THE MARINE BANDS WINTER
LOCATION

This afternoon the United States
Marine Band will give concert at
4 o'clock at the United StateA Ma
rine Barracks. It will continue To
give concerts at this inconvenient
hour, at the same out-of-the-way
place, throughout the winter months
In summer the bands concerts at
the Capitol and at the White House
are enjoyed by thousands. In the
winter the great majority cannot at
tend because Of the hour and place
II Washington had proper munich
pal hall the public would have q
chance Of hearing the band through
out the year. Even in the absence
of such an auditorium it would
seem that some accessible place
might be assigned for the band dur.
ing the winter. Consideration might
well be given to the advisability OF
raising a fund to rent an auditorium
for the concerts. They would form
a municipal feature Of marked value
At present the bands winter con-
certs, though largely attended, seem
like a sinful waste Of good music.

THE NEW cARRANzA PLAN

A supporter Of First Chief Car
rama has explained, in an address,
the outlines of the new constitution
which the constitutionalist leader
wants Mexico to adopt, and on which
Carranza is going to run for Presi-
dent. It seems that the old constitu-
ton was not adapted to running a
country like Mexico; the rulers,
whenever a real emergency arose,
were compelled to do things by
extra constitutional decree, because
they hadn't time to get legislation,
or perhaps couldn't get it for other
reasons. So it is proposed to make
O new constitution under which the
executive will be able to do about
anything he accounts desirable.
It viii be a great scheme for re-
forming Mexico. Just make a con-
stitution that will insure that what
ever Carranza wants to do will be
correct, and then make Carranza
President, and Carranza Is confident
he will be able to run the country
constitutionally. ,..
Why shouldn't the First Chief
however, have bethought himself OF
the method Of his friend and patron
President Wilson. In this country
under the present regime the Execu'
tive directs his DEGREES to the Con-
gress, which passes the Legislative
authorization to do whatever the
President deems desirable. Thus the
proprieties are preserved, and ev'
erything is satisfactory-except tc
Congress and the country. Carranza
seems to be curiously lacking II
resources and capacity to adapt the
best models even when they are
right in front Of him.

HONOR TO MANUEL QURZoN

Manuel Quezon, who was Filipino
Delegate in the House of Represen-
tatives Of the United States, has
been chosen president Of the senate
of the Philippines. Mr.. Quezon thus
receives at the hands of his own
people a distinction that indicates
that they accord to him the same
recognition that was extended in
this country, for his services in be-
half of their aspiration to autono-
nous government. During his serv-
ice in Washington this young man
he is only thirty-eight-proved his
possession Of political talents Of
wide variety and high order; and
the dinner that was given him on
the eve Of his return to the east was
one Of the most flattering and genu-
inc tributes paid to a public man in
many years.
Quezon's story is In itself sum-
mary Of the whole history of Ameri-
can effort for the benefit of the Fill
, Pine people. He was we'll educated,
and during the Philippine revolution
was a devout supporter of the cause
of independence, serving on Agui-
naldo's staff and later as chief of
staff of a very important depart
ment. He served, under the Ameri-
can Government, as prosecuting at
torney and then as a provincial gov
ernor; he was leader of his party on
the floor Of the Philippine assembly;
and, finally, at the age of thirty, he
was elected resident commissioner in
the United States, the position
roughly corresponding to that of q
Territorial Delegate. There are en-
thusiastic admirers who compare
this young man to Alexander Ham
ilton, and predict for him a career
whose highest eminences have not
fyet nearly been reached.

NEW YoRK's REGISTRATION

It is the general political opinion
this yea: that Mr.. Hughes might
possibly be elected without New
York, but that Mr.. Wilson could not.
There are political analysts who
make a careful distinction between
what they consider New York's fac
ulty for landing with the winner,
and New York's assumption that it
leads the national tide toward the
winner. However that may be, New
York gains large repute for political
potency by reason Of turning up
with the side that gets the majority
Of electoral votes, whether Its con-
tribution is necessary to make the
majority or not.
This year the registration Of New
York city, as analysed by the po-
litical sharps, indicates that inter-
est is at a high pitch despite that
seemingly the campaign has been
rather listless and lacking spectacu-
lar features. The greater city shows
considerable gain over the regis
tration Of 1912; and four boroughs
divide the increases, while Manhat-
tan, the stronghold of Tammany
and Democracy, shows a loss. The
Republicans, therefore, are rejoiced,
insisting that they will make an I'M
usually good showing in the city and
that the upstate vote will snugly
carry the State. On the other hand
Democrats, viewing the city as a
whole, insist that a big registration
there means a big Democratic vote
there, and improved prospects for
overcoming the Republican rural
majority. Tammany does not ap-
pear, on the face of registration fig
uSes, to have interested itself
acutely; and Tammany has reasons
for not rending its neither wear in
behalf of the Democratic ticket.
Without Tammany enthusiastic,
Democratic national tickets don't
usually do much in the Empire
State.

