asemsnt aud prodt-sss,ing tradss. has
been kept up to former standards. The
advance sale Of seats ct the world
series games has. been a. large as
usual. There is every sign that the
game is popular as ever.
Washington started the season with
some glimmers Of pennant hopes. But
they faded as the year advanced, and
as they have faded always in the past.
Next year" is again the cry. Some
day, perhaps. this city will be the
scene Of one Of these big events. The
local park is large enough to enter
tain a world championship crowd. with
emergency provisions. The city has
certainly been a faithful supporter Of
the sport for several generations. It
came within q narrow margin Of first
place on two occasions, and seldom
has excitement run so high as when
the chances seemed bright for the
bunting.
If ever pennant is won here ma
tional interest in the game will un-
doubtedly be quickened, for Wash
ington is one Of the historic spots in
American base ball history.

stump 10 cast away Into waste
basket or Q corner to smoldsr and
ignite in dimsy stun. Trash piles up
against heating pipes or is exposed to
the spark Of q broken electric con-
ductor.
If every building were cleaned thor
oughly and kept clean, II all trash
were removed and afterward system
atically disposed Of in safety. the fire
losses in this city would be lowered
to very small point. That Is one Of
the lessons to be learned during Fire
Prevention week.
In how many households are the
matches kept in safety? Probably in
very few. A open match box Is almost
always to be found on the kitchen
range. The reserve matches are sell
dom kept in metal boxes. There should
be also a metal receptacle for burned
matches, but in very few places are
they thus handled.
These domestic precautions against
fire should. of course, be observed
without specific instruction, but peo.
pie need direction in these matters,
and perhaps this can be given best
through the children in the schools.
Many valuable lessons can thus be
taught this week through the young
sters. Fire.Prevention week should
be intensively observed, therefore, in
the schoolhouses. not merely in the
clearing out Of waste material and the
holding Of fire drills, but in specific
instructions that the children can take
home with them to their elders.

Tammany and Mr.. Wilson.

Score another for Mr.. Wilson. The
convention at Syracuse saluted him.
It was on motion Of Norman e. Mack,
democratic national committeeman
for New York. Greetings and wishes
for health and happiness" were voted.
with three cheers.
The convention, it is to be remem-
many. Leader Murphy was in full
charge. Nothing was done without
consultation with him. He and Mr..
Wilson have never been on terms. Mr..
Hughes carried New York easily in
1916, and two years ago Mr.. Harding
swept it. Still, here was action on Mr..
Murphy's part Of friendly nature.
Does 1t mark a change Of relations
between the two mon? VIII Mr.. Will
son respond by putting his influence
behind the democratic ticket? -
It Is further to be remembered that
it was at the suggestion Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Wilson man, that Gov.
Smith announced his candidacy
against Mr.. Hearst. Others had ap-
preached him on the subject, but not
until Mr.. Roosevelt spoke did Gov.
Smith authorize the use of his name.
In this way Gov. Smith has claim
on the New York contingent Of the
Wilsonites. Mr.. Roosevelt Is prom
inent in the Wilson circle, and now
that Gov. Smith is the nominee must
want to SEQ him put over in Novem-
ber.
If Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Hearst-a startling trio in harness to-
gether-throw themselves into the
campaign with energy. the task Of the
republicans will be made much
heavier, even with the admirable can.
didate they are supporting for gov
ernor. -

The Base Ball Classic.

Day after tomorrow the great
American base ball classic begins in
New York city, the annual contest for
the world championship: between
the winners Of the pennants in the
two big leagues. This year, as last,
the two New York teams are the con,
tenders, much to the disappointment
Of many who hoped to see a fight BE-
tween two different cities, not merely
to vary the record, but because Of q
sentimental partisanship for other
teams. - -
1t has been said repeatedly during
the season just closing that base bail
interest is waning, and yet~the at
tendance records did not bear out this
pessimistic feeling. The ball parks
have been crowded often to their

Mr.. Bryan in the Campaign.

Prohibition is now prominent in the
Ohio campaign. In q special to The
Sunday Star from Columbus this ap-
peared:
The new issue has caused some un-
easiness in the camp Of the democrats
liam j. Bryan to come into the state.
To q considerable element Of the
party here he is Objectionable, and In
spite Of the fact that Mr.. Bryan has
rendered his services to the democrats
understood that no call for his serv-
ices in this state would be made. But
1t Is quite certain that the Anti
Saloon League will extend an invi-
tation to him to come in and speak
against the pending amendment.
Not long since the democrats Of In.
diana were reported as uneasy about
Mr.. Bryan. On personal grounds and
on political issues in general he was
acceptable to them, but they feared to
have him come into the state this
year. Might not his presence on the
stump irritate the vets?
1t is difficult If not impossible to
conceive of Mr.. Bryan as welcome in
,. New Jersey during the present cam
paign. The democracy Of that state,
with Gov. Edwards it's candidate for
the Senate, is as wet as the Atlantic
ocean. How could Mr.. Bryan drum
for votes for him?
The New York democrats have just
declared in a guarded but unmistaka-
BILE way in favor of the wet cause. A
quarter century ago Mr.. Bryan de-
scribed that state-free silver was
then the issue-as 1.-The enemy's coun.
try" So far as he is concerned. does
it not bear that designation on the
issue Of prohibition? Is Tammany
likely to yearn for his voice on the
stump in Candidate Smiths behalf?
Mr.. Bryan's stumping itinerary will
have to be arranged with great care.
Steering him into states where he Is
wanted and around states where he is
not wanted Is q nice task, calling for
watchfulness and diplomacy.

