Good Work for Public Safety.

II the men who have been held by the
coroner's jury are in fact the ones re-
sponsble for causing the death the other
night of Charles Satterfield, who was kill
ed by a motor car near the Pennsylvania
avenue bridge, the District police are en-
titled to high praise for their promptness
and skill i'm tracing the offenders. The
case greatly shocked the local public
man was hit by an automobile at night
and those who were driving the car paid
no attention to him. speeding away in
the darkness and leaving him to die. 1t
seemed at first a hopeless task to trace
and identify the motor party, but judging
from the proceedings at the coroner's in
quest yesterday this has been done with
little loss of time. The Importance Of
this proceeding cannot be overestimated
II Is vitally essential to the public safety
that motorists should be made to appreci-
ate their responsibilities and held to a
reckoning for the consequence of danger
Gus speed in the streets. While 1t Is con-
ceivable that the persons whose car
struck Satterfield the other night were
unaware of the mishap. yet it is by no
means probable that this was the case.
The chances are overwhelming that the
man was seen and that it was known
that he was hit, and that the car was
speeded away I'm an endeavor to escape
detection and possible punishment II

The Old-Time Persuader.

Oh. don't you miss the fellow
With the disposition mellow
Who had one little trick that made the
world go like a song.
No matter what his mission,
With his pleasant disposition
He bred CHEEKY confidence that nothing
could go wrong.
For he'd bring to each occasion
Such ? sociable persuasion
That your crouch. however mighty, could
not carry very far;
For his way was so bcguiling
That you'd soon reflect the smiling
He brought to bear as affably he said,
Have a Cigar.
The weed was often bitter
And you yearned to be gutter:
But you puffed away and wouldn't hurt
his feelings for the earth.
For the vspors upward flowing
Were like the clouds they're blowing
When Indians smoke the peace pipe and
pow-wow for all they're worth.
His genial mood controlled you
And YOU listened while he told YOU
About his goods. At selling things he
surely was a star:
And his powers energetic
And amazingly magnetic
Seem, largely. to arise from that one
phrase, Have Cigar

Mr.. wilson and Aguinaldo.

Aguinaldo redivivus. He sees in Mr..
Wilson's election immediate independ-
ence for the Philippines and ten thou
sand paraders in Manila and twenty
thousand gathered to hear addresses are
hearteneG by the same notion.
Is the notion justifiedo Does the dem
ocratic victory signify any such thing?
How many men who supported Mr.. Will
son for President gave a thought on
election day TO the Philippine question?
How many delegates to the Baltimore
convention who threw their hats into the
air when the pla tform was Proclaimed
knew or cared W at it contained about
the future of our far eastern possessic ms ?
So few in either case that the number Is
negligible. The Philippines did not figure
in the contest, either for the Baltimore
nomination. CT later, at all.
Yet here we see the opponents in the
islands of American rule constituting Mr.
Wilson's election as triumph for scut-
tie, and demonstrating to hasten it. They
want an independent government imme
diately If not sooner and with banners
and bands and marching clubs. red fire
and red eloquence. are nudging the victor
before he has had time to take Office
While he is meditat;ng about minor mat
ters, like the tariff, the trusts. the cabi-
net. and an extra session of Congress-
the impatient little brown brothers break
in with their appeal
Well. what is Mr.. Wilson going to do
about it? How does lie read that
plank of the platform? He does not re-
gard the Baltimore delverance as PRO
gram" He has not accepted any part of
it definitely except that feature declaring
in general terms against the unworthi-
ness of the republican party. He does
not believe that protective tariff is un-
constitutional. He is silent on the SUBJ
ject of single term for the President of
the United States. He is as indefinite as
to policy for dealing with the trusts as
he well could be.
But here is demand that he say some
thing about a matter fraught with dan
ger TO him, his party and the country.
The Filipinos. with their famous agitator
leading, are parading for Immediate in
dependence" They want the United
States to pull up stakes and get out.
They declare themselves ready to take
over and conduct their own affairs, and
point to the Baltimore platform as to the
chart for American duty
Is Mr.. Wilson for scuttle? VIII he in
augurate his administration with scut-
tie a feature of his program? Will he
convert the democratic party into an
Aguinaldo Aid Society? Will he cap the
smaller navy record of his party in Con-
gress with a withdrawal Of ships from
Philippine waters? II does not seem
likely. but in some way something to the
point should be said by or for him on the
subject in time to head off what If al
lowed to proceed unchecked may prove
an expensive misapprehension for us and
them by the more turbulent portion of the
Filipino people.

