tism and centraizaton in government Yet
Mayor Mcclellan assured his Democratic Club
hearers that ''radcalism has no place among
the followers of jefferson" Because Jefferson
preached individualism, Jeffersonans like Mr..
Mcclellan like the Hon Samuel W. Mccall
hold that free scope must be given both
TO the real individual and TO the artificial indi-
vidual multiplied TO the millionth power in
strength through the fiction of Incorporation.
This is the Jeffersonianism which asks that nd-
vidual rights be not abridged hairs breadth,
when il really means TO demand that corpora
tions shall be free TO exercise unchecked all the
rights ever vested in the single and relatively
powerless individual.
President Woodrow Wilson is too close a stu
dent of American history TO confuse the situa
ton jefferson dealt with and the situation with
which we have TO deal to-day. Therefore he
frankly repudiates Mayor McClellan's premises
by admitting that it is impossible TO apply
1.-The policies of the time of jefferson to the
time we live in" We can apply only the great
Virginian's ideals, President Wilson urged
and these ideals must always appeal more to the
radical than 10 the conservative temperament.
Mr.. Wilson sensbly pointed out that the Jeffer
sonian must discriminate between the actual in
dlvldual and the corporate Individual dis
crlmlnatlon the necessity of which the SUI
preme Court has recently emphasized. Therein
lies the whole cruX of the controversy within
the Jefersonian ranks. Yet in introducing san
lty instead of solemnity into this discussion the
president of Princeton University has perhaps
set an embarrassing precedent. If reason not
rhetoric, is 10 rule on these feStal occasions
they Will soon lose their present o1aoueness and
oracular charm.

THE REQUISITES OF A SCOUT.

In the comment ELECTED by paper presented
10 the Institution of Naval Architects in Lon
don a fortnight ago there was a somewhat
curious diversity of opinion. The subject under
discussion was the proper design and arma-
ment Of so-called 'scout ships" Admiral Fftz-
gerald made high speed the great essential but
he would combine with that quality coal ca
pacity giving the vessel greater radius OF
action than that of a destroyer Two or three
other speakers held substantially the same con-
victions but at least one of them had n some
what different standard in mind. Admiral Gus
tance regarded Admiral FitZgerald's vessel as
deficient in fighting power and needessly fast.
This disagreement about characteristics ap-
parently springs from a disagreement to the
functions of the craft which the experts were
considering. If the duty of the scout is that
which its name would imply, n strong argument
can be made for sacrificing everything to speed
Armor and heavy guns would interfere with
swiftness of movement. To discover where an
encmy's ships are and to learn their number and
strength Ii is necessary to employ n vessel
which can conduct the observation while the
fighting ships to which ii ministers are yet out
of sight. A suitable distance between scout
and feet can be secured. of course. by holding
the latter back while the scout pushes ahead
In that case any old tub might be assigned 10
the task On the other hand emergencies might
arise which would make II desirable to press
the search while the batteships and ar1nored
cruisers were under way. If so, the detached
vessel should be faster than those with which
she is associated Wireless teegraphy makes il
possible to report important facts instantly but
it will never enable fleet commander to find n
foe who is hidden by the horizon. 1t will al
ways be necessary to rely on proximity and
eyesight. In naval development there has lony
been IA tendency toward specialization of tvpes
and this may go further than il has VET gone
Even now, however, there seems to be n dis
tinct need for the kind Of vessel described by
Admiral Fitzgerald. and its usefulness would

RENEWING LAPsED POLICIES

One OF the unfortunate effects of the insur-
ance investigation disclosures was that they
prompted many policyholders TO drop their in
surance They had apparently, lost faith in the
whole business and were willing to sacrifice all
that had been paid in. How serious this was
appears clearly from the statement recently is
sued by Mr.. Paul Morton president of the
Equitable. That company alone saw 27,3S5 pol
icles lapse for amounts of $1,000 or less and It
is fair TO assume that the other large companies
suffered prOpOrtiOnate losses.
Instead of leaving to the regular agents the
work of persuading those policyhoIders to
change their minds. Mr.. Morton sent to each a
personal letter explaining the methods and
purposes of the new management and showing
the unwisdOm of perssting in a prejudice based
on causes which have been eradicated The re-
sponses are coming in daily. They show that
the feeling of distrust and suspicion Is rapidly
disappearing and that the assurances of honest
efficient and economical administration have had
the expected effect.
The lesson taught is worth p0ndering 1t
means that business dependent upon the good
viii and confidence of the public must be so
conducted as TO be above suspicion and that
those who are contributing the funds must be
kept Informed frankly and Squarely as to the

Speed being made the great requisite of a
scout, there should be no difficulty in determin-
ing what sort Of machinery she ought to have.
Professor Biles, leading authority in such mat
ters told the Institution of Naval Architects
the other day that If turbines Were used instead
of reciprocating engines two or three knots more
might be obtained from scout, and more space
than otherwise would be available for fuel
Unless he is mistaken, the Navy Department or
the United States made wise decision when
it gave the preference TO turbines for the pro-

UNIMPROVED OPPORTUNITIES

At the same time with the gratifying reports
of extension of our trade with Cuba under the
reciprocity system comes an authoritative re-
minder that il might, our side be much
further extended if only our manufacturers
and merchants would improve the opportunity
which lies before them with the discretion, tact
and adaphveness which some Of their European
competitors display. The subject is an old one
TO which we have often called attention, but
we must once more point the moral which Is
set forth in current report from the Ameri-
can Consul at Cienfuegos
American trade is affected by the refusal of
the exporters to give long credits, generally
ceded by European houses, which range from
three to six months. II Americans were to give
greater attention to the needs of the Cuban
population in regard to the style of goods they
want and extend the terms of credit the trade
could be greatly increased. AS an instance, take
cast iron pots and portable furnaces for outdoor
in such enormous quantities that the neglect of
iron founders in the United States to acquire
this entire trade is quite surprising.
Schiller makes the mighty Talbot truly
claim, with stupidity the gods themselves bat
tie in vain." Reciprocity is not meant to put
premium on stupidity or lack of enterprise. 1t
is intended 10 give some advantage TO our trad
ers. provided they exercise business shrewdness
and enterprise in a measure comparable with
their competitors, but not otherwise. The Gu
bans enjoy that advantage. because they have
sense enough to improve their opportunity. But
how long would they be able to send fOur-hfths
of their products to this country if they did not
send the kinds of sugar and tobacco which
American consumers want?
