Our National Defense.

We do not know whether the leaders of the
Democratic party or the Republican party or OF
any other particular political party have discovered
it or not but the movement that has been started
by the organization known as the National Sc
curity League" is one that has struck squarely in
accord with popular sentiment and constitutes a
force that will have to be reckoned with in the
months Immediately at hand. 1t has been evoked
by the spontaneous growth of a popular conviction
from one end of the United States to the other.
Whatever may be the result abroad of the war in
Europe, it has taught, as by lightning fash, a
tremendous lesson to the people of the United
States. 1t has not made our countrymen any
more militarist than they were before. If anything
it has made them more averse than ever to war
and all its works. But the misery, and perhaps the
annihation, of Belgium has left doubt at all
in the minds of the American people of what the
duty of the hour is so far as they and their
try are concerned.
We cannot but be fearful that much of the talk
which we have heard for years from peace cranks
about the danger of war being nil has been de-
lusion. We that treaties are mere scraps of
paper when national interest stands in the way. We
see that guarantees of neutrality, matter how
sacredy made or joined in by how many different
nations, utterly worthless when real pinch
comes. We see that the play of great national
interests and emotions such those which have
in substance placed the German nation in atti-
tude of revolt against the civilized order it has
been constituted for the last fifty years, is superior
to all other emotions and that the only power that
withstand them is physical force. The people
of the United States have come to understand, as
they have before, the need of armed national
protection; and they have come to understand this
while being at the same time more desirous than
ever of keeping peace with their neighbors and Of
not turning their nation into a camp of armed men.
Therefore thought that is weighing upon our
countrymen just now is the desire of being
adequately protected; and the first impulse born of
this desire is movement to understand just how
far we are already protected. There is an over
whelming demand for public enlightenment as to
the actual effectiveness of our army and navy. Do
we need more battleships or more submarines or
both? Do we need more soldiers sailors or
both? Are these great arms of our national service
really in a state of dry rot so many critics de-
clare?
We believe, and we have no hesitancy in say
ing so, that in dwelling upon this subject, he
has with so much emphasis in recent weeks, Theo-
dore Roosevelt has made some headway toward re-
placing himself in the esteem OF his fellow citizens
as a man with great faculty for bringing out the
right idea at the right time. Let Our politicians
take warning.

Why This Discrimination?

Whatever may be the drift of popular opinion
in America to the expediency of permitting the
Japanese to participate actively in the European
war, it is certain that the proposition appeals to
one nation at least, with considerable force. In
France, Gustave Herve, editor of La Guerre
Sociale supports it enthusiastically and even goes
hurt our friends in America" and why so much
importance should be attached to the preferences
of neutrals, who, after all, not vitality concerned
in the matter "If the Americans should think that
they ought to enter Mexico some day, would they
trouble themselves much about the feelings OF Eu-
rope?" he asks rather pertinently.
NJ Herve and his compatriots have little SYM
pathy with those who make bugaboo OF the So
called yellow peril" Compared with the Ger
man peril he insists it paes into ethereality. Bet
ter a thousand times that these cultured Orientas
should be transplanted into Western civilization
than that single Teuton should be permitted to
traffic in the raw material from which is evolved
the toothsome pate-de-fois-gras in the contested
Rhine provinces. That is NJ Herve's honest opinion
and he finds hosts of good Frenchmen who share
it with him.
Besides, NJ. Herve finds the American people
inconsistent in their discrimination against the
brilliant little Orentals who-he maintans-have
taught them great deal If it is question
of color, why do they not object to the employ
mcnt of Africans and HindooS in the ranks OF the
British armies, or even to the Algerines who are
doing such good service under the French colors?
Clearly this American distaste for Great Britains
Asatic allies is thing not to be comprehended by
the logical mind

One Question for the |. c. c.

