Much thievery is being praeticed in
Washington at present. Every dav
residences are entered and articles Of
jewelry, money and other valuables
are taken. The thieves are clever in
getting in and out and lesve no
traces. Few detections are possible,
and recoveries are rare. In this sit
uation the householders must exefeise
especial care in safeguarding their
property. Doors must be kept locked
and windows fastened. In few in.
stances are entrances forced by the
breaking Of barriers, and in almost all
cases the thief finds his way into the
premises through some carelessly I'm.
latched opening. IF locks and fasten.
ers were always kept in use the field
would be greatly narrowed and the
work of the police, already made
heavy through the cafelesshess OF
householders, would be lessened.

The Democratic Leadership.

The demonstration in the House
yesterday in compliment to Champ
Clark is a sign of the new situation
the Presidents illness has created.
There is nobody on either side of
the. political fence who does not wish
the President speedy and complete re-
eovery. Sympathy for him is general
and unaffected.
At the same time there is a belief
that his condition takes him out of
the calculations for next year; that
he will he eounseled both by his

The result of this is activity in

The District Census.

Preparations are made for taking
The District census next year. 1t is
a ulhuunced that about $50 enumera-
tors will be employed in this work,
thet completion Of which will require
about two weeks. 1t is most impor-
tsnt that the census at the capital
should be thoroughly and carefully
taken. The District has experienced
q phe uomenal increase of population
in the last two and a half years, with
some subsistence following the end Of
hostiliti es. Probably by the time the
census IL taken conditions will have
become stabilized and the then pres.
emit ropu latim can be regarded as
virtually permanent.
+ The ce, ,sus of 1910 gave the Dis
trict 331,G@. Eight years later a CEN
sus bureau estimate placed the popu-
lation at :E4,584. The police census
taken November 1, 1917, showed $685.
947 people in the District.
Census figures are almost invariably
below local computations. There is
more in this coming census enumera-
ton than the mere gratifying Of local
pride or urlosity. The counting Of
Washineton's population is q matter
of practical Importance in respect to
housing and other facilities for the
care Of the people and in point of
municipal provisions as we'll To this
end it is to be hoped that the count
made by the enumerators who are soon
to be selected will be exceptionally
thorough and accurate.

Not a Rebuff to Labor.

Labor has no occasion to feel that
II has been rebuffed by the Presi-
dents industrial conference because
that body declined to intervene in the
steel strike and was unable to agree
on the form of declaration in favor
of the principle of collective bargain
ing. The conference never should
have been pctitioned to intervene IN
the steel strike. 1t never was intended
that the conference itself should be-
come an arbiter of disputes. Arbitra-
ton of the steel strike would have
been followed logically by interven-
ton in other existing controversies,
and the conference would have had
neither time nor opportunity to at
tempt constructive work looking to
the future.
1t is unfortunate that collective
bargaining should have been brought
before the conference as thing apart
from a general program of reconcilia-
tion and adjustment, but the labor
group must share the blame for
final failure to reach an agreement.
Trade unionism sought to get out of
the resolution too great an advantage.
The public representatives as a group
and very considerable number, at
least, in the employer group were
willing to accord full recognition to
the actual status of trade unionism,
but they were not willing to carry
the trade union movement forward a
decade or two in a declaration of gem
eral principles and make unionism al
most prerequisite to collective bar
gaining.
If the conference holds together it
will be due largely to the appeal of
President Wilson, coupled with the
sanity and fair-mindedness of Frank
lin h. Lane, the conference chairman,
and q few members of the public
group who, with equal vision, have
worked with him to get some practical
accomplishment under way.
Weathering the crisis of the early
upheaval, all that will be needed is for
both the employer and the labor
groups to refrain from seeking any
undue advantage and to join in a
sincere effort to create machinery for
Cancellation and arbitration that will
command the confidence of both and
of the public. This can be done and
inealeulable good accomplished if both
sides viii forego exorbitant self-seek-
ing and from now on play the game
man fashion. Nothing can be accom-
pllshed If, as result of last even
ing's climax to the steel strike arbi-
tration and collective bargaining con-
troyersy, the labor group is sulky or
the employers grow arrogant.
