Our history will place the Copper
heads Of 1860 and the League oppo-
nents Of 1919 in the same class. Like
their forebears Of the sixties, the sem
atorial obstructionists Of the present
time are SO blinded by partisan poison
that they are unable to see the rights
Of humanity. They can misrepresent
this country for little while but not
for long. 81

Great Britain at the present time is
in precarious position. The balance
of trade is overwhelmingly against
the United Kingdom. A large per-
centage of the gold Of the world is
held by the United States and that fact
added to the further fact that the war.
instead Of injuring. 4 !, has vast II;
~ increased this ne pntry's
productive ability, gives this
country dominating. position in the
commercial world. Without the
friendship and kindly assistance OF
this country England's laboring
masses will suffer, or rather continue
to suffer, from the dire effects Of the
war. The labor party In England is
in an ugly mood, and the existing
order of things over there Is by no
means secure. It. would mot take
much to make England sas unhealthy
for kings and lords az any country
in central Europe,
At such q time In the history Of
Great Britain King Carson's" recent
speech, In which he opposed home
rule for Ireland and. criticised the
United States for expressing desire
favorable y the Stfaatins q self-gov-
eminent to Ireland. was so Injurious
and SO damaging that IT may result in
the retirement OF Mr.. Carson from
public life
His speech brought him under the
lash Of the newspapers Of all parties
in Great Britain.
In the House OF Commons, the
speaker gave a member of the labor
party the right to challenge the gov
eminent to proceed against Mr.. Car
son criminally. No one defended the
speech. 1t was generally regretted
and considered indefensible. But the
Attorney General declared that much
as the speech might be regretted it
was not criminal.
While not criminal, Mr.. Carson's
speech has started movement in
England for the formation of mid
dle-class party that will be able to
rule the country without Mr.. Carson's
support Such a party might be able
to safely conduct Great Britain across
the thin ice over which it is now
passing.
We believe that if few Irish
trouble makers could be silenced, the
people of all sections of the Island
would deal justly by each other. Amer
leans are far from agreeing, but they

NO ACCIDENT MONTH

The month of May has been designated by the Safety Sec tion of the United States Rail- raod Administration as'No Accident" month on all fed erally controlled railroads in the intire Southwestern Region. The casualties on American railroads show an annual toll of approximately 10000 persons killed and 200, 900 injured, not including minor injuries, as this loss of life and limb can, with the co-opperation of the public and the employees of the rail- roads, be greatly reduced, the ''No Accident" campaign dur ing the month of May is merely one of the many steps that are being taken to eliminate the preventable accidents.
 Automobile road crossing accidents are growing more and more common, and the number of resulting deaths and injuries are appalling. The daily toll of deaths and injuries throughout the United States deserves more than a passing thought on the part of the public at large, the rail roads and the various State Legislatures. One can scarcely pick up a newspaper without finding where there has been some fatal accident at some gradecrossing. These ac- cidents seem to be on the in- crease rather than the de- crease. Such accidents are not deliberately intended, yet they can all be charged to careless ness.

RITES FOR HALLOWEEN

Nothing could be better for tn"
average Halloween party which is to
consist of games, divinations and jolly
ronrps, than an amuseing little jingle
leading up to the surprise in store
for those who accept. Written on tiny
pumpkins or witch or grimalkln
shapes or simply on note paper, bit
of catchy doggered suggests IN ad-
vance the mythical character of the
event to which we all look forward
with such eagerness this month.
A simple rhyme which can be used
when the hostess finds it difficult to
to originate one, is the following:
On Halloween, when witches ride,
Come and have your fortunes tried;
We1l lift the veil and tell you true
Just what the future holds fer you.
Please lift the latch of Waltham's gate
Not later than the hour Of eight,
But ere that day, send US q line.
To say you'll join in our good time.

sonal, it is ready to go on teaching us
how to be better and more useful in
our own homes-home nursing, diete-
tics, first aid.

CAPITAL COMES HERE
Outlook For alexandria Said 10 be
the Brightest in the History of the
City.

Mcssrs. Graham and Ogden, >real
estate agents, have sold to Man
Sperling, of Alexandria, Joseph Sperl-
ing, of Washington, and; Mrs. Dora
Bosak, of New York, the building row
occupied by the Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company on the north SIDE %
King street, near st. Asaph. The pur
pose of the present owners has rot
been divulged.
This property is one of the most
valuable in the city, situated as it Is
in the heart Of the business section. L
is one of Alexandria's oldest lanl-
marks, and up to 1861 agencies of IN
surance companies were located r
the building. After the occupation CT
the city by the federal army il was
used as the headquarters of the mill
tary governor, as well as for the pro-
vost marshal. The late II. II. Wells.
who half century ago played a
prominent part in state politics, had
his office in the building.
The orginial structure was located
back from the street, and trees stool
in front. Years ago the German Ban
was. operated in the place. After the
bark closed business the late Dav:c
.Appich acquired the property, ar
the present front was added. The late
D. II. !Appich conducted a bakery and
confectionery in the place for man..
years, and upon retiring from bust
ness the store portion of the building
was leased by the company now oc.
cupying it.
In this connection it may be statec
that people Of other cities have then
eyes turned toward Alexandria, an,
some have purchased property here
Several strangers while inspecting
Alexandria recently said that th'
prospects of our city are at present
brighter than any city of its size il

where they intended to make invest

but having stopped in this city the.

Alexandria afforded every induce
ment that could be offered for the in

The large plants recently locates
here made it plain to the visitor
that Alexandria is on the way t
