NEGLECT OF THE POSTOFFICE BUILDING
t i tE are accustomed to complain of the wretched inefficiency
\A/ of the Schmitz grafters in the executive offices
YY and their sneglect of the duty to restore' and rehabilitate
the public buildings of the. city. The complaint is just,
but we expected nothing better from that crowd, and we have
finally got rid of them for good and all.
No such condition applies to the federal bureaus in charge of
restoration and construction work in this city, but' their neglect
of duty appears to be as complete as that of the municipal officials.
The condition of the postoffice has been a public scandal for more
than a year. This was the most expensive building ever erected
' by -the government outside of Washfngton. Money was wasted
• with" both hands on gaudy ornament, conspicuous chiefly for its
' bad taste. Marbles were brought from all over the world to pro
vide startling contrasts of color. , The incongruous and unsuit-
J;able- result was fitly characterized by <£ 'federal judge, appalled by
the pretentious magnificence of his surroundings, , who said he felt
asiif he were presiding at a .soda water •fountain. The chamber
of the court of appeal is finer than a pinto horse in a circus.
V. All this might be suffered to pass without remark if the federal
construction bureau would live up to its own gauds and keep them
in decent repair, but the visitor to this magnificent ruin sees
vfcrokeri sidewalks, marble paneling destroyed and, worst of all, the
/"Outer walls propped with : unsightly scantling.' \u25a0: In a moment of
\u25a0 bureaucratic activity following tHe'nre they appear to have mended
. th'ebroken windows, or otherwise we might expect to see a gaping
.-.'sash stuffed with an old pair of trousers to keep out the winter's
• ' ftawv A decoration of that character would be quite in keeping
•with the rude stilts that prop' the leaning walls.
Money for the necessary repairs was appropriated long ago by
•;: congress, but nothing appears to have been done except the stuffing
• of- pigeonholes. In its present state of -unsightly dilapidation the
' • gaudy building- finds its nearest analogue in one who wears dia
\u25a0-mends'in a dirty shirt. ;£! '^\\ '£?\u25a0
• "THE MASTERY OF THE PACIFIC"
IX connection with , the forthcoming cruise of the battleship fleet
in Pacific waters the merchant marine league of the United
.States makes a strong point about the real "mastery of the
Pacific." We quote: . -. :
. • : But how about the commercial mastery? Is not this equally im
portant?. What kind of a figure has . the United States come to cut in
those western seas?
• Six months ago there were 15 American merchant steamships, most
of them of large size, running from our western ports ,in trans- Pacific
service to Australasia-, and the orient. Since congress adjourned on March 4
•last, without enacting the ocean mail bill which President, Roosevelt so
•earnestly recommended, one of these American steamships has been lost
at sea. Six others have been withdrawn and it is rumored that two more
ftill follow. In six months, therefore, the American merchant fleet in Pacific
commerce has shrank from 15 . steamships to eight, and when congress
/reassembles next December it is likely that only six will be left.
• • • When the great armored fleet goes around the Horn, therefore, the
"ivQrld will-see the grotesque spectacle of 16 American battleships guarding
six American merchant steamships in trans-Pacific commerce— almost three
:. battleships to one merchantman. We 'Americans seem to be terribly
Solicitous of our military prestige. 1 But how about our commercial prestige?
.Is' this worth nothing?. x .
' Japan gives subsidies for steamships — very large subsidies, if
we consider her scanty financial resources — for the Japanese states
men understand that trade follows the flag. They know that every
subsidized Japanese steamship will bring business 'to Nippon mer
chants. England follows the same policy both on the Atlantic
and the Pacific— and it pays. ,
" . ' There will be no war for the mastery of the Pacific other than
the commercial war, and that, it seems, nve are allowing to go by
default. Demagogues stampeded congress last winter \u25a0 by shout*
ing that Harriman and Hill would be the only beneficiaries of a
subsidy. If that were true, as it is not, it would still be no argu
ment against the policy of subsidies, which is intended first to
foster a strong merchant marine and secondly to put
merchants and manufacturers on an equal competitive basis with
foreigners. That is the way to win, "mastery, of the Pacific."
nr^HE'connict of law between the state and federal jurisdictions
I comes to a head under the recent order Judge Pritchard
J_ of the United States circuit court in North Carolina suspend
ing pendente lite the 2}£ cent passenger rate law. The validity
of that order and the power of the federal court to suspend or set
aside a. state statute were and. are hotly contested by the governor
and other local authorities;' and threats were made of proceedings
for contempt of court on one side and on the other that the court's
.order would not be obeyed; The parties : to the : controversy, how
ever, appear to have arrived -at. a more sane state of mind and
will thrash out the dispute in peaceful fashion by resort to the
United States supreme court.
This promises to be a leading case on the powers and duties
of the states that now lack definition in so many important par
ticulars. Some nine months ago Secretary Root delivered a remark
able address, in which he said that if the states continued to" neglect
their powers and duties the federal government must step into
the breach. During the delivery . of that speech a Vigorous dissent
was made by J. P. Morgan and other financial and transportation
magnates who were present. The period since that day has been
marked by a remarkable renewal of activity by the state r. legisla
tures in the matter of railroad regulation. Two cent passenger
HARD TO PLEASE
EDITORIAL PAGE
rate bills have been enacted in more thana dozen states and others
have put demurrage laws'- on' tHeir- statute books. When Secretary
Root spoke it seemed as if the states' had', surrendered altogether"
to the ' federal : government the duty of regulating the railroads".'
Morgan and .Harriman warmly resent the federal activity in this
regard, and as the inaction *of the states suited them very well;
they expressed open -disapproval of what they described, as "Root ! s
revolutionary ~ doctrine."-" :- :_ x :> • ;je .. : v.C .v "
They are hard to satisfy. : Now that the; states have - asserted
their powers the that the federal jurisdicion has
been invaded. f The' suits brought in the North Carolina federal
court are instituted by the Southern railway,. of .which: J. P. Mor

THE perplexities of the commanding officer at the -Presidio
of Monterey are not singular. They are, indeed, such as. have
pursued the authorities of every garrison town and post since'
the army canteen was abolished. A measrure promoted by well
meaning people in the cause of temperance, it has, become a cause
of drunkenness, with attendant evils of an even more serious sort.
Colonel Mail's' has his . hands full with the frowsy fringe of so called
"soldiers^' clubs" that infest the outskirts 'of the Presidio of Mon
terey. General Funston has constant trouble of the same nature
with the doggeries that line the approaches to ; the Presidio of
San Francisco.
Harpers Weekly- reviews the history of niilitary and naval
policy in this regard, dueto a mistaken idea of human nature, as it
finds manifestations in soldiers and sailors: >\;--
John Long pursued -the idea a little further. It had long been the
custom in the navy .to give the sailors beer at one of their meals. John
Long forbade it. The consequence was not circumnavigation; it was
drunkenness. When themen: got shore leave they -drank: enough to last
themfor a good while, and they; didn't return to the ship; they were returned
to it in bundles. A like result vfollowed'the. abolition of 'the rig"ht to sell
wineS and beef in the army canteens: Since then the sides of streets leading
to army posts have been lined with rum shops, while the middle _of the
thoroughfares has been decorated with intoxicated United States uzt !prms. ;
Colonel Maus has requested the authorities, of Monterey?. to
give his men protection from these birds of prey, but .we have
little confidence in this resort. > T ou can drive out human nature
with a pitchfork, but it will -return in far worse shape. Give the
men their beer and their light wines under a wise supervision, for
otherwise they will go outside- for whisky 6t rum or worse.
