While no one expected that because the railway executives rejected his| plan for ending the shopmen's strike President Harding would “lay down” on the job, it ls a matter for public gratification and encouragement that new efforts are &0 soon under way. Thé coming to Washington of B. M, Jewell, head of the shoperafts unions, | and William Johnston. international | president of the machinists, may not be productive of immediate results, but so long as they are in touch with the government in intimete corference there is reason to hope for early and belpful developments. That the situation will not admit of prolonged delay is evidenced by the incregsing restlessness of the train- 1 3 men and the request made by repre-iy,,. for any enterprise of this char- sentatives of three of the “big four” brotherhoods for a conference with the President. The trainmen complain that the equipment they are required to operate is becoming “dangerous and unsafe,” and they also resent the pres- ence around the shops of armed guards, claiming they have been sub- Jected to insults and even to assaults. How much foundation there is for these complaints is difficut to deter- mine, but imaginary grievances some- times are as hard to handle as real ones, and should it develop that there 18 danger of the brotherhoods joining the shopmen in their strike it would create a situation so menacing that the government could hardly escape v of taking over the rail- tep which It is fervently ay be avoided. but which will ot be shirked if there is no other way 0 keep the trains moving. It is a time for wise and cool coun- sel. and all recriminations should be put aside. However much opinion may iduring the war period and since. Dur- ito cost $3.740,596. is described as easily identified, having a conspicuous stripe around the body, initlals on the doors and other partic- ular marks of individuality. If it was stolen by a professional thief it will probably be changed in appearance, but the maker's numbers will remain. The public little appreciates the skill with which stolen cars are being traced. The other day in this city a car was found and identified that had been stolen at least two years before in a northern city. and an arrest was made on a charge of the theft. Motor stealing has become so fre- quent that it has been called one of the leading American industries. Broadcasting, hcwever, may cut the profits of this business. The courts should give the highest possible penal- ties In all cases of proved gulilt, to dis- courage & crime that menaces hun- dreds of thousands of people. The Anacostia fark Project. Maj. Tyler, the engincer officer. in} charge of the Anacostia river develop- ment, reports that the work on that ! project is, after ten years of opera- tion, approximately half completed. The cost to date has been $1,500,000. Had the funds been more liberally pro- vided frcm year to year this project would have been much farther ad- vanced, for no delaying difficulties have been encountered. The allot- ments, however, have been reduced ing the past fiscal year only $173,167 was expended. The entire project is At the present rate, theréfore, it would seem, ten more years at least will be required to finish this work, so important to the hegth of Washington as well as to its permanent develop- ment as the nation’s city. That will make two full decades and perhaps more, two-thirds of a generation—too acter. There is no economy in such protraction of procedure, no saving of money, but rather a loss through waste. In a project such as this a certain lapse of time is always essential to permit settling of the alluvial matter dredged from the stream and deposited on the banks. But this need does not Jjustify a stretch of years. The delays in the Anacostia improvement have not been due to this factor. but to the disposition to cut items of public ex- penditure in one direction while they are belng increhsed in others. When the Anacostia improvement is completed Washington will be without, approach or comparison the supreme park city of the world. This consum- mation should not be delayed beyond the lives of the majority of those who saw the work started. Yet that is a danger unless the rate of annual ap- propriations is increased. With little doubt the whole project could be now differ as to the wisdom of the rlllway‘ executives in rejecting the Harding plan, the fact remains that they have rejected it, and some other way must be found. No one disputes that the |y jaet bureau will approve and Con- executives were within thefr rights in | oo vote a matertally larger ap- the course they took, Just as the union | ;oprigtion for the next fiscal year, on miners were within their rights when they rejected the President's plan for ending the mine strike, and until the law makes it more specific where pri- vate rights end and public rights begin the exercise of private rights is a factor which must be reckoned with. But there is increasing evidence that in both the rail and mine strikes both sides are coming to recognize that pub- | had, plain and easy sailing. Me necessity must and will be served, and in this fact there is hope. Two Tennessee Nominations. Two nominations made in Tennessee Thursday possess more than ordinary inter for the country. One is that of Cordell Hull for his | old place in the House. He was one of the victims of the republican | cyclone of two years ago. Since then | he has heen chosen chairman of the | democratic national committee and be- come a national figure. If elected in November and his party carries the! House, Mr. Hull, it is believed, will be @ candidate for Speaker with good prospects of success. He is an expe- rienced legislator, fully competent for the duties of the chair. The other nomination is that of; Finis J. Garrett. who, in the absence | of Mr. Kitchin, has been