cent Much depends, Of course. upon
the degree Of free moisture-that Is,
the difference between dry" snow and
wet" snow. The medium snow makes
the best SNOWFALL, not too slushy and
not too fluffy. Mr.. Edison's machine
probably takes snow Of all kinds and
packs 1t Into standard sized bricks.
The compression Is probably much
greater than that effected by the boy.
Compression means heat. and heat
melts snow, SO that in the act Of COM

More Police Autos.

Stinting the police is poor policy.
The force" should be adequately.
even generously, provided for. and the
best that the people could give it
would not be too good. In every
emergency the Washington police
show themselves to be men Of courage,
intelligence and fidelity. Never quite
large enough and never quite we'll
enough equipped, there ere emer-
gencies which show shortcomings of
the department for which no man in
that department can be blamed. There
is, for example, the matter Of trans
port or means of quick transit. There
is not enough motor apparatus for
getting the main body Of the force to
points where it is urgently needed.
There is patrol wagon In each pre-
cinct and few autos at headquarters.
but there are not enough machines to
make the force sufficiently mobile to
meet all emergency demands. The
need for additional police autos was
emphasized Saturday night. Law and
order must be insured in the National
Capital, and one of the approved forms
Of insurance is a police force which
shall be adequate and adequately
equipped for any event that may come
to pass.

Senator Kenyon's Future.

Senator Kenyon's resignation from
the upper chamber of Congress to ac
cept federal judgeship brings up dis
cussion Of traditions of evolution In
public offlce-holding. 1t may we'll be
asked II there is, indeed, any hard
and fast custom governing promotion
that should be superior to personal
preference as to the nature Of public
service a man can render. Aforetime.
in many OF the southern and western
states, there existed a well defined
route to high place in public affairs.
A man went through the legislature to
the national House Of Representatives;
then he became governor of his state
and his next ambition usually was q
seat in the United States Senate.
There are several former governors
in the Senate today. The records will
have to be searched to show how many
senators have gone on the bench.
The man who would rather be right
than be President"-his name was
legion. William H. Taft went him one
better-he would rather be Chief JUS
tice of the United States than be Presi'
dent, and it came to pass that he was
both. And wal Fright" all the time. as
we'll. Mr.. Kenyon's friends assume
that he entertains the natural and
laudable ambition to attain ultimately
a place on the Supreme bench. Chief
Justice White was a senator of the
United States before he became Chief
Justice.

A Friendly City.

Out of the Knickerbocker disaster
has come one good thing. 1t is as a
ray Of light in an otherwise dark
cloud which has submerged whole
city, leaving mourning and sorrow in
its wake.
Washington stands today a friend
lier city than it was before the catas-
trophe. Every heart in the city was
touched by the common sorrow, which
came SO suddenly, with the result that
a new consciousness seems to have
been born out Of the ruins.
Not only did the residents in the
vicinity Of 18th street and Columbia
road display a .neighborliness which
could not have been excelled in a
small town. noted for such spirit. but
the people OF the city at large. from
the north to the south. and the east
to the west. responded with the same
great wave OF compassion.
AS a result 1t Is possible to sense a
new spirit in Washington. a better
realization by the average man or
woman one meets on a street car that.
after all. in the final analysis there is
not SO much difference between man
and man as some seem to think.
Washingtonians should catch this
spirit as precious thing to have come
out of so great tragedy. and hallow
1t in their daily lives as memorial
to the dead. In common with all large
cities, the National Capital has suf-
fered from charges that sometimes her
people display snobbishness. and do
not know how to respond pleasantly
when greeted on the street.
Under the spell Of the Knickerbocker
tragedy this better feeling. this deeper
realization of humanity and oneness, is
here. 1t is the duty Of every earnest
man and woman to show forth daily
something of, this feeling. Make and
keep Washington the friendly city.

Edison's SNOWFALL Machine.

During the present emergency, when
the streets are packed with snow, Edi-
sons resurrected snow-briquetting
machine would prove Of tremendous
use. The necessity for clear streets in
a great city was never more keenly
shown than Saturday night. when the
lives Of scores rescued from the
theater disaster hung upon the speed
with which they could be conveyed to
hospitals.
II this motorized machine-invented
forty years ago and forgotten by the
inventor-could have been in active
use here Saturday in numbers suf-
ficient to cope with the situation, all

communication must be kept open for

happen in q second. The briquet-

The Threatened Coal Strike.

