the families of those who are killed
In some of the cities where jitney
service has been started the COM
panies are required to give bonds
for the satisfaction of damage claims.
Elsewhere, as here, the communities
are taking chances with the often
frail and frequently unskillfully op-
Grated service, with no guarantee of
sufficient financial foundation for the
meeting of injury judgments in the
event of accidents. 1t does not meet
the matter to say that those who
prefer this sort of service take their
own chances. The same argument
might prevail as to street railways,
and yet no city will permit the op-
Grafton of irresponsible traction
companies. just why there should
be a difference between the tracked
and the untracked street car line in
this important respect is not plain.
Washington welcomes additional
transport, as afforded by the jitneys,
but it does not need it to such an
extent as to waive its protection
against damages when, as at present,
the service is attended with obvious
risks not usual in the carriage of the
public.

Near Sedition at Elizabeth,

Yesterday at Elizabeth, N. J., an
organization styling itself the Ger
man-American alliance met and
adopted resolutions as follows:
Whereas the continued sale by
America of arms ano munitions OF
war to the enemies of Germany is
directly responsible for thousands OF
deaths and the wounding of thou
sands more; and,
Whereas, protests against such
sales by neutral country have been
unheeded.
BE it resolved, That the German
American Alliance of Elizabeth de-
clare the sinking of the Arabic as
justihable and deserved.
BE it resolved, That the alliance
indorse Germany's submarine polio,
and extend to her marine command
ers the unstinted praise to which they
are entitled.
BE it resolved, That travelling
americans, to escape the dangers Of
the war zone, be urged to make use
OF the ships of neutral countries.
BE it further resolved, That the
sympathy of the alliance be extended
to Germany in her hour of trouble.
Which, in view of the notes of this
government to Austria on the ques.
ton of munitions export and to Ger.
many on the subject of the Lusitania
sinking, may without improperly be
classed among the unfortunate re-
suits of the organized German propa.
ganda in the United States.

The Jitney Service.

A correspondent of The Star, in a
letter printed in recent issue, calls
attention to the dangerous over
crowding of some of the jitneys that
are now running along routes in this
city. He breaches subject that is
of direct concern to every citizen
and should be promptly considered
by the public utilities commission.
The regulation of the jitneys has not
yet been sufficiently provided for by
the terms under which they are per-
mitted to operate in the streets of
this city. They are running at will,
under their own rules, save as to the
course of traffic. They may carry
as many as their drivers are willing
to pack into the cars, without re-
gard, as The Stars correspondent
AYERS, to the weight of the machines
or the requirements of safety. Should
an accident occur here, as in other
cities where jitneys are running
without regulation as to operation,
there will be no assurance of recon-
pense for those who are injured or

Politics and the Supreme Court,

From letter printed yesterday.
written by staff correspondent of
The Star from Salt Lake City, this
is taken:
During the meeting OF the Ameri-
can Bar Association. which ended
here Friday last, national politics
fairly buzzed. | am told that gen.
eral depreciation OF efforts to nomi-
nate Justice Hughes was expressed
by the leading lights of the bar, on
the ground that it might set pre-
cedent of making the Supreme Court
a stepping stone to the presidency
and possibly political ambition might
some time influence some mans de-
Gliding vote in important national
cases.
While in a number of cases men
who had achieved distinction in poll
tics have been appointed to places on
the Supreme bench, but twice in the
past sixty-odd years has the lure of
the presidency visibly affected any
member of that court. Chief Justice
Chase. about whose head the presi-
Dental bee was buzzing before he
put on the robe OF the court, never
ceased to hear it. while Justice Field,
who never had the ghost of chance
to win. offered himself once for a
nomination. The former disquieted
himself in vain, and the latter
financed boom from which only the
boomers gained any advantage
The case OF Justice Hughes is a
case apart. He had succeeded in
politics to that extent he was, or
was rapidly becoming, presidential
quantity when he quilted the field
Many OF his friends regretted the
step. but none had been able to pre-
vent it. All were obliged to acqui-
esce, and took leave of him with re-
greet.
Nothing that Justice Hughes has
said or done since has authorized a

