More Rear-End Smashes.

More street car collisions are occurring
in Washington as a result of careless op-
erations. Last night at Delaware avenue
and c street northeast a Capital Trac-
ton car ran into Washington Railway
and Electric car, and in the confusion
which followed a second rear-end collision
was caused. Some of the passengers We're
badly shaken up and one was somewhat
seriously injured. This is the third in
stance in a few weeks OF rear-end
smashes on local street car lines Are
the public authorities going to continue
to depend upon company regulations and
administration in the matter of control
ling the movements of the street cars
with reference to this particular risk?
1t is evident that the company rules and
safeguards are not dependable. When
slippery tracks are blamed it is alto
gether probable that there has been lack
Of sand for emergency braking and that
the headway has been cut down to too
narrow limit in consequence of uneven
control of the track use. Meanwhile the
safety of passengers is endangered and IL
is matter Of good fortune that several
deaths have not lately occurred in conse-
quence of this condition.

Milk Producers and Public Health.

An official Of the Department OF Agri-
culture. just returned from a meeting of
the Milk Producers Association at Chi
cago. tells an interesting story OF prog
ress in that business toward what prom
ises purer supply of milk for the public
and without lessening. but on the con-
trary increasing. the prosperity of the
producers. DIR. Melvin reports that the
dairymen of the country are realizing that
their interest is advanced by the adop-
ton of scientific measures based upon
the hygienic laws. There il really COM
munity of interest in this matter of the
healthfulness of the milk supply. An
tagonism between milk producers and
health officials is bound to result ulti-
mately in loss to the former. The laws
and regulations, while drastic In some
cases. are designed primarily to prevent
the spread of disease and will be enforced
even at heavy cost to the producers.
Now it has been demonstrated that the
dairymen can take advantage of scien-
tifc methods not merely to keep their

shut off, and cannot resist much longer.
A Greek naval squadron has occupied the
Island of Tenedos, at the mouth Of the
Dardanelles, an important position IN the
event of operations in these waters.
Nothing more has been heard for sew
eral days regarding the question OF In
tervention by the powers. and apparently
the larger nations, perhaps owing 10 the
impossibility of an agreement upon pro-
gram, have decided to allow the allles 70
drive the Turks into a position Where
they will be compelled to open direct ne
gotations for peace Indications are ap-
pearing that the allies will demand the
entire removal of Turkish authority from
Europe, and this will necessarily precipi-
tate the troublesome question OF sover-
eighty over the European possessions OF
the Ottoman empire. Greece has for many
years cast longing eyes upon ancient
Macedonia, which includes the province
of Saloniki, while Bulgaria is doubtless
at this time hoping to gain possession of
eastern Rumelia. Servia, in the event OF
a partition of Turkish territory, would
probably aspire to the provinces of Ko-
sovo and Monastir, with access to the
Adriatfc Montenegro's military opera
tions suggest a desire to expand in the
northeast through the absorption of Novi-
bazar and in the south the acquisition of
Scutari. In any event the disposition of
the province of Adrianople and particu-
larly the peninsula of Constantinople will
be sure to give the most trouble. No sin
gle Balkan state can expect to gain a
foothold in the territory which commands
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. An
international protectorate over that rem
nant of Turkish possessions is almost GER
tain to follow any partition of the Euro
pean area of the sultans empire.

Making Wilson Cabinets.

Beware of the enterprise of the amateur
political Joiner just at present. He is
busy constructing nicely jointed, tightly
glued handsomely enbellshed cabinets
for Gov. Wilson. No orders have been
given for the work, but he goes blithely
ahead nevertheless. Every four years this
happens No sooner is a President elected
than from all sides come suggestions of
names Political directories are searched
for material Every day brings new faces
upon the screen of possibilities" With
out any reference whatsoever to the poll
cies OF the newly elected President often
without regard for geographical consider
atoms, and with little thought for the ma
tional political problems, secretaries are
made in quantities This is a pleasant
diversion for everybody concerned. 1t
entertains the one who does it, fiatters
The people who are mentioned and it does
not erahaTrass the newly chosen executive.
II one would keep track of the names
proposed for the nine different cabinet
positions the list would probably include
eyc9v person Of the least prominence in
Congress every local leader of more than
pa-0ehial position, a good many tinan-
cIctz with democratic leanings and a
sprinkling Of angels both state and ma
tionaI in their givinss. In a way this en-
terprise IS helpful to the Presdent-to-be
for IL gives him the benefit OF the wide
range of proposals, for which he is IN no
wise responsible. and enables him TO
study public sentiment through the re-
sponses given to these suggestions. Gov.
Wilson Will do well to keep clippings of
an the publications bearing upon the
cabinet question. He win find them
mighty interesting reading later when he
has finally made his combination and sees
what might have happened.

