Sryan and Roosevelt.

IL. Bryan pays his respects to Mr..
Roosevelt in these terms:
The course pursued by Col. Roose-

lesson, namely, that honesty is the best

Now. the bluff having ingloriously fail

The New York Car Strike.

The New York car strike has appar-
emily reached a stage of settlement in
exceptionally short order. an agreement
having been effected yesterday to submit
basis of adjustment to representa-
tives of both sides today. This is a most
satisfactory conclusion, as it undoubted
ly prevents serious trouble throughout
New York. Already the strike had
reached the rioting stage and grave dis
orders were impending. The only pos
sible way to avoid rioting when street
panies to stop their cars and throw the
whole burden of the strike upon the
public. Charter conditions, however,
compel continued service, so that there
is an obligation to undertake to run the
cars regardless of the danger. 1t is
gratifying that in New York the SEN
sible stage of agreement was so quickly
reached. After less than three days,
during which the service was bad and
the ponce reserves were kept pueF
quelling disorders, with an increasing
disposition to violence, the two sides
have practically come together in an
agreement that might just as well have
been effected before the trouble began.
1t seems to be an unwritten law of in
dustrial relations that there must be a
show of force as a preliminary to ad
justment. This is a most unbusiness
like and wasteful process.

He both cut out and directed the per-
formance of the work The tariff plank,
the economy plank, the Panama
canal tolls plank, and particularly the
one-term plank, received his unquali-
fed Endorsement. How do they appear
today7 When danger threatened, did
he attempt to save themi
Take the tariff. When Mr.. Under
wood began the revision of the Payne
law did Mr.. Bryan remind him of the
promise that the revision should reduce
the high cost of living, which the demo
Gratis had attributed to the policy of
protection' If he did, the reminder is
not Of public record.
When the democrats began piling ap-
propriations higher than the republi-
cans had ever done, did Mr.. Bryan pro-
test, and remind his friends in Con
gress of the party's denunciation of re-
publican extravaganza and its pledges
of economy' If he did, there is no pub
tic record of that.
When Mr.. Wilson called for the re-
n cal of the law granting free passage to
American coastwise ships through the
Panama canal, did Mr.. Bryan, who was
then a member of the cabinet, protest ?
On the contrary, he was reported as de-
.cribing the Presidents recommends
ion as splendid"
Did Mr.. Bryan raise his voice or
push his pencip in opposition to Mr.,
Wilson's renomination7 On the CON
trary, he approved of it, and, although
a one-term advocate, is supporting Mr..
Wilson for a second term.
How will Mr.. Bryan, in appealing for
votes this year, deal with this record ?
While pointing out Mr.. Roosevelt's
Sins" how will he explain and extenu-
ate his own7 Will Mr.. Roosevelt when
he takes the stump give Mr.. Bryan an
opportunity to explain7 He may. Tu
quoque is not the highest form of re-
sponse. but it often affords good en-
tertainment; and the stipulation is in
eontestable that one seeking equity must
come into court with clean hands.

Attack on Suez Repelled.

British official reports tell of the re-
pulse of a German -officered Turkish
army on the shore of the Mediterra
mean just east of the Suez canal. A
force of $4,000 Turks had pressed rapid
ly westward along the seacoast and
driven in British outposts. when at a
selected point and at just the right time
the British turned and apps rently fed,
the Turks pursuing rapidly, only to be
come involved in sand dunes, where
they found themselves under sudden at
tack from both land and sea, fleet
having moved swiftly to bombarding
ranges The rout was complete, the
Turks suffering heavy losses, $500 pris-
oners and many guns falling into the
hands of the British. At last accounts
the pursuit was in progress.
This engagement is chiefly important
as indicating a disposition on the part
of the Turks to seize the northern end
of the Suez canal, which they have been
seeking to reach for many months. It
was thought when the Russian drive
through Trans Caucasia into Armenia
and Asia Minor began that the Turkish
menace against Egypt was checked but
apparently the German general staff.
which is directing all war moves for the
central power alliance, has ordered a

Politics and the Tariff.

