The Eight O'Clock Suggestion.

1t is somewhat reassuring to find that
the proposal to increase the hours OF the
government clerks by starting them at
work at o'clock in the morning has not
been seriously brought before the cabinet
and is not now under immediate consid-
Grafton. The mere suggestion of an 8
O'Clock start for the governments work
ers is distressing to all Washington. II
would cause a complete change in do
nestle affairs, would seriously complicate
the servant problem and would moreover
impose a most unjust burden upon the
department workers themselves
IT has been suggested that this is a meas
ure of economy, to get more work out OF
the clerks for the same money. There IL
no business establishment in the United
States that could do that sort of thing
and there are few private employers who
would even propose it. The United States
is surely not going to go counter to the
established tendency of the day and cal
for more work for the same pay at the
cost of a complete revolution of the Twins
arrangements of its employees.

less. Taking that salary as a TYNE. the
approximate hourly wage is 30 cents. B,

A Bad Situation in Mexico.

The other day q freight car laden with
dynamite was sent down the railroad
line by rebels in order to destroy the

chance Of a broken rail 1t would prob
ably have gone over the boundary into

of over. $50 bridges that it is imperative.
Grounds for heavy claims for damages
are accommodating. Groups Of Americans
are precariously sheltered in some of
the larger places, such as Guaymas and
Mazatlan. with naval protection at the
former place, but none at the latter. A
great disaster is possible at any hour
there Naturally. the United States is
hoping for the establishment of order
south Of the boundary. but it is difficult
to see how it can be restored as long as
the dictum of this government is that it
will recognize the Huerta administration
only when the north Is pacified. when
truth the QlSOIueTS III the uOTtn are
ascribed by Mexican federals largely to
the failure of the United States to grant
recognition. Not only In the north are
there activities against the Huerta gov
eminent, but in various other parts of
Mexico revolts have been organized. The
government at Mexico City is said to
be out of funds and is in altogether a
serious plight. If the sailors who were
shot in Guaymas were on lawless err
rands ashore. the incident may cause no
international complication. But mas
much as the Sonora state govern
ment is not now in allegiance to the fed
eral administration difficult situation
may arise in the matter of international
exchanges, possibly bringing sharply to
an issue the question of who is respon-
sible for the preservation of order in
Mexico.

Cleanup Week.

On Monday begins Cleanup week"
Every householder is expected to clean
his premises thoroughly, securing out his
cellar and his back yard and removing all
trash and dirt of every kind. Facilities
are to be provided-and for this purpose
more funds are needed to be supplied by
popular subscription-for the removal of
this material. The object of this work
is twofold. to rid the city of dirt and
to inculcate a habit of scrupulous clean
illness. Every Washingtonian should CO.
operate to the fullest extent. so that at
the end Of the week not a single Uttered
yard or dirty cellar will remain, not
CARLOAD of trash will await removal, not
single breeding place for flies will be
left and Washington will start the
spring season in the best possible condi-
ton.
1t is not merely for the sake of appear
ances that this cleanup work is tie be
done. The health Of the community de-
ponds in large measure upon it, and in the
degree that every person joins in the
movement and responds to the call for
cleaning of premises the capital will be
fortified against disease The Star has
shown the way in past seasons by con-
Quoting fly elimination crusades, and it is
hoped that on the basis of the wholesale
slaughters of last year and the exposure
and correction of many of the breeding
places and the continuous cleanup work
this spring the capital will by the close
of the coming season be virtually free
from flies.
The slogan now is Prevent the fly"
That is to say, do not wait until the fly
has Matched and begun its dangerous
work of carrying disease germs, but
make it impossible for the fly to breed.
II all the trash is cleaned away and all
the manure pits are screened or treated
properly and all the grocery stores are
kept neat and sanitary and the meat
shops are maintained in accordance with
the health regulations, this is possible.
But this means work by everybody with
out remission. The Star hopes that the
cleanup activities of the coming week
will be engaged in by every householder.
every purveyor of foodstuffs, every mer-
chant-in fact, by all Washingtonians, to
the end that this may become the clean
est and the healthiest city in the United
States.
Between now and Monday morning
every dollar of the small sum needed to
provide the hauling facilities in addition
to those of the District will be SUBJ
scribed.

Just now Mr.. Hearst is at outs with
Tammany. They worked together last
year in support of Mr.. Wilson, but at Al

paths. Still, as the contest for senator
will not take place until next year. there
is abundant time for one OF those sniIts

Would Mr.. Hearst like service IN the

a lure. We may see him back in con-

Mr.. Hearst and the Senate

Mr.. Hearst for senator from New York
to succeed Mr.. Root? Gov. Sulzer has
heard the suggestion, and expresses the
hope that his friend may stand for the
place.
His friend, probably. although a cool
ness exists at present between the two
men. Gov. Sulzer owes much to Mr..
Hearst. The editor has for years sup
ported the aspirations of the statesman,
and last year was powerful factor in
putting the statesman in the governors
chair. Mr. Hearst has loved the states
man all the more for the latters Tam
many enemies.
Last winter, however. Gov. Sulzer took
a stand on the subway matter for Greater
New York contrary to the stand of Mr..
Hearst, and since then the editor has
appeared to withdraw his favor from
the statesman. But If the statesman
wants the editor to run for the Senate,
it is probably assumable that he will sup
port him for the office, and that should
draw the two men together again.
Ii Mr.. Hearst enters the race it is likely
he will experience the greater pleasure
in his efforts because of the fact that the
prize sought is now held by Mr.. Root. He
does not love Mr.. Root little bit. 1t
was Mr.. Root who campaigned in New
York when MIR. Hearst was running for
governor; and, speaking as he did for the
Roosevelt administration. of which he
was a member. his deliverances told
heavily against the democratic candi-
date. Not improbably. IL Mr.. Root had
not taken the stump, Mr.. Hearst would
have been elected.
The appeal will be to the popular vote
and Mr.. Hearst is an excellent CAM
paigner He has shown his quality in his
race for governor and his two races for
mayor And then he has his two New
York newspapers to draw upon. To the
race for senator he would add a great
deal of ginger.
What would be his fate with Tammany?

Let US consider a few things suggested

Indeed, it is already under fire. Be

door is, in fact. a sea problem for us.
A few of our ships are already at an
Choir in Mexican waters. and more may
be necessary. Mexico is so deeply un-
settled it may be years before all dan
ger is past.
We have a charge to keep in Cuba.
Our obligations there may become heavy
at any time. and whenever they do our
sea power will be the first of our re-
sources drawn upon.
And there are also to be considered
problems now out of our range, but to
the settlement of which we cannot af-
ford to be Indifferent. A new power
has risen in Europe. and all the old
powers are giving 1t attention Ger

tering on an enormous increase in both

We cannot afford to drop out of the
procession after moving with it. No
body wants war Nobody is seeking to
encourage an outbreak in any quarter
over any of the matters named. But
that we should be, and keep. prepared
for warlike eventualities is duty that
grows out of the plain reading Of his
tory, and an everyday recognition of the
fact that the millennium is not just
around the corner.

SO that they would not make armed
protest against the bloody outrages of
Turkish rule. Then they tried to break
up the alliance by threats and by Of
fering selfish gain to its different mem
bers. They have bullied and cajoled
and pooh-poohed the allies; they have
modified their vast armies; they have
set giant battleships in a demonstra-
ton. But that is all that they have
done. They have never made good their
horrid threats. And, now, when they
wish to step in and award the spoils
of war. the allies refuse absolutely to
be dominated by them. The bluff of
the great powers has been called too
often since last fall to have 1T carry

We roar at dancing that we once called

Where morals are described as all a
