WAR WITH MEXICO

r,o President in asking for plenary

There is desolation in many homes and dulling of the sense 4 our moral welfare even amid the ,t;rring scenes of marshaling armies ,nd the blare of trumpets.
 One who but reflects on the conse- ,npnees of war can be critical of a eeurse that brings us into actual war t,e with another nation. We are ,,ore to ask whether or not it is really aso to invest one naval officer with minority that would make it possible br him to bring war on the nation without consulting others to say the least of it. Should Mayo on his own initiative have demanded a salute to te flag, or should he have been more delberate and counseled with his fel- lows?.
 The president has all along uneX- smped forebearance and has done everything he could reasonably be ex- peeted to do to keep the nation from state of war. 1t was hoped by ! thousands that his endurance would bear this further strain put upon it. He has given We may be sure the
 best thought and judgement Of which he is capable to this question. He has taken the leading men of the na- ton into consultation and sought out
 the best means of dealing with this stubborn question. He has concluded that TO further indulgence could be gartol Huerta without encouraging hm anu his allies to inflct further i'm tgnities upon the government of the
 United States. It Is not only expect

THE CANAL READY!

1t is not easy fully to realize the
meaning of the statement that the
Panama canal is ready to pass nava
vessels from Atlantic to Pacific il
they are needed for service on the
west coast. Yet that assurance has
come from Colonel Goethals since
the naval demonstration against
Mexico was ordered.
AS matter of fact, although the
fact has received curiously little pub
licity, it is very definitely under
stood that in case of need the big
gest ships of the navy could be put
through the ditch on a very few
days notice.
For the general purposes of naval
reinforcement, the canal is ready to
serve the country.

The plaintiffs in most of them were
scared out. Only 2S8 DEGREES were
granted. In 1911, 1,224 divorces were
allowed. In 1912, the first year of
the proctor's service, there were only
SS1.
The proctor, w. W. Wright, is not
opposed to the principle of divorce
and does nothing to oppose a decree
in cases where he finds it is sought
in good faith and on good grounds.
But If they are determined not to
live together, why not give them the
divOrce?" he was asked, when a Chi
caS0 Tribune reporter sought MIN out

fiction about condition that no longer
eXisIs?"
Because divorce is an Infectious dis
ease" he said. Where you find one
case you nearly always find more.
Every man or woman who really wants
separation should have it, perhaps, but
divorce is different.
Easy divorces are demoralizinG in
two ways. They are demoralizing, first.
to young folks, of marriageable age.

The woman who is divorced, I'M

ommend divorce to her friends. L told

not yet been generally taken over by
the public, such as electric lighting
plants, gas establishments, and
street cars, it is to be remembered
that other countries have very gen
orally taken these, also, under dblic
control. Nowhere has the expert
ment of public ownership been aban-
doned in favor of a return TO private
ownership: saving and excepting the
case of the municipal gas plant in
the most corruptly governed city in
the country. We venture to assume
that that scandalous case will not be
cited by anybody who wants to de-
fend the principle of private owner
ship of public utilities.
The point of the whole matter was
excellently set down by Commission
er Siddons in his report, for the COM
mission, when he pointed out that
the first end and aim of private own
ership is profits; the first end and
aim Of public ownership is service;
and there can be no reconciliation
between these antagonistic objects.
No city in the nation is so well
postured for staging this great for
ward movement in municipal affairs,
as Washington. There is every rea-
son in favor of public ownership. A
referendum of this community on the
subject would develop an almost
unanimous sentiment for public own
ership. The city's credit is equal to
the undertaking; the needs of the
local situation demand it. There can
never be either adequate or economi-
cal transit service so long as two
rival and competing systems are
fighting each other. The public must
pay, at last, the costs of such war
fare. Whether it is litigation in the
courts, or the expenses of managing
Legislative campaigns, or the strug-
gle for physical advantage in the
control of desirable routes, or the
financial battles of rival interests on
the floor of the stock exchanged is
all the same; the public must pay
the bills for the needless wastes of
private ownership and competition.
The thing should be ended. The pub
lie interest should have an inning.
The promoters ard exploiters have
done quite well, as the present vol
ume of watered capitalization amply
testiies. Now give the public its
chance.

