TRAFFIC BLOCKADES

TRY for trolley ride in the central
- section of the city any of these fine
Saturday afternoons and you will think
twice before wishing anybody happy
Christmas. If traffic can become almost
deadlocked now what will it be i'll the
holiday season?
!. Mr.. Mitten and the Mayor and the
.police are forever telling of the confusion
caused needlessly by drivers and chauf-
.feurs who drag the trolley cars. But
these same drivers and chauffeurs appear
unable to understand their language and
there aren't enough mounted and traffic
men available to keep the offenders in
order.
1t is clear that not only the trolley
system but the streets themselves are
now taxed to their maximum capacity
and little beyond.
AS preliminary to the holiday season
che police might we'll begin to enforce
the law which provides detention and
TINE for those who unnecessarily stall
street-car traffic. They ought to get
their hands i'll. Twenty minute runs from
Sixth street to City Hall on Market
street trolleys and seven minutes for the
voyage from Walnut to Arch on impor
,tant cross lines show that something is
wrong

THE BURDEN OF PRESIDENTS

TT HAS often been said with some truth
that the President of the United States
is the most powerful man in the world.
Power is something that no one ever
was able to hold lightly. Roosevelt aged
swiftly in Office and his decline in health
after he left the White House was
sudden. Since the announcement of Mr..
Wilson's collapse a great many writers
have been wondering in print whether
the burden of the Presidency is not al
most too great for any one man to bear.
IF the weight of responsibilities is now
excessive, what will it be when America
is the dominant force in the league of
nations? What will it be if we remain
out of the league with the necessity of
blazing our own trail amid wilderness
of new concerns in reorganized world
Congress rarely manifests initiative.
That duty is supposed to rest with the
President, and lately we have been having
evidence enough to prove that Congress
is not only temperamentally opposed to
habits of initiative but feels actually
bound to get in the way Of progressive
thinking or progressive action. When
things go wrong the White House is
blamed
Neither the House nor the Senate
seemed to be concerned with the problems
Of reconstruction while Mr.. Wilson was
in Paris, though they had little work to
do. When the need for reconstructive
measures was made apparent to the
country the President was blamed for
not having taken earlier action. That
incident suggests the normal course of
our thinking. Legislation and national
policies have their origin with the Pres
ident or his cabinet and the man in the
White House must in any emergency
accept the blame for trouble.
If the country goes into the league the
President will have more TO worry about,
since it is he who, as the voice of
America, will be expected to stabilize the
new organization of nations and steer it
safely among the inherited weaknesses,
passions and prejudices of European
states. If we remain outside the league
we shall face world in which nothing
may be taken for granted. The next
President will have job even more
difficult than Mr.. Wilson'S has been.
There seems no way in which he may
be helped, though both Of the big po-
litical parties might we'll decide now and
forever that Vice Presidents in the future
shall not be elected solely for purposes
of ornament.

WINGS

kTsEN men We're killed in the transcon-
vA tinental air race arranged by the
army to try out men, machines and
methods of aerial navigation. The navy
Sn a. a4similar experiment sent its machines
across the Atlantic without a casualty.
One of the naval planes, travelling at
the rate of ninety miles an hour in fog,
almost hit mountain on the island Of
....,SSt. Michaels. Luck and the weather were
IriaI-l her side. An army aviator on the
I ..tross-country flight was battered to
death when he collided with mountain
-veiled in snowstorm.
The navy seems to have been a bit
more cautious, a bit more scientific in
its flying methods than the army. But
the fortitude and the courage manifested
ON both sides ought to give all Americans
q new sense of pride.
Wings, for the time at least, are for
very brave men. The successive tragedies
of the armys flight suggest the degree
of honor and credit that belongs to Lieu
tenant Maynard. The flying parson will
femain an epic figure in service annals.
The church needs men like him. But so
does the army.

capital alike to be mutually suspicious
and mutually unfair.
Strike sentiment created artificially is
dangerous thing for everybody. No
one in this world is satisfied. There is
none of us who is not always willing to
ask for more. And when multitudes of
men are irritated by agitators, infiamed
and given an exaggerated sense of their
wrongs or their potentialities we are
face to face with a phenomenon which
represents a wide departure from the
spirit that gives strikes validity and the
moral support of fair-minded people.
If the labor conference can find a
way to admit the right of groups to
collective bargaining and the benefits of
trades union principles and at the same
time eliminate the professional strike
makers we shall have progressed far
toward peace in industry.

SLEEPERS IN THE SENATE

MR.. PENRosE manifested commend
4A able sensitiveness and a right ap-
probation Of the fitness of things when
he wrote formal note to the chief clerk
of the Senate with a view TO letting the
country know that it was one of his col
leagues and not he who slept during
.Hecent session in the chair labeled with
his name.
{. The Senate is not place in which one
should sleep. Now and then, when Mr.
Sherman or Mr.. La Toilette or Mr.. Reed
breaks loose we wish it were, and there
is disposition in the country to feel
that Whit of chloroform might be of
value if it were introduced deftly into
some of the debates.
The Senator from Pennsylvania forgot
ore thing. Trippers who become weary
IN the tour of Washington often go to
the Senate galleries to doze. They find
the drone of discussion soothing since it
does not stimulate or disturb the mind.
When sleeping is no longer fashionable
on the floor of the Senate or in the
galleries we shall all feel that the SEN
ators are earning their pay

1t is scarcely an exaggeration to liken
them to two burglarous incendiaries who
have set fire to building, in order that
they might get the loot which it con-
tained, and then begun fighting in the
street over the division of the spoils, for
getting that the fire would destroy
everything and that there would be
nothing left for either.
1t is not likely that the golden rule will
be applied voluntarily to the settlement
of the labor problems. 1t is many CEN
turies since it was formulated, yet gov
ernments still have to fight fraud,
rapacity and greed. SO long as these
vices prevail it will be necessary for
governments to continue their fight upon

Exhumina Senator Vest

We notice that every now and then Sena-
tor Vests famous "Eulogy on Dog crops

little pamphlet editions OF 1t lying around,
and it is regarded as bit OF classic IN its
way. Now we have always wondered about
that eulogy, Somehow it doesn't seem to
ring quite true 1t sounds q bit as though it
was written by a man who never owned
dog himself It's bit too extravagant in
praise Dogs are all right, and we are strong
for them. but if you exhaust the vocabulary
of praise on the subject of dogs you have
nothing left with which to say a nice word
for wives, employers, policemen and lots of
other people who are kind to u.s. Thinking
about these things, we wrote to our friend
Charles c.. Bell, of Boonville, Mo-, asking

delivering one of his "fre-eating" speeches

But now she leaves her peaks of light
To walk along the humber ways.
No nation now. howeer obscure.
And no enslaved, long vassaled race,
But what shall feel her advent sure
And come to know her face to face.
Chaos and Anarchy and Wrong
Shall flee before her shining helm
The boasting conquerors' strident song
Her clarion tones shall overwhem.
No more above the lofty cloud
Her radiant banner forth she hings
But carries it where, trembling, crowd
The servitors of age old kings
Not only in our mighty land
Shall now her glorious form arise.
Her touch shall tear the binding band
From serfdom's century -bandaged ewes
Her voice shall reach the deafened ears
Long tuned to edict and ukase.
And weak limbs, manaced for years.
With her own hand she shall upraise
Majestic, brave, we see her stand, . Il
Her calm gaze fronting to the stars
Till by her might each struggling land
Is freed from emperors and czars,
Freed from the tolls that bound them round
Freed from the old Oppressors' might.
They rally at her trumpets sound
Her hand shall lead them to the light,
