ments, therefore, is increasing in this
country. The people want to believe
that everything is being done prompt
ly for the soldiers on the firing lines;
that everybody in authority is at his
post, and on the alert.
1t is strange that Congress did not
take this view Of the matter. Some Of
the members did, and spoke and work
ed against the recess. It was their
opinion that Congress should stay con
the job" as the President has decided
to do. But they were outvoted. Many
senators and representatives wanted an
opportunity to go home and examine
and mend their "fences." and they
made the opportunity.
While there is no reason to believe
that the Presidents decision was in
tiuenced in the least by politics, that
he even gave politics thought, he will
yet get credit for it with all classes,
and strengthen his hold by it on pub
lie opinion. And, later, when his in
dorsement of this candidate and that
for Office has been solicited and OBJ
tanned, as it will be, it will possess the
greater value because of this recogni-
ton of responsibility by him at time

The President will remain con the
job" The announcement was expect
ed. No holiday for him. There is too
great necessity for his presence in
Washington. True, at some mountain
or waterside resort he would be in
close touch by both wire and mail with
the general situation, but right at base
il better than being close to base in

directing more things than any Of his

This Is the right decision. Wash

Revenue and Election Day.

Will the new war revenue measure
become a law before the November
electionsf That depends. Mr.. Kitehin's
announcement in the House Monday
was not definite on that point. He
said that "after important business
had been disposed of in August and
September, a further holiday until
after the elections would be possible"
The three-day adjournment program
extends until late in August, wheh
Congress will begin to do business
again. About September l the revenue
measure will be reported to the House,
and debate on it will probably begin at
once. After the House has passed the
measure it will 60 to the Senate and
be referred by that body to the finance
committee. The committee will ex-
anime and pass upon it, and then re-
port it back with such changes as may
have seemed necessary, and, If the way
is open, the Senate will begin debate
Immediately.

tober, so that senator's and representa-.
tives may return home and personally

AS The Star said the other day, If

ness interests Of the country, and open
to no aggressive criticism on the score

if any, excuse for protracted debate

But whether the measure becomes a
law or not before election day, the
voters, as The Star also said recently,
will take it into account when they
cast their ballots. They will know its
tenor, and can approve or disapprove,
N passing upon the political complex
ion Of the next Congress. Not the
amount of the assessments-which, in
any event. is certain to be largc-but

Railroad Signals and Stops.

Inquiry has developed that the au-
tomato block signal system on the
Baltimore and Ohio line failed to work.
at the Linden switch yesterday morn
ing, with the consequence that the col
lision occurred, in which ono man was
killed. This goes to emphasize the ar
gument for the installation Of the au-
tomato cutoff system. Against such
methods Of stopping trains before they
can enter danger zones it has usually
been urged that they are likely to be-
come deranged and that the block sys-
tenn is more reliable. Here is block
system failing. The chances of failure
are no greater in one than in the
other. There is, however, the great
advantage in the compulsory stop sys-
tenn that it prevents the human error
of the engineers judgment. A COLI
sion is rendered automatically impos-
sible if the cutoff circuit works. In
asmuch as there is percentage of pos,
sible failure in the system which COM
bines the automatic and the human
elements, why not adopt system
which depends solely upon mechanical
means and renders the entrance Of
train into an already occupied block
physically impossible as long as the
circuit is workingi Many lives have
been sacrificed to the obstinacy of the
railroad authorities in their opposition
to a method Of collision prevention
which is commended by reason, and
which, in the face Of determined OBJ
stacles, has been developed to q high
pitch Of perfection in one form or an
other.

Burian's Bid.

Baron Burian, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, has made statement
on the peace situation on the eve Of
the reichsrath meeting which clearly
represents, as far as it can be judged,
the present position of the dual mon
archy. 1t is in effect peace bid, but
couched in terms that cannot by any
possibility be accepted. 1t is an in
vitation to the allies to enter negotia-
tions. Inasmuch as the allies are not
going to take the initiative in peace
moves, Baron Burian's contribution to
the peace cause is Of little practical
value, though interesting and possibly
significant of an intense desire in the
dual monarchy for an early solution.
Perhaps the most interesting phase
of, the Burian statement is the COM
ment that the entente powers were in
vited to join the peace negotiations
with Russia, and that having declined
they have no right to criticise the terms
that were made with the demoralized
Russian people. Had they Joined the
peace negotiations at NBrest-Litovsk,
Baron Burian indicates. they might
have "coptributed their share in bring
ing them to q different conclusion"
This rich bit Of Austrian humor adds
to the piquancy Of the foreign min
ister's statement, but does not render
it in any degree more valuable.
1t is difficult to see upon what basis
the entente powers could possibly move
for peace in accordance with the Bu-
rian formula. He says: off our enc
mics continuously demand atonement
for wrong done and restitution, then
this is a claim which we could urge
with more justification against them,
because We have been attacked and the
wrong done to US must be redressed."
Baron Burian in another passage Of
his statement says: "Our opponents
demand our atonement because we
dared to defend ourselves, and success
fully, against their attacks"
It is probably necessary for the Teu-
tonic statesmen to continue the pose Of
defense against attack throughout all
the preliminaries of real peace pro-
posals. Even i'll the light of the plain
record, which all the world now knows,
Austria must maintain the pretense Of
having defended herself against as
sault, though it was her note to Serbia
demanding impossible humiliations and
guarantees and penalties for the crime
at Serajevo that precipitated this war.
1t is idle now to discuss the question of
who started the fight. The world
knows. But Baron Burian ought to
see that if he throws upon the en-
tente powers tho onus Of the wars be-
ginning and expects them to formulate
peace terms which grant that assump-
ton, he is looking for the impossible.

To Cattle Owners.

State and federal authorities all
urge the dipping Of cattle in the tick
eradication movement. Terrell coun-
ty, at the request of many citizens,
and upon recommendation of the
grand jury, has gone to considerable
expense to put on dipping. This
movement is for the good of the en-
tire county, and those who fail to
dip regularly seriously hinder the
movement and violate the law. If all
dip as required this county will be de-
clared tick free this year. If not the
time will be extended at great ad-
ditional expense, and for this reason
we urge all cattle owners to dip reg
ularly. The authorities do not wish
to prosecute violators of the law if it
can be avoided, and take this means
of urging all to dip. j. C. HOL-
