The proposal to change the route
OF the river car line, as presented to
council, has created a great deal of
interest on the part Of people resid-
ing on the west side of the city.
General Manager Glenn wants TO omen
the street at Marietta and FORSYTH
streets and let incoming river cars
run up Walton Street from the Ma
rIetta street intersection. Cars will
turn to the right at Forsyth and
to the right again at Marietta. Pas
sengers viii enter at Marietta and
Forsyth Streets, rather than at Broad
The Streets Committee Of Council
approved the plan.

OLD WARSHIPS AS SANATORIA.

The Medical Times calls attention to recon-
mendaton made at the last international Congress OF
School Hygiene as to new use for warships now
lying in navy yards awaiting the target range, the
auction block, and the junk pile" This recommenda-
tion took the form of resolution offered by DR.. S.
Adolphus Knopf, in which our Government was Pc
tltioned TO place at the disposal of the various States
as many of the discarded batteships and cruisers
possible, to be anchored in rivers at the seashore
and utilized for open-ar schools sanatorium schools
Ter children or hospital sanatoria for adults
In view of the ravages of the White Plague there
is much to be said in favor of this suggestion The
Italian government has consecrated three discarded
men-of-war to this purpose. Mrs. c. Rumsey, when
she was Miss Mary Hartman, gave an old feryboat
TO be used as longshore sanatorum for the poor af
iicted with tuberculosis Also we have the govern
mental custom of lending vessels to the States and
cities for purposes other than military.
When Texas is used as a floating target for the
guns OF her later sister ships most of feel keen
regret that mar-ofwar should come to such an ig-
noble end. Yet modern naval practice foreshadows
some such death for every cruiser battleshp now
afoat. How appropriate it would be to have some of
these superannuated ships turned to our sea-
board municipalities to end their days serving as t1e
most wholesome and effective of agencies for the pre-
vention or the conquest of the White Plague! That
would be an enrolment in a campaign worthy of any
ship that ever foated the American flag since our
navy came into existence

HOW EASY is MURDER!

The most horrifying case of professional mur.
derer numbering trade and for profit in the an.
mails of American criminology was doubtless that of
H. H. Holmes. He was a man Of education, of per-
fecty endish ingenuity and resource in planning and
executing his plots and especially in making that
he would profit by his crimes. ee
Almost paralleling the Holmes record is. the case
of young man in Chicago, who confesses, to killing
twelve or fourteen people, among them two of the
four wives he had married, and two policemen He
was not polished and scientific criminal like Holmes
merely brute who in perfectly cold blood stood
ready to kill any man woman whom he discovered
in possession of an attractive amount of cash.
There is no intricacy of plot, no deftness in in
tgue, no fascinating atmosphere of mystery and in
genuty, about the murderous career of this Chicago
degenerate. He tells the police that he didn't drink
or smoke. He had expensive habits of cafe living
and needed money. He found it easy to get it by
killing people and taking what they had in their
clothes. He gained $1,000 in year by this means,
and spent it.
That was all. He was common butcher, a pot
hunting gamester with human life. His confession,
assuming that it be true it sounds, proves that
after all socetys instrumentalities for protecting it.
self are pretty futile, and that The average persons
decency and instructive hatred of crime is the real
guarantee against crime

= VOTING BY ELECTRICITY.

The proposal to install in the chamber of the
House of Representatives an electrical contrivance
with which members may vote instantaneously by
pressing button really deserves consideration. |,
would be embarrassing to many members to have to
vote without the privilege of waiting, passing" and
seeing how somebody else voted; which embarrass-
ment might very well contribute finally to developing
q much-needed independence in action.
But really, so long as legislation is to be made in
legislative caucus to which political parys member
ship is bound, why not install an apparatus by which
the chairman of the caucus shall megaphone his
partEs vote on behalf of all the other members? That
would save time and also some money.
The Washington times., 1913-10-06

to the demand for universal suffrage among men,
without such demonstrations. No one of the thir-
teen colonies granted universal manhood suffrage in
the beginnings. The progress by which that ideal
generally realized not marked by the violent
methods employed in Britain by men in the past and
by some women in the present
If it was necessary for British men to smash win
dows and burn houses and kill livestock in order to
get the ballot, perhaps it is necessary for British
women to do the same things
But it has not been necessary for American men
to do those things in order to get the ballot The tes
timony of ten States lined up for the enfrancnise-
ment of women tells us that it is not necessary for
American women to do these things.
Therefore, it may we'll be doubted whether Mrs.
Pankhurst, trying to impose British methods Amer
ican conditions, is going to do any good. Much more
likely she will do positive harm to the movement in
this country.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION APPROVED.