The Calm of Confidence.

| A noteworthy feature of the pres
ent situation with regard to the
sinking of the steamer Arabic by a
German submarine is that the people
of the United States are remarkably
calm in the presence OF what is be-
| lieved to be crisis OF great gravity.
This, however, is not to be inter
preted as lack of concern as to the
outcome of the matter. 1t would be
unwise for Germany to deduce from
the quietude which prevails that this
country is not concerned in the is
sue. On the contrary, the country is
deeply stirred. The calm which now
prevails is the calm OF confidence
that the President will handle the
situation wisely and without in any
degree retreating from the firm stand
that he has taken with respect to the
treatment of our nationals at sea.
The people have faith in Mr.. Will
son. They know that he will act de-,
iberately to the end of acting right

the sincerity of his purpose to insist
upon American rights. They know
that in Secretary Lansing the Presi-
dent has an able adviser, skilled in
the Interpretation of international
laws and animated by the same
spirit of patriotism that inspired the
successive notes to Germany in the
case of the Lusitania. 1t is in this
confidence that they await with quiet
assurance the next steps that may
be taken, assured that there will be
no retrogression from the high plane
upon which the President has placed
the declaration of principles regard
ing the sanctity of human life.

single one of the many suggestions
coupling his name with the presi-
dency. Addressing himself to the
duties of the bench as diligently as
he had done to those of the govern
orship of New York. he soon made
good in his new place, and is now
making good there.
Political speculation has sought
him. He has not sought it. The
mention of his name in connection
with the republican nomination for
President grows out of situation
which he has had no part in fash
ioning. There are party divisions
which need healing. If they are not
healed another democratic victory
with their aid will probably be reg
istered next year. In the opinion of
many, Justice Hughes, above others,
is the man for the role of healer.
More bull moosers, it is asserted,
would support him than any other
man available. Why. therefore, not
take him, and make a certainty out
of what under another-any other
would be a problem?
Such is the Hughes boom. How
far the case is from that of either
Chief Justice Chase or that of JUS
tiee Field is apparent without the
use of glasses. The Supreme Court
is not. and should not become, i'm
mune from all political considera-
tions. Members do not take vows
for life. If there develops an over
whelming party or popular demand
for the services OF member in an
other place, he is. and should re-
main, free to accept it.

Starvation in Mexico City.

Red Cross reports state that
twenty-five persons die daily of star
walton in Mexico City. Meanwhile
the Mexican factions quarrel over
precedence, obstruct all plans for the
restoration of order and prolong the
anarchy that prevails over the greater
part of the republic, paralyzing its in
dustries and reducing the population
to the direst want. Mexico City is
perhaps only an example of the con-
ditions elsewhere. No one can tell
how many scores of people, perhaps
hundreds, are starving in Mexico
daily outside of the capital.
The United States has done its ut
most outside of actual independent
Intervention. to reduce the conditions
in Mexico to state or order. 1t has
joined with certain Latin-American
governments to appeal to the bellig-
erents to compromise their differ
ences in the interests Of the people of
the country. From one of the two
chief factors has come an indica-
ton of agreement, and from the
other. perhaps the major faction, at
present in control at Mexico City,
has come refusal to participate in
any peace conference. Responsible
ity for the prevalence of the afro
cious conditions in the capital is thus
placed squarely upon that faction.
How long the pan-American coun-
tries now joined in an effort to bring
about peace in Mexico can wait, with
regard for the requirements of hui
mainly. may not be stated with ex-
actness. Daily, however, twenty-five
are dying in Mexico City, and, per-
haps, hundreds are perishing else
where, for lack of food. This is an
intolerable condition. 1t is a dis
grace to the civilization of the west
ern hemisphere.
