The Police Awake.

After the occurrences in the south
west on Saturday night there can
be no further doubt OF the eondi-
tions that exisS there. When hun
dreds Of soldiers congregate in one
section there is something drawing
them to that section. In this case
IL is the wide-open aspect Of the
place.
The police department makes a
tacit admission that they are unable
to cope with the situation in the
fact that on Saturday night platoon
' OF soldiers armed with rifles were
called to assist the police in guard
ing the section. At $3.50 o'clock yes
terday morning these soldiers to-
gether with policemen were guard
ing Four-and-a-Half street at Mary
/ land avenue.
Maj. Pullman announced last night
th-- the police department would
pay the expenses OF any private in
vestigations that would bring proof
for arrests and convictions OF vio-
lations of the law in the section.
Maj. Pullman also admitted that
open solicitation and the selling Of
Intoxicants to soldiers and sailors
had been going on.
The Washington Herald knows
that it is still going on and until
drastic measures are adopted for the
cleaning up Of this section. the city
will be constantly in danger Of riots
such as broke out yesterday morn
ing.
An afternoon paper quotes Mai
Pullman as saying that he did not
believe that there would be any
race riots in Washington. We hope
not, but it will take more than a
mere statement from our polio, ctief
to prevent them.
If Secretaries Daniels and Baker
would take the same steps in Wash
ington that were taken in other
cities good bit of the danger
would be eliminated. With hundreds
OF soldiers carrying revolvers in a
section where they are able to get
intoxicants, trouble is bound to fol-
low.
The captain Of the Fourth pre-
cinct is also quoted as saying that
they would be prepared for such
occurrences on next Saturday night.
The Washington Herald has been
trying to get them to prepare for
more than a week, but We are glad
that they have at last awakened to
the seriousness OF the situation and
will take adequate measures to pre-
vent its repetition.

railroads ordered the immediate return
to the lines which served the Lake
ports OF all of their self-clearing coal
cars, OF which there was much need.
Cooperation was by mid August so
successful that IL was possible TO fore
cast considerable relief to the situa-
tion. Cooperation made II possible
to load into boats at Lake Erie ports
by mid-August nearly 100000 tons of
coal. That, however, was not half
enough completely to assure the
northwest that it was not in danger
of coal shortage. There remain from
the first OF September about fourteen
weeks when Lake navigations is
usually open. In that time there must
be loaded and moved to the Northwest
100000 additional tons OF coal. A
variety of causes have made it pos
sible already TO transport coal from
Lake Erie ports to the head OF Lake
Superior to the extent that is neCes-
sary. Therefore 1t is vital that relief
be at once secured since the fuel for
domestic consumption in the great
northwest is chiefly supplied through
Duluth and contiguous ports. There
may be a shortage of coal Of from
100000 to 5,Oco, 600 tons, but this can

government sees TO 1t that coal pro-
ducers sell a reasonable proportion of
their total output in such manner as
to make it possible to move it through
the Lakes.
The Railway War Board is con-
WINGED that it Is of vital national i'm
portance that an adequate supply of
fuel for the northwest be secured. for
unless the fuel can be placed there
prior to the close of the navigation
ther will inevitably be a reduction next
year in the food supply produced in
that region and in the iron ore ship
ped down the Lakes. This is one OF
the problems TO which the Railway
War Board is now giving very serious
consideration but II this board had
not been organized and permitted TO
operate with a free hand the fuel sup
ply shortage in the northwest this
winter would have created a situation
of the utmost gravity.

Labor in the War.

Labor Day has always been an i'm
portant holiday on the American
calendar; today-the first war Labor
Day, and perhaps the last-is more
significant than any of its predeces-
sors.
American labor today stands higher
as political force, as a moral force,
as dominant influence in the nations 5
| councils. than ever before. It has
had wise leadership. and a splendid
morale
German gold has been active in the
ranks Of labor. but the net harvest
Of the bribery has been pitifully
small. Where are the strikes which
threatened US? Where the sabotage,
the bomb outrages. and the what-nots
that the I. w. w. were going to
tumble over our heads? They have
been so few that the nation has paid
no serious attention to them.
Labor has had-as We have said
extremely intelligent leadership, and
it has assumed its war burden glor-
iously. Pacifists and alien influences
have concentrated their fire upon the
rank and file, but without any effect
whatsoever. Samuel Gompers has
been one of the greatest war forces
in the country. There has never
been any question about where he
stood, nor any question as to whether
labor should whoie-heartedIy support
the President in the tremendous task
he has assumed.
Therefore Labor Day, 1917, means a
great deal more to the United States
than any of its predecessors. 1t gives
organized labor a new standing in the
land. 1t is a national holiday in the
true sense Of the word. and on thou
sands Of rostrums today new pledges
Of fealty to the war program will
be given.
II Germany wants to plumb the real
war spirit Of America, she can do
nothing better than to watch the
celebration of labor today. That
will be sufficient answer to her cher
ished hopes that her busy propagan-
dists have found a fertile field for
their poisons among the workers and
toilers Of the United States.

