The Session and the Campaign.

Two propositions are advanced in
support Of early closing on Capitol
Hill. 4.
One is that thereby senators and
representatives who are candidates to
succeed themselves would be free to
go home and take personal charge of
their campaigns. 1ong-distance work.
whether by mail or wire. is attended
with risk. The presence of the can
didate on the field directing matters
stimulates everybody. His proper
place is there and naturally he wants
to be there.
The second proposition is that. the
sessions record should be complete
before the campaigns for election get
into full stride. II Congress is still
in sesson-plugging away, now in an
obstinate humor about one thing, and
now in an accommodating humor
about another thing-candidates of
the same party may find themselves
at cross purposes on the stump. The
thing to do is to start with the same
appeal for votes, and keep it UP.
Persuasive as both Of these PROPOSE
tions are, however, it is clear that, un-
less the matter can be well managed,
early closing might be expensive for
the republicans, They might find
that they had paid far too much Tor
their whistle, and were whistling in
vain for votes. The appearance Of
having run away from embarrass.
ments-of having put up the shutters
in a state Of helplessness and in a
spirit of disgust-wouId heavily handi-
cap them until, and on election day.
The democrats would stress it from
every stump and voters would be at
tentive to the argument.

War Wounded at the White House.

The assemblage of 1000 disabled
soldiers at the White House yesterday
as the guests Of President and Mrs.
Harding was an impressive occasion.
These men all bear the wounds of war.
Some are permanently disabled, some
are regaininS their full faculties. As
they We're gathered at the White
House. however. they. all displayed a
remarkable spirit of cheerfulness and
philosophy in the face of their physical
misfortunes. If there were any who
were Respondent or low in mind be-
cause of wounds or disease contracted
in their service they were cheered un-
doubtsdly by the many manifestations
of affectionate regard and considera-
tion given by the President and his
wife and by the head of the Army.
1t cannot be said that this country
is neglectful of the men who suffered
in the war. They have received every
possible attention and have been given
the benefit of the most effective aids
to recovery and rehabilitation. They
thoughtful study as to how they
should best be cared for and their
futures safeguarded. Perhaps mis-
takes have been made and possibly
some injustice has been done in a few
instances. The task was a great one
and facilities had to be devised and
quickly provided, leaving much to be
desired at times in details. But on
the whole the government has dis
charged this duty with remarkable
efficiency and with the highest con-
sideration for the welfare of those
who have suffered.
The most gratifying thought in con-
nection with any assemblage Of the
centage Of them are regaining their
health and being restored to virtually
full activity. Wonderful advances
have been made in the matter of cor
recting the evil consequences Of war.
Through surgery, appliances. and es-
pecially through training, practically
all who have survived their hurts
have been or are being put in the
way of self maintenance. Some of
them have found more advantageous
lines of work than ever before. g.,
In definitely human way President
Harding understands the feelings Of
the men who yesterday were his
guests at the White House. He greets
them as friends. as fellows, with a
consideration that IS not pity. but is
sympathy, which is better. Such an
attitude cannot fail to help along
toward the fullest possible recovery
from the depths Of their suffering.

Memorial Bridge.

In The Star yesterday was printed
n letter from the Peruvian ambassa-
dor, Mr.. Pezet, suggesting that the
!, most eloquent memorial to the Ameri.
. cans who served in the late war
would be a bridge thrown across the
Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial
to Arlington. 1t is well that this. sug-
gestion has been advanced again,
though it takes novel form. The
original thought for a memorial bridge
was to symbolic the reunion between
the north and the south. The bridge
would be, 1t was urged, a physical
token Of the political and social re-
union Of the sections. 1t would
stretch from the federal capital to
; the valhalla of America, formerly the
home OF the military chieftain Of the
southern armies. Its use on cere-
monial occasions would bring Ameri-
cans Of all parts Of the country into
harmony with the thought of reunion.
Mr.. Pezet's suggestion is that the
memorial bridge should serve as a
American flag in the late war. This
extends the idea Of the memorial, and
1t may well be considered as rein
forcing thought. 1t comes happily
from one who has in the course Of
his service at this capital as repre-
sentative Of one Of the South Amer
lean republics entered thoroughly into
the American life and has been at all
times understandingly sympathetic
with American ideas. Mr.. Pezet is we'll
quaiif1ed to urge this undertaking.
In a few months the bridge at
Georgetown, which it is hoped will be
known officially as the Key bridge, in
honor of the. author Of 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" will be open, to
public use. Even then it cannot be

Recently a project has been pro

Battleships and Planes.

Successful launching Of a plane
with crew and passengers from the
deck Of the battleship Maryland makes
a definite and important advance in
the development Of the airplane as
naval auxiliary. It IS, indeed, an
achievement Of value in respect to
the commercial use of the heavier
than-air machine. Heretofore only
small. light planes without passengers
have been launched from ships. Now
it is proved to be possible safely to
start service seaplanes from floating
stages, and probably every battleship
will eventually be equipped with the
necessary mechanism for such serv-
ice.
A battleship which carries It's own
high-power, plane greatly increases its
radius Of efficiency. 1t may send out
a scout capable Of flying a high speed
over long distances and returning
with information or transmitting it
by radio. In fighting formation the
destroyers are the scouts Of the feet.
at present. With battleships equipped
with planes for, observation purposes
the radius Of speedy scouting il great
ly widened, for the plane has from
three to four times the speed Of the
fastest destroyer. Moreover. its ability
to rise to a height while the de
stroyer must, Of course. remain at the
surface, greatly extends the. scope Of
observation. Furthermore, the AIR
plane thus carried as an integral part
Of the battleship's equipment in
creases its offensive power through
the use Of bombs. The experiments
conducted a few months ago of the
Virginia capes proved the possibility
of effective bombing from planes.

The Saloon in the Campaign.

In d formal pronouncement Of the
vets this statement appears: I'VE ara
opposed to the return of the saloon,
but we do advocate that beers and
light wines be removed from the pro-
hibitory list"
The reply of the drys is that that
removal will necessarily bring back
the saloon. If the sale OF beers and
light wines is resumed there must
be places ohened for vending them,
and those places can, and will. be con-
verted into meeting places for men

Iy remunerative figures; and once re-
strictions are even indirectly lowered
the manufacture will be stimulated.
The saloon, by name, and as it had
become by use, has no professed
friends among those who are in the
forefront of the wet campaign. Long
before it's doors were closed it con-
noted much that was lowest in life
and demoralizing in wage-earning cir
cles. Good men of easy nature made
retreat there, and wasted money
which should have gone for the sup
port Of their families.
When the campaign for control Of
the next Congress gets into its stride
we shall hear much about the saloon,
how dead it is, if dead at all, and
how it may be brought back to life
and action again.
