THE SEAMEN'S BILL

The seamen's bill as it passed the
House has some weaknesses which
it is hoped will be cured in confer
ence. 1t fails to eQualize the cost of
operation, because part payment Of
wages in ports seems unenforceable.
Section four gives the seaman the
right to demand one-half of his pay,
but if he should leave the vessel with
a view of appealing to the courts
for its enforcement as provided by
the section, it appears that he would
lose all, by coming under section
seven.
Since treaties will have to be re-
adjusted at any rate, there seems
no good reason why all nations
should not be placed upon an equal
ity with our own vessels by making
the prohibition against paying ad-
vance wages to seamen general. No
nation can complain so long as all
are treated alike and in the same
way as their own vessels are treated.
The conferees should give special
attention 20 the safety provisions
which, sucn as they are, seem to ap-
ply to American vessels only. The
Titanic and the Empress of Ireland
furnish abundant reasons to treat
foreign vessels leaving our ports in
the same way as we treat our own.
The life-saving appliances pro-
vided for American vessels are in
adequate in ocean vessels; more so
in vessels that do not go twenty
miles off shore, and still more so
on the lakes; and The dependence
upon certificated lifeboat men for
the handling of these appliances is
such a radical departure that it
should be inquired into with the
greatest care, regardless of the fact
that it was recommended by the
London conference.

PARTISANSHIP.

Just a little time ago there was
nut on in the Senate a demonstra-
tion of the excesses Of partisanship,
that could not but make mere citi-
aens pause and marvel. TIE Re-
rublican side of the chamber vio-
|, atly opposed confirmation TO the
FEDERAL Reserve Board; the Demo
c~atic side with approximate solid
ity favored it.
It was as certain as ANYTHING
c uld possibly be that if that same
T an had been nominated by a he-
J blican President, he would have
d the support Of almost all the
R"nublicans, and the opposition of
{ most all the Democrats.
Now comes another like demon

I nal emergency, when partisanship

! ION to place Government credit

THE NEAR SIDE STOP.

BEGINNING tomorrow morning, sur
face cars in New York will stop IN
the near sid, instead of the far side
Of the street. The rule that was
imposcd upon Washington years
ago. and that brought upon this
town innumcrahlc Eibes from the
people and press Of other places
cSnecially from New Iork-has been
accepted by tie metropolis.
The rcar-side stop has always
hecn the safe. sane, and sensible one.
Things got started the other way,
and il has been difficult for traffic
experts t. get it adopted. though
more and more the cities are COM
ing to it.
Orercrowdinc Of city streets with
traffic. especially the flow Of auto
mobiles. has compelled even the
most conservative to realize the I'M
portance cf this change. New York
required stops on both the near
and far sides at certain places, re-
sulting in uncertainty in the mind
of passengers as tn whether they
could use both sides at a given
point.
Washington was once derided as a
lay town" because it early adopt
ed the rule that safety and celerity
dictated. Now the metropolis joins
he ranks of the jays, and will get
better service for it.

Napoleon III. at Solferino' is of
particular interest among his military
subjects. because It marks the turning
point in his work from genere rococo
studies to pictures of the army. Invi-
ted by Napoleon III to accompany him
on his campaign into Italy in the sum-
mer of 1883, Meissonier witnessed actual
war for the first time. He had gone
on the campaign with the intention of
depicting a series of Napoleon's tri-
umphs. After this first and decisive
battle at Solferino, however. there SEEM
ed nothing more to paint. and Messonier
betook himself to Paris again. But the
battle fever had fired his blood. and
henceforth his desire was to paint
things military.
The "Solferino'' Is characteristic of
Meissonier's outlook upon war. Slaugh-
ter he considered intolerable: he could
not endure the destruction of such beau
tiful bodies as he saw on the field at
Solferinp.
War In itself he evidently considered
justifiable. The glory and rush of it
fired him. but the destruction and desc
lation were repulsive. So in the Sol

What part have the navies of the
world played in past wars?
History shows that in nearly all
great wars naval victories have prac-
ticaly decided the issue. Further
more, history has had its turning
points in battles that decided the
command of the sea.
The naval battle OF Salamis was
fought $40 3. G. and its victory for
the Greeks saved the European con-
tinent from oriental domination un-
der the Persians. The naval battle
of Actium, 81 8. c., overthrow An

Ish. but saved English civilization

Great Britain again was rescued
from invasion and the domination OF
the first Napoleon by the battle of
Trafalgar in 1880.
1t was on May -, 1905. when Rus
sia and Japan were at war in eastern
waters. that Admiral Togo began
the great naval battle OF ISuShlma-
the Japanese fleet reading his in
spring message as the flags tluttered
up to the signal Yards OF Togo's
flagship Mikasa: The rise or fall
of our empire depends upon today's
battle. Let every man do his ut
most" Japan on that day swept the
Russian feet from the sea at
Tsushima and eventually swept IL
from eastern waters. The Japanese
Russian war was practically settled
by that battle. and Japan's place
among the great powers OF the world
dates from that engagement.
