Enforcing the Curb-Stopping Rule.

1t has been wisely decided by the
municipal authorities to suspend ar
rests on the score of violating the
new curb-stopping rule until the
motorists of the city are more fully
acquainted with the regulation. AL
though the requisite thirty days no.
tice was formally given of the new
rule, it is to be doubted whether 5
per cent OF the vehicle owners of the
District were aware of its terms when
suddenly the police began to notify
offenders that they were expected to
report under arrest. Now period OF
education is to be granted, and
doubtless by the time the District
building officials think the people arc
sufficiently informed the habit OF
obedience to the regulation will have
been formed and no arrests will be
necessary.
This is by far the best way to en-
force a law. Drastic and sudden ap-
plication is not required in case
of this kind. A rule of traffic is after
all merely intended to promote IA
cility OF action for everybody, and
it is to the interest of everybody to
observe every rule. This truth has
become recognized to a greater ex-
tent than ever. Motorists are with
very few exceptions anxious to keep
within the law, not merely to avoid
arrests, but to promote safety and
facility in the streets, for their own
sake This new curb-stopping rule
may not work out satisfactorily.
There are certain practical objec-
tons to it in some localities. where
the conditions must possibly be
changed. The whole system of mid
street parking is still in the expert
mental stage, and every new turn Of
the situation should be thoroughly
tested before the public is subjected
to the humiliation and trouble of ar
rests.

New Roosevelt Speculation.

German Forces Active.

Recent reports from the war zone
indicate that Germany is expected to
make a heavy drive in some direction
soon, and the near east is believed
to be the point at which the offensive
will be launched. Already. it is stated,
a large German Turkish force is being
massed in Asia for an attack on
Egypt, under the command of Gen.
Won der Goltz. A resumption of heavy
artillery fire accompanied by infan-
try attacks is reported from France,
where the Germans have shown signs
of having lately received reinforce
! ments. This may presage a renewal
of the offensive there, though the
weather conditions would seem to be
unfavorable for action. 1t would
doubtless be part of the German
strategy to inaugurate an aggressive
activity on the western front COIN
cidental with the opening of the real
campaign in Asia Minor against
Egypt, to prevent the detachment of
large allied forces to meet the drive
toward the canal.
Just now the British troubles in
the east are increasing. The failure
of the Mesopotamia expedition, which
is at present reported to be in grave
peril of annihilation, has undoubted-
ly lessened the prestige of the allies
in Asia. The Persians are understood
to be FESTIVE and inclined to resist
Russian movements. An Arabian COL
umn has been described as moving
eastward toward the Indian frontier,
for the evident purpose of striking
British India on the flank. With
these movements in progress to
menace British holdings in the east
it is probable that many of the new
levies will be needed elsewhere than
in France, where it was expected that
there would be heavy assemblage
of forces for the spring movement.

Congress and Public Sentiment.

Little was done by Congress be-
fore the holiday recess, but the time
was not wasted. New members had
opportunity to take a look at old
members and at the floor leaders,
and old members to confer together
as 10 business. Machinery was in
spected, and arrangements made tor
full speed ahead after reassembllng.
The fortnight was we'll consumed.
Something of advantage. too, should
come from the recess. Members re-
turning home will not devote them
selves entirely to merrymaking, but
improve the occasion to sound such
local sentiment on leading national
issues as may have been formed since
the President delivered his annual adj
dress.
Before the address was delivered
there was only conjecture as to how
far the President would go on the
subject of preparedness, and what his
ideas might be as to footing the bills.
Now the country knows. He has
stated his case clearly enough. He
wants an adequate defense. and wants
it paid for as we go. No bond issue.
How has this struck the average
voter? What has he to say as be-
tween bonds and new taxes? And.
If he prefers new taxes, how should
they be laid? Is he with the Presi-
dent in the sources OF revenue the
latter recommends, or has he an as
sessment list of his own?
Senators and representatives re-
turning here in January will have in
formation on these points likely to in
Auence them i'll their course when
their votes are called.
The hope OF the millennialists is
in divisions that may grow out OF this
phase of the case. They are expect
ing the ardor of the advocates of pre-
paredness to cool after considering
more fully the question of ways and
means. As they assert, the country
has been rushed" on the general
subject. Such is Mr.. Bryan's notion
and such the basis OF his trust that
preparedness may yet be beaten.
That preparedness will cost some
thing is plain enough, and has been
from the start No man. in Office or
out. declaring for the policy has been
in doubt on that point at any time.
But equally plain has it been that, for
a purpose SO pressing and patriotic,
the people will stand the necessary
assessment.
II may not be an easy matter to
decide where the money should be
found The subject is such as to pro-
woke discussion and cause friction.
But defeat would be calamity; and
both parties should guide By that fact
when the time comes for action With
money in abundance, to deny the
country the protection it needs
would be the limit for shortsighted-
ness.

imagines shat such candidacy could
succeed? What better way of giving
to Mr.. Roosevelt the political death
stroke? How many votes would such
a nominee poll? And where would
they be found?
1t is. to be conceded that there is
not the popular prejudice now against
capitalists that existed a few years
ago. The change is as observable in
administration quarters as elsewhere.
No American banker or promoter has
expired on a gallows as high as that
from which Hannah was worked of.
Everywhere, the White House in
cluded, men of means engaged in en-
terprises of public consequence are
welcome. and their good will is culti-
waited.
But this would not warrant move
ment for manipulating national con-
vention, and, through a political par
tv. acquiring control of the country.
Such movement would be hailed
viii: del;sh; by Mr.. Wilson and his
friends. They could ask nothing bet
ter for next year. Mr.. Roosevelt as
the candidate of the republican party
so metamorphosed would be more
welcome to them than as the candi-
date again of the bull moose party.
They would have a much easier time
than in 1912.
There is but one way tor MI.
Roosevelt to avoid being an asset
again of tire democratic party, and
that is by supporting straightout re-
publican for President. Not repub-
lican looking backward instead OF
forward. Not republican properly
called reactionary in his principles.
Not a republican who in Office would
show any resentment growing out OF
the faction fighting which began at
Chicago in 1912. But a republican
trained in the party's old and long
time creed, and of the opinion that
republican policies are as workable
today as ever, and capable of pro-
ducing again a national advancement
and prosperity. And such a repub-
lican, republicans as we'll as former
bull moosers should desire to see
nominated.

Christmas Gift.


Old Santa wants present, folks
IT'S certainly his due,
For all the joy that he evokes
Each Christmastide anew.
Of course, he has a wondrous store
OF quaint and pretty things;
You'd scarce think he'd want an
more
Than what his reindeer brings.
But he is lonely in his home
Up north throughout the year,
And in his discontent must roam
In search of human cheer.
So let's forget our irksome tasks,
And practice for awhile
To give old Santa what he asks
One universal smile.
