The Freight Embargo.

Director General McAdoo places an
embargo on all freight save fuel, food
and munitions on the Pennsylvania rail-
road east Of Pittsburgh, on the Halti.
more and Ohio railroad east Of the Ohio
river and ON the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad. This is an emergency
measure of great importance and far.
reaching results. It stops all CONNER
eial transportation save in the lines
mentioned over three Of the largest ar
teries Of the middle east.
Only conditions of extreme severity
would justify such stoppage Of busi-
ness hauling in the east. But condi-
tions are severe to the point Of acute
danger to the health of the people and
the success of the war measures. No
time limit is mentioned, and none may
be indicated for the present. That the
embargo will be lifted as soon as the
food, fuel and munitions trains now
stalled are moved to destination and the
currents Of these supplies are kept in
motion is virtually assured.
Business cannot fail to be hard hit
by this embargo. But it must adjust
to it. Business houses with short sup
plies of goods must put limit upon
purchases.
The hope is that the embargo will not
be continued for many days. IF the
weather moderates and tho demand for
coal slackens and the railroads are en-.
abied to move freight moro rapidly the
stUppage Of all commercial transport
may mot continue for moro xhan the 70
saaindsr Of this weet, though there d
- present ground for confidently esti-
mating the length Of time required ia
meet the demands Of the coal yards, the
chips, the food stocks ana the Army and
Navy.

disclosure.
The investisstioas ordered BY Con-
sfess did not have their root Ii politics.
Both democrats and. Tephblisans
thought them necessary, and voted &C.
cordingly. They grew ont Of some
things known, and other things fairly
infefable from Whist was known. Gossip
was busy, and needed to be checked.
There was danger in permitting it to
run riot; and the only effective way to
check it was by official inquiry.
Results have justified the inquisitions.
Mistakes have been exposed. Some
grave delinquencies have been brought
to light. Confessions Of Importance
have been made. Congress and the
country are much wiser today than when
Congress assembled; and the wisdom
has much practical value. By the aid
of it substantial reforms can be made.
Some have been ordered, and the fruits
should shortly snow.
No partisanship has appeared in the
conduct Of the inquisitions. The doors
have seldom been closed on the public.
In the main, the proceedings have been
open, and the reports for the press made
reasonably full and informing. Inter
rogators have shown no desire for other
than legitimate information, and wit
nesses no desire to withhold informa-
tion so sought.
The past may be accepted as guar
antee of the future. There should not
and need not be any partisanship at any
stage of the game. What is wanted is
the truth for non-partisan purposes.
Where things are right they should be
kept right, and the pace quickened.
Where things are wrong they should be
set right.
The partisanship that has just ap-
peared in the Senate debates and may
appear in the House debates is not in
the spirit of searching for and reform
ing abuses. 1t is deplored by the lead
ers of both parties. 1t is not calculated
for speeding-up purposes. But the fact.
is so very plain it may defeat the object
of its authors. The country is alive to
the necessity of correcting the mistakes
made and preventing others, and will
frown upon diversions which can have
no good effect.
It is to be assumed that the inquisi-
tions will not be unduly protracted, but
will be brought to close in time for
reports in the interests Of legislation
now on the eve Of taking first shape.

Keep Washington Warm.

Supplying the people Of Washington
with coal should be viewed by the gov
ernment as paramount necessity. The
householders Of this city are at this
time giving shelter to thousands Of
workers in the executive departments
who have come to Washington within
the past few months. It matters not
whether there are rooms enough for all
who come or what the prices may be
that are charged, nor the aceommoda-
tions that are given. These houses
where the public office clerks are living
must be kept warm or the government
work itself viii suffer. Washington,
therefore, has special claims for con-
sidefation in the matter Of coal supply,
and it is incumbent upon the federal
fuel administration to see that the re-
quired amount Of 24O0 tons dai1y il
forthcoming. This Is 8 consideration
that should appeal strongly to the fed
erai authorities.
" AOuScAOIuSTS are 1LpOI-
tuned to take the newceming clerks into
their homes, but many of them hesitate
about doing so in view Of the difficulty
Of obtaining fuel. If there were assur-
ance that coal could be secured at rea-
sonable prices throughout the remainder
Of the winter there are many people
here who would be glad to invite clerks
to board with them, but they are now
afraid to risk such an invitation.
Fuel Administrator Weaver has urged
the federal fuel administration to main-
tain the 2,400-ton rate Of local delivery,
which has lately been falling short. It
is urgently necessary that this rate be
kept up or the capital will suffer Sc
verely. The haul to Washington from
the hard coal district is not long, and
with the clearance Of the tracks that
has been recently effected this supply,
which is really minimum. should be
maintained. Complaints Of absolutely
empty bins and the lack Of any fuel
whatever have been voiced frequently
in the past few days. The city cannot
go on in the present condition long with
ont reaching the point Of acute distress.

The war revenue measure passed at
the special session points the moral and

tien was put through the House under
whip and spur, through the Senate un-
der disadvantages growing out of the
Houses haste, and through conference
under the influence of much i'll feeling.
The result was a measure SO i'll di-

yet little progress has been made BY
anybody. Rich man, poor man and beg
gar man-aH in some measure are af-,

as confused on the subject as when they

the people of the country are in state
Of unrest and anxiety. Their situation
is difficult, and their obligations are
heavy. All new laws, therefore, should
be SO clearly drawn that neither busi-

necessary to interpret them to the every

Corporal Ralph Offences, of the

He got gold medal one day as a
member of team of six shooting on

His ship did much convoy duty,
