to be more practical than the riding

The Salisbury Law in Effect.

Immediate application Of the Sauls-
bury resolution to prevent the custer
Of tenants was invoked here yesterday,
but resulted in doubt in the mind Of
the court whether the proceedings for
possession under bona fide sale were
to be initiated by the seller or the
buyer. The law is not clear on this
point. Doubtless method of procedure
will be agreed upon. That point is not

was framed for a specific purpose, to
stop the dispossession Of tenants save
in the case Of genuine sales for i'm

recovery of the property by the owner
for his own use, he being in govern
ment work. Just how the law will work
out as affects the housing problem in
this city remains to be seen. 1t will at
least grant immunity from custer to
all who now hold under lease or who
rent from month to month, though it
does not protect those who fail to pay
their rent. There is no aid in the law
for the defaulting tenant.

It is plain that Germany feels under
no restraint whatever respecting the

lated the neutrality Of nations. She
has bombed unfortified places from
the sea and from the air. She has in

wells. She has attacked hospitals and
hospital ships. She has impressed
civilians Of occupied territories into
military service. She has used the peo-
pie of such territories as screens for
her troops. She has looted the homes
of non-combatants. She has committed
atrocities upon unoffending
people. In every conceivable way she
has outraged humanity and deied in

War Criticism.

When is war criticism partisan, and
when patrictice This is question the
interest in which will increase as the
campaigns now opening progress. They
are going to be lively campaigns,
whether, state or national. The war
will be much discussed. Both parties
indorse it, but differences of opinion
will show as to the conduct of hostili-
ties; and these, of course, will find ex-
preston on the stump, in the press,
and elsewhere.
This is taken from a report of the
proceedings of the Indiana republican
state convention just held:
1.-THE platform denounces any criti-
cism of public officials when such
criticisms are inspired by partisanship
or disloyalty, but declares that cour-
ageous and loyal criticism of corrup-
ton and inefieiency should be de-
Tended"
These generalities will have to be
interpreted, and, of course, will be.
Indiana usually is a close state, vigor-
ous1y canvassed for campaign results.
Politics is played up to the hilt by
both sides. Two years ago the repub-
licans, reunited, won. The local leader
ship then declared is now in action,
and will conduct this years fight for
that party.
In an address delivered at Provi-
dence, r. l., recently, at the COM
mencemcnt exercises Of Brown Uni
versity, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
said in discussing the war:
"The great responsibility Of the war
rests upon the executive. No other in
dividual las so large a share Of it..
But Congress as a body has equal re-
sponsibility with the executive"
This needs no Interpretation. It is
Q self-evident fact. The fact, how
ever, needs application. Until very re-
Gently, Congress seemed to ighore, or
to shirk, its duty. The whole burden
was laid upon the President; and very

of his powers to deal with

But Congress is now taking larger
Part than simply voting war supplies.
It is inquiring into the Investments
Of the money, and the value Of what is
oeing obtained. And better late than
never.
The country does not want the
President hampered for any reason in
any Of his legitimate war work. He
is incontestably ommander-in-chiefo Of
the Army and Navy. and as such pos
sesses large authority, and should cx-
ercise it. But Congress should be
quite as particular to exercise its au-
thority. ard to the same end that the
President exercises his.

Government officials. being human
sometimes make mistakes. but they
are swift to correct their mistakes
when they, get wind Of the error.
Take Postmaster General Burleson'
for instance. He has been criticised
at times, as most cabinet officers nave
been, but his heart is in the right
place. those connected with the POST
Office Department know.
Mr.. Burleson never told this little
story on himself, SO here goes:
in the big building on the southwest
corner Of 11th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. He is one OF many
messengers, but his claim to distinc-
ton rests on the fact that he has been
in the service for thirty -hve or forty-
Several months ago he suddenly
found himself reduced in salary from
$500 to 1920, and the only cause given
him was that the department had TO
cut expenses. The old man thought
It pretty hard that he should have
been among those hit, and he wonder
ed at such a reward for his long serV-
ice, but he said nothing,
Nobody heard him complain.
Then. one day, he happened to be
sent up 10 tuc I1OuSS ohhSS DoiiN1Ao

bers of the House post Office commit

Now, it happened that Postmaster
General Burleson himself was visit

present when the messenger came In.
Fate plays strange tricks.
1t also happened that the messen-
ger had never seen the Postmaster
General. Such things can happen in
the big federal offices.

