The alternative would be financial in

The object to be attained in this saw

in the way Of any national plan for the
saving Of food and the products Of
labor and industry should realize the
sinister significance Of his action. The
family which heedlessly disreeards

That Slow lliadle-Door Car.

Expressions Of approval of the middle
entrance ear in use on some Of the lines
Of the Washington Railway and Eiec-
tric Company, which have appeared in
The Star, miss the point of the main OBJ
lection to that type of vehicle. It is
not that these cars are particularly un-
comfortable for those who can find seats.
Their ventilation, it is true, leaves some
thing to be desired, but In the main
for those who can be seated and, when
not more than seventy people are car
ried, for those who are standing they
are reasonably agreeable to ride in.
They lack gripping facilities, to be sure,
and there are in each car at least three
points where it is absolutely unsafe to
stand, owing to the absence of straps
and "handholds," especially when the
aisles are cohgested. Il Is not on the
score Of the eomfeftableness of the cars
that objection is raised to them. The
main point Of present consideration is
that they are slow. They drag" the
road. It is self-evident that a ear that
fills and empties through the same open-

that SEPARATES the incoming and out.

POLITICS At HOME
The Illinois senatorship.

Il
Representative Mccormick Of Chi.
cago announces for the seat in the Sen.
ate now occupied by James Hamilton
Lewis. There are likely to be other
republican aspirants. The senatorial
feature Of this years Illinois campaign
is certain to be very interesting one.
Mr.. Lewis will doubtless be the dem.
oeratic candidate and will make a
vigorous fight to retain the senatorship
A seat in the Senate from Illinois has
always been highly priced. Mr.. Lin
coin, It will be remembered, sought mem
sership. It was probably lucky for him
that he failed, for had he succeeded he
might not have occupied two years later
the advantageous position he did toward
the republican nomination for Presi-
dent.
Judge Douglas, who won in that race,
was one of the most eminent and in
auential democratic senators Of his day,
and maybe of any day. "The Little
Giant" had many admirers and follow
ers, and had he been able to hold his
party together might have succeeded
Mr.. Buchanan in the White House. But
slavery had made that impossible. The
time had come for a division on that
issue, and the democracy divided. Mr..
Lincoln marched through the breach to
tho goal.
After the civil war John A. Logan, who
before the war had been a democrat,
but was now a republican, became one
of the most prominent members Of the
Senate. He served many years, was sew
eral times mentioned for the presidency,
and in 1884, after failing to secure first
place, accepted the second on the ticket
with Mr.. Blaine. While a member Of
the Senate Gen. Logan played a large
part in that body.
Illinois has grown to be one Of the
most powerful Of the states, and her
commercial metropolis one Of the famous
cities of tho world. Wealth abounds,
and the population shows voters from
all the countries which have contributed
to the upbuilding Of our composite char
acter as nation. Such constituency,
with so large stake in the game, re-
quires skiilful cultivation in political
campaigns by candidates seeking legis-
lative places. At present, in particular,
the circumstances and issues are such
that appeals for votes on party lines
and such appeals will be made this year
require to be keyed with care and
sounded with all possible persuasive
ness.

AMERICAS WAR AIMS.

! In general the President takes the

goes farther, very much farther, in
some directions, and he speaks clearly
and explicitly upon points where the
silence of the British premier had be-
gun to attract notice.
| From the Birmingham Age Herald.
The President made it clear that
America and the democracies of Eu-
rope are in the fullest accord and de-

the purposes for which they are fight

Utilizing National Water Power.

At last, after years Of fruitiess en-.
deavor to reconcile conflicting policies
insisted upon by three departments Of
the government and opposing views
held in House and Senate, plan of
teamwork has been evolved to pass
legislation for the utilization of 3o,-
100000 horsepower hydroelectric energy
annually being wasted in this country.
The House, it is related in the news
columns, has created special commit
tee Of eighteen members to consider the
subject, and the three executive depart
ments have agreed upon the draft Of a
bill embodying their policies, for con-
sideration of Congress.
Thus bids fair to come to an end the
conflict of opinion and interest which
has prevented the nation from availing
itself Of its own natural resources. The
War Department, with its control over
navigable streams, had jurisdiction over
28 per cent Of the water power; the In
terror and Agricultural departments,
controlling public lands and forest re-
serves, had jurisdiction of 72 per cent.
Each department was tenacious of its
policies. Congress had ideas as to con-
trolling the utilization of the power,
and there was radical difference be-
tween the views Of the House and SEN
ate. Meantime, the wastage flowed
merrily on, turning never wheel.
The coal crisis Of this winter and the
increased demands made by the war for
motive power probably fastened the
concurrence Of action which has result
ed in q promise Of teamwork. There
will be no more important committee
in Congress than this special committee
on water power development. Its work
will be followed with greatest interest
by the country at large.

A man there was who hid away

He vowed existence should be spent
In luxury and calm content.
He murmured, 'Iet the battle rage.

And yet his life was not serene,
Though placid was his 'customed scene
While friends and family went theil
way
To bear the burdens of the fray.
His solitude so dense became,
While others went to play the game,

He boldly shouted, 'Iet me ih!"
