The Chicago Bomb.

Immediate suspicion attaches to the
I. w. W. as responsible for the bomb
! outrage at Chicago yesterday, as re-
| suit of which four lost their lives and
over seventy-five others were injured.
The explosion took place within the
entrance of the federal building, which
houses the court i'll which occurred the
trial Of the 100 members of that Or
ganization recently convicted of dis
loyal activity. No other motive is con
ceivable than one Of revenge upon the
court. Yet the act itself was clumsy
failure. The bomb was placed at the
entrance Of the building, where 1t could
not possibly injure officers Of the court.
It may have been left there by chance
or in the hurry of evading detection.
1t is significant that Haywood, the So
called "uncrowned king" Of the I. w.
W., who was i'll the building at the
time in consultation with his attorney,
Immediately declared that he knew the
1. w. w. would be blamed for the out
rage, but he was convinced that no
man Of his organization was in any
way connected with the matter, and
he added significantly: ut would be
insane for an I. w. w. to commit such
an act at this time" Why particular
! ly "at this time"9

at the polls. There would be no votes
for either candidates or parties in
lodging.
There is rough going ahead for the
measure. It il threatened in the House,
| and certain in the Senate. Mr.. Smoot,
who has taken the place Of the late
Mr.. Aldrieh as his party's leader in the
Senate on questions Of tariff and tax-
| alton, pronounces the measure "a bun
glsd mess Of absurdities," and he is
preparing to so assail it when the
House sends it over. How much time
he will devote to the "mess," and how
many votes he will be able to muster
in his effort to change it, must be left
to the future.
There must be, and will be, bill
passed, and it will carry the huge
amount demanded by the emergency.
But there is ground for legitimate de-
fbate about how best to find the money;
and when the debate begins it should
be allowed to cover every phase of the
case in an effort to give the country
the best measure possible.

The Third Test.

In the Mississippi senatorial contest
the President won. His pronounce
ment against Mr.. Vardaman cut an i'm
portant figure in the campaign. Mr.
Harrison benefited largely. He might
have succeeded without it, but with it
he rolled up large majority.
In the South Carolina contest also
the President won. 1t is difficult to
believe that in any circumstances for
mer Gov. Blease could have been noni.
mated for senator. He is so much out
Of date as an agitator, his selection for
so high an Office would have been a
reflection on the commonwealth. But
the Presidents procurement against
him settled the matter for fair. From
that day Mr.. Blease never had look
in. He was most soundly beatens
In few days the Presidents power
in this way will be tested again. In
the Georgia primary Senator Hard
wick, seeking reelection, is running
under the weight of the Presidents
displeasure. The President has rec
commended another man.
Mr.. Hardwiek has a longer official
record than Mr.. Vardaman, and is in
no particular of the Blease type of
man. His career in the House was
very ereditable-so much so it served
as the foundation for his promotion
to the Senate. He is a good speaker,
and has made good legislator.
It is altogether likely that but for
Mr.. Hardwick's record on war ques-
tons there would have been no op-
position to his reelection. His de-
mocracy is unquestioned. His per-
sonal popularity is considerable. But
his war record displeased many of his
constituents, as also the President.
Hence the fight on him, led practically
by the President.
The Presidents right to interfere,
or rather the propriety of the step he
has taken, is being challenged more
vigorously in Georgia than it was in
either Mississippi or South Carolina
This, in part, grows out of the fact
that in the Georgia case he did not,
as in the other cases, content himself
with registering a protest, but put for
ward a candidate Of his own. He
named the man he wanted nominated.
Mr.. Hardwick is a fighter, and is
fighting. So are his opponents-he
has several-and the result is awaited
in Georgia and elsewhere with much
interest. Upon the whole, it has been
the liveliest primary of languid sea-
son.

The Rent Bill.

