lc-as rather dreary attempt TO justify the
administrations foreign policy of timid
sioofness. There is no reason" Mr.

away our helpful influence; and yet his
pnnderous review of the governments
course in foreign affairs shows that, in Il
relative sense, the administration has done
little in this field except "fritter." 1t is inn
portant. OF course, that Panama and Costa
lica should be kept away from each others

settle a thtrty-year dispute between Chile
and Peru. II is also very nice thing to

Is hardly less general among Republican
than among Democratic voters The obvious
course. therefore. is to capitalize this Re-
publican iissa tisi faction TO the fullest on
tent possible. Recourse to tho ballot is
the only effective way by which the be-
trayod public can emphasize its determine
ton 10 bring the government to its true
iunctoning for the common welfare.
For the Democrats TO win control of the
next House would be a long step in the
right direction. 1t would give the party the
opportunity TO present to the country a
constructive program OF Legislative reforms
upon which TO win the presidency in 1920.
Not only so. but a Democratic House would
be able to thwart the administration in
many OF the harmful policies to which it is
committed during the remainder of its Off
Cial life. The apathy of the rank and file
OF Republican voters throughout the coun-
try toward the coming elect ions is general
Tho leaders OF the party already foresec
such a slump OF their normal strength at
the polls next Tuesday that they have re
duccd their claims OF victory in the House
20 a majority OF not over fifty. With the
certainty of their margin OF control being
reduced to this figure. the chances are that
II the Democrats Will turn out at the polls
in their full strength. even this claim cd
margin will be overcome.
ihcic HdS never Deeh Tune Whcn party
ties We're less binding the rank and file
of Republican voters than in the present
campaign This is due. in part to the
effect of the party split in 1912. when the
seed of progressive ideas gained Il firm hold
on individual thought. but more largely
has been caused by disappointment at the
seizure of party control by the reactonary
elements and return to the discredite ed
policies OF the past. This weakness of party
ties the Democrats can convert to their own
advantage if they will but get out and do
the proper amount of missionary work dur

Q ENSATIONAL crimes, coming i'll a sort
~ Of wave, have plunged more or less
thoughtful BaltimorcanS into more or less
profound speculation on causes and cures
Public officials and other leading lights

them to analyzc the matter so as to expose
10 the common view the reasons, main and
secondary, for the epidemic Of lawbreak-
ing, and the remedies that must be applied
The result is not altogether satisfactory
Says one official, Judge Duffy: "Automo-
biles. ! believe. have more TO do with the
tendencies of modern youth toward crime
than any other agency. Most youths know
all about automobiles, and take pride in
Knowing how to run them cxpcrtly and
rapidly. The thought that here is IA swift
means of striking an enemy ana escaping
comes to them naturally. If a boy has a
weak streak il Is In the direction of crime"
The Baltimore Sun, commenting on this
explanation, refuses to commit itself to
the theory that the automobile is III itself
n temptation instead of being merely an
aid, but accepts the finding that ears are
being used as an adjunct to nearly every
one of the more outrageous crimes Of vio-
lcnce"
Though Judge Duffy did not undertake to
show how the automobile may he turned

statement constitutes a rather definite in
dictmcnt Of this modern vehicle In fact

Duny would look with favor upon the aboli-

4 Sad Record

a NEWSPAPER review OF Washngton's
Il traffic accident record for the past
year contains this significant statement:
.. there were more than twice as many
traffic fatalities as there were persons sent
cnced TO jail for violation OF the speed law
and other traffic regulations Sixty-two
persons died as Il result OF this class OF ac-
cdcnts; twenty-eight persons were sent 10
jail for traffic law violations. Altogether,
there were 6,5S traffic accidents in the
city during the year. This total probably
exceeds the average for American cities of
the same class. but it is extremely doubt
ful If the percentage Of Jail sentences is
lower in Washington than elsewhere That
is to say. ono of the most dangerous and
ineXcusablc OF crimes is being met with
hardly more than nominal penalty The
result is too well known to require com
ment.