Attorney General Daugherty is bear
ing the threat Of a coal strike in mind,
and will take timely action for the pro-
lection of the public in case of neces-
sity. He is quoted as saying:
1.-The people Of the country are tired
Of quarrels and strikes and being
forcibly fed on both. They want fuel
to keep them warm and food when
they are hungry. and they can't have
either without work"
In ordinary times quarrels over
wages and conditions of work and
strikes growing out of them are
strange enough, but in these times
they are amazing and to the last de-
gree reprebensible-
These are extraordinary times. So
sauch is out Of plumb, the wonder is
that headway in any line Of endeavor
can be made. Men of tho largest ex-
perience in affairs are often on their
toes, and "stumped" as to the best
course to pursue.
( And yet, in the thick of it all, lock.
outs and strikes occur. and production
OF the necessaries Of life is halted.
The country has never been brought
face to face with the question of freez-
ing or of starving. Need there be any
doubt as to its disposition or ability to
meet such a situation? Is it conceiv.
able that it would take such punish
ment lying down at anybody's hands?
In any steps the Attorney General
may take to protect the public against
widesnread suffering from disputes
over wages and related matters he
will have strong popular approval and
support.

disparage the fine achievement Of the

Much surprise was occasioned by
the discovery that the Irish flag Is
blue instead of green-also much dis
appointment. Over here it seemed en-
tirely out of drawing for the Irish
Free State, when after several CEN
turtles it finally acquired the right to
a flag, to hoist one not of the emerald
shade, with which Ireland has always
been associated. Then a bright Amer
lean paragrapher proposed way out
of the difficulty-why not mix the
Ulster orange with the Free State blue
and produce an Irish green? The as

conference between Michael Collins.

Ulster, suggests the idea that perhaps
the advice of the American has been
acted on.
Hopeful as the acceptance of the

Revival of the Snow Law.

- A sidewalk snow bill pends in Con-
gress. Under this bill snow must be
cleared from the sidewalk in front Of
of daylight after the ceasing to fall
OF any snow or sleet. This must be
done or directed to be done. by the oc-
cupant of the property, whether such
occupant be owner, tenant or lessee.
The proposition is a good one, and
meets the approval of certainly nine
tenths of the people of Washington.
1t also has the approval of quite as
large percentage Of home owners as
OF lodgers.
1t is an old subject here. When
Washington was a small city it was a
point of pride and responsibility with
our old citizens to clear off the pave
ment' in front Of home or store. It
was a local habit. and Washington
children grew to manhood and woman
hood with the conviction that the side
walk in front Of the home was in part
under their care. Here and there was
a neighbor who was Indifferent to the
comfort of the other neighbors and
who did not feel himself bound by the
local custom. Alien owners Of unim-
proved lots were the chief delinquents.
Backed by popular opinion there came
to be enacted a law which compelled
fl front Of their property. f1ning them
in the Police Court for neglect Of duty.
and assessing the fines against the
property in the case Of alien owner
ship. The law worked for a number OF
years. There were protests here and
there and at length a test case. The
law was declared unconstitutional.
But, law or no law, the old-time
Washingtonian kept clearing the
snow off "his'' sidewalk. and newcom-
srs to Washington were instructed in
the exercise and generally adopted the
custom. You can see that common
custom Of the city in operation today.
Nearly every home-owner, nearly
every store-owner. nearly every house
and store renter, cleared the snow on
"his" sidewalk or cut a passage wide
enough for easy walking. Only here
and there in a reighborhood was an
owner or tenant who did not follow
the local unwritten law. and neishbor.
hood comment on this neglect Of
"duty" would not be pleasant for the
offender to hear. Only a small number
of Washingtonians need a law to COM
pei them to clear "their" sidewalk. but
those who do need such a law should
have it.
Part of the pending bill would com.
pei the District Commissioners to re.
move the snow from street crossings,
aidewalks in front of public buildings
and the like. This used to be done, and
the Commissioners will take up the
obligation again if they are given the
rublic money which the work calls for.
