One Danger Averted.

A pup is an example of desirable re-
straint,
As through this world 80 carelessly
he frisks.
Sometimes he's kind and gentle and
then again he amt,
And it's customary to avoid all
risks.
You do not make him promise that
all angry ways shall cease.
But, for fear his disposition slips a
cog,
You receive a word of warning from
the vigilant police
That you've got to put a muzzle on
the dog.
The treaties may be broken that are
framed with patient care,
While explosives are projected far
and near.
Destruction may be scattered through
the sea and in the air,
As in hopes of peace we vainly per-
severe.
But at least there is one danger we've
averted with great skill,
As through life's short, uncertain
way we Jog.
We have curbed the naughty canine
and compelled him to keep still
We've arranged to put . muxzie on
the dog.

Open Car Crowding Remedy.

The public utilities commission in
clines to the belief that the real rem
edy for open car crowding is more
cars, which would seem to be rea-
sonable conclusion, and consequently
it suggests to the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company that that
remedy be adopted. 1t appears that
in the spring of 1913 a ratio was es-
tablished whereby FIVE open cars
were regarded as equivalent to eight
closed cars, but experience proves
that FIVE open cars are thus equiva-
lent only when the running boards
and the spaces between seats are oc-
cupied. With the running board elm
mated as standing room for safety
reasons and with the spaces between
the seats obviously an improper po-
sition for standing passengers, the
real capacity of FIVE open cars be-
comes actually no greater than that
of five closed cars, and accordingly
the commission is inclined to change
the ratio to even terms. 1t is GER
tain that if this proposed change
takes place the public will be much
better served, without indecent be-
tween-seats erowding.

The British and German Issues.

In the matter of the controversy
between the United States and Great
Britain it is to be borne in mind that
the issues do not affect human lives,
and that in the final analysis of the
matter there is an ample opportunity
for this country to secure redress of
grievances through successive ap-
peals, reaching to international arbi-
tration. This process, of course,
makes for delay, but delay is not in
curably injurious where only prop
erty rights are concerned. Ample
compensation is assured to any ship
owner or cargo owner whose vessel
or goods may be seized unlawfully.
On the other hand, the contro-
versy between the United States and
Germany involves human lives. This
country is undertaking to enforce a
principle of protection based upon
international law and the funda-
mental doctrines of humanity. De-
lays are distinctly dangerous, and
may cause incurable destruction. No
international arbitration can bring
the dead back to life. No court, how
ever high, can right a wrong that
has resulted in slaughter and sacri-
fee.
1t is this difference between the
two dealings that causes the Ameri-
can people to be patient in the case
of Great Britain and impatient in the
case of Germany. As far as lives are
concerned there is no issue between
Washington and London, and the
dispute may run on for long time
without inflicting any incurable harm.
If, however, the government at Ber-
lin does not conform to the Ameri-
can demand for the recognition of
international law in the maintenance
of submarine warfare losses may be
inflicted that can never be compen-
stated for in any tribunal or in any
form.

New jersey.

Four of the most prominent bull
moosers in New Jersey have just sew
cred their relations with that organ
ization and returned to the republican
party. The reason given is their be-
lief that through that party must
come the conditions they desire to
see the country enjoy. In their judg-
ment the democracy in national Of
fee has failed, and should be retired
from control Bull moosery, they can
easily see, is declining, while repub-
lieanism is rising, and they want to
be associated with something practi-
cal and on the up grade.
The interest in this step otherwise
than local lies in the fact that New
Jersey is the Presidents state. For
years it was very close politically,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-08

gress several years before and taken
up the duties of Governor of Ohio
Mr.. Reed had remained in the House
and again become Speaker. When
they appeared as rivals for their
party's national leadership it was
thought Mr.. Reed had an advantage
in his place. He would be more in
the national eye while delegates to
the national convention were being
sought. He carried himself, as at a
previous time, admirably in the
speakership, but did not obscure Mr..
Mckinley, who was conducting his
campaign from Columbus.
Mr.. Mckinley won his nomination,
and subsequently the election, on his
tariff record. With the death of Mr..
Blaine, he had become the foremost
representative of the policy of pro-
lection in the country. And the
country-particu1arly the business
interests-after a brief experience
with a tariff tinkered on half-and-
half lines-here little protection,
and there a little free trade-wanted
to get back to straight and undis-
guised protection, and accomplished
the purpose by calling the leading
apostle of that policy to the presi-
dency.
Both the republican party and the
country chose wisely. Mr.. Reed had
great ability and had performed great
services, but as a candidate against
Mr.. Bryan he would not have met
the situation. He was protection
ist, but the campaign cry which
turned the scale-"Open the mills in
stead of the mints'-would not have
carried as far from him as it did from
Mr.. Mckinley.

