Skip-Stop and Stagger Plans.

Washington has outgrown its street
car equipment. The present facilities
for city transportation are inadequate
because it is impossible on the existing
trackage to run enough cars in the pres
ent conditions without causing blockades
in the downtown section where the lines
converge and cross. The basic remedy
for this condition is the establishment
of new lines, but owing to the conforma-
tion of the city and the comparatively
narrow area of business only a few
streets remain available for such lines
and their location on such streets would
add to the vehicular congestion. In
these circumstances the plan to increase
the headway of the cars on the existing
trackage by eliminating certain stops is
under consideration by the public utili-
ties commission. Two proposals have
been advanced, one called the Skip
stop" system and the other the "stagger"
system. By the skip-stop system the cars
would stop only at every other street.
Under the stagger system the skip-stops
alternate, the cars on one track stop
ping at streets that cars on the other
track have skipped. The latter plan. it
is urged, equalizies the inconvenience, SO
that person making q round trip has
only one block to walk beyond his usual
Evening star., 1917-09-25

distance to or from the car, whereas
under the skip-stop system he may be
compelled to walk two blocks extra
daily.
By skipping every other stop each car,
it is urged, can be sent through more
rapidly than if the car is brought to a
halt at every street corner. Presumably
each car will carry the same number of
passengers, but they will be taken on
and let off at half the number of places
as under the present system, the time
gained being that now lost in bringing
the car to halt, opening the doors, get
ting the outgoing and ingoing passen-
gers under way and giving the cars
headway from the stop. The operating
company will also gain in power, as it
requires more current to start halted
car than to run it under headway.
whether the results in faster car move
ment will justify the inconvenience to
the public in the requirement to walk
short distance can only be determined
by the experiment. The commission
would be justified in adopting the sys-
TEN in one or another form provision
ally. If material Improvement in the
service does not follow, the old method
can be restored. Anything that does not
menace the public safety and will get
the crowds moved more speedily is worth
trying.

The House Indignant.

Yesterdays outburst of indignation in
the House of Representatives was per
| fectly natural in the circumstances A
member of the House had in his place
| on the floor declared that if he we're
| permitted to express his opinion he
could name thirteen or fourteen men in
| the House and Senate who in his iudp-
ment had acted in suspicious manner.
and this in connection with the d;sc1o-
sure that the late German ambassador
to this country had requested of his
government authority to spend $50. 900
to influence Congress. The implication
was explicit that certain unnamed mem
bers of the House and Senate had come
under the corrupting influence of the
German ambassador. When CHALLENGED
TO name the persons whom he suspected
the member refused. The Speaker has
referred to the rules committee a reso-
luton to inquire into the charges com
prlsed in this and other published state
ments IN the form of interviews. The
adoption of the resolution by the House
and the institution of the INQUIRY should
follow promptly. The membership of
the House and Senate should not rest
under the vague imputation of corrup
ton conveyed by innuendo. Nobody be-
lieves seriously that the Won Bernstorff
fund was used in direct bribery of mem
berS of the House or Senate. Certain
members of both houses have undoubt
edly acted and talked and voted in n
manner contrary to the public senti
ment respecting Germany and the war.
but their motives are not attributed to
venality. 1t is, however, incum bent upon
each house, now that corruption has
been insinuated, to probe to the bot
tom of the Won Bernstorff "infiuence"
fund, with the aid of such additional
information as the State Department
may be able to furnish out of its secret
records.

The I. w. WIS Treason Plot.

Testimony given at Enid, Okla. in the
trial of eleven anti-dr agitators points
to an elaborate plot by the Industrial
Workers of the World and affiliated or
ranizations to start n nation wide re
volt in this country at the end of July,
last. According to the witness, one of
the affiliated organizations called the
Working Class Union was to take pos
session of small towns on the day set,
seize the banks, burn bridges and cut
telegraph wires, while the I. w. W. was
ner Members of the organization had
been told that two carloads of rifles
would be available when needed. Funds
had been provided for the purchase of
dynamite. 1t was estimated that two
million men would rise in this revolt,
aimed at the successful execution of the
draft law primarily, but designed as the
beginning of a great economic revolu-
ton, such as the l. W. W. has been
preaching for some years.
The utter futility of such a revolt is
apparent to any sensible person. Yet
undoubtedly the promoters of this re-
action against the government sincerely
thought that it might actually prevent
the successful execution of the National
Army act. That the promoters of this
by others is more than suspected. There
Is evidence that the funds for this treas
enable enterprise were supplied by the
national enemy. Enough is known of
Germany's activity in promoting sedition
in the United States by corrupt means
to justify the belief that the l. w. WIS
malevolent procedure against the draft
and for the embarrassment of industries
has been directly purchased by agents
of Berlin
1t is good to know that organized labor
repudiates this organization, that it is
not representative of the American
workingmen. Its membership is chiefly
of alien extraction. The men who be-
long to it are, in large part, deluded by
the leaders into the belief that through
their courses will come not merely
higher wages but an economic overturn
that will give the mills and farms and
factories to the workingmen themselves
without cost. Now that the reasonable
character of this propaganda is disclosed
it should be not difficult to persuade the
rank and file of this and kindred organi-
cations that the whole movement is
based upon falsehood and crime and
that the safe course for any workingman
Is to separate himself promptly and def
initely from such associations.

proposition gained, until the friends OF
the drink traffic were routed. Patriotic
sentiment Joined to moral sentiment
proved irresistible.
The prohibition leaders everywhere
are issuing the same admonition Mr..
Bryan has just addressed to the pro-
hibitionists of Iowa. The situation is
good, and the prospects are excellent.
But take nothing for granted. Keep
awake and alert at the switch.
This advice is based upon the fact
that. although now in defeat and dis
abled, the liquor interest has not aban-
doned the struggle. 1t hopes to come
backs preparing. indeed. to renew the
fight at the first opportunity, and it
figures that the close of the war will af-
ford the opportunity. This is its comfort
ing calculation: At the close of hostilities
the country will be carrying a heavy
load of debt. Large assessments for
taxes will be necessary for some years,
and Congress must apportion them so as
to avoid rs much as possible pressure on
recognized necessaries of life. Why not
assess whisky againf Why should not
its manufacture be resumed9 Let regu-
lation as to sale-especially retail sale
be strict. but let the traffic be renewed.
The food supply being no longer threat
ened, why not permit grain to be used
as before the war began.
The prohibitionists have won much,
but not all necessary to insure security
against the worst forms of the drink
traffic. Some hard fighting is yet to
come, and preparation for it could not
be too thorough
