THE NAVY Justified

~ NGLAND has justified herself on
II the sea. Evidently Britannia
l. still rules the waves. In the
first big ocean fight the British
have defeated the Germans, as they
were expected to do. The defeat in
Heligoland Blight appears to have
been almost as satisfactory, from an
English viewpoint, as the victory of
Dewey in Manila Harbor or Schley at
Santiago, although, of course, not
nearly so decisive.
The dash and daring of the English
attack is apparent from the fact that
the sea over which the fleet fought
was filled with German mines and
German submarines were in constant
operation. Apparently, the English
were fortunate enough to miss the
mines and it begins to look as though
the submarine is not so powerful an
engine of destruction IN times of stress
ns had been anticipated.
The victory on the sea will he cheer
ing news to sorrowing Britain. The
English have pinned their faith to
their fleets, and q serious setback for
the navy, with the army retreating
before the Germans in France, would
have been heavy blow, indeed.
The hardihood of the British is we'll
illustrated by the fact that they dupli-
Gated the bravery of Dewey at Manila
by sailing past the heavily armed out
post of Heligoland and engaged the
German boats left to guard the mouth
of the Elbe and the entrance to the
Kiel canal. The action was as bril-
liant as any that has characterized
English enterprise at sea in the past
and was timed most propitiously for
the moral effect it will no doubt have
throughout the empire.

CAUGHT IN IT'S OWN TRAP
tFrom the Philadelphia Ledger

lFrom the Philadelphia Ledger
An administration dedicated to the
cause of low prices and criminal pros
ecution of those who consult and con-
sp1re together to prevent them is now
openly engaged in the discovery of
means and methods to prevent any de-
crease whatever in the price of cot
ton. 1t has invited men to take part
in a conference to accomplish the very
thing which statutory law and bills
now before Congress declare to be i'm
moral and criminal.
The Administration is now right Tt

The Administrators anti-business
program should be laughed out of

engaged in breaking the very laws
which 1t is calling on Congress to
enact. The reprisals on business which
the West and South have been de-
manding have already proved a boom

OUR OPPORTUNITY

r. ISPATCHES from Pittsburgh and
other iron centers are to the
- effect that South America is
pouring into America inquiries
for iron and steel products of all kinds
The opportunity thus afforded to put
our gigantic rail mills to work, sad as
is the occasion that has brought it to
us. seems little less than providential.
The industrial gloom that has been
hanging heavy on the horizon of busi-
ness is slowly disappearing. We in
America see the rainbow that sur
mounts the war clouds of Europe. The
period of our world supremacy in
trade is at hand.
OF course we will have to adapt
ourselves to unfamiliar markets. South
America wants what it has been used
to purchasing in Europe. We must
learn quickly how to meet the whim
as well as the need
Next in Importance is a mercha mt
marine. There must be no DELAY in
providing bottoms for American-mad de
goods. Given these two things-oual-
ity desired and prompt delivery-and
the South American markets are ours

PREPARING A STATE CODE
philadelphia Bulietin)

Rearrangement of the general
statutes of the Commonwealth in a
compendious and logical form, under
topical groups, instead of the present
heterogeneous tumble of the Pamph-
let Laws, has long been recognized
as a need by lawyers and legislators,
and the first practical step in that
direction is represented by the Legis-
lative Reference Bureau in it's draft
of an act covering the taxation laws
of Pennsylvania, an account of which
Is given in another column on this
page. There have been many piece
meal efforts in the same line at var
ious times in the past. but never be-
fore has t. been approached so thor
oughly and methodically. The i'm
portance of this work can scarcely be
overestimated, because it stands for
the simplification of the written law
so that any person of average intelli-
gence may be able to consult the code
and learn readily what the Legisla-
ture has declared on a certain sub
ject and know that he is not over
looking a contrary or modifying act
hidden away in the musty volumes of
the past.
But of even more importance is the
certainty that only in this way can
the incongruities,, contradictions and
obsolete redundancies of the laws be
cleared away, leaving little or no
ground for conflicting interpretations
and misunderstanding. In this re-
port alone, the work is immensely val
liable to the people of the State, who,
when the task shall be completed, can
thus be placed within reach of all
there is to known on the subject, in
single compact set of volumes
available on the shelves of the public
libraries. The work is only in its in
Il nd t..
properly finished. it ought to have the
cooperation of the public through
constructive criticism by citizens.
especially judges and legal practi-
TONERS, who are competent to offer
it.
It is to be remembered that these re-
ports do not contemplate any ex-
animation of the desirability or
reasonableness of the policies which
dictated the enactment of the laws
This is for the Legislature to de-
eide But the light thrown upon the
different subjects when submitted
will make the occasion propitious for
a consideration of amendments and
revisions to bring some of these an
cient statues more into harmony
with present-day needs and thereby
serve another important purpose
And once these codes shall be adopt-
ed, 1t should become the fixed policy
of the Legislature not to disarrange
them lightly, by entangling them
with amendments and repealers. The
experience of the last century and a
quarter, which period will be chiefly
reflected in the different topical
codes, has refined and crystallized the
laws of this State to a degree where
they should be exempt from further
tinkering in the future except for
very great cause.

