The Washington times., 1916-12-04
A CITY CLUBS POSSIBILITIES

Washington citizens who possess
civic spirit need TO study the
achievements of the City Club Of
Baltimore as they We're recounted in
The Times yesterday. Baltimore's
organization is not unique; it hap
pens to be closer home. Other city
clubs are performing similar service
in Boston, Brooklyn. Chicago, Cincin-
natl, Cleveland, and exactly half a
dozen other cities.
Washington has a series Of citi-
zens' associations which function ad-
mirably in the interest of certain
sections and communities. II has
three trade bodies which have per-
formed notably in their particular
fields. It has a social service or
ganization which has proved its
worth in the Monday Evening Club.
But the National Capital has no
place where the men sincerely in
terested In projects for city-wide bet
torment can get together and talk
things over. Baltimore found its city
government was missing fire many
times simply because it was nobody's
business to keep track of certain
events, and nobody< business to in
form the city about them.
More than any other municipality
on the city club list does Washington
need an organization of this sort.
Here community interest must be
kept alive through voluntary orgahi-
nations. The reason why Washing
ton has failed to get many needed
improvements each year has been
because citizens were divided about
what they wanted, and there was no
place where they all might get to-
gether and talk the thing out.
An organization like that in Bal
timore cannot be forced. 1t must be
built up. That was a case where
two or three got together (six to be
exact) and the spirit of civic prog
ress has blessed their humble begin
ming by a club of 1000, of the city's
leaders in every line of thought, and
a club quarters which has become

true; but this year the bad areas
were too wide, the good ones too
narrow, and the country came as
close to failure Of crops a. It 10
likely ever to come.
Taking a single extraordinarily
bad year as a basis, and trying to
force increased production, means
overproduction in average seasons.
II the acreage Of 1916 had produced
average yields, and there had been
no war initiation, prices would now
be 80 low that the farmers would be
grooming under their mortgages
again, instead Of under their burden
Of prosperity.
The farmer isn't at fault, in this
matter of production and prices, so
much as everybody else. From the
instant the farmer gets his crops
into the barn, they begin to be the
subjects Of all manner Of manipula-
ton. Apples can be had at two for
a jitney in Washington, IL one hap
pens to be wise enough not to pay
a jitney per. But twenty miles
away, in Maryland and Virginia,
thousands Of bushels Of apples were
allowed to rot on the ground and
other thousands were pressed into
cider that spoiled in the barrels, be-
cause there was no marketing
mechanism to get those apples
picked and moved to the consumer.
Cotton is at prices 80 high that one
dares not even approximate them
without a look at the ticker-tape Of
the last few minutes; but two years
ago they were talking dowA South
about burning it, and a little while
back of that they actually did burn
some.
Look the thing in the face, and
recognize that the farmer does his
part better than anybody else on the
way up from soil to consumer. Then
set about reforming things higher
up. Give the farmer a chance, and
he'll do his part.

CHIHUAHUA AN EXAMPLE

The fact that Chihuahua has been
retaken from Villa by the troops Of
the de facto Mexican government is
not so reassuring as might at first
seem. There appears to be less
prospect Of a military decision on
either side. Villa was strong enough
to take the city, and to take II in a
rather deliberate fashion. II was
known to be in danger, TO be the spe-
cial object Of his interest. II the
Carranza government had possessed
either the power or the cohesiveness
to make its efforts effective, IL surely
would not have permitted the town
TO be seized and looted. Evidently
neither side has such a military Or
ganization ms can insure the safety
even Of important centers against
mere maraudings. Villa was able TO
take the city. Carranza to retake II.
Probably Villa wanted the supplies
and the loot which he carried away,
more than he wanted the RESPONSE
bility for administering the city. The
fact that he has been driven out
again does not have so much signifi-
canoe AS that he was able to break in.
The fighting in and about the city
and indeed throughout the whole
state Of chihuahua has lately en-
phasized the impression that the Car
rama leadership is not going TO be
able TO cope with the situation in
northern Mexico. II used to be fash
ionable for Disguised people sapi-
emily TO opine that Mexico needed
a strong man, n figure big and COM
handing enough TO handle the vari-
Gus elements, a Diaz whose grip
would be strong enough TO keep
things in their places and yet whose
fist would not crush the very or
ganization Of society. But six years
Of turmoil have failed utterly TO pro-
duce such a man, and meanwhile the
development Of conditions has been
such as to make his appearance less
and less probable. The things that
have been taking place in Chihuahua
state in the last few weeks consti-
tute a most discouraging common
tary. The conclusion cannot be
avoided that they have brought
measurably nearer a INSTALLATION of
conditions in which the power of the
United States may require to be used
to the full extent necessary to save
Mexico from self-destruction.