The death rate from wounds in
the war is less than one-half as
great as IL was a year ago. DR..

The work already accomplished by
this Railway War Board is regarded
Is sufficient proof that private owner
ship of the railroads of the United
States can most successfully meet
the great problems of transportation
which are to arise after the war
provided only there be wise and ex-
pert regulation of the railroads and
spirit of cooperation manifested
by the public.
Recently Frank A. Vanderlip is re-
ported to have said at Chicago thay
the first steps toward government
ownership OF the railroads have been
taken, but in this view members of
the Railway War Board do not agree.
They are persuaded that what they
have already accomplished and these
other things they expect to accom-
plish will make 1t clear that private
ownership and wise management
guided by sane regulation will produce
better results than government owner
ship could.
A Great Crisis Already Met.
Some of the members Of the Ran-
way War Board are familiar from per-
sonal experience with conditions lii
inc NOrllNeSt ana nave been aware
that the situation there is very
critical because there is scarcity OF
coal. Howard Elliott, for instance,
who when president OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad spent ten winters in
the Northwest, has accurate knowl-
edge of the severity of the winter
season in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
the two Dakotas. Early in the sum-
mer the attention of the Railway War
Board was formally brought to the
situation respecting coal shortage in
the Northwest and to the Imperative
need of so handling the problem as
to relieve this shortage. 1t was de-
cided. for instance. to organize an as
sociation known as the Lake Erie
Bituminous Coal exchange.
The purpose of this organization was
the eXpediting of the movement of
coal through the Lakes to the north
west. The organization had already
justified its formation for it has been
very helpful. Furthermore by the ad-
vice Of the Railway War Board the

For courage in that human wight,
Who dwells in such a stronghold state
That everybody fears his might.
But for the puny little chap.
Who knows he's licked ere he begins,
Yet calmly faces that mishap-
His nerve my admiration wins.
His is the courage true and tried;
His is the nerve that made man free
Rather than his whose chesty pride

CORNMl1lEllA4L EXCEPTION
Sugar and Wheat Substitute
May Be Sold Together.
for Present.

Another step towards more efficient
food conservation was taken yesterday
by State Food Administrator Atkinson
when he notified the grocerymen Of
the state that all combination sales
would be prohibited after this date.
The order is aimed at the combina-
ton sales by which a consumer saves
Il few cents on one article by pur-
chasing a number of other articles.
The order Of Mr.. Atkinson also
places other restrictions upon the gro
ccrymen. The order follows:
ION and after this date all comb-
nation sales Of food commodities are
below. The sales of one or more food
commodities upon condition that the
purchaser shall buy one or more other
food commodities from the seller Is
regarded as a combination sale within
the meaning of this rule.
Combination sales frequently result
in the sale of more foodstufts than
the particular purchaser would ordi-
narily buy and could therefore be de-
tc11iined to be a wastcful practice
within the meaning Of section four OF
the food administration act of August
10. 1917.
AN exception pending further no.
ticc is made as a wheat conservation
measure as follows:
Seller may sell sugar in conlbina-
ton with cornmcal at the rate of one
pound Of sugar to two pounds OF corn
meal. No other combination will be
permitted nor will any other ratio than
that here stated be allowed.
''The dealer shall not sell either
cornmeal or sugar at i. price yielding
him a profit greater than he has nor
ma1ly enjoyed upon the particular
commodity.
Dealers are not required to make
combination sales on cornmeal and
sugar but may do SO at their discrc-
ton. Active steps will be taken at
once to enforce this decision
