tity in Ohio, nor Mr.. Gregory IN
Texas. Mr.. Glass was very prominent
in Virginia politics. and Mr.. Palmer
in Pennsylvsnis politics. But Virginia
was already safely democratic, and
Pennsylvania a. safely republican.
This record makes speculation about
Mr.. Redfeld's successor difficult. The
rules Of the game, SO to say. call for
q man Of influence in party circles
and practiced in the use of it. Par
ticularly is this true If Mr.. Wilson
is to try his fortunes again next year.
If candidate, then, he will need all
the assistance he can command; and,
of course, the nearer his assistants are
to him tho better they will be able to
serve him.
But, as already stated, Mr.. Wilson
does not play the game according to
Hoyle. He makes his selections &C.
cording to ideas Of his own. he
makes his own rules, and presumably
viii continue to do so.
Interest in the filing Of this latest
vacancy is the greater because OF the
increased importance of the Office as
the result of the war. The secretary
ship OF commerce. now takes q place
am ong the foremost commissions under
the government. As The Star said
Sunday, commerce is king. And it is
king in a much larger and more com
prehensive sense than cotton ever was
IN the old days. We are now looking
to commerce to set us on our feet and
pilot US to Easy street again.

The Zone Bill.

A hill was passed by the House yes
terday which should have been en-
acted into law long ago, for the regu-
lation of the height and use Of build
ings in the District. This measure,
known as a zoning bill, has been ap-
proved by the House upon the full in
dorsement Of the Commissioners and
representatives Of citizens organiza-
tons. It establishes q commission
consisting Of the District Commission
ers, the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds and the super
intendent Of the Capitol, who will pass
upon questions relating to construc-
tons. The city is to be divided into
zones to be known as height, area and
use districts, which once established
cannot be changed except by the COM
mission itself after a public hearing.
When thus established these zones
will be protected by regulations which
will prevent further encroachments Of
business into strictly residential areas,
and, within the business districts. will
tend to uniformity in constructions.
Foreign cities of comparable size
have had the benefit Of building
height laws for so long that they are
now much more attractive in gen.
eral appearance than Washington in
the matter of what is known as the
"sky line" They have developed uni
formly, whereas Washington without
such rule has grown up irregularly,
according to individual taste and me-
cessity and resources, until the upper
outlines of the streets are jagged and
inartistic.
In the matter Of business develop
ment the city has grown without rule
and with little regard to residential
restrictions. Trade has normally fol-
lowed the street car lines and some of
the finest residential streets in the
city have been spoiled in consequence.
In few outlying sections covenants
running with the land have for time
checked business incursions, but these
have broken down in the course Of
years until there is no assurance of
immunity from trade invasion any
where. Under the coming law there
will be protection from this tendency.
Washington win be . more har-
monious and attractive city with this
law in operation and carefully admin
istered. The pity is that it was not
enacted half q century ago.

Improving.

Tho world, or that important part
of it called tho United States, is feel
ing better today. It cannot be said
| that the economic disturbances which
have upset the nerves of business
have wholly subsidized, but things seem
to have considerably Gained down.
The strike fever is not at so high a
temperature as it was few days ago.
Cooling counsel seems to be having
an efficacious effect and more and more
men seem to be thinking the very
sound thought that the best way to
make money either in wages or sal
aries is to keep at work turning out
the goods. There seems to be a wider
appreciation of what many eminent
men in various lines of industry have
been saying, that the solution of high
prices thercause for most Of the pres
emit unrest-lies in increasing the out
put of goods. That means more work
and not less work. Increasing the
output Of goods can also be aided by
bringing down the consumption of
goods by applying the principles Of
economy and thrift. Too many peo-
pie are now engaged in the pleasant,
luxurious and senseless practice Of pro-
ducing as little value and consuming
as much as they can.
1t is everybody's business to help
the country get back to state of nor
NAL. Even during the stress of war
the "work and save" spirit of the peo-
pie kept things going at fairly salts
factory rate. Many things are now at
6's and rs because in too many Of us
the 'swork and save" principle has been
superseded by the crest and spend"
spirit.