A FEMINIST APARTMENT
HOUSE.

They are going to build feminist
apartment house in New York; that
is, a place designed for occupation
by families in which the wife and
mother has business that takes her
outside during business hours. This
establishment will have about 40G
rooms, with provision for special at
tendance for children that will have
to be left at home; with community
cooking, laundry, mending and like
facilities. A school will be conduct
ed for children too small for the pub
lie schools. 1t is insisted that i'm
portant economies will be effected in
many directions, while the problem
of the mother who must leave her
home during the day will be solved.
Doubtless this type of establish
ment, once having demonstrated that
it can be conducted successfully, will
be a great aid to women who must
earn their part of the family income.
But the guess is ventured that its
conveniences, its assurance of great
er freedom from the responsibility of
household and children, will equally
popularize it with women who would
scorn to earn their living, who don't
want to vote, who are certain that
"woman's place is in the home"-but
who find that home duties interfere
unduly with bridge, dansants, and
the like

TARIFF MYSTERIES.

Argus himself with his hundred
eyes would find it hard to trace out
all the ripples and eddies set in mo-
ton when the tariff sank in the ocean
of industry. In the words of one
student who has received more than
score of letters on the subject from
the author of the present law, "Mr.
Underwood himself doesn't know
what its effect is going to be-"
One unexpected little setback in
the current affected Canadian wheat.
Although wheat from northwestern
Canada is best for many purposes,
in order to capture our market it has
habitually undersold American wheat
even after paying the tariff. When
the tariff was removed, Canadian
sellers considered extra inducement
no longer necessary, and accordingly
adopted the standard American price.
Then, because their wheat was more
in demand for its superior quality,
they gradually raised the price above
that of its American rivals. All this
happened before the Canadian tariff
widened the market for homegrown
wheat across the border.
This anomalous situation in which
a foreign product grows proportion
ately more expensive after the tariff
is removed illustrates one of the
curious developments possible when
the stress of competition shifts.
1t is easy for specialist to detect
the result in his own comparatively
small business, just as it is easy for
the general public to note the ap-
palling dismissal of $4,000 men from
the employ of one company alone
and the only less appalling lowering
of the wages of $4,000 in a single
industry.
The difficulty lies in working out
the relationship between indirect and
often unsuspected tariff effects on
the one hand and general business
conditions on the other. The difficult
ty of this problem as we'll as its i'm
portance constitutes its interest for
the coming months.
The Washington times., 1914-04-16
SENSE AND DIVORCES.

Marked success has attended the
efforts of Kansas City to reduce,
through the activities of "divorce
proctor" the menace of its divorce
problem. Participation of the proc
tor in divorce hearings is representa-
tive of the theory of the law that
the state is always party to such
cases-a theory that, when reduced
to practice, has been more honored
in the breach than in the observance.
In the ordinary legal controversy
it is perfectly competent to the de-
fendant to plead guilty or confess
judgment, in which event the court
proceeds to reduce his liberty or at
tach his worldly possessions. Not so
in divorce cases. The state conceives
that it has a special and direct in
terest in the contract of marriage
and that contracts protection
against invasion or dissolution. A
divorce may not be obtained by con-
sent, and yet collusion is usually
hard to detect.
In Kansas City the situation, when
the divorce proctor was first appoint
ed, had become acute. For every
three marriage licenses issued there
was one divorce. The proctor has
reduced the proportion to one in five
and hopes to do better when the
court of domestic relations, for which
he has fostered an agitation, is es-
tablished.
The proctor found that hundreds
of persons were being divorced when
they did not know they were being
sued. Other divorces were being
granted, on grounds ostensibly legal
and sufficient, with no other actual
basis than some trivial disagreement
between husband and wife. Of S23
cases which came under his observa-
ton in the first six months, about
one-third never went to trial at all.
