John W. Foster In Diplomatic Memoirs"
In one Of my visits to the White House,
in referring to the clsmos for war, Presi-
dent Mckinley said to me-: These people
will have a different view Of the question
when their sons are dying in Cuba Of
yellow fever" Although a gallant soldier
during the civil war, his kindness Of
heart led him to look upon the horrors Of
war with great aversion.

Guarding the Strong Box.

One OF the gravest duties Of con-
gress at the session which opens today
will be the matter of holding the ex-
penditures within the revenues. The
administration is earnestly DESTROYS OF
having the representatives live up to
this w%stchword, but already there is
reported from Washington a movement
to raid the treasury with a public
buildings bill and one for rivers and
harbors appropriations aside from the
deeper waterways project.
The secretaries Of the War and
Naval departments have blazed the way
in the policy of retrenchment, with
announcements of estimates 2 2,00o,-
900 less than last year, a significant
indication Of the g%enuineness Of Mr..
Taft's proposal of economy all along
the line. Al the watchdog of the
treasury, Chairman \Tawney Of the
committee on appropriations may be
counted on for his customary vigilance,
but IL too many of the members be-
come importunate for a share Of the
pork barrel" for their constituents,
the session may result in the admins
tration's purpose being overridden. 1t
is an excellent opportunity for a dis
play Of craftsmanship against greed.

Needed Restrictions in Use of Wire

Washington Herald.
The right of eminent domain is being
put to a severe test these days. Laws for
the upper air are needed since the re-
markable development OF aerial navigation.
~Rronautics has not been alone in its
reaching out into the new field. Wire
less also has made the common use of the
air a subject for legal dlsptatlons, some
Of the brightest legal minds OF the coun-
try taking part In the controversy.
Civilization, asj)it grows more complex,
becomes more sootalistic. Barbarians need
not trouble TO askdwhether an act OF theirs
would interfere with the welfare OF others;
not so in modern,life. We are free only
so long as our acts do not work hardship
on our neighbor. The ~so-called pol ce
power in highly developed governments is
the greatest OF all authority.
Recently there has arisen a case where
drastic action is shown necessary. After
the wreck of the republic, and the saving
Of hundreds of lives by the use OF the Q.
Q. d. call, 1t became a habit with scores
OF amateu operators to flash the c. O. d.
from their stations. Some OF these could
send the waves several hundred miles.
The custom became so annoying that the
code for help" was changed to C.. 8 S.
Should those who make a toy OF the
wireless adopt the same tactics with this
signal as with the former, it might mean
that there will be serious accidents due
to the confusion arising from the ind.s.

not be used except in emergency. Unless
some curb is voluntarily placed on such
operators, it will be necessary for the fed
eral authorities to step in. federation too
quickly becomes abuse, and Interference
with wireless signals should be promptly
purhed.
