present are the democratic returns Of
1912; and, of course, wherever they rise
high he will want to scale them.
Stumping is itself fine exercise. At
an earlier day Mr.. Blaine found it so !;
and no little of his wide personal popu-
larity grew out of his willingness to
meet the voters at their homes, and
state his case to them by word of mouth.
IN our day Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Roose-
welt have kept fit and refreshed by
journeys here and there of a political
character. Mr.. Bryan, indeed, has made
a record. and visited probably more
cities and towns than any other public
man of the period.
When he gets into his stride Mr..
Hughes. both because of his qualifica-
tions for the work and his stake in the
contest. may exceed all present calcula
tions about his part in rousing the
voters. East. west and elsewhere an an
nouncement of a visit from him will
bring the people out in hosts; and one
host. with its enthusiasm and excite
ments, will spur and cheer him on to

Anarchists Suspected.

Authorities investigating the San
Francisco bomb outrage are inclined to
the belief that it was the work Of or
ganized anarchists, and search is now
being made in the large cities where
anarchist groups are known to exist for
evidence that may lead to the solution Of
the crime In Chicago the anarchists,
who are we'll known to the police, have
been openly rejoicing over the San Fran
cisco explosion, declaring that it was
fit retribution for the preparedness
propaganda of the American people.
Arrests are likely to be made in these
quarters soon. They would certainly be
justified on general principles. Indeed.
any person who openly expresses sym
pathy with a crime of this character
should be punished.
Large rewards have been offered for
the arrest Of the bomb thrower, but the
clues are so vague that there is little
prospect of his apprehension. If the
there is chance that one of the group
may disclose incriminating evidence.
There is, however. nothing tangible ON
which to base the theory that the
slaughter of innocent people was the
work of more than a single fanatic. The
bomb appears to have been we'll con-
structed of one of the highest e1plo-
sives and the marvel is that a larger
number Of persons was not killed out

Great Britain's Mail Seizures.

Great Britain has replied to the Ameri-
can note regarding mail seizures with a
preliminary declaration that the spe-
cifc allegations advanced in the Ameri-
can complaint do not constitute the gen.
eral charge against the efficiency of the
British censorship. In respect to the
two principal eases of injuries suffe
by Americans in consequence Of mail
seizures the government at London in
effect acknowledges that delays have
occurred and declares that special ar
rangements have now been made to pre-.
vent recurrent troubles Of this char
acter
As far as it has been made public the
preliminary note does not touch upon
the question of the rightfulness of the
British seizures of mail 1t is to be as
sumed, however, that England will de-
fcnd its right to examine mails address

Traction Property Appraised.

With the appraisement of the physical
properties of the two local traction
companies, just announced, the public
utilities commission lays the foundation
for its consideration of fares, transfers,
rtc. This valuation. however, is subject
TO frst Il hearing in review and then
possible court revision Oh appeal. and
in all likelihood it will be some months
before it will stand affirmed. The work
has been in progress now for a long
time, and there has been some public
impatience with the delay of decision.
The figures of the tentative appraisal
are of especial interest just at this time
in view of the advocacy by the Com
missioners and the House District com
mittee of the Crosser municipal owner
ship bill. which proposes bond issue of
Sl5.000,000. for the purchase of the trac-
tion properties. The original cost of the
two traction systems. according to this
valuation, stands at $ls,S74.s351 The
reproduction cost, that is to say, the
amount which it would cost the rail
roads to replace their plants in prime
condition, is stated at $21 ,O65, ,422. II.
The reproduction cost less depreciation,
which is the cost TO reproduce the
systems exactly as they are, making al
lowanee for all wear and tear, is fixed
at Sl6,Sl5.2 .2l6.02. Thus the lowest fig
ure stated. that which is not necessarily
to be reckoned as the basis for the pur-
chase of the systems in case the mu-
nieipality takes over the traction plants.
is $l.sl3.2l6.02 more than the proposed
bond issue. And these valuations, it
must be remembered, fail to include.
among the Washington Railway and
Electric traction properties, the George
town and Tenlevtown Company and the
City and Suburban Company. These
two would bring the total assuredly at
the lowest figure to point $5,000.000
over the proposed bond issue, possibly
$4,000 600 on the present basis of reck
oning.
1t is to be remembered that these
tentative figures were reached solely by
the utilities commissions own agents.
and are subject to correction by the
commission itself with the probability
that the tendency in correction will be
higher. Even if the roads were taken
at their lowest valuation. that of repro
duction cost less depreciation. in all
probability on the final reckoning they
will be stated for municipal ownership
purposes at s20O00.0O0 instead of the
$4,000 900 fixed upon by the Crosser
bill as the debt which the District must
incur for the exceedingly doubtful privi-
lcge of owning and operating its own
traction system. These figures give food
for thought in connection with the pend
ing legislation.

