Berger Nominated Again.

At a primary election held yester-
day in Milwaukee Victor Berger was
nominated for Congress to occupy the
seat left vacant by his own exclusion
from the House ON the ground of his
conviction of the charge of .disloyalty.
He has not been purged Of that charge.
His appeal to higher court from his
conviction is still to be heard. He
stands precisely where he did a few
weeks ago, when the House. after a
protracted committee hearing, voted
with virtual unanimity to exclude him.
If the voters in the fifth Wisconsin
district a week from next Friday give
him majority Of votes he will again
present himself to the House for ad-
mission. And he will again be ex.
cluded, this time probably without de-
lay. It is now for the voters of that
district to determine whether they will
choose to remain unrepresented in
Congress. If they elect Berger again,
in the face of the solemn declaration
by the House that he Is not fit to sit
in the national legislature, they will
stamp themselves as unfit to be rep
resented.

Back to Russia.

A federal court in New York city
yesterday ruled that Emma Goldman
and Alexander Berkman, having
broken the laws Of this country and
demonstrated themselves as undesir-
ables, as fomenters of revolt and as
dangerous to the peace and security
Of the American people, must be de-
ported. They will now await at Ellis
Island the sailing of ship that will
take them to Russia, whence they
came long ago. This will be, in way,
like throwing fuel back upon the fire,
inasmuch as both of these radicals de-
clare that they will go to Russia to
work for the general revolution, hop
ing to spread their agitation to these
shores through the Russian anarchistie
organization. But at least they will
not be setting things alight here di.
rectly. There may be better way to
dispose of these creatures, possibly the
establishment of a penal colony some
where in midocean. but as long as we
have not arrived at the point of our
evolution where such precautions
against domestic turmoil have been
taken, there is no place to dispatch
them save to the country of their
origin. And there are scores, doubt,
less hundreds, of others as dangerous
as Berkman and Goldman, of less no
toriety, but of equal malevolence, who
should 90 quickly and forever. as long
as our laws do not permit their final
dispatch in this land, which they have
sought to infame with class hatred
and to overturn in anarchism.

Indeed, that is liberal allowance Of

A Water Supply Inquiry.

Prompt passage by the Senate of
the House bill which yesterday re-
ceived favorable report from the Sen
ate committee should be had to put
into action without delay the proposed
investigation into the water supply
needs of the District. From one cause
and another such an inquiry has been
postponed for several years Now it is
imperatively urgent and it should be
pressed, Immediately upon enactment,
with the utmost speed. Washington's
margin of safety today is slight, and
at any time it may be exhausted,
bringing the greatest menace. to the
capital community. An accident to the
present distribution plant, break in
the dam at Great Falls, or prolong.
ed period of drought and heat in sum
mer would bring the District to the
point of danger.

the present water supply will not be

accidents or extraordinary conditions,

No Flaw in District Titles.

Title claims have been filed to large
tracts of land within the District by
discoveries of an alleged flaw in the
titles by which those areas are held
by their present owners. At the rate
of 81 an acre virtually the entire bust
ness portion of the capital has been
covered by these clai.s, under a
statute of 1907, which, l,forbids posses
sion by any person of any land ceded
to the United States which has not
been previously sold, ceded or leased
by the United States.
No concern need be felt by the pres
ent "owners" of the lands in question,
So far as their titles are good in pres
emit law and they have paid their
taxes they are perfectly secure in pos
session and ownership. The law of
1907 does not apply to the lands trans
ferred by Maryland to the United
States in the formation Of the federal
district known as the District of Co
lumbia. BY that cession the state of
Maryland did not cede any land to
the United States. It simply trans
ferred to the federal government the
sovereignty vested in those lands, just
as in the recent cession by Denmark
of the Virgin Islands to the United
States all that passed was the sover-
eighty, and not the title to specific
areas, which remained ,undisturbed
Such lands as were owned by the state
of Maryland at the time of the ces-
sion passed to the United States d.
rectly, as in the Virgin Islands the
lands, actually owned by the Danish
government became the property. of
the United States. Private ownership
was not in any manner disturbed.
The promoters of this scheme to take
over enormous areas and values for
virtually nothing will be sorely dis
appointed. 1t is to be hoped that they
have not "sold" any of this real estate
to purchasers outside of Washington,
for the latter would in such case find
grievously discouraged on
seeking possession.

Let reply be made to them which
will show them and their friends
abroad who have been noting their
capers how strong the government still
is in the affections of an overwhel I'm
ing majority of the people, and how
prompt and emphatic the people are in
testifying to their feelings when chal-
lenged.
Spellbinding will not be difficult for
praeticed binders. The legitimate is
sues are all interesting. Some are es-
pecially inspiring. They appeal both
to orators and to auditors.
We are going to settle the questions
American fashion-man fashion. We
are going TO show that, however sharp
ly we may differ among ourselves
about domestic issues, we are as one
in devotion to the old foundations
and what they still signify in our ma
'tional existence.
Between now and June delegate
hunting will be a strenuous industry.
Between June and November vote
hunting will be the order of the day
In both cases experts will be engaged.
None others need apply. The stakes
are so high and the game so absorbing,
the players necessarily must represent
the very best talent that can be Sc
cured. And for the first time in our
life as nation we shall have the
whole world for gallery. No nation of
consequence will be without interest
in next years American contest and
the result at the polls.

President and Foreign Relations.

President Wilson's protest against
action by the Senate in the matter of
relations with Mexico appears to have
caused the abandonment of the plan
to adopt resolution recommending
a break with that country. The Presi-
dent declares fiat the adoption OF
resolution "wouid constitute reversal
of our constitutional practice, which
might lead to very grave confusion In
regard to the guidance of our foreign
affairs" He urges that "the initiative
in directing the relations of our gov
ernmcnt with foreign governments is
assigned by the Constitution to the ex-
e,utive and to the executive only.
II is undoubtedly true that IN the
practice heretofore of this government
the initiative in foreign relations mas
been invested in and exercised by the
executive 1t is, however, true also
that the Constitution gives to Con
grcss alone. the power to declare war,
thus vesting in it the supreme author
ity for the exercise of the final act of
disruption of relations, with no Imlta
ton upon its initiative in that respect.
Congress can at any time, with or with
out the initiative of the President, de-
clare war. Similarly, the President
can so direct the foreign relations of
the government as to make war in
evitable and to make it imperative for
Congress to declare war.
The Fall resolution was not decla-
ration of war, nor would be interpret
ed as tantamount to such if adopted.
DIPLOMATIC relations have on several
occasions in the past been broken by
this government without breach of
peace. Foreign Representatives have
withdrawn from this capital without
involving their own countries in hos
tilities. Adoption of the Fall resolu-
ton might lead to war, but declare
ton of it would have to be separately
adopted, with or without presldentlai
recommendation.
1t is undoubtedly safer on all ae:
counts to leave the initiative in direct
dealings between this government and
others in the hands of the executive.
He is in the best position to know.
facts and to understand conditions.
Upon him eenters responsibility. From
him go orders to ambassadors, min
listers, consuls and other representa-
tives of the government abroad. His
course. may be guided as to general
policies and legislative enactments, but
within the limits of those policies he
is the director of relations with other
nations.

Would take his fiddle down and play
And thus relieve his mind.
Now, while 1 don't possess the brains
That Thomas put on view,

That need a tune or two.
As just humble citizen

The problems great which now and
Come romping through the land.
While my results are not as fine
As those that Tom could state,
Each effort in the thinking line
For me is far more great.

Curls up and fades away,
In dumb perplexity 1 turn
From all the doubt and din
And wish that I had time to learn
