Seeking and Holding Office.

They are off. Mr.. Roosevelt has
started on his western journey. and
Gov. Cox on the journey which before

Connecticut.
Later, they will make other jour
neys. Mr.. Roosevelt will try his voice

day. Neither will spare himself in the
campaign.
These men are young and strong,
fortunately for themselves and their
party. The task they have set them
selves is big. The country is big.
Stamping America may be described
as job and half. And to do it in
less than three months-as the pres
emit job requires-wiil prove very tax

The answer is four years of hard
work-much harder work than stump
ing. The man who occupies the White

dore Roosevelt and MI. Taft found it

burden.

to has been a man of leisure, will un-
der the new order have . stint to do.
He is to "sit in," and help play the
game.

times on two scores. The incumbent
needs to be strong both mentally and
physically. He cannot. delegate his
powers, or "put on SUBJ" but must
be on the job himself all day and
every day; and the very highest i'm
portance attaches to the way in which
he meets his engagements and solves
|, his problems.

feet will merely be that while the
women in twenty eight states may un-
der present state statutes vote on that
day the women in twenty others may
not. But if the decision is postponed
and is adverse, and meanwhile the
women have voted in all of the states
under the supposedly ratified amend
ment very serious condition will pre-
vail. The Supreme Court may by its
ruling invalidate the votes in all of
the states in which the women have
participated. 1t would be impossible
for any returning board or any can
wasting body to differentiate between
the votes of men and women in those
states. and if by the courts ruling
women are not qualified to vote IN
them by state statutes and are not en-
franchised by the as yet unratifed
amendment it would seem that all the
votes cast in those twenty states would
be barred from the official count in
Congress.
Under the practice thus far followed
in the canvassing of the electoral votes
by Congress the decision in this case
probably would be to drop those states
in which unauthorized votes were east
by women. The political effect of this
course is matter of interesting spec
ulation Taking the electoral vote of
1916 as a guide, and assuming that
the states vote in November as they
did then, the electoral vote in the
twenty eight states in which women
are now cnfranchised would be 1853
republican and l47 democratic. On this
basis, therefore, if the women vote in
November on the basis of the supposed
ratification in Tennessee and the court
later holds that ratification invalid and
cancels the electoral votes of all the
states in which they have participated,
the effect would probably be to elect a
republican President, unless material
changes occur in favor Of the demo
cratic candidate from the votes cast
in 1916. which was democratic year.

Gov. Cox and the Issues.

II is stated that Gov. Cox while on
tour will not gcneralizc but specialize.
That is to say, he will accommodate
himself to local interest. If com
mui.itv is most interested in the league
of nations he will discuss that; if in
taxation and the high cost of living
them; if in labor problems, them; if
in railroad transportation, it. And
so on.
This is reasonable and good politics
If community is thinking more about
the league of nations than about the
railroads, why should the candidate in
his address pay more attention to the
latter than TO the former! Why not
meet the popular desire and expeeta-
ton. and discuss the subject upper
most in the minds of those who have
gathered to hear him?
Prohibition may embarrass Gov. Cox.
He avoided that in his speech of ac-
ecptancc And yet there are commu-
mites where that subject tops all the
others. When he finds himself in such
an environment what will he says To
take up the subject and say nothing
definite would proclaim timidity and
prove injurious. To take it up and
take sides definitely would estrange the
side rejected.
Still, in the main, Gov. Cox is we'll
advised in the plan he has adopted.
Interest is divided among a number of
issues Here. labor is strong, and dis
contented about wages and conditions
of employment. There, capital is
grumpy about taxes and uneasy about
investments. Yonder, men are hoping
that the last war has been fought, and
proposing that the nations disarm and
associate themselves together for the
preservation of peace. And the plat
form on which Gov. Cox is standing has
something to say on all the issues that
enter into the campaign.

Maintain the Present Standard +!

A reason for maintaining the pres
ent 130foot maximum height for
buildings in downtown Washington un
der the new coming law lies in the fact
that by conforming in the regulations
under the new statute to the ex-
listing height standard it becomes more
fixed and definite and makes for future
uniformity and not for irregularity.
If this maximum height is changed now
to ITO feet what assurance is there that
in a few years it will not be changed
again either up or downs
If the present maximum of 100 feet
were excessive and produced the chasm
effect of some northern cities where
no height limits have been fixed in
the past, there would be reason for
modification to prevent the further de-
velopment of this tendency. But on
the streets of Washington, which are
broad as rule, and which have wide
sidewalks, $50 feet is a safe, normal
maximum that can never be cause of
objectionable construction, as expert
enee during the maintenance of that
rule shows.
1t is to be urged, again, that change
Of 20 feet in the maximum will def
nitely and surely make for irregular
ity, Inconvenience and loss to prop
erty owners, without any compensation
gained to the city in appearance or in
safety. So why, then, change now and
thereby invite future changesi Let
the standard of building heights be
Kept as it is for all time, and let Wash
ington grow definitely to that point
and it will be a far more attractive
city and no less safe city than if the
maximum is now reduced and an I'm
stable standard is thereby established
