Treating and Politics.

In the fight for prohibition treating
is listed as one of the great evils of the
drink traffic. And it is. Where two or
three, or more, are gathered together
with stems or glasses in hand, the in
dulgences are materially increased by
the recognized rule that first one and
then another of the company must "set
'em up" All obey the rule, and the rule
is apt to reduce the obedient to help
lessneSs
In political campaigns treating has
played very influential part. A can.
didate runs no risk in Offering such "hos.
pitality." Nobody is ever offended. An
invitation bears no sort of relation to
bribery. "Have one with me" is a DO.
likeness. If the person addressed is an
abstainer, he can decline pleasantly
and no harm is done on either side. II
it is his custom to wet his whistle, he
does so with the proper appreciation OF
the courtesy extended, and probably
with an improved opinion of the man
who pays for the "dew."
The best treating stories, as maybe the
best table Whistles, come from Ken
lucky. He was popular young man

The House Stands Pat.

Yesterdays action by the House of
Representatives ON the legislative bill
regarding clerks salaries insures that
the matter, involving a difference be-
tween the two houses as to the amount
of advance, will be considered in con-
ference. This was fully expected, but it is
none the less gratifying to see the House
so promptly and emphatically stand by
its original enactment, which by a sim
gular reversal of conditions is the more
liberal of the two provisions. The pro-
motion scale adopted by the House was
in itself none too high in view of the
present conditions affecting the govern
ment clerks, and the length of time that
has elapsed since the department salary
scale was last adjusted, and in justice
the House item should be insisted upon
by the representatives of that body in
conference and finally enacted as it
stands without compromise or recession.

America on the Water.

Representative Farr of Pennsylvania,
at banquet in this town last night,
spoke for 'the strongest Pacific fleet and
the second strongest Atlantic feet in
the world" Why not tile strongest feet
in both oceans7 Why should America
be second on the water anywheres What
country has longer seacoast, or richer
possessions, to defends Why should we
not be able to take care of ourselves
IN any and all emergencies7 What
country has shown better ability to han
die herself afloat according to the size
of equipments What names in our ma
tioral annals are brighter than those of
our seafghters, from John Paul Jones
to George Deweyf
When the scales of paeifcism fell
from the Presidents eyes, and he saw
for the first time the pressing necessity
of preparedness, he spoke for an "in-
comparable" navy. The deliverance
electrified the country, and the adjec-
tive emphasized the deliverance. He
was applauded in all but the millennial-
istic circles.
From that time the Presidents party
began adjusting itself to its leaders pre-
paredness views. The other party need
ed no nudging. 1t was already headed
in the right direction. And much prog
ress has been made. This Congress has
responded nobly. Liberal provisions
have been made for the navy in the
spirit of the Presidents appeal The
increase ordered is on lines traced by
our naval authorities in the light of the
lessons taught by the great war. We
are getting ready as rapidly as may be
for a duty so very plain, blind man
ought to be able to see it.
That duty, of course, is to defend our
selves against all Corners And no man
may say who may come, or when. The
present war will not prove to be the
last. On the contrary, seeds have been
sown and are still being sowed which
IN time are bound to produce other wars.
How long after the present struggle is
over the nations will pause over the
horrors they have encountered is a
guess. But it will be only pause New
alignments will bring new rivalries, and
new rivalries new embarrassments, and
in time there will be war again.
As nation we are very much in the
world now. Today we are a hundred
millions strong( prosperous beyond prec-
edent or dream, and the possessors of
an empire capable of unrivaled pro-
ductivity. In way. the two great
oceans protect US. But we must aid the
oceans. We must add to their protec-
tion by making ourselves "incompara-
bly," strong on their bosoms. Then, and
not until then, shall we be safe.

The Americans in Germany.

