Our Naval Armament.

Complaint was made by naval spe-
cialists that the United States naval
board took no lessons from the Russo
Japanese war because it clung to the
idea that the big battleship is the chief
element of strength in a fleet. AS our
armament shows up in parade and
on paper the big vessels appear in pro
portions that suggest that the naval
authorities are prepared for pitched
battles. Exclusive of the battleships
and armored cruisers undergoing ex-
tensive repairs we have twenty -one of
the former and eight of the latter, and
eiyht battleshipS and four armored
cruisers are under construction or pro
jected
To look at an armored cruiser seems
as formidable as a battleship. For the
chase and blockade the navy is well
provided without weakening the fight
ing fleet. Japan is strong in torpedo
boats and destroyers, having afioat
more than double the number of this
class of vessels owned by the United
States. Japan also favors the armored
cruiser, for in her present armament
there are ten of this class as against
eleven battleships,. and she has under
construction four armored cruisers and
three battleships. Our naval authori-
ties have aimed at an all around up to
date fleet. and as at present constituted
it could form Il powerful flying squad
ron and at the same time muster enor-
nous strength for line of battle fight
ing

Under the Surface of The Hague.

4
While the question of the limitation
| of ornaments has grown upon the
| world within the last few years, the
| idea is older than the first Hague con-
| ference. Among the legacies left by
| the first conference were resolution
| and a wish. both formally adopted,
touching upon the limitation of arma-
| ment The resolution, which was car
ried unanimously, expressed the opin-
| lon that the restriction of military budg-
| cts is extremely desirable for the in
| crease of the welfare of mankind. The
| spirit of the resolution was expressed
| In the wish that the several govern
ments represented in the conference
may examine the possibility of an
| agreement as to the limitation of arm
ed forces by land and sea and of war
budgets
The chief point in the Russian pro
gramme for the conference of 1899 was
that of the limitation of armaments,
but in extending the invitation to the
powers for the second conference the
without touching on those which be-
long to the limitation of military and
naval forces" The cars representa-
tive, Professor de Martens has been
quoted as saying that the views of the
different governments whose capitals
he visited officially led him to believe
that this subject would be the liveliest
on the programme should it be brought
before the conference. At the same
time he believed from what he learned
in Paris and Berlin that the discussion
would not lead to practical results in
the way of disarmament From this
it would seem that certain influential
governments have their minds made up
to defeat the measure and are open to
conviction.
The fate of the limitation argument
however does not necessarily affect the
entire movement for international
peace The invitation calls upon the
covers to examine into the regulations
touching the pacific settlement of inter
National disputes, Besides, some of
the states in accepting the invitation
teserved the right to introduce topics
DOT included in the programme. Some
attitude is also given for direct peace
arguments in the freedom of "any
opinion which may be formulated at
the conference regarding the solution
of questions submitted for discussion" :"
From this it may be seen that the sub
iect of limitation may ripen through
vague discussion. If nothing further
comes of it at The Hague it may be
that the conference will appoint an in
ternational commission to handle this
important matter Independently.

Amending the Monroe Doctrine.

The failure of the Monroe doctrine to
say anything about the forcible collec-
tion of debts in South American states
by foreign creditors leaves loophole
for the use of force every time an Eu-
ropean claimant wants his money AS
things so the right to use force implies
the right to seize territory, temporarily
ut least so this omission puts the prin-
ciple announced in the Monroe doctrine
to the test every time an European
warship approaches South America
with commercial debt to collect This
was the situation in 1902, when Great
Britain, Italy and Germany made a
demonstration against Venezuela, there
by inspiring DR.. Drago, the minister of
foreign affairs in Argentina, to pro-
pound the doctrine which bears his
rame. DR.. Drago's original proposi-
ton was rs follows: -
The only principle which the Argentine
Republic maintains. and which it would
with great satisfaction see adopted in
principle that there can be no more t., ri
torial expansion in America on the part
of Europe nor any oppression of the peo-
nles of this continent because an unfor-
nate financial situation may compel some
one of them to postpone the fulfllment of
its promises In a word, the principle
which she would like to see recognized is
that the public debt cannot occasion
armed intervention nor even the actual
occupation of the territory of American
nations by European power
Practically all of the Central American
republics are debtor nations, and leniency
is needed with these smaller countries as
their resources are limited. This is known
by the creditors in foreign countries when
they permit these nations to run into debt
10 them; therefore if creditors would re-
cover let them bring the erring nation it
self TO trail before the supreme court.
Argentina was not directly interested
in the Venezuela miXup, but her prime
minister believed that it was time for
every South American state to an
nonce its position. DR.. Drago has
since modified the doctrine so as to
provide for an appeal to The Hague
court and the use of force as last
resort. In this form, it was presented
TO the aelegates at The Hague peace
conference. For industrial and COM
mercial reasons the chief powers of
Europe, notably Great Britain. Ger
many. France and Russia, might ac.
Quiesce in this measure in order to in
sure the good will of South America
If these trading nations approve, then
the fears of some South Americans
ing power on the exchanges of Europe
would seem to be groundless.

Momen,s Trades Unions.

