The Big Money Fight Game.

Tonight prize fight is to be pulled

Some difference between this affair

One-Way Streets.

Legal operation Of the one-way
streets began today, and violators of
the one-way rule are now subject to
arrest and penalty. Since the promul-
cation of the one.way traffic rules vio-
lators have been merely cautioned by
the police because the new regulation
could not be put into legal effect with
out thirty days notice. That period
has expired.
Auto drivers and pedestrians hold
that the one-way rule is working well.

their education in this matter and all
drivers must henceforth heed them.
The east and west bound streets, Of
which there are fewer than those for
north and south travel, have not given
much perplexity to drivers, and it is
believed that they have considerably
ameliorated the traffic situation

The High Pressure Item,

Announcement is made that the

their estimates an item of 100000 to
start the installation of a high pressure
firefighting service for the downtown
section Of the District. This is a
gratifying response to the public de-
mand for first move toward giving

tually to cover practically all Wash
ington with such a system, using for
firefghting only the water from the
Potomac. But the original plan, and
that which Is now in contemplation,
includes only the business area, where
the fire risk is greatest and the pos
sible damage is heaviest, the area of
government buildings as well as of
large commercial establishments.
This item should not only be in
cluded in the estimates, but should be
vigorously pressed as one of the most
urgent needs of the District. Local
sentiment is a unit on the subject. The
people are willing to pay their share
Of the cost. The Commissioners should
write the recommendation so strongly
that it cannot be ignored in the budget
shaping and in the writing OF the
appropriation bill.

Bootlegging De Luxe.

Bootlegging reduced to science and

tale that is told by Chicago nows-
psper which was in substance re-

method of running rum from the
easily reached Florida coast to the
northern centers of distribution and

of the case is that the promoter of

Of traffic is southbound in'the morning

a burden that was formerly distributed
over a greater number OF streets. On
the whole it is believed that the one
way experiment has proved its worth
and that it is wise TO - aside certain
streets as permanent one-way routes.

missing in the picture of felicity. No
mention is made of the roads. Tourists
who have made the coast-line motor
trip have not found the highways Of
the southern half OF the New York
Florida run particularly agreeable.
Rum-running at the speed induced by
such a lawless enterprise Is apt to be
pretty bumpy. But what matters a
few jolts and jars when the profits
are so great?
Here we have the business Of law
breaking brought down to the brass
tacks of security and comfort. And
the recommended and, indeed, pre-
scribed route for the traffic thus per-
sonally conducted lies through the
National Capital. Perhaps the en-
forcement authorities will find some
interesting matter in the transactions
in the hiring of cars in Florida. The
game is not beyond the reach Of the
laws arm, clever as it is.

The Big Issue in Minnesota

Evidently something more than the
senatorial seat vacated by the death
of Knute Nelson is at stake in the
Minnesota election which takes place
next Monday. The campaign now
being waged furiously in the state
between the regular republicans and
the farmer-labor forces is mere sig
nificant even than may be measured
by its possible effect upon the margin
Of the republican party in the Senate.
In an appeal to the labor voters of
the state to go to the polls next Mon
day and vote for Magnus Johnson,
the Union Advocate, the organ of
organized labor in Minnesota. has de-
clared that the future Of the farmer
labor movement is at stake and that
the continued progress of radical po-
litical organizations depends largely
upon what happens next week. 1t
adds this significant sentence: Min
nesota is the crucial point this year
and the progressive tendencies of the
nation must not receive a setback by
Upon the fate of the collar-shed-
ding, diapasoned.voiced candidate of
the radical forces in Minnesota, it is
urged, will depend the course of future
national legislation. If johnson is
elected advance will be given to the
movement for the public ownership of
means of transportation and commu.
nication, the fuel supply and other
natural resources and control of the
medium Of exchange.
In other words, proclaims this organ
of labor in Minnesota, elect Johnson
and step out toward complete change
of national policy. defeat johnson and
check the movement toward sovietism
in the United States.
1t may be questioned whether such
frankness is calculated to help or
hurt the farmer-labor candidate. APP
parently the managers for Gov. Preus
and the candidate himself are willing
to press this issue and to put up to
the voters the question Of radicalism.
Recent dispatches indicate that there
has been a turn in the tide, favoring
Preus. OF course, prediction signs
are not always accurate. Minnesota
may be headed right now toward rad
icalism or it may be preparing for a
conservative reaction. Only the count
of the votes next Monday will disclose
the fact. But it is meanwhile i'm
portant to observe that the contest
has its national significance and that
the outcome may have a decided bear
ing upon the greater contest a year

France Ratifes.

France has set the capstone upon
the Washington conference on limi
tation of ornaments. the senate final.
ly ratifying by d vote of 297 to the
naval limitation treaty. The United
States, Great Britain, Italy and Japan
had all previously ratified the pact.
At the same time the French senate
took this action, SO gratifying to the
United States. there was circulated in
the French chamber of deputies a re.
port of the army commission for re.
organization of the land forces OF
France. 1t contemplates an army of
100000 men. 1t says: I'VE are pre-.
pairing the army for war, which we
are resolved to prevent
Two opposed schools of thought are
here. The one, given tremendous i'm.
petus at the Washington conference
Of the powers as means of insuring
peace and relieving the peoples of the
earth of burdensome taxation and the
calamities of war. The other, older
but still somewhat modern, advances
the theory that in order to preserve
peace a nation must be armed to the
teeth against it's neighbors in the
hope that its neighbors will be afraid
t. tackle it.
The theory that arms are made for
making war is not far removed from
the theory that arms are made for
preserving peace. Not many centu-
rIes ago it was frankly admitted that
big armies were for conquest. Fight
ing was a joyous pastime. No one
would have suggested that the armies
of Caesar, of Attila, or of Napoleon
were for the maintenance of peace.
But the would-be conquerors of to-
day, it seems, must cloak their aims.
The recognition of this necessity indi-
Gates perhaps step in the direction
of final victory for the school of
thought which maintained at the
Washington conference.
In the meantime it is we'll to recall
what the naval limitation treaty does.
It's outstanding features are the limi
tation of the number of capital ships,
recognized as the offensive naval
forces, so that the United States and
Great Britain shall have $4,000 tons
of such vessels: France and Italy
$4,000 tons and Japan $4,000; the
limitation of capital ships to $4,000
tons each and their guns to 16-inch
caliber; the limitation of auxiliary
craft to 10000 tons each, with guns
not to exceed S-inch caliber.
No limit is placed, it is true, upon
the number of auxiliary craft, cruis-
ers. submarines, etc, which each of
the nations may build. The Washing
ton government had hoped for such
limitation and worked out plans for it.
But France would not agree. claiming
that she needed unlimited submarines
for coast defense.
The naval limitation treaty runs
until December 81, 1926, and in case
none of the contracting powers has
given two years notice before that
date of it's intention to terminate the
pact, it shall continue in operation,
with two years notice necessary at
any time for it's termination. The re-
suit of the treaty has been to halt a
disastrous race in the building of huge
war vessels at tremendous cost. Its
proponents have by no means given
up hope that within the years to
come the principle of limitation may
he extended still further.
