The records Of Washington show that
government regulation Of these public
service corporations at the capital has
not been failure and should not be
abandoned In response to The Stars
campaign against overhead wires and
especially its fight against the overhead
trolley for urban use Congress bafaed
the overhead trolley syndicate's desper-
ate efforts to get the capital into its
clutches, and on the strength Of The
Stars representations concerning the
underground trolley in Budapest it in
effect compelled the use Of that system
in Washington, with the result that it
is now in successful operation through
out practically the entire urban area.
Our street railways have developed
from projecting, Woodworking T
rails to grooved rails; from horses to
underground electric motive power of
the Budapest type with improvements,
without passing through the interme-
date stage of use of the ugly and dan
gerous overhead trolley in the urban
section; from division into many weak
and impoverished lines to consolidation
into two great systems; from go-as-you-
please management Of tramways by
Congress with unlimited free fran
chises for the asking to appreciation by
both public and railroad that these fran
chises represent substantial grants by
the public of valuable privileges for
which consideration must be rendered
to the public either directly or indirect
ly in cheaper fares and improved serv-
ice; from almost unchecked control by
private interests of these important
semi public functions to stringent whole
some regulation by the people. first
through the national Interstate Com
merce Commission and now through an
Independent local utilities commission
with large powers, which, if necessary
in the public interest, may be still
further enlarged.
The special conditions in Washing
toms case instead of compelling resort
to municipal ownership declare against
it. 1t is demonstrated to be unnecessary.
1t is premature not only because it
should await the test of government reg
ulation by commission, but because the
time has not yet arrived in Washington
when municipal ownership here will
mean control of public utilities by the
people of the community.

The republicans seem reasonably as
sured Of victory. In Gov. Mccall they
have candidate Of exceptional strength,
and all are working together for his cleo
| ton. In Office he has fulfilled promise,
and there is still work for such . man
to do. The democrats, though with a
good man at their head, appear languid,
and in a what's-the-use mood.
Senator Weeks presided over the re-
publican convention, and made an ex-
cellent speech Naturally, and very
properly, and very effectively, he dis
coursed Of politics, and pointed out that
the war had not banished the subject.
He said on that point: u
"There is no patriotic reason why the
republicans should not make every L.
climate effort to gain control of Con
gress next year. Political division in
time of war does not mean patriotic di-
vision: it simply means balance and
control. There is no difference in the
final aim of democrat or republican, but
very often. if not in the majority of
cases, there is difference Of opinion as
to the best means to attain that aim"
There is no gainsaying this. It is true
to the letter; and we shall see made the
effort the senator predicts. There is
every indication today Of "a halcyon
and vociferous time" next year, with the
republicans and the democrats contend
ing for House and Senate seats, and the
nationals striving to secure the balance
of power in the House.
As the Bay state has profted so long
and so much from protection, so astute
a Garty leader as Mr.. Weeks found the
topic pat to his tongue. This was well
said:
"We cannot forget that the war has
already completely demonstrated the
soundness Of the protective policy, that
Germany as a result of that policy has
been able to maintain herself during the
long period of the war completely sur
rounded by embargoes and blockades."
And the senator might have added,
what is easily demonstrate, that in the
mobilization of our industries for the
war the effects of the protective policy
achieved in America show conspieuously.
The long application of it in our eco
nomic system has built us up in many
lines of production until we are now
able in this period of storm and stress
to throw ourselves into the struggle with
strength we had lacked under as long
an application Of the policy of free
trade. A genuinely protective tariff is
certainty after this war closes.

Washington After the War.

Many changes wrought in Washing
ton by the war are obvious. Principal
among these is the increase in popula-
ton marked by the sea Of new faces in
the streets The net increase in the
number of persons working for the gov
eminent is large, while the total of the
changes in the governments Washing
ton force is very much greater than the
net increase. 1t has been computed that
1900 men and women have been added
to the government pay roll in Wash
ington since the beginning of the war,
and that as many of the former en-
ployes have gone into other positions,
their places being filed by new ap-
pointees.
The hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses help to tell the story of the ex-
pansion in population. Many "For rent"
signs have come down in that part of
the city away from which the normal
population seemed to be tending in its
outmoving toward the east, north, west
and south. Older apartment houses are
full and new apartment houses, of which
there are many and some Of great size
are filled before the workmen have gath
cred up their tools and moved on to
other jobs. The local manufacturing
plants throb with industry, the shops
swarm with patrons, and the Office build
ings hum with activity. All manner of
buildings have been taken over by the
government to provide Office space for
the new branches Of the government and
the old branches that have been e1-
tended, and temporary buildings are 60
ing up in haste to relieve the pressure.
When peace returns the Washington
Of the postwar period will be a greater
city than the pre-war Washington. There
will be some shrinkage Of activity at
first, but the capital will not be as it
was before the war. There Will be a
large increase of government building at
the capital. for two reasons: First, be-
cause the demands Of the government
will be greater, and, second, because the
government administration, having
learned some lessons, will not get back
to the narrower lines on which it trans
acted its affairs before the necessity for
expansion came upon it.
One of the postwar changes viii prob
ably be building 2-agram which will
bring the office facilities of the govern
ment up to its needs and once having
brought its equipment level with its
wants the disposition will be strong to
keep it there.
Washington during the civil war took
on some of the aspects of boom town,
but when the war passed Washington
did not slump. 1t never went back to
its ante-bellum status. The impetus of
the war carried it to higher levels. Am
bilious populations, like ambitious in
dividuals. strive always to go forward
and rarely go backward. Retrogression
lis thought that would give them pain,
| even though they should take time to
| entertain such thought. The United
! States will be bigger, more indus
trous and moro efficient United States
after the war than before, and these
changes will be manifest at its center.
The governmental center of the United
States is Washington.