The Day Of Politics.

The politics in the child labor bill
controversy stands fully revealed. I'm
til the President spoke. there was no
thought on the majority side in the Sen
ate of taking up the measure at this
session. Sympathy was felt for those
southern members whose constituents
are opposed to the measure. Hence the
program adopted, which put other meas
ures in front.
Nor was the President expected to
speak-to interfere with the program
1t is suggested that Mr.. Borah, in quot
ing from Woodrow Wilson the writer
on the subject of child labor legislation
did not spring surprise on the demo
Gratis of the Senate; that they were
aware of the opinion, and had been re-
lying on it to protect them in the de-
eision they had reached.
But almost as a bolt from the blue
came the Presidents action. As the
leader of his party and its candidate
for President. he put aside the opinion
he had expressed as. writer on gov
-erHment. and now appeared advocating
what he had previously condemned
The President does this sort of thing
apparently with ease, certainly without
hesitation: He reversed himself com,
pletely on the Panama canal tolls; then
on preparedness, and then on the tariff
commission proposition. He was not
personally committed on the second
term proposition, although his party was
on record in favor Of one term; But he
gladly accepted denomination,
1t is not so easy, however, for sena-
tors and representatives to, reverse
themselves. and especially in circum-
stances making them appear as simply
taking orders; as holding opinions one
way and voting another. "
As matters stand then, the democrats
of the Senate do not want to vote on
the child labor bill at this session.
Many of them are opposed to the meas
ure. not on political, but on constitu-
tional and economic, grounds.
Z. In previous reversals of position the
President gave reasons. True. they
were not generally accepted. Why he
surrendered American shipping rights
at Panama is still not clear to many.
As to preparedness and the tariff com
mission. it is largely the judgment of
the political world-all of it--that as a
political leader he simply joined what
he had later come to appraise as the
longer procession.
VIII it be necessary for him to ex-
press himself on this child labor mat
ter, giving senator's. and through them
the country, the reason for his change
of fronti Or will his wishes prevail
without that Politics we have always
with US; and just now it enters into
everything on both sides of the line.

of search extends to the mails.

CIarv Rejects Petition.

Commissioner of Labor J. c. Clary, chairman, and Miss Mary McCabe, secretary, of the Minimum Wage Com mission, held a special session to con. ider a petition from Little Rock milli- ners that girls be allowed to work overtime during the pre-Easter rusn. The petition was denied. The mini mum wage law provides that women employees shall not work more than nine hours per day, and makes no ex- captions among the establishments af- fected, which include millinery stores.
 A similar petition was presented to the commission more than year ago, and was denied. Members of the com mission said that reports of violations of the law in other kinds of establish ment over the state have reached MT. Clary's office and that prosecutions will follow if Investigations show the law has been violated.

Mace Commission Meets

A meeting of the Minimum Wage Commission was held in the office oi State Labor Commissioner J. c. Ciary to take up the question of subjecting the Boone County Telephone Company and other independent telephone com. panies to the provisions of the mini mum wage law. The minimum wage law does not provide specifically that telephone companies shall be subject to the law, but allows the comm1s- sion the right to issue ruling sub- jecting them to 1t. This also applies to restaurants and other lines of bus mess, which probably will be consid' cred. With the exception of a few towns in the state, Deputy Labor Com, missioner E. I. Mckinley recently has covered all of the state, meeting em- ployers who are subject to the labor laws of the state, explaining to them the provisions of the laws and an. noucing that hereafter all violations will be taken to court immediately Commissioner Clary announced that in the future all violations will be given the maximum publicity.

STOP EATING MEAT IF

Take a Glass of Salts to Clean Kid. neys If Bladder Bothers You
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; ]; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu- matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir- ritation
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions Of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.
