Representative Moore's bill just in- troduced in the House to establish the legislative foundation for the new conduit work properly puts this enter. Ppriso upon a broad basis. It contem- plates an ultimate expenditure of $9,- 523,000. Of course, it is not contem- plated that this sum will be appropri. ated or spent in any one year. The conduit plan is an extensive one and will take several years for completion There is at present a working fund ot $200,000, which will be expended along the lines of the adopted plan. An ad- ditional sum of $3,600,000 has )u!tl been cut out of the District bill by the House appropriations committee on the groypd, it is said, that there is some doubt as to the effectiveness of the project. On this score there is.a decided difference of opinion between the House committee and the en- gineers, but there is an expectation that when the matter is considered, in * the Senate the item will Be restored. Meanwhile, Representative Moore" bill, which merely recites the enlarge- ment project in legislative terms, should be pressed to p: the necessary foundation for any fu- ture appropriative enactment beyond the range of point of order or objec- tion. Assuredly Congress will not tempo- rize further with this question of water supply. Its own personnel is affected The health of every government offi- clal as well as the health of the local community is in the balance. The margin between sufficient water and a failure of the supply is so slender that it is dangerous to continue without enlargement. Responsibility for this condition now rests upon Congress. The facts have been repeatedly stated, the engineers have reported, and only recently a slight accident at the filtration plant has specifically demonstrated the risk that is run by continued dependence upen a single conduit and filter sys- tem. Provision for this work by driblets will be the poorest economy. As much money as can possibly be expended ef- fectively in any one year should be appropriated annually until the work is done. Curtallment.is an invitation to disaster. ———ete—————— A Sea-Carrying Policy. Current report has it that the Prest dant will address Congress on the sub- Ject of an American merchant marine very soon. Now and then complaint is heard that we are slow about inaugurating a seacarrying policy; that if we are to hope for anything in that line we must go efter it with energy; that those we are to meet as competitors on the water are in good shape and prepared for business as soon as busi- r.ess revives. ‘Whatever ground there may be for this complaint, it is to be remembered that the administration and Congress have had their hands full since taking charge, and been approached from this direction and that in favor of this profect and that. The merchant ma- rine has had to take its chances in a press. It is true also that the sea-carrying ‘business, like every other kind of ¢ { (isturbing the standard of value which | of their best. ge, giving : stuffed alligators and bottled mon- strosities and skulls standing around.

A gold brick, it seems, was shown in Berlin, and when tested was found to be 99 per cent pure.

Nobody 1s taking anything for granted this year. 8o much is in con- fusion, and so many are involved, the man who two years ago had a host behind him is as keen for detalls of the existing situation as the one who squeezed through then on the nar- rowest of margins. This should, and probably will, in- sure the election of a strong Congress. When all the seats are warmly con: tested the winners will represent at least a capacity for sounding as well as shaping public sentiment. A strong Congress will “come In very handy.” For some years Uncle Sam'’s affairs will require skilled atten- tion. The men who gather on Capitol BUSINESS possessing & main office employing nearly 2,000 men, with fifty-nine branch offices throughout the city, ‘would be considered quite a thriving Institution for the busiest municipal- ity. Yet fow Washingtonlans stop to consider that this is the situation in regard to the Washington city post office, with its main office, and thirty- tract statibns scattered throughout the District. The growth In the number of clas- sifled stations since Postmaster Chance tooks control six years ago has been especially gratifying. Their number has been increused from six to thirty, each station giving to the! territory it serves a post office com- plete in itself and eqwvalent in every way to post officcs enjoyed by small cities and towns. o * k * % These classified stations differ from the Qontract stations in that the clerks in charge of the former are experienced postal employes, whereas the men at the head of the latter are merchants who have contracted with the post office to conduct the stations.

Inattention is one of the chief factors of its virulence and spread. It is not to cause needless alarm that attention is called to these condi- tlons.

Passage by the Senate of the bill to extend 14th street through the grounds of Walter Reed Hospital should be fol- lowed quickly by passage in the House. This bill represents the best judgment ‘of those most concerned in both the city development and the es- tablishment and maintenance of the great Army hospital. It provides for the proper extension of one of the ar- terial streets without endangering life or becoming a nuisance in the hospital area. It is an effective compromise between the general street plan and the desire of the hospital authorities to preserve the reservation free from encroachment. . l The late Viscount Bryce was one of the great men who have combined sincere and sympathetic human at- tributes with the capacity for direct and profound thinking. ‘There is doubtless an opinion in Russia that three yeers in prison is too light a sentence for & man whose ambition it was to imitate Rasputin. i Every agriculturist feels that he has bustness, has not only been dislocated | but in a lirge measure demoralized for several years.

The latest phase of this service 1s the instaliation of automatic stamp- vending machines at several places, under the authorization of Postmaster General Hays. For a long time there has been an autdmatic machine on the ket in which the' owners were al- lowed to make a profit of one cent on the sale of two two-cent stamps, a nickle being required to bring.forth the two stamps. Postal authorities belleved that the peeple should get thetr full value, and now have a num- ber of machines which give the patron} five two-cent stamps for a dime, five; one-cent stamps for a nickel, etc: | These machines, which are attractive ! have. been®established ; bby of the Pusiness office of , at the Natonal Press Club and a few other ces. i The machines are under-the direct; .and entire supervision of the | post | office, being loaded .with stamps, and the mnneyg taken from them, solely by post office employes. ese ma- chines are an experiment, and at this time it s not known whether they will be generally installed. The in- stallation of the automatio stamp Jesmen, however, points_out in & riking’ fashion the essential busi- nesslike character of a great modern post office. It sells stamps and money orders, and must show a profit at the end of the year like any other busiy ness. L O The more stamps a post office can and the larger office it becomes. With increased postal business the poat- master gets an increased salary, and offictais under him and clerks in charge of stations get in- creased salaries. A modern post office, of which the Washington office is a fine example, is truly a great business establish ment. ' Its postmaster must be a busi ness man.
