taking their stand on that Contention ;
and while the controversy continues
there will be many deliverances, pro
and con, by eminent men which the
average reader will find it hard to di-
gest unless he qualities himself fol

1t is at once an absorbing and a
profitable line of reading. Employ

the men who undertook and finished
the job were among the most remark

fairs at any time in the worlds his

paid by statesmen and publicists of all
the leading nations.
The question of what is or is not

raised. But the question as now raised
has, because of its size and character,
an interest very far out of the ordi-
nary; and what we shall hear on the
subject from now until the peace
treaty is disposed of will be worth the
attention it is certain to receive.

Wireless Telephony.

Secretary Daniels telephone COM
munieation with the President yester-
day while the steamer bringing the
chief executive was 800 miles at sea
is but a new token of the wonders
that have developed within a. very
short time. Wireless telephony is not
especially novel now. for it has been
practically used during the war in
communication between earth stations
and airplanes and otherwise in mill
tary service. But wireless phone
talk from Washington to a ship 800
miles out at sea is nevertheless a
marvel. ~
In this eonnection,it is well to recall
that Samuel F. B. Morse on the occa-
sion of the first successful test Of the
telegraph declared that he regarded
the wires as virtually hindranee and
predicted that they would eventually
be discarded. 1t took many years to
reach the point suggested by him. A
long time had passed before the wire
less transmission of code signals was
developed. Wireless telephony came
later, at first only a scientific curiosity,
but now a practical means Of COM
munication.
Wireless telephony is, of course,
subject to being overheard, though it
has the same degree of protection that
the code wireless has Of individual
vibration rates or pitches. By proper
"tuning" a certain degree Of secrecy
is possible. Yet much ground remains
to be covered before conversations by
wireless are rendered entirely private.
Certainly state secrets will not be In
trusted to the wireless telephone in
the present state of development.

Of the Sights" Of the capital, and
visitors usually asked after her and
were gratifed when they encountered
her. She had a remarkable career,
having been the first woman to be
named assistant Army surgeon, the
first woman to be a prisoner of war
and the first woman to be decorated
for bravery. During the civil war
she rendered Invaluable service in
nursing the sick and wounded. Her
adoption of male attire was due to a
conscientious belief in the political
equality of the sexes. She was far
ahead of her time, but she lived to
see women doing mems work and
wearing mems clothes while at work.
She was eccentric and fearless, and
often came in conflict with convention.
She had no hesitation about express
ing herself, and often made "scenes"
in. public when size thought her rights
and privileges wene not respected. 1t
cannot be said that the suffrage cause
was advanced as a direct result of
her efforts, or that her idiosyncracy
in the matter of clothing aided in the
least in the emancipation of women
from their former restriction. But
she at least served to bring the public
mind to the point Of considering the
matter of "women,s rights" and it
may be that IN the final analysis she
contributed materially to the cause.

before her death ceased to occupy any

woman suffrage before that question

Office Hours and Car Service.

In the matter of staggering" the
department hours to relieve street ear
congestion the government employees
must bear distinctly in mind the fact
that it is impossible for the present
and Immediately prospective street
railway equipment to carry them all
at the same time, morning and even
ing. If the crush hour" can be ex-
tended to cover period of two hours
or two and a half the cars can carry
those who must be transported. The
only way to do this is to start work
in some Offices earlier than in others,
to spread the opening times over a
space of an hour and halt, and con-
sequently the closing times as we'll
In these circumstances some depart
ments must be chosen for earlier and
some for later opening. If the matter
is left to vote nothing can be accom-
plished. 1t is natural that everybody
should want to keep the hours as they
were before the present condition de-
veloped in Washington. The matter
can be arranged best by arbitrary de-
cision of the executive officials and
not be referred to the employees unless
in some particular office there is a
choice between an earlier or later
hour, not affecting the general sehed-
uie. The scientific way to handle
this matter is to determine how many
people there are to be carried every
morning and every afternoon, and to
devise that system Of opening and
closing hours that. viii best spread

1916-192o.

Four years ago-to be specific, in
February, 1915--some sixteen months
before nomination time-the 1repub-
licans were considering the names of q
number of attractive men in connec-
ton with their party's need of strong
candidate for the presidency. If Mr..
Roosevelts name figured the most fire.
quentIy and prominently in the Cos
sip, it was largely because of his Pc
culiar position. He was still tagged
as bull mooser. Nevertheless, there
were men willing to wager that he
would lead the republicans again the
next year.
He did not He was not a posi-
bility when choosing day arrived, al
though by that time he had made it
known that he was in sympathy again
with the republican policies. 1t was
clear that, so far as he was concerned,
bull moosery had been shelved; and he
supported the nominee of the repub-
ican convention.
There had been but little talk about
Charles E. Hughes, then a member of
the Supreme Court. His strong quail
ties were conceded, but doubt existed
as to whether he would care to leave
the bench to re-enter politics. At the
convention his name led all the rest.
He might have had the nomination on
the first ballot.
Today, sixteen months before con-
vention time, the republicans are con-

be leading them all, is dead. 1t is

The President is now a skillful poll
tician, knows how to employ all the
prestige of his ofhce, and should he try

Strangely enough, all things consid-
cred, Mr.. Taft's stock seems to be ris-
ing. His name is frequently men
toned when his party's need for next
year is under consideration. He is not
connected with the matter in any way.
It is announced from New Haven that
he will resume his duties as law lee
turer at Yale University next fall.

POLITICS AT HOME
No Roosevelt Legatee.

If Theodore Roosevelt had lived, and
his boom for the republican nomina.
ftion for President had languished
upon whom would his favor for that
honor have faHeng
AS yet, nobody has made confident
answer to this question. When pro-
pounded, it usually provokes discus
sion, but no letter or spoken word ref
cradle to Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted as
bearing on the point. -
Always downright and aggressive
man, he either attracted or repcHed
strongly. He had many differences
with friends and lieutenants, some of
them bitter.
1t was his good fortune, however, to
spend his last days free from expert
ences of this kind. He was at peace
with nearly everybody with whom in
party matters he had clashcd. The few
remaining bull moosers of prominence
who had resented his refusal to lead
them in 1916 had softened their feel
ings toward him. The republicans who
had resented his course in 1912 had
cancelled their resentment in the light
Of his course in 1916. A conspicuous
reconciliation was that between him
and Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt held many conferences
on political matters, and enjoyed them.
Indeed, no man was more welcome at
Oyster Bay, where all men were well
come, than he who had come with
political news and desirous of an opin-
ion about it. He had the right of way.
so to say. The host not only gave at
tention, but detained the visitor until
the topic was exhausted.
StiH, it does not appear that in any
of these numerous conferences Mr..
Roosevelt said or suggested anything
on the subject of 1920 which now that
he is gone is interpretable in behalf of
any republican of presidential size
whose name at present figures in presi-
Dental gossip. He admired Mr.. Root,
Mr.. Lodge, Gen. Leonard Wood, and
several other men very highly, and
paid them compliments in public and
in private.
Nevertheless, it is very likely that
in the republican contradictions about
candidate some weight will attach
to Mr.. Roosevelt's Judgment. Certain
ly no man will be at a disadvantage
who in addition to other merits can
claim the merit also of having been
in Mr.. Roosevelt's confidence, and in
agreement with him on the issues the
war has emphasized. The republican
platform, indeed, will largely reflect
the Roosevelt views.
