which no country, no people, and no
race ever have carried for long with

When this war Is over hundreds
and hundreds Of thousands Of wage

going to lose their jobs because their

and hundreds Of thousands Of others
are going to lose their jobs because
what they are now producing is for

We'd all better think a good deal
about these things while we are hav-
ing our May-Day parades, our pros
perity strikes, and our wage in
creases to coal and other workers
with the bills going to the con-
sumers.
Capital and labor---the employer
prone to respond with the increased
wage out of his increased profits,
and the employee insistent that he
shall have it-would better consider
and discuss not whether high wages
can be paid and should be paid when
they are justified by profts-for
they should be-but whether this
particular time isn't the time, Of all
times, for the adoption Of sliding
wage scales above a certain normal
point.
Agree on q normal wage; add To
it as the value Of the product or the
service rises; add more and more II
that value continues to rise; but
when the value Of the product or the
service begins to fall, when the
profits diminish and then vanish, let
the excess wage cut itself, moving
gradually down the sliding scale to
the point where men can still find
employment to earn their bread and
butter, because capital can still earn
a profit.

LEWIS FOR TIL. SENATE

In nominating Congressman David
j. Lewis for the Senate, the Mary
land Democracy displayed better
judgment than it did, last year, in
rejecting Blair Lee for the COVER
norship. Mr.. Lee is essentially a
man Of State affairs. He has given
excellent service as State senator,
and he is by association, tradition,
and interest far better fitted for the
State than for the national field. II
last years decision were to be re-
viewed now, after the experience of
the recent Legislative session at An
napolis, it is altogether probable that
Senator Lee would be chosen for
governor. 49,. .".i -
On the other hand, Mr.. Lewis has
made place for himself in national
affairs that deserves the promotion
he has received at the hands of his
party. II is not to be set down that
this nomination is equivalent to cleo
ton; but 1t is the testimony that his
party, even in conservative Mary
land, recognizes the mans fitness
and his past service. Mr.. Lewis is
one Of the most radical men, of any
party, in Congress. He is a self
made man in the biggest sense; a
boy of the western Maryland mines,
who as literally dug out his edu-
cational preparation as he did the
thousands of tons Of coal that he has
taken from the ground. Coming into
Congress, he demonstrated himself
one of its masters of the subject of
transportation; deep student, and a
most analytical reasoner. His pre-
sentation Of the most radical view has
been moderate, sane, and attractive.
Hs> won the title of "father of the
parcel post" by his handling of that
subject, which contributed much to
establishing the system.
Maryland is a close State, with
every prospect of being sharply con-
tested this year, for both it's electoral
support and for the Senatorial seat
that is to be filled. Along with Mr.
Lewis for Senator, the Democrats
have nominated another man of radi.
cal opinions, in Jackson H. Ralston
of Prince George county, who has
been named for the Congress seat in
that close district. Mr.. Ralston's
civic services are widely known, and
with the leadership of him and OF
Mr.. Lewis, it may be expected that
the two parties will line up, in a
general way, on the radical and mod,
crate sides, and give Maryland g
chance to declare itself, as between
two schools Of thought, in a really
significant way.

AMERICAN HONOR AND IN
TEORITY SECURE

President Wilson's address at the
inauguration Of the National Service
School Military Encampment for
Young Women had tone which sug-
gested keen realization Of an immi-
nent crisis. Set over against certain
optimistic dispatches from Berlin, It
strongly suggests that optimism is
stronger in Berlin than in. the Pres
ident's mind.
It is an eloquent assurance Of,
rather than a plea for, national unity
in the face of a great test. The
President hoped that war would not
come to this nation; everybody
hopes that. But along with this he
suggested that there are some things
worse than war; and among these is
the possibility that our national
honor and integrity might be sullied.
1t is pointedly suggested that even
war, with all its horrors, has some
real compensations. For this coun-
try, it would mean an end of fac
tionism, of division, of effort at di-
luting loyalty. It has brought q new
conception Of national life, Of the
citizens supreme duty, to other ma
tons; even the contemplation of its
possibility is bringing that new con-
ception to America, 1t is fitting that
every American, in these hours Of
waiting for diplomatic word that
may mean war or peace, should read
and ponder these words Of the Presi-
dent:
Have you not thought what might be
the outcome of this great struggle, so
far as the nations already engaged are
concerned? Can you not imagine the
great awakening that has come to a
country like France. for example? How
much more intensely every Frenchman
and every German feels the national
compulsion than he ever felt II before?
How much more he feels himself not an
individual. but fraction In great
whole? How much more his blood
springs to the challenge OF patriotic
| suggestion? He is not fghting for his
| own life. He Is sacrificing his own life.
or willing to sacrifice It. In order that a
life OF hts nation.
SO in America we are getting already
the indirect benefit OF that suggestion.
We are beginning to realize how a ma
ton is a unit. and that any individual
| of 1t who does not feel the impulse OF
| the whole does not belong to II ard does
not belong in II.
God forbid that we should be drawn
| into war. but II we should be. America
| would seem once more to shake herself
| out OF a dream to say. did any man
| man deem that we had forgotten the
| traditions OF America? Did any man

honor or integrity of the United

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHAKES.
... PEARE

That minded and esthetic
center Of literary and artistic criti-
cism-and of stockyards-feels it
has not done its duty by Shakes
peare. The suit of William Shakes
peare against one Francis Bacon is
to be tried all over again.
That news is a distinct relief.
Though few would question the legal
competency of Judge Richard S. Tut
hill, who ruled that Bacon, not
Shakespeare, wrote the plays that
made somebody, as yet we can't be
quite sure who, immortal, yet it
might not be considered contempt of
court to suggest that perhaps the
evidence was not all in.
Why not submit the case of Mr..
Shakespeare to a jury of twelve OF
his peers? His memory, we should
think, would cry aloud to file a mo-
ton for such a trial. As sturdy
Anglo Saxons Messrs. Shakespeare
and Bacon certainly deserve the
benefits of our most historic Anglo.
Saxon legal institution.