PENNSYLVANIA GUARDSMEN

II VIDENTLY Pennsylvania Ma
- tional Guardsmen are held in
IL esteem abroad. James f.
Archibald, war correspondent,
writing of his recent inspection of a
portion of the Hungarian Huzzars,
notes that in their ranks he found no
less than eight members of the Penn
sylvania militia. Not only that, but
the men were honored by being called
from the ranks by the commanding
officer, who took much pride in pre-
senting them to the visitor. Member
ship in the Pennsylvania Guard had
made them marked men in the Hun
garian army.
These facts will be no surprise to
those who know the National Guard
from the inside. The guardsman of
to-day is better equipped and knows
more of the science of warfare than
the regular army man of twenty years
ago. The trained Pennsylvania mill
tiaman will give a good account of
himself anywhere. He has been
taught to care for himself in the field
and on the march. He is an efficient
fighting unit and at home or abroad
deserves all the attention he has been
recently receiving.

APoLoGIzING TO HE'LL

l~HE New York Sun says that If
General Sherman were alive he
= would have to apologize to hell
for comparing it to war
We doubt If the devil himself would
stoop to the practice of throwing
bombs into hospitals and tossing eX-
plosives from airships into the sleep
ing rooms of innocent women and
children. This is the sort of warfare
that rouses the fighting blood in a
man and turns whatever sentiment he
previously may have entertained for
those employing 1T into a hope that
they may reap even as they are
sowing.
Certainly. it is beyond the pale of
Imagination to think of an American
officer sailing over city and killing
its inhabitants as the people of Ant
werp were slaughtered. Sherman
himself, ruthless raider that he was,
never made war on women and chill
dren. Public opinion in the United
States would rise up against the army
administration that would adopt such
methods. How different our occu-
patton of Havana, of Porto Rico, of
Manila and of Vera Cruz. Where our
armies have gone women and children
have been protected, a guarding arm
has been thrown up between the fight
ing forces and the noncombatants.
No advantage can accrue from such
tactics as those reported from Ant
werp. Civilization. thin veneer over
savagery that it may be, has pro-
gressed here in America beyond the
point where we turn our weapons on
the helpless That kind of warfare
died on the North American continent
with the suppression of the Apaches
of the western plains.

A NECESSITY
philadelphia Press. !

One short year has sufficed to con-
found the makers of the present ia
and, as weR, those persons who on
pose the principle of a tariff which
protects. Both in theory and in prac-
tice they are contradicted by the I'M
answerable logic of facts. What
might have taken a long period of
time to prove, has been conclusIvelv
demonstrated in twelve months, CIR
cumstances have hastened the proof
and the decision
The present crisis has proven the
fallacy of the tariff theory of the col
lege cloister and has DESTROYED Ali
those beautiful finespun arguments of
professors of economics. It has proven
that 1t is absolutely necessary for the
United States to be industrially inde-
pendent of foreign countries. 1t has
proven that this nation should at all
times be in a position where 1t can
produce for itself everything that is
needed by its own people. For those
high -browed gentlemen who have de-
lighted to figure out the economic
faults of protective system there is
a new problem to which they might
apply their busy minds. If the present
industrial condition and danger is the
result of a war in which only foreign
nations are parties, how much worse
would be the condition If IL was a
conflict in which this country was ac-
tually involved?
There is but one way in which the
United States can occupy an indepen-
dent position. There is no magic wand
that can bring into immediate exist
epce an industry that is needed when
the day of crisis comes. To be of real
value and Importance, an industry
must be a matter of growth, steady
and sure. 1t must proceed by slow
steps, but those steps always forward.
1t must come by means of the en-
couragement of a tariff duty that will
equallze manufacturing conditions and
costs here and abroad. That is the
policy of protection, and the following
of that policy is the one and only road
to Industrial independence of the
United States.

was unjust to that amiable region. The
war of his time was but an innocent
harmless killing game. 1t has grown to
that aerial triumph of German culture
over Antwerp.

slay or mangle little children and young
mothers in their beds to salute the Red
cross flag with a bomb, to slaughter
and terrorize non-combatants. random
destruction with no military results
with no permanent result except to
sieken and anger all civilized mankind;

something of humanity should be main

THE Ohio State Journal is wor-

he satisfied. but they will not be
until they are informed.
If the Ohio State Journal waits for
the government to report the true
cause of the sugar price advance 1t
will spend a long time with its ears
cooked for information. The govern
ment itself is to blame. That is. the
Democratic Congress and President
Wilson are.
The Underwood tariff law put out of
business the entire cane sugar indus
try of America. The Saturday Even
ing Post. a journal friendly to Presi-
dent Wilson. fixes the value of sugar
producing property in Louisiana alone
at 100000. All of this has been
rendered idle by reason of the tariff.
Cane has not been grown there and
there is no crop to harvest. Conse-
quently, instead of having our own
sugar supply, we are dependent largely
on Europe, and Europe can't send us
any. So prices have gone up,
The Democrats put the American
cane sugar industry out of business in
favor of the foreign producers, hoping
for lower prices. Prices not only did
not go down, but now, with the Euro
pean market gone, we have no cane
sugar of our own.
There is nothing mysterious about
the situation and we wonder that the
usually sagacious State Journal did
not see the answers to its questions
before it asked them.
