He Did Not Mean 1t.

II DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler. head OF the
largest university of modern times, measured by
the size of its student body in his recent annual
that the doors of Columbia should be closed
against all save the physically we'll equipped-he
has taken position which will demand the active
exercise of all his own fitness, both physical and
mental, in its defense. 1t is position which
speedily would make him persona grata with the
husky freshman whose youthful physical attrac-
tions dominate in his class games, but whose
somnolent brain and halting tongue make pitt
able figure of him at recitation time. No one who
knows DR.. Butler would suspect him OF such an
heroic endeavor to extend his popularity.
DR.. Butler is so pronounced stckler for the
correct use of his mother tongue that it is not an
easy matter to accuse him OF carelessness in his
dictation. To convict him of such lapse would
be almost as serious to point out to him the
manifest injustice OF his theory-as he seems to
have formulated it in his annual report-both to
the individual and to the community. The physi-
cally unfit have played very conspicuous part in
the game of life and there is every reason to be-
lieve that they will continue to do to the end
of time The world would be vastly less attractive
as place of residence today but for the hundreds
of superior minds which have dwelt in imperfect
bodies.
The injustice of such theory to the individual
is more deplorable; it amounts to positive
malignity. To debar who is physically unfit
for the battle of life, but whose mental equipment
is ample, from the opportunity that university
education might afford to gain livelihood would
be little short of criminal.
So it is evident that DR.. Butler meant nothing
of that sort. We assume the responsibility of
asserting that such thing entered his mind
1t is quite another matter, however, to suggest
to such a famous purist as DR.. Butler that it
might be we'll for him to exercise still further
caution in his use of a medium tricky as the
English language. We decline to do so.

Workings Of the Democratic Tariff.

| We have received so many inquiries regarding
our recent articles on the working of the Under
wood tariff that we take advantage of the appear
ance of the figures of the foreign trade for October
to make general summary of the country's trade
for year back. For such a summary better
conspectus can be gained of the fluctuations of
trade during the past twelve months than in any
other way We called attention, few days ago,
to the fact that in October the exports of the
country were $76s78ooo less than in October of
last year. At the same time our imports increased
$5o2oooo. That is to say, there was in decreased
exports and increased imports falling off in our
October trade balance of $SI, $4,000, which was
a more unfavorable result than in August, when
the net loss in our foreign trade balance was
$7o.32o,ooo.
But the figures for the whole year up to No
vember I significant For this twelve month
period our exports were S2I3I,3ooooo, decrease
of $4oz,424,ooo from the preceding year. Our i'm
ports for the year up to November I, were
S, I,SS2oo5ooo, increase for the year OF $II4,-
o26,ooo This resulted in a net loss in trade
balance for the year of $sI735o,ooo.
Another way to put it is that while the bal
ance of trade in favor for the year ended No.
vember 1, 1913, $766,564,ooo. the balance of
trade in our favor for the year ended November
l. 1914, only $24o.3o4,ooo. Subtracting the
1914 figures from those of 1913 gives the same re-
suit as that previously arrived at, loss of $5I7
$4,000 in our trade balance
But it is said that it is the in Europe that
has brought about this untoward state of affairs
and made it necessary for us to impose additional
internal revenue taxation, in order to place the
government in possession of sufficient funds with
which to run its business. All! not so fast. OF
all this great loss of $5I7,35o,ooo in our foreign
trade balance, more than two-thrds, S325,
425ooo, occurred before the in Europe broke
out that is to say, under the first nine months of
the operation of the Underwood low tariff law.
During the remaining three months, while the
war was in progress our exports decreased $236,
4I6ooo, and our imports decreased $3+I27,ooo.
Very likely, now that the large war purchases by
foreign nations have begun here, our trade balance
will show up little less unfavorably; but whether
there will be any permanent change for the better
is highly questionable.
1t is also reasonable to expect that larger
movement of cotton from this country across the
Atlantic will take place in the months Immediately
to come. But enough has already been exhibited
to demonstrate the fact that the Underwood tariff
is risky experiment hanging upon the verge of
failure, and that in all human probability it will
be found necessary, before President Wilson's
present term expires, to supplement the govern
ment revenues by re-enacting some OF the i'm
portant customs duties that our Democratic
friends so carelessly cast away.

A Service to Humanity.

There is strong reason for the belief that Presi-
dent Wilson has caused the abandonment of the
most barbarous feature of the present war-the
dropping of bombs the sleeping inhabitants of
unfortifed cities. II he has done this civilization
owes him a debt of gratitude. The statement that
several weeks ago he conveyed informally to the
representatives of the United States abroad his
personal opposition to attacks by airshps and
bombs places that not fortified is quite
worthy Of credence, and it is just reasonable to
suppose that representatives found means Of
communicating unofhcally to representatives of the
governments involved the Presidents personal
views. At any rate it has been weeks since the
world has been Mortified by such an event as the
savage midnight aerial attack on Antwerp. 1t is
logical therefore to credit the President with
service to mankind brought about by adroit dplo-
macy. In this connection it is interesting to recall
a remark made by Ambassador Herrick as he was
leaving Paris. Asked as to his own narrow escape
from death by a German bomb, he replied:
Sometimes man can be of greater service dead
than alive" There was no explanation of the re-
mark at the time, but recent developments would
seem to indicate that though, happily the ambas-
sador is very much alive he may have had much
to do with influencing the Presidents action.

The Happy Medium.

The American people would rather take chances
of being thrashed in the early part OF a war than
maintain huge standing army Of the sort that
broke the back of Continental Europe and in this
they absolutely right. But there is a happy
medium between militarSm and defenseessncss;
and this the nation should adopt.
A mobile army of three corps, say 100000 to
10000 men, with system of trained reserves
sufficient treble the fighting force in case of war;
could be maintained for very little more than is
now spent in keeping present inadequate force.
All that is necessary is to the money for purely
military purposes instead of putting it into useless
posts and ornamental parks.
Such force as this would not be threat to
any country, but it would be defense of our own.
1t would not enable the United States to take part
in the quarrels of Europe but it would make the
Monroe doctrine secure from European interfer-
ence 1t would not give US quarter enough men
to undertake the invasion of Japan, but it would
make Japanese jngoes think long time before
clamoring for war with the United States.-Chi-

Federal Reserve Credits and Currency.

Two points in connection with the Federal re-
serve banking system which there is some con-
fusion in the popular mind have been lucidly ex-
planned by officials.
The value of the system in broadening and
stabilizng commercial credit is made clear by Mr.
Benjamin Strong, jr, governor of the Federal re-
serve bank of this district 1t can longer hap
pen in times of pressure that with sound
business will find his bank unable to care for his
needs because it will be able to obtain additional
credit by rediscounting good paper with the Fed
eral reserve bank.
Mr.. Pierre Jay, the Federal reserve agent,
discounts and issuing Federal reserve circulating
notes are inseperable. When a member bank re-
discounts paper with the Federal reserve bank and
is credited with the proceeds it may deal with this
balance as it pleases. The bank can leave the
proceeds to strengthen its reserve or draw against
it or present a check to be cashed in coin legal
tenders or Federal reserve notes.
Under the new system, as Mr.. Jay felicitously
remarks the foundations have been laid for really
elastic currency.-New York Herald