Consolidation of rural schools has received some
strong Endorsements in States where it has been tried
and the recent verdict of the United States Bureau of
Education, based on an educational survey of Mont
gomery county, Maryland, is of the best of them
Admitting the defects of the rural school, as most
competent educators do, the difficulty has been to find
way to improve it. In not few States there is dis
inclination to adequate local taxes for the pur-
pose Each county accepts its proportion of the State
school fund and then does little possible in add-
ton. Worst of all, politics is allowed in the manage
ment of county schools
Consolidation affords the hope of prompt remedy
by lodging rather than accepting adverse conditions
which can perhaps be overthrow only by work of
years. Lack of funds to erect proper buildings can be
met by spending one building the amount which
would otherwise be scattered on several. Absurdly
low salaries of teachers be done away with by
grouping funds and providing each teacher with an
average number of pupils to be instructed The COM
muniy idea is developed by concentration of educa-
tonal effort which acts in the same manner on
larger number of individuals as at present
With good roads and the increasing practicability
of the use of motor omnibuses, the pupils can be
assembled miles from their homes with as much con-
venence as if the school were only short distance
away Thus the only objection to school consolidation
which has been considered important becomes almost
a disappearing quantity.

MRS. PANKHURST'S INVASION.

Conceding everything that may be said in defense
of suffrage militancy in Great Britain, it is not ap-
parent how Mrs. Pankhursts ncurson into this coun-
try is going to help the American suffrage cause
Militancy in some form or other-riots, demonstra-
tions, violence of language and act-has very gen
orally marked the progress of campaigns for exten-
sion of the suffrage in England; campaigns FOR its
extension to men in the past as well to women
in the present That may be construed by some as
justification Of present English suffrage methois
But in the United States there has been concession

GREAT POLITICAL MANAGEMENT.

President Wilson and his coadutors in Democratic
leadership have been congratulated from all quarters
on their success with the tariff legislation; but one
important detail of their achievement the due measure
of credit has apparently by inadvertence been denied

They got the tariff bill passed and signed in plenty
of time to avoid collision with the worlds series.

AN EXTRAORDINARY NATIONAL CON.
VENTION.

l. The issuance of formal call for meeting Of
the Republican National Committee to consider an ex-
traordinary national convention of the party, is a
striking demonstration of the unprecedented political
conditions prevailing in the nation. The national
committee is under the complete domination Of the
elements that little over year ago log-rolled ard
manipulated themselves into control of the parry,
When they did it they were warned that it meant
political revolution, but they could not would not
believe it; they could would nor read corr ctly
the signs of the times. They believed it was yet pos
sible for them relying on the conservatism Of long
standing political allegiance, to make great political
party personal asset of group of bosses aid when
they discovered too late the tremendous mistake they
had made, the historic party was wreck.
To undo the mistakes Of that epoch of frenzied poll
tics, it is now necessary, apparently to bring H..
resentatves of the party together in national con-
venton midway between Presidential elections, to
make over the party law; to give assurance that the
next nominating convention will be an honest con-
venon; to grant hostages for the rule of that con-
venton by the real public opinion of the country; to
authorize election of delegates under the primary
laws of the various States, and to make certain tat
the roten-borough system of Republican politics at
the South shall no longer WELD the balance D. power
in the conventions of the party.
legal committee was appointed some months
ago by the executive committee Of the national COM
mttee, to report whether these changes in rules can
Il. ally be made without convention There is little
doubt, however, among men who have most carefully
studied the question: that it will be held Necessary to
have convention take this action The conventions
alone make party law, and they alone can revise it.
1t may, therefore, be accepted pretty certain that
there will be convention likely in May of next year.
Not only what is done at that convention but the
spirit in which it is done will determine the measure
of success that will attend efforts at rehabilitation of
the party The whole community, including alike
those who reluctantly stood by the boss-ruled organ
zaton in 1912 and those who refused to do so will be
quite as much concerned about the spirit about the
letter of the proceedings will insist first of all on
being convinced that real change of purpose has
taken place and that the bona des of the reformation
are unquestonabe. If in manifest sincerity and can
dor the reactionay bosses surrender in favor of the
effective rule of honest party sentiment there will be
good chance for bringing together the sundered ele
ments that once made the Republican party the ruling
political authority ofthe land Less than this will not
mend conditions
