to tho capital stock and, therefore, to
the basis Of earning demands and pos
sibilities. Much Of the present trou-
bic Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company is due to overcapi-
talization incident to the various
mergers which ultimately brought it
into being. If there is an unwilling.
ness on the part of q majority of the
holders Of the stock of either company
to unite their interests compulsion by
Congress can be effected only by ex-
ercise Of the power Of charter revoca-
tion, against which the plea of confisca-
tion may be advanced. The hope is
that, if merger is actually undertaken,
it will be effected through agreement,
and yet in any case there must be
some supervision by commission or by
Congress, or by both, over the capi
talization to prevent continuation of
the evils from the effects of which the
community is now suffering in poor
service.

Ford's Verdict,

Henry Ford's verdict of cents
against the newspaper that called him
an anarchist and an ignorant idealist
is unquestionably technically a full
vindication for him, even though the
amount awarded falls far short Of the
damages claimed in his suit. Yet from
the public point of view it has been
practically losing battle for the man.
ufacturer. Ford gets the vindication,
the newspaper pays the costs, and both
sides suffer very heavily in expenses.
The punishment administered for the
freedom of criticism is measured by
the actual costs of the trial. No prin-
ciple has been established by this af-
fair unless it be that Ford, in the
judgment Of the jury, is not an anar-
chist. It did not require this costly
demonstration to convince the public.
Whether the ignorant idealist" asper-
sion figured in any degree in tho YER
diet is not established.
Stating the case as a whole, it is
probable that Ford is actually q loser
by the proceeding. He has been vim
dicated on the score Of the anarchist
charge, which nobody believed or cred
tied, but his abysmal ignorance Of the
commonest facts Of American history,
his confession that he signed adver-
tisemeuts and proclamations Of the ma
ture Of which he knew nothing and
which he was unable to explain, his
disposition, in short, to do everything
in his career Of craftsmanship by
proxy while taking the role Of prin-
cipal cannot fail to leave q deep i'm
press upon the public mind to his dis
advantage. It would have been bet
ter to rest upon . denial Of the anar-
chist allegation, which he made uni
versally public by his suit, than to
have been pilloried "a joke in the
eyes Of the whole country.

way he was able to keep the President
well informed on all the important
phases Of the struggle before this coun-
try declared war on the central powers.
At the peace conference Col. House
was second only to the President in
the deliberations in which the Ameri-
can delegates took part. He was often
mentioned in the dispatches, and al
ways in connection with some impor-
tant branch Of the business in hand.
The colonel has the leisure for such
a performance. Free from all Official
cares. and with ample means to lead
the life of his choice, he would have
but to collect his papers, refresh his
memory here and there, and then, with
NO fear of interruptions, buckle down
to his task.
1t is needless to say that the work
would command wide interest. The
colonel's reputation is now worldwide.
As the Presidents friend and adviser
he is known wherever the President
is known; and in no country where
there is a reading public would the
colonel's story of the great world trag-
edy fail to reach the class of best sell
ers. It would travel far in transla-
tions, and achieve both literary and
financial success. And so let US hope
that the colonel has the matter in mind,
and may shortly clear his writing table
for action.

Sleuthing the Profteers.

Special legislation is asked to en-
able the President to use the secret
service in the campaign against food
hoarders and profteers, and an appro-
priation Of $175,Oo0 is urged to this
end. It develops in this connection
that the secret service was 80 en-
ployed during the war a. an adjunct
to the food administration, and con-
sequently the force is now qualified
to work in the general administrative
effort to reduce tho cost Of living. The
public will heartily indorss such an
expenditure if there IL any chance that
through the employment Of this serv-
ice some Of the profteers can be
brought to book, and will not be in
clined to institute any unpleasant COM

Merger Plans.

