"Larboard" was formerly used TO des-

starboard is used today for the right
side. In 1915 the British Admiralty
changed larboard To port, in order
that the word should not be confused
with starboard. Starboard is common

Colonial Defense.

One important development OF the re-
cent jingo outbreak IS the concentration of
public attention on the problem OF the
Philippines. Most Of the war talk is based
on belief that Japan has designs on those
islands, and no recent manifestation OF
popular sentiment is more significant than
the widely held opinion that while, If
the islands were attacked. we would not
give them up without a fight, they are
not worth fighting for. To the man in the
street they are nothing more than a
problem. administrative and military.
which he would gladly be rid of, If the
act of riddance carried with it no impu-
tations upon our national honor. But no
one knows precisely how the riddance
may be accomplished.
Assuming that the islands must be
defended, and that there is a potential
enemy against which they must be guard
ed. it is obvious that if we are TO con-
tinue our present colonial policy, the cost
Of it will be something appalling. Secre-
tary Taft admits that the cost of the
military establishment in the Philippines
Is about 100000 annually over and above
what would be expended If there were
no Philippine scouts and if the army
were housed in the United States. There
is no way of ascertaining the amount
of our naval expenditures properly
chargeable TO the defense of the archi-
pelago. Up to the time of the Spanish
war our entire naval establishment cost
less than $&O.Oo0,o0O a year, exclusive Of
expenditures for increase Of the navy. In
1906 the cost of the naval establishment.
exclusive OF the item of increase of the
navy. was 100000 Is it too much TO as
sumo that one-third of our increased naval
expenditure is chargeable to the Philip
pines? If this is true. it is costing us
as much for the naval defense Of the
Philippines as it did for the defense. Of

Chairman Knapp Explains.

Chairman Knapp, Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. supplements the com
MISSIONS report on Hartman by some OBJ
| seryations Of his own explanatory of the
| failure OF that report to recommend the
prosecution OF the railway magnate for
/ assumed offenses against Federal laws.
Nr Knapp points out. in the first
place. that the Hartman method Of eX-
tending and unifying railway control
through stock purchases is not in viola
ton of any Federal law, although II il
could be shown that il brought about
such combination in restraint Of trade
as is inhibited by the sherman law it is
possible an action would lie under that
statute. But the duty of enforcing that
law rests with the Department Of JUS
tice, and not with the commission. Mr..
Knapp shows that the Union Pacific, by
its charter, is authorized to make such
stock purchases as We're made by Harri-
man, and the Southern Pacific. by the
terms Of its charter. is a holding
| company. Mr.. Hartman. therefore. in
making investments in railway. stocks.
was exercising the legitimate powers Of
railroad corporations chartered by the
States Of Utah and Kentucky.
Mr. Knapp declares there is no ground
for the criminal prosecution Of Hartman,
for the reason that he obtained immunity
| by giving testimony before the commits
sion. and in the Northern Securities case
/ besides being protected as 10 some Of his
/ transactions by the statute Of limitations
| Moreover, it is a mooted point whether
any Of these transactions were IN viola
/ tion Of the criminal provisions Of the
/ Sherman law. In view Of this aspect Of
! the case, II was thought by the commits
sion more important to develop and ex-
pose the actual facts by putting Hartman
on the stand than 70 attempt civil or Grim
inal prosecutions on uncertain grounds.
The disclosure Of the Hartman methods
followed this decision OF the commission.
and the main facts developed by the in
quiry have been presented in the reports
just published
Mr.. Knapp's explanation will not sat
isfy those who have been demanding that
somebody be put in Jail as a horrible ex-
E
is sound sense in the view that an i'm
portant public service was performed by
putting Hartman on the stand and bring
ing out the whole truth concerning mis-
railroad stock jobbery. It is an interest
ing question whether that proceeding did
not accomplish as much TO purify the
railroad atmosphere as the prosecution
and conviction of Hartman would have
done. At all events. it accomplished more
than an unsuccessful prosecution would
have done, and it has had the effect of
awakening a strong sentiment, even in
the region of high finance, against the
Hartman methods. so that there is rea-
son 10 hope the disclosures will operate
as a real preventive check TO 'fndefensi-
be financiering."
