their location is not known to the po-
lice or they would be raided. Recently
in New York private detective agency,
engaged by an association Of motor own
ers, rented garage and passed the word
quietly in certain quarters that cars
would be bought, and "no questions
asked" Within week they had taken
in enough stolen ears and made enough
arrests to check the auto stealing indus
try in that city materially. Probably all
the cars stolen in Washington are run
out of the District at once to find a
market elsewhere. The inter-city or
ganization of police officials is working
on this problem of car tracing and thief
catching. but it is a difficult one that
will take time to solve. The solution
may lie in stricter registration of ears
and a more rigid inspection and lieens-
ing of public garages and repair shops.
If the market for stolen ears can be de-
stroved the business of stealing them
will pass. This. however, leaves the JOY
rider, who merely borrows cars for q
few hours riding to be dealt with sep
aratelv. The securely locked car will
DEFY both thieves and joy riders.

The Coal Car Shortage.

The eo-called coal shortage is i'll fact
not q coal shortage at all. but car
shortage 1t is due to lack Of ears
for the transport of the coal from the
mines 10 the market just why there
should be "A shortage of such cars is not
satisfactorily explained The coal con
sumption has not very greatly increased
over last year. and presumably the car
equipment of the railroads available
year ago has not been depleted. Unless
the railroads are running on a very
short margin of coal ear equipment they
should be in as good position to han
die this traffic as they were twelve
months ago Yet they are not deliver
ing the coal at the rate required by the
consumers, and even the government
here is suffering from a shortage of
supplies which is excusable on the
ground only that the railroads have,
from some cause not within their con
troll, lost relatively in transport facili-
ties.
Car shortage may occur at this time
of the year in other lines of transporta
ton than coal, owing to the necessity
of concentrating large numbers of cars
for crop hauling. But the cars that are
used for general freight hauling and
Evening star., 1916-10-30

agricultural transport cannot be taken
from the coal lines. If the railroads
have been diverting some Of the coal
cars for general freight hauling they
are not playing fair with the public.
Coal is an absolute necessity and should
be given right Of way over all other
kinds of freight save perishable goods.
The interstate commerce commission is
itself affected by the coal shortage in
the running of its own building, but
that experience is not necessary to cause
vigorous inquiry into the causes of
this present failure to deliver all the coal
that the public requires. Some figures
regarding the total tonnage of coal re-
quired to supply the markets this year
and last year and the number Of avail
able cars now and in 1915 and the num-
ber actually in use should be forthcom
ing for information as a guide to the
matter of responsibility for situation
of serious consequence to the people.

Murphy and Wilson.

The absence of Charles f. Murphy
from the Wilson day celebration at
Shadow Lawn is the text of much com
ment A Tammany contingent was
present, but led by subordinates. The
chief remained at home.
Take your choice as to his reasons:
"a He is Indifferent to Mr.. Wilson and
bis candidacy (2) He knows that the
heart of Tammany is not in the fight,
and that it is not in even his power to
give Tammany such heart as a real
lures to the organization have come too
late
On the other hand: % Tammany is
all right, and will do its duty on elec-
ton day (2y Good taste kept Mr.. Muir
ply away: for had he attended he
would, because of his Importance IN the
campaign, have divided honors with Mr..
Wilson. and it was Wilson's day. (3)
Mr. Murphy has been. brought around,
reelected and Tammany's showing at
the polls is good, the organization will
land the post Office prize, now unaward-
ed. and the support of the administra-
ton for its ticket in next years mayor
atty race.
Mr.. Murphy's task is beset with diffl-
culties- The situation is as complicated
for him as for others. Tammany does
not love &he President, nor the Presi
dent Tammany. The business in hand
between them is cold blooded to de-
gree. There is no heart action on either
side.
And then the Tammany of today in
membership is not the Tammany of old.
Men of Irish birth or descent no longer
dominate the organization. There are
others. The German contingent is
strong. And it so happens that neither
the Irish nor the German contingent is
well affected toward Mr.. Wilson.
Of gossip there has been for months,
and still is, any amount. Only election
dav can settle the matter. Tammany's
strength is known. The registration fig
ures are in the hands of both sides, and
the returns the morning after election
will be under the strong glasses of both
sides for examination. If Tammany has
sulked or bolted in any measure, that
examination will show the fact.
IT is easv to see that if New York goes
for Hughes, Tammany will be blamed
by the organizations democratic foes
both at home and elsewhere; and If
Hughes is elected those foes at home may
renew their proposition for new party
organization to dethrone Tammany as
power in the state.

