Current Comment
-FOUR HATTLEsHIPs NEEDED

(F,rom the Washington PostD
Three battle ships and possibly
four will be recommended in the
annual report of the Secretary
of the Navy, according to all in
dications. Four will be none too
many. The addition would not
mean that we were increasing our
naval program. 1t would merely
mean that we were repairing the
negligence of the past, when Con-
sress, instead of appropriating
for two battleships, in accord
ance with the national necessity,
appropriated only for one.
The Democratic party provided
only one battleship last year, and
only one the year before. If faith
is to be kept with the people. four
must be provided this year to
make up for the deficiencies OF
the past. The blows at our navy
delivered by Congress, have not
caused our stock to go up in the
opinion of the nations OF the
world

Challenge of the City" was pub
lished in 1907. He quotes what he
describes as a warning Of James
Bryce. He says that a few years
ago as a company of Americans
we're about to sail for the United
States Mr.. Bryce said to them:
GO back to your splendid world
across the sea; but don't you
make a failure Of il, You can not
go on rs years more in your great
cities as you have been doing
Don't you do It, II you do. you
will set us Liberals back in Eu-

This may or may not be a fair
report of Mr. Bryce's words. But
in his own monumental "Ameri-
can Commonwealth" the problems
of city government are discussed
at length. The new and revised
edition Of 1910 repeats the ter
rtble summing UP OF the original
work published 81 years before.
There is no denying that the
government OF cities is the one
conspicuous failure Of the United

Victories of Violence Are Transient
By Ebert HUBBARD

TERE is thought, penned in

liant by one who believes in
her Cause, but who deprecates
her methods.
The victories of violence are
transient
Things done in hate have to be
done all over.
And she who smears hand rails
with tar, puts muriatic acid into
mail boxes, places bombs in an
art gallery, burns hay barns.

lice. and is taken to Jail, must
face the consequences of her mis-
deeds, Just as if she were a male
man.
Two wrongs do not make a
right
Even though the woman wins
by violence, her victory is bought
at the price of her womanhood,
ighteoussw wrath is often an
excuse for a bad temper
Hatred OF the wrong soon yields
diminishing return.
We become like the thing we
hate-aye, more, we are the thing
We hate.
m-Lady Militant hates the
tyranny Of the male. Granting
that this tyranny exists, il has
grown up out of the centuries,
and has been fixed in the ages by
usage. II was old when Abraham
bartered with Laban for Rachel,

And gone forever from the lips that burned
There is more that be newly urned.
No vintage half rare is ever found
The gIRsz is broken into brittle bts,
Scattered upon the dusty banquet nool.
The empty bottle the door
Is cobweb-sealed where the gray spider nits.
The garlands grotesqueiy dead and dry
As mummed tresses in an ancient tomb
Like ghostly sheets they rustic in the gloom
When memoTy>s searching zephyrs hurry by.

" HE return of William F.
McCombs from Paris with

bassadorship on his hands brings
once more to the front the prac-
teal exclusion of high-class
Americans from important diplo-
matte posts unless they are rich

Mr.. McCombs is not now in a.
position to be compelled to de-
cline the French Ambassadorship,
but it is an open secret among
his friends that his essential rea-
son in the beginning for refusing
this dazzling honor was because
the salary OF s17,500, joined to his
own income, was not deemed suf-
f1cent for him to fill this place &C
ceptably.
In other words, through long
process of elevating rich men to
foreign missions, we have come
to the sorry pass that no Amer
lean OF whatever social or moral

can represent the interests of his
country at the seat of Euro

sPARkMAx SHOWS GOOD SENSE

A dispatch from Washington says
that Congressman Sparkman will
work against any reduction Of the
tariff on citrus fruits, which have very
scanty protection now. The matter Of
reducing the tariff on oranges viii
come up a a meeting Of the ways and
means committee Of Congress in
Washington on January 20. The tar
if on oranges now is one cent per
pound, and It is said that the removal
Of this tariff would put Cuban, Span
ish and Italian fruit growers on an
equal footing with Florida in placing
the fruit on the Northern market
Mr.. Sparkman said he could see no
reason for change in the present
tariff on oranges. 1t is one of the
principles Of the democratic doctrine,
he said, that the tariff should be light
on necessities and on revenue pro-
ducing basis and fruit in the list Of
luxuries, and they therefore should be
placed in the tariff list. He said he
did not believe that the democratic
ways and means committee will feel
disposed to interfere with the tariff
on oranges and grapefruit.
The attitude of the congressman and
his opinion as to the action of the
ways and means committee VIII De re-
ceived with satisfaction by fruit grow
ers.
II should regard the removal of the
tariff on citrus fruits as the worst
thing that could happen to the indus

manager of the Florida Citrus Elk
change in discussing the tariff ques-
ton THE duty is about eighty five
cents a box, while the difference in
labor cost and in transportation cost
will clean that out entirely, leaving US
to compete with the growers Of Italy
and Spain"
According to Mr.. Temple, nothing
has yet been done in the matter Of
sending a delegation to Washington
TO attend the ways and means com
mittee meeting on January 20, at which
time the question of reducing the duty
will come up.
