An Unsafety Week.

Washington started an "unsafety
week" yesterday. when four people
were killed by automobiles and one by
q street car. and several were more
or less seriously injured by motors.
January 15. 1928, will stand as one of
the blacklist days in the history of the
city in point of street casualties.
The habit of carefulness on the part
of both drivers and pedestrians has
not been acquired. The lesson of the
terrible consequences of inattention,
speed and indifference to rules sup
posed to have been taught by bitter
experience, and particularly by the
safety week" demonstrations of a
short time ago has not been learned.
In at least one case of those that so
tragically marked yesterdays happen
ing excessive speed was accountable.
A machine was being driven at a furi-
Gus pace along the highway and
struck two people walking along the
road passing on without pausing. a
shocking exhibition of callousness.
In the other cases there may have
been fault on both sides, on the part
of the pedestrians or on the side of
the motorists. But in every case it
was the motor that did the killing.
Had these machines been driven at a
more considerate rate of speed so that
they would have been quickly halted
probably none of those hit would have
been killed or badly hurt.
In considering who is to blame in
the matter of these traffic accidents
it is to be borne in mind that a ma
jority of the street mishaps due to
breaches of the rules are between ma
chine and machine, and not between
machine and pedestrian. Every day
there are numerous collisions. side
due to sudden sideswings to avoid col
lision. In some of them the occupants
of the machines are hurt and in some
only the motors are damaged. But this
long and continuing list of motor
clashes shows clearly that a great
many of those who drive cars do not
observe the rules and are not careful.
Forfeiture of license would seem to
be the proper remedy as against those
who f1agrantly disobey rules that are
made for the safety Of all. AS the case
stands now there is practically no
penalty when pedestrian is hit,
whether killed or merely injured. In
all but the rarest instances the drivers
of cars in such cases are exonerated.
Prosecutions are so few as to be con-
spicuously exceptional. Yet the deaths
continue and the pedestrian is blamed,
when it is patent to any observer Of
street conditions that there is more
careless driving than careless walk
ing. Something must be done to save
lives.

A Master of Detail.

From a report of the Mann memo
rial service held in the hall of the
House Sunday:
understand how Mr.. Mann kept in
such close touch with all details OF
Legislation. and Democratic Leader
Garrett said he often marveled at the
ability of Mr.. Mann to grasp the in
tlmate knowledge of legislation which
characterized his extended service
Tributes from both sides of the
chamber, and well deserved.
Mr.. Mann was d master of legisla.
tive detail-probably the most con.
summate master the House has known
in generation. His industry was un.
tagging. He was always and forever
on the job. His vigilance was cease.
less. He was never caught asleep at
the switch. His patience was mex.
haustible. He would listen to any ex.
PLANTATION or number of explanations
of any measure in hand for action.
There is no thrill in this sort of
work. The legislator who performs il
is seldom fully appreciated during his
life. His eye is too keen to please
those who are in haste TO put things
over. or those whose measures will not
bear a close examination. He stops
jobs. He balks intended raids on the
Treasury. In a word. his success is
often at the expense of his popularity
But he comes into his own later, as
Mr.. Mann did, when his course is fin.
ished and the record is appraised at
its true value.
Mr.. Mann cared nothing for show
He was all for business. and wanted
business transacted in a plain way
He was no wordspinner, and held in
small esteem what he called fancy
phrases" His party in the next
House-indeed, the country-will miss
him. Men SO capable, and 80 willing
TO address themselves as a duty to
the humdrum do not often appear in
office.

gress are wetting their whistles
through the aid of bootleggers at the
Capitol
Pat Harrison, now senator from
Mississippi, was at that time dis
trict attorney. He has determined to
make the race for member of the
House from his district. An opponent
by the name of Tyler was also in
the running. And Mr.. Tyler lighted
upon a popular platform plank" to
drive the fsupposed) bar out of the
Capitol of the United States. Now
Mr.. Harrison did not wish to adopt
a platform plank of his opponent.
particularly one upon which Tyler
was laying such stress. On the other
hand, the district was very dry" and
it would have never done to oppose
Tyler's stand on this important ques-
ton of relieving the lawmakers from
the temptation of Bachus. So Mr..
Harrison hit upon the plan of declar-
ing that so far as lay in his power
he would discourage the use OF
liquor in the Capitol building wher
he got to Westinghouse he did gel
there. AS a matter of fact Mr.. Har-
rison at that time had never been in

The Ambassadorshin TO Cuba.

Raising the Cuban diplomatic billet
from mission to an embassy finds
here and there a critic. Why, it is
asked, have put that post on a par
with the great European and Asiatic
posts?
Several reasons why. An excellent
one is that Cuba, though small coun-
try. is a near neighbor and our rela-
tions with her are intimate and un-
usual. We stand for her with the out
side world, and should help her in
every way to stand for herself. She is
important to us and we to her in the
present posture Of world affairs, and
developments may emphasize the re-
lationship. Our interests in the West
Indies will increase rather than dimin.
ish, and Cuba will remain Queen of
the Antilles.

Mr.. Bryan Cautious.

In an interview yesterday, Mr..
Bryan, after declaring for progressive
policies-relief for the farmers, justice
for the wage-earners and the curbing
Of proflteers-said as respects next
year:
OF course, no one can say at the
present time to what extent interna-
tional affairs may divert attention
from purely domesic questions in 1924.
The longer one takes part in public
life the less inclined he becomes to
guess far in advance. Experience
teaches that many changes are pos
sible In these times in a very short
period.
Mr.. Bryan has been taking part in
public life-our national public life
for a quarter century. In that time he
has known many predictions made,
and probably made not few himself.
He speaks from experience.
What he says is distinctly true. Pre-
dieting 'far in advance" is always
risky. 1t has never been more risky
than now. Indeed, conditions are such
it is not worth while. For there has
never before been so much pertinence
to the old question, who may say
what day may bring forth?
If Europe and the near east light
up with war flames again the effect is
certain to be worldwide. In some way
possibly in several ways-we shall
inevitably feel it. We could not es-
cape.
So that forecasting next years cam
paign at this time cannot be serious
performance, and matters are too
grave for reckless speculation or idle
talk.
But 1924 is not far off, and when it
arrives, with its engagements and obli-
cations, the politicians will have to
meet it and bestir themselves.
