by some men Of, political prominence
for years. In 1908 Mr. Bryan showed
a disposition to make It . feature Of his
third attempt to reach the White House,
but yielded to the protests Of democrats
who, willing to support him again on
general principles, were yet unwilling
to support him on that particular prin-
ciple. They SHE'D at that. As others had
done in 1895 on the free silver propo-
s;tion; and had he insisted on govern
ment ownership and operation they
might have bolted his third nomination
as the gold democrats had done his first.
Whenever the proposition is formally
submitted for an expression at the polls
it will be certain Of a conspicuous place
among the issues Of that campaign. 1t
covers a great amount Of money and a
great number Of persons; and those who
oppose it contend that its acceptance
would be a strong Endorsement of state
socialism in a form which would soon
carry the policy into other fields of ac-
tivity.

An EARLY Opening.

Next years congressional campaigns
are already opening. Some fourteen
months must elapse before election day
but there is good deal to talk about
and candidates will be kept busy.
The first announcements are from New
Jersey and Mississippi. In the former
state two candidates for the Senate are
under discussion, and in the latter three,
Other candidates may appear in both
states as time passes.
The topic today is the warts origin,
its justification, and the energy that
should be put into waging it.
But even if peace should be made
meanwhile, the war will still be topic
this time twelve months, when candi-
dates for the Senate and for the House
are on the stump driving for votes.
The records that men in Congress will
have made on war issues will be exam
ined by their opponents, and must be
explained and defended by themselves.
The next Congress will have business
of very great importance to transact.
If not called in extra session, it will
meet by constitutional appointment in
December, 1919, for the first time. In
six months thereafter the presidential
tickets will be put up on platforms re-
citing party records to date, and max
ing party promises for redemption in
case of success at the polls. Hence the
business of that session will have to do
intimately with the national campaigns
of 1920.
If war is still in progress, war meas
ures will, of course, be on the card.
While war lasts Congress must provide
the means for conducting it. But even
in the event of peace. Congress at that
session will have to deal with questions
that have grown out of the war, and
bearing on both our foreign and do
nestle affairs. So that, for two reasons,
the legislative body to be elected in No
vember of next year should contain the
best material available.
That the two old parties will contest
as heretofore seems likely. Individual
changes may be chronicled, but as yet
no signs of breakup in either party
have appeared. Both are supporting
the war, though both are now divided
as to the best measures for its support
But when the time comes for squaring
off for shindy for control of the next
Congress we shall see party spirit show
itself in the usual form, nominations
made on party lines, and candidates sup
ported in the fashion which has made
party government in the United States
strong enough for all emergencies.

A Bit Of Bosche Barbarity.

From verdun is reported typical bit
Of German savagery. Two aviators few
over hospitals behind the city and
dropped incendiary bombs upon them
notwithstanding the plainly visible Red
Cross marks on the building. While the
staff were trying to save from the flames
the survivors who had not been killed
by the projectiles the airmen returned
and from low altitude turned their ma
chine guns on the nurses who we're try
ing to prevent the fire from spreading,
killing seven and wounding twenty. The
raiders attacked the third time with
bombs and machine guns, killing seven
wounded soldiers in their beds and two
Bed Cross nurses. This was repeated
at two other hospitals. Then the Ger
man aviators dropped Bombs upon a
camp where German prisoners were col
lected and wounded many of their coun-
trymen.
Inasmuch as the "Bosche" aviators
appear to have such fondness for
bombing hospitals, why not put the pris
oners in buildings marked with the Red
CROSSE That would cause a wastage of
munitions without any depletion Of the
allied fighting forces. 1t would Incl
dentaHy reduce the cost Of prisoner
maintenance. The idea is worth con-
sideration in view of this particularly
atrocious violation of hospital flags.
When the war is over an appalling
record of barbarities will be written
against Germany. The world does not
know half of the villainies that have
been perpetrated by the kaiser's troops,
some of them under specific orders. The
doctrine of ruthlessness or frightful-
ness has been carried to the extreme.
The murder of the crew of the Belgian
Prince, who were assembled on the deck
of submarine without boats or life
belts and left to drown when the craft
submerged is but type case.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-08-24

without accomplishment. Only by q
strict eoncealment Of the true military
situation can the German government
justify the terrible toll which war is
taking In the minds Of the people. In
all likelihood there Is no concept Of
tho true conditions on the part Of the
Germans, many Of whom it is known
are not aware that the Teutonic forces
in the west have been for over two
years waging losing defensive fight.