acting in the | capacity of minority, leader of the ! present House, and earning credit for himself. He, too, is an experienced | legislator. and equal to any duties| that might be imposed on him on Capi- | tol Hill. He is under discussion for majority leader of the next House in case of democratic control. Would two such important places | be likely to g0 to the same state? They might. If the democrats take charge on the eve of the next presi- dential campaign they will have need of the best organization of the House | it is possible to effect. The slogan will be, Put none but experienced men op guard. The work in hand will cover many things, and the party’s presi- dential prospects will be brightened or | dulled as that work may be well or ill performed. —_———— Trotsky's announcements suggest {his services as a political shepherd ithey are organizing for such an as- finished within five years it funds were voted. That should be the goal, and it is hoped that the War Depart- ment, under which this matter directly lies, will recommend and that the a scale to insure the completion of the work at the earliest time possible. The Virginia Campaign. Interest in the Virginia campaign centers in the ninth congressional district. Elsewhere in the state the democratic party has, and has long Its can- didates for Congress, House or Sen- ate. and its state tickets have been elected without trouble. The ninth district has been the fly in the ointment. That has remained republican againsf all efforts to change the slate. The ninth is the Slemp district. Its leading republican is an astute poli- tician, who connects influentially with the business world, and thus has| glven his constituents the benefit of and his advice as a successful man | of business. This year Mr. Slemp has taken him- self out of the equation. His health is not good and his party’s might be better. So he declined renomination and a new republican leader has been chosen. The democrats will assume with| safety that the new leader does not | possess Mr. Slemp's strength, and so ! sault on the republican works as they have not made for years. Mr. Swnn-l son advises this course,and his friends | will be in charge of the campaign. l The public, in the attention given to | Virginia, will keep its eye on the ninth district. = —_——— Great respect for public opinion is asserted by both sides to every Jon- troversy, but the public has to wait patiently for the opportunity to ex- press its opinién with any great de- gree of force. ———————— His influence in restraining fares is always referred to by admirers of Mayor Hylan of New York. He has been eminently successful in utilizing the street car as a band wagon. that Lenin is well enough to sit up and take notice, but not sufficiently strong to assume the political re- sponsibilities now presenting them- selves. —_————— Occasionally the primaries are so hotly contested that it becomes diffi- cult for the losers to 1ine up afterward and congratulate the winners. Broadcasting Motor Thefts. A valuable automobile was stolen in this city the other day, end within & few hours a radio broadcast report had been sent forth from Washington giving a full description of the car. ‘This is an innovation in police methods that may make the game of motor stealing much less profitable and more dangerous. Indeed, radio broadcasting may become a police ally in all lines of roguecatching. The broadcast 'voice reaches simultaneously thou- sands of ears. Police stations hooked up with radio systems will get vivid reports of thefts. It is possible with this method, if the’ owners of lost cars make immediate reports to headquar- !iters in their own towns; to spread the slarm over a radius of several hundred A strong stand for irreconcilability ‘was made by James Reed in Missouri. The Ford Boom. i The Ford boom may be booming, but the sound is certainly not deafen- ing. The people are not rising, and in their vocal might demanding the nomination of Mr. Ford for President. Mr. Ford's politics is sometimes mentioned. Is he a republican, a dem- ocrat or an independent? ‘The republican presidential nomina- tion for 1924 is not now open to specu- lation. Mr’ Harding is doing so well, opiniop is general that he will lead again. His party's rule of conduct warrants the expectation. Speculation about the democratic Mr. Ford's name. The names of Cox, McAdoo, Bryan, Underwood, Pome- rene and Reed are suggested, but Mr. Ford's name is overlooked. He can hardly be accounted a national demo- cratic quantity. All talk about a new party—an in- dependent party—plays around the proposition that if it 's it will be formed of disgruntled republicans and disgruntled democrats, and thus call politics by Woodrow Wilson, who upon a short acquaintance suggested to the famous manufacturer that he stand for the Senate. Since then Mr. Ford’s name has frequently figured in goseip about office, and now, in a mild way, I8 occaslonally figuring In gossip about the presidency. But particulars are lacking. ————eee——— The Wets and the Saloon. The wet strategy in the campaign will be to bear down heavily on the saloon; to concede every point made by the drys against that institution; to add, if possible, to the strictures passed upon it by the drys, and pledge the whole wet influence against the saloon's return. % But the wets must explain how light wines and beer, if permitted again, are to be retalled. The de- mand, particularly for beer, will be heavy. In the wide-open days it was a most popular tipple. It largely ex- plained the popularity of the saloon. The foaming stein more than the whisky glass drew, and held, men together. The name saloon, as all are aware, came to connote in the days of Its existence something repulsive and de- moralizing. It encouraged, if it did not originate, the treating habit, which went far and