POLITICS AT HOME
Woodrow Wilson in Washington.

Whether as lawyer, historian, or
citizen taking a keen interest in poll
tics. Mr.. Wilson is well located in
Washington.
AS lawyer he may be expected to
concern himself with the larger ques-
tions of practice, and they are here.
AS historian. and with the subject
OF the war in view, he will be near
much valuable material. and can as
semble 1t with ease. The public is
hoping for full story from his pen.
AS a citizen. still noting the progress
of things political. he will be on the
scene where large politics is constantly
in evidence. Washington is headquar-
ters. We have politics in this town all
the year round. Now and then some
scornful but superficial person speaks
slightingly Of the capital and describes
it as the poorest place in the country
for political observations. But that
opinion represents either bile or
ignorance. Politicians of influence are
frequently in town, and full OF in.
lOt
Mr.. Wilson can see as many Of these
visitors as he likes. Any or all of
them will be glad to call on him. Even
his political opponents would be glad
to respond to an invitation.
1t Is much to be doubted if Mr.. Will
son is through with politics. Relieved
of the burden of high Office. he will
now be able to give more time to the
game. and appraise at a cleaner value
the moves of the players. After eight
years Of strenuous and conspicuous
playing himself, he must have ac-
quired a passion for the game, which
he could not if he would conquer on
the instant. Better not count Mr.. Viii.
son out until he counts himself out.

Today there is no apprehension,
despite the political revolution that
has just been effected with the change
Of administration. Some Of the higher
officials will be replaced by members
Of the dominant party. But the great
majority of the departmental employees
will remain. and as far as they are
concerned in their work will be un-
aware Of any difference. The govern
ment is immeasurably the gamer in

When the United States was organ

have led to constant confusion. But
quickly there was evolved system

nation.
Every four years the people Of the
country have the opportunity to
change their administrators, and every
two years their legislators. They have
changed frequently, but with all the
changes the fundamental principles of
the American organization have re-
mained. The Constitution has contin-
ued despite amendments as the basic
law. The liberties Of the people are
still guaranteed and safeguarded. The
experiment has succeeded. and the

gent in the world. is competent to de.

@. What are the provisions of the
Constitution relative to the judicial
power?
A. The judicial power is vested in
one Supreme Court and in inferior
courts. The judges are appointed by
the President and hold their offices
during good behavior.
@. What are the powers and juris-
diction of the federal courts?
A. The Constitution provides that
the judicial power shall extend to all
cases. in law and equity. arising
the United States, and treaties made.
or which shall be made, under their
authority; to all cases affecting am
bassadors, other public ministers. and
consuls; to all cases Of admiralty and
maritime Jurisdiction; to contro-
veraies to which the United States
shall be a party; to controver.
between citizens of different states;
between citizens of the same state
claiming lands under grants of diff
ferent states; and between state, or
the citizens thereof: and foreign
states, citizens or subjects.
9. What is accomplished by grant
ing this power?
A. 1t means that the Supreme Court
of the United States Is made the
high guardian of the Constitution SO
that the humblest citizen can appeal
for justice when any law is enacted
or any act committed in violation of
his constitutional rights.
Q. What is treason against the
United States?
A. Treason against the United
States consists only Of levying war
against them. and In adhePing to their

No person can be convicted of treason
unless upon the testimony of two wit
Rssses to the same overt act or upou

"Sloppy Propaganda"

The Leipziger Tageblatt published the
other day an article entitled For
eign Propaganda" i'm which the writer
declares that the success of the meth
DDS reviewed in Sir Campbell Stuart's
book, Secrets of Crewe House," has
resulted in renewed outcry against
the sloppy methods employed by Ger
man foreign propaganda
The writer regrets that there is
strong demand among Germans, espe-
cially those belonging to the parties
of the right, for a methodical and sys-
tematic propaganda of the same kind
by speech, writing, picture and film.
"in order to break down the wall OF
lies with which our enemies encircled
us during six years of work" He cites
the recent revelations of the London
Times of German Vaccinations behind
the Rio Tinto strike as an example
of war psychoSis on which German
efforts might usefully have been en-
ployed
In general. however, the writer is
skeptical about foreign. or rather anti
foreign, propaganda, as the Germans
have hitherto understood it-and ar
rives at the interesting conclusion
that it is not mass. but methods that
count. and that propaganda may be Q

A General Civic Obligation.

The Associated Charities, largest of
Washington's purely local social
agencies. today appeals to the city
for funds with which to carry on it's
share of the work Of driving distress
from the National Capital. With $780,
900 needed If the work of the organ
ization is to be continued. it seeks an
increase Of from 5000 to 10000 in its
list OF subscribers. Convinced Of the
need that this vitality important agency
must in the public interest continue to
function Cand that this conviction is
justified no one familiar with local
sociai-welfafe conditions can doubt,
the board seeks to make that end pos
sible by distributing the burden of
financial support as generally as may
be throughout the city.
Three thousand Washingtonians
have borne that burden or privilege
in the past. And whether regarded as
a privilege or burden the distribution
has been unfair. The Associated
Charities is Washington's principal
agency for family welfare work. That
work covers the city. Without dis
tinction as to race or creed or color,
wherever q Washington family needs
capable. experienced and sympathetic
aid, the Associated Charities aims to
supply It. That it be accorded the
support essential II that aim is to be
realized is a matter Of interest. not to
a limited group Of Washingtonians,
but to the city at large.
There is no Washingtonian exempt
from the general civic obligation of
tightening, In SO far as his means will
permit, the burden Of sorrow and dis
tress, hunger and cold, loneliness and
despair which some Of the community
must bear. And so The Star urges a
whole-hearted response to the appeal
now before the city. Say to the As,
