Going Back to 1874.

Announcement that it is the purpose
Of the joint select committee Of Con-
gress examining into the equities Of
the District surplus to carry the probe
back to the year 1874 really means that
the terms of the law which provides
for this inquiry are to be strictly re-
garded. even though in all likelihood
all the equities Of the United States
government have already been thor
oughly examined. Two inquiries have
been conducted under the auspices of
the House District committee in the
past into these old federal claims, and
a large sum of money has been taken
from the District in satisfaction of
them. against which the District has
never been given any chance of de-
fense. 1t is altogether probable that
no single detail of early district fed
eral relationship has ESCAPED these re-
searches. which were conducted plain
ly for the purpose of finding District
debts and not to find credits. Notwith-
standing the completeness of these
earlier surveys, the present joint com
mittee will scan the past thoroughly.
The District is glad that this is to be
done. so that there will be definite
and final settlement OF these matters.

the Radical Minority.

1t is known to be the definite pur-
pose Of radical elements in the labor
movement IN this country to gain con-
troll Of the organization. They have
for several years been seeking this
end. They have been boring from
within" in one craft and another. The
American Federation of Labor has re.
sisted this effort, and at every annual
convention has recorded itself as posi-
lively opposed to political radicalism.
Samuel Gompers' successive re-elec-
tons as president of the federation
have indicated successful resistance of
the process.
A case has just come to point in the
annulment Of the charter of the union
Of bookkeepers, stenographers and ac-
countants Of New York city. This or
ganization has for some time past
been under the dominion of a group of
communists who, though not in the
majority, have been able through their
drilled solidarity to control the union.
There are about 900 members on the
roll, only 100 Of these being Of the
radical stripe. But these 100 have al
ways attended the meetings and have
outvoted the other 500, most of whom
were absent. So successful have these
radicals been IN directing the course

Pallida Mors and the Vacation.

Stern as Cassandra. but not SO well
inspired. we hope, are the persons who
offer US horrid warnings of the perils
of Americas vacation season. To
read their utterauces. in faith be-
lieving. is to see the Pallida Mors of
Horace perched on the luggage car
rier of every touring car. spookily
haunting every passenger coach

Our own notion is that any vacation
may be spoiled by the noisy booming
of the waves of bacteriology's ocean.
Pallida Mors is an arrant coward. If
you run away YOU will be chased. and
possibly caught. That also is a
Horatian suggestion. Remember that
your grandmother. who died some
where between ninety and a hundred,
and all her life got water from the
old oaken bucket, and never heard
of bacteriology. was healthy per-
son to the end. If you enjoy your
vacation you will get benefit from it.
Otherwise you will not. Play as hard

The Park Rule Modified.

Modification of the order against
night parking of automobiles in Rock
Creek Park has resulted from a gen
eral protest against the drastic rule
that is to become effective on the oath.
The Superintendent of the park police
has been instructed to refrain from
molesting family parties under the
new rule, and to enforce it only
against those who stop their cars in
the park for immoral purposes. In fol-
lowing out this instruction it is prob
able that the police will use their
common sense. Experience has doubt
less shown to them the difference be-
tween the park loafers and the re-
spectacle park users. Admonition to
the former to move on will probably
produce results. There are places in
the park where those who seek the
refreshfnent of the breeZes and the
GOODNESS of the night air would never
stop. These are the places, to watch.
There are other places where no one
with an improper motive would stop a
machine for any length of time. 1t
would seem that this modification Of
the rule will prevent injustice and
hardship to those who innocently use
the park at night and serve in large
measure to keep it clear Of others.

she should be qualified in a high de.
gree to discuss every phase of the
existing political situation. And. of
course, on every account, she will
have large audiences on her tour.
As time passes we shall probably see
a good deal of this in England and
also in this country. Wives of poll.
ticians aspiring to office, or candidates
for reelection to Offices already OBJ
tanned, will exert all their powers Of
persuasion in behalf Of their husbands.
Stumping will become a feature of
their activities in politics, and an i'm.
portant feature Women are so con.
stituted that they plead better for
others than for themselves; and where
their petitions come from the heart as
well as from the head the effect has
double force.
The opportunities of women as citi-
zens fully enfranchised-as individuals
in their own right-are not as yet
fully appreciated. The simple right to
vote would not carry them far. But
the right to hold office, and canvass
for others seeking oftice-to partici-

and getting them to the polls-will
make them a power when they choose

All Other States,
Time for Firm Hand.

