AMBASSADOR PAGE IN TROUBLE
AGAIN.
There are wits and humoriSts who
not only carry their good things
across, but become the cause of wit
and humor in others. Ambassador
Page, emphatically, is not one of
them. We know what happened as
the result of his meant-to-be airy
and facetious remarks to a British
business audience on American for
eiSn policies and canal tolls. Now he
is again in hot water. Our august
senate viii not wrathfully demand the
papers and documents in the case,
but the writing profession in all it's
departments is up in arms against
him. He Ventured to make another
joke, this time against authors and
journalists, hence the storm.
Mr.. Page has been examining the
British civil pension list and had
found on ii distinguished writer's who
had been unable to make a modest
living. He was SO stirred by this
that he told the authors guild, not
too seriously. that lit was a foolish.
foOlhardy business to choose a lit
erary career" and that even gambling
was more likely to pay than writing.
of course he did not mean to recon-.
mend gambling as a possible career,
and equally of course he said nothing
about writing for a living that many
eminent men Of letters had not said.
But his unfortunate manner gave of

but the truth is that ne was not born

Rear Admiral Frank Friday
Fletcher. who handled the taking of
Vera Cruz, is accredited with being
an authority on more different
branches of naval affairs than any
man in the United States He entered
the naval academy at the age of IA
years and ten months-Which event
was sisnalized by his boyish nick
name Of Friday" being made a part
of his regular name in the academy
records-and he has been learning
one thing and another about naval
matters ever since.
He knows lot about gunpowder,
about target practice, and about ord
nance mechanism. Most of the
three-inch field guns i'm use by the
United States today conform to in
Ventions by Fletcher. And the mod
ern way of handling a fleet was
Fletchers idea. 1t used TO be that
vessels in a fleet were kept in proper
alignment and the proper distance
apart by means of charts Fletcher
simplified this by having lights placed
on the vessels TO be used somewhat
like sights on a gun. The pilot sights
along the two signal lights on the
vessel ahead Of him aud knows just
where he belongs without the bother
of backing and filling or any monkey
business whatsoever. The whole idea
is so absurdly simple that it was ex-
tremely stupid of somebody not to
have thought of it before.

Just because he is a master of de-

WASHINGTON, oct. 21.-Dwelling
at considerable length on the Euro
pean war and its effect upon the
United states and compllmenting
President Wilson for his stand in IA
vor OF neutrality. William II. Taft, as
president OF the American Bar Asso-
ciation. addressed that body yester-
day. He reviewed the important leg
islation passed by congress during the
past year. saying In part.
While We stand aghast at this
awful waste OF blood, so destructive
to the happiness of Europe, we are
profoundly grateful for our splendid
isolation and freedom from entangling
alliances which George Washington
enjoined upon the American people"
Praislng President Wilson's letter
in which he made a plea for neutral
ity. Taft said:
I'm this appeal he should have the
warmest approval and the most sin
cere cooperation OF all OF us. The
language OF the president in which
he declined to be drawn into q de-
cision or an expression OF opinion on
the complaints OF the belligerents was
most admirable. and showed the world
that we must show we do not intend
to be drawn into this controversy in
any way; that while we are willing
to assist as much as possible in bring
ing about peace, our attitude as
judges cannot be invoked until We
are given formal authority. with the
stipulated condition by all parties to
abide by our judgment"
The speaker lauded the Bryan
peace treaties. The new federal trade
commission act AMI the Clayton anti
trust act were termed the most note
worthy legislation of the year.
Replying to Colonel Roosevelt, In
discussing arguments OF the advo-
Gates OF a judicial recall" Taft
said:
"They were incorporated in the
platform Of the progressive party. and
the leader OF that party has felt call
cd upon to declare that they were
the rock upon which It was founded.
1t would appear the party now finds
that instead OF being the rock upon
which II was founded. It Is TO charge
