The Old Dominion Strike Settlement.

Representative Carlins good offices
awaited Saturday night to bring about
an agreement to arbitratr the differ
cnccs between the operatives of the
Great Falls and Old Dominion line and
the corporation, with the result that the
strike was quickly brought to an end
This gratifying outcome of his efforts
entities Mr.. Carlin to the warm thanks
of the public. which was seriously in
convcnienccd by the stoppage of traffic.
The strike on the Falls Church line con
tinues, but service is maintained and
the public is not disconnected.
While the Old Dominion line strike
was brought quickly to the point of ad
justment, it is none the less significant
that there was no assured method of eff
fccting an arrangement whereby the
public might continue to be served
pending definite settlement OF the dlf-
ferenceS. The state public service com
mission was reluctant to act, partly on
the ground that the matter had not been
brought to its attention and partly be
cause the line was engaged in interstate
traffic. The District Commissioners. as
a public utilities commission. had iuris-
diction over only Il small portion of the
road, that which enters the District over
the Aqueduct bridge. The interstate
commerce commission, always lndls-
posed to intervene in labor troubles,
had not been invoked. The Department
of Labor was in the same situation.
1t has been repeatedly urged that
there should be some automatic mechan-
ism of intervention and arbitration to
meet such a situation. whether state or
interstate. The vital interests of the
public should not be rendered depend
ent upon the enterprise of individuals
to bring about resumption or trafflc,
or to prevent a cessation. Fortunately
in both the recent local instances of
street railway disturbances voluntary
efforts to effect adjustment have quickly
succeeded but the danger remains OF a
complete tie-up of traffic at any time.
So far as the District is concerned these
two experiences should cause an amend
meut of the laws which will assure the
nublie a certain action by fully en-
powered authority to prevent traffic sus
pensions.

The Annapolis Defense Highway.

Maryland'S legislature has practically
passed up to Congress the matter of Il
national defense highway between Wash
inston and Annapolis by cnacting Il
bill which provides for the issue of
bonds for the construction Of such a
road the state contributing $4,000 if
the United States will pay as much
more. This is Il fair proposition. If the
highway between the national and state
capitals is actually needed for defense
purposes
Military authorities agree that such
1t road between Washington and An
napolis would be of the utmost value
in the event of attack by Il foreign naval
power. 1t is not necessary to draw upon
The British attack upon the capital dur
ing the war of 1872 affords a striking
object lesson. 1t is frankly recognized
that if Washington were the objective
of an enemys attention il would be i'll
peril from the cast, and it would be
vitality necessary to be able to throw
defensive forces quickly upon the shores
of both the Chesapeake and the sea to
check an invasion. At present the way
between the cities, disregarding the
practically worthless roads that run
more or less straight. is badly crooked,
involving a waste of time in transit. 1t
is necessary actually to go to Baltimore
from Washington to reach Annapolis
without risk of being mired.
The war in Europe has amply demon
strated the great military value of good
roads. With all the improvement in
transport the main reliance of bel
ligercnt is upon the highways, for use
by men and by vehicles. The United
States should regard the proposal of
the state of Maryland as liberal, an of
fer to divide equally the cost of high
way which is urgently needed for ma
tional purposes. An opportunity is af
forded for the government to set an
example in the matter of highway max
ing. Furthermore. in view of Mary
diture of money for road construction,
this cooperation is amply deserved, as
appreciation of the states enterprise.

to change in the formations, which
have become more open, the attacks be-
ing delivered by successive lines de-
ployed with considerable intervals This
maneuver, however, is described by the
French reports as unavailing.
Doubtless there is Il determination at
German military headquarters to con
tinue the Verdun drive, else it would
be permitted to die away by degrees.
And presumably each advance, whatever
the cost. is heralded in Germany as 4

sense of Impotence among the German
people for the result which was prom
Used so positively in the early days of

a way to Paris. Every week of delay
makes it the more imperative that the
crown prince accomplish his object.

No House Boom, and Why.
The New York Sun:

The New York Sun:
why is there no presidential boom
for Col. Housed Nobody knows his
views on any live issue"
Why, Coz. Houses views are known
on all the live issues. He is a Wilson
man. He not only indorses the whole
Wilson record to date, but has helped to
make it. Far more than the general
public is advised, if well accredited
Washington gossip is to be believed, he
has been consulted by the President
from the outset not only about impor-
tant foreign affairs, but the most i'm
portant domestic affairs. His large
knowledge of business was utilized in
the framing of both the tariff and cur
rency legislation, and if the question of
rural credits is reached at this session
he will take part in the consultations
about that. A chuckle went around this
town about year ago over little story
that Col. House was so powerful at the
White House that Mr.. Bryan had grown
jealous.
But what friend of Col. House would
stretch him out on the rack of presi
Dental boom? Where is there anothe,
man in private life who, without any
sort of responsibility, is having so much
to. say about politicss Where is there
another man who, while making no play
for the limelight, is so often in it
Where is there another man getting on,
of politics so much personal satisfac
toni
It is probably true-at any rate it i.

Senator Harding at Chicago.

In his speech at the Hamilton Climb
Senator Harding said:
1T is useless to talk of 1872 | had
rather regret the unhappinesS and its
attending defeats and turn to invite all
who believe i'll republican principles to
touch elbows again and move on to the
triumphant national return which has
already been hailed so gladly in so
many states. Let me change the OK
preston and say had rather forget
for the next four wears and let ma
ton wearied anew by the democratic
party join us in four wears of happy
forgetting
This would he an interesting deliv-
GRANGE coming from any republican of
prominence but coming as it does from
the man who will sound the keynote at
the republican national convention it is
most interesting. 1t contains the germ
of the whole republican proposition for
1 reunion against the democracy. Tn
less reunited the party cannot win, and
unless it turns its back upon the past
and faces the future on issues concern
ing the future it cannot hope for re
union. In other words. let the dead
past bury its dead. Now is the time
to think of what is alive, and utilzable
for live purposes.
But the men who are booming Mr.
Roosevelt for the republican nomination
are, in effect. advancing the very OPP
posite proposition. They would rekindle
the fires of 1912 Part of their appeal
is based upon charge that Mr.. Roose
welt. at convention presided over by
Elihu Root, and every act of which Mr..
Root subsequently Endorsed. was robbed
of his just dues. They insist that now
is the time to right that wrong. Give
Mr. Roosevelt this year the Endorsement
to which he was entitled that year.
But neither Mr.. Root nor any other
republican who supported Mr.. Taft in
1912 believes that Mr.. Roosevelt was
robbed of anything that year. They
still hold that Mr. Taft's nomination
was regular and proper, was entitled to
the support of all republicans, and that
such as rejected it were boilers.
Mr. Roosevelts nomination would not
only reopen all that contention. but con
cede the nr"~e--.'- ~'~:~' The leader
of the boilers would appear in a tri-
umph as tftu ..,s,, D. ,Iic regulars; and
with his nomination would go a taeit
approval of the platform upon which
he stood as bolter four years ago.
As the Ohio senator suggests, the
thing for the republicans to do is to
think and "act in the living present"
The democracy. with a record made in
three years of full control, confronts
them. Its leader for the campaign is
already indicated. The man nominated
at Chicago will have to try conclusions
with Woodrow Wilson, and will need
the full strength of a genuinely united
party to win. The democrats could ask
nothing better than the nomination of
Mr.. Roosevelt In fact, in sly way
known to politicians. they are booming
him.
