democrats There are but two parties
in the Senate-will be but two in the
next Senate. Members align them
selves as democrats or republicans.
Some interesting speculation at
taches here. Will these men, con-
demned by the President, but indorsed
at home, be eligible to admission to
the democratic caucusf They will, of
course, present themselves. They will
have nowhere else to 60. They would
not think of goine-over to the repub-
icans.
A third party, composed Of three
members-an Independent democratic
party, let US say-would not be i'm
pressive or influential in Senate af-
fairs except in case Of q very narrow
margin as between the two old par
ties. In that event it might trade to
advantage, throwing its support to one
or the other as its own interests might
suggest.
But the primaries arc yet to take
place, and until then the bridges de-
scribed will not have to be crossed.

The Kaiser's Tears for Frankfort

an instance, tho latest manifestation Of
German logic. The kaiser sends tele-
gram Of sympathy to tho people Of
Frankfort, on account of the recent
bombardment Of that city by allied
airmen. The attack, he says, is Acon-
trary to the international law" Of
course, it is. It has always been con-

The Revenue Measure.

Senator Simmons declaration re-
specting the time necessary to pass
the revenue measure is worthy of, and
will receive, full attention. he speaks
by the card, so to say he knows the
subject. As chairman Of the Senate
finance committee he has presided over
the revision Of two House revenue
measuresHthe Underwood tariff meas
ure and last years war revenue meas
ure. Both Of those measures rs
passed by the House were very un-
satisfactory to the Senate and to the
country; and the Senate finance COM
mittee, and, later, the full Senate, were
justified in consuming the time they
took in revising the Houses work.
The Senate will revise the Houses
work this year. The controversy be-
tween the Treasury Department and
the ways and means committee, which
both Secretary McAdoo and Chairman
Kitchin believe is adjustable rs be-
tween the department and the COM
mittce, will yet, however adjusted, af-
ford discussion in the open House,
and, later, in the finance committee
and the open Senate; and discussion
is certain to take place. How much,
and how long it viii last, and with
what final result, the future must de-
termine.
Though not intended as such, there
was cloture, pure and simple, as The
Star stated at the time, in Secretary
McAdoo's suggestion that the revenue
measure become Law before the open
ing Of the fourth liberty loan cam
paign, scheduled for the latter part Of
September. Cloture, straight and di-
rect, is repugnant to the Senate. When
made in definite form. it has always
been rejected. The modification Of
the rule of debate recently agreed to
Cell far short of cloture.
It cannot be too often repeated that
Congress should proceed with care in
the enactment at this time of a meas
ure which viii take from the pockets
Of the people an unprecedented amount
Of money. The money is necessary,
and the people viii pay the large as
sessments. But burdens are already
heavy; and all additions-and others

tion-should be fitted considerably to

gin as advertised. The congressional
campaigns are getting under way, and

need be interfered with nor lessened
in public interest by the presence in
Washington of Congress hard at work
on q measure which in one way or an
other will touch every citizen Of the
country.

More Car Service.

Practical results Of the skip-stop
system are to be felt on the Capital
Traction lines under the new routing
and schedules ordered by the utilities
commission, after exhaustive studies
by the traffic expert and the company
officials. The people who have been
disconnected by the new stops are to
be granted return in better service, if
the routes and schedules work out as
planned.
This relief is greatly needed. It is
needed even more urgently on the
other system, which has as yet not
been adjusted to the new stop system.
The Capital Traction lines, however,
are now serving region of greatly
increased war activity, and there is
urgent necessity Of better schedules to
enable the workers in those offices to
reach their places of employment
promptly in the morning and to re-
turn home with facility and comfort
in the afternoon.
Schedule readjustment will not be
accompanied by track congestion nee
essarily. The new routes and car in
tervals are figured out with reference
to the capacity Of the lines The pub
lie can aid in the movement Of the
cars by being prompt to enter and
leave them and by moving forward in
all cars to the most advanced position
possible, to make room for newcomers.
Much of the car delay today is due to
the habit Of passengers, lingering near
the point Of entrance. This makes in
gress difficult and checks of several
seconds from the running time at each
stop. Cooperation by the passengers,
for the good of all, which means for
the good Of each individual, will facili.
tate the operation Of the lines.

Three Senatorial Candidates..

The President has declared against
the senatorial candidates. Of Mr.. Var
daman, Mr.. Hardwick and Cole Blease.
All three men, however, are eontinu-
ing their primary campaigns. They
are appealing for votes as democrats,
and standing by the records the Presi-
dent has condemned.
Predictions as to results are meager.
Interest is not lacking, but in none
of the three states is it as yet intense.
Meetings are not largely attended.
There is no great enthusiasm any
where. All three candidates are prac-
ticed speakers, and are exercising their
powers on the stump.
These men must abide by the pri-
NARY decisions. If defeated they must
retire, and give support to the nomi-
nees.

Continuing the Pressure.

French troops striking northward
from the Ribecourt-Soissons line, be-
tween the Disc and the Aisne, have in
troduced new element in the latest
western offensive, menacing Noyon
and the entire German position in
Picardy. Their success thus far has
not been sensational, and it may be
that the effort is merely designed to
rectify the lines. Still, coupled with
the continued pressure upon Roye and
Iassigny, both of which have been ac-
tuaHy reached if not entered, it would
seem as though Gen. Foch were bent
upon forcing general retirement by
means Of this activity on the southern
sector.
While the battle in Picardy has been
slowed up considerably as regards ter
ritorial gains, there is no evidence Of
a return to position warfare. The
troops are moving in large bodies in
comparatively free zones against the
enemy in established positions. In
fact, the high development of the ma
chine gun as a weapon of defense has
in large degree rendered trench fight
ing of the style of 1914-17 unneces-
sary for the holding Of lines. The
machine gun nest" has virtually re-
placed the trench.
Foeh's policy is obviously to keep
the enemy harassed by continual pres
sure upon a weak point, to compel him
TO mass his reserves in defense and to
prevent him from massing them else
where for offense. He can maintain
such pressure without actually organ
izing for grand assault as on the west
ern side Of the Marne salient and east
of Amiens. To organize such an. as
sault means long preparation, the pro-
vision of tanks and the accumulation
of heavy guns and ammunition close
TO the front. That takes time. While
he is continuing his pressure on the
west and south Of the present Ger
man positions in Picardy he may be
assembling the forces for another drive
elsewhere, at some point that has been
weakened by the enemy's eoncentra-
tions for the defense Of the Albert
Noyon line.
German newspapers have been de-
claring that the recent retreats were
part of Ludendorff's plan Of securing
room for maneuvering for q grand Of
fensive. This, Of course, is absurd.
He was in far better position for an
assault when his forces were below the
Marine and within gun range of Amiens
than he is today. He has shortened
his lines, it is true, but so have the
allies. Where he has saved the spread
of one division the allies have saved
one also. Mile for mile, the allies are
i'm better position today than the Ger
mans. Such explanations may serve to
solace the German public, but they do
not comfort the high command OF the
men in the ranks.
