There are important questions on
which there may be decided differences
OF opinion without affecting the hon
esty, responsibility, or prosperity of the
dissenting parties. There are questions
which are of importance in one part
of the world, but have no weight in
other parts. There are questions with
which we may refuse to concern our
selves without thereby jeopardizing our
standing among men. There is one
question, however, which is Of uni
versal importance and which demands
an answer from every human being on
the face of the earth. Upon the correct
answer to this question depends the
fate, the eternal issue and destiny Of
every human being 1t is the question
which was asked by Jesus now more
than 10 centuries ago, and addressed

Warns Against Advance
OF Methods of Warfare

To the Editor of The Star:
Practically all mankind has listened
to speech and music in the air. Either
now travels around the globe in eight
minutes. For some years past physi-
cistS have been hunting a method Of
spreading death and destruction as
widely and effectually as we now spread
speech and music.
From Britain comes the latest news
Last November the British Association
of Chemists were told at Liverpool that
IAN efficient death ray is no mere fig
ment of the imagination. Researches
are being carried out with invisible
rays of such power that they would
be capable of discriminating whole pop
ulationS." Three years ago the best
Cor worst) they could do was to incin-
crate one man miles distant but
we are advancing in knowledge and
power.
Moreover our chemists have been
equally busy and successful, for Prof
Lewis writes me that his gas, Lewisite
is about thrice (29) as deadly as any
used in the late war to end war. When
one realizes that the United States
Arsenal at Edgewood was nearly ready
to turn out $4,000 tons of poison gas
a month, and the number and size of
airplanes now available to disperse the
stuff, it Is not difficult to realize that
all the talk of security Is simply mis-
leading chatter, unless all nations agree
to really outlaw war, as they are pledged
IN honor to do, and to settle all differ
enceS by justice, to administer which
an International World Court has been
established. EDWARD BERWICK.

The Senator.Elect Governor.

Gov Huey P. Long does not at present
intend to take until early in 1882 the
seat in the Senate to which he was
elected November 4 last. AS he naively
explains the law of the State of
Louisiana does not permit him 70 be
both Governor and Senator at the same
time. The implication is that If this
were possible the picturesque Governor
Of Louisiana would I'LL both positions
until his term as Governor expires in
May, 1882.
The explanation given for Gov. Longs
reluctance to abandon the Governors
chair at this time is that the Lieuten-
ant Governor, politically hostile and
belonging to the faction which Gov.
Long defeated in the recent senatorial
election, would not continue his Gov.
Longs policies The Governor, it ap-
pears, is anxious to hold on as chief
executive and TO remain on the ground
in Louisiana instead Of coming 10 Wash
ington until he will have been able to
bring about the election OF a successor
TO himself as Governor who will con-
tinue the Long policies and incidentally
the Long organization there.
Unless Gov Long changes his mind
and decides to come to Washington and
take his seat at an earlier date than
he now plans, Louisiana must get along
with one Senator instead of two until
some time in 1882, after the present
session Of Congress expires March 4
Long was elected to the seat now held
by Senator Ransdell, whose term ex-
pires with the close of the present Con-
gress. If the new Congress meets in
special session this Spring, Mr.. Long
will be among the absent. And If the
new Congress does not meet until It's
first regular session next December, hf
will still be among the absent. Fe will
not be on hand to take part IN III q:

New York Sets Example.

From the Newark Evening News.
One of the foremost local events of
, the decade now closing will be the uni
fication of New York'S Subways and ele-
waited lines, If the bargain struck by
negotiators for the cities and the COM
panies is approved. It will pull together
the greatest transportation system of
any city in the world, a system that
runs into all the five boroughs of Great
er New York, except Staten Island,
which will be included whenever the
tunnel under the NarroWs becomes a
reality. Whatever may be said in criti-
cism of New York, it knows how to
set up a coordination of service in the
several communities that make up the
community of Greater New York.
This uni1cation may fairly be spoken
of as local event because, as the New
York Times pleasantly recognizes, New
Jersey is facile princepS among the
commuter zones. furnishing New York
big part of it's work-day population.
1t sends forth nearly three times as
many travellers to Manhattan's Offices
and shops as Westminster and Long Is
land. 1t is the source of large part of
the patrons of New York's subways
and elevated lines. For that reason it
is all the more a shortcoming that New
Jersey has no such unifying Set-up as
New York.
transportation In Northern Jersey is
unified in roundabout way, and unfit
cation is moving toward completion.
But the need for rapid transit transpor-
tation is not being anticipated. Sugges-
tons, such as Mayor Congleton made
year ago for a subway to Irvington, re-
main only suggestions and will until CO.
operation by the several communities
affected is organized. The initiative in
this matter should come from the COM
munities which aspire to be the leaders
in co-ordinated effort. They should
lead in the awakening of Northern Jer-
sey to the treatment of large areas as
regions with common interests that
transcend their political insularity
Transportation is only one of these in
terests. Others are just as vital. They
cannot be properly attended to unless
the several communities unite in COM
mon effort.
1t has taken New York a long while
to reach the unification agreement
nearly 10 years; all the more reason
why these Jersey communities should
be organizing themselves to accomplish !
here what New York has achieved.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

