For Peace.

q Boston man has given II ,000, 900 in fur
therance OF a purpose Ito unite the bust
ness men Of the world In q great per-
manent association which shall have for
its object the suppression of war"
1t has been observed that despite some
contrary signs the tide OF public senti-
ment all over the world il setting in the
the direction Of q limitation OF armament.
The trend may not be apparent to all
men. There Is a rivalry in armament
among the governments OF Europe. Ma
lions more or less aloof from the politics
of Europe find 1t expedient to augment
their military expenditures.
Disarmament sentiment Is growing be-
cause the strain on the tax-bearing ca
pacity Of peoples IL growing. Every new
tax made necessary for military purposes
makes converts to the peace sentiment.
An end to the tax strain must come. Peo-
pie cannot permanently endure it. One
end Of the strain might come by war.
That would probably result in paralysis
Of the loser and exhaustion of the winner
for many years after the conflict. and the
cost. evils and destruction might give q
check to the commercial and territorial
ambition of the worlds powers, especially
in view Of the growing intimacy Of the
worlds commercial life and the strength

Mr.. Fairbanks.
From the Shanghai Times.

The presence in Shanghai of Mr.. c..
w. Fairbanks, ex-Vice President of the
United States. serves as q reminder of the
increasing interest being taken In the at
fairs Of China by America. The distin-
xuished career Of Mr.. Fairbanks in the
Senate, and his later election to the high
ONCE Of Vice President. furnish the best
possible guarantee of his being able to
properly represent the opinions and aims
OF his countrymen. While his visit Is In
no way official. he himself not being an
officer at the present time OF his govern
ment, yet he has been accorded by japan
and China the highest honors. In Picking
he was received by the prince regent, and
all the leading ministers of state called to
present their respects to him. The time
Of his visit to the capital had been plan
ned long before the arrangements for the
American participation In the railway
loans had been mooted. but coming as it
did Immediately after the final negotiations
It did much to emphasize the fact that
Americas action in this matter had only
been taken In a most friendly spirit. The
influence exerted has been indirect, but
none the less beneficial. as evidencing in
an unofhcial way the real bond of SYM
pathy between the two nations. The large
body of Chinese students studying in
America has for more than a quarter of
a century turned the attention Of the
American people toward China, and that
interest was greatly deepened by the visit
OF HIS Hi8nneS6 Trlnce Fu Lun 10 inc OF.
Louis exposition. and the later visit Of the
travelling commission. Of which II. e.
Vioeroy Tuan Fang was a member. The
visit Of Mr.. Fairbanks to China at the
present time has elected more interest in
Chinese ohicial circles than that of any
other American since the visit. more than
thirty years ago. Of ex-President Grant
to Canton. Mr.. Fairbanks, in leaving
China, will carry with him the regard and
appreciation OF Americans in China for
i1is dignined and appropriate representa-
ton Of their country.

The deplorable accident Of last Wednes-
day evening on Connecticut avenue ex-
tended. which resulted In the death Of
Mrs. Hubbard, calls attention in more
than one respect to the manner In which
puhiic work IL done on the streets and
roads Of the District. The suggestion has
already been advanced In The Star that
In ne circumstances short Of unavoidable
necessity should both sides of roadway
occupied by car tracks be blocked at the
same time for any purpose. 1t is further
moro to be noted that improvement Is
possible in the matter OF the speed at
which such work is performed. A few
weeks ago The Star called attention to the
tact that the resurfacing Of the city
streets begun under the new appropriation
act was in many instances being carried
on SO slowly that traffic was being seri-
ous!y and 1t would seem unnecessarily i'm
peded. In one instance more than thirty
days were occupied In work of this char
aeter on q certain thoroughfare covering
q range Of three blocks.
It should be the fixed rule Of the Dis
trict government to permit no street OPEN
inss that are not absolutely necessary and
to insist upon the performance of all such
v4rks with the utmost speed compatible
with good results. The casual observer
Of street work Is rarely impressed with
the enterprise and activity of the gangs.

