The South at Chicago.

The published correspondence which
has passed between Representative
Slemp of Virginia and Justice Hughes
puts no new aspect on the attitude of
the latter toward the Chicago nomina-
tion. That he is out of politics we all
know. That he is opposed to the use
Of his name in connection with the
presidency he has stated before. That
he is entirely sincere in the matter ad-
mits of no doubt. But that he would
refuse the nomination if offered by the
Chicago convention is not in this latest
deliverance; and such statement by
him could not in reason or fairness be
demanded or expected by anybody.
1t is strange that those who regard
Justice Hughes with so much favor
should go contrary to his wishes. They
are forwarding neither his nor their own
interests by doing so. His nomination
is out of the question unless as the ex-
preston of the convention after a can
vass of the claims of all who have been
aspirants for the prize; and equally out
honor if it comes to him in that way
No man in any position is superior to
such a call made in such manner.
The activity referred to in this cor
respondence is in southern state. Did
the southern republicans learn nothing
at Chicago in 1922 Have they forgot
ten the turmoil that took place over
their delegates, and the consequences
Are they not just as helpless now as
then to deliver any electoral votes to
their partya For that reason should not
the states in which the republican
strength lies make the nomination?
The south remains democratic, not
withstanding criticism in that quarter
Of the President and some of his poll
cies. She will vote the ticket in No
vember. Mr.. Wilson all but paralyzed
Louisiana on the sugar question. Geor-
gia through her senior senator has COM
planned of his course respecting the ex-
port of cotton. There is anti-prepared-
ness sentiment in several southern
states. Nevertheless and nothwithstand-
ing, the st. Louis ticket will be Endorsed
at the polls throughout all that section.
Whether the republican nominee be
Hughes, Roosevelt, or another, he will
not have look-in anywhere in the ter
ritory known as the solid south.
The problem at Chicago will be hard
enough without adding to it feature
which in times past has given republican
leaders a great deal of trouble. Those
states which must be depended upon to
elect the ticket should have the con-
trolling voice in naming it. Any other
course will subject the action to criti-
cism, and render the campaign very diff
fcult indeed. The south at Chicago
should be the advised and not the ad-
wiser.

Department Hours and Traffic.

The suggestion that has been made
to Chairman Kutz of the public utilities
commission that the government work
ing hours be changed SO as to spread
the arriving and departing crowds over
a longer period in morning and evening
is not novelty. 1t was preached in
the columns of The Star months ago and
was discussed then pro and con with
out result. Objections were raised to it
that it would disturb conditions to have
some of the clerks starting to work at
6:45, others at 9, and others still at 9:15,
quitting, respectively, at 4:15, 80 and
As. Any change of hours in the gov
eminent departments from the estab-
hshed routine causes a serious upset in
domestic and business arrangements.
When the quitting hour was shifted from
o'clock to 80 some years ago Wash
ington was for a time greatly discom-
NODDED through the necessary postpone
ment of the dinner hour and the in
creasing of domestic service difficulties.
OF course, adjustment followed, and the
city is now quite accustomed to the 4 80
departmental closing, unfair though the
addition Of half an hour to the working
day Of the clerks has always been.
Unquestionably the traffic conditions
would be improved if the morning and
evening rushes could be distributed in
stead of concentrated as at present
Whether it can be done, however, is a
matter for Commissioner Kutz to ascer.
tain BY consultation with the heads OF
Che departments. Doubtless there are

February.

Everybody celebrates
When February's here.
The birthday speeches como in cratet
To stir the atmosphere.
The ground hog and st. Valentine,
With messages succinct,
With sturdy patriots combine
To make the month distinct.
Though rather shorter than the rest,
And cloudy and severe,
Old February does its best
To be q month Of cheer.
And as the calendar we view
We smile and fear no fate,
Because there's nothing much to do
Except to celebrate.
