"Pu come around this afternoon and
see you again." he said coOlly. "a few
hours in the Tombs will make you see
things differently"
A few minutes later I found myself
ensconced in a cell again, still conf
dent of my speedy release, but some
what puzzled as to what would be my
best method of procedure. l was I'M
acquainted with any lawyers; In fact,
with any one in the whole city with

hope lay in my friend, Detective Cor
man. There was nothing for me to do
but to wait until heard from him.
Fortunately l had had the fore
thought when the detectives were ar
resting me to take from its hiding
place in the bookcase my little hoard
of money. This enabled me to send
out of the prison and have luncheon
brought in. Making myself as com
Portable as possible, sat down to wait
for German, occupying my mind mean
while with thinking of Barbara Brad
ford.
The thing uppermost in my mind
was how to prevent her from being in
any way involved. She must never
know that only by her testimony would
l be able to prove an alibi. Should
she ever realize this, knew that her
sense of justice would make her come
forward and tell the truth, even
though it meant the loss of her own
reputation and the scandalizing Of all
her acquaintances. She must not be
permitted to talk.
She must not even try to see me
while 1 was in prison.

by which l could escape from the laws
tolls without duplicating her vas
through the speedy rounding up of the
band of criminals who / was positive

Sideways and Merger.

Replying to suggestion by a citi-
zen, the Public Utilities Commission
states that in its judgment no attempt
should be made to establish a subway
system in the District until the con-
solidation of the street railway sys-
TENS has been effected. 1t has been
evident for some years that a sub
way is greatly needed in Washington
TO relieve the downtown surface con-
gestion and to permit more rapid
transit on the concentrated trunks of
travel. Various plans have been ad-
yanced for such underground routes.
One of them has been proposed gener-
ally along the line Of 14th street. An
cast and west subway has also been
urged. Tentative plans were. indeed,
prepared a few years ago, and it is
possible that but for the coming of
war some move might have been made
toward their adoption.
In the present situation the utilities
commission is unquestionably sound
in its position that such an expensive

Gonzales Quits Carranza.

Detection Of Gen. Pablo Gonzales,
who commands two regiments Of fed
eral troops and has heretofore been
loyal to Carranza, is serious blow to
the Mexico City government and ma
terial addition to the Sonora revolt.
Gonzales has been a candidate for the
presidency in opposition to Obregon
and Benillas. Recently a conference
was held between the three. men, at
which Bonillas refused to withdraw.
Oregon then fed from Mexico City.
Gonzales withdrew to his post lit
tie east Of the capital, where he held
an important strategic position. b.
nillas has since withdrawn from the
presidential race and now Gonzales
has cast his lot with the insurrec-
tion and is on the move, cutting the
two railway lines to Vera Cruz. This
puts Carranza in most parlous posi-
tion. He has been told by his gen
erals, it is reported, that he must quit
the presidency by the 18th or they
will throw their strength to the oppo-
sition. Gonzales example may precipi-
tate the issue, if, indeed, it does not
cause Carranza's fight from the CAPT
tai. A singular feature of this pres
emit Mexican revolt is that it has thus
far been developed practically with
out bloodshed, no pitched battles hav-
ing been fought. ...

Harmony, or Hades,

There is speculation about boiling,
whether Chicago or San Francisco is
considered. But it is taking no hold
on trained political observers. As they
see matters, it is harmony or hades for
the parties this year. Each has had
a lesson, and severe one.
The democratic party had its lesson
in 1896. 1t divided in that campaign
on the silver issue, lost the election,
and remained out of power sixteen
years. Mr.. Bryan, under whose leader
ship the division occurred, is still a
force in his party, and will be at San
Francisco with a program. He is
tagged as an anti-administration man,
but that does not warrant tagging him
also as a probable bolter. He has ex-
pressed himself so vigorously about
boilers, he is not likely to essay the
role himself except under the most ex
IRENE provocation.
The republican party had its lesson
in 1912. 1t divided in that campaign
on an issue largely personal, lost the
election, and has now been out of
power seven years. Theodore Roose.
welt, who forced the division, and then
led the seceders, is dead. If living, he
would probably have walkaway 70,
the Chicago nomination. Mr.. Taft
who was the victim Of tho division, is
IN private life, and not included in
The calculations this year. He has
borne himself in defeat with a good
nature and an uncomplainingness
which have won for him many compli.
ments.
Boiling in politics is like matri.

Higher Fares, Lower Traffic.

