expect the police department to prevent
this sort Of crime entirely, and the de-
lection of the thieves after the event is
! most difficult. The loot is usually taken
out Of town and disposed Of elsewhere.
Money can, of course, never be traced.
Householders should be especially
careful at this season to see to the fast
enings of their doors and windows and
to take every possible precaution against
entry of premises. The ordinary house
fastenings are, of course, not safe

to whom even the stoutest safe offers no
serious obstacle. In all likelihood, how
ever. the thieves who lre now operating
here are not highly skilled in their
criminal trade and are selecting inse
eurely protected places for their opera
tons
Probably much of this crime is a re-
suit of the excessive cost of living ne
cessities. The poor are feeling the
pinch severely, and doubtless many peo-
pie are being driven to crime in con-
sequence This, however, is no comfort
to those who are robbed, who them
selves are feeling the pinch of the high
prices and can i'll spare that which is
taken from them.

Iilunine the Monument!

=. A bill has just been introduced in the
House providing for the installation of
four grca. saarchlights IN the Washing
ton Monument with the idea of ''illumi-
mating the shaft. Far more effective
than this would be the placing of bril-
liant lights at some distance from the
shaft so that their rays would play upon
It and cause it to glow in the darkness.
Already the peak of the Monument is
illumined from one side by searchlight
that is east upon it from the roof of
one of the hotels. making il a conspieu
..ous mark in the night. A full lighting
6 of the shaft from base to capstone by
q series Of lamps placed on the quarters
at distance would produce one of the
mos. remarkable effects in America. The
white stone Of the Monument shines
. forth under the rays of powerful cleo
tric lamps. and with the blackness of
the night SKY as q background this
graceful outline would become one of
q the wonders of Washington.

Potomac River Power.

Another postponement of the Potomac
river water power project IS indicated
by the latest report to the Secretary of
War by board of engineer officers. 1t
was thought that enough was known of
the conditions of the Potomac, the en-
gineering questions involved and the
economic prospect of the matter to JUS
tify the government in proceeding with
out further delay in undertaking this
work Yet here comes another board,
setting forth the feasibility of the
project, estimating the cost at $l4000,000
and then recommending more ex-
haustive research into the advisability OF
this development. Some doubt Is east
upon it on the score of the possibility
that it may not produce power as cheap
ly as it can be produced by steam in the
near future 1t is also indicated that
possibly there will be no assured market
for the surplus left after the govern
ment has supplied its own requirement.
For some years past the United States
has been preaching conservation. Inn
mense sums of money have been spent
by the government in works for the
utilization of natural resources and the
prevention of waste. An expensive es-
tablishment is maintained to keep the
doctrine of conservation constantly be-
A. nt rirbt hor of ba
very doors of the seat of government
power has been allowed to go to waste
for decades which might have been util-
lied economically. 1t would seem as
! though such a conspicuous object lesson
would have been utilized as a measure
of demonstration alone, apart from the
necessity of the governments require
flents.
The force of the whole conservation
argument is weakened by the spectacle
of this continual proerastination in the
matter of power project of such OBJ
vious utility and feasibility. The fact
that at present there is but a slight mar
gin between the estimated cost of Po-
tomac river power and steam made
power should not stand as reason
against immediate execution of this
work If there is one thing certain
above any other. it is that coal is be
ing exhausted in this country. Scien-
lists may differ as to how long the coal
supply will last. but that there is an end
to it somewhere in sight cannot be dis
puted The government should be the
first to move in the direction of con
serving this supply by utilizing every
possible form of natural power making
force
Another survey of the Potomac river
will cost money. 1t will cost time. 1t
will lead to no assured result 1t will
in all likelihood leave the question
where it has stood in the past, indeed
where it stands today. Enough is
known of this matter now to warrant
| immediate legislation looking to the be-
ginning of this work. with no more
waste of time and power.

A ProEhef and His Prophecy.

Col. George Harvey. having disobeyed
famous injunction and prophesied
% without knowing, has since election day
been paying the penalty He had picked
Hughes. and supported his opinion with
some very eogent and persuasive rea-
soning. Fate brought Wilson; and some
friends in clever badinaye and foes in
q sort of derision have had month of
exercise at his expense.
He replies in the current number of
his publication, in good temper and in
. q way to increase respect for his talents
as a political observer and controver-
"sialist. His examination of the cam
paign, the issues. the actors and the re-
suits, is, indeed, an excellent piece of
writing
As a resident of New Jersey doing
business in New York, Col. Harvey ven
:, ..tured his opinion largely, we may be
sure, on his knowledge of the local sit
uaticn. And, as to that, he had the

Patronage and the Second Term.

