Of the Department Of Commerce and the
Department Of Justice, as specified in
the act, the change to the west side Of

ment will be most satisfactory and de-
sirable. Notwithstanding the heavy de-
mand for funds for the prosecution Of
the war the process Of providing this
greatly needed home for the premier de-
partment Of the government should be
promptly started. It is now an unwel-
come co-tenant in the triple-department

ed in most undigniied manner, spread
out beyond the walls to rented spaces
beyond, until it is aeutely suffering in
its service. A building such as the COM
mission recommends will give space for
not only the Departmental activities but
for other phases Of international work,
for the meetings Of joint commissions
and for the various activities which are
already numerous and will after the war
become even more so, in view Of the ex-
tended influence Of the United States in
world affairs.

Canada Endorses CONSUMPTION.

Canada's emphatic reputation Of the
plea that CONSUMPTION should be re-
ferred to popular vote should discour-
age those who contend that our Congress
should not have passed the selective
draft law without specific mandate
from the people. The issues are the
same. Canada went to CONSUMPTION just
as the United States went to selective
draft. The only difference was in the
form of the procedure provided for en-
rolling an army Of citizens regardless
of individual election to serve. In Can
ada the opportunity for the people to
pass upon this decision Of the govern
ment has come ahead Of the opportunity
in the United States, but there can be
no doubt in the American mind as to
the result of referendum here, If one
had been had directly upon this ques-
ton, or Of an election with the seIective
draft as factor. The country has al
ready fully Endorsed the course of Con-
gress in departing from the volunteer
system. No party that undertakes to
make an issue Of the seIective draft law
can hope to muster even its normal
strength unless it is minor party at
tracing disloyal elements into single
group Of professionals.

Of the rank and file have been hoping
for wide open town again-carda,
booze and "pickings" Of many kinds.
The mayor-elect, however, has put .
damper on all such expectations. He
declares that New York shall be orderly;
that neither the FOUNDERS nor the sport
ing fraternity shall enjoy any privi-
ieges; that all citizens must obey the
laws; that economy shall be practiced
in the support Of the city government.
In word, he pledges his best endeayors
to serve the community well and truly.
IF he succeeds he will deserve and re-
ceive considerable praise.
The New York democracy is today
without state leader measuring up to
former standards. In the last decade it
has had some hard shedding. Gov. Dix
did not score in Office. Gov Suffers
fate was humiliating to him and his
party. Gov. Glynn was so overwhelm-
ingly defeated in his effort to save
something for the party out of the
Sulzer wreck he is hardly to be counted
in the present equation. John Purroy
Mitchell, for time at least, is done for.
Now, If tho new man scores in the
city hall, gives the town clean govern
ment out Of the material he has to work
with, tames the tiger, and refutes the
assertion that nothing good can come
out of Tammany, he will attract wide
attention and receive applause. That
undoubtedly will be performance Of
far more than local note, and be likely
to land its author in the good graces of
many democrats of the right kind at
home and elsewhere.

a STATE Department Building

Under the plan Of the public buildings
commission, just submitted to Congress,
an important departure from the al
ready adopted scheme for the location
Of the Department Of State is to be
noted. Instead Of placing that structure
as proposed on the so-called "five-square
site" east Of the White Lot, it is to 20, &C.
cordtng to this new scheme, on the west
side Of Lafayette Square, occupying the
entire block. This is in some respects
superior site, especially as it has been
clearly shown that there would not be
room Aon the "ive-square sites in the
Mall-Avenue triangle for all three Of
the public buildings originally desig-
mated for that space. Indeed, at one
time Il was proposed to locats the State
Department home on the Nall itself,

Sloppy Streets.

qusnce Of neglect. 1t is familiar com
bination. The snow fell and while soft

Foundation more snow fell and the clean

But there should have been an instant
readiness to take advantage Of tho first
thav, to scoop up the slush, or at least
to clean out the cutters. Instead of
which some one waited for the sun to
Do the work, waited bit too long and
tho cutters became flooded and the
crossings impossible. Yesterday Wash

bit q little better. Il is sad to see the
street cleaning service break down in
sush emergencies. Even little gutter

The Gas Rate Hearings.

Assuredly the slim attendance of citi-
zens at the hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission on the application
of the Washington Gas Light Company
for an increase of rates does not indicate
Indifference on the part Of the consumers,
They are, in fact, very much concerned
in the matter. They look with dismay
at the prospect of As per cent increase
in the price of necessity, but they are
not crowding the rooms of the commits
sion at the hearings, because they do not
feel it to be necessary to attend in order
to assure just decision.
The gas company has presented a
business proposition to the commission.
Gas, it says, costs more to make than
heretofore. It cites the figures of cost
and claims that to sell gas at the pres
emit price Of rs cents thousand feet
means the loss Of money. The question
before the commission is whether or not
this is true, whether the commodities
required for the making Of gas cost as
quoted, whether labor has risen in price,
whether, in short, gas can be made at a
profit under the present rates.
There is in the primary question be-
fore the commission no consideration of
the valuation Of the gas company's
properties. It is just matter of cost
and price. Can gas be made at the pres
ent rate Of materials and labor and sold
for rs cents at profit If so, what
profit Then comes the question Of
valuation. What is reasonable profit
And is the profit to be reckoned on the
gas company's own computation of the
investment or on the commissioner
All these are technical questions which
the public at large is not competent to
consider. Therefore, the sole reason for
personal attendance at the hearings is
curiosity. It is well enough for the peo-
pie to manifest sufficient interest in such
matters to be present at the proceedings,
but the great majority Of the gas con-
sumers are hard at work earning the
money to pay for the gas they consume
and must leave this research into the
company's finances to those officials who
have been particularly designated by
law for that purpose. Upon their de-
cision the public is willing to rest.

Secretary Daniels to Congress.

Speaking about the war problems of
the Navy Department, Secretary Dan
iels said to the House investigating COM
mittee yesterday:
aTo the best solution of these prob
lens we hope to have suggestions and
help from this committee and from
Congress. We do not claim that we
have done everything in the best pos
sible way or that we have made no mis-
takes. In some things creditable speed
has been achieved; in all things there
has been teamwork in the department
and in the entire service to have things
well done and thoroughly done.s
This is the proper conception of the
matter, and worthy the attention of all
the departments of the government. No
department is infallible, none sacro-
sanct. All, of course, have the country's
good at heart and in mind. But sug-
gestions from outside sourees-from the
country at large as well as from Con-
gress-should be welcomed, and duly
weighed. Criticism is not to be inter
preted as hostility. On the contrary, it
may embody the friendliest Of feelings
tho strongest desire to help.
It is to be remembered, too, that not
few educated sailors and soldiers are
now in civil ofice-some in private life
mem with the best of Annapolis or West
Point in them, but giving their time to
other pursuits. From them suggestions
Of value as respects war preparations
and operations may well be expected;
and when received they should be hos
pitably entertained. If Of value, they
should be adopted
II % likewise true that in all walks
Of LIE, business, professional and agri-
cultural, widely informed men in their
respective callings are meditating on the
var and its conduct, and developing
idsas ON the subject. From them the
Treasury Department, the Commerce
Dspextment, the Labor Department, the
Agricultural Department and the De-
paxtment Of Justice should welcome as
sistxnce. As everything Is being drawn