Street Beggars.

Beginning tomorrow the police will
try to clear the streets of Washington
of beggars, who have lately become so
| numerous as to annoy the public. At
this time of year many mendicant trav
elers make Washington their stopping
place, and for some weeks or months
enjoy the generosity of the people. Some
of them are worthy, perhaps. Others
are purely professional and are unde
serving of any sympathy. They beg for
a living as an easy way of getting along.
Some of them are genuinely crippled,
while others are frauds in their claims
to sympathy through disablement A
roundup of the beggars on the streets
would probably show some queer freaks
of ingenuity if all were put through
physical examination. Every ease. how
ever. ought to be put under scrutiny.
Promiscuous street begging is undesir-
able. If the public has money to give
for charity it should be given to as
suredly deserving objects. If people are
so crippled as to be unable to work they
should not find their living on the
streets, perhaps with a pretense OF ped
ding small articles, but actually appeal
ing to the sympathies of the public.
There are enough worthy and deserving
poor here in Washington who need as
sistance and are unable to help them
selves to use all the pennies, dimes and
quarters that can be spared for charity,
and these coins should pass through the
regularly appointed agencies for the re-
lief of these worthy ones.

Mr. Hughes and Bull Moosery.

William Allen White. who is support
ing Mr., Hughes, says this about the bull
moosers and the republican candidate:
They are voting for Hughes. many
OF them. in the sincere belief that he
will wreck and utterly destroy the re
publican party of 1912 by discrediting
its leadership and discarding its con
servatism. Upon no other basis would
they vote for any republican candidate
The year is 1916, not 1912. Mr..
Hughes is the republican, standing on
the republican platform adopted last
June lie and it represent the repub-
3icanism of today. A feature of his
strength in this campaign is that he
means what he says: that he is not
spreading molasses" to catch VOTES. A
Hughes administration will insure a
strict redemption of the promises now
Chicago platform.
In this mornings news We have Il
statement from Mr.. Hughes covering the
whole matter. No man intending to
vote for him need doubt what the re-
publican candidate says. His word is as
good as his bond; and all who have OBJ
III the belief that if he is at the head
OF it he will have considerable influence
with the next administration.
1t is not assumable from the man or
his mission that Mr.. Hughes has in mind
wrecking or destroying anything or any
body: that he will waste his time or in
ing at the past. Surely the present
will offer him enough to do: and if he
is to do it successfully he must have
the support of republicans and bull
moosers alike with only the present in
view
Mr. Cleveland was elected President
ard democrats and free silver demo
Gratis The former expected him to
wreck and utterly destroy" the free
silver issue. The latter expected, and
had private assurances from sources 1ncN
trusted, that he would do nothing of the
kind: that he would do .'the fair thing
by silver" Mr. Clevelands personal
feelings and political interests were on
the gold standard side of the eontro-
versy. and he supported that side when
the time came Result he wrecked his
own fortunes, and sent his party into
exile for sixteen years. The legislation
he recommended was sound. and was
passed with the assistance and practical
" under the leadership of republicans
in Congress, buf the double-dealing of
the presidential campaign ended in
smashing the combination which had
elected him.
Mr. Hughes is making his own an
nouncements and giving his own assur-
anees, and no man, republican, bull
mooser, or democrat, who votes for him
need do so under any sort of misappre
hension.
