Saving for Country.

Secretary McAdoo's call for meet
ing in this city December 10 of repre-
sentatives from liberty loan committees
from all over the country is in antici-
patton of the issuance of another lib
erty loan after February 1. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury is setting his
house in order to float the loan. The
public at large is gently admonished
thereby to get ready to absorb the loan.
That the loan will be cheerfully sub
scribed goes without saying. 1t "has
got to be- to borrow a phrase from
wars necessities. At the same time it
devolves upon the men and women who
must furnish the money to consider ways
and means to that end.
Frank A. Vanderlip, who has rendered
yeoman assistance to the Treasury De-
partment in organizing the war savings
stamps plan for raising money, contends
that the subscriptions to war loans must
be made as far as possible ont of cur
rent savings; not out of depletion of
existing savings accounts, nor selling
good securities. but by sacrifice and self
denial. His idea is that the war should
be financed by the individual citizen
accommodating bank credit, transferring
it to the government. the latter turning
it over in payment for supplies. The
people, he contends, must create the
purchasing power by themselves alb
staining from using it and transferring
the power thus created to their govern
ment.
Financing the war thus becomes sim
pier problem for all concerned. The
habit of saving will become fixed with
people unaccustomed to it before. Nat
urally, the suggestion to save does not
mean that every one. is to become an
Old scrooge. There is difference be-
tween economy and niggardliness. But
saving, here little, there little, will
count heavily in totals. One has only
to reflect moment to realize how many
nickels and dimes can be withheld from
expenditure in day without inflicting
even Inconvenience. The little mice nib
BILE the cheese away.
At any rate, we will have to get ready
for another liberty loan and look that
certainty in the face, commencing now.
Saving is one way to prepare for it.

A Traffic Expert.

1t is to be hoped that the consulting
engineer just named by the Public
Utilities Commission will be able to
reach some conclusion quickly which
upon adoption will lead to relief from
the present street car congestion. 1t is
expected that he viii hold hearings to
ascertain the exact situation and re-
ceive suggestions Doubtless the public
will have proposals to offer. Certainly
there will be no lack of complaint as to
the inadequacy of the present service.
Nothing has yet been done as TO the
adoption of the "stagger' system for
beginning and ending work in the gov
eminent departments. which would dis
tribute the load over a longer period in
the morning and the evening and would
render the present trackage and car
equipment much more efficient. Nor
has anything been done toward the
adoption Of the "stagger STOP" or skip
stop" system of car operation, which,
it is claimed, wori. me- case the run
ming speed by cutting out many stops
and concentrating the loading and I'M
foading of cars. The commissions
traffic engineer will bring to the local
problem knowledge of conditions in
New York, where the difficulties are pc
euliar, but where they are not in some
respects as great as here owing to the
sharp concentration of the traffic de-
mand in two very brief periods of morn
ing and evening. The public hopes that
the expert study of the situation will
not be protracted, as relief is required
ut once from conditions that have be-
come intolerable and even dangerous to
the public security.

Suffrage and Prohibition.

A day each to the suffrage question
and the prohibition question is the
House allowance. 1t is enough. Both
questions have been under discussion
for years. Both are we'll understood in
Ill their phases. The House is probably
ready for roll call on each. No
5peeehes, however eloquent, will do more
now than answer for their authors. They
win not be expected to affect the re-
salt.
1.-Two states voted last month on the
) sonrage question. New York reversed
herseH, throwing q large majority for,
m against a previous large majority
ae1inst, the women. In the circum-
stances, 1t was q notable triumph. Ohio
repeated an adverse vote she had cast
several years ago. The women made an
energetic campaign, but could not bring
public sentiment around to their point
Of view. seHsls
The recent votes Of three states on
the prohibition question have seemed to
give the vets much comfort. And yet
there appears no ground for the feeling.

Col. Houses Activities.

Col House is an exceedingly busy

information on all branches Of the sub
ject engaging him. Among his callers
are lawmakers, diplomats, financiers,
soldiers and sailors. His conferences
are numerous. His importance is
recognized All understand his rela-
tions with the President, and hence the
general desire Of those with word to
say to say it to him. They know that
whatever they say Of value will reach
the Presidents ears and receive his at
tention.
Indeed, Col. House will return with a
full budget Of news and views. His mis-
sion is the most momentous ever in
trusted to him. He probably appre-
ciates the fact thoroughly. The Presi.
dent wants all the light obtainable on
the European situation. His sources of
