New York City.

As the New York mayoralty race is
likely to attract national attention, the
following indictment of Tammany by
the democrats now organizing against
it possesses wide interest:
"Tammany Hall has not only repeat
eddy forfeited any claim to public con-
fidence by record of incompetency,
waste and plumber, but it has so pros
tituted the machinery and perverted the
purpose of the party organization to
personal ends, that it has fallen out of
touch with the intelligent growth and
honest thought of democrats all over
this city"
There is much to support this arraign-
ment. And yet as put forth by its au-
thors it is weakened by the fact that
only last year they were depending upon
Tammany to carry New York state for
the democratic national ticket. 1t was
then the same organization it now is,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-01

with the same malodorous record, and
the same methods of election procedure.
Tammany disappointed these men. It
sulked, and let the national ticket and
the state ticket slide. Hughes and Whit
man had everything their own way at
the polls.
But suppose the national contest had
turned on New York and the state,
through Tammany, had pumped for
Wilson and elected him. Is there any
risk in the statement that the present
movement against Tammany would not
have been inaugurateda Should we not
have seen these men now in opposition
in Tammany's trains, acknowledging its
claims. to compensation for the party
work then performeda Nothing is like
lier.
It is no easy task getting rid Of such
an organization as Tammany in such a
town as New York. A certain portion
of the electorate seems manageable
only through an agency of Tammany's
kind. It votes as it is fed; and Tam
many knows its appetite, and feeds.
But, certainly, if Tammany is ever to
be done for it must be under a leader
ship which will not tolerate the organi-
cation at any time or for any purpose;
which has never co-operated with it or
accepted the fruits of its activity toward
any end; which will not coddle it one
year and lambast it the next; which flies
only one flag, and that the flag of re-
form every year and all the year round.
The row in New York this year has
some familiar features, and some not
familiar The result may have bearing
on the next state race and the next ma
tional race. Control of the metropolis
of the Empire state possesses political
as well as a business value; and these
are times when all values are carefully
appraised and carefully husbanded and
utilized when secured.

PROHIBITION AND FOOD.

From -, *sy York World.
War ccmpeis governments to employ
power arbitrarily at times. but never
justihably except for national defense
TO misuse this sovereign authority for
the promotion of social reform never
agreed upon would be national be-
trayai.
From the Springfield Republican.
1t would be folly to sacrifice the food
control bill by obstinate insistence on
this amendment. The war is not being
waged for the purpose of establishing
prohibition. But we should be ready
TO accept very cordially national pro-
hibition of this character as a feature
of the law of food conservation and
control.
From the New York Times.
Absolute restriction will scarcely be
needed this year. Grain that is needed
for food should not be used for the
manufacture of spirituous liquors But
the restriction should be reasonable,
Lot reason prevail In the Senate.

Germany's Mounting Murder Record

The utter brutality Of the German sub
marine warfare needs NO fresh demonstra.
ton to convince Americans that the
Teutonic method Of campaigning is be-
yond the pale Of civilization. Yet it is
we'll to note instances now and then to
keep in mind the fact that the teach
ings in the German war book to the eff
feet that humanity is a mistake and q
detriment in war are applied constantly
and systematically. The latest case Is
that Of the steamer Addah, which was
torpedoed without warning and sunk
June Is. When the crew took to the
boats the submarine fired upon them at
short range. One shot struck the cap
tain's boat and killed eight men. The
other occupants Of the boats were also
fired upon as they were swimming about
in the water. Another boat was struck
but not sunk. The next day the sur
vivors were picked up by French
steamer.
It is recognized that submarine can
not rescue the survivors of a sinking
ship. That fact was pressed as an ar
gument against unwarned sinkings by
submarines, and persistence by Germany
in the policy Of sinking ships without
giving an opportunity for their non
combatant passengers and crew to es-
cape was one Of the causes Of the breach
with the United States. Certainly
there is no conceivable warrant for
Smelling helpless men in small boats or
swimming for their lives after their
boats have been crushed by gunfire.
That is sheer lust of slaughter, of no ad-
vantage to Germany and without any
excuse or justification.
These repeated acts of massacre stamp
Germany as the brute among nations.
All these instances are piling up in a
terrible record that Germany must face
eventually. Some day this pirate power
must pay dearly for its orgy of killing.

The War and Prohibition.

It should not be forgotten that the
anti-drink legislation now under con-
sideration is war measure. The House
proposes that there shall be no further
manufacture of either whisky or beer
while the war lasts. Sufficient unto the
day is the prohibition thereof. But
after the war whats
Nobody need doubt that at that time
there will be tussle between the friends
and the foes of drink which for inten-
sity will throw into the shade all pre-
vious tussles. Both will grid up for the
struggle of struggles. The friends Of
drink will be numerous in number, pow
erful in purse, and thirsty to beat the
band. They will work with might and
main to bring the long dry spell to a
close. They will be we'll led, and their
leaders will know the game Of politics.
The foes Of drink will work, not only
to hold what they have, but increase it.
If it shall only be the prohibition Of
whisky they will try to have the prohi-
bition Of beer added. If it shall be the
prohibition Of both whisky and beer they
will try to have the prohibition per-
petuated.
Something will depend, Of course, upon
how the war measure has been admin
istered and how prohibition has worked.
If both army life and civil life have
benefited; if crime has decreased, do
nestle life frightened, and health i'm
proved, the argument for prohibition
as a peace measure will be greatly
strengthened. The effort to revive and
re-establish a proved and discredited
evil will have extremely hard shedding.
Still, we may all be sure, the effort
will be made. The memory Of the bill
lions of money once coined out of the
traffic will inspire all those once en-
gagged in it; and others with money to
invest and seeking big dividends will
join them.
Voting America dry, or even partially
dry, now will mean simply an inaugural
triumph. The hardest fighting will
come later-come after the war closes,
when taxes will be very high, and
sources Of revenue very desirable Then
we shall see Col. Barleycorn and King
Gambrinus offer themselves as patriots,
prepared to do their bit, and a good big
bit, toward the support of the govern
ment. They are crafty gentlemen, with
fine line of talk about personal lib
erty and all the rest of the patter long
familiar in the long fight for a sober
nation.

The Growth of
Washington.

date The Star said:
THE Star enters today upon its goth
volume The growth of Washington
has rendered necessary its enlargement
to it's present dimensions. Our city's
substantial progress has been even
greater since the close Of the war than
during that most eventful period or the
country's history, which altered here
as elsewhere not a few prevailing ideas,
customs, methods and modes; thus to
greater or less extent changing inf1u-
ences pervading society. Everywhere
in the loyal states these changes have
wrought the development of latent in
dustry, enterprise and capability, the
existence of which had not been
dreamed Of The application of this
newly developed basis Of national and
individual prosperity is compromising
the country for its sacrifices and trials
in preserving the nation intact by force
Of arms. Nowhere is the beneficial in
fiuence of this new state of things more
apparent than in our own midst The
fact that some 1900 houses will be
erected in and around Washington in
the course of the current season and the
additional fact that our population has
more than doubled since 1860, prove in
how much these events have
done and are doing for the federal
metropolis. 1t is not too much to say
that they have thus doubled the value
Of every foot of real estate in the Dis
trict Of Columbia as well as the earn
ings of most men within Its limits, liv-'