The Local Business Prospect.

1t is evident from the interviews with
local commercial leaders and men of af-
fairs, which have appeared in The
Stars news columns, that they have
no apprehension of Tightening of
business conditions as an effect of the
election of Tuesday with the result
ing change of administration. Wash
ington no longer has reason to fear
the consequences of a shift in the presi-
dency, as it did in former times when ap-
pointments to office were governed by the
principle of spoils and not by merit and
efficiency. Under the civil service rules
there will be few changes in the depart
mental forces after the 4th of March
next, those being confined almost ex-
clusively to the higher chiefs, whose po-
sitions are of political nature and who
must be of the same faith and SYM
pathies as their chief in the White House.
A great body of the government workers
in this city will remain unaffected by the
change, and thus Washington. whose
prosperity in former times was badly
hurt by periodical and material shifts in
the population. will scarcely feel the
transfer from republican to democratic
rule. AS for the effect of changes of ma
tlOnai pOllCy, 1t Is entlIeIy uiilihtly tHdt
there will be any appreciable effect here.
Washington is slow to feel financial
disturbance that materially injuries other
cities. 1t is not dependent upon large
Industrial establishments for the welfare
Of the body of it's population. There are
comparatively slight fluctuations in the
supply of funds available for business
purposes, and no longer does such a mat
ter as a change of administration inf1u-
ence the confidence of merchants in the
ability of the people to continue their
purchases upon a normal scale or to meet
their obligations. AS regards material
prosperity, indeed. washington has no
reason to look for any setback or check
in consequence of the democratic victory
of Tuesday, whatever may be the pro-
gram Of that party with reference to
tariff or trusts or other matters which
more or less directly affect the personal
fortunes of the people.

Driving the Turk Into a Corner.

Each day brings additional evidence
that the position OF the Turks in practi-
cally every phase of the war is hopeless.
Blow after blow has been struck by the
irresistible Bulgarians in the province of
Adrianople, and the Turks have now been
driven back with tremendous losses to the
narrow peninsula at the eastern extrem-
ity of which lies Constantinople. The
latest report tells of a complete defeat
OF the Turkish army, with loss of 10000
men in killed and wounded, on the line of
battle between Serai and Tchorlu, lying
Immediately west OF the line of fortifica-
tions at Tchatalja, the last dependable
point of resistance betweenS the on-rush-
ing Bulgars and the capital. A flying col
unn has pushed around the Turkish left
flank toward Silivri, on the Sea of Mar
mora IL this movement can be main
tanned. the entire Turkish army is In
danger OF being cut off from Constanti-
nople and exposed TO annihiiation or cap
ture. In the west affairs are going quite
as badly Monastir has surrendered to
the Serbs, while the Greeks have ad-
vanced toward Saloniki, and the complete
investment of that city will probably fol-
low in a few days. Adrianople is entirely

The New House.