An effective, equitable law to pre-
vent rent profteering should have been
enacted by Congress several months
ago, and doubtless would have been
but for the obstinacy of the opposi-
ton to the Senate's substitute for the
measure adopted by the House mani
Tested by the chairman of the House
District committee. Through his criti-
cisms of the Senate members he made
it impossible for conferences to be
held upon the matter in dispute, and so
caused deadlock seemingly without
end. Meanwhile the rents situation in
the District has been growing more
difficult, with injustice to householders
and tenants and to landlords as we'll.
An emergency measure was adopted to
cover . particular phase of the case,
putting an end to the unfair demand
to "buy or quit" to which tenants
were subjected last winter. But the
Salisbury law, effective as it is to that
effect, does not stand as a sufficient
and satisfactory anti-profteering safe
guard.
Yesterday the Senate, hopeless Of
securing action through the channel
of conference on the Johnson Pome-
rene bill, adopted the Senate rent
measure as an amendment to the agri-
cultural bill When that measure has
passed the Senate it will go to confer
ence differing in personnel from that
which has been prevented from action
by the attitude adopted by the chair
man of the House committee, and there
is prospect of legislation in the near
future, inasmuch as the bill now carry
ing the Pomerene amendment is as
sured of final enactment.
The bill which yesterday was thus
put in the way of adoption is in its
general terms fair, efficient meas
ure to regulate rents in the District,
to prevent e1tortions and unfair evic-
tions and to safeguard at the same
time the interests Of tenant and land
lord. Had it been enacted into law
six months ago it would have greatly
aided the government in the housing
of war workers.
The extraordinary course Of the SEN
ate yesterday in putting into the form
of an amendment on totally unre-
lated measure a bill that had been pre-
vfously sent to conference in the regu
lar course is justified only by the ur-
gency Of the need Of legislation upon
this subject. 1t is an irregular proce-
dure, but it cannot be criticised on the
score of its unusualness, for the block
ade due to the refusal Of the Senate to
sit in conference with one who had so
wantonly accused the Senate member
ship was in itself without precedent.

The extreme of reckless motoring is
reached in the case Of the man who
so handled his motor truck the other
day as to strike two women standing
on one of the car-loading platforms in
this city. If there is any place in the
street that is supposed to be secure
it is such point. Yet this accident
shows that drivers do not respect the
platforms. It is to be hoped that this
will be the last case Of such dangerous

The Clock and the Elections.

In all Difference it may be said there
are two things Congress should Danish
from its mind in dealing with the war
revenue tmeasure-the clock, and the
November elections. Neither is, or
should be made, q. factor in the equa-
ton.
Let all the time necessary for the
proper consideration Of the business in
hand be taken. The measure breaks
the record for size. It explores some
new and very difficult fields. The dis
turbance Of business caused by the
war is increased by the heavy assess
ments required for fighting the war.
Hurry, therefore. will produce worry;
haste, waste. Tho country wants
neither. Neither should be inflicted
There is already worry enough, and
waste inheres in such turbulence as is
now raging.
Tho elections ana political, and the
revenue measure is not. Taxes are be.
ing laid for the support Of the war,
and politics has no part or lot in the
war. Let senators and representatives
make their record on the measure
without regard to votes for them
selves. If the measure can be enacted
into law before election day, we'll and
good. If not, let November be added
to September and October for debate

Backing for Cover.

Withdrawal from their positions
along the Vesle toward the Aisne
shows that the Germans in that Sec
ton are seeking protection from the
allied advance eastward in Picardy.
It is evident that the German high
: command has now no confidence in its
strategic situation. With the British
pressing forward south Of Ypres and
closing the salient driven into their
lines in April with them far across
the Wotan line east Of Arras and
menacing Cambria, with the French
pushing steadily out from the Canal
du Nofd in the direction of La Fere,
the whole German position from Ypres
to Rheims is menaced. The linden
burg line is no longer defense. 1t
has been crossed and virtually fanked
east of Arras and further progress
north of Peronne is calculated to roll
It up in a manner to compel . further
end material retirement.
The German holding north of the
Wesle has never been regarded as more
than a temporary position, owing to
the menace Of the Aisne at the rear.
Only the possession Of the forest bas-
ton northeast Of Coucy lie Chateau
has made it possible to retain this line
80 long since the withdrawal from the
Scissors Marine salient. But that bas-
ton is now threatened from both the
south and the west and too tenacious a
holding of the Aisne- Vesle position is
calculated to lead to disaster. By their
advance considerably to tho east Of