thinking to play a joke on the Post

"Only what?" asked the representa-

Postmaster General Burleson remain

"Oniy 1 don't understand some
things" replied the messenger. AFTER

to git reduced, that seems funny way
to give man reward"
Still the Postmaster General remained
impassive-and unknown.
But the next day an order was issued
at the Post Office Department. 1t was
signed by Postmaster General Burleson
and called for the reinstatement in the
$500 grade.

The War Medals.

A bill is now before each house
Of Congress to provide for the
award of medals of honor and
distinguished service crosses and
other insignia of merit to those
who win distinction in the military
service Of the United States in the
present war. It is expected that these
measures will be pressed promptly to
action, as it is highly desirable that
the United States provide quickly for
means Of recognizing heroism in the
field in the campaign in which its
forces are now engaged in increasing
numbers.
Medals and crosses of this character
should be not merely distinctive. but
should be artistic. There is in the
pending bills no provision for the Sc
lection of designs Of these insignia.
The matter is left indefinite, and un-
less precaution is taken to insure a
proper supervision over the designing
of the tokens of national honor inap-
propriate and inartistic devices may
be perpetrated.
At the recent convention Of the
American Federation of Arts held at
Detroit the resolution was adopted
urging that all designs for medals and
other insignia authorized by Congress
for bestowal for meritorious and dis
tinguisned conduct in the military
service should be approved by the Com
mission of Fine Arts Tho law creating
that body provides that Questions in
volving matters of art in which the
federal government is concerned" shall
be submitted to it.
IF that provision had always been
strictly observed since the creation of
the Commission Of Fine Arts there would
be no occasion now for any specific
enactment. But too often in the past
that body has been ignored in the Sc
lection of designs for public monu-
ments and plans for buildings, and
there is reason now to apprehend a
fsimilar course If Congress does not
distinctly provide that the Commission
Of Fine Arts shall pass judgment upon
designs for these proposed distinguish
ed service insignia
Consequently it is to be hoped that
TIE pending bills viii be amended to
insure the submission Of all0esigns fol-
military service tokens to this estab
ished authority on federal art ques'
tions. The medals to be awarded un
der the pending legislation will be
cherished forever by those who receive
them and by their descendants. They
shouad DO expressive Of tho nationa
ideal and the greatest care should b.
exercised to insure that they will be
designed accordingly.

in legislative attainments. The only
way this can be accomplished is to
establish reasonable limitation on
the time allowed for debate"
There can be no safe challenge Of
this statement in general. A great
many questions of very great impor-
tance in connection with the war and
with other matters will come up in
Congress before peace is restored, and,
what is more, many of them will pre-
sent points never before considered by
an American Congress, They should
have "most careful consideration"
They should be disposed Of with "rea-
sonable speed"
But because Of their number, and
newness, and importance they should
not be disposed of with too great
"speed." Railroad "speed" might be
very unwise-disastrous even in some
cases. The House tried that policy last
year with the revenue measure, and
blundered. Instructed by that expert
ence, it will not blunder in that way
with like question this year. It is
going to give more time to this ques-
tion, and probably to other questions.
There is time enough at the disposal
of Congress to transact all necessary
business. Neither haste nor delay need,
or should, mark its course, but only
diligence. Mo- limit to the session is
fixed by law; and Congress itself
should not work with the calendar or
the clock IN view. A summer session
may be unwelcome, and fall session
might have its disadvantages as re-
spects the congressional campaigns. But
better both than too hurried action on
any measure dealing with any phase
