This Year in Virginia.

In the Sunday Stars special from
Richmond mention was made Of the
purpose Of the Virginia republicans to
put state ticket in the field.
The democratic ticket will be headed
by a politician. Mr.. Tucker and Mr.
Trinkle, who are contesting for the
gubernatorial nomination, have had
their training in politics. The nominee,
therefore, will pitch his campaign in
the key with which he is familiar.
This has suggested to the repub.
licans the advisability of putting up a
business man-some representative of
the business spirit of the state, who
has improved the business oppor-
tunities Of the state, and impressed
himself on the people as q successful
man Of affairs. There are a number
Of such men in Virginia who muster
under the republican banner. and are
personally very popular.
Well. why not? We are told that
the people everywhere this year are
more inclined to discuss business than
politics: that they want a straight and
sure, II not a short, path. laid to
prosperity again. Why not test the
strength of this feeling in the Old
Dominion? While Mr.. Tucker or Mr..
Trinkle, as the case may be, is dis
cussing politics and appealing for
votes in old political terms, why should
not his republican opponent discuss
business, and with special relation to
its revival at home. and for that mat
ter throughout the country? Why
would it not be the best Of politics
thus to get away from politics?
1t might not win. Virginia is a long
time democratic stronghold and gave
Gov. Cox, even IN last years severe
test, sixty Thousand plurality, Still, a
campaign 50 conceived and conducted
would attract general and respectful
attention. and In that way bring Vir.
ginia repablieanism into wider notice
than it has hitherto enjoyed

consideration for the support Of gov
ernment in need of more revenue than
ever before, so important feature of
the problem as revenue derived from
imports has claims upon immediate
attention.
Congress has adopted. and is pro,
ceeding upon, the latter opinion. Hence
the interest felt in all circles. but par.
ticularly in business circles, as to the
terms Of the measure the ways and
means committee will report to the
House, what the House will do with
the measure, and what the Senate will
do with the Houses work.
While the business is not likely to
be disposed of as expeditiously as that
of the emergency tariff measure now
approaching final action, no protracted
delay is expected.

Swatting and Securing for Health

Word has gone forth to swat the fly.
1t seems to be necessary to repeat it
year after year. despite the thorough
ness with which the lesson was taught
some years ago that flies are disease
carriers and that every fly killed early
in the season is. an investment in
safety. ,-
The flies that buzz now are the pro-
creators of the countless progeny of
midsummer. Scientific statisticians
have told the enormous number Of
flies that may be bred from a single
pair in one season, 80 that a fly that
is effectively swatted now means much
more than many times the swatting Of
July or August.
Flies breed chiefly in trash, waste
stuff, usually in the dark, neglected
corners where refuse is thrown and al
lowed to lie. So in addition to swat
ting all the flies that can be seen and
reached householders should clean up
these places and burn the trash. Every
cellar should be secured and white
washed, and every bit of refuse de-
stroyed. This alone will cut down the
fly population by a great percentage.
A fly signifies neglect somewhere by
some one. Let the securing brush and
shovel and the swatter be put to work
at once.

country-the mentally unfit, and the

country-the mentally unfit, and the
physically unfit.
Men and women who either from
hardship suffered under other forms
of government are now opposed to all
forms, or from a study Of the Ameri-
can form have persuaded themselves
that it should be overthrown and force
employed for the purpose. should not
be permitted to set foot on American
soil.
Men and women out of physical
health, or giving signs of break
down, should not be allowed to land.
Physical strength was never more Sc
sential in this country than now. In
creased productivity is certain to fol-
low the present slackness; and then
those who work with their hands or
with small capital will have to hump
themselves in order to keep up with
the procession.
A more rigid inspection of foreigners
with their hearts and minds set Amer
icaward is necessary on every account,
and Secretary Davis is well advised
in his purpose to institute it.

Berlin in Yielding Mood.

