MINGLING OF THE

The scenes at Arlington today af-

the airs, "My Country IT'S of Thee

were enthusing the vast asSemblage
of Americans, hundreds Of gray

apologies to make for their course
half a century ago, mingled with
former wearers of the blue as though
there had never been any friction
between them. 1t was, indeed, a
gala day, and one which will leave

who participated. President Wilson

the truth of the saying was never

Over fifty years ago Arlington,

Robert E. Lee, was eagerly coveted

STAND BY AMENDMENT.

The merits of the cases presented in behalf of the senators from Mary land and Alabama, Messrs. Lee and Glass, seem to have been viewed some what differently by the members of the senate, though in recognition of the federal amendment providing that such an official shall be elected by the people, one is seated and the other is not Senator Lee was elected by the people at d special election. MT. Glass was appointed by the governor of his state on the claim that the old state law gave the governor the authority to fill a vacancy caused by death
 Mr. Glass came very close to being approved. even though 1t would have been against the federal requirement, the vote being against him by only one. As the SpringfeId Republican states, MT Glass of Alabama was not seated beeatass his claim rested entire ly on the doubtful right of the gev- ernoF of his state te make an ap- p0fnthaent t6 the vacancy.

PROPER TIME FOR ACTION.

The announcement that the presi- dent did not seek action upon the question of Panama canal tolls at this session of congress, and that it might go over for consideration at another session, is upset by the president mak- ing clear his position and the prepara- tions forethe early consideration of this matter. This is not the first matter in which he has been threatened with opposition from his own party but the disposition on the part of congress and also the president~in previous instances has been to get together and avoid a rupture. It is that which has been responsible for the progress made by this administration and it remains to be seen whether it is the immigration bill or the canal tolls upon which this harmony is to be wrecked.
 It Is unquestionably true that if legislation is to be undertaken upon this question it should be done at this session of congress. It needs to be settled just what is to be expected concerning that subject. Before an- other session of congress could get un- derway vessels will be passing through the canal in regular traffic and whatever is to be accomplished or at tempted in the way of repeal or con- promise should be off the boards be- fore that time. Like the curtailing of civil service this contemplated repeal of toll exemption is against the party platform and il rema1ns to be seer whether the president can bring con- gress to his view of the matter. The president is right, however, in insisting upon early action. It is time all fea- lures of the matter were cleared up

SATISFYING JAPAN.

Various plans have been advanced for the settlement of the Japanese question but in view of the fact that he has lived in Japan and is acQuaint-
 ed with their attitude and feeling,
 through his connection with 8 uni
 versity in that empire, there is
 interest in the suggestion which
 has been advanced by Dr. Gull
 lick concerning that matter. In con-
 firmation of many others who have
 expressed their opinions upon the sen
 timent of the Japanese. he declares that it is not the desire of that coun-
 try that it's people should emigrate here but that they cannot get over the idea that they are being discrim- mated against, a fact which hurts l their pride and holds them up to the world as an object of inferiority. The success of those people has increased their self esteem and there is no doubt as to the Japanese ego.
 It is the suggestion of Dr. GullicA that this be satisfied but that restric- tions also be enforced through the admission of only a small percentage possibly five, of the total number o1 1 the native born of each country already | living here as citizens. This would
 require reference to the census re turns but it is apparent that it would admit very few of that nationality tC
 the country, the number here now be l ing less than six thousand.

 be handled automatically but the idle; l is one to which those who are concern ed with the details will doubtless giv, full consideration. Such would over come discrimination and might ever
 meet the approval of the state of Cal l ifornia

FIRE PREVENTION.

When the yearly fire loss through out the country is reckoned it is only natural that it should awaken an in creased interest in the importance and need of giving constant attention to protection against and prevention of conhagrations. By records for the past year the countryis fire loss amounted to over two hundred million dollars a slight decrease from the preceding year, but still an increase over five years ago of fifteen million.
 Just how much good the constant efforts in behalf of such protection does is difficult of estimation, but the necessity of bringing fire dangers down to the minimum must be recognized as
 one of the big problems of every city.
 There is no limit to which fire losses would go if there was not some such
 restraining influence. Lives and prop erty are gradually being given added protection through a realization of the danger, but it is only through con stant attention, inspection, the awak- ening of responsibility by property owners and the lesson which every bis
 fire offers that the desired results can be obtained. and the enormous and needless waste overcome.
 It is particularly in new and re- construction work that the greatest benefit is likely to be shown. There can be no question in such instances of the value of providing against fire while the ease with which some of the worst fires can be avoided offers suf- fcient reason for the adoption of g
 preventive policy by owner and occu- pant of existing buildings. The enor- nous loss each year indicates tha1 | there Is more money to burn than is | realized or necessary.

AIDING THE FARMER.

The completion of its task by the commission named by this country 10 investigate and study the credit unions and banking systems of Europe makes available a fund of important information for use in connection with a number of problems before this country at the present time. It reveals the fact that across the water the necessity of deal ing with questions which are now be- ing taken up here have been realized and methods adopted to meet them It was for the purpose of profiting through their experiences and ideas that the commission was put to work and there should be much food for thought and action in their report.
 With the need for increased produc- ton from the land made plain in this country and the existing fact that there is plenty of opportunity for in tensive farming the credit system which Is used in Europe whereby farmers are able to get loans upon their property at low rates of interest Is one which cannot fail to prove of interest here. If such a system is all that is required to aid the farmers and increase production. it offers a valuable suggestion and preced ent from which to work If all other classes of business men are properly cared for in the way of such institu- tions and the farmers are not. that oversight when corrected ought to do as much for this country as it has for others. That this large country does not raise practically all 1t con sumes instead of looking to other countries may be attributed to the existence of this handicap. If so the problem ought not to remain long un- solved
