use. The school directory gives a
list of equipped Fairgrounds" in
the southwest which includes those
at the S. j. Bowen, Fairbrother,
Grant, and jefferson schools.
These school Fairgrounds are open
only about six weeks each summer,
and then they are provided for out
Of private funds, obtained by various
means. Efforts recently made to
have them available for the use of
the municipal playground office
were not favorably regarded by the
school authorities.
In few cities could a rather petty
quarrel between the Board of Educa-
ton and the city over jurisdiction of
school playground property be per-
mitted to close up valuable space
for a portion of the summer when
It is badly needed for children's
play.

A DISTRICT BILL, AFTER ALI

The long controversy over the
District appropriation bill is as good
as settled, with compromise that
assures that liberal and generally
excellent bill will become law. The
House recedes from its reorganiza-
ton of the fiscal relations between
city and nation, and the half and
half plan of bearing municipal ex-
penses will continue another year
at least.
This is by no means an assurance
that that unfortunate quarrel is
ended. Without doubt it will be very
much in evidence another session of
Congress. Yet the attitude Of the
Senate in favor of continuing the
old relationship has been so deter
mined that there is at least room
for hope that the feud will be less
bitter. Probably the time must
come when reorganization of this
partnership will be necessary; partly
because of the growth and develop
ment of the city, partly because of
the determined prejudice that has
been created against the present
system. If it must come, it should
be directed by men whose motives
will not be hostile to the city's real
interests. A liberal disposition on
the part of Congress would measur,
ably insure the city's future, under
whatever system. The menace has
lain in the fact that so many of the
people who have wanted what they
called reform, have seemed actuated
by purposes of furnishing this town
for imagined offenses; offenses
which, of course, it couldn't pos,
sibly have committed simply because
it has no power over its own gov
eminent and management.
The half-and-half arrangement il
to be continued for the time being
and the Senate's provision for ia,
on intangible property becomes law
1t is at least regrettable that a tax
alton method that has been discarded
in all the most intelligent taxation
practice should thus tardily b.
adopted FOR this community; but i
may fairly be expected that expert
