evidence in next years campaign. In
just what shape they will be presented
has yet to be determined. That will
depend on what Congress does, or re-
fuses to do, at the regular session.
The south, along with the north, is
interested in those issues. Railroad
transportation is a big problem with
her. An American merchant marine.
serving large export trade, would be
very welcome at her numerous sea-
ports. A new tariff, carrying protec-
tion fairly distributed. would be very
welcome to her many manufacturers.
So that, as matters now stand,
changed as they have been by the war.
an invasion of the south by the re-
publicans next year would not wear
the aspect of wild goose chase. Sen
timent has not been taken there on
any of the changes the war has
and cannot be until both the
presidency and Congress are put into
the scale to be weighed according to
new standards and Interpretation of
things.

An October Summer.

It is persistently reported that the
Gulf stream is overheated and that
from it are flowing the hot winds that
are giving the eastern part Of the
country its October warm wave. Mar
iners are telling tales Of almost boiling
water in the stream. Nobody seeks
to account for the heat Of the stream.
Somebody may find that there is a
hitherto hidden connection between
that mysterious current in the sea
and the sources Of the earth's heat,
some volcanic contact somewhere. If
so, the present alleged overheated
state Of the Gulf stream may be in
cident to q sudden outbreak Of seis-
mic activity, not yet disclosed, unless
it be in such remote quarters as
Hawaii, where Mauna Loa is erupting
with disastrous results. Whatever
the cause, this early October heat is
sufficiently unreasonable to cause a
revival of the often asserted theory
that the seasons are changing. The
comparatively low temperatures Of
the summer just past, however, have
to be compensated for somehow, and
perhaps the Gulf stream is contribut.
ing to the balance.

Automatic Train Stops Required.

.
About six weeks ago q rear end COL
lision occurred on the West jersey
and Seashore railroad, near Elwood,
N. j., causing the death Of one pas
senger, a resident Of Washington, and
the injury Of twenty-five passengers
and one employe. The wreck has been
fully Investigated by the railroad com.
pany and BY the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The conclusions vary
somewhat as to the cause, but there
is no question that the collision was
the result Of incompetent train op.
Grafton and protection. The report
Of the chief Of the commissions bu.
reau Of safety states that the wreck
was due to the failure Of the engineer
Of the colliding train to observe and
obey automatic block signal indica.
tions and the failure Of the hagman
Of the train ahead to provide ade.
quate protection to his train.
Here, then, is another railroad
wreck which can be ascribed to pre-.

Muddled Economic Thinking.

A phenomenon of times like the pres
ent is that great many persons who
have neither training nor talent for
consideration of economic questions
become fred with ambition to do the
worlds economic thinking for it. The
result is an output of theories fearful
and wonderful to behold.
One Of the latest and most curious
Of these outgivings is a propaganda
campaign which has "Stop Buying" for
its slogan. Its purpose is to persuade
the American people to pledge their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor that for q given period-three
months apparently being the period
most favored-they will buy nothing
at all except under the corhpulsion of
absolute necessity. Proponents Of the
scheme have convinced themselves by
some process Of mental legerdemain
that, carried out with thoroughness and
efficiency, such program would bring
the cost Of living down with a rush
and cure all the economic ills that a
sorely afflicted people is heir to.
It may be admitted that their pro-
gram would bring down the cost of
living, and it would bring down quite
a number Of other things as we'll. One
of the things it would bring down
would be very considerable part Of
the entire American industrial fabric,
in the debris Of which the amateur ye-
formers and their deluded followers
would be buried beyond hope of
resurrection.
At time when the entire economic
structure is so badly out Of balance
that push in the wrong place at the
wrong time is likely to send the whole
thing topping, the fool-killer ought to
be on the job day and night.
IF the energy and enthusiasm going
into the "Stop Buying" campaign were
diverted to q movement which had
fGet Your Moneys Worth" as its OBJ
jective, there would be both sense and
safety in it. It is as plain as tho nose
on the face Of an elephant that foolish
and extravagant buying, buying with.
out regard to worth or price, is q large
contributing cause to the present high
cost Of living; but to advise people to
stop buying altogether is as non
sensical as it would be to urge a man
to cut of his leg to cure q bunion
on. his toe.

