cisms or suggestions are offered there
will be an intention to forward the coul.-
try's welfare.
There is assurance also in the ikeli-
hood that neither criticisms NOR replies
will wear q party tag. We shah see
democrats replying to democrats, and
republicans to republicans.
The present war is something new in
the war line. As a result, everybody,
whether legislator, soldier or sailor,
scheduled for action is at close atten-
ton. He must be. In order to do his
bit successfully he must study the chart
must be able to find his way.
The governments order is large. Put
ting a country Of the size and resources
of America into armed motion requires
thorough survey of many things. Man
power on the firing lines must be sup
ported by man power behind the lines ;
and both the soldiers and their civilian
supports must be well selected and kept
st for their work.
American business is on a very large
scale, and Of great variety. Co-ordinat-
ing it for war purposes is not only a
new, but an enormous task. And yet, in
some fashion, the task must be per-
formed.
Where there is so much for legislators
to talk about much talk may be expect
ed; and where there is much talk, some
of it is bound to be of a vigorous and
snappy character.

Skip-Stops and Traffic.

If the skip-stop system is adopted in
Washington as an expedient to speed
the cars, as recommended by the traffic
experts now considering the situation
for the Public Utilities Commission, care
should be taken to make absolutely plain
the places at which stops will be made.
to avoid confusion. Standards marking
the places where cars will stop should,
if possible, be placed at street corners.
Those who regularly use the lines morn
ing and evening will, Of course, quickly
ascertain these locations, but strangers
are continually coming to the city, and
they should be kept informed. These
standards, especially on the thorough
fare streets, will be Of value also in
marking protection zones for persons
| waiting for the cars, as is now the case
at certain frequented intersections.
| The skip-stop principle is designed to
permit a more rapid movement of the
| ears by cutting down the number of
halts. 1t will aid in the solution of the
transportation problem, however, only
| If it results in a quicker headway or a
| more frequent service; that is, if the
cars making the round trip in better
time can be sent out again Immediately
in season to carry passengers during the
rush hours. Thus if forty cars on the
same line can move more speedily under
the skip-stop system five Of them may
be put through in season to be added to
the service of the time of greatest travel.
Otherwise, the only gain from this
method is in the more rapid carrying of
those who are fortunate enough to get
on the cars that are run.
Undoubtedly there will be gain in
the skip-stop system in the amount Of
coal consumed for power. It takes more
current to start a standing car than to
keep it in operation, and by reducing
the number Of stops BY 20 Or 80 pei

The Presidents Approval.

President Wilson's explicit indorse-
ment of Fuel Administrator Garfeld's
| order for fourteen workless days as a
! measure of coal economy and freight
movement should have wholesome eff
feet in allaying feeling that this meas
ure was not carefully considered before
| adoption. There has been at no time
any question Of the full approval Of
the remedy by the executive. No mem
Der of the administration would, how
| ever fully empowered by law, venture
| to apply such drastic means Of correc-
tion without executive sanction.
1t has been urged that more warning
should have been given of the purpose
to put an embargo upon production for
five days at stretch and for nine sub
sequent Mondays in order that industry
might adjust itself. Unfortunately this
adjustment would probably have taken
the form of the accumulation of sup
plies and a speeding up of production
in anticipation of the embargo, which
would have defeated the very purpose
Of the order. Surprise was perhaps es-
sential to the success of the plan, how
ever it might work hardship upon bust
ness men and workers.
Possibly the preliminary and imme-
diately accompanying statements in ex-
nd nf
more explicit and informative as to
conditions. This,a Though it might have
softened public criticism and given the
country better understanding of the
need, could not have lessened the un-
happy effects of the embargo. As it is,
the situation has been explained in sea-
son to cause the order to be accepted
generally in spirit of patriotic resig-
nation and sacrifice. Instances of vio-
lation are so rare that they may be at
triLuted to misunderstanding rather
than disposition to ignore or defy the
authority of the fuel administrator. The
country has already in large part ad-
justed itself to this necessity as q war
measure, and the five days will have
passed quickly and probably with less
distress than is anticipated. The hope
and prayer of the country is that the
order will have the effect desired, break
ing the blockade of freight. moving the
coal and starting the ships now await
ing fuel.

