IN order for @eold tea results in the
delivery Of pot Of almost boiling hot
tea, which must be chilled BY being
poured over ice in glass. Tho ice
quickly melts and more is required to
bring the beverage to the desired and
palatable temperature. The tea should
be kept chilled in the ice box before
service. Melons are served On beds Of
cracked ice that melts before the fruit
is eaten. In other ways ice il lavishly
wasted. In the aggregate this wastage
represents the quantity required by
many families,
Public patience without panic, in the
assurance Of every possible efforts on
the part Of the ice makers and dis
tributors to serve the community, will
tide over the situation until the relief
measures are effective. If all the works
now under way are completed as ex-
pected there will never again be an
ice shortage in Washington.

The Colombian Treaty.

Inc SenateS decision to consider the
Colombian treaty III open sessions is
most wise, and following hard upon a
like decision in the case Of the peace
treaty will encourage the hope that in
time, and maybe soon, the doors will
be opened as a fixed policy, and the
public permitted to know all that is
said and done whenever business
hitherto handled as confidential il
transacted. Let US have, as constancy,
"open covenants, openly arrived at"
As respects this Colombian treaty the
fullest publicity is desirable. The fact
marks the close Of an episode which
occasioned good deal Of bad feeling.
There were charges by both sides. CO.
lombia charged that she had been badly
dealt with. In turn it was charged
against Colombia that she had thrown
herself athwart the path Of progress,
and selfshly attempted to hold up
America.
Progress, however, was not impeded.
The Panama canal was built, and the
world gave its approval As the world
could see. the benefits were to be
worldwide. Connecting tho two great
oceans had been siths dream Of cen
turies;" and here waa the dream real
ized-transmuted into . flowing fact.
The canal IL on the eve Of coming
into its own, SO to say. With the re-
turn Of peace win return the business
activities Of the world. Commerce is
now to become the wear. All the pro-
dueing nations will be seeking mar
kets for their products. Merchant ships
Tying the leading haigs win be moving
in all directions, and . great many Of
Thorn win pass through the Panama
canal, which is far and away the most
important water course Of its kind and
length in the world.
So all the world win benefit. Colon
bia should reap rich fruits along with
other nations. The canal q at her
doors. She viii use It on terms espe-
cially regardful Of her interests.
aAlps well that ends we'll" The
racket over the Inauguration Of the
canal enterprise has subsidized. Panama
Is q governmental entity, and getting
along very well. The canal is in sue
cessful operation, and enters into all
large trade calculations. Now that the
world is benehting, the world wonders
at the long delay In connecting the
Atlantic and the Pacific.
The open debate in the Senate is not
likely to revive any Of the feeling
which at one time, and for too long,
attached to the canal question. What
lie desired Is full public knowledge
Of the means adopted for putting
at rest all contentious about matter
which, though inaugulratsd under diAa-
culties, is now an accomplished fact Of
worldwide and almost incalculable
consequence.

Race Riots and Force.

Race Riots and Force.
An interesting and possibly instruc-
tive contrast in methods is afforded in
the race rioting in Chicago, which has
developed to an appalling extent Of
tragedy, and that which recently &C.
Cured in this city. Here the ordinary
police force proved inadequate during
the first two nights Of disorder and was
eked out by soldiery. with the effect
that after third night Of turmoil and
slaughter the situation was mastered
and order was restored. In Chicago
the riots have progressed on an ascend
ing scale, with the police struggling
alone to cope with tho forces Of law
lsssness. soldiery has been summoned,
but has not been employed. The city
authorities express themselves as salts
fed with the results Of their efforts,
but the ease nevertheless stands at this
writing without sign Of abatement in
the savagery and Staying. The police
have not been able to master the mobs.
Ordinary police forces have thus
proved inadequate in both cities. Here
the military was used, not perhaps a.
promptly as it should have been, or a
fully as the case demanded until q
menace Of the utmost degree Of peril
impended. There the troops have mere.

shown itself inadequate to cover the

America and World Trade.

James Henry ThomaS, memDer u

returned home after a visit to this
country made for the purpose Of OBJ
serving American commercial and
manufacturing conditions. He advises
his eountrymen to look alive. In an
interview published in London news
paper he says:
Everything have seen in America,
taken in conjunction with events now
occurring in this country, convinces
that we shall lose our commercial su-
premacy unless we drastically change
our political methods. Throughout
America I saw conclusively that the
fullest preparations were being made
TO capture our commercial supremacy.
What the people of this country won't
realize is that America is in q posi-
ton to hold US up for ransom. The
United States does not need to import
much raw materials, and her economic
position therefore is unrivaled today"
