To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The importance of the study of sex
hygiene, particularly for young people,
is being realized more and more. An
encouraging sign for the future is the
interest that thousands of mothers are
taking in the best methods of training
children to a better understanding.
Some of these mothers live in poor
homes in neighborhoods where their
children are exposed to evil communal
cations.
The judicious mother can get a hold
on her sons or daughters through this
subject so that she can guide them
safely. Many mothers, because of mod
esty, have lost control of the confidence
of their boys at the adolescent stage.
DR.. Felix Adler says that the subject
of sex hygiene should be treated as a
part of the course of hygiene in gen.
eral along with such subjects as the
proper care of the eyes, teeth and diet.

JAPAN ESTABLISHED ON OUR COAST.

I'D UMORS of a Mexican grant of a site on Magdalena bay to a
I'm Japanese commercial company, to be converted into a naval
station and Japanese colony, have been rife for some time,
Denials have been forthcoming, but they were inconclusiye. 1t
does not appear that the state department has made any serious
Inquiry into the matter, but has taken Mexican good faith for
granted. Senator Lodge, of the foreign affairs committee, is not
satisfied with this attitude of the administration. He wants to
know the exact situation. If Mexico has made such a grant, or
contemplates doing so, the fact is one of vital Importance to this
nation. We are building the Panama canal and when it is com
pleted our coast line will practically embrace both coasts, includ
ing Magdalena bay. The establishment of a Japanese naval sta
ton there, to command the Pacific entrance to the canal and our
great trade route, would be intolerable to the American nation.
We don't propose TO have a European naval power secure a footing
on the Atlantic coast of Central America. Shall we permit an
Asatic naval power to do so on the Pacific coast?

LOW CANAL TOLLS or NONE AT ALL.

R0AILROAD interests, which contriyed for many years to prevent
Inn the building of an isthmian canal and even bribed the
officials of Colombia to take an attitude against it, are
now continuing ways to make the canal of no practical use to our
commerce. They have Influenced banking interests to refuse loans
for Independent steamship lines and have induced shipbuilders to
refuse to build the ships. And they want the canal tolls to be so
high that shipmasters will prefer to take the Magellan Straits route.
Director-General Barrett, of the Pan-American Union, shows that
the/ usefulness of the canal depends on the reasOnableness of the
tolls and that if the railroads shall secure high canal tolls it will
mean the sacrifice of S%750,O00O00 of commerce in a year. In the
last FIVE years our commerce with South America has been in
creased by ~$150OO0O00 a year, showing how the Latin-Amencan
market is being developed. Reasonable tolls. or a to1less canal, will
immensely stimulate that trade as well as that of the Far East.
There should be a tollIess canal for our coastwise trade, since the
canal is only a continuation and connection of our Atlantic and
Pacific coast lines.

THE NEW INTERCHANGEABLE.

TATE BANKING COMMISSIONER VIVIAN NJ. LEWIS
who has been appointed by Chancellor Walker to be his
successor as vioechancelor, possesses all the advantage
of a wellmatured youth and a ripe experience of men and affairs
as well as of a welltrained mind and knowledge of the law. Mr.
Lewis has also the advantage of a journalistic training in his earlier
years, which helped to broaden him out for the important actiyi
tes of his afterlife. and he had several years experience in the
National Guard. AS city counsel of Paterson he learned municipal
organization law and needs. Translated to the ohancery clerkship
he obtained an experience that will be invaluable to him as vice
chancellor. And his term as banking and insurance commissioners
has given him a wide knowledge of subjects that will come before
him judiciaIly. The personality of Mr.. Lewis, his social qualities
and his unfagging interest in public affairs have made him popular
throughout the State, and his appointment to the bench meets with
appreciation in adj quarters.

A NEW WACHT AN RHINE.

ERMAN military science is ever in the van of military
VII progress. Germany was the first nation to develop the
diPigible balloon for war purposes, and surprised the world
by the results. Close attention has also been given to the aero
plane, and both are now a part of the German army system. There
is now to be established a new Wacht am Rhine, a complete
aerial corps, to be located on the frontier of France, fully equipped
and ready for any emergency. Of course, the Russian frontier will
be similarly guarded. With these new appliances of war what
wonders will be witnessed when the nations of Europe again come
together in armed collision.

oTraHE passage by the House of a joint resolution authorizing
Ias-the war department to secure 5000 acres in Tennessee as
l4 maneuver camp raises the question why the government
should not buy land in the hills of Northern New Jersey for the
Joint benefit of the regulars in this section and the New Jersey
National Guard. The guard is now virtually a part of the regular
army, and shares it's training. The tract referred to has been sg
gested for purchase by the State as the successor to Sea Grit,
which has no value for field training. Let the Federal govern
me1t provide an ideal maneuver terrain for both the national and
State soldiery hereabouts in the Sussex hills. The land can be
cheaDlv purchased.

HIS Chat IN THE RING"

TT T is now evident that when Roosevelt said his hat was sin the
ring he meant business. His speech at Louisville last night
was the most militant made in his campaign. 1t had a Ken
mcky ring in it and he was on Kentucky soil. IT related more
directly to Taft personally than the previous addresses. 1t was
not without reason that the Taft managers apprehended the effect
upon the Taft candidacy of campaign speeches by Roosevelt. It's
sertain that they did not exaggerate it. And with every speech
fhere will be an increasing desire at Taft headquarters to switch
off the party nomination to Hughes.
