of capital and great many men
needing work are idle. Justly or not,
and even when the effects OF the
war are counted out, the administra-
ton is blamed for the situation.
But. discouraging as the existing
outlook for the democrats is, the re-
publicans should not forget two very
important things:
% Election day is eighteen months
away, and in that time the demo-
Gratis may recover some of their lost
ground; and (2) If change is or
dered at the polls in November of
next year, the mandate can only be
satisfactorily executed by a party
strong in its union and purposes and
we'll led. There is no warrant for a
belief that the republican label alone
just any old candidate on any old
p1atform-can win.
If republican succeeds Mr.. Viii
son in March, 1917, he will confront
a task of large proportions, and re-
quire the aid OF men of ability and
OF one purpose. Much has already
been done under democratic auspices.
and more is promised Ii the record
is condemned by the voters. new
record must be made: and this will
touch all business, and many politi-
cal, points. Necessarily. therefore, the
new leaders will have their hands
full, and should enjoy the confidence
OF the country. Business particular
ly will follow their performances
with extreme solicitude.
Many OF those who left the repub-
lican party in 1912 have returned.
Others are known to be on the road
home. The premises look natural,
and old comforts are being felt The
is not an attractive place
Only brief soiourn there has a very
depressing effect on those accus-
toned to clearings and snug habita-
tions. For fifty years the republicans
have been we'll housed and we'll fed.
and very little of the wilderness
goes long way with them. AT pres
ent they are self-exiled. By their
folly they surrendered good quar-
ters, and without united effort they
cannot hope to recover them.

Easter Tourists.

Ii is estimated that over 5000
school teachers and pupils from
other cities are in Washington at
this time, taking advantage Of the
Easter holidays to study the National
Capital as an object lesson of value
in their school work No other
American city offers so many advan-
tages in this respect. Here are ele-
mcnts that are TO be found nowhere
else. Here is the American govern
'nent at work, in every branch save,
lust a. present, the legislative. Each
hour of the stay OF a party Of tour
ists can be prohtably employed, how
ever protracted the visit. For those
who come for only a day there is a
swift bird's-eye view of the capital
that will make every individual anx-
ious to return at the first opportun-
ity. In two-day stay little more
intimate survey of the field is posi-
bic. But all of Washington's attrac-
tons cannot be visited and appre-
ciated even in a week of steady
Sightseeing" Indeed, so infinite and
varied and absorbingly interesting
are the capitals features that close
study of years may still leave one un-
satisfied. There is. however. the
warmest welcome for even the one
day tourists, for Washington is as
.ured that they return home better
citizens of the republic for their visit
to the seat of government.

Dangerous Wires.

The death OF Wallace A. Whitaker
Saturday evening by an electric cur
rent brings vividly to observation
the fact that there is still great dan
ger from overhead wires in certain
parts Of Washington, despite all the
work that has been done in the
burial Of high-power electric con-
d,tctors. 1t is a shocking revelation
that in thickly populated part of
the District wires of such high po-
tentiality are exposed that the break
of even low-power conductor such
as a telephone or telegraph line may,
by crossing one of the dangerous
feed wires, become a death-dealing
agency. The danger arises not mere
ly from the breaking of high-po
wires themselves. One of the chief
reasons for the exclusion of over
head trolley lines from Washington
was that these wires might charge
any metal conductor touching them
and falling into the street. The in
sulation of the high-power wires is
rot a safeguard against fatality. as
Saturday nights accident demon
strates. The insulation of an exposed
wire soon deteriorates and becomes
worthless for the confinement of the
current within the metal conductor.
MIR. Whitaker was killed in a laud-
able effort to prevent danger to life
resulting from the break Of the wire,
although he was warned by the youth
who was standing guard not to touch
the exposed conductor. He trusted
10 the insulation. 1t is to be hoped
that this tragedy will teach the les
son that it is unsafe for any one but
a trained lineman to handle exposed
electrical conductors. But especially
is it desirable that this sacrifice of
life cause the immediate burial of all
iigf-powcr wires within the closely
inhabited part OF the District. There
should be no difference in respect to
electrical conductors Of high poten-
.iality whether they are stretched
within the center Of the city or the
closely built outlying residential sec
tions. If there is now boundary
beyond which such wires are per-
mitted overhead this event demon
strates that that boundary lies too far
within the area of habitation.