rapidly to the emptying of men's pockets and the befuddling of their brains. It was a softer word than barroom or doggery, but it meant the same thing. If beer and light wines are to re- turn, how will it be possible to bar the way to the saloon? They must have a habltation, and it must be ordered so as to promote their sale and comfortable consumption. It will matter little ‘what name is attached. In‘the nature of things it must pos- sess all the features that entered into the furnishing of the saloon, and so play the part of a saloon in the every- day life of the country. —_————— — Borers. At present a good deal of what is known as “boring from within"” is in progress. It is observable in both of the old parties. There are republicans chafing under their restrictions. They are not in po- sitfon to break outright with their party affiliations, but would be glad of an opportunity. They are really try- ing to make an opportunity. They are boring from within, in the hope of making republicanism untenable. Their hearts and minds are set on 1924. The presidency is the prize. ‘There are democrats of the same | stripe. They are boring from within. They are moving with caution from necessity. If they thought it prudent they would raise the standard of re- volt right now. They are hoping it will be safe in two years, and if it is they will be heard from then. If the republican borers and the democratic borers succeed, can they unite upon a platform and a policy of spolls distribution? They are not in action for their health. Some are men of demonstrated ebility and boundless ambition, but have not been able to realize upon their talents in their present affiliations. The game is interesting from all angles, and, slyly as it is being played at a time of much distraction, is not escaping attention. ———————— Government ownership of the rail- roads and coal mines would make the work of framing party platforms at national conventions even more in- tricate than before. The possibility of issues arising from industrial con- ditions is irfinite. ————— A Paris griminal smoked a cigar on his way to the guillotine; on the theory, perhaps, that a man who has smoked a European cigar to the bitter end feels that there can be nothing worse to fear. —_———— Few European countries are so de- pleted that they cannot send over a few opera singers or ballet dancers for the improvement of American art. ————— The railroad executives, having started a certain train of thought, insist on putting it through accerding to schedule. It has been stated that nothing in{ this world can be absolutely perfect; not even a tariff bill. SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A Summer Day. I wished that life were all A summer day.

President Harding's espousal of the seniority rights cause of the striking railway shopmen meets with little approval from the newpapers of the rallway executives {n their position that the men who came into the serv- ice as strikebreakers shall have the promises made to them when they were employed carried out to the let- ter. Some papers sympathize with the strikers, and express the hope that the Labor Board will be afforded an opporfunity to come to their as- sistance. This great majority, how- ever, hold that restoration of senior- ity rights to the men who struck serious trouble in the event of future strikes of this character. A few hold that the Labor Board should be al- {lowed to settle the question in any way It sees fit. “in refusing to grant the strikers senority,” the Brooklyn Eagle lieves, “the railroads are actuated by the desire to penalize the unions.if they cannot wreck them. The gov- ernment has not hesitated to decide the priority of coal shipments, and Is in a position to exercise effective control over all freight and passen- ger business. If the existing emer- gency justifies such drastic action it would ‘seem that the Labor Board priority of workers." In the view of the Knoxville Senti- nel “the irony of the situation is that the senfority issue 'has arisen since the strike was called and grew out of | the strike condition.” while the S { Paul Dispatch points out that “re toration of senfority rights would mean the immediate discharge of thousands of new employes to make room for the strikers. If such a con- cession should be made to the strikers it would be extremely difficult or im- possible to hire new men in any fu- ture strike or to induce any 61d em- ployes to remain at work. Every strike would be 100 per cent effective at once if the workmen had no fears of losing a preferential right to work. Every strike would be won automati- cally as soon as declared. There would be every chance to win by a strike and no chance to lose. The difference between such a condition and soviet rule would exist only in name.” . ‘While there should be exceptions in the case of men who did not pa ticlpate in the strike, whose absolyte niority cannot be challenged, the New York Post belleves that “the new employes, the strikebreakers, can certainly be satisfled without arguing th the rail- roads on record as e considered mere absentees, but as having definitely left the roads’ service, and that any man entering the service would automatically ac- uire seniority rights over any one, 'ormer ‘émploye Or not. who came in after hg}n. The pledge ought to kept on ti rounds of national ex- ediency. r troubles are not go- ing to end for all time with the set- tlement of this one controversy, and it would be mighty foolish for the nation to place itself beyond power of convincing appeal in future crises to its reserve labor supply to com in {nna help it keep transportation ra ‘%lm ar views are held by the Wall Street Journal. which asserts that “when & contract or a promise is mede no Pr;llllnnl has the right to us! break {t. s men refuse to ave dealings with the welcher.

