TARS SHOULD "SEE AMERICA

1t will scarcely be more expensive
to maintain the battleship fleet in ia
Mediterranean than at home and it
will probably do neither officers nor

1t is worth while to suggest, how
ever, that many of our native ports
have seldom seen war vessel. Thee
have been plenty of pictures of them,
but battleships themselves are curio5.-

one at Charleston and the fey snilis
that were ordered to the Gulf ports.
Year in and year out the ships have
cruised in the summer along the New
England coast and in the wint2r have

all hut one or two American porcs.
Not only that, but the officers are UNI
acquainted with the channels. 1t may
be trifle hard to believe it, but the
government may be sepnding hun
dreds of thousands dollars in dredging
a new channel in an American port
and naval officer come along in
ship and express the utmost surprise
to learn that there was any such pro-
ject under way. In these days of charts
and buoys a battleship should scarcely
need a pilot Every navigating officer
ought to know from personal oDserva-
ion the channel in every major port
on the coast, but how can they if they
never have any experience in entering
them?
Not only would the navy be popular
lied by ordering the ships regularly to
domestic ports which they can enter,
the smaller ones going to the smaller
ports, but the efficiency of the feet
would be greatly increased by the ac-
curate knowledge of its officers as to
at the several habors. 1t
might be just as well, therefore, to let
the ships and the tars see America

A NEW JAPANES TREATY

Incessant talk of a new treaty with
Japan, through which the United
States Government would be able L.
nupify the antialien land laws of Cal
ifornia and other Pacific Slope Stat IS
is wide of the point A treaty in any
way imparing the validity of such
state laws, or making their enforce
ment by states difficult or impossible,
might be negotiated, but it could new
er be adopted. Two-thirds of the rep
resentatives of states in the Senate
could not be brought to the point of
it. Every state between the
rocky mountain range and the Pacific
Ocean is already feeling that the prob
lem may soon be its own. A Japanese
treaty increasing the opportunities of
Japanese immigration and guarantee
ing real property rights would h
at once opposed by all of the states
wholly or partly west of the moun-
tains, acting through their senators.
These states are eleven in number.
AS the Senate now stands, on full
vote, thirty-three senator's can defeat
the ratification of any treaty. The
anti-Japanese sentiment would need to
lind but eleven votes in the Senate,
outside OF the section where it is DOM
inant, in order to defeat a treaty.
There is small doubt that the senators
of both Texas and Oklahoma. repre-
senting what is the unit of opinion in
their states, would vote with the West
coast. Much, too, could be expected
OF all the states between the
and the Mississippi River.
And we know of no reason for think
ing that public sentiment farther East
would not make itself felt in opposi-
ton strongly enough to force its
senatorial representatives into line.
Rightly or wrongly, there is a grow
ing feeling all over the country thai
the immigration of alien races should
not be encouraged.

JAPANESE VACCINATIONS

From The Providence Journal)
And now it is discovered that Japa-
nese military men, disguised as cool
les, have been steathily buying com
harding sites" in the neighborhood of
our biggest powder factories on the
Atlantic coast. But what do we do?
Nothing. We sit supinely by and
watch the very foundations of our ma
tional safety being dug from under our
feet
Here in Providence a Janapnese, one
Kuko Mazuma, has surreptitiously
bought lot on the East Side HILL in
the heart of our best families and over,
looking the upper end of Narragansett
Bay. A l4-inch disappearing gun could
easily be secreted in such spot over
night by cunning and devlish people
such as the Japs are known to be, and
once in place, nothing could save some
of our most cherished possessions. The
people of Rhode Island will remember
that not very long ago a wooden he'll
met of Japanese manufacturer foated
ashore on Prudence Island. and there
never was any doubt that it came from
a mysterious submarine.

