tectionist he was, and had always been.
He had seen the country develop and
grow rich under tho policy of protec-
ton, and he wanted the policy in essen
tials continued. But realizing that It
could be modified in certain particulars
to the country's advantage he declared
for such q step In what proved to be
his last address to the public.
On that fateful day at Buffalo he said:
sThe period Of e1clusiveness Is past.
The expansion Of our trade and COM
merce Is the pressing problem Com
mercial wars arc improbable. A pol
icy Of good will and friendly trade re-
lations will prevent reprisals. Reel
procity treaties are in harmony with the
spirit Of tho times; measures Of retalia-
tion are not. We must encourage our
merchant marine. We must have more
ships. They must be under the Ameri-
can fag-built, and manned, and owned
by Americans"
As we all know, nothing came Of this
recommendation. The tariff remained
unrevised, our foreign trade made small
If any progress, and no merchant ma
rine appeared. Mr.. Mckinley went to
his grave, and his advice along with him.
Surely, at the close Of this war the
necessity will be greater than ever for
what President Mckinley wanted in
augurated In 1901. Our e1clusiveness of
all kinds has disappeared. The increase
Of our productivity and the expansion
of our trade are among the piainest of
requirements. That treaties with other
nations bearing upon trade and other
things must be negotiated scarcely
needs argument. And that an American
merchant marine worthy of the new
times Is demanded needs but to be
stated.
Col. House Is organizing his staff, and
there are suggestions that his investiga-
tions and recommendations will cover
these and kindred matters. As bust
ness man he is expected to be attracted
particularly to business problems.

McAdoo Day-Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the last day for sub
scription to the liberty loan. It will be
appropriately known as McAdoo day in
recognition of the invaluable services
the Secretary Of the Treasury has rem
dered for the cause of this second in
stallment on the great war loan. Mr..
McAdoo's speechmaking tour has un.
doubtedly been one Of the most potent
influences in the national arousal max
ing this loan so marked a success as it
now promises to be. It will be appro-
pirate for all Washington to assemble
at the White Lot tomorrow afternoon
to make the climax of the liberty loan
campaign a tremendous affair, so that
Washington will be able to roll up the
bond subscription far in excess of its
allotment.

Washington's Street Car Problem.

It Is announced that the Capital Trac-
ton Company, beginning Monday next,
Will put into service eighteen additional
cars to caro- for the increased traffic in
the hours Of heaviest use on the vari-
Gus lines. This is q contribution to the
public convenience which is appreciated.
Washington has been proud of its rapid
transit service since the installation of
the underground electric system, but in
recent years it has suffered from in
adequacy Of cars at the hours of great
est use, and the plea has been advanced
on behalf of the traction companies that
tho existing trackage would permit
little, if any, more shortening Of
tho headway to afford more accommo-
dations. If these eighteen cars can be
handled on the various lines of the
Capital Traction Company without diff
Guilty it would seem that tho point Of
real congestion has not been reached,
and that the solution Of the car service
problem lies rather in the way Of rout-
ing than car management.
II the existing traekage cannot sus-
tain . larger number of cars at any
one time on either the Capital Traction
or the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio system, some new means of moving
the people must be found. New tracks
must be laid in the downtown section
or subways must be provided. The sub
way is tho last resource. It is an enor-
mously expensive, tedious undertaking,
causing serious disruption Of the street
surface for . long period. It is to be
hoped that Washington's traffic problem
can be solved by other means. Yet if
the city's population continues for two
or three years to increase at the rate
Of the past few months, not even ad-
ditional tracks can surely yield relief
in the peculiar conditions that here pre-
vail, with the majority of the working
population in motion morning and even
ing within the shortest period compassed
by such movements in any American
city. This matter demands immediate
study by the public utilities commission
with view to early recommendation to
Congress for such legislation as may be
required. Washington should not be
permitted to fall behind its traction
needs as have other cities, like New
York, where the service has for nearly
half a century been at least ten years
back Of the requirements.