Disap- pointments assume greafer propor- tlons. Longings are more intense. Yesterday, as I was strolling through the southwestern part of the city, my attention was attracted to a little, ragged, dirty-faced youngster of five or six years or thereabout. At the edge of the sidewalk was a man with a little wagon. He w a vender of ‘“‘snowballs”—those conc tions made of shaved ice and highly colored flavors. Raspberry, orange, lemon, chocolate, lime and humerous other flavors were shown in a tempt- ing array of bottles. As the vender cried his wares, proclaiming to the world that these globules of frigidity were to be had for the sum of 3 cents, the shoulders of the urchin sagged as if with extreme sorrow. In his big, velvety eyes one saw the very essence of desire. But, alas! his grimy little hand contalned but a solitary penny. Oh! irony of fate— the tempting morsel 80 near and yet so unobtainable. The next instant there swung around the corner a fairly well groomed young man. His attention was.caught and held. He grinned. An instant later his face robered. The sight had probably brought back to him visions of his early childhood and he inquired of the kid just what was the matter. There leapt into the eyes of the youngster a hope—a hope perhaps forlorn, but a hope. Here might be a good Samaritan. It was barely nossible that the man would buy a “snowball” and would sell him a third of it. Upon being questioned, the youngster rather hesitatingly frills—he was 2 cents shy of bis} heart's desire. The man looked at the kid, at the “snowball,” and then his guze appeared to travel far, far! bevond the little near-tragedy that was at his side. his pocket. brought out a coin and bought four “snowballs.” The k!d's| eves grew wide with astonishment. | Was it possible there was a person in | the world so opulent, so rich that he could buy four of these .frozen | daintles at one time? You could ! hear fissuing from his thin little throat a sigh. An instant later the sound was turned into a gurgle, a minlature diapason of ecstacy, for | the man had thrust the four balls | of highly calored shaved ice toward | him. A choked murmur of thanks, a | smile of a good deed done. The man | passed on, and as he turned the cor- | ner there came floating back through i the ether the strains of that beauti- ful air from “Babes in Toyland,” the words of which are about as follows: “Toyland, Toyland, little girl and boy‘ land, once you pass its border you can | ne‘er return again.” for the resulting effect upon the in- vestors who have furnished the money to bulld and equip the roads, look at Russia. What are Russian railroad stocks and bonds worth? Re- storing &eniority would be like sow- ing dragons’ teeth. The price is too great.” Recognizing that every individual “there exists a broad middle course of action in the way of settlement. Many of the old places have not been' filled. ~Many of the old places have been taken by men who are in- competent and would not remain long there anyhow. Broad grounds | thus exist for working out the issue: of seniority rights as between the others at work and the returning strikers. It; is a judiclal question that can be set- tled In Teason and satisfaction, as| through a reference to the Labor Board.” The El Paso Times is convinced that | ithe insistence of labor leaders on {questions such as this “is driving us nearer to the adoption of a large body of strike laws and judicial precedent, and not improbably to the establish- ment of industrial courts to care for | such matters. If society cannot pro- | tect itself from the rapacity of labor | leaders in any other way it will do this. But if it ever should come to| that, we don't need two guesses to tell where strikers in a seniority rights controversy like the present one would get off.” In the opinion of the New Orleans Times-Picayune the contention th: the roads can discharge new men “is ! not easily answered. It may be aug-) gested that breaking faith with the few for the good of the many would be a payable price for peace. But can assurance be given that peace is buy- able at the price?” The Minneapolis | Journal recalls that the strikers had warning of what to expect along this, very line, as “the rail managements even set the dates publicly after which these rights would be forfeited by those who did not return to work, and, in addition, “abolition of senior- ity,” in the opinion of the Philadel- | phia Public Ledger, “is a measure of | discipline. The roads have taken a stand on it. What, they ask, about the remaining and ragged r.mnlnl-‘ of lingering discipline on American | roads, if the rallways must take de- fiant men back?” 1 wear coats In torrid became of the shirt spread before the war? No matter how wide the agitation or the discussion of the abolition of the coat, man comes back to it and offers no explanation. Is he such a slave to custom, to fashion, that he cannot bear to be different? Yet he is all the time hlc:iplng on woman's slavery to the mode. An Indianapolis man offers what may Dbe the real answer to this clinging to the coat. Everybody knows the mys- tery of the contents of the small boy's pockets. This Hoosler suggests that man never outgrows that habit and that he sticks to his coat simply because he has to have pockets to carry all the junk he thinks he wants with him. ‘Woman - has handbags that carry the few articles she deems essential.
