posite Arlington the memorial bridge
becomes virtually certainty of the
future, though it will require hard
work by patriotic organizations in
terested in this great project to Sc
cure its consummation. One of the
objections to the Potomac Park site
for the memorial was that it is in
no sense an objective point and is
not easy of access. If. however, the
memorial bridge is thrown across the
river in this locality it will induce
tide of travel between Washington
and Arlington that will make the
memorial a central point for all Wis
itors to the capital.
The memorial bridge is planned as
token of the reunion of the sec
tions, and nothing could be more fit
ting than the spanning of the Poto-
mac at this spot, especially now that
the Lincoln memorial is to flank the
eastern approach to the proposed
bridge. The G. A. R. encampment
next summer should, as Mr. Warner
suggests, be productive of a revived
demand for the bridge construction,
and the conspicuous display of the
corner stone that was given thirteen
years ago can do much to bring
about strong sentiment for the
construction.

Memorial Bridge.

The suggestion has been made by
Mr. B. H. Warner. who held impor-
tant committee positions in connec-
ton with the G. A. R. encampments
of 1892 and 1902, that during the COM
ing encampment of that organization
an effort be made to arouse interest
in the memorial bridge project
which has been awaiting congress
sional action for many years. Incl
dentally, Mr.. Warner proposes that
the corner stone for the bridge, do
mated in 1902 by the stonecutters'
union, and now placed at the corner
of Pennsylvania avenue and Madison
place, be raised from its present po-
sition, where it is obscured, and
brought more prominently into view,
with sign announcing its character
and history. .-

bomb has not played a highly I'm
portant part although some lives
have been sacrificed and much prop
erty wrecked. The fact appears to
be that such "hits" as are scored by
the aviator are more or less acci-
DENTAL and that in actual service the
bomb dropped from plane or dirigible
is not susceptible of accurate aim.
The other day an English ship cap
tain reported that a German air
plane had attacked him at sea and
dropped FIVE bombs in an effort to
sink him. None, however, struck the
ship, the nearest striking within
twenty feet of the bows. The plane
descended to within 500 feet of the
ship. The conditions would seem to
have been most favorable for sue
cessful attack, with no offensive
weapon on the vessel to compel the
aviator to keep a safe distance or to
maneuver to avoid being hit.
At Antwerp, in Paris, in various
English towns and elsewhere German
planes and dirigibles have taken life,
and the air machines of the allies
have inflicted damage also within the
German lines, but none of these per-
formances has shown that the air
bomb is susceptible of such accurate
direction as to render it trust
worthy weapon. 1t is conceivable
that large numbers of machines, fly
ing close together, sweeping over an
area of the enemy's territory, might
by dropping bombs in 'broadsides"
inflict great losses, but the belief
grows that the air fleet is not yet de-
veloped to the point of trustworthy
certainty of aim, and that the ma
chimes will for some time continue to
be chiefly valuable for scouting pur-
poses.

The President and Economy.

The President, it is said, will give
particular attention to the question
df economy when the new Congress
Organizes. 1t is explained that dur
Ing the recent Congress he was oc-
dupied with other questions. With
the tariff. the currency and the trusts
iii in hand and Congress putting up
rhany disputed points to him for COM
uromise and settlement, he had his
hands full. But with those questions
temporarily out of the way, he will
be able to turn to other things; and
of these economy will be the most
important.
The only formal expression thus
far by the President indicated that
he was not in sympathy with those
members OF his party, either IN or
out OF Congress. clamoring for the
cutting of everything in the way of
appropriations to the bone He
seemed to realize that too much had
been promised-too much molasses
spread-by his party's spellbinders
on the matter of supplies. A fair in
ference was that he believed in gen
erous support for the government,
and that anything less would be a
blunder.
He will be well advised if he sticks
TO that idea, and brings to bear on
Congress all the influence proper in
the case to secure supplies on that
basis. 1t might profit him, indeed. to
make the matter the subject of a spe-
cial message, going over the record.
and pointing to the growth and size
of the country, and to the national
necessities and resources. If we need
a good deal, it is also true that it can
be provided without pinching the
public. All required is that the ques-
ton be examined thoroughly, and
the money apportioned, not on sec
tional lines. or for campaign party
purposes, but on national lines and
for national, non-partisan purposes.
Were the democracy at the coming
session to cut the appropriations to
the bone" it would have to meet the
charge of playing politics with econ
omy for campaign purposes, of con-
Tossing, in effect, to great extrava-
gance on the part of the Sixty-third
Congress. and of injuring the coun-
try. And it will have enough charges
to meet as matters stand without
adding to the number.
The President, therefore, will have
a subject worthy of his best powers
of examination, of statement and of
pull" with Congress. He will have
a great deal at stake AS his party's
candidate he will have to bear the
brunt of the opposition's assault,
and, whether directly responsible or
not in all matters, must answer for
the whole record, the appropria-
tions and their effects included.

South America.

Former Senator Burton, on the eve
of departure for South America, was
the guest of the Pan-American So
ciety of New York Friday. Among
the speakers was Elihu Root, who, as
usual, had something of Importance
to say, and, as usual, said it we'll.
AS all know, there is purpose
now to increase our trade with that
section of this hemisphere. 1t is
field we have too long neglected. and
one we can enter with advantage be-
cause of the European war. Mr..
Root, with other eminent Americans,
wants the opportunity improved.
A point generally made by those
who discuss this subject is that we
must study South American business
needs and methods and conform to
them We must find out what the
people want, prepare it for them in
the way they want it, and lay it
down at their doors after the fash
ion with which they are familiar. In
other words, to employ the business
term, we must cater to the wishes of
our customers.
To this sound advice Mr.. Root adds
word about our manners. He thinks
they could be, and should be, i'm
proved in our dealings with a people
as courteous and ceremonious as he
has found the South Americans As
he puts it, we are too often
"brusque," and he adds that 1--WE can
all learn a lesson by studying the
manners of the South Americans"
The successful solicitor of business
sent from the United States to Latin
America, therefore, will be the man
who observes not only the business
but the manners of the people, and is
at pains to make himself agreeable
to them. The slap-dash style of the
drummer with the sample case "mak-
ing" towns and hurrying on after
telling few stories and taking few
orders, who was very likable figure
in our commercial affairs at an ear
lier day and appeared in our light
fiction and stage farces, will not do
for such an assignment, even when
possessing a workable familiarity
with the Spanish language.
But as the average American, in
business or out, is an adaptable in
dividual, we should, with the nudges
we are getting. be able to find the
right men for this service, and profit
by their activity The field is large
and inviting. and has never before
been the subject of the discussion it
is now undergoing. All phases of
the opportunity are under examina-
ton; and the manufacturing, the
mercantile, the banking and the po-
litical circles in this country are very
deeply interested.

At recent meeting of the George

was voiced against the overlooking

tering of dust; against the use of
soft coal and against the throwing of
refuse In the streets, especially in
front of fruit stands. All of these
nuisanees are properly subject to the

This would reduce the amount of
floating dirt appreciably. There is no
prohibition against the use of soft
coal other than that contained in the
smoke law, which textually pro-
seribes any emission of dense smoke,
but which under administrative appli-
cation grants a brief period of smoke
emission. A positive prohibition
against the throwing of refuse in the
streets, particularly fruit skins, pre-
walls today, but is not universally
recognized. All these nuisances
cumulate to the point of much pub