While the President will have his
hands full between now and the 4th
of March, there is one matter not likely
to plague him in that time. He will
: hardly consider patronage as related to
: his seeold term until that term begins
s:snd he has had opportunity to look
around.
Some speculation is already in eireula-
tion as to how many reappointments the
President will make. and what signif-
eanee will attach to new appointments.
1t may be that men in Office with
good official records will be rewarded
: for their records The President may
decide that one good term deserves an
: other as, according to his friends, the
.''country has just decided in his own case.
But should he adopt different policy
=. and pass the cake around" he will have
"a majority in the Senate to confirm his
new selections.
So The President is probably advised of
the fact that much interest attaches
ein his own party to the part he will
play in l920-whethcr he will care for
"a third nomination and try to secure it,
or content himself with naming the
'"'man.
-. And here is where the speculation
- about patronage comes in. If many re-
appointments are made. it is argued that
- they will indicate purpose on the
Presidents part to keep the machine in
his own hands for his own benefit. If
many new appointments are made they
.. will be searched for sign as to the
-" Presidents preference for the success
sion
: '--' Today it is noted that the Presidents
relations with democrats of presidential
size and mentioned in gossip about the
presidency are cordial. All of them gave
=. him loyal support in the recent cam
'paign. All are callers at the White
House Nearly all are in Office. Nearly
: all were competitors of his at Baltimore
four years ago.
If the Presidents second term is a
: success his party's nomination in 1920
=, will be very valuable. Hence. if he does
not try for it himself, it is certain that
there will be a lively contest for the
honor And his favor, of course. will be
"A most desirable asset. 1t is popular

successor Mr.. Wilson may desire to name

A Car Trackage Improvement.

Changes in the Capital Traction track
age system west of the State, War and
Navy building and south of Penn
sylvania avenue are calculated to re-
lieve the congestion that now exists on
18th street between New York avenue
and Pennsylvania avenue, and conse-
auently on Pennsylvania avenue itself.
Certain ears that now operate on the
18th street line are to be worked west
ward from 18th street, and by means of
loop at 10Th street to be returned to
their trunk without passage down 18th
street and east on the Avenue. This will
give service to a section that is now
without transit facilities. The most i'm
portant effect, however, is the relief of
the 18th street and Pennsylvania ave
nue. congestion. The greatest difficulty
in Washington's present traction system
lies in the concentration of ears upon
certain midcitv trunk lines. The alter
nate passing of ears at intersections in
traffic halts many ears and demoralizes
the service. The remedy lies in either
more trunks or diversions of the traffic
such as that proposed in the present
ease by means of the 18th 10Th streets
loop. Anything that will carry ears to
the points of local need and at the same
the center of the city is desirable.

Robberies.

A veritable epidemic of crime has de-
veloped in Washington recently Many
from dwellings. Thieves have broken
fastenings and windows. and have taken
advantage of openings. Footpads have
held up persons on the streets. Condi-
tions, in short, have been decidedly bad
for some weeks past. The police are do
ing their utmost to check this robbery
wave. but are handicapped by lack of
numbers and by the circumstances in
which the thieves work. 1t is unfair to

goods" Both those states, though
claimed with such confidence by the
! democratic managers, voted for Hughes
in big figures. Had states at distance,
whose republicanism was taken for
granted not only by Col. Harvey, but
many others, lived up to their records
of years, Hughes would have won hands
down.
How little the real situation was popu-
larly sensed was shown by the readi-
ness with which the Wilson supporters in
the east conceded defeat after ascer-
tanning how the strongholds in their
section had voted. Evidently they had
based their calculations, as Col. Harvey
has his, on the influence of the east on
the contest With New York, New Jer-
sey and New England united to the
powerful states of Pennsylvania, Hi
nois and Indiana in the Hughes column,
democratic success seemed impossible.
1t came to them, as to others, as great
surprise.
There is no part of Col Harvey's pa
per more creditable to him than his
tribute to the candidate whose defeat
he deplores. He speaks Of Mr.. Hughes
and his services in the campaign in
terms of the highest appreciation. He
describes him as strong and superior
man who did his best, and that best the
very best. and ventures the prediction
that in time there will be wide recogni-
tion of the fact.
A prophet who loses so well. and eX-
plains so cheerily and readily, is en-
titled to retain his place and prophesy
some more And such will probably be
the result Col Harvey will pick his
prophetic flint and try again