neither party when triumphant hav.
ing much in the way of majority o,
plurality to brag about.
Three years ago Mr.. Wilson got the
benefit at home as elsewhere of a re-
publican division. Some of the
strongest republicans in the state
bolted Mr.. Taft and voted for Mr.
Roosevelt, with the result that the
Jersey democrats had easy going in
the campaign.
Since then new tariff law has
been enacted, and it is far from
popular with the Jerseyites. The
state is manufacturing hive. Capt.
tai and labor are employed on large
scale, and unless both prosper there
is discomfort. AS neither has pros
pered in the past two years there is
much discomfort.
A return to the declared policy OF
protection is desired. and both bull
moosers and republicans share the
desire. That is one influence operat-
ing to draw them together again.
If they reunite and appear in
their old form it will at least put the
democrats on their mettle, and maybe
on the defensive. In the latter event
the effect would be far reaching. For
if his hold at home should weaken
the President would suffer in prestige
at distance.
There are no new Developments on
the democratic side of the fence. The
Smith-Nugent faction is not in Mr..
Wilson's favor, nor he in its. There
are no exchanges of any kind be-
tween them. At present no signs ap-
pear threatening a renewal of hos
tilities. But an armed truce between
their factions will carry no comfort
to democrats if the republican fac
lions come together for energetic
action.
New Jersey as a next-door neigh
Dor plays politics with something Of
the skill that marks the game in New
York; and for the next fifteen
months those two states will reward
those who follow the proceedings
there closely.

The Value Of the Limelight.

Five of the men mentioned in con-
nection with the republican nomina-
ZION for President hold congressional
commissions. Messrs. Weeks, Borah,
Gummins and Sherman are members
df the Senate, while Mr.. Mann is
member of the House. All will have
opportunity, therefore, to keep them
selves we'll before the public during
the maneuvering preliminary to the
holding of the republican national
convention.
Mr.. Mann has one advantage.
While the four senators are all
prominent in the iabors of the SEN
ate, none of them is the minority
leader of that body. They participate
ii party team work, and share in
what is accomplished for the party's
Rpod.
In the House Mr.. Mann is the re-
publican leader. He will direct at
the coming session the execution of
his party's program. He will shape
some of the features of that pro-
gram. As the democratic majority is
shall, he should be able by good gen.
efaiship to give the opposition run
for its money. So that if the repub-
lican record of the session in the
House is good, the lions share Of
the credit will go to the man who
has led the minority.
But Messrs. Root, Burton, Fair
banks and others, either out of Office
or not in national Office, need no,
despair. The race is not always to

East. West and Between.

Mr.. Chamberlain OF Oregon VIII
preside over the committee on mill
tary affairs, and Mr.. Tillman of South
Carolina over the committee on naval
affairs. in the Senate when Congress
meets. and Mr.. Hay of Virginia and
Mr.. Padgett of Tennessee will, re-
.pectively, fill similar positions IN the
House. The question of an adequate
national defense will be in good
hands geographically.
Mr.. Chamberlain knows, and repre-
sents, Pacific coast sentiment on the
subject of preparedness. Personally,
be is very popular at home, although
a democrat coming to the Senate
from a state normally republican.
He has for some time been an advo-
cate of, an improved military estab-
.lishment, and has frequently con-
ferred with Secretary Garrison on
the subject.
Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. Hay know
present sentiment as to the navy
and the army on this, the Atlantic,
side of the country. Hitherto they
have not favored large appropria-
lions, but both announce change OF
xfew, and will cooperate with the
administration in its policy of in
ereases for defense purposes. Mr..
Hay recently expressed himself in an
Interview with representative of
The Star, while Mr.. Tillman, visiting
il Portland, Ore, expressed himself
3 the press there only the other day.
tMr. Padgett, as a Tennesseean.
lnows the sentiment of the middle
lection of the country, which, al
though at distance from salt water,
j yet interested in the country's
&rength afioat. He, too. will confer
$ith the President as to the admins
cations course on the subject of pre-
saredness, and give it support.
While there is nothing partisan or
Sectional in this question, it is good
ding that all sections will participate
q the coming action. We shall have
I clearer knowledge of the situation
md take more intelligent steps after
listening to statements representing
he views of both seaboards and the
Guntry lying between. We shall be
foviding for all, and therefore
should know the full nature of the
general demand.
There should be liberal compile
ihent of ships for each of the two
areat oceans. The Panama canal. to
be sure, will enable US to pass ships
Eapidly from one ocean to the other,
but the number to be passed should
BE equal to the greatest possible