The Railroads.

F. A Vanderlip, president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, said in
an address delivered in Chicago the
other day:
1--WE are sailing. not drifting. toward
government ownership of railways. This
IS neither criticism nor warning
1t is what / believe TO be an inevitable
fact. The trend of rate fixing is bound
to bring this about. That trend must
prove fatal to independent operation
of the roads. With no limit TO expenses
which are constantly rising-and with
a decided limit to net earnings with
net receipts running in the inverse ratio
of operating cost government owner
ship Is In the perspective"
So large an order would have to be
submitted to the people, and, of course,
at q national election. Next year, when
new House is to be chosen, would be
too soon. The war may not be over by
then; and if it is not, even SO impor-
tant a question as government owner
ship and operation of railroads could
not receive the proper consideration in
tHc ipdlSA
- Three years hence would be better
time, with both Congress and the presi-
dency in the scale, and when large or
ders that have grown out of the war
will be in order, so to say, for discus
sion and decision.
But even then the proposition would
be at a disadvantage. The country's wal
OUTLAWS are going to be enormous; and
the acquiring of all railroad properties
in the United States would add enor
mously to the public burden. The
money feature alone, not to mention the
addition of so many persons to the civil
list of the government, would at that
time give pause to persons who under
normal conditions might favor the pol
icy.
The proposition, however, is assured
of certain amount of agitation. It ii

The Houston Riot.

From q trifing incident race riot de-
tsloped at Houston, Tex, yesterday that
serious enough in its consequences, with
thirteen dead and many wounded, pre-
sages graver trouble unless the federal
and state authorities exercise the
promptest and wisest precautions. The
remonstrance OF q negro soldier over
the roughness with which a city police
man arrested a negro woman was at the
bottom OF all the riotous disturb
ance. Later in the day another police
man arrested one of the soldiers and
beat him badly when he resisted. Sub
Sequentiy the troops made an attack
upon the police and civilians and gen
eral riot occurred.
Tho bitterest race feeling has been
aroused In Houston and other parts of
Texas In consequence Of this melee. I'm
mediately arises the problem of what
the government is to 60 with the negro
troops IN both the Regular and National
armies in the period Of training. These
men are good soldiers. They have re-
peatedly proved their worth. In the
Spanish-American war the negro regu-
lars were most efficient. But it will be
difficult to effect the perfect discipline
that is required in time of war if they
are made to feel wholly apart from the
remainder of the organization, if
Through these race troubles at home
they are put into defensive attitude.
Protest has been made at the War
Department against sending negro troops
into the south for training, but the de-
partment has ruled that the plans must
be carried out irrespective of the color
of the troops. In view of the Houston
riot it will probably be wise to change
this procedure, and to send the colored
troops into other environments than
those in the southern states. Nothing
will be gained by taking chances with
the intense feeling that has been already
aroused by race rioting.
INC tAoopc cAsdScu III inc hUuSlUu
riots viii, Of course, be disciplined In
memory of the Brownsville affair of sew
eral years ago, however, it is to be
hoped that the strictest justice will be
shown and that the blame for the out
break will not be laid upon an entire
organization if only few members par
ticipated. A thorough investigation
should be conducted at once, to place
responsibility exactly where it belongs.
The fact that unwise police methods
may have provoked the resentment of
the troops does not, of course, make the
latter's assault upon the white commu-
nifty in any degree excusable. If the
men who took part in this riot can be
identified they should be given the ex-
treme punishment They are guilty, in
effect, of mutiny and deserve. the penalty
prescribed for that offense.
