New York's Dry Referendum,

The federal prohibition amendment
got its first setback yesterday, when the
New York legislative assembly, by a
vote of "a to "a. adopted substitute
for the ratification resolution, provid-
ing for a referendum ON the question to
be held this fall. II is expected that
the senate viii concur in this action.
This is not rejection of the amend
mont. 1t merely postpones action and
refers the matter to the people. mas
much as ratification by three fourths of
the legislatures is impossible this year,
owing to the fact that only a few of
the states are in legislative session and
that the number necessary to ratify
viii not assemble until next January,
the delay in New York is not material.
\ statewide vote on the question of fed
eral prohibition. now that the women
have been enfranchised in New York,

amendment.

and badly mixed local conditions. And

and badly mixed local conditions. And
so forth.
It is not likely that the experienced
politicians of the two old parties will
be misled by any such talk. That they
are thoroughly alert We may all believe
| That it is their business to take nothing
for granted, but search everything for
the true meaning, we all know. They
are students of, and strive to make them
selves experts in using, camoufiage. The
old game of ''possum" is known to them
They play it themselves.
As these men we'll understand, the
regular congressional campaigns-those
10 be decided on the regular election
day-are as yet but in the first shapings.
New elements may enter into them as
time passes. If new issues arise they
must be promptly dealt with. In times
like the present, nearly anything may
happen.
The worst thing that could happen
would be even a moderate degree of ma
tional success by the socialist party. Its
frankly proclaimed principles and pur-
poses are at war with all for which the
republic stands To accept them is to
confess that the form of government
which Washington founded and Lincoln
preserved is obsolete, and should give
place to one founded on lines not only
different, but radically different. If we
are ready to make that confession and
follow it to its logical conclusion
scrapping the old government, which has
never failed us, and fashioning a new,
which at best would be but an expert
ment-then state socialism is the word.
For these reasons the managers of the
two old parties-the men who are to
guide their fortunes in this years con-
tests-wiH, we may all be sure, keep
their eyes wide open and guard against
surprises. Socialism may have shot it's
bolt. It may never again score any
where as it did in New York last No
vember. But to assume such a thing
and act upon the assumption at such a
time as this would be not only poor,
but reckless, politics

Street Car Types.

| One of the recommendations of Traffic
! Expert Beeler to the Public Utilities
| Commission is that the equipment of
| the Washington Railway and Electric
Company should be so distributed as far
as possible that all the cars on one line
| shall be of the same general type. This
| emphasizes anew the fact that the cars
| in use on this system are of wide
range of construction from the ol1-style
| longitudinal-seat car with the roaming
| conductor to the middle entrance abomi-
nation. There are at least six different
types of cars now in use on these lines,
and none of them is as good as the pay
| as-you-enter or the pay-within cars used
on the Capital Traction system, for the
convenience of passengers or for speed
of operation. Were it not that there
is little choice between them it would
be a hardship on the patrons of the vari
Gus lines to compel them TO endure the
same kind of cas- day after day Iu
one respect M. Beeler's suggestion is
calculated to work out advantageously.
He proposes that cars of the greatest ca
paeity and highest speed should be used
on the principal routes and the slower
and smaller cars transferred to the less
congested lines. All this, however, goes
to the point of the proposition that at
the earliest possible moment the Wash
ington ear type should be standardized.
Nothing has been said thus far as to the
style of new ears for which it is stated
| negotiations have been opened by the
/ two companies. Has the Public Utilities
| Commission passed upon the type of
cars ordered7 It should certainly have
something to say about the style of con
veyanees that it is proposed to add to
| the miscellaneous equipment now OPP
crating-with frequent blockades-on

the reason that we are expected to make
up a large part of the loss Of Russia
to the cause.
That loss is only approximate now.
But if Russia shall prove to be perma-
nently and entirely out of the war, ex-
cept as help in fragments to Germany,
our efforts will have to go beyond origi-
nal calculations We shall be obliged to
draw upon our full resources.
In all war matters Congress has duties
of great Importance to perform, and
must perform them. 1t cannot pass the
buck. Of late it has been showing a
lively appreciation of this TACT. A few
months ago it asked few questions. To
day it is asking many, 1t wants to know
where money voted is going. 1t is curl
GUS as to requests for more power by
executives.
At such time speculation about ad
journment seems out of place. Con
gress ought to stay on the job while the
real size of the job is being determined,
and its full requirements are being ap-
praised. Otherwise. delays and confu-
sions win be likely.
Adjournment in July has reference to
the congressional campaigns; to en-
abling senators and representatives who
aspire to reelection to go home and
take early charge of their contests.
That is all very well. "The masters
eye is much in such matters. But the

concerned, is of more immediate in

Casualty Lists Not a Problem

1t is stated that the chief objection
to the printing of full particulars re-
garaing the war casualties is that the
enemy may gain information from them
as to the results of particular engage
ments. This can easily be avoided by
emitting the dates on which the casual
ties reported were inflicted. AS a mat
ter of fact, it is of no particular mo-
ment to the friends and relatives of our
soldiers as to the exact time when they
are wounded or killed. The main de-
sire on the part of the people is to be
told who falls IN action. This cannot
be accomplished by merely printing the
name of the soldier, without his home
address. IT is uncomfortable that any
valuable information should reach the
enemy by stating. for instance, that
John Robinson of Milwaukee was killed
in action, Or that William Johnson of
Wheeling was wounded. Either may
have been a Regular Army, National
Army or National Guard man. No iden-
LITIGATION of his unit is assured through
the printing of his home town. As the
lists are now printed confusion is in
evitablc. Every list contains names that
have their duplicates or triplicates in the
army rolls. Even some of the less com
mon names occur as high as forty times
on the rosters. To print the bare name
is to cause the friends of every one of
the soldiers bearing that name to think
that they may be dead or wounded It
is a cruel deception, none the less so
because unintentionaI Nor should the
lists be delayed for weekly or monthly
publication. They should be printed
day by day. emitting dates of the IN
Fiction of wounds. and giving home 10
cations. Whatever information the
enemy can get from such list would
probably be of no value whatever to
them. Certainly printing the list as at
present is causing a distinctly bad re
action in the United States
