The Note on Neutral Shipping.

While the text of the note of this government
to that of Great Britain the treatment accorded
our merchant ships has not been made public, it
a warning or a demand. At most it may be termed
protest though from its general tenor, as COM
municated to the press, it should properly be re-
garded the opening OF negotiations which in the
interest of our commerce, it is to be hoped will
lead to a better and more definite understanding
between the two governments upon the subject Of
neutral shipping. Up to the present time the whole
question has been loosely handled due in part to
frequently changing conditions and revisions of the
contraband list by Great Britain as supreme mis-
tress of the seas among the belligerents. The
efforts of this government to facilitate IFS COM
mcrce have not always proved eficacious. to say
the least notably the policy of maintaining secrecy
to cargoes and destinations of vessels clearing
from ports.
This government cannot expect Great Britain
to sacrifice her rights or to desst from her efforts
to prevent contraband from reaching her enemies.
The note of this government calls attention to a
declaration by Lord Salisbury made during the
Bocr war that "foodstuffs, with hostile destina-
ton, be considered contraband of only
if they supplies for the enemy's forces 1t is
not sufficient that they capable of being so
used it must be shown that this was in fact their
destination at the time of seizure" The sugges-
ton that this may be so applied to permit the
shipment of supplies direct from this country to
Germany is far fetched and premature. Great
Britain is far less obligated by this definition of
Lord Salisburys than this government must be by
the decision of the United States Supreme Court
upon the right of search during our own civil war;
a decision already invoked by the British Am
bassador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice.
The note will doubtless lead to the adoption of
definite rules governing shipping, and that they
will result to our benefit hardly be questioned
1t is not to be expected however, that Great
Britain will, by sacrificing rights that hers I'M
peril her own fate or that Of her allies

Irony Of Fate IN Politics.

The new Democratic United States District At
torney, in Indiana, has begun investigation oi
the recent election in that State. When the con-
stitutional amendment for the election of United
States Senator's by the people was before Congress
two years ago, it was the fear of such activities
on the part of the Federal Government which
persuaded every Southern Democrat in the Senate
to vote against the Bristow amendment, which
Senator Root declared would give Congress the
power to place the Federal law above the State
law in the election of Senator's to the rights OF
voters Senator Root said in reply to a question
from Senator Bacon that the amendment would I'm
doubtedly give Congress power to take complete
control of the election of Senators well Rep
resentatives, and he added: 81 meant to put you
on notice and l meant to put the whole country
on notice if my words are able to do so,
The Republican majority in the Senate added
the Bristow amendment to the constitutional
amendment that had been adopted by the House,
and the Democratic House three times refused
to concur. The contest continued for months, and
the House finally yielded on May IH 1912, accept
ing the Bristow amendment and submitting the
constitutional amendment to the States for rati-
hcation. A majority of the Southern Democrats
voted against it on the final roll call and there
were doleful forebodings from Representatives
Bartlett of Georgia, and Sisson, of Mississippi, as
to what the Republicans would do with force
bills" when they again came into full powers. They
predicted another Lodge bill to control Federal
elections, the interference of United States attor
neys and the control of Federal courts with the
notification of grandfather clauses in Southern
State constitutions and another saturnali of negro
domination
All this was to come about through Republi-
cans taking advantage of the Bristow amendment
But it appears that the Democratic United States
attorney in Indiana has begun the assertion of
the Federal power to investigate elections in that
State and hale alleged "foaters" and "repeaters"
and "manipulators" of elections before the Fed
eral grand jury. 1t is just possible that Attorney
Daily did not read the speeches of Southern Sena-
tors and Representatives in opposition to the Bris
tow amendment, he may not for Southern
fears of what Republican administration and
Republican Congress may sometimes do with his
precedent. Senator Lodge is still believer in the
legislation he put through the House in $780, which
was held in the Senate until the expiration of the
Fifty-frst Congress by the clever tactics of Sena-
tor German with unlimited debate by Southern
Senators, and Senator Lodge is still in public life.
By the way both Senators Kern and Shively voted
Shively was reelected at the election which the

The Foe Within.

The recent outburst of Grand Admiral Won Tir-
pitt against the cemency shown thus farsby the
Germans probably voices the sentiment of large
majority of the party in the empire. 1--WE can
not bring the British lion to his knees by feeding
him with cakes" growls the bluff old sea dog.
With virtual blockade against outside food sup
plies it begins to look If the situation is daily
becoming a more serious matter. If Germany is
not sei-feeding in peaceful and normally pros
porous times, it is asked in more than one Euro
pean capital how will she manage now that her
own agricultural capacity is so restricted by the
war? 1t is small wonder that government effort
to induce the strictest economy is tnceasing. AL
though the reputation of German cooks for get
ting full value from everything that passes through
their hands is proverbial, they are now urged to
practice still further in the preparation of food
There is nothing more evident than the fact that
Germany cannot keep on indefinitely as she has
begun without breaking her way into the food
markets of the world. Any claim to the contrary
must be regarded as the most reckless braSado

Whatever differences of opinion may exist as
to the ultimate effect of the action of Justice
Lamar in granting to Leo NJ Frank, the Atlanta
man condemned to death for murder, the right to
a hearing before the Supreme Court of the United
States, public sentiment will approve a procedure
which, in any event npust save him from being
put to death without full and due process of law,
and as the result of public passion and clamor. No
doubt the way has been opened through the in
vocation of the jurisdiction of the United States
Supreme Court upon technically, to prolonged
legal contest. Probably no decision the highest
tribunal may render will prevent second trial of
the case, but if this should be the outcome, the
accused will be assured of his full legal rights
and of a verdict not influenced by reckless and
threatening demand for vengeance for recent
crime

a single British mine has been laid down off the

taking to grape juice served at official dinners
especially those at which Secretary Bryan and
Secretary Daniels are hosts. Since Acre have

a year and probably not half dozen diplomats
