this year. There is not the slightest
prospect that either of the two old par
ties will declare for prohibition, and
hence the certainty of a prohibition ma.
tional ticket representing the uncom-
promising advocates Of that cause.
But as such a nomination could not
be more than flourish. Capt. Hobson
if he ever gave it thought, seems to
have put it by. The House again for
him, if he can reach it.
1t is easy to believe that the captain
regrets his absence from the present
House. Both the general topic of pre-
paredness and the recommendations for
immediate naval increases would appeal
to him. In politics he has remembered
the sea. and been an unccasing advo-
cate of big navy 1t is to be said to
his credit that it was not necessary for
war to come to convert him to the cause
of an adequate national defense. Ever
since the Spanish war he has been
pointing out our deficiencies, especially
on the water; and now they are ap-
parent to all, even to those who do not
want them remedicd.

Annapolis Washington Highway

Yesterday at Annapolis q joint com
mittee of the two legislative branches
heard arguments on the pending bill to
build national defense highway" be-
tween Washington and the Maryland
capital. This project is urgently rec
commended by every consideration of
practical utility and of federal pre-
paredness against possible invasion.
1t is no secret that in the judgment of
military men the sector of the Atlantic
coast lying between the mouth Of the
Delaware and the mouth of the Chesa-
peake is regarded as of the most vital
consequence. Annapolis is in posi-
ton of the utmost strategic importance
and in the event of an invasion it would
be essential to have the quickest pos
sible means of communication and
transport between Washington and that
city TO permit the speedy placing of
forces there.
Maryland has done remarkably good
work in the matter of road building
during recent years. and has taken a
high position among the American states
III this regard 1t has materially felt
the benefit of these investments in the
increased travel through the state by
motorists, who have brought great sums

a good road between Annapolis and the
District line would not add appreciably
to the burden, especially in view Of the
assured returns in time Of peace that
such highway would yield.
There is some rivalry between the
route proposed in the bill on which
arguments were made yesterday at An
napolis, and another, farther to the
south, favored by residents Of the lower
section. Naturally there is desire to
get the road so placed as to improve
property. This rivalry, however, should
not serve to check the legislation. The
legislature should be able to determine
which route is the better, the shorter,
the more practicable, the less expen-
sive. There are certain historical con-
siderations in favor of the route named
in the bill, and it has, moreover, some
practical advantages. If those who op-
pose it cannot persuade the joint COM
mittee or the legislature that the other
route is better they should acquiesce in
the decision, and all work for an en-
actment that will so greatly increase
Marylands highway efficiency and
bring the state capital and the National
Capital into requisite, practicable COM
munication.

A Fire Drill.

In eight minutes from tho time the
alarm was struck iu fire drill test
the Department Of Commerce building
at Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street
was vacated by the ! 500 employees. This
is a good record, and it shows an e1-
cellent state Of discipline. But it is.a
the same time plain that in eight min
utes fire can get heavy Roadway in a
tall building, and it is by no means
assured that the order that prevails dur
ing fire drill, with no smoke aud flames
in evidence, would be maintained in the
event of a genuine blaze. Herein lies
one Of the difficulties Of a rented build
ing occupied by the government for pub
lie office needs. It is the natural de-
sire of the building owner to get the
maximum of room space on minimum
of ground space. Consequently, the
structure rises high in the air and the
exit possibilities are lowered. It should
be the fixed policy of the government
not to rent, but to build It's own struc-
lures, leasing only in emergencies. Then
it would be possible to adopt standard
architectural principle Of ample site,
low structure and easy entrance and
exit. No building is so freproof that
it is a safeguard against panic in the
event of a sudden outburst of flame.
The danger increases with the size of
the building and its height. The United
States has no reason for skipping econ
omy in this matter. 1t should today
own all its housings instead Of being the
lessee of dozens Of structures Of all
kinds, with no prospect Of immediate
adoption Of a consistent, embracing
building program.

Opposition to the Borland Rider.

