sia and Japan, an industry for bringing
on war between Japan and the United
States has sprung up. There are con-
tributors in both countries, and in sew
eral European countries some interest
has been taken in the matter And yet
both the japanese government and the
American government have vigorously
discouraged all such talk. The attitude of
each toward the other has been thorough
ly correct Strained as the relations be-
tween them are today. they are not
beyond adjustment. and adjusted they
probably will be by means that Will con-
tinue the existing friendship.
Now two new antagonists are INTRO
duced, and those tired of the old shows
restful and exciting to hear about what
Russia is preparing to do to Germany.
and Germany to Russia. incidentally.
France and Great Britain will be brought
in. as both would seize such an oppor-
tunity at Germany's expense
Persistent nagging sometimes has a
vicious effect. But this sort of nassing
has been under the strong glass SO long
it is now pretty we'll understood and
discounted. All the powers mentioned
with the exception of Russia. have large
fighting equipments. and Russia IS rap
idly repairing the injuries to hers caused
by Japan. Ours might be in better shape
but it is good enough to give us a place
among the nations. And in this general
preparedness for war is the best guaran-
tee against war itself. making mere
rumors of war al most but an enter
tainment.

Mr.. Blackburn and the District.

At a public meeting of District taSpay-
ers yesterday in protest against ruinous
taxation projected in several bills pending
in Congress and in protest against threat
ened withdrawal of national participation
| in National Capital construction and
maintenance. one of the speakers was
former Representative and former Sena-
tor Blackburn of Kentucky. The i'm
portance of this lies in the fact that Mr.
Blackburn was one of the trainers of
the national law providing for equal par
ticipation in capital expenses by the fed
eral government which has been judicial1y
construed as the organic act of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He was chairman of
the House District committee which drew
up and reported that bill, In an inter
view in The Star of February / Mr.
Blackburn said:
Conditions in the District at that time
were deplorable and chaotic. and | de-
termined that something must be done to
bring order out OF chaos. For three
months l worked over the draft of that
bill. which is now the law of the Dis
trict, and ] never worked harder in my
life. And then for two months or more
the bill was debated in the House.
Mr.. Blackburn spoke yesterday along
the same line of thought He used the
arguments against the pending bank
| ruptcy-taxation bills pending in Con-
gress, with which nearly everybody is
familiar. which have not been answered
and which are unanswerable.
There is no man now in public life SO
well equipped to throw light on the rea-
sons for the enactment of the legislati tion
which for thirty-six years has defined the
relations between the District and the
nation. He is the best witness as to the
reasons which guided Congress in the
enactment of that law. He is the best
witness in constituting the law because
he was one of its authors and he knew
the purpose and intent of the lawmakers.
He is acquainted with the line of thought
which was in the minds of the men who
formulated and voted for the measure.
What he says on this subject is au-
thoritative. His opinion as to the need
lessness of rupturing relations which
have subsisted since 1878 has great
weight.