Honoring Our Dead in France.

The War Department is dealing
promptly, and in painstaking and
adequate manner, with the military
cemeteries in France. The men who
gave their lives for civilization are to
have their personal, individual memo
rails in the land they fought to save.
These memorials are to be erected in
cemeteries we'll designed and well
Suresnes and st. Mihiel will come to
be as familiar to American ears as
Arlington now is. Thither American
travellers will make their way as Wis
itors now resort to Arlington; and on
each recurring Decoration day pious
Americans abroad will gather to do
honor to their country's dead, as they
honor the heroes who sleep in the ma
tional cemetery Of our own land.
All the lessons learned in caring for
our own national cemeteries, together
with suggestions coming from British
and colonial solutions of similar prob
lens, are being considered by the War
Department in dealing with this sacred
subject. The feelings that prevail in
regard to the dead are among the
tenderest of human emotions, and no
memorials that shall be erected in the
United States, no matter how artistic
or how costly, will express the depth
of sentiment which these French mill
tary cemeteries will express. To have
the name Of a son, a father or
brother carved on an individual stone
erected on the field of honor is as
near a title to nobility as one can
attain in this democratic land. Death
comes as the great equalizer; SO Off
Ger and private-soldiers both-are to
have equal recognition in those far
flung, white-uniformed ranks drawn
up for the last parade.
In time. trees arching over the
graves will bring that solemn peace
which is the pervading spirit Of Ar
ihgton; and at appropriate places in
the design memorials expressive of
the sentiments and ideals which took
our boys into the war will be set up.
These should be (and they probably
will boy designed and executed by the
most competent Of American sculptors.
The War Department has asked the
cooperation Of the Commission Of
Fine Arts in securing adequate land.
scspe and sculptural treatment of the
cemeteries, to the end that in q land
where art is the priceless inheritance
of the ages, and where taste has been
most highly developed, the American
fields Of honor shall express to the
fullest degree and in the most lasting
manner the feelings Of respect and
reverence which the people Of this
country feel for the flag and for those
who fell in its service.

protection that has been proved time
and again to be unreliable and imper-
feet, It is simply one Of many. For
tunately, it did not cost 4 heavy loss
of life. Other wrecks, due to the
same cause, have been more disas-
trous. The sum Of the sacrifices to
the untrustworthy automatic block
signal system constitute heavy toll,
a terrible waste Of life which could
have been prevented through the
adoption of a system of train control
that has been proved to be effective
and that leaves nothing to the chance
of individual negligence.
Chief Borland of the commission 3
safety bureau thus puts the case in
his report on the Elwood wreck:
"This incident again directs atten-
ton to the necessity for the use of an
automatic train control system which
will operate to control train when
ever for any cause an engineman fails
to see or heed danger signal indica-
tions. The necessity for device of
this character has been repeatedly
pointed out in previous accident re-
ports, recent reports of this nature be-
ing those upon the accidents at Fort
Washington. Pa, on the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, and at South
Byron, N. Y, on the New York Central
railroad. In view Of the accident rec
ord of the last several years, which in.
cludes many accidents of this charac.
ter on roads where the best trained
and most competent men are employed
and modern signal apparatus is in use.
it is believed that failures of the hu-
man element in connection with train
operation such as led to this accident
cannot be fully checked and provided
against except by the use Of an auto
matte train control system to supple-
ment existing automatic block signals
for the purpose Of compelling obe-
dience to signal Indications"
Whether the government continues
to hold the roads or turns them back
to their owners the installation of the
train stop should be under
taken promptly. There can be no
justification for the continued sacri.
fee Of life for the lack Of expendi-
ture.

