The New Senate Rule.

The rule adopted by the Senate yes
terday is not cloture. But it is a step
in that direction It's value and its sig
nifcance depend. The proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating. We must wait to
see this rule applied-Dy whom, at whose
instigation, TO what measures, and for
what purposes-before the proper Judg-
ment can be formed.
Some interesting things were said in
the debate, which, appropriately enough,
was brief A plan to hobble debate was
disposed of in a few hours. Mr.. Sher-
man, who opposed the rule, quoted
Woodrow Wilson the essayist and his
torian, who had praised unlimited de-
bate in the Senate. against President
Woodrow Wilson, now the power behind
the pending proposition. But the two
had been brought into antagonism so
often in the past four years, the point
lacked force because lacking novelty
and individuality.
Mr.. Hardwick, who supported the rule,
said it struck down 'the last citadel
against despotic autocratic power" in the
President; and Mr.. Vardaman, knowing
its origin and intent, voted for the rule
while declaring that recent events
were not influencing his action. He was
neutrality proposition had produced the
cloture proposition.
1t may not be difficult at any time to
find sixteen senators in agreement as to
closing debate on a bill; but debate
can only be closed by an order of two
thirds of the Senate. The difference
between Is and GA is considerable.
There have been filibusters and fill
busters. Some have had relation to one
thing. some to another. Some have been
successful, and highly praised. There
were senators who rebuked themselves
yesterday. They had flibustered fire.
quently. Nor should it be forgotten
that filibuster had been threatened be-
fore the armed neutrality controversy
arose. Had the rivers and harbors bill
been reached, it would have been talked
to death unless its friends had con-
sented to very heavy reduction of the
sum total And that threat had been
widely applauded.
The Presidents power in the Senate
has been increased but not to the point
of making it absolute If the result is
disappointing, and an effort follows to
"increase the dose"-to apply real gag
rule, as in the House-a fight worthy of
the name will likely take place.

was Of no military consequence. Owing
to the height from which bombs were
dropped there could be no aiming of
missiles, and consequently these raids
were Of a haphazard nature and the
killing of innocent persons, women and
children, and the destruction Of private
property, without in the least lowering
Englands fighting powers, caused a re-
action of public sentiment fully offset
ting the small value to the German
cause For that or possibly some other
reason not now disclosed the Zeppelin
raids we're suspended Not for months
has a German dirigible appeared over
England. And now the man whom the
kaiser has proclaimed to be the greatest
German of the twentieth century is
dead, without realizing his ambition to
contribute to his country weapon ca
pable of bringing her enemies to their
knees. In the days to come, days of
peace, the invention of Count Zeppelin
may be developed into one of the worlds
most valuable agencies. At present it
stands with an ugly record of wanton
destructiveness, and no showing of aid
in the development of trade or facilita-
ton of peaceful travel.

Zeppelin.

Ferdinand Zeppelin died doubtless a
greatly disappointed man. He had de-
voted nearly half his long life to the
study of aeronautics and the develop
ment of the dirigible balloon. He had
evolved wonderful mechanism, capa-
BILE of remarkable performances and Of
a certain destructive power in warfare
that Zeppelin and many Of the Ger
man people confidently expected to prove
the decisive factor in the struggle now
in progress in Europe. At the outset of
the war it seemed that Zeppelin's dream
of conquest by means of his aircraft
might come true. His machines flew
over wide areas and did great damage.
They crossed the channel, and from a
long distant base they destroyed lives
in England and much property. To a
certain extent they caused panic. But
tho Limitations of the Zeppelin were
eventually reached. Several of the ma
chimes were destroyed, and it was proved
finally that the great gas bag, offering
q shining mark in the sky, could not
approach close enough to the earth to
be assured Of aim without exposure to
a destructive fire from the ground, or
to attack by more active and equally
deadly airplanes. The destruction ef-
fected by the Zeppelin on the surface

have beens." If no mistakes were made
the destructiveness of conflict would be
greatly increased, however serious the
sacrifices entailed by blunders. Both
sides make mistakes. England made one
at Gallipoli. 1t is possible that she is
making another now in Macedonia, even
as she made one early in Mesopotamia
which she is now redeeming. Germany
made tremendous mistake at Vcrdun.
Russia made an appalling mistake in
East Prussia early in the war. Both
sides will make more mistakes before
this war is ended, and many regulations
will be ruined. The most striking fea-
ture of the present matter is that Eng
land is so publicly acknowledging the
bunder at Gallipoli and distributing
the blame for it so frankly.

