BERGER AND HIS BEDLAM
New York World:-

New York World:-
Victor Berger, convict congressman
elect, complained feelingiy in New
York. where he was heard without in
,errtption, that free speech is denied
in America. To prove his case, he
prophesied and justified and in effec,
advocated IN the same breath personal
violence and revolution
On examining the utterances of the
oppressed pro-German seditionist We
find that nobody prevented him from
saying that Americanism and capital
ism are the same thing; that Ameri-
can capitalism is soon TO reap the
dragons teeth; that a peaeeable solu-
tion of our controversies is impossi-
BILE: that If we do not accept humbiy
wha. he calls Socialism we shall have
Anarchism; that in place of orderly
action We shall have direct action;
that before long every rebellious
workingman will become a law unto
himself and will use any means he
can think of; and that all of Us
should look to Russia and learn
from it."
Without inviting attention, particu-
larry to the character of the man, al
ready under sentence, who made these
threats or 10 his indictments TO
crime on the part of individuals and
organizations, we should like to re-
cord the fact that Berger is still at
large, and so far as we have learned.
not one Of the precious crew who ap-
plaudcd him had any difficulty in
reaching home safely. II this was
not an IDEAL illustration of free speech
where, outside Of Bedlam, are we TO
look for either Of them?

The Interurhan Terminal.

Approval by the Public Utilities
Commi ssion of the project of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
railway to construct a terminal sta
ton in this city settles ON the best
basis the problem of the city-end ar
rangement of the interurban line 1t
was at first planned to sloop" the
tracks on 18th, II and 18th streets and
New York avenue, but objection was
raised to this method, which involved
occupat on of the streets. The project
approved will involve only . slight
add ION to the street traekage and
will insure the housing of the cars
while waiting for starting times, 1t
viii also afford shelter and eelven-
fence to patrons of the line. This
would appear thus to be by far the
best method, and it is gratifying that
in the solution Of the matter the pub
lie will be best served with the least
incumbranee upon the public space.

Army Hospital Laundry.

By simple change in the manual
of the medical department of the Army
it is now provided that at all Army
hospitals in this country and in France
the clothing of patients, whatever their
condition, may be laundered at gov
eminent expense. This effectually
solves any problem that may arise in
an Army hosp tai such as that re-
Gently selosed at Walter Reed, near
this city, of crippled convalescent pa
tients compelled to wash their own
clothing, with inadequate facilities for
the work. Upon publication of the
facts in The Star the Red Cross an
nouneed its readiness to care for the
laundry of convaleseent patients and
the matter was thus adjusted. Even
this arrangement, however, was not the
most satisfactory or log. zeal, as there
should be no discrimination between
patients who are in bed and those who
are able to be up and about. The ex-
tension of the hospital laundry facili-
ties to all soldiers under care, in what
ever state of sickness or recovery, was
the proper course, and it is gratifying
that this has been done by a general
order, which insures a uniformity of
practice throughout the Army hospital
service.

Draft Boards and Census Work.

Gen. Crowder's suggestion that the
seleetiye draft machinery be utilized
for the taking of the next census is
worthy of serious consideration. In
the course of his annual report he
points out that these boards accom-
phshed q novel and difficult piece of
work in q remarkably short time and
with very smah percentage of error.
The work of the boards was not mere
ly one Of enumeration, but included
the collection Of data Of an extensive
character relative to the social and do
nestle status Of millions Of men.
A wise policy caused the mainte-
nance Of the draft board system
throughout the period of the Army
organization. Virtually the same per-
sonnet completed the work that was
undertaken. The men comprising these
boards became experts in the matter
Of classification and registration.
They are by this time thoroughly
familiar with the procedure, and while
it might b, impossible to utilize their
personal services, owing to the fact
that they have already served the
country srduously without any COM

POLITICS AT HOHBb
Mr.. Bryan and Next Year.


. There are persons who think that
Mr., Bryan, though little disfgured
by his three defeats, is still in the
ring. They cite his activity in affairs,
! his recently displayed interest in pro-
hibition, and the present interest he
is displaying in the railroad question
and the suffrage question. What does
it mean, they ask, if not that he still
has his eye on the presidency And
what more likely than that in the
next few enthusiastically before
this time next year-the fourth Bryan
boom will appears
THIS makes good talk, even at a
time when so much talk is going
about so many things. Mr. Bryan as
good copy" holds his own at all
times, as did the late Mr.. Roosevelt.
And how strange that phrase sounds
1.-THE late Mr.. Roosevelt! He was
so long coupled with Mr. Bryan, as
exhibiting t:reless and abound ng
energy, it is difficult to realize that
he is gone.
Let the gossips have their notions
and their say. but let us all compli-
ment Mr.. Bryan on the interest he
continues to take in public affairs,
and on the activity he displays in be-
half of the things he believes in,
whether he has a selfish purpose or
not. He has been in the public eye
long time. He has the public ear
He has had to do with number of
important questions. He is familiar
with the processes of agitation-of
how to keep the pool stirred. Even
his opponents profit somewhat from
his deliverances, for they represent
sincere opinions, eandidly offered.
Indeed, it would be good thing if
every man who distinguishes himself
in public life decided upon a similar
eourse-deeided upon keeping up his
interest ana activity IN public life to
the end. Some men drop out of the
game of their own accord, and hence
forth occupy themselves solely with
their private affairs. Others, after a
reverse or two at the polls, retire in
disgust and give to politics no further
thought.
This country, at this time in par
ticular, has need of suggest; ons from
every citizen to whom the public will
listen. We have reached period of
old things passing and new things
arriving. We are sorting cut the new
things, with the object of fitting
them into places in our scheme of
government. So that all who are in
terested in good government, and in
seeing the government fulfill its des-
tiny. should. with keen solieitude, keep
its affairs in heart and mind.

