OUR UNTIMELY INAUGURATION
DAY.

AS often as Inauguration day
comes around the desirability of
a change of date is pointed out.
The weather on the 18th of March,
even at it's best, is seldom favor
able to outdoor ceremonies. But
the familiar suggestion of the
Both of April, the date of Wash
ington's first Inauguration, as a
substitute is not altogether
happy. 1t might settle the
weather question, but that is not,
after all, the chief consideration.
The date should be advanced
rather than delayed if any
change is made. The arrange
ment by which the new Presi-
dent does not take Office until
four months after his election,
and the new Congress does not
assemble, unless called in special
session, for nine months after
that. amounts to an obstruction
Of the peoples will, particularly
when a change of party-control
has been voted. 1t is inconven-
lent, and it may be demoralizing,
or even dangerous, that one Con-
gress should continue to legislate
when the next has already been
elected. And if Mr.. Wilson had
not been his own successor there
would have been innumerable
complications, even if he had
chosen to consult with the Presi-
dent-elect, at such grave crisis
in national affairs as this
Philadelphia Ledger.

CONGRESS TO MEET APRIL End

President Wilson, recognizing
that Germany practically is max
ing war on the United States
on the seas, has called Congress to
assemble in extraordinary ses-
sion April 2 to deal with the
situation.
The purpose of the session
now called two weeks earlier
than the date first set-as an
nounced in the Presidents pro-
clamation is to receive a commu-
nication from the chief executive
on grave questions of inter-
national policy
The President in his address
to Congress will detail how Ger
many practically has been max
ing war on the United States
by the ruthless destruction of
American lives and ships on the
high seas in contravention Of all
the laws of nations and human
ity. 1t is believed that Congress
will speedily declare a state of
war existing.
With the knowledge that the
United States is practically GER
tain to declare a state of war
existing, many officials believe
that Germany may begin war
like operations against the United
States in a fuller sense.
Although the Hague conven-
tons of 1907, to which both the
United States and Germany are
signatories, declare that hostili-
ties shall not begin without for
NAL notice to belligerents as we'll
as neutrals, it is recognized that
The Hague treaties have been so
openly disregarded during the
war in Europe that no compli-
ance with them may be expect
ed with any confidence.

neighbor brought me half bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills. and said she had
been similarly afflicted and that they

two or three bottles. I have had
splendid success with them and have

SEES IN 8-HOUH DECISION END
OF ALL RAIL STRIKES

The Adamson law decision by
the Supreme Court means the
end of all strikes in industries
or utilities engaged in interstate
service, in the opinion of Frank
Hagerman, special Government
attorney in the Missouri, Okla
homa and Gulf Railroad case.
This probably will be done, Mr..
Hagerman declared in a state
ment issued by the improvement
of some body, such as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, to
settle any labor dispute that may
arise.
THE public is to be congratu-
lated on this decision, the state
ment reads. 1t evidently means
that the railroads and their en-
ployes are engaged in a public
service. The great interest of
the public is to see that trains
are kept in motion. This requir-
es men as we'll as engines and
cars. These men must be eff
Gent. To be so requires health
of body and contentment of
mind. Unreasonable hours and
lack of fair pay impair the health
and breed discomfort.
1T is not, however, a one
sided proposition. The men,
having devoted themselves. with
the railroads to this public SER
vice, must do their part.
Therefore, the movement of
trains must not be stopped by
such controversies. If one arises
and both parties cannot agree.
Congress can keep trains moving
by fixing the wages and working
conditions, just as it can settle |
public controversies as to rates |
to be charged and service to he
rendered to shippers and passen- !
gers.

WILL STAND BY DISTRICT.