/
House of hostility to the proposal to add
another hour to the working day of the
| government clerks in Washington with
out compensation is gratifying token.
It may not definitely indicate the de-
| feat of the Borland rider when that
item is reached in the legislative bill,
but it unquestionably shows that the
| House is not disposed to allow this I'M
just proposition to pass without the
closest scrutiny, if it is permitted to re-
main in the bill as matter of perlia-
mentary right.
| Yesterday no one spoke in behalf of
the extra hour provision. Even the
member in charge of the legislative bill
was unable to defend it, he having
strongly opposed it in committee. OPP
position to it was voiced from unex-
pected quarters. The most gratifying
feature of the debate was that the OBJ
! jections we're pitched in the key of a
demand for equitable treatment for the
clerks.
| On the parliame ntary point it is
urged that this rider has no right in
the bill because it does not assuredly,
within the scope of what is called the
"Holman rule reduce the number or
the salary of the officers of the United
States 1t is claimed by the author of
the proposition that it will have the gov
eminent something like 100000 a
year. If it did that, by cutting off the
total expenditures under this appro,
priation act it would be technically ger
name to the measure. But there is no
provision in the bill for reduction Of
force. The total number of clerks to be
employed under the legislative act re-
mains the same as before. This is a
"rider' in every sense of the word. 1t
has been plastered on the bill regard
| less of its other features, with no at
tempt to effect a readjustment which,
if the added hour is practical econ
omy, should be worked into the details
of the measure in general curtailment
of forces.
! The manner in which the amendm emit
was adopted in committee. the absence
of any force-reducing provision, the
fact that the total sum carried by the
bill stands precisely as it did before
the rider was adopted in committee,
with the expenditure for salaries the
same and the number unchanged, all
tend to make this amendment definitely
subject to the point of order which it
is proposed will be made against it when
it is reached. Had the bill been framed
from the outset on the basis of an
added hour of clerical work throughout
the departments, there would have been
no assured ground of parliamentary OBJ
lection, although the substantial argu-
ments against the proposed change
would have remained unaffected. In
the light of yesterdays demonstration
of hostility there is reason for feeling
Of reinsurance that this great injus
tice will not be perpetratcd.

American Sea Power.

When the President on MS recent
stumping tour recommended the build
ing of the largest navy in the world he
was accused of playing politics-of cleo
pioneering for a second term. less
severe charge was that he had simply
lost his balance in the presence of enor-
nous crowds and become intoxicated
with applause. Surely he did not mean
it. Surely he would be satisfied with
the Inauguration by Congress of much
smaller program.
1t is entirely apparent now that he
did mean it Since then his recon-
mendation has been Endorsed by several
of the most distinguished American sail
ors in commission-men not in politics

is late as Monday Admiral Knight,
president of the Naval War College,
gave the House committee on naval af-
fairs some very pointed suggestions on
the subject of what should be done. he
spoke for the building of the largest
navy in the world. He frankly con-
fe>Sed that our present inadequate sea
establishment is only so per cent eff

when the world RECEIVERS from its pres
ent commissions it will be so horror
stricken at its excuses it will not soon,
if ever again. lose its balance and re-
peat them. Let us wait, and guide by
later developments. In a few years
we may not need navy of any size
may be justified in scrapping the ships
we now have"
Time, of course, will be necessary to
build what we need. But the point of
paramount consideration now is to an
nounce a policy and set to work on it.
When it is known that we have deter
mined our course and embarked on it,
with resources adequate for the jour
ncv. We shall be strengthened in the
opinion of all the world.
It is useless to argue with those who
see in the present war the last of war.
Such belief does not issue from a read
ing of history, or from any practical
study of humankind. Such dreamers
are entitled to their dreams. But let
us not put ourselves into the hands of
dreaners at a time when all men of
action in this country and elsewhere
are wide awake, and the world is
shaken with an unparalleled strife. The
rountrv that hesitates now is lost.

to cross the tracks at a spot south of
the underpass near the McIndoes sta

Some part of the engine struck him
on the left side and shoulder, throw
