The G.. 4 o. Canal Bill.

Bills for the acquisition Of control by
the government over the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal having been introduced
in the House, there is probability Of early
action on this subject. Keen interest is
shown in the possibility Of using the
canal for hauling fuel to Washington
and the seaboard from the Cumberland
district. 1t is obvious that if a million
tons can be brought here next season
by water the already overburdened rail-
way lines will be relieved materially.
The government is now running the
railroads, and it is logical that it should
run other means Of transportation such
as this canal. With a very little ex-
pense for new boats this waterway could
be put in shape for large volume of
traffic. It would pay for its new equip
ment in a short time. 1t is proposed
now to add the canal bill to the ad-
ministration bill guaranteeing compen-
sation for the railroad companies under
railroad control, to insure prompt pas
sage. And as measure of emergency,
looking to a distinct relief Of the rail
transport system in handling one Of the
commodities of necessity, this measure
should be given the earliest possible
passage.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. They
are the result of DR.. Edwards deter.
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
o1ive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or caIo-
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is
best not to take calomeI, but to let
DR.. Edwards. Olive Tablets take its
place.
Most headaches, aduIlness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and disordered liver. Take Dr.. Ed
wards Olive Tablets when you feel
"loggy" and 'heavy." Note how they
clear" cIouded brain and how they
"pesk up" the spirits.

large majority, passed a. joint reso-
luton authorizing the bureau Of mines
to prepare plans and specifications for
the construction Of government-owned
coal yards in this city to supply the

practical measure that bears directly
upon the immediate situation. Coal has
been supplied to the government by pri-
vate firms fof years under contract. In
way the government and private con-
sumers have been in competition for
prices, with the government holding q
position Of advantage in its greater con-
sumption. During the present coal

The Prohibition Amendment,

Tuesday Mississippi ratified the pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitution.
Yesterday the amendment was submitted
for ratification to the legislature Of vir-
ginia. Both states are southern. Both
are dry. Both are, and have been for
many years, under democratic control.
Both contain large number Of colored
people.
Some Of the opponents Of prohibition
have rested their case in part ON the
charge that the policy as now urged is
soeketsd in the advisability Of abolish
ing tho drink traffic from the humber
walks Of life. It's harm there is con.
esded. It could not very well be denied.
There is abundant and incontrovertibls
evidence Of it.

The President and Suffrage.

1t may be true, as claimed by the
workers for the Anthony amendment.
that it had already secured the support
of the necessary two-thirds Of rhe House
when the President spoke in advocacy
Of its adoption, but his declaration
nevertheless is to be rated as determin-
ing the matter beyond doubt. His long
held position in favor Of action by the
states had not been abandoned, in any
public expression, during the period OF
discussion in Congress. It had been made
plain, however, that he was not actively
opposed to the federal amendment.
When he did speak, on the eve OF the
vote, his course could not fail to bring
into line many who wavered and were
rated as possibly adverse.
The Presidents declaration for the
amendment is gratifying, not merely in
that it presumably assures the adoption,
but for the effect it will undoubtedly
have for the ratification by the, states
Friends of suffrage are heartened by it.
The fact that he has heretofore favored
the enfranehisement Of women and now
believes that the grant Of the vote is at
this time "an act of right and justice
to the women Of the country and the
world" must strengthen the cause i'll
the campaign for state approval which
will begin as soon as both houses of
Congress have voted for submission. as
it is now confidently expected they will
vote.

Railroad Legislation.

Mr. Smith Of South Carolina, who
succeeds Mr.. Newlands as chairman of
the Senate interstate commerce commit
tee, is familiar with the questions COM
ing before that committee, and with the
committees record respecting such of
them as it has of late been called upon
to consider. He brings experience and
information to the place.
Mr.. Newlands, as was stated at the
time of his death, had specialized on
railroad transportation. As legislator
he knew the subject thoroughly, and
much was expected of him in the prep
aration of railroad legislation made nee
essary by the war. The President, who
had frequently conferred with him, put
high value upon his opinions and sug-
gestions.
1t is to be remembered, however, that
the Nevada senator had pursued his in
vestigations along the lines Of private
ownership and operation of railroads,
and had formed his opinions accordingly.
He was not, publicly at least, an advo-
cate of either government ownership or
government operation. It was our en-
trance into the war which gave the whole
subject new turn, and caused the Presi-
dent in the end to take the step of gov
ernment control.
But it is altogether likely that had
Mr.. Newlands lived he would have in
dorsed the course taken by the Presi-
dent, and carried through in the Senate
the necessary measures growing out
Of it.
+, What Mr.. Newlands would have con-
fronted, therefore, Mr.. Smith will con-
front; and as compared with his prede-
cessor he will be at NO disadvantage as
regards the present aspect of the rail
road question. New to Mr.. Newlands,
it is new to him. He must study it, as
his predecessor would have been obliged
to do. in the light Of the present re-
quirements Of the government.
There is no political side to the ques-
tion. It grows out Of the war, and re-
lates solely to the war. In country
the size of this. transportation, at all
times important, takes on greatly in.
creased importance when war activities
enter into the equation. Winning the
war is the leading, for the time the only,
consideration in connection with the
railroad properties.
Mr.. Smith is democrat, as Mr.. New
lands was He is a party man in party
matters. He has supported the Presi-
dent in matters Of domestic concern.
His new place brings him prominently
into the picture. He wiH presently have
an exceptional opportunity for service;
for when the railroad measure comes on
to be heard in the Senate very inter
ssting debate is certain to take place.

Next Seasons Coal.

Fuel Administrator Weaver in his
abatement before the Senate committee
yesterday outlined plan for the sup
ply Of fuel to the people Of Washington
next season that will call for careful
survey Of the city for perfect working.
Coal is to be distributed by cards, issued
not to individuals, but to houses. Each
house in the District is to be listed, with
the number of rooms and occupants
noted, so that the amount Of fuel nee
essary to keep it warm may be aseer-
tained and allotted. But a hard and
fast rule Of so much coal for each room
occupant unit will not be a safe one for
general application. Some houses are
colder than others. Some are exposed
to winds, while others are sheltered.
Some are of tighter construction and
therefore are more easily warmed.
6ome are SO arranged that they can be
heated with little coal, as compared with
others in which the heat is dispersed
and in some degree wasted.
It may be safely assumed that no
householder will knowingly waste coal,
and therefore money, by buying and
burning more than is necessary to keep
his home comfortable. Very few ever
have coal left in their bins when the
spring weather permits the e1tinguish-
ment Of the furnaces. So it may safely
be assumed that the householder is the
best judge Of his own requirements, and
he may be left to buy his coal without
regulation, unless there is a shortage.
It is premature to establish restric-
tions now upon the amount Of coal a
man may obtain for next seasons use.
It is not premature, however, to consider
means Of regulating the distribution so
that there will not be surplus here and
. shortage there. If any form Of card
system is to be adopted it is unques-
tionably desirable to secure in advance
all the information necessary for an
equitable supply Of all the people.