present time, should be on the element
of war cost.
Sordid as this may seem, it is not
so. Carried to its ultimate, the logic
of the price argument is that vast
expenditures in preparing for wars
which may never come greatly re-
duce resources which could be used
in doing many good and useful and
great things The figures of war cost
cited in the Peace Congress are stun
ming. They represent what the civil
lied world is paying in insurance
premiums against war losses.
Such a flood of money turned into
channels of education, of ameliora-
ton, of genuine humanitarianism OF
every sort, could bring an upli t
movement to gladden. the hearts of all
lovers of their kind. But in vain wi '
the peace advocates of any land plead
with the people and the rulers of thai
land to take the initiative in disarma-
ment While the jungle law that the
strength of the wolf is in the pack, and
the strength of the pack is the vol ="

many men, the lone peace trail win

But the hope remains that peace ad-
vocates, and peace congresses, can
bring all of the great modern world -
see in time that a general disarma-
ment, or a great reduction in arma-

forts, serve Mr.. Carnegie's plan of

SEEKING A NEW CONTINENT
(Harper's Weekly.)

The fact that casks have floated
across from Point Barrow and Cape
Bathurst to Iceland and Norway, re-
spectiveld, shows that there is north
ward current through the polar sea,
but the further fact that the abundant
driftwood coming from the Mackenzie
river does not lodge to any axtent up
on the shore of Banks Island, lying to
the north of the mouth of the Macken-
zie, shows that this current cannot be
straight north from Alaska across the
Pole, but must be a circuitous one,
running for the first portion of its way
westward nearly parallel to the coasts
of Alaska and Asia-a thing which is
substantiated by the known drift of the

til the sank of June 12,1SS1, and of the
Fran from her freezing in on Septem-
Der %, 1893, to her becoming free from
the ice July 10, 1895
Because a hypothetical land such as
Harris has plotted satisfactorily eX-
plains these otherwise mysterious facts
and many others, and because no other
explanation is readily discernible that
really does explain them, the students
of tidal phenomena consider that here
is land yet to be discovered in the
Northern ocean. But be that as it may
a successful expedition to the Beau
fort sea will either discover this land
or establish the fact of its non-eXist-
ence
The expedition will sail from a Pa
ciic port of Canada in late May or
early June. The ship is PATTON bar
kentine with steam auxiliary power
which, under the name of Karluk, has
for many years sailed the Beaufort sea
as a whaler.

all of the greatest corporations have

MRS. PANHURKSTs SUBSTITUTE

A conspicuous figure in the women
suffrage demonstration last night in
New York was Theodore Roosevelt. He
is not exactly a militant; he does not
smash gentlemen's hats; he carries no
kerosene; he does not blow up mail
boxes or railway stations, and he does
not have to be fed forcibly; but who
shall doubt that his heart is true to
the cause?
Only four years ago, when the favor
of the presidency was still upon him,
wrote to an anti-sufirage meeting in
New York: Il am very tepid on wo-
man suffrage. l am unable to see that
there has been any special improve

could not be here, but in her absence

HOW THE HAIR Is COLORED
(From The Pathfinder.)

The color of the hair varies
with the color of the skin
as rule, because the hair
is simply made up of horny cells of
the epidermis or skin, and the color
which lies in the lower layers of the
skin is transferred to the hair. AS a
rule the hair tends to be darker than
he skin because of the presence of iron
in the pigments, which combines with
the sulphur of the hair and forms
black sulphate of iron-a purely chem
zeal process. In volcanic countries
where sulphur is abundant in the soil
the hair of the people tends to be dark.
The blonde hair of the Caucasian races
is attributed by some authorities to
the lack of sulphur in the food Red
hair is traced to the lack of iron. The
color of the eyes also in a general way
follows that of the skin and hair sim,
ply because augmentation affects them
all in the same way. Brunette races
have dark eyes as we'll as dark hair,
while blue eyes go with the light hair
and clear compilations of the blonde
races.

Why SalveS Can't Cure Eczema

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salveS
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermiS
where the eczema germs are lodged.
