Bloes and Chaos.

The farmers are adjured by their
leaders to vote for ngressional candi-
dates this year solely with regard to
the interests of agriculture. Inter-
rogate aspirants for either House or
Senate on the subject. and pledge
themselves to policies assuring the
farming industry; good profits. Never
mind about where they stand on other
questions. Make sure of them on the
agricultural question.
The ge-earnerS are adjured by
their leaGe~H "a s.ipport only those
candiiairi = .u~a or Senate who
pledge ti!em"rl.'ri to bear labor in
friendly mind ii case of election.
The capitalists are warned by their
leaders that if they do not stand to-
gether in support of candidates for
seats in the Sixty-eighth Congress hav-
ing the interests of capital at heart
they will deserve any unfriendly legis-
lation that body may enact.
The vets are advised to remember
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act. and vote only for candi-
dates who if elected will keep light
wines and beer in view, while the drys
are warned to watch the vets, and
support only those candidates who
agree to keep their faces set against
the drink traffic in all it's forms.
And SO it goes. Glass legislation
seems to be the only wear this year.
What sort of Congress would that be,
and what sort of record would it make,
composed in this way Of blocs, and
pledged to act on the bloc system?
How much more substantial would its
work be than that Of a child building

Maine and November.

Both sides express satisfaction with
the Maine result. Chairman Fess of
the republican congressional commit
tee thinks it is exceedingly good for his
side, while Chairman Rouse of the
democratic congressional committee
finds in it nothing but encouragement
for his side.
While well entitled to their feelings
of comfort, the republicans should not
assume that the figures argue full in
dorsement of their course in office, and
that the combination that put them in
office still holds, and will show itself
again in November.
1t will be safer to assume that the
voters of Maine refused to take snap
judgment on the dominant party; that
they decided to wait until the work
of the congressional session was COM
praisement at the polls.
The situation in Congress cannot
be concealed. The body is behind with
its work. Factionism is active. The
record to date is not creditable to the
party which stands high for discipline
and accomplishments.
But there is time to remedy the
matter. If the republicans will stop
fighting one another and close ranks
for fighting the enemy, they can make
a record which will pass examination
and give them another Congress.
But there is no time to lose. April
is almost here, and midsummer should
show adjournment day in sight. The
sooner. therefore, all faction shindys
are called off. and the responsible
party on Capitol Hill gets down to
gases. the brighter will be the Novem-
ber outlook for it and the country.

Capital Progress.

The monthly meeting Of the Board
Of Trade last night was forum in
which many important subjects relat-
ing to capital betterment were dis
cussed by citizens and by members of
the city's common council, generally
called the Congress of the United
States.
Representative Focht. chairman of
0e House District committee, said
many helpful and encouraging things.
He applied a picturesque and apt
epithet to that staky and antique
structure which spans the deep, wide
valley Of Rock creek on the line of
Calvert street. He called it a rattle
trap" bridge, and expressed the con-
viction that it is unsafe. He expressed
public opinion when he said that it
should be replaced by bridge strong

Army and Navy Reduction.

President Harding has caused it to
be made known that he will view with
grave concern the reduction of, the
naval and military strength of the ma
ton below the margin Of safety for
adequate defense and preparedness.
He thinks that the pending proposals
in the House for Army and Navy per
sonnel do fall below that line. He is
the commander in chief of the Army
and Navy under the Constitution, and
while it is the unquestioned right of
Congress to make the appropriations.
ly the counsel and advice of the COM
mander-in-ch are worthy of con-
sideration by the legislative branch.
The President has pointed out that
dislocate the international agreement
for limitation of naval forces reached
at the Washington conference, by dis
turbing the ratio among the nations
party to it. as fixed by the treaty. 1t
now seems assured that the naval
limitation treaty will be ratified. fol-
lowing favorable action on the four
power treaty, and will take its place
as an important integer in the ad-
mirable structure for peace and eco
nomic advantage erected by the con-
ference.
Will not the House assume a grave
responsibility in virtually multiplying
the effectiveness Of that treaty, so far
as our own protection is concerned,
by destroying the ratio through legis-
lation? 1t is to be borne in mind that
the weakening Of the effect of the
treaty will not disturb the other
parties to the treaty; Great Britain
and Japan will see to it that their
naval strength is maintained to the
full extent permitted by the agree
ment, while the United States will be
placed in a position of distinct disad-
vantage.
four-power treaty carries assurance of
peace and thereby warrants minimized
naval strength. The four-power and
other treaties minimize the possibili-
ties of war, but do not eliminate them,
and the United States must not be
placed in a position as an inferior ma
ton in point Of defensive ability if
war should come.

