Influenza and Bonds.

The prohibition Of indoor and out
door meetings strikes hard at the work
of raising the District quota of the
fourth liberty loan, but the citizens
must "carry on" and face their OBJ
legation. The people of the District
will meet the test. They have never
yet fallen down on a patriotic obliga-
ton, and they are not going to STUN
Bile now. The public gathering is a
great aid in putting through a public
measure and especially a measure
which calls for raising money. Many
men need the inspiration of the crowd
to bring out the best that is in them.
There are types of men who require
rousing by fcrvent words of appeal;
there are also others who subscribe
money with greater freedom when they
have spectators. But all these folk are
going to do their duty just the same
as those of our people who do not need
the blare of brass band and blasts
of high seasoned oratory to touch the
pocket nerve.
It seems that this loan has got to
be put over without the enthusiasm and
the magnetism of the crowd. The pres
sure of public opinion and private con-
science must compel all of US to lend
to the utmost. 1t will not do to hold
back or to lend the government $50
when one can afford to lend $500. 1t
is only q man of small spirit who does
not want to play the biggest part he
can in this war. Never before was so
much money being distributed in the
District. Never Before was the plain
man who is able and willing to work
able to make as much money. He
ought to put a very large part Of his
earnings into the war loan issue. 1t
is the best way of saving money. The
man who saves in that way not only
gives his service to the national cause,
but he promotes his private interest at
the same time. A 500 bond bought is
a $l0O saved and earns the man who
saves it $4.25 profit every year.

Campaign Jockeying.

JockeyIng for campaign advantage is
showing everywhere. 1t is not illegiti-
mate, but inheres in politics. The word
comes from the turf, and describes
maneuverings at the pole, and even
after the start has been effected, in q
horse race.
But. to be effective, joekeyirg must
lie well calculated. If carried too far
il defeats itself. 1t is important that
Il nag should be sent away in good po-
sition, though not necessarily in front,
and handled with spirit all around the
circle. But jockeying which produces
fretfulness, at any stage Of the pro-
ceedings. may cost the contest.
We speak of political parties as in a
race. They contend for prize, OF
prizes. A good start is highly desi1-
able, as is good handling all the way
to the finish. But mere "fne work, y
which produces bad feeling ani side
controversies, carries no assurance Of

logical thought, dictated by the most

elaboration of argument is necessary to
support the assertion that they ought
not to be brought in.

Washington and Public Opinion.
Read this

washington is not a rotunda Of
public opinion. 1t is a poor place, in
deed. for anybody to find out and know
anything touching public opinion in
the country at large"
No stranger or more mistaken no.
ton was ever entertained. And yet
it is entertained by many persons,
some of them very distinguished in
public affairs. Ordinarily, however, it
harbors in men very little acquainted
with the town, and with no experience
whatever in utilizing the advantages
inhering in life in the capital in the
matter of gathering and appraising
public opinion throughout the coun-
try. They simply voice prejudice, or
repeat a charge they have not investi-
gated.
But the deliverance just quoted is
that of an eminent man who was born
and reared in Washington, and, under
highly favorable circumstances, took
his first lessons here as an observer
and chronicler Of public affairs. And
he learned his trade so thoroughly, and
grasped a national view SO firmly, he
rose to distinction when he transferred
his talents to another field, and is
justly classed today among the high
est lights in American journalism.
Could it be said safely and truly that
his gifts would have flowered as they
did nourished elsewheref That they
would have achieved wide notice and
usefulness nourished anywhere is an

easy belief. They ara OF q hardy and
durable kind, and are still in flower.
But they had their first nourishment
in Washington soil, and have shown it
at every stage of their development
and exercise. What their possessor
learned well in his early days has stood
him valuably in hand in all his days
since, and accounts in measure for
his success in helping to shape and to
assess public sentiment about large
matters on a large scale.
Mr.. Watterson, in the opinion here
reproduced, is in the wrong company.
He knows this town too we'll, and has
proved its advantages as a watch-tower
too successfully, to think or write in
its dispraise except in moment of
thoughtless impatience. Why, some of
his best and most effective work bear
ing upon public questions and public
opinion has borne the Washington date
line-work done during visits to
Washington, where he has always been,
and still is, most welcome.

Influenza and Congestion Relief.

The government is ransacking the
homes of Washington for unoeeupied
rooms available for use by incoming
war workers. This is sensible move
If the government will also ransaek

essential war work, who can. however,
render good service in routine depart

of civilian war workers with homes
may be utilized. reducing correspond
ingly the number of homeless war
workers which must be imported and
housed.
If the government will ranSack the
new bureaus of the government with
the same diligence as the Washington
homes to ascertain with exactness the
relation of labor supply and labor de
mand therein, it will also act wisely. It
will learn how many civilian war work
ers must to meet the vital national
needs be imported Immediately. though
Washington to its regret is compelled
to tender them not homes, but in
fluenza germs. The government will
also learn whether there is truth in
the reports that there are already in
some of the bureaus workers for whom
there is no work.
The government is now rushing to
completion dormitories to house thou
sands of its incoming army of civilian
war workers. In view of influenza
conditions, will not the government
wisely postpone the coming here of
this civilian army until these housing
structures have been built' The gov
ernment would not move soldiers to
an overcrowded training camp until
the barracks necessary for their hous-
ilg had been erected.