10 ordinarily to he supposed that a con-
tf4eter. paid lump sum for the perform
ppee Of specific job, would be impelled
by ordinary business reasons to keep his
work moving as rapidly az possible. On
this supposition 1t is plain that reforms
are necessary somewhere along the line.
OF course concrete must dry and set,
and there are delays in the delivery Of
material. but in case of good business
infringement the work Is not begun until
the materials are all at hand, and street
surfaces should never be disturbed until
everything Is ready to rush the work to
= quick conclusion. II the thoroughfares
Of the District were regarded with more
consideration for the comfort and the
safety OF the public. for whose use and
benefit they are established and main
tsined, there would be less danger in the
course Of the occasional changes and re-
pairs.

The Maryland Election.
From the New York Sun.

FrOm the new 1Otk
In the Maryland election November 2
an issue Of surprising interest and sig
nificance is to be disposed Of. The issue
IL that Of eliminating the colored vote.
There is no other issue of mentionable
importance, and even that is presented in
such fashion that no specious special
pleading or hypocritical evasion can OBJ
scure it. The object at the bottom Of the
agitation Is the cancellation of the negro
vote in Maryland and the guarantee Of
the right Of franchise In perpetu!ty to all
other races. classes and conditions. The
ballot Is to be taken from the negro. but
it is to be preserved forever to the igno-
rant and shiftless rabble Of Aryan ex-
traction.
Maryland is in some respects a feudal
community. 1t Is conceivable that the en-
gaging clamor of great men who repre-
sent the states traditions may impress
and even sway the deliberate conclusions
OF the yeomanry. There are indications
and to spare to that effect. Nevertheless
we do not believe it. We do not believe
that Maryland will be in the end domi-
mated by hypocrisy so obvious and SO
transparent. We prefer to think. In fact.
that In the final outcome it will appear
that Maryland has voted in the light Of
common sense and justice.

Mr.. Bryan's Income.

Mr.. Bryan makes effective reply to the
charge that he has improperly employed
his political honors for personal gain.
OF course he has lectured prof1tably,
and published a successful journal. But
had no not the right to do so? After his
defeat in 1896, should he have gone into
his shell and subsisted on the little he
had laid by. or returned to his job as a
newspaper employe at the same wages
he had been receiving before the lightning
struck him? These questions answer
themselves. He took the everyday course.
That is to say, he responded to the in
creased popular interest in him, and be-
ran filling the new fields that fortune
had opened. Every dollar in his pocket
has been earned legitimately.
When Mr. Cleveland left the White
House In March, 1889, he settled IN New
York city as a member of a leading law
Arm. Had he been invited to join on
the strength Of the reputation he had
made rs a member of the Buffalo bar?
Certainly not, for that was very slender.
when, after his second term as Presi-
dent. he took service with Thomas r.
Ryan in the insurance business was 1t
because of his knowledge of that bust
ness? Certainly not. In both cases he
proflted by the political honOrs he had
enjoyed. His name was up, and very
high. and brought him opportunities to
which he would otherwise have been
stronger.
IT 10 an ordinary thing for men to leave
the public service for private engage
uaents Of a more lucrative kind. We see
them 70 from the cabinet. from the Sen
-. $-ov,, tho HOUSE from ht1h diDlOmati
posts, to the bar or to business to in
crease their incomes. They capitalize the
regulations they have made in politics at
az substantial figure as possible. In
fact, in small towns. the business of
Law firm is frequently Jumped from
small. to a large figure by the election OF
one Of its members to an important office
1.-The governorship of a state. or sena-
torship, or membership in the national
House.
Mr.. Bryan should not be sensitive on
this score. They all do it. The celeb
rity 10 worthy Of his hire. At any rate,
there is great demand for him in this
country. AMI the pay is good. shrinking
from engasements. or appearances only
Tor charity, would be afYectation. The
public would set down such a man as too
reod for this world, and wonder how he
ever made his way to the front In the
Arst place.
Does this sensitiveness point to 1912?
10 Mr.. Bryan watching every corner and
replying to every charge in order that,
even in small things, his enemies shall
neither surprise nor injure him? He may
think eternal vigilance the price OF a
fourth nomination.
