Negotiations have been carried on
between the National Temperance
/ association and the statistical depart
ment with a view of collecting stats
tics on the liquor trade 1t has been
agreed that the statistics ought to
cover arrests due to intoxication, the
sale of liquor and an estimate of the
public expenses which may, in part
at least, be due to the use of liquor
The statistical department will next
confer with the department of justice
and the friends of the movement are
in hope that the work of collecting
the statistics will be commenced
early this year.

POLITICAL BATTLEFIELD
FOR ULSTER'S WAR.

Perhaps the bugle blasts of war
in Ulster are rot so grave in the
martial sense as in the political. 1t
is preposterous to think of that tiny
spot on the map of Europe actually
coming to a clash Of arms with one
of the greatest military powers of
the world. Even if the doughty u
stermen would fight, it is unthink-
able that the fleets and armies of
Great Britain should ravage the
land ard slay the people of Ulster
not for wanting to quit the British
family, but for refusing to leave it.
A six-foot man cannot give battle
with his fists to a very small boy.
Yet he might find no escane from
sitting on that small boy.to suppress
his beligerent activities. The Eng
lish government, with its ships
/, off listers shores and it's armies Oh
listers fields, might sit on the bel
ligercat children; might be compell-
ed to do that very thing and that is
as far as there would be any posi-.
The Washington times., 1914-03-22

bility of the military struggle going.
Ulster couldn't move any more than
the very small boy, crushed down
by more than 200 pounds of giant
sitting on him, could.
But right there, where the mill
tary seventies would end, the politi-
cal seventies would begin. The
hearts of the British troops would
revolt against even the mild bar
barities Of sauashing Englapd's
children for insisting that they must
not be alienized. And across the
channel the English hearts Of the
public would loath its own army for
SO maltreatins those k-other@, o.
streperous though they were.
This is pretty kettle of fish fsr
the liberal government. With :
political dishonor Asquith, when he
has the power to make good his
pledges TO the Irish, cannot fail to
make them good. But to redeem
those pledges he cannot use the
leets ard armies of Great Britain
against loyal men of English blood
and fealty, though there be no need
to kill and ravage, without raising
a political riot in England itself.
1t is scarcely to be questioned that
if Asquith should be compelled actu-
ally to suppress Ulster by force
merely that force Of overwhelming
weight sitting upon wee body
the voters of England would almost
literally tear him out of the prime
ministry.
Blood is thicker than water. In
such singularly complex issue Of
patriotism rebelling against expa-
triation, any races blood will thick
en- to a greater density than can be
expressed in liquid terms.
That's the trial, if those untamed
spirits of Ulster persist, which
awaits Asauith-not butchering his
kinsnen across the chanrel for
standing under his own colors. not
carrying rapine over the most
precious of all British soil outside
of Eagland's own isle. Not that;
but political upheaval at home.
Ireland has earned home rule. No
man shall gainsay she ought to have
. it, and have it now. It is written in
the bond that she shall have it with
out further delay; and every honest
man will honor Asouith for his re-
solve that the pledge must be full
filled now. But at this iuncture,
with the price somebody must pay
not the men of Ireland south Of Ul-
ster, nor yet the men of Ireland in
ulster-nobody can envy Asquith
the road he must march.

PRODDINO THE COMMIS
SION.

New York's public service CON-
mission has been unconscionably SLOW;
about getting action in the matter
Of telephone rates. The people of
that long-sufering community have
got it figured that. they are being
mulcted Of j vast amount OF money
in excessive rates for their wire serv-
ice. Preliminary inquiries have
demonstrated that there is excellent
reason for their disaffection.
But the public service commission
failed to move, and now the legisla.
ture has passed a law fixing fiat
maximum rate of 5 cents per call
1t is distinct reduction, and per-
haps will be contested in the courts.
The public service commission comes
in for a good deal of criticism, the
general observation being that if,
after all, the legislature, cumber-
some and slow as it is, must be de-
pended on to transact the business
for which the commission was es-
tablished, there is mighty little sense
having the commission. 1t sounds
sensible.
Public service commissions are
created with the view of opening
short cuts to results in the public in
terest. They possess no powers that
the legislature does not possess, but
it is presumed that they can act
more expeditiously and with less
creaking of machinery. If they
don't do that much, there is no ex-
cuse for their existence.

considerably warmer welcome tnan
the weather would indicate. The
adagc that hope spriag5 eternal is
verified more in the clan of baseball
fanatics than in any other class of
men. This should help, for it is
doubtful if any baseball team, on
the threshold of championship sea
son, has had a more narrowing eX-
perience than have the Gritfn:en for
the past month.
But in two seasons these same
players have showed that they
possessed in superlative degree the
moral stamina and physical game
ress to carry them through dark
days. They stormed and fought their
way into the vortex OF two Of the
most stirring races ever staged by
any league. During his tenure Grif-
fth has twice landed his gallant
crew in front of teams that but a
few months before had landed the
title of the universe OF the diamond.
This spirit should carry the team
through the present crisis. Wash

AN UNLEARNED LESSON.

Last spring witnessed the most
disastrous and widespread foods
that the country has ever known. In
the detail of property destruction,
there has never been a like calamity
comparable to that of the spring of
1913. The single State of Ohio
was calculated to have lost at most
conservative figure 5000, ,O00, 900.
A long-delayed spring is about to
break upon the country. Heavy
SHOWS are widely spread. There
will in all probability be a sudden
releasing of another vast body of
water, and more terrific losses.
Immediately after the Ohio ralley
disaster of last year there was in
tense public concern in behalf of
measures to prevent repetition of
that experience. But what has ac-
tually been done?
At least it would seem that a
great, comprehensive survey of the
situation might well have been un-
dertaken, with view to detcrmin-
ing what is the best thing to do, and
what is the practicable thing, from
the standpoint of financial limita-
tions. There is a good deal of ex-
cellent authority for the belief that
storage reservoirs can be provided
on the upper courses of streams, to
impound the excesses of food
periods, and feed them out during
the seasons of low flowage. Care
full study has been given to the
feasibility of this plan as applied to
the, Ohio valley, and it is recon-
mended by men whose word in the
engineering world is worth while.
A year ago, it WAS pretty gener-
ally conceded that the problem of
the Mississippi river system was a
national one. The individual States
manifestly cannot cope with it be-
cause the streams are national
streams, the territories affected
cover many States, the co-ordina-
tion Of methods and programs is alb
solutely necessary if effective pro-
lection is to he secured. This is
possible only Through the Federal
control of the work. II will doubt
less be found that Il project looking
TO exclusive Federal financing of
such a gigantic work would be i'm
possible. The States and cities
ought to hear a large share Of the
costs; they will have to, if such a
systematic scheme IF improvement
is ever undertaken and carried out.
But the absolute ard dictatorial con-
troll of the whole business by the Ma
tional Government is none the less
necessary. Probably it represents
the only nasis on which real CO.
operation among the States could
be achieved.
There will be no Important ACCOM-
plishment until after the food sea-
son of this year, which is about to
open. 1t is certainly not without
reason to hope that. if there is an
other disaster even approaching that
Of year ago. it will move some
body to initiate real program of
flood protection and prevention.
