The one.Man CAT Nuisance:

one-man street, cars have been run
ming in the city Of Washington for
some months, but are far from public
approval. In. fact, they are regarded
by the people who ride In them; and
by those who use the streets alongside
Of them, as a nuisance, and a, danger
GUS nuisance at that. The Rhode Is
land Avenue Citizens Association has
added its protest to others that have
been fled with the Public Utilities
Commission against these cars as a
menace to life, limb and health
It stands to reason that one man
cannot operate the street car alone
as efficiently, expeditiously or safely a.
two men. The, man in front must
be tnotormau, conductor and cashier.
He must take fares, make change, give
transfers, close doors and operate con.
troller and brakes. :, He cannot do all
Of these at once. BY rule he is re-
stricted to his duties as conductor
while the car Is halted. AS soon as
all the departing passengers have left
and the incoming passengers have paid
their fares and received their trans.
fers and Grange he. can close his door
and start his car. That division Of
duty makes perhaps for safety, but
It surely does not make for good .serv.

They drag" the road. And they choke

valuable. The only time when they
ere feasible without causing delays is
during the lighter-trafflc periods of the
day, when tracks are more clear and
when loads are comparatively small.
The only consideration In favor Of
these one.man carr Ii that Of ecohutny,
and it is an economy IN which the
public does; not share. The Utilities
Commission must take the public point
of view III all matters Of street railway
regulations and 1t Is impossible to con.
tinue to disregard the protests against
these cars without setting quite aside
the question Of the peoples conven-
ience and safety.
It is 10 be noted that the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens In their rese.
luton Of: protest refer to these cars
as a. menace. to health. This Is a ref.
erepees to, the inadeduate ventilation
ir. cars that are sealed ct the rear.
The season is at hand when windows
will not be kept open generally and
the air in the one:man cars win get
more and more foul as the autumn
advances. This factor is Of Importance
and should be borne in mind, by the
Utilities Commission.
A rule requiring full crews on all
cars operated in the District Of Co
iumbia would be gratefully welcomed
by the citizens who use the local lines.

area lying west Of the channel win be
linked up directly with Potomac Park.
1t would add several miles Of park
driveways to the system that now
makes the capitals river park one Of
the wonders of the world. The pres
ent driveway around the periphery of
Potomac Park is over five miles. With
Memorial bridge and Columbia Island
added, as the development Of 1.-The lat
ter is now planned. this could be ex.
tended to probably eight miles, with
practically no retracing Of route save
across the river and back. In addi-
tion to the park island drives thus
directly connected at grade with Poto-
mac Park, there would be the drives
through Arlington. adding two or
three miles more. No city in the
world could then boast Of anything
approaching such a stretch of attrac-
tive reads.
When the memorial bridge was pro-
posed more than twenty years ago
Columbia Island was not contemplat-
ed. But it was known that Arlington
would be developed, though, of course.
no one at that time anticipated its
growth In national Importance through
the burial there OF heroes of the great
war. The purpose was to bring Ar
lington into direct and immediate con-
junction with the federal city, to SYM
bolize the reunion of the northern and
southern sections Of the country and
to express the gratitude of the nation
for those who fell in the great civil
struggle. Memorial bridge was never
contemplated as a measure of utility.
but primarily as an expression Of in
spring patriotic sentiment.
This sentiment can be fully express-
ed by q. structure such as that which
the Fine Arts Commission favors and
which has always been regarded as the
proper design, which will directly link
the memorial to the, war President
with the national cemetery, and which
will unite the parks and thus enhance
the glory of the capital and its setting.

the party could stand it-might even

might help to eliminate facticnism,
which was the curse Of the session

On the other hand. Chairman Walsh
of the democratic senatorial campaign
committee sees "a trend unmistakably
toward the democratic party" But
he adds this saving observation:

these two cases. Mr.. Wood and Mr..
Walsh have simply met ofilcial obliga.
tions. Prophecies by them were ex.
pected, and they could not afford to
disappoint the public.
Mr. Walsh says the brightest demo.
cratic prospects are in New York and
New Jersey. He is acting on this
opinion in arranging to spend the
whole Of October on a stumping tour
through the west, giving only the last
seven days of the campaign to the
east. His home state Of Massachu.