The Playground Report.

The report of the Department of
Labor on the playground facilities of
Washington, made after a careful sur
vey Of the situation as it exists today
Is necessarily somber-hued. The sur
vey served to establish the fact that
the National Capital is today shame
fully backward in the matter of pro-
viding adequate facilities for the
healthful and secure recreation of its
children. 1t demonstrated that with in
the neighborhood Of 125,0O0 young
sters in Washington, the existing play
1t pointed out the inadequate equip
ment with which the existing play
grounds are supplied, and emphasized
the fact that, owing to the inevitable
overcrowding of the children, full!
benefit cannot be derived even from
such equipment as is available.
The report-drawn up by experts
familiar with playground facilities in
progressive, self-governed communi-
ties-emphasizes the urgent need for
change of attitude on the part Of
those responsible for the healthful de-
velopment of the District children.
Nor is the darkest part of the story
told in the reciting of the truth as to
the immediate shortage in play
grounds. Bad as the existing condi-
tions are, under a continuation of the
current policy Of Congress, they
threaten shortly to become very much
worse.
A large proportion of the existing
Fairgrounds are not owned by the
District. They are located on ground
temporarily loaned for the purpose by
private owners, pending the time when
these owners may advantageously dis
pose of their property. Washington is
rapidly growing community. Dis
trict real estate is becoming increas-
ingly hard to find and easy to sell.
And already the number of play
grounds has been materially reduced
as a result of the natural disinclina-
tion of private individuals to assume.
at a heavy cost to themselves, an
obligation which should properly be
borne by the community and the ma
tion. 1t would seem to be inevitable
under existing conditions that this
process should continue in the future,
and that Washington, as it grows,
should annually find its leaned play
grounds reclaimed for uses more ad-
vantageous to their owners.
There is but one obvious cure for
the indicated condition. The District
must be permitted to secure an ade-
quate complement Of Fairgrounds,
held in its own name. Every process
of logic would indicate the advisability
of obtaining them promptly, while land
for the purpose remains available.

for some time to come. He urged con-
solidation Of the two traction systems.
That is a consummation devoutly to
be wished and consummation which
it is hoped may soon be to the advan-
tage of both systems and the great
benefit of the public.
Mr.. Focht criticised the people of
Washington for being too modest and
too shy in pressing the just claims Of
the capital upon the attention of mem
bers of Congress. The criticism will
be taken by our people in good nature
because it is deserved. We have long
been conscious of this fault, but it is
fault which with the permission of
the membership of Congress we will
correct.
1t was urged that the House ap-
prove the pending provisions for the
acquisition of the klingle Ford, Piney
Branch and Patterson tracts as sup
plements and links in the park system
Of the capital. A representative of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. the first
to send a train into Washington, told
of campaign to present to the people
of it's territory the claims of Wash
ington as a magnet for tourist and
other kinds of travel. Washington is
all that and something more, and it is
good thing to educate the rest of
America to that idea.
Representative Edmonds and others
discussed the Edmonds model insur-
ance law, which may prove of great
usefulness to the capital and serve as
a model for states that have not ad-
vanced to so high a condition of civili-
zation as We have. The desirability of
law to compel those few inhabitants
who are recalcitrant in the matter to
clear the snow and ice from the side
walk in front of their property was
clearly set forth, and the value and ap-
propriateness of having a model auto
mobile camp under or close to the
shadow of the great dome was made
plain. All these things ought to be
put across" and with the proper
push on the part of our people and the
friendly cooperation Of Congress they
will come to pass.
incidentally at this meeting Of the
Board of Trade and it's worthy and
distinguished guests a compliment was
paid TO The Star which causes this
paper to make deep metaphorical
bow. The gentlemen present said
some pleasant things. and adopted
similar resolutions thanking The Star
for it's efforts to secure paving for
those streets where so many of our
taxpayers have been stuck in the mud.