Don't Wait Till Tomorrow!

The second liberty loan camnai9n
ends tomorrow. To accommodate the
people who want to buy bonds the local
banks will remain open until 9 o'clock
tomorrow night and later if necessary to
attend to those who put off their sub
scriptions until the end. Do not wait
until then. Get your subscription in
today, to be one of those who aid in
bringing Washington's bond takings up
to the quota point of twenty millions.
Postponement is procrastination and
there is always danger of slip. No
bonds can be bought after the banks
close their doors tomorrow night. Do
not run the risk of being without the
button of honor Sunday morning

Sugar and Coal.

1t appears that the great purchase of
Louisiana sugar for the relief of the
eastern market shortage was not made
directly by the food administration, but
by the refners acting in conjunction
with the federal authorities. 1t is prac-
tically of no moment whether this trans
action was federal or private so that
the effect is to insure an adequate sup
ply at a reasonable price. The author
ity Of the food administration lies di-
rectly with the middleman, not with the
producer or the retailer. Inasmuch as

For the glory of our nation and the

I'm going to church next Sunday; and
I shall not ask to know
Precisely the opinions of the church to

The reverent wish is one in which all

No matter what the language that ex-

Perhaps in silence I'll remain and be

Problems for Col. House.

A largely increased foreign trade, and
q merchant marine entirely adequate
for its support, are prominent items in
American calculations touching the
future. When the war ends, and the
great nations begin setting their houses
in order to meet the requirements and
improve the opportunities of peace, we
shall have much to do to take and hold
our place in the new procession. No
half-hearted or halfway measures will
answer. We shall be in brisk company,
and must exert ourselves to keep up
with it.
The tragedy at Buffalo sixteen years
ago has relation to this business. But
for that, we should probably today be
in much better plight both as trader
and ocean carrier than We are.

The President on Suffrage.

Surely the advocates OF woman SUI
frage everywhere will take heart from
the deliverance Of the President on the
subject yesterday. Hs committed him
self both as man and as party leader.
Especially did he point out the influence
Of the war on the matter. He con-
siders the time now ripe for the women
to win, and he hopes they may. He
left nothing unsaid bearing favorably
on what his visitors had called to his
attention.
The speech had for particular object
effect on the campaign in New York now
drawing to close. The field Is difficult.
1t is q portion Of "the enemy's coun-
try" Previous efforts there in behalf
Of women have failed. The opposition
has mustered in strength, and defeated
propositions for enlarging the electo-
rate.
This time, however, the proposition
is supported by men as well as women
Of great distinction. As for example: /:
Within the state Gov. Whitman. Mayor
Mitchell, Theodore Roosevelt and Charles
E. Hughes are urging that the vote be
given to women, while without the state
William ]. Bryan and now the President
have joined tho procession. 1t is formi-
dable company, and much is expected
Of It,
The most eminent name In the ranks
Of the opposition is that Of Elihu Root.
Mr.. Root has never favored giving the
vote to women; and the war has not
changed his view. But he is not active
In the present contest, leaving his well
known and recently reafirmed opinion
to represent him.
The mayoralty campaign in Greater
New York has taken on a phase which
has thrown everything else in town into
the shade. This may affect this state
issue, though to what extent, or In what
way, is mere guess. As many foes
as friends may forget everything else in
the absorbing local issue.
New York for woman suffrage, revers-
ing its previous attitude, viii add great
ly to the energy with which the cause
win be urged upon Congress next win
ter. But even with New York repeat
ing her opposition, there will be NO lack
of energy in the campaign the women
have organized for this town when Con-
gress reassembles. They are coming
in numbers, and for the purpose Of Sc
curing a hearing even at time when
50 much business Of every kind will be
In hand
The legislators are apprised Of what
awaits them, and presumably will be
ready when the time comes to 60 on rec
ord on a matter which in the last few
years has grown to great proportions,
and is now a world problem demanding
solution.
