Hobson's Rcd Flag.
tNew London Telegraph )

It has come--as might have been ex- pected The recent naval review in Japanese waters embraced ID Japanese warsllips in line and Capt. Richmond Pearson liobson as usual, is first among the alarmists to wave the red flag of danger in the Pacific. In an open letter to the president he argues for keeping our batleship fleet in the Pacific, He sees our coast from Alaska to Southern California barred by the raids of the Japanese; contemplates our lnsuIar possessions in possession of the enomy--and worms tho president to keep the ships where they arc if he de- slrcs and the country desires to see the reverse of the HobsOrian calamity. All in all the letter Is a "Whoop" for battle and the one sensible conclusion in Hob sons arguments Is that the Atlantic is free from the problems which confront the Pacific, We wonder what the Jap- auose, who 70 recently gave evidence of thclr friendship. win think of the de- mands Of the ex-naval constructor and present congressman.

of running away from national respon-

and asks that the people now give him
an opportunity to put into operation
new reforms In respect to trusts and
In respect to guaranty Of bank depos-

In 1890. the savings banks Of the

was poor country then compared with
now. The amount was only an average
Of II cents for the population ot that

Now the people Of this country have