The Pay Roll and the Coal Order.

One of the local theater men has
promptly announced that he will not
only close his place of entertainment
all day on the coalless Mondays pre-
scribed by the fuel administration with.
out any question or attempt to compro-
mise, but that he will pay all of his em,
ployes, including his talent" full sal
| aries. Doubtless there are many other
employers who will do the same. This
| should be, in fact, the general rule
| among those who are in lines of busi-
ness affected by the coal order. There
is, of course, no obligation upon them
to do so. 1t is not required by the gov
ernment; it could not be required, un-
der the present laws. But it is the hope
and desire of the administration that
employers generally throughout the
country will provide for their workers,
although they themselves must lose
from ten to fourteen days of business
during the next few weeks.
In most lines of business there will be
in fact little net loss of trade through
the closing of all the establishments
simultaneously. The people will need
the same amount of goods in the course
Of the week. If one or two of the stores
only were closed those remaining open
would reap the benefit. With all closed
the effect is to concentrate in the re-
naming five days very nearly all Of the
trade that is usually distributed over
six. This is true in the case of holidays,
and with the coalless Mondays regarded
as holidays the effect will be about the
same. Manufacturing plants are less
fortunate. The only way that they can
recoup is to work overtime, if each mill
is now run to capacity in the ordinary
operating period.
As far as retail trade is concerned the
order comes at the most propitious time
Save perhaps in midsummer the stores
are now in best condition of the year
to accommodate in five days trade usual
ly spread over six. In these circum-
stances the maintenance Of the pay rolls
unchanged, or at least on a partial basis
for the workless Mondays, becomes a
practical measure of patriotic contribu-
tien to the public welfare.

The Session and Debate.

The session opens promisingly for de-
bate. In both House and Senate inter
esting encounters will take place as time
passes. In both chambers warm times
are likely to precede warm weather
This inheres in the situation, and is not
unweicome. Much instruction for the
public and better legislation should
come of it. Where everybody is truly
alive and eager for action Uncle Sam
benefits.
At the special session war was de-
elared, taxes levied and loans authorized
There was smaH room for controversy
Both parties were in agreement as to
general propositions. Democrats and re-
publicans found it easy to stand to-
Sether in support Of launching the pol.
ley indorsed by both; and the policy was
launched.
Questions are arising now as to the
varying out of that policy. 1t is natu.
nal that they should, and that as they
arise they should be discussed.
: Discussion, however, need not take the
form Of obstruction, or Of encouraging
obstru1tion. A plain purpose to queer

adopted throughout the District, with all
fire stops eliminated, the coal saving will
be between nine and ten thousand tons
annually. Elimination Of the fire stops
should be most carefully considered,
however, in view Of the numerous acci-
dents that occurred during the time
when street cars ran unchecked past
corners frequently used by fire ap-
paratus.

Americanixation Always Timely.

Senator Chamberlain is a conspicuous
Agure in absorbing and vitally important
natienal labors toward winning this wal
and by universal military training and
other preparedness toward preventing
future war. In the stress and strain OF
this exacting patriotic work, Senator
Chamberlain has found time to speak
to Washington through the Board of
Trade concerning the Americanization
Of the capital by representation in Con-
gress and the electoral college. His
speech was both inspiring and full of
practical suggestions.
Senator Chamberlain thus drives home
the truth to both Washingtonian and ma
t7enal legislator that it is opportune and
N accordance with the spirit of the
time to give consideration even in the
agony Of war to the ARericanization of
the pespae ef the capital.
'Nsttsaal service and national safety
6rxt" il the rule for all of US. Winning
the war is today's primary duty and
task. Nothing must be permitted to in
terfere with it.
But it is not inconsistent with en-
thusiastic prosecution Of war fought