instead Of seeking avoidance have
rather placed obstacles in the way of
all efforts to bring about an adjust
ment. In this circumstance, the pub
lie will remain neutral and can afford
to suspend judgment for the time
being, at least.
While this is the first time in the
history of the mining industry that a
general strike involving both the hard
and soft coal mines has been ordered,
the prospects are less alarming, from
the standpoint Of the public, than they
have been on the occasion Of some
other strikes. There is no danger that
domestic consumers will suffer from
lack of coal before next November,
and the stocks on hand are estimated
to be sufficient to last industry for
three months, unless there is notable
increase in activity. The production of
non-union mines will add to the sup.
plies in sight, so there is no reason to
til well along in July, at the earliest.
But the fact that there is no danger
of immediate suffering makes the
strike but little less deplorable. The
losses, direct and indirect, will be
enormous. With 100000 miners added
to the ranks of the unemployed the
effects will be felt in every factory, on
every farm and in every mercantile
establishment, and returning pros
perity will suffer a serious setback.
The railroads. just staggering to their
feet after long period of prostration.
will be hard hit. and their withdrawal
from the market as buyers will be felt
all down the line. Their equipment
which ought to be carrying coal will
! stand idle during the period of the
strike. and will be inadequate to meet
the demands when mining is resumed.
If the strike is prolonged until re-
serves are exhausted there will be Il
coal shortage next fall and winter.
The government, taking the view
that public safety was not immediate
ly involved. did not push to the limit
it's powers of intervention. But those
powers are in reserve, with Itossibili-
ties which never have been fully eX-
plored. and it is to be assumed that
they will be brought into action if the
strike is prolonged to a point to i'm
peril public safety.

EDITORIAL DIGEST

1t is plain that concern so shady in
character as to be unable to open an
account with any reputable bank in
the community is so effectively black
listed at the outset that nobody with
the least morsel of intelligence could
be cajoled into doing any business
with it."
After explaining concretely just how
the bucket shop operates, and why its
business is illegitimate. the Chicago
Daily News continues: "Al such con-
Germs ought to be cleared out and
forever kept out of the financial field.
Their business is pure gambling. Be-
cause they make a pretense of buy
ing stocks and grain on very small
margin they encourage the gambling
habit particularly among younger
persons and others who are ignorant
of the true nature of these gambling
processes"
The Pittsburgh Press says that "the
epidemic OF bucket shop failures is a
reminder that an investor who, when
buying stocks, does not buy on mar
gin,' but pays for them outright, en-
joys many advantages, financial as
well as moral. One of the moral ad-
vantages Is that he frees himself from
the reproach of being called gam
bier. The financial advantages
of outright purchase are numerous, in
cluding absence Of the anxiety that
the 'margined' purchaser suffers be-
cause of the temporary fluctuations
of the market, which frequently ex-
hauSt his margin and wipe out his
account, entailing serious loss"

Coal Strike Order Issued.

Apparently the die is cast, and 6OO,-
900 bituminous and anthracite coal
miners will go on strike at midnight
March 81. That this industrial con-
aict could not be averted is poor
commentary upon the much-vaunted
practically and common sense of
the American people, and discourages
found for adjusting differences be-
tween employers and employees with
out the senseless waste involved in
strikes and lockouts.
It has been apparent for some time
that the strike was almost inevitable.
Both the mine owners and the miners
have seemed to want it to come, and

Bucket Shops and Business.

"Appropriating enough money to en-
able the authorities to prosecute bucket
shop proprietors will be more effective
than passing 'blue-sky' laws" in the
opinion of the New York Tribune. At
the same time the Worcester Evening
Post enters the picture to suggest the
question, But, we ask, how can educa-
ton help in this case when there Is one
horn every minute and two born to get
him?"
The general sentiment of the newspa-
pers. as reflected by their editorials, Is
that there seems to be plenty of law at
present to curb the bucket-shop clan
What is needed, in the opinion OF many
editors, is rigid enforcement, so that
false promises will be held down to the
minimum. ..r
Conti.uing, the Tribune says: "The