A combination has been formed in
Berlin to give support in the reichstag
to ministry accepting the allied
ultimatum and yielding to the terms
of reparations exacted. Various in.
fluences appear to have been exerted
to this end. Most potent, however, it
would seem, was that of the industrial
leaders. headed by SHINES, to whom
the thought of the French occupation
Of the Ruhr district is unbearable.
Whether the new ministry can be Or
Ganized in time to render a reply by
Thursday night is d question. But this
is of no moment, for whether the new
government or the present stOp-gap
ministry holding over from the Fehren-
bach regime formally announces the
German decision. the answer will be
conclusive-as far as a German answer
can be. Possibly. 1t is hinted, the out
going Fehrenbach ministry may actual
ly sign the acceptance, so that the new
ministry. by whomever headed. will
face an accomplished fact for which
it is not directly responsible.
In peculiar way the Silesian situa.
ton IS tied up to the reparations mat
ter. Premier BRAND Of France sent
a formal and very pointed warning to
Berlin against the use Of German
troops in the area of Polish insurgency.
Immediately this was interpreted in
Germany as a hint of a French hope
that Silesia might be taken from Ger
many and an indication Of what will
happen in the west. in the heart Of the
industrial section in case of refusal.
In other words. France is now sus-
pected in Germany Of hoping for re-
fusal to make reparations in order
that more territory can be seized. It
is quite possible that this is far from
the French thought, and that Premier
BRAND has simply proved himself the
better psychologist in bringing about
an acceptance of the allied demands.
Whatever may be the French desire
to trample on German soil and get
the German industries within grasp.
in a spirit of revenge for which there
is abundant justification. France to-
day is in greater need Of assurance Of
payments in reparation. Acceptance
of the ultimatum may be disappoint-
ing in some degree to French patriots,
but it would be gratifying to those who
seek the early restoration of French
economic health.

Announcement is made that the
drafting OF the bill revising the Under

The Salvation Army Lass.

It is probably because she symbolizes
to us pity and understanding and ten.
derness that when we think of the Sal
walton Army we think of the lass who
wears the uniform of that great organ
i2ation. Nor do We so idealiZe her as
to change our symbol from woman
To some cold perfection mrn dare not
draw near To. We see her, i'll our
minds eye, as she is, simple and gen
tie and human, with most Of her beau
" lying in the eyes with which she
meets our gaze. with most of her
strength hidden in the great heart of
her. with most of her power springing
from her eagerness to help mankind.
And seeing. we sense the true sig
nificance Of the organization to which
she has dedicated her life-its cour-
ageous and unfaltering determination
to afford aid and understanding and
inspiration to those who need it most.
She is no stranger to Washington
is the Salvation Army lass. We know
OF her work in the social service CEN
ter, that factory where worn-out furni-
ture and shoes and clothes and men
who think they. too. are worn out. are
again: in the workingman's hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue, and in the hotel
for girls on l. street. We know that
in Washington last year. as a result
Of the work Of the organization which
she symbolizes, S.340 idle men were
given employment, S,S7S homeless
were given shelter, and 28.S3S meals
were given to hungry men, women and
children. We are aware Of these facts
and, as a result of them we have come
to think Of her as one primarily en-
gagged in the task Of giving-the giving
OF her zeal. Of her inspiration and OF
herself to those who. without her.
would too often be lost to faith in their
fellow men and women.
Today she comes to US in another
guise. Primarily the giver. she is now
asking the help of the men and women
of Washington in the task Of raising
tifc lOHu VI Sft,VUV with WHICH tiiV
work Of the Salvation Army is to be
continued here during the coming
year. Yet even in asking for support
for the cause from which none can
stand apart she continues to give
more than she asks. For in SO doing
she gives to over four hundred thou
sand Washingtonians the happy priv
iiege Of becoming, Indirectly yet in a
manner. withal. essential. identified
with her in her splendid work for the
coming year. So it is that. holding out
her tambourine for the dollars Of the
National Capital. she does so proudly
and without fear that you will pass
her by. There are few men and few
women who. knowing the facts, will
deny themselves the deep satisfaction
OF a, least limited partnership in the
vital business which she represents.

The Police Force.

Commissioner Oyster has set at rest
/. reports Of immediate changes in the
police department. rumers of which
have been circulated for some time
past. These tales Of prospective over
turns and changes have been Of mis-
ch!evous effect If not Of purpose. They
have caused uneasiness in the police
department and II, is we'll now that the
Commissioner in charge Of police mat.
ters has specifically announced that
after several weeks Of inquiry he has
reached the conclusion that there is
no occasion for formal investigation.
To very great degree the local well
fare rests upon the efficiency Of the
police department. To the extent that
there is harmony between the branches
Of that department and unity Of pur-
pose between officers the force is ef.
fcient. The personnel is Of an ex.
ceDtionally high grade and the officers
are capable and experienced. There
H. no reason whatever for any failure

police standards.
The District people do not expect
the impossible from the police. They
look for prompt, intelligent enforce.
ment Of the rules and laws and for the
most diiigent work in the pursuit of
!aw-bTeaking. They hope to see the
hiGh standards Of integrity maintained
and the. Washington force kept as free
as in the past from all suggestion OF i'm.
proper influence and undue interest.