THE GIRLS TENNIS TOURNEY

A competition which can engage
more than 1000 school girls in ac-
tive outdoor sport is Of sort to be
encouraged. Such is the effect of the
city-wide tennis tournament for
girls, now being conducted on eight
Of Washington's Fairgrounds.
Not so many years ago the partici-
patton of girls in any sort of ath-
letics, and especially in champion
ship games, would have been a shock
to many sensitive folk. The women's
colleges, with basketball and base
ball teams, have overcome that
prejudice, and have helped to make
It easier for girls to get an even
break in athletic opportunities with
pen. There is no longer any reason
Why the zest and spirit of outdoor
athletic competition should be pre-
empted by men, and women be
forced to the bridge table or the cro-
quet grounds for their diversions.
To give thousand girls in Wash
ington schools the chance to play
tennis is worth while; but even more
beneficial in the long run will be a
cultivation of the habit of indulging
In vigorous, out of door exercise, by
the tennis tournament and other ac-
tivities of the Fairgrounds.
For these reasons The Washing
ton Times has offered eight trophies,
one for each playground division, to
stimulate interest in the competition.
For the same reason the playground
department has arranged series of
individual medals. These Times
cups, to be given to the teams, and
to be displayed in the schools win
ming them, will give a school spirit
which should add to the other les
sons from entry into this COMPETE
ton, that of loyalty to the institution
the girls represent.

MAY-DAY WAGE TROUBLES

The labor situation, with it's pros
perity strikes, is not SO dangerous in
the present as it may become in the
future. 1t is easy enough for indus
tries, crammed with business at good
prices, to raise wages. In the ma
jority of cases they will raise them
because the intelligent employer al
ways acknowledges the right Of
labor to an increased share Of in
creased wealth produced by labor
and capital torether. The intelligent
employer likes to be abs 70 increase
wages when the increase is justified.
But the trouble comes when maxi
mum business falls and when abnor-
NAL profits disappear. Then must
be faced the question, the imperative
question, of cutting labor costs so
as to continue business.
There are two ways. granted that
a business is conducted otherwise on
scientifically economic basis, Of
chopping payrolls. One is to lower
the wages Of all the labor employed;
the other is to keep only the men
who are producing the most for their
wage, in one way or another, getting
rid of the others; or, if there cannot
be such discrimination, to run short
handed somehow.
Now, lowering all wages is a task
which is scarcely ever undertaken
without bitter and costly industrial
war. But, in any event, nine out of
every ten employers would rather
keep the best men at the high
wage and let the poorer men go, as
poorer men always must go, if there
is chance to get rid of them, when
they can't pay their own way-that
is to say, earn more than they get.
But if wide industrial strife is a
disaster not only for those who
directly engage in it but for the
whole country, then throwing hun.
dreds of thousands of workers of
payrolls so as to be able to pay the
jacked-up wages of those that are
kept on causes national paralysis.
There can be nothing more stupe
flying to the general welfare Of 9
country, though a part and yer,
great part of it's wage-earners ar,
employed at high pay, than to kav,
another considerable part producing
nothing, but consuming something

CASINO.

To understand how an interpretive
dancer can qualify as q motion pic
ture star one needs but to see Anna
Pavlowa in the adaptation of Franz
Auber's classic, "Massaniello," under
the title OF 1.-THE Dumb Girl of Por-
tici," at the Casino this week.
Few motion pictures have been pro
duced with so much care as The
Dumb Girl of Portici." Phillips
Smailey and Lois Weber directed the
production at the Universal studio
and deserve as much commentator
as the work of Nine. Pavlowa.
The Pavlowa ballet appears in the
picture on numerous occasions ana
Mime. Pavlowa herself does a number
of interpretive dances that mt the
action of the piece and do not really
seem to be dances. AS the mute sis
ter of Massaniello. she brings to the
part all of the pantomimic art or the
finished European actress. The story
OF the play Is one of deep tragedy.
Massaniello is the man chosen of the
people in a country oppressed with
heavy taxation by a luXury-lovinR
ruler, The son of the viceroy makes
love to Fenella, the dumb girl. and
then deserts her. The revenge OF the
people In overthrowing their rulers IL

this week. become the habit OF pro-
ducers. reformers will md no basis for
protest against the motion picture lure.
Douglas Fairbanks is the particular
star. The play is produced by the Fine
Arts branch OF the Triangle Company.
Fairbanks appears in the kind Of role
with which he has been 40 frequently
identified-that OF the carefree son of
a business absorbed father. In this In
stance the young man tries to induce
his father to allow him to give away
part of their immense fortune. When
father declines. the boy goes to n

and-out, and starts teaching the In
mates the gentle art of laughing. He

progress has been made toward de-
