The Increasing DRY" Vote.

On Tuesday the Massachusetts, house
voted to ratify the federal prohibition
amendment, 145 to 81. Concurrence by
the senate is expected. If this action
is taken Massachusetts, will make the
eleventh state to give its approval,
South Dakota having voted unanimously
the other day to the same effect. Thus
far only one state at present in legisla-
tive session has failed to ratify, New
York, which postponed action. The
amendment has been approved by six
states already dry-Mississippi, vir-
ginia, South Carolina, North Da-
kota, Montana and South Da-
kota-and by four wet states-Ken-
tucky, Maryland, Texas and Delaware.
If Massachusetts, ratiies a fifth will
have been added to the latter list. In
that case the expectations of the pro-
hibitionists for this winters campaign
will have been exceeded, and there will
remain only. twenty-five states to ratify
for final effect. Twenty-one Of the
states that have yet to act are dry by
constitutional provision or statute. As

Be Careful in the Streets!

Lieut.. Headley, chief Of the police
traffic squad, urges the Importance Of
care on the part Of pedestrians in their
use of the streets, which are now 10
greatly crowded. This advice should be
needed, else the city's accident list will
grow shockingly. Two rules are to be
strictly observed, to look before leav-
ing the curb and to cross at intersec-
tions. At tho busy corners, where traffic
policemen are stationed, it is possible al
ways to cross the streets without dan
ger, by observing the signals and going
parallel with the traffic impulses. At
other corners, while the pedestrian has
reasonably the right Of way, it is un-
safe to depend upon that right, for
drivers and chauffeurs are not always
observant Of it. In justice the pedes-
trans privilege of crossing should be
recognized at intersections. Otherwise
there is no safety in the streets. Those
who cross in the middle Of the block
may be safer if they look carefully and
choose their time of crossing, but they
abandon any rights they may possess
legally when they do so.
Washington is SO crowded now that
the navigation of the streets is difficult
for all, for motorists not the least. They
should choose the least congested streets,
preferably those without car tracks, for
their running. Speeding in the con-
gested area is always dangerous to
everybody. Let all who use the streets
be careful.

Some One.


There's a satisfying feeling that what
ever may betide,
We can conquer every danger to our
safety and our pride.
Some one will do the fighting and some
one will SOW the grain;
Some one will launch the battleship and
build the aeroplane.
Then there comes sharp reminder
that there's work for you to do,
That you must be some one to help some
one who is helping you
Some one will be forgetfnl of the selfish
hope or fear;
Some one will brave the tempest that
is darkly lowering near;
Some one will run the railroad and
some one will dig the coal;
Some one will think Of big results and
not of taking toll;
Some one will do his little part to see
the crisis through,
And be worthy Of his country. sAnd that

The Campaign in Asia.

While attention has been centered on
the German thrust in France, England
has been busy in Mesopotamia and Pales-
tine, administering severe defeats to the
kaiser's allies, the Turks. Simultaneous
advances are reported in the two areas,
British troops taking positions north
east Of Jerusalem ard northwest of
Bagdad. In the latter operation heavy
blow. Was given to the Turks, over 5000
being csptured with many guns. The
purpose Of these movements may be to
u1ite the two columns north Of the
eyrian desert, which comprises the
northern end Of Arabia. Damascus is
the obvious objective Of an advance
nesth Of Jerusalem. It lies about 12o
niles beyond Es Salt, the capture of
which was reported the other day. If
ulmascus is taken the seaport Of Beirut
bGeomes untenable for the Turks. Its
seizure would give the British command
oil half Of the eastern coast of the
Mediterranean. In pursuing the beaten
Irks northwest of Hit, the British are
a&vsncing up the Euphrates valley,
wAich is fianked on the south by the
Syrian desert and on the north by "the
ltaand," or desert of FL Jezireh. If
tlese are cooperating movements impor-
taht developments are soon to be ex-

Bull Moosers Returning Home.