Conflicting reports have come from
Berlin regarding the intentions of the
German government as to the granting
OF passports and safe conduct over the
borders to Ambassador Gerard and the
official and unofficial Americans who de-
sire to leave that country. 1t has been
stated that they were being held virtual
ly as hostages for the security of Count
Won Bernstorff and his colleagues of the
German embassy, which, however, seem
ed totally unreasonable in view of the
prompt assurances given the retiring
German ambassador that he would be
safeguarded out of the United States
with such facilities as he desired. The
most remarkable suggestion has come in
dispatch to the effect that the Ameri-
can party will be held as hostages, not
merely for the German officials in
America, but for all the crews of the
German ships informed here. This would
be altogether unheard of, and could not
be agreed to by the United States. In
sense the crews of the German ves-
sells here informed are in a position sim
liar to the American citizens in Ger
many, and are as much entitled to a
safe conduct as far as the United States
is concerned as are the private citizens
of this country in German territory. But
there is this difference: The German
sailors here interned are potential mem
bers of the German fighting force, and
it is unlikely that any assurance could
be given Germany that England and
France would consent to their departure
| under American guarantee for their own
| country. Americans coming out of Ger.
many are in no wise inimical to the in
terests Of the allied powers, while un-
| official Germans going eastward from

Intangihles Tax Law Amendment.

Senator Sterling, author of the in
tangibles tax law, has rendered valu-
able service to the District in pushing
vigorously his proposed amendment to
that law now on the books and soon to
be enforced, if not postponed by action
Of Congress. His proposal for a change
in the law is gratifying indication of
a disposition to make the law more equi-
table and less onerous in its application.
While much is to be done to render the
| whole local tax system equitable, Sena-
tor Sterling's amendment is most help
full in its reduction of the tax rate, and
in modification of the law in its ap-
plication to certain classes Of possible
taxpayers, whose payments under this
law would clearly involve double taxa
ton.
The final shaping of the intangibles
tax law, as we'll as the equitable readjust-
ment of the entire tax system, including
the intangibles tax, is to be determined
by the joint congressional committee
which has been created by act of Con-
gress. 1t is evident that the necessary
notifications of the intangibles law, if
accomplished at this session, must be
effected through an amendment attached
to the District appropriation bill in the
Senate. Its full and rounded amend
ment and the equitable readjustment of
the whole tax system clearly cannot be
accomplished in this way, and at this
time.
Since the tax law will not be in the
equitable shape intended by Congress
until after the consideration of the sub
ject and report by the joint congress
sional committee, the equity is clear of
Washington's suggestion that the date
on which that law shall go into effect
should be postponed until the joint com
mittee has held its hearings and made
its report and the proper legislation has
been enacted in pursuance of this re-
port. Clearly, the new law should not
go into effect until it has been put into
the equitable shape which Congress de-
signed, and until the establishments
which equity demands and which Con-
gress created the joint committee to
bring about have been made.

Washington's DEVELOPMENT.

Last nights meeting at the Central
High School, under the auspices of the
Fine Arts Society, developed the fact
that comprehensive plans are in hand
for the improvement of Washington that
will make the city both more beautiful
and more sanitary. This is not news to
the people of Washington, but it is well
to have the plans so clearly and impress
sively expounded as was done last night
by Col. Harris, superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds, whose illustrated
lecture was the principal feature Of the
meeting
A disposition prevails in Congress to-
day more than ever before to advance
the artistic side of the National Capital,
and but for the present financial strin-
gency, made more serious by the ex-
traordinary demand upon the Treasury
occasioned by the possibility Of war,
doubtless these plans would be now in
the way Of practical execution. But the
program of improvement is long one
and its development will be matter
of years. Not everything can be done
at once. The vitality important object
of the immediate work is to coordinate
these projects and to insure the devel-
opment of the city along consistent
lines
The enthusiasm with which Col Harris
has administered his office is an in
SEPARATION to the people of Washington
He has recognized the possibilities here
afforded for capital making, and has put
forward projects of great practical value
in manner to impress Congress deeply

advance this cause by providing for a

Washington an opportunity to know
what is contemplated to bring the CAPT

The Americans Will Fight.

From the Montreal Star.
1t is too soon yet to discuss what the
Americans will do if and when they
go to war. But 1t is nonsense to talk
as if they could stand aside and let us
do the fighting. They would be the last
people in the world to submit to such
a situation. Once the die is cast and
Old Glory takes its place with the
flags of Christendom against the Hun
and the Turk. there will be thousands
hundreds of thousands-of ardent souls
across the border who will insist on
taking their place in the forefront of
the battle. Time for preparation will
be required; but the only thing which
can then save the Germans from cross
ing bayonets with the Americans will
be quick and complete capitulation in
the comparatively near future
