IN addition to his program to be az

where every condition makes for clean
l:ness and the exclusion Of the pests.
Rut i'll the lunchrooms there is an es-
peeial reason why the flies should be
eliminated. They undoubtedly pollute
the food that is spread for customers,
particularly in those places where the
patrons help themselves at counters.
Preventive measures are possible if pains
are taken and money is spent. Only a
few prosecutions will be needed to dem
onstrate that the anti-ay rule is in
force and is meant to be observed, and
the standard of cleanliness in the city's
eating places will be raised. This is a
measure of precaution which should be
rigidly required whatever the trouble
entai.ed. Any person who observes an
establishment of this character where
the t;ies are thick should promptly le-
port to the health officer, thus consti-
tuting himself volunteer inspector for
the sake of the public health.

SON faces a-condition, not a theory. And
that condition is exacting. Lawyers and
publicists may argue pro and con the
constitutionality of the child labor
proposition, but the fact remains that
there is a pronounced demand for such
a law in many sections and among many
people. The enfranchised women and
those seeking the franchise are most in
sistent on the subject. Should Wilson
the President ignore this condition be-
cause Wilson the essayist some years
ago gave an opinion on the other side
as to the theory' That might be con-
sistency, and in way magnificent, but
would the Presidents supporters call it
politicsa Would it be politicss
Mr.. Cleveland, who had been an out
spoken civil service reformer before en-
tering the White House, was charged
with laxness as to the policy after he
had been in Office awhile. He heard
his accusers with what for him was a
display of patience, and then replied
that as President he had learned few
things about the civil service he did
not know when he was only swivel
chair reformer. And he let the matter
go at that Having left his library

Bathing in the Tidal Basin.

Col Harts' plan for the government
to take over the entire charge of the
tidal basin bathing facilities is well cal
culated to put that pool in the fullest
service for the people. The present ar
rangement whereby concession holder
controls the bathing facilities in the
basin is most undesirable. Until a
drowning occurred the other day the
public was not generally aware that
bathing in the basin was permitted un-
der the charge of lessee of house
boat anchorage, whose two guards, vol
unfairly provided by him, constituted
the sole precaution against disaster.
Now Col. Harts proposes that when the
present lease expires the government
shall provide its own bathhouse, where
the people can make use of the basin
for bathing freely, or, if an appropria-
tion cannot be secured for this purpose,
where for a moderate fee they can OBJ
tain dressing room facilities, with am
pie safeguards to prevent accidents. The
tidal basin is ideal for open water swim
ming, and if the attendance is limited
to the larger youths and adults, who
are known to be capable swimmers, there
is very small likelihood of mishap. No
person should be permitted to use it
who cannot produce certificate Of swim
ming competence.

Flies in Lunchrooms.

Whether there is danger Of infantile
paralysis spreading from flies or not, it
is well for the health department of the
District government to make sure that
the regulations which forbid the prevail
ence of these insects in public eating
places are enforced as far as possible.
Recently complaints have appeared in
The Star and others have reached the
health office that flies were thick in
some of the lunchrooms of the city. 1t
is pe-haps difficult to keep them out
altogether. 1t is hard, indeed, to keep
them OUT Of well ordered dwellings,

Mr.. Wilson and Child Labor.

And now it is charged that Mr.. VIII

point. Evidently the republicans are

Wilson's future in case of his defeat in
November? What will he do' Wait for

education, where he once achieved
notable successl Or take his pen in
hand again, and. as historian and es-
sayist reinforced by the politician and
executive give the world the benefit of
his experiences and reflections in the
past half dozen years7
Should he decide upon the last men
-loned course, Mr.. Wilson would un-
ioub.edly produce best seller. His
'tyie Is very engaging. and he would
have material in hand of interest to
great numbers
This latest change of mind is not on
all fours with other changes Mr.. Viii,
son has executed. Wilson the Presi.
dent is not quoted against Wilson the
President, as in the case of prepared
ness and that of tariff commission
but Wilson the writer against Wilson

Evening star., 1916-07-23
1916-192O.

The political quidnuncs are fore
handed set. Before the campaign of 1916
has been formally opened they are al
ready engaged in speculation about
1920.
1T seems to be agreed that, whether
reelected or defeated the coming No
vember. Mr. Wilson will not be a can
didate again four years hence. If re-
elected, he will have to bow to the third
term barrier. If defeated, he will pass
from the scene. True, Mr.. Cleveland
came back. There was small thought the
morning after the election of 1888 that
the defeated candidate for President
would ever appear in the arena again.
But not only did he appear at the next
trial of conclusions in his party, but
he achieved an easy victory over all
opposition to his candidacy for another
nomination.
Still. the chances would be against the
repetition of that history. The condi-
tions that brought about Mr. Cleveland's
resurrection in 1892 would not exist in
the case of Mr.. Wilson in 1920. 1t seems
altogether likely that if Mr. Wilson dies
at the polls this year he will be very
dead, and a new. live man be necessary
for the democracy's purposes in the next
quadrennial race
Equally likely is it that if Mr..
Hughes is elected this year he will be
reno.ninated. His case in 1920 will re-
senhle that of Mr. Wilson decided last
month at ST. Louis Whether personally
popular or unpopular with his party
then. he will be its logical leader in
its bid for Endorsement at the polls
But if Mr.. Hughes is defeated by Mr..
Wilson, Around that proposition play
some very interesting suggestions To
whom would the republicans turn then2
A new leader, it is insisted, would be
necessary.
At Chicago last month Mr. Hughes de-
feated a field of strong men. All were
of presidential size. Any one of them
would have led his party with credit.
Several, however, would carry weight
for age in 1920
Not the least interesting of these sug
gestions is one relating to Mr.. Roose-
welt. This is that if the republicans
are defeated this year they may turn
to him next time. The. argument runs
that by his course toward Mr. Hughes
he has rehabilitated himself in the good
graces of the republicans, and in such
circumstances might well aspire to his
old place at the head of the procession.
But it is long, long way to Tip
perary. Who may say what 1920 may
show on either side. The party that
wins this year will face the largest
order faced by either party in half
century; and as that order is executed
may be shaped the political complexion
of the national government for years to
come.