Senator John Walter Smith, OF
Maryland, will head the Com
mittee on the District of Column
bia for another two-year period,
Notwithstanding his ability to
take any one of a number OF
other big chairmanships, If he
should wish it.
The decision Of the Senator to
remain as the spokesman OF the
District Committee is Influenced
largely by the fact that the at
fairs of the national capital and
of Maryland are so inter-related
that he feels he can serve a
double interest in remaining
where he is. He can do more
good for the State in his present
position than in any other which
the Senate might award him.
Thousands Of Marylanders do
business in Washington. Thous-
ands of Westinghouse have in
terests in the State. The District
is completely surrounded by
Maryland, except that part which
faces the Potomac river. Cues
ton upon question arises in Con-
gress in which the State and the
District are equally concerned
and, as Senator from Maryland
and chairman of the District
Committee, Senator Smith en-
joys the rare opportunity OF
speaking for both at the same
time.
AS chairman of the District
Committee and of the subcom-
mittee OF the Appropriations
Committee dealing with District
appropriations, Senator Smith
holds a dual position Of extraor-
binary power over the govern
ment of the national capital. In
the first instance, he is in charge
of all general legislation for the
District; in the second, he is in
charge of the money with which
to make the laws effective.
For two months prior to the
adjournment of Congress, Sena-
tor Smith worked day and night
upon the District Appropriation
bill. Scores of organizations
and individuals were heard.
Personal inspection of the public
works of the city had to be
made. The District Commiss-
toner's, the School Board and
other municipal officials had to
be consulted, all before the bill
could be drafted. After it was
brought upon the Senator floor
Senator Smith led the debate for
days in its defense, holding off
all those Senators who had pet
projects to serve or pet preju-
dices to vent. After it passed
the Senate the bill had to be
fought out in conference, and
the conference report had to be
driven through the blockade of
the closing days of the Senate.

THE logical result probably
will be the empowering of some
tribunal, like Interstate Com
merce Commission, to settle
labor disputes. This would end
strikes in interstate industrial
work and give the men a trlbu-
nal from which they always could
obtain Justice. "

RUSSIA NOW A DEMOCRACY.

We are living in a stirring time
indeed. Many wonderful things
have happened within the last
three years, but there is nothing
that inspires such amazement as
the fact that Russia, regarded as
the nation in which free govern
ment would be the last to find a
resting place, has, overnig hit,
yielded to the wishes of the peo-
pie and taken the first step to
bring about Democratic govern
ment. The Gar has been de-
posed almost without bloodshed,
and the member of his family
upon whom the rule devolved
has refused to accept it unless
by a mandate of the whole peo-
pie. Within a few days Russia
may be actually a republic.
The advance in enlightened
legislation has been as rapid as
in governmental policy. The re-
strictions have been removed
from the Jews and members
of other races, and complete
freedom of religion has been es-
tablished. That such things
could be brought about so sud-
denly and so defnately almost
passes belief, yet they seem to be
facts. Truly we live in a time
which will occupy a big place in
the history of the world.

EDITOR
WITH THE AMERICANS IN FRANCE.

Frederick Palmer, the veteran correspondent
who has been chosen as the journalistic observer
with Gen. Pershing's army, predicted few weeks
ago-before he was chosen, by the way-that We in
the United States would not know our men were
fighting until We heard the news of actual en-
gagement in which they had figured.
Also, Washington dispatches say that while Gen
Pershing has that portion Of the western front
which will be given to the Americans, it's identity
will not be made public
In spite of the secrecy that is supposed to sur
round movements of the American troops. the cen
sOrs recently allowed telegraphc agency to send
out rather definite report that Pershing's men
would probably get into action before snow flies,
and that their sector is likely to be historic
St Quentin.
Some time ago it was reported in Washington
that the Americans would probably take their
places in the fighting front between the British and
French troops
This would put them somewhere around St.
Quentin, of the base cities in the DouaiC ombrai
ST. Quentin-Lafere line-the backbone of the Ger
man hold on, France and Belgium France and
England both struck some of their most powerful
blows in this section, following up the German
strategic retreat" of March, and the allied ines
are now within sight of ST. Quentin.

fighting through the long months they were in Mex
leo and on the bOrder-and trained in the exact
methods now in use by the allied soldiers, as re
ported by American army observers and all avail
able data
American critics do not believe they will need a
great deal more of this sort of preparation for
tual fighting shoulder to shoulder with Americas
allies against Germany. When they are first sent
to the firing line it is probable the Americans will
first be 'sprinkled in" with British or French vet
Grams They will probably serve in fighting with
these brothers Of the trenches for several weeks
and then the Americans will ego it alone"
