The Food Administrator.

Though not vested with the power of
pricefxing, the local food administra'
tor, Mr.. Clarence Wilson, has been
placed in position of great RESPONSE
bility and with sufficient authority to
materially assist in the proper distribu-
ton of food and the prevention of specu-
lation. His selection for this important
task is most gratifying. He is life
long Washingtonian, thoroughly ac-
Quainted with the city and its people
and familiar with business and social
and personal conditions here. He is
possessed of qualifications eminently fit
ting him for this onerous task, the only
compensation for which lies in the graft
tude Of the community for public serv-
ices rendered.
Specifically the food administrator Is
charged with the duty of preventing
boarding and speculation. This enables
him to reach two of the greatest evils
in the food situation. In the discharge
of this duty he should receive the sup
port Of the people, not only in their ODE
dience to the injunction against waste
and boarding, but in information rela-
tive to improper practices by dealers.
If the people themselves secrete food
stuffs or if they submit uncomplainingly
to e1tortion in the markets they handi-
cap the food administrator.

Honor for Alexander Graham Bell

Washington feels keen interest in
the ceremony which takes place today
at Brantford, Ontario, at the unwilling
of a monument erected to commemorate
the invention of the telephone, for
Alexander Graham Bell, in whose honor
this memorial has been erected, is a citi-
zen of the capital and the people Of
this District have always looked with
neighborly pride upon his achievements
N the field of science. It was at Brant-
ford that DR.. Bell lived when he came
to America from Scotland, and there
that he conducted the experiments that
led to the invention Of the telephone in
1874. 1t is impossible to measure the
value to humanity Of the invention
which this memorial commentaries. DR..
Bell has, indeed, been a benefactor to
the race in this single achievement. But
his scientific contributions are not con-
fined to the discovery of means of
transmitting the human voice over long
distances. He has been continuously &C.
tive in various fields of scientific re-
search and development for many years.
1t is doubly gratifying that this me-
mortal, erected at the place of his
studies that led to the world changing
invention, has been completed and is
dedicated in his lifetime that he may
realize and eniov tho puh1ic,c hoo rtv
appreciation of himself and of his work

The DRY Law Sustained,

Justice Gould's decision that the Dis
trict prohibition law is valid insures the
enforcement of the new statute a week
from tomorrow. Though an appeal is
taken to the Court Of Appeals there will
beginning November l. Thus it is as
sured that the traffic in liquor will
cease in the District on that day. AL
though the law was enacted without ref
erence to the people of Washington,
which The Star would have preferred,
today's decision enforcing elimination
of the saloon evil is welcomed as max
ing for better, healthier, more pros
porous and safer Washington.

committee listened to suggestions from

Some were accepted. The Houses work

And so the measure that had been hur-

the President for his signature: Is there

Congress In a hurry is Congress at a
disadvantage. And especially Is this true
in matter of such great Importance as
that of taxation. "The pocket nerve
needs to be handled with care and full
comprehension of all things connected
with it. When the tax-gatherers open
shop, it should be with bills that need
no explanations. 1t is no pleasure to
visit them, even under the most favor
able circumstances, and hence they
should not be handicapped by having to
present bills whose accuracy is under
challenge by those who are obliged to
pay. In revising tariffs, or arranging
revenue collections from other sources,
hurry is bad adviser.

A Record of Traffic Cases.

Last week over $4,000 was collected in
the Police Court in fines and forfeitures
for violations Of the traffic rules. It
was the largest week In the history Of
the court, 900 cases having been cited.
That means over sighty-fve arrests q
day. Whether this heavy number Of
violations is due to an increasing dis
regard Of the law or greater vigilance
and enterprise on the part Of the po-
lice is not clear, but the total of ar
rests is certainly indicative Of a serious
lack Of appreciation on the part Of chauf-
feurs and drivers Of the need Of care
in using the city's streets.
There should be no ignorance Of the
traffic rules at this time. They have
been repeatedly published, in newspa-
psss and in leaflets that haxe had wide
circulation. Presumably every nov

Liberty Day.

Liberty day. The day set apart by
President Wilson's proclamation for the
concentration Of the national energies
upon making tho second liberty loan a
great success.
Locally lowering skies cannot quench
the spirit of the people. After some time
of question as to the success of the loan
the national spirit has struck fire and
from one end of the land to the other
the people are buying bonds.
Dispatches have come from Europe
telling of the expression by the kaiser
of his keen satisfaction at the success
Of the latest German war loan. The
American people are not going to give
him now the satisfaction Of witnessing
q laggard loan in this country. Every
dollar the government asks for must
and will be subscribed. The minimum
of three billion dollars must and will be
passed and the maximum Of five billions
reached. Although the loan itself is
limited to three billions. the point set
by the government in oversubscriptions
or reserve bids for bonds must and will
be attained.
Liberty day is day set apart
for national understanding of the rea-
sons why this war is being waged. why
the United States entered it and why
it must be won. When this day ends
there should be no part of the United
States where these truths have not been
uttered to the full appreciation of their
significance
Under the terms on which banks are
selling liberty bonds for the govern
ment it is possible to pay for $50 bond
at the rate of II cents day. If every
one of the hundred million people in
the United States took one of these lit
Hest bonds the five billion dollars would
be subscribed.
Economies that will not be felt will
yield this amount. It is possible to pay
for these bonds without real strain. But
whether there is strain or not, they must
be taken. The government must have
money to run the war We have started
something that must be finished or we
go to ruin as nation. 1t is life or
death with the United States now, and
the appeals for liberty bonds are not
made on the strength of sentiment alone.
It is a specific personal question with
every American that must be met and
answered today, if possible, and GER
tainly before the close of banking hours
on Saturday.
Washington has at latest official ac-
counts bought bonds to the value of
80 ,2s2 500, subscribed for by 23,o57 peo-
pie. There are some $4,000 people yet
to be heard from to bring the total Of
individual subscribers in Washington
up to the mark of last June. Make the
Liberty day total SO big that the margin
will be nearly closed tonight

Truth; Not Poetry.

It's no time for gems poetic;
For the world is getting rough.
It is most too energetic
For the dainty rhyming stuff.
If you want the birds and roses
In the years that lie beyond
Drop the present frills and poses.
Get to work and buy bond.
If of sweethearts you would carol,
And the home you love so dear,
And behold in gay apparel
Blossoming spring with skies so clear
Just remember all the beauty
Will forsake your hopes SO fond.
# you fail to do your duty.
Step along and buy bond.

the rules, an understanding Of which 10
supposed to be the first requisite in the
process Of obtaining permit to oper-
ate ear. The excessive number of vio-
lations indicates that the street users
are not particular whether they obey
the laws or not, or that cars are being
run in the streets of this city by per-
sons who are not competent to operate
them.
One of the first steps to be taken in
the prosecution of the safety first" cam
paign to make the streets of Washing
ton less dangerous is to ascertain
whether the process of granting licenses
is sufficiently thorough to insure com
petence at the steering wheels. No per-
son should be permitted to run ear in
Washington unless he has proved his
ability to manage it in all situations
and also his thorough understanding of
the traffic rules Moreover, steps should
be taken to make certain that no car
is operated save by person who holds
a license granted with these precautions.
The license does not go with the ear.
The family automobile should not be
run by all members of the family: If
the police We're to round up the motor
lists of this city on a given day they
would probably find a large percentage
of the ears in charge of persons who
have never been licensed by the Dis
trict to operate machines. Such course
would undoubtedly add heavily to the
already high total of weekly eases in
the Police Court.