According to the proposals Of q com.
mittee Of the Chamber Of Commerce
relative to the possible merger Of the
local traction companies, the Public
Utilities Commission is to name a COM
mittee of disinterested men to arrange
the details Of the merger. Another
plan proposed is to ask Congress to
pass bill outlining the merger project
and determining the number of stock
holders necessary to effect the merger
and also the basis of remunerating
non-assenting stockholders, Possibly
some plan may be worked out for q
union Of the two properties upon a
basis that viii be equitable both to
all the stockholders and at the same
time to the community by . Hnttatioa

Col. House as Historian.

Shall we have book from Col. House
on the subject of the war and Amer
iea's part in it, The matter is sue-
gested.
The colonel is known principally
indeed, almost solely-as a politician.
He loves the game of politics, and
plays it well-plays it the better prob
ably because of perfect freedom from
. desire for Office for himself. He
! contents himself with helping others
to good places and then advising them
in the discharge Of their official duties.
Offce seems never to have had q lure
for him.
But politics. it Is said. has not Who'll.
ly occupied him. He is something of
q student, and has read widely. It il
also said that he writes well. And
maybe that accomplishment accounts
for the fact that he talks little. When
he has anything Of value to eommuni.
cate, even to friends, he prefers to
put it on paper.
If Col. House takes his pen in hand
and exercises it as suggested, the world
should receive very interesting vol.
une. He knows the subject as nc
other American does. He was prob.
ing the war for the President and al
the Presidents instance long before
America became . belligerent. he
made several visits to Europe. and

The Protest to Mexico.

y UctbcImCub O1 COuuItlOAS 10 lIACAy
] result from the exchange of notes
J ween this government and Mexico
}, Itive to the protection of Ameri-
: IS in that country. Indeed, it is to
i believed that already an improve
ient has occurred, even though the
J. ponse of the government at Mexico
y was Of somewhat cavalier char
a-tcr. In the circumstances it is pos
lie to accept a certain degree of ar
z inentative resistance of American
: -inands without losing confidence in
IT, disposition of the Mexican gov
erament to do its best to accord the
- lest possible protection to our ma
mails in that country.
The possibility of change in the
snerican policy toward Mexico was
,,i!y limited in the note of July %,
.iieh stated that if the lives of
.nerican citizens continue to remain
lsafe by reason Of the unwillingness
CT the inability of the Mexican gov
crlment to afford adequate protection,
.ais government "may be forced to
i.iopt q radical change in its policy
" tn regard to Mexico" Nothing could
:eeed this expression for softness of
:ntimation.
The Mexican reply was couched in
T ,rsuasive terms. It noted the differ
csc between the populated and the un-
7 lpulated areas, in the latter of which
tie crimes against Americans have
chiefly occurred, and asked that our
nationals be requested to keep out Of
the zones of danger, save as they are
compelled on business account to en-
T,r them. and then with the protection
,e government escorts, the Mexican ad-
Il inistration having in certain cases
fsreed to stand the burden Of reim-
! ursement in case bandits take loot
despite the presence Of such escorts.
While claiming material improve
nient in the situation in Mexico, the
government Of that country virtually
onfesses to inability to maintain or
der in Q large area It Is careful, how
ever, not to ask for aid, or to suggest
the possibility that aid viii be well
como. The note is. indeed, an ad-'
;uration that If American nstionals OBJ
-erve rules Of prudence they viii not
require special means Of protection.
Impatience with the inability Of the
government Of Mexico to guarantee
aafety to our people throughout the
country is not lessened by this note,
but there is no immediate reason to
look for that change Of policy which
8 limited. The fact is well known here
hat Mexico is ridden with bandits and
political outlaws, grouped under vari-
Gus banners, often completely in con-
troll Of their immediate areas, some-
times in frequent collision with the
forces Of the government. The terri
tory over which the Carranza admin
.stration has undisputed control is by
no means the major part Of the entire
Mexican area, though doubtless it com
PASSES most Of the people. We recog-
nize no other government than his and
must continue to have our dealings
with it. and, short Of Intervention,
which is greatly to be deplored and
always to be avoided as far as posi-
BILE, we must avoid action that will
cause its collapse.