ANY trained politician. be he democrat
or republican, will say of the new House
that the majority is by far too large. Ii
will be unwieldly-hard to manage. For
real business ends and satisfactory re-
suits much smaller figure would serve
a better purpose. Overpowering advan-
1accs lead TO carelessness, and to the
forming of groups within the main group.
They beget factionism, and precipitate all
its attendant evils and complications.
But if the democrats suffer from that
embarrassment of riches they will profit
by all to be reasonably expected from
competent leadership. With Mr.. Clark
again Speaker. and Mr.. Underwood again
chairman of ways and means, experience
in cutting out and directing work should
count for much in the whole congress
stonal equation. They are old guides, and
know the way around.
Both are figuring in cabinet gossip, but
IL would be a misfortune for the democ-
racv should either countenance any such
suggestion. Mr.. Wilson in forming his
cabinet will have large field to choose
from. and may find good and competent
men in any section of the country But
no name on the roster of the new House
deserves to rank with that of Mr.. Clark
in connection with the speakership, and
none ranks with that of Mr.. Underwood
in connection with the floor leadership.
They are first, and the rest nowhere.
And we may all be certain that the two
men will remain where they now are
4 word of congratulation is likewise
due the republicans. Their titular and
real leader was saved from the wreck.
Mr.. Mann comes back, and will show
himself as alert in the next House as he
has shown himself in this. He is a thor
oughly competent legislator, and enjoys
general respect. His following will be
small, but large enough to call the yeas
and nays. and thus make the opposition,
for all it's bulk, toe the mark, and go on
record, name by name. All power to Mr..
Manns elbow. so that everything pro-
posed may be developed in it's true ma
ture.
Mr. Cannon was defeated. The House
and the country will miss him. He is a
first-class fighting man, of all-around
ability, and honest as daylight. He has
long been under fire, and for time un-
der a cross fire. But he has never
quailed, never stopped or crawled to con-
quer. In triumph or defeat he has al
ways carried himself man fashion, and
we shall see no change in him now.

Expulsion of the Turk.
From the New York Mail.

From the New York Mail.
Intervention is delayed. and mean
time the victorious allies are pushing the
Turk farther and farther. Before Europe
agrees, they may have pushed him out
of Europe altogether. Thus it ought to
be Strange that Europe should ever have
deemed 1t desirable to save the Turk
from expulsion! Strange that the destroy
ers of the Greek civilization, the ravagers
of temples and churches and libraries;
the injectors of nameless shames, dis
eases and corrupting vices into the blood
of Europe; the perpetrators of the awful
massacres of Chios of Smyrna, of Cy
prus, Armenia of Bulgaria; the pillagers
of thousands of European villages and
the outragers of myriads of European
women-strange, indeed, that these mon
sters should fancy that they have the
right to appeal to Europe for protection
The blood of countless thousands of muir
dered Christians cries out against such a
doctrine.

Protection for Birds.
From the Boston Globe.

1t is time that the warning of scientists
and lovers of nature against the slaugh-
ter of useful birds was needed by the
American people and attention paid to
their preservation. How many thought
less men and boys wantonly Kill birds
never can be known but the figures must
run into the hundreds of thousands and
perhaps to the million mark. Generally
speaking, every bird that is killed re-
duces the army of consumers of insect
pests, and that means just so many more
insects are left free to forage in our
agricultural domains.

Roosevelt's Vindictiveness.

From the New York Times.
"He did not deserve it, These are the
words that are on the lips of multitudes
who were opposed to Mr.. Tafts election,
and they are spoken with earnestness and
sincerity. His defeat under any possible
conditions in his own party could hardly
have been avoided, but his pitiful show
ing in the electoral college is the result of
forces that are not to his discredit-quite
the contrary Chief of these is the vim
dictive and treacherous enmity of Mr..
Roosevelt, and this was aroused by Mr.
Taft's endeavors to discharge his public
duty in accordance with the dictates of
his own Judgment. When he refused to
consult solely the wishes of the ex-
President he aroused in the mind of that
domineering gentleman sentiments of
jealousy, wounded vanity and fmplacable
hostility which finally inspired an elab-
crate organization, every wheel and cog
of which was moved toward the one aim
of crushing the President.

Plutocrats Hustling.
From the New York World.

So-caIled conservative influences are
already at work to split the democratic
party and balk the work of tariff revision.
Pressure has been brought to bear upon
Woodrow Wilson not to call Congress in
special session to revise the Payne-Ald-
rich schedules, and pressure has been
brought to bear upon the democratic ma
tional committee to oppose special
session. This is a counsel of infamy to
which Mr. Wilson cannot and will not
listen, and to which no honest democrat
should listen. Mr.. Cleveland did not call
a special session of Congress to revise
the tariff law after his Inauguration in
1888 In consequence the democratic
party paltered with it's pledges, and when
the Mckinley schedules were finally re-
vised a year later. the bill was SO dis
honest that Mr.. Cleveland refused to
sign 1t. P,utocracy and procrastination
had done their dirty work and betrayed
the country.

widely understood and better UNDER
standing is being developed between
health officials and dairymen and dealers,
and the net result of it all is that ulti-

not merely by the safeguards created by
the law, but through the watchfulness
and enterprise and conscientious care OF
milk producers themselves.
