msaniss q present. Caadidsta Wilson
is Is aaser. for votes as Candidate
Hughes. He has . record to explain
lis ppponents say to defend. Il does
not explain itself. There are many fca-
tures thst puzzle. His supporters are
busy, but not one Of them can give the
mbjeet the touches he can. Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Clark are his best assets, but
neither indofses the record in its en-
tirety. Mr.. Bryan is heart and soul
against preparedness, while Mr.. Clark
stoutly opposed the repeal Of the law
passing American eosstwise ships free
through the Panama canal. Mr.. Wilson,
necessarily, stands for every step that
has been taken.
. Mr.. Hughes is warming to his work,
and saying things calling for replies. Re
sponses from the crowds show that his
treatment of the tariff, the eight
law and the Mexican question is very
effective; and he is daily celebrating his
remarks on these matters. He is losing
nothing in the way Of dignity by his
canvass. He is simply doing what even
the President can afford to do-calling
on the people at their homes, and stat
ing his case by word Of mouth.

Tho Balkan Puzzle.

Inc 6alka0 kuzzlG..
For sheer bewildering confusion the
Balkan situation, both political and mill
tary, Is one Of the most puzzling ever
presented. Viewing the case from one
anglo It would seem as though the cause
Of the allies Is in . hopeless tangle.
Viewed from another, the Teuton cause
Is in desperate straits. In the Dobrudja,
the southern part Of Rumania, Gen.
Maekensen, with his coalition army Of
Germans, Bulgars and Turks, has sf-
fectsd . material invasion and estab-
ished . strong line south Of the Danube,
which apparently prevents any effective
invasion Of Bulgaria by Russia and Ru-
mania. Meanwhile the Rumanians have
pressed far into Transyivania. Now

The New York Battle.

The New York street railways are in
operation despite the strike. The sub
way trains are running about as usual,
and the elevated service is fairly normal.
The surface lines, however, are kept in
operation only by means, of cxtraordi-
nary protection by the police, 1000 of
whom were on duty yesterday for this
purpose. In Harlem veritable battles
were fought as cars were sent infre-
quently along the chief cross-town
street. Policemen were stationed on
roofs to command the street, and along
side Of each car ran two automobiles
filed with armed men, ready to fire at
the first sign Of rioting and blockade
maneuvers by the crowd. Many fights
occurred and several score Of people
were injured.
This condition stands in marked con-
trast to the injunction Of the strike
leaders 10 their followers to abstain
from all violence and to prevent sym
pathizers from engaging in violence. At
the outset Of every public utility strike
this word is solemnly passed to the
strikers, and it is invariably regarded
as negligible. At any rate it is never
obeyed. The strikers assemble in crowds
around car barns, on "picket" duty, to
prevent men from taking their places,
by apersuasiven methods. While per-
haps much Of the actual rioting and
track blocking is done by irresponsible
individuals who have no direct union
connections, the strikers themselves do
nothing to prevent the disorder. Indeed,
many of them openly engage in it, fight
ing strikebreakers and policemen and as
saulting passengers, clad even in their
old uniforms as street railway employees.
The truth is that street car strike Is
invariably attended with disorder. It
cannot be otherwise. In the very na-
ture Of the service trouble must ensue
when q strike is called unless the op-
Grating corporation simply shuts down
all operations and allows the public to
walk. Thus Q street car strike is es-
sentiaEy q physical fight, with the cor
poration and the municipality aligned
in battle formation against the forces
Of unionism and the unattached public,
loosely called sympathizers. With this
fact perfectly established by repeated

Another Pistol Victim.

Score another for the pistol in Wash
ington! This time the pistol user took
only his own life, though it is believed
that he endeavored to shoot woman
before he slew himself, and in a strug
gle to accomplish his purpose he very
nearly killed an intervening stranger.
Thus within few days four pistols
have figured in the oity's news, with
the net result of sir deaths. This is q
high price to pay for the privilege Of
getting guns quickly and without for
mality.
Probably in every one Of these fouI
cases the interposition Of q protective
permit system as barrier to hasty per.
sonal armament would have checked the
tragedy. And such system Of purchase
by permit would not interfere in the
slightest with the right and power OF
any person with legitimate need to
arm himself for defense.
The Commissioners are now consider.
ing their annual budget OF recommends.
tions to Congress. This Is not q fiscal
matter, but it belongs in the range OF
general recommendations. Will they NOT
take cognizance Of these four tragedies
climaxing long record of pistol crimes
and urge the passage Of law which
will punish any person who sells, barters
or gives deadly weapon to another
without the presentation Of permit, is.
