ITO keep the pneumonia death rate

This is true. The increase OF nose,
throat and lung diseases in cold weather
is not due to some mysterious bad prop
erty of cold air. 1t is due partly to the
strain on the system caused by chang
ing back and forth between overheated
houses and offices and unheated cars
and streets, but most of all to the fact
that at the first sign of cold weather

to say. Even where one political party
enjoys long favor, changes are frequent
Since Mr.. Wilson took the helm,
changes have been numerous. Men OF
limited experience, all republicans. have
been displaced for men of no experience,
all democrats. This, of course, has FOL
lowed the rule. Should Mr.. Wilson fail
of reelection, the men now serving
through his favor will be superseded by
men in the favor of the man who sue
ceeds him in the White House.
But the best man available should oe
chosen--drafted if necessary. Neither MI.
Wilson nor Mr.. Bryan has as yet had
time to master his job. Mr.. Wilson has
had his hands full of domestic affairs or
the first Importance; and. although IN
the main he has been his own foreign
minister, and has filled the higher for
eign posts with his own friends and sup
porters, he has not been able to give TO
foreign affairs the attention demanded.
The time for that has now arrived.
Even the new currency scheme and the
trust problem are not today in the public
mind as much as is our plight, conceded
to be embarrassing, respecting questions
relating to international problems. The

Memories of Potomac Floods.

A few days ago there was published in
the news columns Of The Star a para
graph which told that 'in spite of the
warm weather of the past two days lit
tie impression has been made on the ice
on the river" and that "some fears are
expressed that should the ice in the upper
river break and start down with the cur
rent before it is we'll softened some trou-
BILE will occur at this city,
How gentle this is compared with what
would have appeared in The Star a few
years ago, Then there would have been
well based fear of flood and disaster and
the breakage Of rail communication with
the south by wreck of the Long bridge.
Things are different now.
The capital because of official short
sight has suffered seriously from flood.
There were the floods of 1881 and 1910,
by each of which several spans of the
Long bridge were swept away. There
were the floods of 1856, 1860, 1863 1857,
1877, 1881 and 1889. On the brick pillar
which stands at the northwest corner of
18th and streets and which was one of
| the piers of the iron fence around the
Capitol grounds at the time of their ex-
tension in the '70s one can see deep cuts
"a

12, 1881, and the high-water mark of
November 20, 1877.

ruined, the causeway Of the Long bridge

the floors of horse cars in the streets.
the navy yard and arsenal grounds sub
merged, trunks afoat in the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad station and heavy
losses along the wharf lines of Washing
ton and Georgetown.
And now the spring breakup of the ice
in the Potomac is contemplated with
placid pleasure.

Honors to Col. Goethals.

The ceremony of presentation to Col
George W. Goethals of a medal, which,
of course, was of gold. by the National
Geographic Society. and the incidental
features of the ceremony were elo-
quently significant of the regard in
which the American people. and for
that matter all peoples. hold Col Goe-
thals and his high achievement.
President Wilson's speech of presen-
tation became him. Mr.. Wilson is a
rare speaker. in a double sense, on pub
lie occasions. He does not often make
speeches, and in those he does make
he says neither too little nor too much
and what he says is phrased and de-
livered with felicity and facility. Col.
Goethals' response was notable in re-
vealing. if that were necessary, the
native modesty of the man. a char
acteristic of the makeup of truly
great men. Secretary Bryan and Rep
resentative Mann. each of them ac-
complished in the art of public speech
and experienced in thinking on their
feet. were in their happiest mood and
vein.
There is no distinction which the
american people are unwilling to con-
fer on Col. Goethals. and Representa-
tive Mann's hope that he might soon
salute Col Goethals as Gen. Goeuhals-
Maj. Gen. Goethals-is universally
shared and approved.

The Commissioners and Congress.

The District Commissioners, i'll return
ing to the Senate District committee
with an unfavorable report the Johnson
Uolse bill directing that certain impor-
tant revenues of the District government
shall not be expended in payment OF
any expense or i'll discharge of any debt
pr liability of the District of Columbia
in the payment or discharge of which
Congress has in any manner whatsoever
committed the United States to partici-
pate" strike Il proper note of opposi-
tion directly at that measure and in
directly at the batch of other bills passed
by or pending i'll the House which are
hostile to the District.
The Commissioners are heartily in line
with the contention that If the fiscal re-
lations subsisting between the United
States and the District since 1878 are now
viewed with such dissatisfaction by Con-
Cress as to suggest Il radical change, the
question should be gone over as a whole
in an orderly way. The relations between
the United States and the District should
not be attacked piecemeal or by indirec-
tion. The present structure joining the
federal and District governments was
carefully planned and reared with the be-
lief or hope by its congressional builders
that it was to be permanent. and having
satisfactorily fulfilled its purposes for
thirty-siN years 1t should not be wantonly
wrecked. or wrecked at all without
thought to what is to replace 1t.
The Commissioners point out that the
bill returned to the Senate with their dis
approval is one of a series of conflicting,
GiSCordant and unrelated measures which
would undermine BY indirection the eX-
isting relations between the government
aud its capital.

Mr.. Moore's Retirement.

