Representative Carlin's Resignation

Representative carlin's resignation
from the House is a distinct loss to
the District, and win be regretted by
the people of this city. Mr.. Carlin,
representing the eighth Virginia dis
triet, has during all of his six terms
manifested the keenest and most prae-
teal and helpful interest in National
Capital affairs. Though not member
of the District committee, he has been
helpful in many ways in securing wise
legislation for Washington, and is rec
ognized as having faithfully fulfilled
his legislative obligation under the
Constitution to his Capital eonstitu-
eney as well as to his Virginia CON
stituency. His retirement, following
the reelection, is an unusual proceed
ure, and the hope of his Washington
friends is that he will find in it a
distinct and deserved increase in
prosperity. There is also the hope
that his successor in Congress will
take as keen an interest in District
affairs as he has throughout his twelve
years of congressional service.

ment. In the case of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company the re-
cent fire has undoubtedly crippled some
of the lines, though the deficiency has
in some part been made up by using
open cars, fortunately permitted by
the mild weather. In the barns of this
company are several of the large new
cars ordered some months ago and stiH
being received, for which, however,
motors are still lacking. Every pos
sible effort should be made to put these
ears in commission. The city's popu-
lation is not diminishing appreciably
and the congestion is as great as ever.
The commissions order should be
strictly carried into effect, and with
the approach of spring the summer
cars will be increasingly available.
There is now no labor shortage to pre-
vent the manning of all the cars that
can be turned out on the tracks.

More Deficiency Bill Trouble.

Failure of the deficiency bill, be-
sides compelling the suspension of
street cleaning until an appropriation
can be secured, threatens other trou-
blcs for the District. Reports that
owing to the lack of funds 20 per
cent reduction in their pay is planned
have caused the workmen in the sew
age and water pumping service to talk
of striking, and they have deputed a
representative to file their protest
against such reduction. They cou
pie this, however, with alternative pro
posals, that the reduction be made pro
Yisional, with reimbursement when the
appropriations are made, or that the
force be reduced by successive fur
loughs to eke out the funds, enabling
the men laid off TO secure temporary
employment. These propositions are
practical and reasonable. If the avail
able funds are not adequate to carry
on the work until Congress acts one
of them should be adopted, rather
than a wholesale cut in pay without
prospect of reimbursement. The city
must not be exposed to the danger of
a discontinuance of the pumping serv-
ice.

And yet we know what great men say,

With serious attention the momen-

The place is filed with beauty that is
sent from up above;
The sunshine calls the flowers to sa-
lutte the flag we love.
We hail each vital thought that comes
to help this toiling earth,
And feel that we're acquainted with
the brain that gave it birth.
They seem to be among us, all those
men whose mind and heart
Call us to join mighty march and
strive to do our part.
We give them salutation and each
pulse beats warm and quick.

At the beginning, small population,
fringing the Atlantic ocean, considered
government and what form it should
take. At later date a much larger
population, distributed over the con-
tinent, discussed, guns in hand, for
four years whether the government
that had been established should be
preserved.
The present discussion relates to pro-
posed changes in the government then
preserved. In its present form it IS
one of the most powerful governments
in existence. 1t is the appointed
and acknowledged guardian of the
western hemisphere. 1t represents a
population of over hundred millions,
unequaled in demonstrated capacity
for conducting public affairs.
All are interested All have bene-
fted by the successes achieved. If a
mistake should be made now, either i'll
changing the course affairs have taken,
or in refusing to make a change, all
will be penalized
Let us then have the fullest possible
discussion under the most favorable
of the whole matter. No
censorship runs. Men may express
themselves as they feel; and great
deal of feeling has been aroused.
There should be no danger of its TAX
ing extreme or extravagant tang. No
proposition is advanced in public
favor by incorporate advocacy.
For some weeks, and maybe for sev-
eral months, Paris is going to give
heed to the American stump. The
members of the peace conference are
now advised that stumping has begun,
and that in this country no agency
tops the stump in the rousing of in
terest and the shaping of public senti-
ment. Since, therefore, Paris is part
of our gallery, we should play in the
best keller possible.

