Senate has the right of the controversy.
Its position as TO preparedness on the

of the proper size, and at as early a day
as il can be built. So does the Presi-
dent. He has spoken for an incompara
BILE navy; and the country has applauded
the sentiment.
Moreover. the negotiations. just com
pleted, for the purchase of the Danish
West Indies bear upon the point
American control of those islands is dis
tinctly naval question. 1t will
strengthen our control of the Panama
canal, which, as matters are shaping in
the world. is becoming vital to our ex-
istence. Our eyes must be peeled for
danger in both the Atlantic and the
Pacific Our coast line on either ocean
is very long. and our possessions in
each are of great value
We may see also the importance of
the navy in the price named for the
islands. 1t is five times as large as the
highest of previous offers by this coun-
try. Twenty-Five million dollars is
tidy sum for small territory inhabited
by thirty thousand backward people
But the islands lie in the track of our
interests. and will give us harbor of
enormous consequence.
Every new question that arises adds
to the weight of the argument in favor
of a navy fully adequate for the defense
of the large and growing interests Of
this country. The time is ripe. We
have the money in abundance to pay.
Public sentiment has been sounded, and
approves. The paeifst who can see
nothing in preparedness but conspir
acy for advancing militarism and naval
ism, and coming money out of the manu-
facture of war munitions. gives his ease

The Danish West Indies.

If the Senate of the United States had
ratified the Danish West Indies pur-
chase treaty fifty years ago this gov
ernment would have saved $17 800 900 in
the transaction, though getting one less
island than is now proposed for sale to
the United States for $25000000 The
rise from $4,000 to the price now
proposed may be regarded as the nat
ural increase in International real es-
tate in half century. incidentally, it
is interesting to note that if Denmark
had accepted the treaty of 1902. which
the American Senate ratified, but which
the Danish parliament rejected, this
country would have got better bargain
fourteen years ago than it was offered
half century back, getting all three
islands for s5.000.oOO
This increase in the value Of the Dan
ish West Indies is curiously enough the
result largely of the American expendi-
lures at Panama. We have in effect
doomed our own price against ourselves.
The opening of the canal has made all
of these Caribbean islands Of strategic
value, from both commercial and a
military point of view. Denmark has
driven a shrewd bargain on the basis of
our necessities.
High as the price is the United States
should pay it, as it is most desirable
that this country should hold such har-
bors as those afforded by the Danish
West Indies directly on the trade routes
opened anew by the canal construction.
AS naval stations these islands are of
especial value, particularly to the
United States. If they were in the
hands of frst-class naval power they
would be menace. Their acquisition
by the United States is in the direction
of national security, and there should
be no disposition on the part of the
Senate when this treaty is submitted to
question the price. If Denmark can de.
liver ratification the contract should be
closed with no delay. The additional
price should be set down as another
item in the long list of losses due to
procrastination.

The New York Epidemic.

Although several cases of infantile

are all of mild type and up to this
time all have practically recovered. No
deaths have occurred from this cause
in Washington, a fact of great assur-
ance in view of the high percentage
of deaths in the New York epidemic.
Ordinarily about per cent constitutes
the mortality rate from this cause, but
in New York this rate has been quad
rupled. At one time it was % per cent,
and then it fell to a fraction over 10
per cent, and recently has risen until
it is now nearly 81 per cent. There were
up to the close of reports last night
3,098 cases on record in Greater New
York, and 647 deaths had occurred. The

Street Improvement Assessments.

Tho simplest justice is embodied in
the Tinkham bill, just reported to the
House from the District committee,
changing existing law in reference to
the opening and extension Of streets,
avenues, roads and alleys SO as to defer
the payment Of assessments for benefits
until the highways are actually open
for travel. Under the law, at present,
these assessments are due and payable
within sixty days after the verdict of the
jury fixing damages and assessing bene-
fits has been confirmed by the court
The assessments are then as lien upon
the property payable in five annual in
stallments. The Tinkham bill makes
them payable in three installments from
the time the highway is actually
opened.
1t is obvious that there can be no
benefit until the improvement has been
effected. Property that is made more
accessible by street gains no advan-
tage until the street exists To collect
street opening assessments in advance of
the actual opening requires the property
owner to pay for something that he has
not received. 1t has, in fact, happened
under the present system of appropria-
tions, that these assessments have been
fully collected before the work has been
completed, owing to the delay in MAX
in appropriations for street improve
ments after authorizations have been
given for openings and extensions.
In truth, the system Of direct taxes
in the form of benefit assessments for
street openings is not equitable. A
street is public utility for the benefit
of all the community, and should be paid
for out of general funds. The District
has suffered seriously from the system
of street extensions adopted some years
ago and is suffering more severely now
under the Borland law, which adds to
the direct tax Of street opening that Of
