Striking evidence of this govern
ment's "big brother" attitude toward
the smaller American republics was
presented in the house of representa-
tlves when there was up for consldera-
ton a bill TO authorize compensation
from the Santo Domingo treasury of
officers and enlisted men of the Unit
ed States navy and marine corps now
assisting In the administration of that
country's affairs. In the course or
discussion Congressman Padgett or
Tennessee, chairman of the committee
on naval affairs. who recently visited
Santo Domingo with other members OF
the committee, summed up the work
done by these officers while speaking
In favor of the bill.
"They have" he said, "the whole ad-
minlstratlon of that government there.
They are organizing constabulary
looking after the civil administration.
They have displaced the legislative
body, and the president placed Admiral
Knapp in charge there as naval gov
ernor, and we have the whole admin
istration of the island and the repub-
lie of Santo Domingo"
Padgett stated further that year
ago there was only $4,000 in the Do
minican treasury, while there is now
on hand SI.25O,O00.

Neutrality-suspicious. reason why Pres
ident Wilson opposes any legislation
Introducing additional officials in the
conduct of the war is because he is
fully convinced that anything like d.
yided responsibility is conducive to 'n-
efficient prosecution or the war. He
has found that differences are constant
ly cropping out between the civil au-
thOrities in England and France and
the military authorities of those ma
tlons. While 1t is supposed that the
civil authorities In both countries are
really in control of the prosecution of
the war. in reality the military are in
command of the armies.
Conflicting requests are made by the
civil authorities upon the United
States. and the president has on sew
eral occasions been much puzzled in
regard to what he should do. The mil
ltary authorities naturally want food,
munitions and soldiers sent over for
the armies. The civil authorities have
represented that food and clothing for
the civilian population is all-important.
On account of the conflict existing the
president realizes that one man must
be commander In chief of the army
and of the navy, and also director OF
the civil government in order to sue
"essfully prosecute the war.

One of the marked changes observed
in congress is due to a different feel
ing which prevails among representa-
tives. and particularly those from the
Southern ststes. a Southerner with
grievance against a fellow member
takes it out In a personal grievance
talk. The men scrap back and forth
with words. not with pistols nor with
a threat of pistols, such as happened
nearly always in personal controver-
sizes "in the good old days" Not only
IS there no talk of shooting, there are
not even kncckdowns and flinging of
books and ink bottles or drawing of
penknlves, such as once characterized
differences OF opinion. especially when
the lie was passed.

Since many radical or unusual or
ders have been issued in connection
with the war, It is not surprising
that another should be suggested in
the line of relieving the condition in
Washington. The national capital In
its entire history never be0Gre had
such an experience as that when
1t is now passing through. Not only
has the population been largely In
creased, but the winter has been
more severe than any ever known In
this region. There has been a greater
demand for food and fuel than ever
before The prices of these absolute
necessities have been mounting higher
and higher. while Ii has been almost
impossible for people to obtain ade-
quate shelter owing to the comman-
deering by the government of many
apartment houses and other buildings,
together with the increased number OF
people In the city.
The radical suggestion Is now made
that no more people be allowed to
come to Washington save those actu-
ally having business with the govern
ment or having business with people
living here. Ii has even been sug-
gested that the order go further and
that those who do not have any BUSH
ness in Washington be required to
leave for some other place In order TO
make room for those who must remain.
1t Is not likely that orders Of this kind
will be issued. but 1t seems strange
that people will continue to flock to
Washington in spite of the high cost
Of living and the congestion that Is
found here.
Another idea which may be put into
effect and which will remove the neces-
sity of getting more CLERKS from other
sections is TO transfer the regular gov
eminent clerks working on routine
work. particularly that which might be
postponed for a year or two, and have
them employed In war work. Thou
sands of experienced clerks might be
released for this kind OF service.

Occasionally pertinent INQUIRIES up
set some of the best arguments that a
man In congress may be making. That
has been particularly true in recent
criticisms passed upon Federal officials
for unexpected and disturbing orders,
such for instance as the order of Doc
toa Garfield closing down industries on
Mondays, and other actions by officials
These inquiries take this form: Did
not congress PASS the laws under
which these orders were issued?
Should not congress have thought Of
these things when 1t passed the legis-
iatiOn granting so much power to the
PRESIDENT Those are questions
which rather stump the man who may
be criticizing the priority orders, or
the orders which have interfered with