Col. John M. Parker of Louisiana is
again a democrat. The announcement is
just made. From the democracy he
came, and unto the democracy he has
returned.
Col Parker left the democratic party
and became a bull mooser under the
inspiration of Theodore Roosevelt. He
admired Mr.. Roosevelt on per-
sonal grounds. and then accepted him
as a political leader. Bull 1noosery
looked good to him.
At the time, this conversion was hailed
as the forerunner Of many. Mr.. Roose-
velt was popular in the south, and his
eastern and western supporters expected
him, as the head of the new party, to
make heavy inroads on the old party
that controlled the situation below
Mason and Dixon's line
He failed to make them. Only a few
Col. Parkers turned up. The democracy
in the lower southern states remained
unshaken. Admiration for Mr.. Roose9
welt as a man led but few southern
democrats to indorse him as a political
leader.
And so the two men are back where
they started. Mr.. Roosevelt is again a
republican, and Col. Parker again a
democrat Bull moosery did not pan
out. The two old parties were not as
bad as the two old politicians feared
they had become. Mr.. Roosevelt mas
now found that the republican party
is still an agency for good, while Col
Parker, by returning to it. gives the
democratic party new certificate of
character.
Bull moosers generally are taking this
line, and next fall and in 1920 will be
found in their old places. Not many of
them came from the democratic party.
The great majority were disgruntled re-
publicans, who had been under Mr..
Roosevelt's spell, and found It easy to
shift foot when he shifted his.
1t is Rood TO see rhat the failure OF
bull moosery is not inuring to the bene
fit of socialism. There was no reason
why it should. 1t never pointed in that
direction. The assertion of bull moosery
was that both Of the old parties had
fallen under influences preventing
progress. But progress. not economic
revolution, was their demand. They were
not tainted with socialism; and now that
socialism aspires to secure the balance
Of pover, with view of later securing
full power, these men are deciding to

tivities will do the most good.

POLITICS AT HOME
Tho President's Prestige.

It ID evident that tho Presidents
name will be literally conjured with by
his party in this years campaigns, state
and congressional. The policy, 80 to
say, has already been inaugurated, and
will be developed as time passes.
Today, the appeal for votes for the
democracy is. based upon. two PROPOSE
tions. The first is that republican sue
cess, particularly in the congressional
elections, would be construed abroad as
a reputation Of the administration on
the subject Of the war. The second is
that the party deserves Endorsement on
its domestic as well as foreign policies,
and that the President has been the
leader in the shaping Of both.
Unquestionably, the President has
been his party's leader. There has not
been a single occasion for doubt on that
point since he entered the White House.
He was prompt in the assertion Of
leadership, and his party quite as
prompt in its acceptance of his asser-
ton.
It has gone farther than that. At
times it has not waited for an asser-
tion, but asked for one. As referee
between factions, with his decision al
ways indorsed by both factions, he has
done land Office business.
In this way the President, as party
chief, has acquired considerable pres
tige, and naturally his party wants to
capitalize it at its current high figure.
The first proposition will be promptly
challenged and have to undergo a warm
campaign discussion. Last year the
same proposition was put forward with
out effect. The republicans scored in a
large majority Of the contests, and yet
no i'll result as to the war was expert
enced. Even foreigners, often unable to
correctly interpret American election re-
turns, did not read into those Of last
November any change of sentiment re-
specting the entrance of this country
into the war. They knew that the two
parties had united in the war declara-
tion, and were still united in the support
Of hostilities.
A year of very interesting politics
has opened; and the interest will in
crease as the time lengthens. In the
President the democrats have leader
unchallenged in his own party, and in
high favor with many members Of it
for third nomination. On the repub-
lican side no man as vet stands defined
for 1920, or is so strong that votes will
be openly solicited for forwarding his
prospects for supreme leadership.

Constructive Criticism.

Public criticism Of war matters Tor
ssnstructive purposes only. Such Is the
Asuand. But it sometimes issues from
ssurces that appear to desire NO criti-
eism Of any kind for any purpose.
A yet, no other sort Of criticism has
issued from responsible quarters. And
e Il likewise true that all such criticism
has wrought for good.
The speech delivered by Senator
Chamberlain in New York last winter
rsised a real howdy-do. By some it
was regarded IS, at least, a great indis-
sestion. As they read and appraised it,
nothing could, or would, come Of It but
"a and comfort for the enemy.
We all know now that that was q
hssty and much mistaken appraise-
mont. A great deal Of good has c"me
Of 1t. Some Of the most conspicuous
progress made by this government since
the war began dates from it. Some very
prominent officials at once bestirred
themselves as the result Of it, and have
been very busy men since. Is it too
much to suggest that probably Secre-
tazy Bakers trip to Europe-well under
taken, and likely to bear good fruit
grew out Of the Oregon senator's deliv-
0eancef
Mr.. Chamberlain's criticism was for
constructive purposes, and had that ef-
1Dct. It inspired other criticism of a
Ike nature. with like result. The ship
situation-still far from satisfactory
has yet been improved. Frank talk as
to that has brought both capital and
labor to a clearer appreciation of their
dirty in that field.
( The aeroplanc situation is now under
Investigation and discussion. Great
barkwardness is charged. The probe
should be thorough. If the charge is
exaggerated, the fact can be established.

ct large had not been taken into con-

ness Of the day. Then came a change;
and since the change-since the adop-
tion of the policy Of pubicity-a gain
for efficiency has been made all along
