Motor Reciprocity.

Some progress is being made toward
a state of reciprocity between Mary
land and the District in the matter of
automobile licenses. A bill is now be-
fore the Governor of Maryland await
ing his signature which, while it will
not effect any saving to motorists, will
permit the issue of joint licenses for
the two Jurisdictions. At present a
local motorist must get both District
and Maryland licenses if he expects to
travel into the state. This is a nui-
sance. There is NO real reason why
there should not be as full reciprocity
between the District and Maryland as
between the District and Virginia, save
that Maryland has much better roads
than Virginia and wants the District
motorists to contribute, through their
license fees, to their maintenance and
extension Perhaps that is a good rea-
son from the Maryland point of view,
but it is not applied elsewhere.
With the Metzerott bill which is
about to become a Law as a starter,
why should not Maryland move toward
full reciprocity with the District It
is about a fifty fifty proposition. Wash
ington's streets are used by the Mary
land motorists practically as much as
the Maryland reads are used by the
District motorists. If each side will
remit the license fees obtained from
the other there may be a loss to each
in the first instance, but q net gain.
There will assuredly be a better feel
ing and much less complication and
trouble.

A District Death Trap.

The Langdon grade crossing has
taken two more victims. A yard en-
CINE shifting freight cars struck a
gravel truck that had reached the
tracks when the clear signal was given
and the gates were raised and two men
were killed and one seriously injured.
The gateman says that he got the sig
nal. The engine rounded a curve 60
ing, it is said, at the rate Of forty
miles an hour. This speed may be
doubted if the engine was actually
engaged in shifting cars. Whatever
the speed, however, and whatever the
nature of the work in hand, the fact
remains that the truck was admitted
to passage across the track and was
hit. This may happen any time at
any grade crossing. Gates are no pro-
lection. Signal bells are even less
Of safeguard. Yet there are several
of these death traps still remaining in
the District, and they score their vic
tins numerously, and will continue to
do so as long as they are permitted
to remain. It is shameful reflection
upon the District that these places
should be tolerated. Millions Of dollars
were spent in eliminating grade cross
ings within the city when the railroads
were joined in the Union station, after
many years of slaughter at street cross
ings. Aul yet with all this elaborate,
expensive equipment, these outlying
danger points remain unSnarded save
by fimsy barriers operated by hand
and most undependable even to indi-
cate conditions. How many more lives
must be sacrificed before this condi-
ton is cured throughout the District

Bituminous Coal Prices.

Instructions issued to federal district
attorneys by Attorney General Paine,
that they shall receive and consider
complaints Of profiteering in bitumin.
GUS coal give hope to consumers of this
essential commodity that they shall
not be held up by an unfair and un-
necessary increase Of price by coal op-
orators or by combinations Of coal
dealers.
The report has gained circulation
and has been given credence that the
price of bituminous coal will be in
creased from 60 cents to $1.25 per ton
as one Of the consequences of the coal
strike settlement. The Attorney Cen
eral computes that if the whole wage
increase were passed on to consumers
the advance in price would be only 40
cents per ton. The efforts of the De-
partment of Justice will be directed
toward making the operators them
selves absorb a part of the wage in
crease.
The Attorney General meets the ale
CATION that marked raise in the price
of coal is justified by a demand for
10O,0oo,000 tons for export, by the
statement that the port facilities of
the United States are capable of han.
ding only 100000 tons a year, OF
8 per cent Of the national output, and
that this cannot fairly be made a rea.

It would be idle to say that there is

proposed. Both are old parties as par

changes were not necessary, and es-

Joint Debates.

As yet, in the spirited drive for the
Chicago nomination, there has been
but one joint debate. Gen. Wood and
Senator Poindexter took each others
measure at an arr 1ged meeting in
South Dakota. It was a .:,ange match
the trained soldier and Impractical
disputant against the skilled lawyer
and trained speaker. Reports Of the
debate sent abroad were meager, and
it would be unfair to gauge the debate
by the result at the polls. Gen. Wood
had the state sewed up before the
Washington senator took the stump.
Joint debates seem to have gone out
Of fashion. And yet, at one time, they
were "all the CO." All sorts Of subjects
were discussed in public in the cut
and-thrust fashion. Even theological
subjects were levied upon. That WAS
the time when America figured in the
cynicism Of q visiting Frenchman a
