a tuning up prior to the tennis match

it was better to serve him double

1T SHOULD BE SICNED!

The seamen's bill is passed and in
the hands of the President for his
signature. A rumor is being circu-
lated that he may decline to sign it.
While the bill is not everything
that could be desired with reference
to safety at sea, it yet contains some
clauses to which the shipping inter-
ests are opposed. We are inclined to
think that the rumor Is distributed
by those antagonistic to the legisla-
tion, and that the wish is father to
the thought.
This legislation has grown out of
disasters at sea and loss of life that
occurred through them. The Titanic,
the Volturno, the Monroe, the EN-
press of Ireland, through the great
losses of life, awakened the public
mind to realization that legisla-
tion to guard against such accidents
must be enacted. While this bill
does not go as far in this direction
as it ought to, it is such an improve
ment upon present conditions that it
is hard to believe the President will
withhold his approval.
The seamen's side of this legisla-
tion is fulfillment of the promises
made at Baltimore by the Demo-
cratic party, and a compliance of
Congress with the Presidents own
recommendations in his message of
December 2, 1918. The bill is hu-
manitarian III it's essence; it is by
no means hasty. Congress has had
ample time since the loss of the IT.
tanic to look into every phase of
this subject, and this bill is the re-
suit of such compromise as seems to
be inevitable in legislation.

IA CHECK ON "FlENDS"

rr'::.ere went into effect today the
r&wl Federal law governing the sale
d habit-forming drugs. the strin-
gent. provisions of which are ex-
n6cted to reduce the sales of "dope"
aid thereby lessen the number of
'fends." enforcement Of the stat
ute is in the hands of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, acting under in
structions from the Secretary of the
treasury. Congress appropriated
$a50,00O for its execution.
Regulations controlling the sale of
shch drugs are prescribed which
make it practically impossible for
\peddlers to continue their trade, and
make it likewise difficult for the man
Of, the house behind the peddler to
etcape detection. A record must be
Kept of every sale, stating the
amount sold and the name of the
purchaser. This supplies the rem
eey,- the evidence, that the States
LICKED in attempting to break up H.
licit traffic in drugs, for State
could not 60 beyond its own boun-
daries, whereas there is no limit to
tie operation of the Federal act. An
other wholesome effect of the law
will be to discover and outlaw that
class of physicians who have found
catering to drug victims profitable
pfactice and who encourage the drug
habit. Now there must be an ac-
ceunting; as strict a watch will be
kept over the sale Of drugs as over
the sale of intoxicating liquors. with
the vast difference that the drug law
will restrict the sale of harmful
drugs, and removes the temptation
fur from all.

FARM BOYS CLUBS

SThe farming boys clubs already

With US. These spring visitations
have gained marked popularity with
ID the last few seasons, and WASH
i4gton bids fair to be the mecca,

o$ this sort, as we'll as of the thou
sSnds who already wend their way

sAason.
washington can we'll afford to en-
cSurage these pilgrimages in every
way possible. The Chamber of Com
nSerce, or some other similar organi-
z1tion, might easily issue literature
obtaining information to the vari-
obs high schools, whose graduating
casses make up these parties that
add to the gayety of the city each
sbring.
I'm New England especially many
high school classes have abandoned
elaborate graduation exercises, and
pboled their money instead, for a
sSeing Washington visit. Such a
plan combines the love of travel in
born in every youthful heart, and
gives these pupils an insight into the
sSat of their Federal Government
they could get in no other way. They
return home with a higher patriot
ism, not of the jingo type, but of a
sort born of a better knowledge and
a. wider acquaintance with the in
shuments of their Government.
.Other cities fight hard to advcr-
tesc their merits. Washington al
ready is advertised from coast to
coast. All that the business men of
this city need do would be to make
known hotel rates, and other infor-
nation needed for such expeditions
here.

LIQUOR AND THE WAR

1t was Russia which furnished the
first striking governmental recogni-
tion of the fact that war is a very
big business enterprise, in which the
fullest efficiency of the employe-
the soldier-must be insisted upon
by the employer-the government.
But Russia's acceptance of this sit
uation did not commit it to any new
theory. The anti-liquor movement
in this country, which now counts
the conquest of eighteen States for
the dry column, has been promoted
vastly more by the interest of big
business, corporate and otherwise,
than by sentimental and religious eff
fort. Rigid restriction or prohibi-
tion of the liquor traffic began to
make big gains when business de-
cided that it was suffering through
the inefficiency of workers resulting
from use of liquor. The railroads
were leaders in crusades to prevent
such Indulgence; they have been fol-
lowed by many other employers.
Now comes the British govern
ment, with bitter complaint, voiced
by Mr.. Lloyd George, that the much
needed employees of the armament
works will not all work full time be-
cause drink interferes. The govern
ment, he declares, needs munitions
even worse than it needs men, and
fthe situation is grievous one. Be-
cause of it, he announces, the gov
ernment is considering further meas
ures for control of the traffic. The
nature of these measures is yet to
be announced, probably in the com.

Reducing Special Messengers Salary
To Keep CITY Postoffice Going.

To the Editor ot THE TIMES.
By an order OF city Postmaster Otto
Praeger. the pay of special delivery
messengers, on and after March ]. will
be $50 per diem instead OF s cents per
letter as was formerly paid.
This is a reduction in pay Of alput
rs per cent. At the old rate messengers
could earn an average of SIS month.
At tn" new rate of $50 per diem tn"
monthly pay will be about $3.50.
This Is 4 great injustice to the mcs-
scngers, the majority of whom are mar
-ied men or have somo one dependent
on them.
Messengers arc required to furnish
two uniforms year. to furnish their
bicycle and keep same in good repair,
and to give sl.tr bond. Uniforms cost
about 81. each. bicycles average 81
each. and repairs average A.
AS messengers not only deliver mall
to every part "f the District. but also
I" Chevy 'has" and Takoma, these
long trips wear n bicycle out in about
six months.
Messengers are required TO report on
week days at S:i5 a. M. and Sundays at
6 81 a. m. one week, and the next week
3 p. IN, and are supposed to be relieved
at 2 p. m. and II p. m; respectively. but
ofttimcs are required to leave with
mail for delivery a fow minutes before
time to be relieved. This trip may re-
urre ono or two hours. so this many
times makes long day. for which We
arc offered $40.
In my time Of service as special de-
livery messenger -four and onc-lIi Y
months to dtsc,. five bicycles have been

to accidents. Since Christmas ;nr"c

United States Adds 1873
Ships to Its Registry

Almost half million tons have been
added TO the American merchant marine
since the law admitting foreign-built YES
scls to American registry was passed last
August
To the end of February, 1873 foreign
built vessels had been placed under
American registry, with an aggregate
tonnage OF 475.524, the Department of
Commerce announced today.
Notice was given by the department
that the steamship NJ. s. Dollar. of San
Francisco, a British vessel, admitted
under the new law, had been suspended
from American registry. No reason was
assigned.