There will be no lack of public sup
port for the policy of the government
to use all its powers to prevent inter
ference with the mails and un!aWfut
interruption of interstate commerce.
Everything necessary to be done to
that end must be done. and while
every good citizen will hope that eX-
treme measures will not be redulE"d

the several states, but it becomes also
an obligation of the federal govern
rlent because of the fact that unless
men are permitted to take the places
of the striking shopmen the mails can
not be transported and interstate COM
merce cannot go forward. Already
n.ail trains have had to be cancelled
because rolling stock. especially loco
motives. could not be operated. Every
day that the shops remain unnamed
this situation will grow more acute.
Locomotives must have constant in
spection and overhauling or they can
not be operated with safety. if al all.
The railroads, as is their duty. are
trying to get men to do this essential
work The real test will come in de-
termination as to whether they will
be permitted to do the work without
molestation. If the shops can be
manned. and the new men are given
adequate protection, the operation of
trains can be continued regardless of
the strike. Failure either to man the
shops or to afford the workers protec-
ton will result at a very early day in
paralyZing the entire transportation
system Of the country. And the effect
will be as disastrous as if the train
men and all other railway employees
went on a general strike.

ArbitIate the Coal Strike.

With each days delay in acceptance
of President Hardings proposal for
arbitration of the coal strike public
operators is bound to increase. Both
! organized labor and the employers Of
Ia Dor are on record as declaring time
after time in favor of the principle Of
the arbitration of industrial disputes.
Here is an opportunity for arbitration
on a national scale. under the auspices
of the federal government and of as
sured impartiality, at time when
there is vital public necessity that tho
dispute should be adjusted. That such
proposal should be rejected is un-
thinkable.
1t was to have been expected that
the proposal would be accepted imme-
diately. and in the broad. tolerant
spirit in which it was advanced. But
il was not Instead. both the miners
and operators show a disposition to
uuibbie and to play for advantage.
They seem to approach the subject in
! They are willing to play if the cards
can be stacked in such a way that
they are bound to win. Otherwise
their adherence to the theory of arbi-
rration is with reservations.
Both the miners and the operators
appear to be amazingly ignorant as to
the state of mind of the American peo-
pie. They do not seem to grasp the
fact that the patience of the people
has been tried almost to the breaking
point. nor do they seem to have any
appreciation Of the powers of the
American government once it becomes
necessary to exercise those powers to
save the life of the nation. That coal
should be mined and distributed is a
national necessity. and if the present
owners of the mif4es and their striking
former employees will not mine it some
other way must and will be found. If
either the miners or the operators
think they can starve and freeze the
nation into submission to their will
they have learned little Of the lessons
which. the world war taught.
The arbitration proposed by Presi-
dent Harding is way out. an honora-
BILE way and fair one. If it is reject

must endure the consequences. The

steel workers, reported that its men,

At the late convention of the a'''
can Federation of Labe
this unions executive nitro
duced a resolution calling for "one big
! union.'
Now the union has been deprived of
its charter and another organization
is being formed to replace 1t. Similar
| action is possible in the case Of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union. which. it is said. has been also
the object Of red attention. Its prasl-
dent has said that soviet agents have
: threatened TO destroy his power and
his union if he did not bring about an
affilia ton with the third internationale
at Moscow.
The reassurinS phase of this matter
|; is that the radicals are decidedly in
tire minority, and tEat they cannot di-
vert the unions from their allegiance
or turn them to Russian affiliation.
But it shows also that an active CO.
, herent minority can make much mis-
chief, can indeed control if the negi-
gent majority will permit. What has
happened in the bookkeepers' union in

Administration of the 3 per cent
immigration law. which provides that
only so many immigrants may enter
the United States for each fiscal
year as will represent 3 per cent
of the entire number Of natives
of a given country here in the CEN
sus year 1910, is proving a slightly
more difficult thing than administra-

tion laws. by which an immigrant. un-
less he was palpably "Iikely to be-
come a public charge"-in the words
Of the bureau of immigration-or
unless he was Il victim Of communl-
cable disease, was admitted. Close
medical examination in the days be-
fore the war was not undertaken
and if the immigrant passed tne or
dinary tests successfully he had no
trouble getting into the promised

practical shut down of immi grafton

southern Europe. where most OF the

perhaps made a closer study or the
question of immigration than any
other American, testified at hearings
before congressional committees tnat
the per cent law should "orh
out admirably.
That his statement made nearly
two years ago has been borne out py
the facts Is shown by figures com
piled recently by Mr.. Husband. wnich
show that. while certain matters OF
ouota disturbed smooth functioning
of the law for a short time, these
matters have all been ironed out. ana
the law now is working far better
than the old method of admitting all
corners.

Unjust Discrimination.

1t. is difficult to understand the dis
elimination in the law relating to the
collection of refuse which prohibits
the District from collecting ashes Or
trash from apartment houses. The
person who lives in separate resi-.
dence enjoys the free service of trash
collection. II he lives in a building
with three or four other families he is
denied it. Wherein lies the difference?
Each is a householder, each in one de-
gree or another is taxpayer directly
or indirectly, and each is entitled in
equity to the same facility for keeping
the premises clean. Yet the collective
dweller, so to speak. the apartment
house resident, must pay somebody to
take away his ashes or his other
trash.
In the matter Of ashes this IL not 30
important. because few apartments