A variety of views as to the future
of women's trades unions was display
ed at the recent conventions Of
leaguers held in the principal cities.
1t is self evident that the women can
not as speedily attain success as have
the men, because they have not the
voting power of the men. Upquestion-
ably the suffrage has helped men to
make their case heard. Protestants
who may keep their mad up until the
next election are not to be waved aside.
Even without the ballot the women
are finding that the development of
unions is n means of progress. Leagues
of unions have become necessary and
are step toward the naturalization
of interests and efforts. The organi2a-.
ton and management of women'S so
cial clubs are object lessons in practical
politics for the classes which engage
in this work Workingwomen should
not be outdone by women of more
leisure and opportunity, for if the bal
lot is given to the sex it must mean
more to the toilers than to those whose
interests are mainly social. 1t is
long way between enthusiasm for
cause in convention and fidelity to
that cause at the polls. This is an i'm
portant truth for women leaders to
learn. They may learn it in local I'M
ions and in conventions of federated
unions. And. falling to get the ballot,
they may also learn in these move
ments of organization and propaganda
how to WELD for the general good that
political influence they undoubtedly
have now among their relatives,
friends and associates who are already
voters

Teller Runvnn,s "Tip. !"

While the method of looting the
Windsor Trust company which Teller
Runyan pursued was bold and novel,
yet the incident was commonplace and
vulgar in a general way. After years
of faithful service a trusted employee
helps himself to the compaIiS's cash
and comes to grief. One feature, how
ever, of Runyan's fall was dwarfed by
the sensation connected with his dis
covery and arrest. This was the "tip"
which first made him a thief. For
some reason not clearly disclosed Run
van was tempted to take from the piles
of bank bills in his keeping daily the
sum of $4,000 TO speculate in securi-
ties. Every dollar of it was lost, just
as in nine cases out of ten it would
have been lost by novice in finance
and speculation.
Now Runyan was man of impor-
tance in the concern which he served.
Daily he met men connected with other
financial institutions, and there was
little which can be known of the value
of stocks that he could not learn. Hav-
ing decided to take a plunge with the
banks money and make good for the
borrowed capital, he naturally looked
about for the best chance to win. Di-
rectly or indirectly he took or obtained
a 'tip" on the best thing going. 1t
turned out to be worth no more than
the guess of novice who reads the
prospectuses of stock booming compa-
nies.
The notion is somewhat current that
there are endless chances to make mon
ey in stocks if one only has the nerve
and is on the ground in person or rep
resented by an honest agent. But the
Centers of speculation are filled With
men having plenty of capital who are
ready TO take up every sure thing
that offers. Millions of dollars are han
died daily by men like Runyan, and
they would borrow capital without risk
if it were possible to make money in
stocks as easily as some outsiders i'm
agine. The fact is that the whole busi-
ness of speculation is q gamble of the
widest type, and man on the inside
like Runyan has to take his chances
with the 'hayseed" speeulator who
doesn't know the a B of the market

If the navy department escapes the
embarrassment attending the employ
ment of foreign vessels to carry coal
for the great battleship fleet on its trip
to the Pacific it will be lucky. 1t is
very probable that one of the striking
incidents of the transfer of the fleet
will be the disclosure of the fact that
the government is dependent upon for
eign vessels TO handle its coal supply.
The squadron now on the Pacific coast
is short of coal, and supply is being
sent to it in vessels flying foreign flags.

More Money Order Offices.

Those citizens who enjoy the benefits
which Uncle Sam extends through the
postoff1ces may think it strange that
everybody does not share equal privi-
leges. There are some $4,000 post
offices in the country. At all of these
registry business may be transacted,
but only $4,000 are authorized to do
money order business.
In accordance with a desire to meet
the needs of the business public, in
Guiding the town merchant prince and
the crossroads country storekeeper,
Postmaster General Meyer is consider
ing plans to extend money order facil-
ties. Under the authority vested in
him by law he will establish the money
order business in many thousands of
offices where it does not now exist.
A further reform will be suggested
to congress at its next session by the
postmaster general This will be the
authorization of postal notes for small
amounts, which may be secured with
out filing written notice and at post
offices where it is not practical to issue
money orders.
The postal note is sometimes safer
than a registered letter and is in every
respect as simple and convenient

Businesslike Portuguese.

Our Backing of Cuba.

1t has cost over 100000 for this
country to keep order in Cuba nine
months. OF course the money will be
refunded out of the Cuban treasury,
and instead of our milking" the hap
less island now that she is in a sad
plight it is claimed by level headed ma
tives that we are more than paying our
own way-that is to say, Cuba can
we'll afford to keep American protec-
ton, even though it comes high.
1t is Cuban public opinion which
holds that the provisional government
set up by the United States should
last and last Indefinitely. The argu-
ment by Cuban conservatives is that
the moment the Americans withdraw
the country will be at the mercy of
conflicting cliQueS and politicians. An
nexation is not demanded in this case,
for it is held that at day not hope
lessly distant the professional politi-
clans and ''revolutionists" of Cuba will
die out. American example in all this
time will teach the people to work, the
security guaranteed by American occu-
patton will convince them that it pays
TO work, for the sower of the seed and
not gang of loafng bandits will reap
the harvest. This view makes Uncle
Sam paid police officer, and unless
he shirks the job it is good for ten or
dozen years longer.

Time to Stop Knocking.

The warning words of Mr.. J. ]. Hill
did not come too soon. As a nation we
have eaten our cake and assumed that
it would last forever 1t is simple
horse sense. as Mr.. Hill points out, for
US to take stock of our prosperity and
try to conserve its sources, The mex
haustible bank. like perpetual motion,
remains to be discovered.
But while listening to words of eau
ton from the great captains of COM
merce we should not echo them with
shouts from the housetnp. Whether
industry and prosperity increase or
diminish depends upon the people
themselves. 1t is useless to stop work
for fear the bottom is going to drop out
and all labor go to waste. 1t is possi-
BILE to save something from the worst
wreck. If all be lost but courage, the
disaster is not irretrievable The easy
money era must vanish, but trade,
which is only the exchanging of an old
dollar for a new one, does not spell
bankruptcy.