Washington's interest in the grand
review of the LIST Division that is to
take place on the 18th was strikingly
manifested yesterday when the entire
supply Of seats in the reviewing stand,
numbering 5000, was exhausted within
two hours. The sale Of the last ticket
left great number Of people disap-
pointed. Several times the aecommo-
dations planned could have been dis
posed Of ON the first day Of the sale,
and now it is proposed to increase the
seating capacity somewhat to meet the
wishes Of the public in . measure.
It is now assured that the grand re-
view q week from tomorrow will be
one of the most impressive spectacles
Washington has ever witnessed. The
presence Of Gen. Pershing, just re-
turned home after his service in
France of more than two years, would
of itself afford an occasion Of impor-

The President and the Cabinet.

| The President and the Cabinet.
Mr.. Redfeld's retirement will marx
the sixth change in the Presidents OH
cial family.
In forming his cabinet, Mr.. Wilson
did not follow conventional lines.
That is to say, the members, with but
one exception, were not chosen be-
cause of political @pull," and what
such "pull" might be expected to yield
the administration.
Neither Mr.. MeAdoo nor Mr.. Red
field had been prominent in demo-
cratic organization circles in New
York Both stood high as men of
ability, Mr.. McAdoo more in business
than in political circles, and Mr.. Red
field with short service in Congress
to his credit. But neither had any

liver.
Neither had Judge Garrison Of New
Jersey, Mr.. Burleson Of Texas, Mr..
NcRsynolds Of Kentucky, Mr.. Daniels
Of North Carolina, Mr.. Wilson of
Pennsylvania, nor Mr.. Houston of
Texas and Missouri.
The exception, Of course, was Mr.
Bryan. a national figure and infiu.
ence, to whom Mr.. Wilson was deeply
indebted, first for his nomination, and
then considerably for his election, to

Pershing and Dewey.

Gen. Pershing finds the country in
enthusiastic humor toward him. New
York is expressing i first, and ex-
pressing ( well. In eew days Wash
ington's turn will come, and bis re-
ception here will be in full keeping
with the general spirit awakened by
his return. Later still, he will appear
elsewhere, and everywhere he appears
will be manifested the admiration in
which he is everywhere held.
It is the soldier that is acclaimed.
Gen. Pershing returns wearing many
fsurels. France, where they were won,
snd England and Italy and Belgium,
which shared in the fruits Of his
achievements, have bestowed honors on
him. His own country will "see" all
that they have done, and ego" them
better. And he deserves all that he
will receive at his country's hands.
In time, however, and maybe soon,
the politicians will begin to appraise
the hero for their purposes. His name
and fame have entered into political
calculations. There is a Pershing
presidential boom, and much curiosity
~ to how the generals return will af-
feet it. As yet, he is not Gin the
hands of his friends" but in his own
hands. How strenuously will they
strive to get him into their handsf
When Admiral Dewey returned from
the Philippines he was received with
every show of enthusiasm. New York
had the first chance at him, and i'm
proved it. Later, Washington gave
him welcome in a style which for
heartiness and sincerity left nothing
to be desired. The town turned out
in his honor, and staged a reception
memorable in a local history replete
with demonstrations in honor of ma
tional figures. And everywhere the
great sailor went the public manifested
the Eveliest interest in him.
In time, and soon, some very clever
politicians sought to utilize for their
purposes the admiral's name and fame.
A presidential boom for him had been
started before he sailed from Manila.
Now, it was made to boom louder than
ever.
But Admiral Dewey kept his head.
He gave no countenance to the move
Ment. He neither encouraged nor re-
buked it. Left thus to its authors, it
did not thrive, and soon disappeared.
Tho pressure on Gen. Pershing may
b. stronger than that brought to bear
on Admiral Dewey. The conditions
Eeadiherent. In 1900 Mr.. Mckinley
dominated the republican situation,
and Mr.. Bryan the democratic situa-
ton. The desire was to defeat Mr..
Bryan for the nomination with the ad-
miral It could not have been done.
To-day, Mr.. Wilson dominates the
democratic situation, while nobody
dominates the republican situation.
Hence, the Pershing boom is Of re-
publican origin, and intended to sup
ply q want.

OF the world in the same general direction,
paralleling the courses OF the Karluk and
Jeanette. Late in February, 1919, Stef-
ansson expects Storkersen TO arrive at q
point about 200 miles from the New Sfber-
Ia Islands.
Stefansson after regaining his strength
made his way from Alaska back 70 the
east. He has just completed making his
report to the Canadian Government Con-
corning this Quickest adventure OF the
Arctic regions he said:
"Nansen was the first man that ever
thought about drifting across the Polar
Sasin. He went into the ice north OF

years in the vicinity Of Spitzbergen.
Another vessel had done a similar
thing involuntarily more than a decade
earlier. The Jeanette, bearing an Amer
lean expedition, commanded by Lieutenant
De Long, of the American navy. froze into
the fee north OF the Boring Straits and
drifted northwesterly until crushed after
two years in the vicinity where hansen
deliberately put his vessel into the ice
few years later.
''In August. 1913 the KGrluk. Of the
Canadian Arctic expedition, also com
menced an involuntary drift. Frozen In
the ice about $50 miles west OF the mouth

north OF their course as the starting point

I formed then the plan OF striking out

sending them back he took observations
for latitude and longitude, and then re-

the drift would be. Similar observations
