The People and the Mails.

:. This morning a we'll dressed woman
and her little girl sat at the top of the
stone steps at the main entrance of the
post office reading letters they had just
received at the general delivery window.
-szPhat was the only place where they could
read their mail without the fatigue of
standing In all the broad halls of the
city post office section of the big building
there was no accommodation for such
patrons of the mail service, and so the
letters had to be read almost literally out
i'm the street, with a dusty stone step as
bench. The spectacle this woman and
child presented was not creditable to the
city OF Washington 1t can be witnessed
any day.
Many people come to this city for short
visits without knowing where they will
stay and give the general delivery as
their mailing address. Thousands of let
ters come here weekly from all over the
country thus directed. 1t would be a
--.9Datter of simple provision and small cost

Railways, or at least benches in the por-

post Office building near the Union station
twill be not only such accommodations,
but facilities for writing. A large room

Wilson to California.

From the New York Sun.
The telegram sent by President Wilson
yesterday to the Governor Of California
and the presiding officers OF botn houses
of the California legislature is model
of clear temperate and dignlfied Ian.
guage 1t is admirable both in Its spirit
and it's manner. 1t is the protest or the
President of the United States against a
dangerous form OF notification; of a
statesman and patriot against the effort
of a state to repudiate solemn treaty
obligation binding on all the states.
against a parochial insult to an 1nterna-
tional pledge, against an untenable dis
elimination to the prejudice OF the citi-
zens of friendly country, against stain
upon the reputation and the honor of the
United States. 1t is the voice OF the ma
ton, conscious of its responsibilities and
it's duties May the Presidents words of
truth and soberness find in California the
acceptance that they are sure OF In the

The Makers OF War.

From the New York Globe.
The Liebnecht revelations. whose es-
sential correctness is unchallenged. fur
nish an adequate explanation of the re-
currence of war scares." The munition
makers find them absolutely necessary.
Otherwise the world might sink into
chronic peace. Then what could a poor
cannon maker doi How could he expect
to leave the largest fortune of the Ger
man empire: For centuries the world
was drenched in blood through the in
elements of ecclesiastical establishments
that desired to extend their power. Then
the vanity of kings and a governing
class whose trade was war led to the
spread and acceptance of the idea that
national glory consisted in having
slaughter matches. The masses of the
people have been taught by those to
whom they looked for guidance that those
living on the other side of a river or a
mountain range were their enemies. to
be feared and hated. But this doctrine,
bad as it was, had the merit OF being
openly taught 1t was foolish, but it was
honest. representing anxieties and beliefs
sincerely entertained.

Mobs and War Talk in Japan.
From the Chicago Record Herald

FfOm the CDlcasO hecOfu -fdeFdIu
Mobs are mobs everywhere. and no fair
minded American will blame the japanese
government or the intelligent elements OF
the population of Toxic for the infiam-
matory anti-American talk and threats
of war indulged In by cheap and ignO-
rant demagogues. One wonders. however.
whether the Japanese press, the officials
and other agencies Of popular education
are doing all that they can and should do
to discourage the dangerous propaganda
of the fire-eaters and jingoes. Is 1t be-
ing made clear in Japan that the United
States government, including the courts,
is prepared and resolved to enforce every
treaty right of the Japanese? If Califor-
ton of any treaty right-something which
no one ought to assume in advance-that
violation can and will be prevented by
proper proceedings. Is this fully under