According to present reports the ad-
vance in the street car fare to 8 cents
cash, or four tokens for 80 cents, has
had the effect on both systems Of re-
ducing the volume of traffic. Many peo-
pie are walking In preference to pay
ing the higher rate for riding. just
how the total volume Of traffic will be
affected when the first effects of the
new rate wear off remains to be deter
mined. In every rate advance there
is an immediate disposition to show
resentment and to practice economy.
But after a few days or few weeks
the old habit of car riding usually re-
asserts itself. On the other hand, peo-
pie who have been accustomed to car
riding may adopt the walking habit
permanently when induced to do so
by an increase in fare.
People naturally bark back to the
old six for a quarter rate when they
pay their 80 cents for four tokens and
bewail the advance, sometimes with a
figuring Of percentage. Many make
more fuss over the increase Of few
cents on the days car riding bill than
they do on the advance in prices of
other commodities and services. But
it remains true that at the present
rate Of car fare the weekly family
transportation becomes a heavy one.
For a man and his wife and two chill
dren to go downtown in the evening
and back costs 60 cents, whereas at the
original rate of fare the same trip
would be effected for so cents, with
four tickets over. It is not remark
able that many people are now walk
ing who formerly rode.

No State Socialism,

The Senate commerce committee says
in its report submitting its substitute
for the House merchant marine bill: :
"The sale and disposition of our
ships must necessarily be left largely
to the dissection Of the Shipping
Board. Our ships are the peoples prop
erty. Permanent government owner
ship and operation Of ships is less to
be thought of than government owner.
ship and operation Of railroads, and
should not be adopted as permanent
policy except as last resort"
No comfort in this for the cham
pions of state socialism. It will not
deter them, however, from prosecuting
their work. They cannot hope to ac-
eomplish anything at Chicago, because
the record of the republican Congress
must be Endorsed by the republican
national convention. But they will be
at San Francisco, insisting upon some
expression in the platform giving them
standing in the campaign and encour-
agement for the future.
These men hoped to profit from the
situation created by the war. The
government, for war purposes, had
been forced to take control Of and op-
crate the railroads, and to build and
operate ships. Why, then, it was
asked, should not the government
change control into ownership Of rail
roads, and continue ownership of
American bottoms and go on operat-
ing thems
Congress has answered. The rail
roads have been returned to their
owners, and the ships built by the
government are to be sold to private
interests, to be operated by them un-
der the American flag, and thus in
surfing their availability for govern
ment purposes in case Of war.
Government ownership and opera
ton Of both land and sea transporta-
ton would have been a long step in
the direction Of complete state social
ism. Congress has refused to take it,
and the voters next November are to
be asked to ratify the action Of Con-
gress.

impracticable. The urgent hope of
the District is that the two railway
systems may merge, on terms equita-
BILE to the public and to the present
owners of the lines. With merger
many of the problems that now af-
feet the local transportation situation
would be solved. The disparity be-
tween the two companies in their finan-
cial status would be eliminated. Fares
could be fixed with reference to the
actual cost of transportation. Plans
could be made for future developments.
Washington is certain to grow be-
yond its present size. 1t has now ap-
proximately 100000 people, and in a
very few years will have half mil
lion. More car lines are imperatively'
necessary. Owing to the peculiar con-
dition of business and departmental
activity the traffic is concentrated twice
day within comparatively small
area. 1t cannot be better accommo-
dated than at present by more surface
lines without adding to the conges-
ton in the streets. Subway construc-
tion is thus indicated as practically
the only way to provide for the future,
and, indeed, in large measure for the
present needs of the District. This
fact stands as an additional reason
for the early merger of the two lines,
to permit this important and greatly
needed development to care for the
immediate future.

Flower Thieves.

Despite all the teachings in the pub
lie schools there is shocking amount
of flower stealing and breaking in
Washington. Children go about and
break blooms off plants and shrubs
with little hindrance. Apparently
there is no parental check on this prac-
tice. Much damage is being done at
this time to the lawns and gardens Of
|householders who have a care for the
appearance Of their property and are
doing their best to add to the attrac-
tiveness of the city. Valuable plants
are ruined or set back in their devel-
opment. In some cases the children
do not merely pick single flower or
two, but ravage whole beds Of blooms.
It would seem as though any parent
whose child comes home with flowers
would make q point to know where
they were obtained, and if they were
looted from some ones garden would
severely punish the offender. If this
were done generally the practice would
be checked. The police cannot keep
a continual watch over the yards and
gardens and can usually act as q rule
only after the fact. This is a matter
in which parental cooperation is nee
essary or the people of the city who
wish to add to its beauty will be COM
PEELED to inclose their yards with
walls and fences, and deprive the pub
lie Of the pleasure which is now af-
forded by their blooming gardens and
well kept lawns.
