The Silesian Outbreak.

Polish insurgents in Upper Silesia
are sravely imperiling the peace Of
central Europe. These forces have
refused to accept the findings Of the
allied commission based on the plebi-
scite recently held, by virtue Of which
a portion of the former German area
vas transferred to Poland and a
larger portion to Germany. These
troops, estimated at about 10000,
have occupied all Of the southern por-
ton Of Upper Silesia save a few OF
the large towns, and. according to re-
cent information, are moving north
ward. Italian troops constitute the
chief plebiscite forces in the area, and
a pitched battle has been fought be-
tween them and the insurgents.
The Poles cannot, of course, be per-
mitted to nullify the plebiscite by mill
tary action. The allies must inter-
vene. The peace treaty provides for
the reference of the nationality ques-
tion to a vote Of the people, which
has demonstrated very pronounced
pro-German feeling save in few dis
tricts. II Poland can nullify the
plebiscite through the action Of an in
surgent force there is danger Of
greatly weakening the whole peace
adjustment. The government at War
saw will probably be warned by the
allies to take hand itself and insure
the withdrawal Of these irregular
troops. If that government is con-
niving at the Silesian insurgency it
is playing in bad faith.
Conditions in central Europe are
delicate to the point of almost general
disturbance. Poland is in none too
safe a position on its eastern side to
risk alternating allied sympathy and
support by this extremely foolish
Silesian adventure.

Congress and Summer.

The proposition for a summer recess
is advanced upon two grounds-tD the
weather, and (2 the advisability of
discussing with the home folks the
latest developments in the world sit
uation as they bear upon home af-
fairs.
Washington is not a scorcher in the
good old summertime, but comfort
able place when comfort exists any
where. The summer sessions Of the
past decade did not knock legislators
out, or produce tagged legislation.
Capitol Hill, much the greater part Of
the period, was a cool place. All the
breezes that blew found 1t, and ca
ressed it.
The world situation is such that
important developments may be ex-
pected to continue right along for
months to come. and even longer. We
shall have them all summer, whether
Congress is in recess or not.
Congress has made an excellent
start. In it's few weeks Of action it
has disposed Of several matters Of
great moment, and outlined its pur.
poses as to others. 1t is getting into
a very promising stride.
Hence the suggestion of those who
oppose a recess that Congress had
better keep on while the keeping on
is good. Thus far no great friction
has appeared. The members gathered
expecting to do business, and have
been doing it.
Congress has been getting acquaint-
ed with the President, and the Presi-
dent with it. The outlook is such, in
deed, that if Congress stays on the job
until the job is finished. it will have
something substantial to show for
itself before the snow flies, and which
will count in it's favor in next years
campaign.

Thirty-Three Years of Trolleys.

Celebration in Chicago of the thirty
third anniversary of the installation
Of electric cars in this country is a
sharp reminder OF the really short
period within which this public facility
has been available. A third Of q CEN
tury ago there were only two means
Of motive power in the streets Of
American cities, cable and horse. The
first overhead trolley car was regarded
as very doubtful experiment. The
direst predictions were made regard
ing the use of high.power electric cur
rents. The electricity would escape
and run all over and do all kinds of
damage. 1t did. in truth, do some
damage to trees and water mains, and,
when wires broke. to human beings.
But it was great Improvement over
the old horse cars and even over the
cable.

that the Department Of Justice will

There also appears today a dispatch
from Louisville. Ga. giving an account

their being held without bail pending

A Political Marathon.

AS a rule, they order things soberly
in Virginia, with due regard to cere-
mony and the conventions. Humor is
not a factor in the local equation. Just
now, however, the people are tickled
over an exception to the rule.
A race for governor approaches.
There are two candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination, which is equivalent
to election. Harry ST. George Tucker
is sixty-nine years old. r. Lee Trinkle
is much younger. The Trinkleites
declare that Mr.. Tucker is too old;
that the Office requires physical vigor
and pep" VERY well.' replies Mr..
Tucker in substance. Let me show
how young I am-how much vigor I
still possess. 1 challenge Mr.. Trinkle
to a foot race-two hundred yards
the winner to take the nomination.
Mr.. Tucker is tall and spare-a
racer in figure, and, as his challenge
shows, in spirit. Mr.. Trinkle is short
and rotund-built on anything but rae
ing lines. On the track-even at so
short a distance as two hundred yards
he might prove to be ''roarer."
Will there be a race? 1t would make
for good entertainment. People would
come from good distances to see. 1t
might easily be made national event
"a sort of new and up-to-date Mara
thon. 1t would make prize newspaper
copy-subordinating for the day polo,
tennis, horse racing, and even base
ball. And thus one OF the oldest and
most sedate of our states would give
a pointer to, and might arouse the
jealousy Of, the sportiest Of our COM
monwealths.

deficiencies and Economy.

President Harding's warning 10 eA-
ecutive officers to curtail their esu-
mates for deficiency appropriations
brings sharply to notice the question
of the cost of government. The other
dav Secretary Mellon noted the urgent
need OF economy in departmental ex-
nenditures in consideration OF the state
of the Treasury. Thus the case Is
clearly stated and Congress has ample
warrant for effecting heavy cuts IN
appropriations.
There are two classes Of deficiencies.
One is genuine and the other is not.
The true deficiency is caused by some
change in conditions or some emer-
rency which throws out OF gear early
reckonings of cost or need. A de-
ficiency appropriation which covers
new work or projects is not Justined
in submission.
Sometimes deficiencies are caused
by the refusal Of Congress to appro-
priate sufficiently to meet the require
ments Of regularly established works
and organizations. The executive or
ficers are justified then in going back
for more money. The budget system
may lessen the deficiency evil. 1t GER
tainly should have the effect Of pro-
viding sufficiently for the upkeep OF the
government in regular appropriations.
Economies to the extent OF two or
three hundred million dollars are sug-
gested as possible. These cannot be
effected, however, if the deficiencies
now sought to be filled are for actual
administrative work. for which pro-
vision was only partially made in the
regular appropriations.
The cry Of economy is wholesome
It tends to check extravagant enthusi
asm and enterprise on the part OF new.
ly starting executive administrators
who see opportunities for work beyond
that already laid down. Apart from
the extraordinary war enterprises OF
the government little has been under
taken during the past half decade in
administrative extension. Until the
Treasury has turned the corner, so to
speak, by showing the right sort of a
balance between income and expendi-
ture there can be no new development.
All deficiency estimates for this sort
of work must be pigeonholed.

against the introduction Of the over.
city had combination Of horse and
cable cars-the former on lines that
could not be 'cableized" because Of
curves-and could have had trolley
service long before it was given COM
plete rapid transit equipment. But it
preferred to wait rather than have its
streets gridironed with trolley tracks
and high-current wires and the public
safety menaced. The Star is proud to
have been instrumental in preventing
this imposition and in keeping the
streets Of the capital clear Of high
current wires. The present admirable
system of underground electric con-
duction is the result.
Many cities hold still to the old-style
overhead trolley. 1t is a cheaper
method of construction, and in some
slight degree cheaper in maintenance.
But the merits Of the underground
conduit system are so obvious that
many cities are contemplating over
head wire prohibition and the replace
ment of the Underground" for the
exposed conductor. A city with a
system like Washington is assuredly
safer than one which is threaded
through and through with wires bear
ing deadly currents.
1t was well to give a public demon
stration in Chicago Of the anniver-
sary of the trolley. for it brought WV
idly to public mind the great advance
that has been made in transportation.
People are prone to live intensely in
the present and to forget or to ignore
progress that has been achieved.