Unbearable School Conditions.

Effects of the congestion in the pub
lie schools are now being severely
felt. Not only are the children crowd
ed into classrooms beyond the average
Of the possibilities of good teaching,
but they are inadeauately supplied
with equipment. In many schools
there are not enough books, and some
Of the children must get their lessons
without the aid Of individual texts,
doubling with other In some schools.
too. there are not enough desks and
chairs. In some of the kindcrgartens
old. worn-out furniture is being sup
piled, taken from the storerooms, and
even from the refuse heaps. Children
are being shifted from school to school
in the effort to adjust and equaiize.
with the result that many are as
signed to buildings at long distances
from their homes. While doubtless
these assignments may be corrected
later, the effect Of the constant shift
ing of pupils is demoralizins. The
children are not getting the right start
in their school work.
Here, then, is condition of crowd
ing and shortage and confusion direct
ly attributable. to the lack Of sufficient
buildings. teaching force and equip
ment due to the failure Of appropria-
ton adequate to meet the capitals re-
quirements. These conditions are not
peculiar to any particular grade or
group of grades. They obtain in every
part of the system from the kinder.
gartens to the high schools.
The city's hope is that when Con-
gress acts on this matter it will do SO
with a view not merely to meeting the
immediate emergency, but to provide
constructively for the future. Today's
congestion is the result Of years of
neglect, of spasmodic increases fol
lowed by slumps, of a failure ever to
catch up with arrears. 1t would be
only prolonging the troubles to pro-
vide one year for a large increase in
buildings and then lapse into the old
ratio of annual appropriation. The
present school situation demands a
longtime series Of unusual allotments

Hold That Line

"Old grads" of Siwash, "ampus

the blood circulating through the
veins with an intoxicating exuber-
ance, none can compare with the
college game Of foot ball. A well
trained team playing with the ac-
curacy of machine carrying the
ball down the field arouses college
enthusiasm Of the highest order.

The Threat Of War.

With the British forces at Chanak

tire balance of the neutral zone on the
Asiatic side of the Dardanelles; with
British reinforcements in the form of
superdreadnaughts and destroyers.
marines. infantry. aviators, planes
and munitions being rushed to the
threatened area. the events which
have happened with such amazing
swiftness in the near east have as
sumed extreme gravity.
Nor is the crisis rendered appre-
ciably less acute by the friendly tone
Of the telegraphic exchange between
Gen. Harrington, the British COM
mander-in-chief. and Mustapha kemal
Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader.
For while it is true that assurances
are given and received of a sincere
mutual desire to avoid "the occurrence
of Incidents which might precipitate
hostilities, there is no evidence of a
disposition on the part of either to
yield an iota from the strategic or
diplomatic positions to which each has
been committed.
The possibility and. indeed. the prob
ability of war between the Turk and
Great Britain is more imminent today
than the world. partially aware of the
fearful potentialities of such con-
flict, dares to admit. And this despite
the fact that neither the Turk nor
Great Britain would willingly become

picion, they stand pat. 1t is at this
point that, despite the highest mo-
ttves of responsible statesmen and
military leaders, the possibility of
war changes to probability. The ir-
responsible. hot headed action of some
obscure individual or group touches
the contact, nerves taut with anxiety
and repressed grievance give way.
swift action ensues, and that flame
of hell which is war once more is
loosed upon the earth.
So, God forbid, it may be at the
Dardanelles. A world, heart-heavy
with apprehension awaits the shap-
ing of events which have largely
passed out of the hanes Of the re-
sponsible leaders Of the two nations