The retirement of John Bassett Moore
from the State Department will cause no
surprise, but much regret. His appoint
nent was universally applauded. Men of
all parties united in praise of his excep-
tional qualifications for the duties to
which he had been assigned. 1t was the
general opinion that Secretary Bryan,
new to diplomatic business, would need
such assistance as Mr.. Moore. a veteran
that line. stood able to render.
Coming at this time. Mr.. Moore's res
gnation Will inevitably lead to gossip.
We shall hear that his patience at last
save way; that, finding himself at odds
With his immediate chief and with Mr..
Wilson on matters of great international
Importance, he decided that retirement
as the best solution of his difficulty.
However this may be. Mr.. Moore is out,
and our foreign affairs are not, as the
public believes. in satisfactory shape.
Mexico has become running sore. Great
Britain is pressing us on the Panama
canal matter. and Japan quietly on the
california land matter. In both Germany
and France our new tariff law is OBJ
iectionable, while Italy is exercised over
,he immigration measure pending in Con-
sress.
Now. then. of all times, the administra-
ton needs the best advice about interna-
tioual law and diplomatic usage. Its
course lies through many difficulties. and
the steering calls for keen eye and q
steady hand.
Who, then. for the succession? Our dip
.omatic service is such that trained mer
are comparatively few. Appointments
are madsSlnd accepted but for day, SC

Jennings of Oklahoma.

Among the candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of Okla
homa is an eX-bandit and eX-convict-
AZ Jennings. The primary takes place
in August. AS may be imagined, this
candidacy is stirring the state.
Mr.. Jennings past life has not been
flashed upon the public. 1t was known
before he announced himself for gov
ernor He has attempted no conceal
ments, no huggermugger. He has con-
fessed and explained his delinquency,
and asks the people of the state to for
give it. He is reported to have Il fol-
lowing. He expresses confidence in his
ability to win.
Though a lawyer earning good liv-
ing. Mr.. Jennings retired from practice
because, as he asserts, he found the
present-day methods of the profession
Objectionable. He closed his Office, and
has now turned his eyes to politics.
He declares he is not out for money.

Indiana and Ohio.

The Presidents praise of Senator
Shively is we'll timed. 1t will probably
be read at the Indiana democratic state
convention, scheduled for the 10th in
slant
At that meeting an effort will be made
to display team work. Harmony in
Washington, harmony at Indianapolis.
Endorsement of the national administra-
ton is certain. Endorsement of the state
administration may not be SO hearty, but
what is offered will serve. And Mr..
Shively, who aspires to succeed himself
i'll the Senate, will be helped in the race
by Mr.. Wilson's approval He has made
reputation in that body, and few senators
have found themselves in their first term
so infiuentally placed in committee work
Thomas Taggart's power, which is still
considerable, will not this time be used
against Mr.. Shively. When Mr.. Shively
was chosen. Mr.. Taggart wanted Mr..
Kern. But he acquiesced in the choice
made, bided his time, and saw his friend
succeed in the next contest. He has de-
clined an invitation to enter the field
against Mr.. Shively himself and that
means his support of the senator for re-
election.
While the democrats have material
advantage in the presence in the vice
presidency of one of their number, of two
senators of their faith, and full state con-
troll, the republicans are not without
spirit. They are preparing for a cam
paign, and will strive to put up strong
man against Mr.. Shively. They have
some good material, and in Mr.. Fairbanks
a man of proved leadership. His name,
however. does not appear in the list of
availables. His friends may be holding
him in reserve for 1916 and a race of far
greater Importance.
For a long time Indiana stood with
Ohio as a republican stronghold The
local affairs of both states were under
the control of that party, and both We're
represented in Congress by very capable
men.
Then came a change. when both swung
over to the democracy. Judson Harmon
carried Ohio. and Thomas r. Marshall
Indiana, for governor. and each had a
democratic successor. Gov Cox is on
deck at Columbus, and Gov. Ralston at
indianapolis.
While Local affairs will figure in both
campaigns, national affairs cannot be
barred. Mr.. Wilson and his record will
be in evidence, and the November verdict
will have a national bearing. Ohio being
a wool-producinS state, the republicans
will ask for votes Oh the free wool sched-
ule Of the Underwood law, and Mr.. Mar
shall being an Indianian, the democrats
will ask for votes to sustain an admins
tration of which he is a prominent men,
Der. and with which he is in full agree
ment. The Hoosier and the Buckeye will
presently be very much in the picture.

Supervised Play.
.om the Baltimore Star.

From the Baltimore Star.
During the past ten years this idea
of organized and supervised play has
had a wonderful spread. 1t has de-
veloped into a world movement; there
is not a civilized country i'll either hemi-
sphere that has not adopted the scheme
upon a more or less extensive scale
Three other cities in Maryland. besides
Raltimore now maintain summer play
grounds, but the towns and villages have
not yet fully awakened to the signiii-
cance of the movement. Every town IN
the states with Il thousand population
ought to have playground with sports
organized and directed in accord with the
ideals of the national association.

He might have had profitable employ
ment in the chautauqua field, or on the
vaudeville stage. Strong inducements
were offered him by showmen. But he
declined all such propositions, holding
them beneath a serious minded man In
his situation and with his aspirations.
The case. strictly speaking. Is not that
of an unfortunate man trying to come
back Mr.. Jennings feels that he Is
back. He has arrived. He holds that he
is reinstated in the confidence and re
spsct of those who consulted him while
he was practieing law, as well as OF
those who are now giving him encourage
ment.
What he is aiming at is larger field
for activity. He has been studying pup
lie questions, and the performances OF
some men who have been elected to pup
lie Office, and is sure that in the gov
ernorship of Oklahoma he could improve
the situation. He has reforms Whlch ne
would institute, economy and the elm
ination of graft being among the number.
Such a man on the stump asking votes
for so important an office should lend
to the campaign a novel interest. Au-
dacity in both an orator and a politician
is advised by the standard authorities
and surely Mr.. Jennings does not lack
for the article. The crowds are heckling
him. but are not silencing him. He re-
plies to the most pointed and ill-natured
thrusts in a frank and temperate way,
and begs no quarter.
Ordinarily, the betting against this man
would be heavy. Few would pin faith
to a candidacy SO handicapped. But these
are not ordinary times. One has only
to look across into Mexico to see how
bandits and ex-bandits play prominent
roles in public affairs. and win applause
