THE NAVY IN GOOD CONDITION

The statement of Admiral George Dewey that he does not hesitate to say that the American navy never has been so we'll prepared for war as at the pres ent time," probably will prove to be as surprising to the valiant Hobson as it is shocking to the Armor plate gougers and ammu- milton makers.
 Of course we are not unmind- full of the neglect of the Pacific coast in the matter of proper de- fensive equipment. But the ear ly opening of the Panama canal will bring the Atlantic fleet much closer to us and will put us in a much safer position, though we have no reason at this time 10 fear an aggressive movement on the part of any power on the Pacific ocean.
 What Admiral Dewey says ought to have much weight at the national capital.
 We do not believe in stinting and crippling the navy.
 We believe the navy should be kept up to the required standard of striking and fighting eff cheney.
 But it is a matter of common knowledge that our war scare factory is constantly running ov- ertime; we are never without a war scare of some sort, never without alarmists to make the most doleful prophecies concern- ing our lack of preparedness for sea challenge and engagement. Seattle Sun.

JAPAN's DOMESTIC DISORDERS

Instead of seeking difficulties abroad, Japan seems to have a problem at home on account of a feeling of popular resentment due to the handling of the Cali fornia problem and the old problem of Japan's differences with China. The immediate and exciting cause of disorders in Tokio is to be found jn the as sassinati6n of Mortiaro Abe, di- rector of the political bureau of the Japanese foreign office at Ranking, China; but behind the disorders in Tokip there is the old feeling which grew out.of the war which resulted in Japan's acquisition of Port Arthur, then her loss of the port to Russia, and then, again, in the whirligig of time, in Japan's winning of the prize again from Russia as the result of the conflict in Man. churia.
 Obviously there is a cons ider- able element in Japan which is not at all pleased with the way Japanese diplomacy has handled this issue, and the same element seems to be equally displeased with the handling of the Califor- mia issue. No serious cOnse- quences are likely to come out of

THE PANKHURST.

The usually sensible women of the National Suffrage Associa- ton are on the borderlands of a glaring mistake which it is not yet too late to avoid. Emmeline Pankhurst, notorious militant 'suffragette and fugitive from England to France, has expressed an intention of visiting America in the fall to lecture, and the heads of the suffrage movement in this country have declared that monster parade must be arranged in her honor when she lands, together with receptions and considerable other hullabalOO and fuss.
 It is hoped the good ladies will realize the error of such pro- ceeding. After the best is said for her the woman in question remains tirebug, rioler, dis turber, a convict and confirmed nuisance. She can point to no single act of good for the cause she claims to have espoused. On the contrary she has done it in- calculable harm. She became act i've, bOisterOus and incOrrigible at a time when votes for women was a thing of the near future in England. Such statute might have been on the books today had it not been for her and her kind. How far they have set back the date of success will not be known until victory comes.
 Her acts, counsel and eXhOrta- tiOns have worked to the discredit of the cause in this country until the very word "suffragettc' gives rise to visions of burning build- ings, exploding bombs, frcnZied women, harricd policemen and Jbadgcred and bullied ritizens. She has caused millions of dol lars loss tn disintcrestcd peo- pie who could not possibly fur ther OF harm the campaign. Her imprudcnt counsels have put the arson torch in the hands of those who have damaged public build- ings and playgrounds, stores, dwellings, and even churches. Today Mrs. Pa.nkhurSt fees from a just sentence inflicted by an outraged society.
 To welcome her would be to indOrsc her career. American women cannot afford to do that --becausC American women are going to have the ballot: going to have it as a just due and right. It is surely coming and cuilling soon. But Mrs. PankhurSt can get the American women noth- ing--unleSS it might possibly be a measure of that hopeless de- lay she has brought down upon her honest but ill-advised Eng lish sisters. Her reward will be in dollars.--Jnurnal- Progressive, Bellingham.

house about June l. This was the an
nourcement Of Representative Under
wood today after a conference with
President Wilson. who urged that
banking reforms be considered at the
present session a2d laws enacted, Il
possible.
Delayed in its passage last night by
parliamentary technicality, the In
derwood tariff bill was engrossed to-
day for presentation to the house at
it's hour of meeting, . o'clock.
Because of democratic insistence on
a point of order against 2 republican
motion to recommit the bill to the
ways and means committee, with a
view to forcing a tariff commission
provision. the reading of the bill in
engrossed form was made necessary.
Parliamentary tscticians of both
the majority and minority prepared
today for a final affray over the point
of order but the result, in view OF
the large democratic majority. was a
foregone conclusion. Meantime demo
cratic leaders IN the senate are pre-.
pairing for the consideration of the
bill there. --------.-'7- -----
There is talk among house leaders
of taking a 30 days recess during the
senate consideration Of the tariff.
Conferences Of manufacturers and

The manufacturers contend if the

LIFE TERMER
HELD FOR Is
AxEMURDERS

Leavenworth, Kan, May S.-Twenty-
FIVE murders committed in the last
three years in Missouri, Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Iowa and Illinois by means OF
blows from an axe are ascribed to
Henry Moore, serving a life term
in the Missouri penitentiary, accord
ing to the theory announced today by
Special Agent McLaughry of the de-
partment of justice, after an exhaus-
tive study of so-called axe murders.
McLaughry said the strangely sim
liar circumstances in the murder ser
les could lead to no other conclusion.
Moore went to the penitentiary at JEFF
ferson City after he was found guilty
of the murder of his mother and grand
mother at Columbia, Mo, December
last. Moore said he made a study of
famous murders, including the DR..
Crippen case in England.
Axe murders ascribed to Moore
were a man, his wife and two children
at Colorado Springs, Col; a man, wife
and daughter at Monmouth, ILL.,; man,
wife and three children at Ellsworth,
Kan; man and wife at Paolo, Kan. |;
man. four children and two girl
guests at Villisca, Iowa, and two WON
en- at Columbia, Mo.
McLaughry calls attention to the
fact that the first murder did not oc.
cur until after Moore's release from
the reformatory in Kansas. Each of
the 25 persons murdered were slain
in their own home. In each case a
bloody axe was left as the murderer s
fiendish insignia.