The South and Business Issues,

the democracy has for a long time

POLITICS AT HOME
Ohio and the Presidency.

Senator Harding's home friends are
booming him for the presidency, and
would be glad of a public word Of en-
couragement from him. But he de-
clines to give it. He is, he tells them
| a candidate for reelection to his
present Office.
This. however, is not likely to dis
courage the Harding men anywhere
and they are found elsewhere than in
Ohio. They can, and probably will
continue their booming. It will not
be difficult to arrange matters if they
succeed. In case of success, the sen
ator, will, of course, accept the presi-
dental nomination, and some other
man be chosen to carry the repub-
lican senatorial banner. If they fail,
the senator can continue in the race
he has begun. He is the leader Of his
party at home, its best orator and
campsigner, and personally popular
throughout the state.
Gen. Garfield, another Buckeye, had
an unusual experience. He was a mem
Der of the House when elected to the
Senate, and senator elect when elect
ed to the presidency. Had he been
defeated for the presidency he would
have appeared in the Senate as one
of the leaders of the opposition to the
Hancock administration. But he won,
and the tragedy Of his assassination
occurred after he had been an occu-
pant of the White House only q few
months.
But Gen. Garfield was not in the
presidential calculation when elected
to the Senate, nor candidate for the
presidential nomination when he re-
ceived it. John Sherman was Ohio's
choice for the honor that year-1SS0-
and Gen. Garfield had gone to the re-
publican national convention at the
head of the Ohio delegation in Mr..
Sherman's behalf. He presented Mr..
Sherman's name to the convention in
a speech Of force and eloquence.
But the convention would not have
Mr.. Sherman. It was in a turbulent
condition, as the result of an intense
wrangle between the friends of Gen.
Grant, who was standing for a third
nomination, and those Of Mr., Blaine.
who was making a second attempt at
securing a first. A compromise was
necessary, and there was earnest
searching for a man who would be
acceptable to both the Grant con-
tingent and the Blaine contingent.
At last it was decided that Gen. Gar
field would fill the bill. As the re-
suit OF eminent service in the House,
he was known and admired through
out the country. He was an orator of
acknowledged power. He had a war
record of merit. His presence was i'm
pressive. His social charm had won
many men on both sides of the
political fence.
Would he have been chosen had he
not been member of the conven.
tionf The weight of opinion is that
he would not; that it was his presence
among SO many of his acquaintances,
and his fine grafton, and his general
carriage in the proceedings, that
marked him for the honor when the
time to choose arrived.

Some Party Problems.

At the recent meeting of the demo-
cratic national committee there was
some discussion Of the rule requiring
a vote Of two-thirds in convention for
the nomination Of q presidential can
didate, and also Of ways and means for
conducting next years campaign. No
action was taken on either matter. Dis
cussion of both will be resumed when
the committee meets in this town in
December, at which the time and place
for holding the next national conven.
ton will be fixed.
Criticism Of the two.thirds rule has
been sharp for some years. Why not
majority rule in this as in other mat
tersi has been the standing inquiry.
This criticism has grown sharper
since the Baltimore convention Of six
years ago, when Champ Clark polled q
clear majority Of the convention, and,
as his friends contended at the time,
was fairly entitled to the nomination
because of that fact. He reached his
peak on the tenth ballot, when he had
two hundred more votes than Mr.. vii.
son. But, later, the two.thirds rule
gave the prize to the latter.
The change Is not urged now solely
In Mr.. Clark's behalf, but in behalf of
ell whose names may be presented to
next years convention if Mr.. Wilson's
name is not presented. The broad
proposition laid down is that If ma.
jority rule is good enough for the
adoption Of platform it is good
enough for the nomination of a candi.
Gate. The debate when it takes place
should be decidedly interesting.
As>for ways and means, and particu.
larly the means, to be employed next
year, we may expect both national com.
mittees to weigh the. question we'll
