POLITICAL PIRACY.

a GAIN the Democrats OF the Senate have stolen Re
n publican thunder in the passage Of resolution ask
ing the President to transfer from Washington 10 other
less crowded cities such bureaus function just
well outside Of the District Of Columbia The matter
presented to the Senate by Mr. Thomas OF Colorado
and passed without dissenting voice.
But the idea is nothing new. Months ago Congress
Martin b. Madden, of Illinois, OF the Republican
leaders of the House. made precisely the suggestion
TO that body Shortly thereafter Republican Representa-
tive Edward Z. Robbins. Of Pennsylvania, introduced
bill in which the specific recommendations made
that the Food Administration should be located in
Chicago the heart OF the food producing section the
country the Fuel Administration sent 10 Pittsburgh, in
the middle ofhe coal region, and the Shipping Board TO
New York whence most Of commerce flows.
Needless TO say nothing has been done with Mr. Rob
bins bill, its Republican authorship being sufficient to
condemn in the minds Of the Democratic leaders OF
the House. But the principle underlying that
has been seized upon by the Democrats and the
President is officially invited TO from Washing
only the bureaus designated by Mr. Robbins but
any and all divisions OF the Government departments that
perform their duties satisfactorily in other cities

Mr.. Secretary Glass

It HE appointment Of Representative Carter

tary Of the Treasury is one certain to create
widespread approval throughout the country
In selecting him President Wilson has chosen
a man peculiarly qualified for the tremen-

of the House Committee on Banking aud

in framing the Federal reserve act, under
which the financial system Of the government

United States cmerges from the war the cred
itor nation of the world. The financial focus
is no longer in London, but in New York.
The extent to which this country can retain
the advantages it has gained will depend
largely on the extent to which the govern
mcnt's financial policies, terminated at the
Treasury. are sound. 1t is a vast and deli
cate machinery which the secretary is
called upon to direct. Nor can he lie him
self absolutely to the course laid down Inv
his predecessor. 1t will be his task, among
others 10 carry the government part way at
least. back to the basis of expenditures OBJ
tanning before the war. The mere fact that
the interest charges on war loan will

100000 year is evidence sufficient that we
can never hope to get back to the "bllion-
a-ycar" basis OF government expcditurc
which we thought so extravagant few years
back. So that while the extraordinary meas

emergency may in most instances be dis

is for the new secretary TO work out a basis

without being oppressive. Enjoying as he
so completely does, the confidence OF his col
