sons more often than otherwise put
up their cash at the station houses
and never answer the summons to
court. They regard the collateral IS
part of their annual expenses of run
ming an automobile. There is NO sys-
tenn of following up charges except
in the gravest cases. There IS NO
check upon repeated offenders.
What the District most urgently
needs today Is traffic court, vested
with full police court powers and
equipped to hear cases promptly and
to insure the attendance at court of
all persons accused.
With the laws stiffened, with penal
ties assured for lawbreaking, with a
penalty of some kind devised to meet
every case of fatality, with the Hcens-
ing of motorists made more difficult
through examinations, with period
|ical-though not sch duled-ealling for
license cards to insure against the
driving of cars by unauthorized per-
sons, and with a traffic court on the
job, Washington will be safer than
it is today. None Of these precautions
will perhaps cure the evil of careless
ness by pedestrians. They must cure
themselves But their lives can be
made safer by making the laws and
regulations more effective.

Make Warrington Safer!

Senator Sherman's resolution, intro.
dueed in the Senate yesterday, regard,
ing the menace to life and limb in.
volved in the speeding of vehicles in
the streets of Washington, may be re-
garded as definite notice of a purpose
on the part of the chairman of the
District committee to move promptly
and vigorously for making the streets
of the capital safer.
That there is need of action of this
kind is shown by the daily toll of So
called accidents in the streets. Scarce
ly day passes without fatality OF
the dangerous injuring of one or more
persons. In all but the rarest cases
the drivers of vehicles figuring in
these collisions are exonerated by
coroners' juries. The holding of a
motor driver for the grand jury and
by the grand jury for trial is a rare
occurrence.
The fact is that, despite the utmost
vigilance of the excellent police traffic
squad, free rein is given to speed
ers and to rule breakers, which, cou.
pied with undoubted carelessness on
the part of pedestrians, makes Wash.
ington one of the most dangerous
cities in the United States today.
In one of the citizens associations
the other evening a resolution was
proposed calling for the abolition OF
the practice of taking collateral TO,
persons arrested for violating the
speed regulations, and also a law i'm
posing an assured penalty upon the
driver of any car which causes the
death of another person. This pro
posal should be considered by the Sen
ate District committee when it take:
mp the whole matter.

Full Compliance Necessary

In view of the exchange of tele-
grams between the President and the
head Of the miners union, in which
Fluctuations are expressed regarding
the settlement of the coal strike, it
is to be expected that there will be
full and prompt compliance with the
orders issued by the miners officials
for immediate resumption Of work.
These dispatches are pitched in a key
of complete adjustment, and it will be
a lamentable disclosure of futility if
any portion of the organized body of
miners should refuse to return to the
mines.
1t is reported that in Kansas the
head of the state union is in opposi-
ton to a resumption of work on the
ground that the strike there is local,
having been started in July ON purely
local questions. Whatever the differ
ence in time this Kansas strike is in
the same category as the general strike,
and refusal to live up to the agree
ment accepted at indianapolis is a
definite defiance. 1t is up to the ma
tional union leaders to compel accept
ance in Kansas as in all other states
affected by the strike.
The spirit of the agreement accept
ed at Indianapolis is the immediate
resumption of coal mining to the full
est possible capacity. 1t is based upon
the country's absolute necessity. Even
with the mines running at full pro-
duction it will be several days, pos
sibly two weeks, before industries now
affected by the fuel shortage can be
restored to normal and before the peo-
pie are given enough coal to keep
them from suffering. Every idle or
short-manned mine will be a reproaeh
upon the union organization.
No matter where sympathy may lie
in this matter, the fact stands out
clearly that the country has been
brought to a serious crisis by the fail
ure of the existing methods Of indus
trial adjustment and has escaped an
actual disaster by a narrow margin
through the invocation of extraordi-
nary methods of compulsion and set
Element. The Kansas revolt against
the Indianapolis agreement is an add
ed indication of the imperative need
of some mode of settlement for the
future that will insure speedy and
complete adjustment of questions at
issue between employer and employed
in the basic essential industries.

a time in play and they win do bet

close touch with the organizations that
are considering matters of local mo-
ment and working toward the better
ment of municipal conditions. 1t is
to be expected thst all the associa-

though some of them have to change

Junior Citizens.

As suitable development of the
citizenship movement which has lately
been given a marked impetus in this
city by the organized drive for mem
bership, School Superintendent Thurs
ton proposes a junior membership in
these bodies for boys of high school
age, with a fifteen-year age limit.
Excellent results would probably fol-
low such an extension of the member
ship privilege. There is urgent need
in this city today, as in all other
cities, for the civic training of the
boys and young men. During the war
they manifested the highest patriot
ism, but it is evident that they do
not quite fully grasp the meaning of
citizenship. Already a step in this di-
rection has been taken here by the
organization of an auxiliary associa-
ton by students of the Western High
School. Mr.. Thurston proposes that
the junior members should actually
attend the meetings of the adult as
sociations, even though they might
hold meetings of their own. Co-opera.
ton between the boys and their elders
in civic matters is not only possible,
but may yield most valuable fruits.
Most of the boys in this city need to-
day keener sense Of responsibility as
members of the community. 1t will
not in the least detract from their on.

The Country and Strikes.

This appeared in yesterdays imam
cial report from New York:
Tnfuenced largely by the settle
ment of the coal strike, todays stock
market opened with firm to strong
tone in all quarters of the active list y
Let US suppose an announcement
made that the steel strike had been
settled, upon the basis Of a conference
to be held at which the interests of
labor, of capital and of the public
would be represented.
Let us suppose an announcement
made that all uneasiness as to strike
by the railroad brotherhoods had
passed; that the spirit of the train
men showed improvement in the way
of recognition by them of their OBJ
legations to the public.
Let us suppose that, drawn from
these two announcements, an infer
ence was spreading and working
throughout the country that the strike
fever in all departments of activity
was subsiding, and that normal in the
whole industrial world would soon be
registered.
Can any one doubt what the effect
would be, not only on the stock mar
kets of the country, but on business
enterprises of every kindf Would
not buoyancy and confidence be the
general RESULT Should we not see
everybody everywhere pluck up heart
and bend all energies toward produc-
toni Would not a boom set in
throwing into the shade all previous
boomsa
The opportunity for the country is
great, and the obligation no less. Our
producing capacity is enormous; and
the world needs all of everything we
can produce. Our industrial plants
were not destroyed, or even impaired,
by the war. We can, if we wish, turn
our hand to many things, and do them
all with profit to ourselves and great
benefit to others.
But, of course, there must be team
work. Capital and labor must pull to-
gether, and pull with a will. Pulling
together, they are powerful for good.
Pulling apart, and against each other,
they are powerful for evil, and them
selves share in the evil they inflict.
Capital exists in huge sums. Labor
exists in great numbers, and numbers
of those numbers are very skillful.
The country has reached its present
position in the industrial world as the
result of united efforts on the part of
its people. Some of the most notable
progress made antedates what may be
called the strike policy. Dividends
were large and wages high before the
strike became a formidable weapon
and In common use.
Omitted, we stand; divided, we fall"
Nothing is more indisputable And to
stand now, in a world still rocking
from the recent unparalleled up
heaval, requires a union of pride and
spirit as we'll as of strength and pur-
pose. America must 60 forward, and
all of her people must get into the
push.
