THE MARITIME VICTORY

Early returns from the New Jer-
sey primary give so large a proper
ton of the vote to James E. Mar
tine that his nomination to succeed
himself in the Senate seems assured.
Mr.. MARITIME has served one term,
having been nominated by what was
commc"''' looked upon as fiuke six
years J.. At that time nobody in
particular seemed to be for him, but
he got away with the primary nomi-
nation by default, and Governor Will
son insisted that the State accept
the result, even if it didn't like the
idea.
Evidently the Wilson guberna-
torial authority in New Jersey was
more potent than is the Wilson
Presidential authority. AS COVER
nor, Wilson was able to force the
election of a Senator the State didn't
want. AS President, Wilson changed
his mind, decided to agree with the
State, and gave his support to Judge
Westcott as against MARITIME. But
the State Democracy, though no
prouder than ever of Senator Mar
tine, seized the opportunity to indi-
cate its independence of Presiden-
tial control, and nominated Mar
tine.
It is not quite to be believed that

WHAT THE MARKET THINKS

The market decidedly thinks that
prosperity is here to stay, provided
that an era of persistently rising
prices may be called prosperity
without qualification. Everything is
going up. Steel common at 100 is
not out of proportion to many COM
moner things. Anaconda Copper
reached par; but the foreign and do
nestle demand for copper justifies
that figure, If the demand is to con-
tinue for a considerable time. Two
and a quarter millions of shares
were dealt in by the New York Ex-
change yesterday; the biggest days
business since the boom period Of
1907.
1t is very plain, from any study
Of the course Of prices on those in
dustrials which just now are most ac-
tive, that the belief of the market
is that the war is going to last a
long time yet. The expressions Of
public men in all the allied countries
have recently agreed with this view.
AS the war lengthens, the depend
ence of Europe on America will be
greater and greater; for this coun-
try will be richer, Europe more in
need of employing its credit here.
American money and American in
dustry will have to provide a con-
stantly increasing proportion of the
necessaries of Europe; Europe's
debt to US will pile higher, with ac-
celebrating pace as the months pass.
Conditions are now reaching the
point where the danger signal may
well be flown to the breezes. A col
lapse in Europe might cause col
lapse here. It must not be courted.
The war is likely to end mighty sud
denly when it does end. 1t would
involve the possibility of fearfully
difficult adjustment if, just in the
midst of a spasm of speculative
hosting of prices, the end should
come. There was never greater need
for caution and calm, than right
now; for the things the market
thinks about the war in Europe may
possibly be very different from the
things the statesmen in Europe
know about it. Y

THE ARMoR PLANT CASE FOR
& WASHINGTON

The old bromide about Washing
ton being a residential city" and
the cry that any manufacturing con-
Germ would make the Capital smoky
and dirty, again greets the effort to
get the $11, 900 Government ar
NOR plant here.
. Besides being a Capital City,
Washington yearly is growing in
commercial and industrial import
ance. No class Of persons are more
jealous for Washington's beauty and
cleanliness than the business men.
Yet they have ceased to regard this
as q Mecca for the retired rich who
hope to find surcease from the hum
and activity Of industry and trade.
Men who have gone. into the mat
ter state conclusively chat the estab-
lishment Of an armor plate plant
here need not be accompanied by
smoke or dirt. Indeed this plant,
situated in Washington, furnishes an
excellent opportunity for demonstra-
ton that the presence Of industry
need not mar the artistic beauty of
. city. Once demonstrated other
municipalities will benefit by the OBJ
Jet lesson. With modern devices
for consuming smoke the only rea-
SON that manufacturing centers re-
main grimy and unsightly is that
public opinion has not yet forced
the manufacturers to spend the
money needful for devices to keep
their cities clean.
Already there is a big industry
conducted by the Washington Steel
and Ordnance Company at Giesboro
Point, and Washington is none the
worse. Down at the Navy Yard
armament is manufactured and the
Navy Yard does not imperil the
beauty Of the city or even of the
section where it is located.
Washington offers ideal living con-
ditions for the men who will be en-
ployed at the big armor plate plant.
The District of Columbia is designed
as a home for such Government un-
dertakings. There are no arguments
against having the plant here save
those Of political expediency.

HITCH IN MEXICAN PARLHY

There will be no surprise at the
admission Of a hitch in the negotia-
tions Of the Mexican-American joint
commission. One Of the Mexican
commissioners has been summoned
home to make personal report to his
government, and the Mexican repre-
sentatives may be withdrawn.
As matter Of fact, discussion Of
a deadlock now is rather belated.
There was a deadlock before the ne
gotiations began. The business Of
mutual graduation and congratula-
ton, of amiable exchanges, tea
parties and luncheons, was about all
the commission had chance to
transact. under the instructions Of
the Mexican and the program of the
American agents.
The joint conference would pre-
cisely have served it's purpose, so
far as this Government is concerned,
if it could have continued its mys-
FERROUS sittings until the first Tues
day after the first Monday in No
vember and during that period
could have induced complete ces-
sation of interest in all Mexican af-
fairs. II seemed 70 be accomplish
ing something in that direction,
down to the time when the animated
Mr.. Villa-or was it somebody else,
on the assumption that Villa is
dead broke into Chihuahua and
gummed the game. The Mexican
commissioners had been instructed
to talk about nothing until after
there had been agreement concern
ing the withdrawal Of American
troops from Mexico. The American
commissioners were willing to talk
about almost anything else than
that; apparently representing the
purpose of the Administration to
stretch the conversational period
neatly to and including election day.
The Chihuahua raid was patheti-
cally unfortunate for the program of
endless conversation. Mexico de-
clined to be ignored; public interest
in Mexico refused to be put to sleep.
The whole scheme was blown into a
cooked hat by the rush Of the Viii
listas into Chihuahua. Carranza
seemingly is convinced that he has
nothing to gain from further acqui-
escence in the political program of
his friend the President; he wants to
know. Maybe he guesses that if he
serves the political purposes of the
American Administration now, he
will fail, after election, to secure
the compensatory consideration that
he wants. Anyhow, he, like Villa,
appears to have decided that some
thing more than conversation is due;
and so there is imminent danger that
Washington will get the snub direct,
in a withdrawal of the Mexican COM
missioners.
II so, it will be an unhappy end
ing of a nice little political project,
but will not make any difference
about the Mexican problem.
