Sir Cecil Spring-Rice.

The sudden death at Ottawa of Sir
Cecil Spring Rice, former British am
bassador to the United States. is great
shock to those who knew him in the
course of his service at this capital. In
the circumstances his death is particu-
larly distressing. He had just COM
pleted his term of service here, his sue
cessor having been received by the Presi-
dent only yesterday. He was on his way
home. after long and most arduous
tour Of duty at post of the greatest
importance. at which he had borne him
self with the utmost correctness and
sagacity and vigorous endeavor for his
country and for the interest Of the great
alliance now Joined by the United States.
Seldom has foreign ambassador been
SO taxed with difficulties as was Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice here. He spared himself in
no degree. He literally wore himself
out, as the event at Ottawa proves. En-
dowed with personal qualities Of un-
usual charm, Sir Cecil Spring Rice en-
deared himself to q wide circle in Wash
ington and throughout the United States.
He proved most cordial friend to
many, and the personal relations he es-
tabished here were in no small degree
accountable for his success in repre-
senting Great Britain in the United
States before and during the war. Eng
land loses heavily in his death, for he
was one of her most accomplished and
able diplomats, and he would have been

at London in any field and at any post
to which he might have been assigned.

Chairman HAYS.

The new chairman of the republican

These were recently set forth by The

shown his quality in state organization.

Government Hours and Paw.

The Senate has before it the proposi-
tion to extend the working hours of the
government clerks. No substantial rea-
son has been presented for this addi-
ton to the working time of the depart
ments. The clerks are already working
long enough daily to effect maximum
of efficiency. The government is ex-
acting from them LONGER hours in emer-
gencies without any addition to their
pay. An extension of the working day
by full hour is not demanded by con-
ditions. nor is it justified by equity. The
Senate should reject the provision in the
agricultural appropriation bill.
Meanwhile consideration of the plan
to amend the wage scale permanently
should be pressed in both houses. The
bonuses granted last year are not ade-
quate. Five and ten per cent additions
to the pay of the clerks will not suffice
to meet the higher costs Of living, es.

The Workless Day SUSPENDED.

Suspension of the workless Monday
order by the fuel administration is a
gratifying assurance that the conditions
which compelled its adoption have pass

trouble is to be expected on the score
OF bitter weather and snow, and with
careful management of the rail routes
there should be no further congestion
such as that which gave rise to the or
der to suspend business one day of the
week.
The country accepted the closing or
der in good spirit, notwithstanding the
first outbnrst of protest The necessity for
the order was recognized after the shock
caused by its unheralded issue had

interest has been affected. Emergency
remedies had to be hastily devised and
applied. The country is fortunate in
having escaped from actual disaster and
now looks forward with confidence to

Labor's Loyalty Week.

Labor Is celebrating "loyalty week"

to make America ready for the conflict
and TO put force into the arm of the

Labor's Fart in this war is of the most
vital consequence. Upon the artisans
of the United States depends our sue
cess. They are fabrieating the ships
and making the munitions and mining

on the rail and at sea. They are put

the men who form the unions that con-
stitute the body of American working
men there has never been the least ques-
tion. Some aliens and seeking
Americans have sought to dominate the
councils of the trades and have formed
an organization of their own which is
now happily thoroughly discounted and
defeated in its nefarious purposes The
millions who constitute the mass of
American labor are true and stanch, and
their declarations Of loyalty now are
but repetitions that are not necessary
to convince the country, though graft
flying in the sincerity and earnestness
with which they are uttered
Wage adjustments have occurred from
time to time in the course Of our war
preparations and others will of neees-
sify occur. But they have been effected
with relatively little friction and de-

como rare. Mediatory procedure is

MARYLAND Ratifes.

Maryland's senate having passed the

ment in the Constitution An extra ses-
sion of the Montana legislature has been
called, to meet today, TO consider this
matter with other things. Montana is
not dry state, but the prohibitionists
hope for ratification by it. Special eff
forts are being made to carry ratifying
votes through the New York and Mas.

No Parade Next Week.

1t IS to be regretted that conditions
have rendered necessary the decision to
abandon the plan to bring here for
parade on Washington's birthday the
District troops at Camp Meade. The
uncertainty of the weather at this sea-
son operated to cause this change in pur-
pose; but it is gratifying that the plan
for a parade Of troops from the camp
is not wholly given up, but that efforts
will still be made to bring a quota of
soldiers here, possibly the entire num-
Der, for review by President Wilson
in the spring, when the season is more
propitious. Washington's birthday
would have afforded an exceptionally ap-
propriate occasion for the appearance
here Of the District contingent, yet the

On that side, supporting the country's

The need Of a unifer in the national
republican field is as great as it was in
the Indiana field when Mr.. Hays took
charge. He successfully met tho local
need. Faction fighting in the state had
been bitter, and had caused the loss Of
the state to the democrats. The organi-
zation he effected remedied this. The
two factions were brought together; and
two years ago the republicans succeeded
with both their state ticket and their
national ticket. Today they are in full
possession.

Dental ticket, nor write its platform.
As yet everything is in the lap of the
gods. In the next two years new lead
ers and new issues may appear, throw
ing present leaders and present issues
completely into the shade. But organi-
zation work will require attention; and
to that the committee will address itself.
In that work Chairman Hays, it is
stated, will have free hand. This will
test him. He will have opportunity to
promote the unity his party greatly
needs. For, despite the new times, and
the mistakes of the past six years, there
is still talk about "standpatters" and
''progressives," 'the old guard" and gre
dictionaries" and all the rest of what
sent the party TO grass in 1912.
II viii be good politics for the demo-
Gratis to promote this, and to read into
Mr.. Hays election a faction triumph.
But as bull moosery is about extinct,
and the tariff question has been so af
fected by tho war that many of the old
discussions of it have lost their point,
republican factionism now on old lines,
or on any lines, would not only invite,
but deserve, another defeat.