His wife is an American, the former
Gretchen Sterling James of Boston.
\ 4 X
Edward F. Colladay, Republican ma
tional committeeman for the District
OF Columbia, is bending beneath the
fluctuations Of his legal brethren for
his successful argument of the Go-Bart
Importing Co. case before the Supreme
Court. The courts verdict is smash
ing defense of the right of a citizen
against unreasonable searches and
without a warrant, Of the company's
offices in New York City and the
seizure of various records belonging
to it. The Go-Bart interests failed in
their efforts to retrieve their records
through an order of the lower Federal
courts. The case was then taken to
the Supreme Court, where it was
argued for the Government by So
licitor General Thatcher and for the
petitioners by Mr.. Colladay. In rem
dering the Supreme Courts opinion
Justice Butler said that 1.-THE need of
protection against general searches,
always deemed obnoxious to funda-
mental principles of liberty, is attested
alike by history and present condi-
tons" The court directed that the
United States attorney be enjoined
from using the seized papers and re-
quired to return them to their owners.

A well known Washingtonian was
recently the recipient of distinguished
official honors. He says that his
friends are heaping so much con-

No surprise is occasioned by the
assertion of Representative Clyde Kelly,
Republican, of Pennsylvania that Post
master General Browns scheme to
raise the letter postal rate from to
2I2 cents hasn't a Chinamans chance.
Kelly is one of the potent members of
the House Committee on Post Office
and Post Roads. He's the particular
guardian of postal employees welfare.
The Postmaster Generals proposal
evoked no enthusiasm in either branch
of Congress, and still less in the coun-
try at large No one has introduced a
bill to give effect to it. The proposition
fell fiat as soon as it emerged from
Mr.. Browns annual report, nor did it
achieve popularity as the result of
his speeches advocating it. Repre-
sentative Kelly enunciates a theory
generally held in Washington when he
describes the post Office as a public
service institution, like the Army or
Navy, and not as a money-maker for
Uncle Sam.

Auto Tag Distribution
Plan Seen Thieves Aid

To the Editor of The Star:
Doesn't the present system of issuing
automobile license tags materially help
thieves and INSCRIPTIONS persons?
Invent to the District Building Tuesday

the ownership of car is required Any
one can buy as many tags as they want
by merely filling out the application
blank. A thief would receive tags and
registration cards for any number of
cars he had in his possession. Out-of-
town thieves could send in to the Dis
trict and get as many tags as they
wished and the registration card would
bear the correct engine number on it.

Calls Safety Zones
Death Traps Instead

To the Editor OF The Star:
Washington's murder zones" mis-
named safety zones" place thousands
of citizens ION the spot daily.
The Star is to be congratulated on
its New Year day editorial calling at
tention to the dangers Of so-called
safety zones"
The responsibility for the inadequate
protection given passengers boarding or
alighting from street cars on Connecti-
cut avenue is about equally divided
between Congress and the Public Serv-
ice Commission. The Traffic Bureau
started to build safe safety zones" of
concrete, raised above the street level,
but Congress in its infinite wisdom
debarred further progress by deciding
that District funds could not be used
for that purpose. To Congress, Wash
ington citizens might say with the
gladiators of ancient Rome, "Morituri tie
salutamus We who are about to die
salute you"
The Public Service Commission, by
approving too frequent and unprotected
stops for street cars, with no regard
for safety, inaugurated the murder
zines" Each member of the Public
Service Commission should be asked to
try out the murder zones" on Con-
necticut avenue during the rush hours.
Congressman might get a thrill in the
same way.
Each evening, when I alight from the
street car on Connecticut avenue with
a dozen fast-moving electric headlights
glaring at me, two or three speedy,
trackless locomotives headed directly
fer me, and when I stand in a four
foot space between 30-mile- an-hour
motor vehicles passing on either side, I
merely wonder which one is going to
hit me. 1t is a sporting proposition
one calculated to increase alertness;
be quick, or be dead. Why worry-Who
wants to live forever? 1t is death a la
mode, for it is fashionable to get hit
by an automobile
One is not modern who wastes time
reading about gangsters being placed
''on the spot; just try one of the
spots" devised by Congress and the
Public Service Commission and get a
real thrill.
I sincerely hope that The Star will
continue its campaign to have safe
safety zones provided, for without them
death and destruction is rampant.

North Carolina STAYS Rural.

From the Charlotte IN. c. News.
The statistical facts show that North
Carolina continues rural in its popula-
ton no matter what may be happening
TO other sections of the country.
According to data disclosed by the
$50 census on April l, 1880, there were
809, SAT people living in North Carolina
cities and towns of upward of $500
population. At the same time there
were 1850 429 people living in the rural
sections of the State.
Only two States, Pennsylvania and
Texas, have more people living in the
rural sections than has North Carolina
There are 3,097,139 Pennsylvanians liv-
ing in the country and 3,435,36 Texans
similarly located.
Since the drift of the population from
the farms cityward is viewed with mis-
giyings by sociologiSts, North Carolina
should have no alarm from this source
since nearly three times as many of her
people live in the country as live in the
cities. The State is still strongly agri-
cultural.
But that in itself is suggestive Of an
other problem-the problem of such
social, economic and legislative adjust
ments as will bring the greatest benefit
to the greatest number in the occupa-
ton in which this greatest number is
involved. What North Carolina needs
and for that matter what the whole
country needs--is agricultural redemp-
ton.
