CONDUIT ROAD TRAFFIC
REGULATIONS ruling
Secretary of Wars Query Seeks to
Clear Up All
Doubts.

The Secretary of War has asked the
Attorney General for an opinion at
to whether any additional legislation
is necessary for the more efficient en-
forcement of existing regulations gov
erning traffic on the Conduit road over
the Washington aQueduct from Fox
hall road. Georgetown, to Great Falls
Under these regulations the maxi
mum speed on that part of the road in
miles an hour, while the speed limit
on the section in Maryland is regu-
lated by the speed laws of Maryland.
These regulations are based on the
act of Congress approved September l,
1916. So far as the section of the
road in Maryland is concerned the
regulations are administered by the
United States commissioner for that
district of the state. Questions have
arisen recently as to the jurisdiction,
duties fees. etc. of the Maryland COM
missioner and 1T has been intimated
that he has no authority to enforce
the payment of fines or sentences of
Imprisonment for violations of the
traffic regulations.
The Army engineer in charge of the
District water supply system. of
which the Conduit road is a part, has
prepared the draft of bill to clear
up all doubts on the points at issue.
The judge advocate general of the
Army, however, is of opinion that it
is possible to enforce the traffic regu-
under existing statutes. In view of
the conflict of opinion on the subject,
the Secretary of War has asked the
Attorney General for an opinion as
to the necessity for further legisla-
ton and if he thinks there is he is
requested to submit a draft of an act
that will meet the necessities of the
situation.

DEMOCR ATS GIVE ATTENTION
TO CANDIDACY OF GOV. COX
Party Leaders Fail to Take Kindly to
Hoover Talk, While Other Pos
sibilities Face Difficulties.

1t would be unwise to pick a man
from a republican state, which even
his personality might not be able to
swing. and second. that it would be
waste of political material to choose
a candidate from a surely democratic
state. One rule would hit Mr.. Palmer,
the other Mr.. Underwood, it is held.
Ohio Classed as Doubtful.
Ohio is now classed as a doubtful
state. 1t has a democratic governor
and one republican and one demo-
cratic senator. with the delegation in
the House divided. 1t is urged that
neither party can justly assert claim
to the state presidential election.
Ohio's forty-eight votes in the cleo
toral college constitute a valuable
tory, in event Of an election as close
as that of 1916.
If the republicans. holding their
convention first, should nominate Sen
ator Harding as their candidate for
the presidency. many democrats con-
tend that the democratic party would
be compelled to nominate Gov. Cox
from the same state, unless Ohio were
to be allowed to go to the republicans
by default, and that suggestion is un-
thinkable, it is said, in the circum-
stances.
Cox 1S Vote Getter.
Gov. Cox has demonstrated his abil-
ity as a vote getter." his friends de-
clare. He is said to be acceptable to
labor. When the government finally
caused the coal strike to be called off.
Gov. Cox had practically completed a
settlement between the Ohio miners
and operators. At a recent nation
wide convention of coal miners in
Columbus he delivered an address
which is claimed to have scored a hit
with the labor men and which was
regarded as sounding the keynote of
his presidential campaign. Gov. Cox,
it is said, has managed to steer a
middle course in the troublous seas of
wet and dry" agitation in the
Buckeye state and has not brought
down the wrath of either faction to
any considerable degree.

The Senate this afternoon passed a
bill increasing the pay Of the commits
stoned and enlisted personnel of the
Army, Navy. Marine Corps, coast

While the increase in money salary
to the officers is only 10 per cent, in
reality their increased compensation will
amount to 81 per cent. in view of the ra-
ton and commutation allowances.

possible presidential ticket. are pay
ing attention to the candidacy of Coy

To the aforesaid embarrassments

the uncertainty regarding President

Speaking broadly the picture thea.
tiers are filled because they give the
people what they want, and the
churches are untitled because they
do not give the people what they
want. This is elementary knowledge,
evident to everybody. But when it
comes to the question what the
churches can, consistently with their
mission, give to the people which the
people want, opinions differ, and no
one seems sure. The world gives
many things which the church can
not; and when people turn to the
church, it is for things that are not to
be elsewhere gained. The church can
give truth. This is really its stock in
trade, its legitimate and exclusive