Party Divisions.

Divisions are reported in both par
ties in Congress, particularly in the
House. They may yield to treatment.
There is time. Several months may
elapse before Congress is called to-
gether. Popular opinion just now
picks June | as the date Much of a
unifying character may be done before
then if the matter is taken in hand
with due appreciation of its impor
tance.
1t is most important. Both parties
should appear in their best fighting
form when the session begins. The
initiative and responsibility will be
with the republicans, and ON that ae
count they should be united. Divided
counsels with them could have but one
result--a feeble and ineffective start; /;
and it would not be easy to remedy
such a start.
Unless the democrats are united,
they will be unable to take advantage
of any blunders the republicans may
make To match blunder with blunder
would simply be to pile blunders sky
high. A united minority tends toward
the making of united and careful ma
jority; and that sort of majority as a
rule spells good legislation and ma
tionaI benefit.
that the situation may lead to a sort
Of party chaos in Congress- disor-
ganized minority eontending with a
disorganized majority, and both zig
tagging through fruitless session.
This does not seem likely. There is
too much at stake. There are imme-
diately pressing problems of great mo-
ment; and some of them at least must
be acted upon as soon as possible, or
the public interests will suffer.
Then we have to consider the ap-
preaching presidential campaign. Party
chaos in Congress would mean more or
less party chaos then; and party chaos
then might mean general demoralza
ton.
Since there are differences of opin-
ion, now is the time to air them. They
are not of themselves deplorable. On
the contrary, they sometimes make in
the end for an effective solidarity.
They set party men to thinking-force
frankness Of speech, and intelligent
and necessary compromises.
No trained observer has failed to
note the embarrassments that appear
on every hand. Conditions are in every
way unusual. But that very fact is a
challenge to all in authority to do
their best toward promoting order and
progress through the established agen-
cies under our form of government.

Develop the Industrial District.

A movement is in progress under the
auspices of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association to develop the
industrial District 1t should have the
support of every citizen, and there is
reason TO believe that through organ
ization many additions can be made TO
the working plants in the capital, Civ
ing employment to large numbers OF
people and adding TO the prosperity Of
the District.
Washington was not designed as a
great industrial center. Congressional
action has always been adverse to its
development along that line. Restric-
tions have been placed upon manufac-
turing here which for many years kept
industrial enterprise out of the Dis
trict. But there are forms of manu-
featuring that find a most suitable
location here. Some of these have al
ready been developed most satisfac-
torily and proitably.
There are facilities here for works
of this character, excellent transporta-
tion, both water and rail-, and near
ness to both the material supplies and
to the markets. Now it is proposed to
offer inducements to manufacturers to
locate here, and with an effective or
ganization working to this end it is
probable that more plants will be
established of character suitable to
the environment and in all respects
fitting in with the capitals equipment.
The District needs business of this
character. 1t is at present too largely
dependent upon the government for
the employment of its people, and
especially for opportunities for its
younger residents. Light, clean, pro-
gressive manufacturing works here will
be blessing and everything possible
should be done to secure such install
iations for the District.
IN tiilS movement t6O CidsScS VI IN
dustries are desirable. The light, clean
lines of manufacturing can be located
within the city without iHjuring the
capitals artistic aspect. There is abun-
dant room within the urban area for
them. For others of the heavier and
possibly disfguring character there is
plenty of room outside, both within the
District and within the nearby Vir-
ginia territory formerly part of the
original District. Already large ship
plant has been established at Alex
andria. There is wide field here for
development on both lines of manu-
facture. And it is hoped in this con-
nection that the Potomac water power
will be soon utilized to supply in
abundance the current required for in
dustries. A proper use of this potential
source Of power would enable the Dis
trict to support a most profitable line
of enterprises, in no wise out of har-
mony with its character as the capital
Of the nation.
