before the Senate committee in charge
of the Colombian treaty at this session

Massachusetts, and Indiana.

Reports from all sections are to the
effect that the drift from the bull moose
to the republican party is steady and
strong. If it continues, the November
results may be of great significance.
|, The Stars staff correspondence from
Boston describes a situation full of en-
eouragement for the republicans of the
Bay state. Mr. McCall's candidacy for
the nomination for governor is appealing
to the pride of his party, and making an
excellent impression on many of the bull
moosers. He stands with Mr.. Lodge and
Mr.. Weeks as an expression of the state
in both intellectual and practical politics,
and in the governors chair would have a
fine opportunity to show his quality.
From Indiana comes news Of a greatly
improved feeling between republicans and
bull moosers. to the advantage of the
state organization Of the former. The
democrats, it is true, are giving out that
they have the bull moosers to fight. but
that is for campaign purposes. They are
encouraged their allies as well as pos
sible.
In both states protection is operating
as unifier. Massachusetts has always
been q manufacturing stronghold. and
Indiana in the last score of years has
become one.
In both states there is discomfort with
the Underwood law, and the republicans
are playing upon it. Under the Dingley
law the manufacturing interests of both
states prospered, and labor got its share.
Now there is depression, and many plants
and much labor are idle.
In Massachusetts the national admins
tration has only a general interest. 1t
would be happy. of course, to see the
democracy win, but there is no local
leader who holds particularly near re.a-
lions to it. George Fred Williams has,
politically. departed this life, leaving
anything but a fragrant memory.
In Indiana matters are different. The
administration is connected with that
state through Mr.. Marshall; and the
President feels q warm interest in Mr..
Shiyely. who in the Panama tolls ques-
ton not only supported the President.
but managed the repeal bill in its early
stage in the Senate.
II Mr.. Wilson decides to take the stump
he will be invited to visit Indiana. and,
should he accept, the democratic cam
paign will be greatly increased in interest.
The President, the Vice President and
Mr. Shively will make a trio of power in
the appeal to voters. not to mention Mr..
Bryan, who. though never able to carry
the state Tor himself. has always been a
prime drawing card as speaker there.
The republicans and the bull moosers.

she now refuses to grant to her neighbor

An Anomaly of the War Situation.

In it's present aspect the European war
situation prevents singular paradox
quite contradictory of the universal judg-
!. fs ment as TO the relations between certain
OF the powers. For the past forty years
-. the French people have been supposedly
straining in leash to fall upon the Ger
! (. mans, to seek revenge for the conquest
-'f Of 1870. and the recovery of the two
provinces wrested from France by the
victorious power. This Franco-German
hostility has been one Of the fundamental
!. elements in every continental con,plica-
: tion for more than a generation. and
sa prophecies have frequently been made
that 1t was only a question of opportun-
ity and readiness when the two nations
- ~ would be again at grips on the battle
field.
ir1f Today. so far as all the dispatches in
dictate. France is working as an influence
5ss'for peace. seeking to prevent the precipi-
/; 'rtation OF general war in Europe Yet
lathe opportunity would seem to be favor
able for French attack upon Germany,
confronted by Russia and menaced at the
same time By England,
In the same degree. though for different
reasons, the English people have for
practically generation been bitterly
hostile to the Germans. and on several
occasions conflicts between them have
seemed TO be imminent. The reason for
= - the Anglo German hostility. however. has
,t;,. been different from that of the French
enmity for the Teutons. The German
= trade has been extended in all parts of the
y world at the expense of the British. and
has even invaded the English territory
81 itself. There Is deep-seated antipathy
z between these peoples. growing out of
jealousy on the part of the English for
the rapid development of the German
70 sea power. and the effort by Germany to
establish and maintain colonial outposts
In virtually avowed rivalry with England.
'r.....:At times it has seemed as though moth
ing could prevent a conflict between the
? two powers. Notwithstanding the close
4 personal relations OF the two reigning
RI houses.
Yet in this present crisis England even
more definitely than France has been
=. working for peace. although an excep-
donal opportunity would seem to be Of
fered. through a general war in which
NJ England would align herself against the
triple alliance. for the delivery of
crushing blow against the German sea
q power, and consequently the German
q world prestige and trade.
So strange are these phenomena of the
,ya French and the English acting in appar-,
ent understanding as agents Of peace in
M . situation which would seem to expose
:, Germany to their assault. that the sug-
sestion 10 offered that the two powers

Maryland-D. c. Motor Reciprocity.

&4ox 46AueOs W A4VtVA ASSS4PAOOAeys
In the course of the hearing on the bill
which proposes a special tax on automo-
biles in the District of Columbia before
the House committee the suggestion was
made that under this measure, which
would tax foreign cars coming into Wash
ington as well as resident cars, recipro-
cal relations with Maryland could be OBJ
tanned, whereupon a representative in
Congress from Maryland exclaimed:
"oh, no, they couldn't! The state OF
MARYLAND can't let Washington. a city OF
900 Inhabitants on its border line. use
its state roads for nothing.
OF course. as long as Maryland holds
to this position 1t is impossible to let the
people Of that state, who in 1910 num-
bered l,29J,3 ,346. living on the boundaries
Of the District, use the streets of this city
free. Washingtonians use the roads OF
Maryland in about the same proportion to
population as Marylanders use the streets
Of Washington, and as a reciprocal prop
osition the exchange Of free road use
would be fair. The truth is the Mary
land traffic which does the greatest dam
age TO the streets Of Washington Is prac-
tically untaxed, comprising the heavy
farm wagons coming to the local mar
kets. There are no District farm wagons
SO on this point the Marylanders have all
the best Of the situation.
Evidence was given at the hearing be-
fore the House committee that automo.
biles travelling at a moderate rate OF
speed do not injure streets or roads. Sc
rigid are the Maryland rules and SO strict.
ly are they enforced by jealous consta-
bles that Washington motorists are seldom
allowed to attain to speeds In the leas,
injurious to the highways of that state
Certainly such damage as may be done
by them is far more than offset by the
expenditures OF Washington motorists
while travelling through Maryland. The,

the nennlesNf the state outside of penal.
