The Car Strike Evil.

Despite the presence OF state troops IN
Columbus. where a street railway strike
has been In progress for some time, the
pubic authorities seem unable to MAIN
tain order. Owing TO political considera-
tons the troops have not been used with
vigor. and the consequence Is the occa-
sior1al renewal OF rioting. with bloodshed.

Apart from its indisputabfe political sig
nificance the meeting of the conservation
congress at ST. Paul today Is an event
Of the utmost Importance. 1t Is an ex-
preston OF a national demand for q more
sensible policy In the use and preservation
Of our American resources. II is BUSH
ness meeting. designed to direct the
popular energies evoked in the interest
OF intelligent conservation.
Much has been written and said about
conservation CT strictly academic and
somewhat hyperbolical character In
certain quarters the cry for conservation
has perhaps sounded hystertcal. But IT
obviously needed the loud protests and
thu vehement prophecies of disaster to
come 10 arouse the public conscience and
70 lead to rational reforms. The country
b now fully awakened to the fact that
there has been great waste In the past.
that certain fundamental laws have been
violated wantonly. that we as people
have been living prodigally and that the
day of reckoning which in our conceit
and hnprovidence we have been prone
to forget IS not necessarily In the 1lm
distance affecting only a negligible pos
terity.
The conservation movement is now on
solid foundation. II is substantial.
practical policy. approved by all but
small group Of interests unable to adjust
TO the changed conditions of public
thought. There is little danger Of a lapse
10 the old way OF waste. The need now Is
to legislate wisely and broadly and to
administer tsdtciousiy TO the end that
we shall use our resources. develop our
power making forces. economize intel
ligently. plant providently and hold
firmly to a policy OF business manage
ment In our national and state affairs.
The main issue at ST. Paul appears 10
be that Of state OF federal control over
the public hands The states OF the west
WHARF such lands still remain unused and
undtsfrfhured desire 10 secure their man
aaemsnt. but there is but little reason
TO look for a change In the national
policy In this respect. Whatever the con-
greas 1t st. Paul may declare on this
subject. II will remain for the federal
legislature here at Washington 10 enact
the laws governing these great spaces
and these resources. and 1t Is TO be doubt
ed that Congress win consent TO so rad
ical IN alteration as that which some OF
the westerners now demand.
II is unfortunate that conservation has
come to play a part IN our politics. II is a
principle upon which all classes OF citi-
Gems should be able to unite. II there have
been Observation-Disclosures of purpose on the
part Of sincere friends OF this movement
the st. Paul meeting may possibly clear
them away. It would be lamentable on
the other hand If an attempt to utilize
the desire of the people TO conserve their
resources should be made by politicians
to discredit individuals or groups or to
forward personal interests.

exact issues, animated only by . wish to

Those who order a street railway strike
know perfectly well in advance that they
are summoning the forces OF destruction.
They know that the street railway COM
pany viii for the protection OF Its prop
erty and franchise and for the serving or
the public endeavor to continue to operate
cars. They know that the only means to
operate cars is to employ people who do
not belong TO the organization OF which
the strikers are members. They know
that in such circumstances riots are In
evitable unless the public officials do their
duty with more than usual promptness
and severity and accord TO the car-rfding
public and to the holders of the fran
chises granted in due form by city coun-
ellis and by legislatures the protection
which the law assumes 10 be the right of
all engaged In the business of serving the
people.
In almost every street railway strike
there is a period OF bluffing. when the
public authorities make show Of deter
rnination TO prevent disorder. Experience
has taught the crowd that 1t can go
certain distance in the way OF defiance
without suffering more than slight In
juries Shrewdly calculating mob leaders
appeal to the unreasoning impulse OF GER
tain classes Of people to join a disturb
ance, and after starting trouble slip quiet
iy aside to leave the comparatively in
nocent victims of their suggestion to pay
the penalty I'm cracked heads and occa-
sionally in death.
The true remedy for such conditions Is
to impose upon organizations which deal
with the public services q heavy respon-
sibility for the maintenance Of order. II
men wish to cease working 1t Is their
privilege. But no man has the right to
undertake to paralyze q city's transporta-
ton system. to deprive the people of the
use of street cars because he cannot come
to terms with his employer regarding
wages and hours and conditions of work.
When that principle is written into the
laws and enforced thoroughly and prompt-
ly there will be peace in our cities. and
not until then.

Providence Regulates Billboards.

From the Boston Common.
Providence has just availed itself OF
the new Rhode Island law empowering
cities to regulate outdoor advertising
The Providence ordinance prohibits
within 200 feet of a public or parochial
school signs advertising intoxicants
The chief Of police is made censor for
all outdoor advertising in streets. or In
street cars. and proposed signs or
cards must be submitted to him In ad-
vance. There is a right Of appeal to
the city council. No billboard Is to be
built more than ten feet high on q
building roof, nor more than twenty
feet long, nor without leaving space
enough to allow firemen to pass around
without danger Of falling of. Ground
billboards are to be set back from the
street and are to be at least two feet
above the ground A fine of $40 a day
for violations is provided.

Two years ago Gov. Prouty had $4,000
majority. That was obtained with the
aid of the excitement that always at
tends campaigning in a presidential year.
Voters can be rallied then more easily
and In larger numbers than between
times. AS the presidency overshadows
all other Offices. a presidential year over
shadows all other years. This year the
presidency is not Immediately In the
scale.
And yet, In a number of states, 1912
Is figuring in the present local calcula-
tons. In Ohio, Indiana. New York and
New Jersey this Is distinctly true. Har-
mon men and Marshall men. Gaynor
men and Woodrow Wilson men. are

will brighten amazingly. So that, In a
measure. this Vermont election will have
. bearing on the presidential contest, too.
II may be said that the Maine voters
have by this time made up their minds;
that il Is too late for the Vermont re-
turns. whatever they may be, TO influence
the situation. Not necessarily. The
time Is short. but waverers are often af-
fected at the last moment And that
there are waverers in Maine is indicated
by the uncertainty that attaches to all
the news describing the existing condi-
lions. In politics many men study the
actions of the cat, and jump with that
hgurative feline. They want to be on
the winning side. and expert guessers
among them usually land there.
