PUBLIC.

New York. March There was another
quick turn Of the cards in the trial of
Harry K. Thaw late today, when the
defense apnounced that it had concluded
to rest its case.
1t was nearly o'clock when Dolphin
NJ Delmas, chief of the Thaw counsel,
called District Attorney Jerome on the
telephone and made the announcement.
The district attorney was perhaps the
most surprised man in New York, for
it had been understood the Thaw attor-
neys would call one or two aliensts FRI
day morning.
Court will assemble tomorrow, as plan
ned, but what will be done is a question
much discussed tonight Mr.. Delmas Will
make the simple announcement:

A Draft ON Our National Honor.

A law approved July I, 1902, provided
that when certain specified conditions
should have been fulfilled legislative
power in the Philippine Islands would
be vested in a body TO be known as
the Philippine Assembly. The conditions
were met, an election was held and Mr..
TAFT went out TO be present at the OPEN
ing session of the new Assembly. Great
is sentiment and greater still is good
faith with such people as the inhabitants
of our possession in the Far East.
This praiseworthy demonstration hav-
ing been made, we may now pack that
particular brand of sentiment away until
some special call shall be made for its
resurrection and devote our attention
TO certain practical questions which in
volve our national honor Il is time that
we abandoned our present ridiculous
straddle between honesty and selfish
ness. II Is time for US TO cease TO regard
the Philippines as fish for certain pur-
poses and as flesh for other purposes.
We have indulged our sentiment by
recognizing what we have been pleased
10 regard as their political aspirations.
We have further indulged our sentiment
by the installation Of a somewhat extern
sive school system. We have given them
the ballot box and the school house; and
they pay the bills for both. Yet the
gifts are noble and we may take pride in
the donation. We have, however. with
held n gift which should be given TO all
who live under the American flag and
swear allegiance TO all that it represents.
That is a free entrance to our markets

We have provided the Filipinos with

why Four Moro Battleships Now /?

The sixteen battleships which will sail
from Hampton Roads in a few days for
Pacific waters have all been completed
within ten years, and all Of them carry
Pinch or 13-inch guns. Some Of them,
the Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, Louis
lana, New Jersey, Vermont and Vir-
Ginia, are recent additions to the navy,
and except vessels of the Dreadnought
type they are among the most powerful
warships ahoat. No nation but Eng
land has such a powerful homogeneous
feet of bsttleships. Japan at the present
time has nine modern vessels of the
first class in commi lsion, including the
Satsuma, of 10, 200 tons. The others are:
Shikishima, 5000 tons; Asahi, $1,000 tons;
Mikasa, $1,000 tons; Iwani (OreD, 1880
tons; Hizen Retvizan){ IL, 900 tons; Sewo
PObieda). $4,000 tons; Katori, $1,000 tons;
Kashima, 10000 tons. In gun power this
group is greatly inferior to the Atlantic
feet, which will soon change its name to
the Pacific feet.
In taking stock of our sea power it
must not be forgotten that we have
the Mississippi, Idaho, New Hampshire,
South Carolina, Michigan, Delaware and
North Dakota, and that the last Con-
gress authorized a Dreadnought. The
Mississippi, Idaho and New Hampshire
are almost completed, and the construc-
tion Of the South Carolina and Michigan
is well in hand. A year ago the President
was 80 well satisfied with the condition
of the naval establishment that he recon-
mended the addition of one modern ship

already obsolete. He now says (in his
message): "In my judgment we should
this year provide for four battleships
Nothing but Dreadnoughts will, of
course, satisfy him. Accordingly an
extra large appropriation is wanted for
the navy, no less a sum than SI1O, ,4S3, OF.
The President cites the failure of the
Hague conference to limit armaments
a. reason why we should add at once
and literally to our battleship feet In
Washington they call the army and navy
estimates the war scare budget" and
in a Washington despatch to the Balti-
more Sun appears this remarkable
statement:
The Presidents message Is found to have
deeper significance than at lrst reading. when
taken In connection with the enormously increased
estimates for the army and navy. the idea Is pre-
sented by Administration oficias that In the prep
sratIon Of these estimates the Government found
itself confronted with possibilities OF conflict with
A StrOnRly Intrenched nation"
There need be no beating about the
bush; the strongly intrenched nation"
which Administration officials have in
mind is Japan. But in modern battle
ships in commission we have already a
striking advantage and we also have a
superior reserve Of strength. Congress
must consider the recommendation of
four new modern battleships for this
year." which should cost SIS 5,OOO, 900 in
round numbers; but what shall be the
basis of necessity, or the exigency, 10
justify the appropriation? Shall we add
four great ships TO the feet because the
Hague conference failed to agree upon a
limitation of armaments, or shall it be
because the appropriations wanted are a
war scare budget? If the latter why
should we be scared?

Rigid Enforcement.

What would be the condition of the
community if those sections Of the liquor
tax law which prohibit the sale of intoxi-
cants in saloons between the hours of
midnight on Saturdays and o'clock in
the mornings of Mondays should be
enforced by the police of this town?
II 100000 persons have gone each Sun
day in the past to concerts of more or
less merit, and to theatres in which vaude-
vile was performed. who can estimate the
number Of those who have taken their
pleasure in consuming the forbidden
beverages of the drinking places that
have not hotel licenses? 1t is only the
humanity and generosity of the police
that permits these establishments to
continue their service to the public in
prohibited hours, and unquestionably
the application of a rule that all of them
should obey the statute would disturb a
number Of persons compared with whom
those who will suffer from the suspension
OF Sunday theatrical and musical per-
formances would appear as a mere
handful.
This annoyance no man expects 10
witness. The police rest comfortably
on their time honored confession that
they are incompetent to enforce the
liquor tax law, a confession which causes
them no feeling of shame and raises no
sentiment of surprise or indignation in
the minds of the citizens.

FOR many years We despised the miserable
