BRADLEY LANE.

Just outside the District of Column
bia in Maryland, is Bradley Lane.
It connects the Connecticut avenue
highway with the Rockville pike, and
has become a very important link
in the route between the city and a
rural section which sends a very
large and fast increasing traffic to
the city. The Lane is especially
used by motorists, of whom a con-
tinuous string may be seen pass
ing through it at almost any time OF
day or evening.
This thoroughfare is i'll adapted to
accommodate the large traffic that
seeks it. 1t is very narrow; two
vehicles passing on it can do so only
by taking the utmost care; there is
constant danger of mix-ups and accl-
dents. With the increasing volume
of movement over it, there is in
creasing certainty that sooner or
later serious mishap will result from
the conditions.
Bradley Lane is outside the DIS
trict, and therefore without the au-
thority of the local government. 1t
is a concern of Montgomery county;
but its condition is such, and its i'm
portance to both county and city is
so well understood, that there
should be little difficulty getting at
tention of the county authorities to
the need for widening and improving
its surface. 1t may be impossible for
the District to cooperate in meeting
the expense of such an Improvement,
but if there is any way to accomplish
this, it would be highly desirable
use of the necessary money.

The Dry Goods Economist. trade
paper. which holds no brief for
either "drys" or VETS" set about
answering that question. The YER
dict was empatically in favor Of the
drys.
Rockford, Ill. with a 5000 popu-
lation, the second largest dry goods
city in the United States, was Sc
lected as the best place for inves-
tigation. because that city had gone
dry in May, 1898. had switched to
the wet column In May. 1910. and
again went dry in 1872.
The investigator for the Dry
Goods Economist listened to tho
rabid arguments of partisans on
both sides. then went direct to the
dry goods retail men for tfrst-hand
information. Afterward. he talked
to men in other lines OF business.
as well as professional men.
Increase Is Reported.
D. J. Stewart & Co.. the largest
retail dry goods firm. reported an
increase for 1912 of $1,000. And a
large proportion of this unusually
large increase was laid to prohibi-
ton. One after another of the dry
goods merchants gave the same ver-
dict. When the investigator tried
to get some ono to present tho
other side he was given names of
saloon advocates, but none could be
found opposed TO prohibition who.
even remotely, were connected with
dry goods firms.
In special cases It was found that
The Washington times., 1914-05-06

merchants had particular reasons
for feeling that prohibition helped
their business. such as the store
adjoining an orderly saloon, which
reported an increase of women GUS
toners since the saloon had closed.
But. in addition to the increased
volume of business, held TO be great

reported an increased promptitude
in COLLECTING accounts
Every newspaper was on the side

some. that increased advertising
had followed the closing OF saloons.
Receipts Show Gain.
Postal receipts showed a gain of
25 per cent. and business men will
tell you there Is no better criterion

continued the investigator "As to

THE OLD NORTH STATE.

The shiftings of political author
ity which go with changes OF party
and personnel, bring some interest
ing situations. Just now North Caro-
lima commands attention because OF
the probability that in the next Con-
gress she will number in her delega-
ton the leaders of both houses. In
the past the Old North State has
more than once been in commanding
position, but never has her repre-
sentation held so many posts OF first
rate importance as 1t IS likely 10
count in the next session.
In the first place, Senator Simmons
is chairman of the Committee on
Finance, which deals with tariff and
revenue problems. 1t is always
committee of the very first rank.
DESPITE that one large section OF its
authority was taken from it when
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency was created, it is still probably
the most distinguished committee OF
the upper body. Simmons will con-
tinue its leader.
The corresponding committee IN
the House, that on Ways and Means,
is now headed by Mr.. Underwood.
He will move to the Senate, and Mr..
Kitchin of North Carolina will be-
come leader of the majority-assum-
ing that the Democrats retain the
control, which seems altogether
probable-and chairman OF Ways
and Means. This craftsmanship now
carries not only the leadership and
the dominating place in revenue
matters, but also the function OF
directing the highly important busl-
ness of selecting the House COM
mittees.
The present chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, MIR.
Clayton of Alabama, is retiring to
assume judicial post, and the sue
cession will fall by seniority as well
as by merit to Mr.. Webb of North
Carolina. No committee has more to
do with framing legislation and de-
termining policies, in the present era,
than that on Judiciary, the geat law
committee, in a way the supreme
court of the House. Alabama gives
way at two very important points
to North Carolina.
The Senate Judiciary chairman is
Mr.. Culberson of Texas, who is serl-
ously i'll and very possibly will not
attempt to resume his duties in an
other session. Should he vacate the
Judiciary Craftsmanship in the upper
house, it would go by seniority to
Senator Overman of North Carolina.
Thus the North Carolina delegation
would hold the leadership of the
House, and the craftsmanship of what
many regard as the two most i'm
portant committees in both houses.
1t is decidedly notable coincidence,
and it testihes anew to the wisdom
of that policy which number Of
States have followed, of keeping
their delegations long enough in
service to let them rise to command
| ing places.

put one over there and let him do
something else needful.
But there is one field still neg
lected.
As Frank A. Vanderlip pointed out
recently in a speech before the Cot
ton Manufactures Association,
there is only one farmer in the civil
lied world comparable to the Ameri-
can tiller of the soil in the scantiness
of the yield he extracts from his
acres. He is the Russian moujik,
working with antiquated implements
and under disheartening conditions
of political and social life which are
no part of the American farmers
problem.
Figures compiled by the Deutsche
Bank, the greatest financial institu-
ton in Germany, gives the compara-
tive yields of grains to the acre as
between this country and Germany