The Guardsmen's Welcome.

| The plans under way for a reception
to the District guardsmen lately return
ed from the border service give the peo-
pie of the District an opportunity to
attest to their appreciation of the work
of the guard as representative of the
National Capital. 1t is proposed to as
semble the $500 men who responded to
the Presidents call on the night of the
21st of March in Convention Hall, after
a short parade through the streets, with
attendant fireworks. These men will be
presented with individual testimonials
in the form of certificates issued in the
name of the citizens of Washington.
They will be given to understand that
the capital recognizes the patriotic
spirit in which they answered the sum-
mons to duty.
A liberal response is to be confidently
expected to the requisition upon the
business community for the small fund
necessary to defray the expenses of this
reception. The plan adopted is a mod
est one, though it assures hearty and
sincere expression of public apprecia-
ton. The money necessary to finance it
should be forthcoming promptly, from
many citizens.
Washington is proud of the showing
made by its representatives at the bor-
der. and doubtless will express itself
adequately on the evening of the 21st,
SO that the men who went forth from
their homes and occupations, many of
them at heavy personal sacrifice, to at
test to their fealty to the government
and to their oath as members of the or
ganized militia will have reason to know
that their service has been properly ap-
praised by their fellow citizens.

The Street Railway Crisis.

| A year ago next Sunday an agree
ment was effected between the employees
of the traction companies in this city
and the companies themselves establish
| ing a provisional scale of hours and
wages, which ended strike lasting for
several days. That agreement is about
to expire, and negotiations are under
way for its renewal with changes. The
operatives are asking for a much more
liberal scale of pay and for the recog-
milton of their union. The companies
are indisposed to recognize the union
and to grant the high pay scale asked
| by the men. The District Commission
ers, as members of the public utilities
commission, are examining the matter
in The hope of effecting adjustments in
season to prevent strike. The situa-
tion is delicate and calls for wise hand
| ling.
Washington will not give countenance
to any movement which ties up the
transportation facilities of the city. Its
experience a year ago was such as to
on a walkout or strike interfering in
any degree with the operation of the
car lines. As to the matter of union
recognition, the public has but little
concern. That is a matter between the
companies and the men exclusively. 1t
is detail of management. To the men
themselves and to the companies it may
be question of principle. and in this
present situation it is likely to be the
chief stumbling block to an adjustment.
One of the companies has offered new
pay scale which grants some advances
over the old, but falls short considerably
of the wage demanded by the operatives.
This company declares that it cannot
possibly afford to pay the scale asked
by the operatives at the present rate of
street railway fares in the District
This matter should be adjusted by the
public utilities commission. It should
certainly not go to the point of strike.
A suspension of service would involve
immense losses and dislocate the af-
fairs of the District seriously. If the
men who are now engaged will not work
the companies will be under obligations
to fill their places. and the Commission
ers will be in duty bound to provide
protection for them in the operation of
their lines. In these circumstances
strike would be a movement against law
and order. and would prejudice the
cause of the operatives in their endeavor
to obtain better conditions.
There is no particular sanctity about
the date of the provisional agreement
of year ago. The fact that it expires
on Sunday does not justify walkout
that day so long as there is any pos
sibility of a settlement, provisional or
permanent. If an adjustment cannot
be effected before Sunday some work
ing arrangement should be devised to
permit the operation of the lines pend
ing the writing of new scale. A com
plete stoppage of traffic because of fail
ure to reach such an agreement would
be intolerable, and public sentiment
would be strongly in opposition to the
side that by its obstinacy or persistence
caused a strike in the face of possible
arrangements for the accommodation of
the people. for which the traction lines
are established.