body leaning in the direction OF the BAL
timore platform, but will the democrats
of the Senate acquiesce? Whatever passes
the Senate must poll every democratic
vote in the chamber.
There are protection democrats In the
Senate. just as twenty years ago, and
probab bly, as many. With them the tariff
is a local issue. Their constituents are
profiting by protection, and want the
policy continued. Mr.. Bryan's views
about the eonstitutionality of tnat policy
are not valued at bawbee by them. They
know what has been good for them, and
want more Of it.
Twenty years ago Mr.. German was the
democratic leader in the Senate. He was
business man and knew whae business
desired. and saw that business got more
than it had obtained in the House. He
was an avowed protectionist, though no
defender of the protection law then on
the books. He favored revision, but on
lines recognizing protection as both con-
stitutional and wise. He got a good deal
the cross-firing between the House and
Senate, the democratic party and the
country suffered appallirgly. The party
a souphouse basis.
Today Mr. Martin is the democratic
leader in the Senate Will he remain so
after March A. He is both lawyer and
a business man. and ranks high in both
aeids. He fas voted for protective duties.
and on that account is under charges by
the Bryan:tes. who rate him as a protec-
ZIONIST and metropolitan. If he retains
the Senate leadership will it be possible
for him to work in harmony with the
House leadership on the tariff? If not. by
organizing the protection democrats of
the chamber he will be able to force his
and their views on whatever tariff revi-
sion is attempted. Mr.. Martin on March
will enter on his fourth consecutive
term in the Senate, and has not only
ability but very large experience as equip
ment for his senatorial activity.

A Remarkable War.

The war i'm Turkey will probably become
of historical Importance because of the
final breakup of the Turkish empire In
Europe. but beyond that il will be nota-
BILE for its brevIty and sanguinary char
acter. From the outset the Balkan allies
have forced the fighting at an unprece-
dented speed. Their campaign has been
approached In modern years for vigor and
Sharpness of attack only by the Japanese
assault upon the Russians. They have
fought with almost the inpetuous smart
Ness of acton OF "A semi-organiZei
guerrilla force, giving the Turks prac-
tica'y no time for recuperation taking
them by surprise at point after point
and overcoming by their enterprise the
advantage which naturally lies with the
defensive army. doubtless when the
record of this remarkable campaign has
been written it will be found that at least
the Buisarians and the Servians have vir-
tually set a new pace in warfare. Within
a month from the first blows OF the war
the Bulgarian army is at the very gates
of constantincple, having conquered the
Turks in numerous battles and sweeping
over fortifcations that were SUPP osed to
interpose an impossible barrier to hos
tile advance upon the capital. In every
department it appears, the allies have
been the superiors of the Turks. but par
ticularly in point of supplies. Though
constituting ver!table flying column. the
Bulgarian force has been kept provisioned
adequately from the beginning while the
Turks have suffered severely from in
SUFFICIENT munitions and food. Superior
generalship is In evidence at every stage
of this campaign on the side of the allies
and whatever may be the political out
come OF the war the military prestige OF
the Turk has been destroyed, so that no
longer will he be the buaaboo of civiliza-
ton that he has remained Tor years

The Third Term and the Second,

From the Chicago Record Herald
There is an anti-third term organiZa-
ton in the country. and it announces
that the work of putting through an
amendment making any kind of third
term constitutionally impossible is to
be carried on with vigor. On the other
hand, democratic politicians, with 1916
In mind, are already beginning to dis
courage the idea of limiting the Presi-
dent to a single term. in spite of the
declaration of the Baltimore platform in
favor of a single term. Observers in
Washington predict the failure Of any
effort to deal constitutionally with the
question of presidential terms.