the Grand Army of the Republic held it.
annual cncampment under such happy
circumstances and in such historic en-
vironment. All around were the re-
mains of the defenses Of Washing
ton. Everywhere were the sites OF
army hospitals. Everywhere were re-
minders of the grim and great strife.
and all around were reminders OF
Lincoln and the graves and statues OF
great commanders.
Washington's first welcome to the
soldiers of the Union was in the spring
of 1861. Militia from Pennsylvania and
a company of regulars from Minnesota
came to the side of the District volur-
teers who had been suddenly called to
arms. Next came the 9th Massachu-
setts. with bloody signs of its conflict In
the streets of Baltimore. A week later
came the 7th New York. Then tide of
valiant men poured in. Washington S
second welcome to Union soldiers was In
July. 1861, when McDowells broken force
fell back from the fields. hills and valleys
OF Bull Run. Washington third recep-
ton to the troops was in July. 1864, when
two divisions of the 9th Army Corps
reached the capital in time TO thwart the
tons fourth reception to the men in blue
was at the grand review of the armies in
1st:.
In The Star of Monday, october 6. 1882
it was written that:
The National Capital is the soldier s
monument. 1t is the seat of the SovernS
ntent he preserved. 1t is the city which
so far as the eastern campaigns were
concerned. he protected by keeping him
self between ii and its enemy. While his
eye was ON Richmond his hand was on
Washington. He planted guns wherever
an enemy might approach. He stood
guard in the surrounding hills. His
bayouet was always fixed. 1t may be
That he was drilled on the fields i'll and
about the city. 1t may be that stricken
with disease or struck in action, he was
uursed in the hospitals here For Wash
in=ton from 1851 to 1865 was q fortress
an armed camp. a drill Sround and Il
hospital. Thousands of recruits were
fashioned into lighting men here. Am
bulance and supply trains and f'as-wrap-
ped coffins were common in the citys
streets.
One of the arguments against monster
gatherings in Washington has been in
adequacy of railroad facilities and rail-
road terminals. That argument has been
answered by events. Let the Grand
Army come. Washington will extend to
these veterans the same warm welcome
they have known here before.

Mr.. Wilson's Change of Base.

In his message yesterday Mr.. wilson
confessed frankly his own change OF
base respecting our coastwise shipping
and the Panama canal.
Until March last at least, he believed
that the policy of free tolls was
economically sound, and proper under
the terms of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty Since then, by his confession.
he has given the subject fuller con-
sideration: and his mature Judgment of
today Is that that policy is economical
ly unsound, and in violation of our
canal agreement with Great Britain
It is to be regretted that the Presi-
dent did not indicate to Congress the
argument which led to his reversal of
Judgment. There are eminent members
of his own party in that body who
having supported free tolls when the
proposition first came up. and being
still convinced Of it's justice and wis
dom, hesitate to reverse themselves
simply at his request II convinced. as
he has been, of an error. they would
fellow him gladly to its correction.
In voting free tolls for our coastwise
shipping through the canal, Congress,
convinced of it's right, took the action
in behalf of shippers complaining of
the grinding power of railroad monopo-
lies. Mr. Wilson as candidate for
President so understood and explained.
and SO indorsed. the action. He COM
mitted himself unequivocaIly, accord
ing to his lights then.
That phase of the question is still i'm
portant. and considered upon its merits
has claims upon support. But the Presi-
dent associates it now with other mat
tsrs OF Importance. and what Congress
has to consider is its relative impor-
tanee in the new equation that has
arisen. He wants free tolls surrendered
in the interest of larger policies which
he considers of very great moment to
the country.
On this account he requests repeal
and declares that it will help him in
dealing with other matters of even
greater delicacy and nearer conse-
auence" But he does not describe
those matters. In effect, he asks for
carte blanche, so far as Congress is
concerned. in dealing with information
al questions with which legislation
may be connected. japan is waiting at
the door. and both Germany and
France want notifications of regula-
tions growing out of the new tariff
law.
Mr.. Wilson has great influence with
Congress, and his friends are con-
WINGED that he will carry this, his
latest. point. But he Will not be as
sisted by such an expression as his
spokesman in the House, Mr.. Adamson,
was guilty Of in an interview yester-
day after the message had been de-
lfvered. The gentleman from Georgia
10 quoted as saying:
The Presidents address pleases me
because ii means honesty at home and
Justice abroad. 1t is not true that we
are surrendering to Great Britain if we
repeal the free tolls clause. i and other
democrats took a position against this
piece of rascality before England ever
heard of it,
II Mr.. Adamson knows OF any rascal
iey connected with the voting Of free
tolls he should take Congress and the
country into his confidence. The action
was taken in the open. was the joint
work OF democrats and republicans.
and was indorsed by William H. Taft,
Philander c. Knox, William ]. Bryan
and Woodrow Wilson.

What the news does Is literally

1t tells of the currents Of trade.
1t tells where things are made,