THE DEGRADATION OF OUR
ANTHEM

A melody has its ups and downs
in this life. 1t may begin in simple,
homely fashion, and generally does,
as a folk song. It may get bad
bacchanalian name if it appeals to
roisterers. Once in century or SO
It may break into the aristocracy Of
national anthems. More frequently.
if it survives the devastating proc
esses of time, it may be seized upon
and immortalized in an opera or
oratorio.
Well, all this has happened to the
tune we now sing with the words of
1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner" Its
latest exploit, curiously enough, Is
to narrowly escape police record

complimentary copies of the recent
monograph printed as Govern

STANDARDIZINd AUTO LINGO

. The Society Of Automobile Engi-
neers proposes that automobile
nomenclature and Technology be
standardized, so that people talking
about their cars will be able to I'M
derstand each other. It's a great
project. A list Of uniform names
for automobile parts has been pre-
pared, and 1t Is hoped these may at
length be introduced internationally,
like Volapuk. The car is distributed
into nineteen general divisions, and
all the parts in each division are
given their standard names; a total
Of 600 to 700 names Of separate
parts.
Here we have not only a great
commercial economy, making for the
saving Of time, effort, and space in
ordering parts, and for much greater
accuracy. Mistakes will be elimi'
mated. But more important yet, II
practicable, would be the stand
ardization Of automobile converse

TnH SUFFERERS IN GERMANY

An American who has been in
Europe since year before the war,
gives an interesting analysis Of the
workings Of Germany's wartime eco
nomic policy. Although he is a SYM
pathizer with the entente, and be-
lieves the economic pressure applied
through the blockade is destined to
be an important factor in breaking
down German power, he declares
that the great majority Of German
people have not yet suffered
severely.
The minority who have felt the
real stress of hunger, however, is
large enough to exert telling in
fluence on the national policy. The
governments program Of controlling
and doing out food supplies has not
imposed hardship, first, on the fight
ing men, to whom a double ration Is
served. It Ii the governments pur-
pose to maintain this standard at
whatever cost to the rest of the ma
ton, on the ground that the men in
the trenches are the most important
Of all to the national welfare.
The wealthy classes are not to be
deprived of their privilege Of getting
all they need to eat. It comes high;
the variety is not all they might
wish in many cases; and devious
methods are necessary, at times, to
get all that they think they need.
But they get it, and there is small
prospect Of enforcing such regula-
tions as will prevent him that hath
from getting more. The poor will
sell Of their food apportionment,
small as it Is, in order to get other
things; all manner Of subterfuges
are employed to evade the law.
Then there are the farmers. Ex-
perience has proved that the farmer,
raising food, simply will not and
cannot be compelled to give up from
his product to the point of imposing
discomfort on himself. All the arts
Of the German police will not de-
prive him Of more than he Is willing
to yield up; he takes care Of his own
first. Penalties cannot be made
drastic enough, regulations ingeni-
Gus enough, to prevent this.
The workers in operations that
contribute directly to wars conduct,
such as munitions and the like, are
taken care of literally by the gov
eminent, within the regulations. So
there remain the minority Of indus
trial workers, who have neither
wealth, nor government employ
ments, nor uniform, nor farms.
These at the last must bear the real
brunt of hardship; possibly 25,000,-
900 of them, or, roughly, one-third of
the German people. It is the real
hardship of these that is reflected in
the political dissensions Of the en-
pire.
OF these 25,000,0 900, the daily ra-
ton meted out by the government
represents about 1900 calories.
That is considerably less than the
ration given to Belgians by the re-
lief commission. It will maintain
life, but not full energy and produc-
tive capacity. The people in Ger
many are growing thinner. They do
not grumble a great deal, but
tighten their belts and go grimly
about their business. But their en-
ergies cannot be maintained indef-
niteiy at the fullest efficiency now
demanded as it never was before, on
such rstions.