The latest wrinkle in the strenuous
effort to take the tariff out of politics
relates TO the income tax. Striking plu-
tocrats for larger assessments is easy.
Nobody champions them. But when it
comes to lowering exemptions of per-
sons with families from four thousand to
three, and of single persons from three
thousand to two warm argument arises.
majority have votes, and there will be
an election in November.
On the one hand is the proposition
that, as assessments now stand, too
many incomes escape. The tax looks
onc-sided-a little like class legislation.
Broaden it. Bring i. nearer to the plain
people. Give them a chance to help in
the support OF the government. Putting
too much OH those higher up" and
especially those at the top. will not
look. or be, fair
On the other hand is the warming
against the effect at the polls. That is
frankly given Taxation is never popu-
lar. Why for paltry little six mil
lion dollars-the amount estimated as
colleetible from the proposed new ex-
emptions-chill the voters who will be
called upon TO pay it' Think of No
vember. The campaign is warming up.
and in the end every vote may count.
Then there is the proposed tax on cop
per products-a subject of interest in
the west where the democrats already
have hard shedding. Why make the 60
ing more difficult' is asked. Still if an
assessment must be made. let the figures
be lower than those proposed by the
House.
The revenue bill. out of which these
questions spring. is still in the shaping
by the Senate. which has the right of
amendment. When completed. the work
will be submitted to the Judgment of
democratic caucus. and then will fol-
low debate in the open Senate. which
cannot be curtailed by gag rule 1t
should be free and thorough, and es-
peeially as we are promised a discus
sion of the general question of taxation
when stumping begins, Indeed, it is
stated that Mr.. Hughes will set the ball
rolling on his western journey. giving
the tariff next place after Mexico in his
indictment of the democratic conduct of
the government.
The next administration. whether
democratic or republican. will have to
fnl a great deal of money for public
purposes There will be no escape Our
preparedness program is continuing.
and the rapid growth of the country
will require large and liberal provisions

'ehich that part Of the city has long
suffered. The effect Of q restriction on
building heights will be to spread COM
mercial constructions over wider area,
and thus to relieve the tremendous pres
sure from which New York suffers. The
narrowing Of the island toward the
meeting Of the rivers gave An excuse
originally for crowding the maximum
Of construction upon q given building
site. But now with subways In opera
tion as we'll as other means Of rapid
transit there is no particular reason for
concentrating business downtown. In
deed, twenty five years ago a movement
uptown was made by far-seeing men,
who realized that the intense congestion
in the southern parts of the city could
not continue without shifting tho cen
ter of business interests northward. New
York presents peculiar aspect in that
the extreme lower part of the city, the
area of excessively high constructions, Is
succeeded toward the north by q terri
tory of moderate development followed
in the middle portion Of the city by an
other highly concentrated business area,
beyond which comes the residential sec
tion. 1t is hoped by the trainers Of
the present regulation in New York that
the effect of it will be to expand the
downtown area of commercial construc.
tion northward and both east and west
and thus relieve the pressure in the
financial district. It is too late to cor
rect the sky-scraping constructions al
ready erected, but the tendency toward
competitive elevation will be halted by
this new rule.

their disiguring appearance, have a
tendency to increase the congestion from

The increase In the ACREAGE wage of

A per cent and in sixteen years 5S per

OF the other 50 per cent. Of employees In
the same periods We're 35 per cent. and
40 per cent. The average wage OF the
100000 train service employees In 1914
was Sl.253; of the other 1881 900 EN-
ployees $6SI. The contrast between
the wages Of the train service en-
ployees and those Of train dispatchers
and telegraph operators. station agents
and section foremen Is especially strik-
ing. The working day OF dispatchers
and operators Is limited to nine hours
by federal law. but that Of station