MANY Of the younger generation
wi are apt to endeavor to boss
their elders; a striking example Of
this noticed the other day at lunch
con. Directly across from me sat a
man and woman. apparently man and
wife. Accompanying them was one Of
those dear, sweet, gray-haired, old
fashioned, motherly sort Of individ-
uals that you instinctively call grand
ma. The man directed the waiter to
take the elder ones order and she
timidly asked the waiter for one Of
the staples on the menu, whereupon
the younger woman. either daughter
or daughter-in-law. rather curtly
told her that she did not think that
she should eat that kind Of food.
With an air of resignation the old
lady suggested that the younger
woman order for her, but you could
feel that grandma, after having been
taken out for an afternoons outing,
had part of the days pleasure spoiled
by the curt tones Of the mans wife.

Lessened Tension in the Levant.

Although the danger Of a conflict IN
the near east is greatly lessened by
the mutual suspension Of military
movements on the Asiatic shore Of the
Dardanelles and an agreement for an
armistice meeting to be held tomor-
row at Mudania, the situation Is still
precarious. For undoubtedly the
ing insist upon full withdrawal Of
British troops from the Asiatic shores
and upon an agreement for the open
ing OF the straits and for the immedi-
ate evacuation Of Thrace by the
Creeks. Great Britain. retreating de-
cidedly from the original position in
the premises, may, on the other hand,
insist upon allied occupation Of the
neutral zone and upon the control Of
the straits.
Russia has complicated the matter
by presenting a formal demand for
the freedom Of the straits. This de-
mand has just been presented at Lon
don In terms that indicate a fixed pur-
pose on the part Of the Moscow gov
ernment to compel recognition Of Rus.
sia's economic claims. Evidently the
freedom of the straits Is to be one Of
the cardinal principles Of Russian for
eign policy. In the communication
from Moscow it is set forth that the
occupation of the straits by the allies.
notably the British, effects blockade
against Russia, inasmuch as supplies
required by Russia must pass through
that channel.
1t is known that Mustapha kemal
regards Russia as an ally. He has al
ready urged that Russia be asked to
the conference. tentatively set for
Venice following the armistice meet
ing, but no decision has been reached
by the allied powers on this point. The
Russian demand just presented sup
plies the diplomatic basis for insist
ance upon the admission Of Russia to
the Venice meeting.
Little is heard Of Greek military
movements. Evidently the revolution
Is still In q stage to permit no vigor-
Gus movements toward the rehabilita-
tion Of the army in Thrace, and prob
ably influences are at work at
Athens to discourage the prosecution
Of the war. 1t is decidedly to the in
terest of the allies to hold Greece now
in restraint, and perhaps the lack Of
evidence of military preparations at
Athens is due to the success Of entente
efforts to persuade the new Greek
government to accept the loss of
Thrace in preference to Turkish war
fare menacing far more than Thracian
control.
Kemars attitude at the Mudania
meeting tomorrow is expected to be
that Of victor demanding rights
. rather than negotiator pleading for
consideration. But there is plainly
less chance now Of an untoward hap
pening precipitating the dreaded con.
fiict. Kemal is shrewd trader, and
may be expected to make the most Of
his present advantages. If he had
been bent on war he could have
gained that point several days ago
with better chances of success than
now offer.

Discriminating Car Service.

Elsewhere In The Star today is
printed an interview with a citizen
who has made careful study Of
street railway conditions in Washing
ton, and who now strongly supports
the demand for the abandonment Of
the one-man car system in vogue on
certain local lines. He points out the
dangers Of this method Of transporta.
tion and proposes to carry the matter
to the point Of effective protest against
continued operation.
The argument against the one-man
car Is that It is unsafe and that 1t
slows the traffic. 1t does not give the
public the service to which it is en-
titled at the rate Of fare now prevail
ing In the District. It discriminates
against the patrons Of certain lines. It
is an economy Of which the public
gets no benefit.
One.man cars might be properly
used here as they are in other cities
on suburban lines extending beyond
the trunks, the feeder lines, where the
never be run into the center Of the
city. They should certainly not be
operated on trunk linss through the
city On selected routes, while on other
routes through the same area they
are not used.
There should be but one standard of
street railway service in Washington,
not two, just as there is only one rate
Of fare. That is one Of the reasons
why tho people upon whom the one
man car has been forced are now pro-
testing, and their protests should be
given consideration.