The Trouble Pack.

The Trouble Pack.
We are told we must pack up our
troubles and smiles,
And it's truly wonderful way.
But troubles grow heavy as mile after
mile
You carry them all through the day.
There's oft a temptation to shift them
around
To others whose steps dare not lag.
When the troubles are packed, there's
this question profound:
Who's going to carry the bagi
Have you picked up each burden that
fell to your share
And trudged with a smile and a
song,
And perhaps lent hand when you'd
some strength to spare
To comrade just then not so
strongf
It's easy to pack up our cares, one
and all,
As we travel to march time or arag, =
But don't pass them along, for the
credit is small
If some one else carries the bag.

pensation, the machinery Of the bearda
could readily be used for the super
vision Of the census work.
Census enumeration is net much
more difficult than the draft registra-
ton that was carried ON here during
the Army-making process. 1t involves
a somewhat wider range Of inquiry,
but the information already gained
lays a foundation for this work that
would appreciably simplify it. Whether
the boards themselves are used for
this purpose, the government should in
any case utilize the records kept by
them in the census enumeration.

The Republicans and Harmony,

Prominent republicans who will sit
in the next Congress are meeting and
talking things over. They should
meet often-often as may be neces-
sary to get line on the situation,
and decide how best to improve a
golden opportunity.
For golden the republican oppor-
tunity is. They have been called to
power in Congress at the beginning
of a new era. Many old matters have
been serapped. Many new matters
await shaping. The next Congress is
expected to shape some Of them. So
that it will DO the duty of that body
not only to shape matters, but decide
which shall be taken up first. The
preference must be given to those that
cannot wait.
There is, thea, to be considered the
important point of the divided power
that will exist for two years following
March 4. The republicans will be su-
preme on Capitol Hill. the democrats
at the White House, Necessarily, there
will be marking time. But not about
all matters. Some matters must 60
forward, and should go forward in
the best manner possible.
This will be the order of things.
The President will recommend. He,
too, must have a program, Congress
will consider, and send measures to
him for his signature. He win sign,
or refuse his signature, OF let meas
ures become law without his sigma
ture.
We may expect the playing of some
politics. Politics is never adjourned
in this good Hand. We have politics
always with us. 1t enters, in one way
or another, into all our leading ques-
tons. And next year, be it remcm-
bered. is presidential year, when both
parties will be striving to win the
greatest stake hung up in this country
Still, it Will be true then, as always,
that the best politics will be large
polities-politics taking into consid-
Grafton first of all, and above all, the
country's interests. "He serves his
party best who serves his country
best" We shall need some new paths,
and they should be traced with extreme
care. Pathmaking is not everyday
business, nor such as can be done
while you wait.
In view Of all these facts-and they
are in plain view-therc is full war
rant for the efforts the republicans
are making to tackle their task in good
earnest, and in ~ compact and work
able organization rs possible. No
other kind Of organization will an

Mr.. Borah's Stunning Proposition

Addressing his fellow senators the
other day, Mr.. Borah said;
of you would destroy bolshevism
and aharehism and /. w W.-ism let
US when this Congress adjourns upon
the 4th of March volunteer to go to
the rostrum and. speak Americanism
from every quarter of this nation, and
procure a revival of faith in our re-
publican institutions"
This assumes that there will be no
early session of the new Congress. In
that event, senators will be masters
OF their time, and may spend it as
seems best to them. Probably they
could spend it in no better way than
as proposed by the Idaho senator.
Nor, should they take the stump,
need they cenfne themselves to one
topic. BoIshey;sm, it is true, is pat
enough 1t is the subject of great
deal of talk. Wonder IS general why
se,eh tn ng should have reared its
head in this country. And mpatienee
is quite as general. The desire is for
its prompt suppress on.
But there IS lively interest aise in
the peace conference, its eanfabuia-
tons, and all about the program for
rearrang ng the world. Senators could
q seourse somewhat On that topic. In
terest IN it Is the greater, indeed. be-
eause Of the differences Of op;nien
known to exist between many senator's
and the President as to what Americas
part should be in the new order of
things,
Thea there il the fifth liberty loan,
scheduled fot spring. Appeals for
that coming from senators would
have attention and produce good re-,
suits.
The fact is that the public ID reused
now about a number of things. We
have had such stirring and unusual
experiences in the past two years,
everybody is alive and curious. Speak
ers of reputation and in Office have
only to present themselves to secure
large audiences and close attention.
Messages from such men have special
value.
Nov and then some bilious soul
makes the discovery that Congress has
lost its hold ON the country; that the
people no longer look to their senators
and representatives for leadership
that the public would profit it the leg
isiative branch Of the government did
not meet oftener than every tsnth
year.
The merest extravaganza, of course.
Every two years there il campaign
vhen every seat in the House and .
third Of the seats in the Senate are in
the scale; and both the contests for
nominations and those later for eiec-
tions show that the people when new

Southern Suffrage Sentiment.

1t is announced that the woman suf-
4Ssse amendment viii be called up in
ths Senate tomorrow and its advocates
h6fe for a two-thirds vote. 1t is
Hewn that they are very close to that
psint. II they have rot actually reach
ed it through recent changes of atti-

belief in the adoption of the resolu-
ton is the recently manifested evil
danee of suffrage sentiment in the
south, which has hitherto been con
sidered opposed to the enfranehise-
Nent of the women.
An interesting reversal of sentiment
has occurred on the suffrage question

damocratic convention refused to con