When the Interstate Commerce Commission
handed down its decision in the railroad rate
on July 2o it admitted that the railroads were en-
titled to additional net revenue, and it specifically
directed that the railroads between the Mississippi
River and line drawn through Buffalo, Wheeling
and Pittsburgh should be permitted to make certain
increases in freight rates East of this line the
commission allowed no increase in freight rates
and it suggested that in place of such increases the
carriers east of the Pittsburgh-Buffalo line:
Should make charge for switching and
spotting;
Should make small increase in mileage
books; and
Should strike off certain allowances that
had been made to smaller industrial railroad
lines, on the plea of these smaller companies
that they were common carriers and entitled
to a rebate.
But:
The Supreme Court of the United States has
upset the position of the Interstate Commerce
Commission entirely as to the payments to these
smaller industrial lines. The court has held in a
decision rendered since the Interstate Commerce
Commissions decision on July 2o, that it cannot
enunciate it as general principle that these smaller
roads are not common carriers and hence not en-.
titled to rebates. On the contrary the Supreme
Court has held that each industrial railroad must
be considered separately to determine whether il
is common carrier or not
Also:
Many OF the public service boards or railway
commissions in the different States have refused
to allow the railways in these States to increase
their charge for passenger transportation and to
increase various other charges, in the manner sug-
gested by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This being the case, we beg to ask the members

For Clean Bank Notes.

The government is printing $3.50. 1000 oOC
OF new Federal reserve currency. Its dis
tribution. consequent on the opening o:
the regional banks. will be awaited with
no little anticipation, for it will mark a
great milestone along the financial road
OF this country. The inauguration of
the new regional reserve bank system
and the issue OF these new bank notes
should witness the carrying out Of one
most desirable reform, namely, a con-
slant supply OF new and unsolled cur
rency. II the Federal Reserve Board is
so disposed it can effect this end easily.
The law demands that whatever bank
notes any regional reserve bank receives
in the course of business shall be re-
turned to the regional bank which issued
them. II the rule is also made that this
old currency shall be destroyed and clean
notes issued in its place, then the public
will be assured Of supply Of reasonably
ursoiled currency.

A disreputable partnership between the police
and criminal with alias disclosed in the
Police Court Saturday, when Judge MuIlowny
sentenced a to six months in prison, under
extraordinary circumstances. 1t appeared that the
man, while occupying in a lodging house,
paid for by the police for the purpose of trying to
get evidence of violations of the law, gave the
prOprietress worthless check for $24. In passing
sentence upon him Judge Mullowny denounced the
police and their guilty accomplice. Most people
will be shocked to learn that the practice of placing
police spies in lodging houses exists in the Capt.
tai The fact that in some cases these spies are
criminals suggests real danger from source that
should be looked to for protection. When vice,
fragrant and faunted, is eliminated perhaps will
be necessary to adopt the spy system to deal with
that which exists in seclusion, but that time has
not arrived. When it does the spies should be
selected with caution.

THE OPEN FORUM.
Suggests a Substitute for Gasoline in
Automobile Enaines.

Editor OF the Washington Herald: Judg-
ing from what read in the papers some
people seem to be afraid Of the supply
OF gasoline for automobiles and other en-
gines. have often wondered why hy-
drogen gas was not used in place OF
gasoline. A pail full OF water and 10
cents worth Of material would be suf-
ficient to run a car to Baltimore and
back.
The vapor OF gasoline is not explosive
until mixed with air or oxygen, and It is
just the same With hydrogen. II burns
with an intensely hot pale blue fame,
hardly visible. but when mixed with air
II becomes highly explosive. l have often
exhibited to classes and to public audi
ences this explosive power with what l
called a hydrogen gun, shooting a cork
over the heads OF the audience to hear
the women squeal at the loud report.

Lodging and breakfast for the homeless unem-
ployed will be provided by Henry Ford at the new

Fords answer to the complaint that the prosperity
of the employees of the Ford automobile works

doubt the lodging and breakfast will attract many
more, but SO far Mr.. Ford has not placed limit
his efforts in behalf of humanity. 1t is quite

Editor OF The Washington Herald:
After the daily newspaper accounts Of
the misery experienced by countless
women Of many lands by reason OF the
war, American women instead of taking
up the Presidents super-occupied time
with trifies. should thank tho Lord for
giving US a man at the helm whose eff
forts in behalf of peace have preserved

They should be thankful for the large

opportunity to work, under economic con-
ditions whereby We may enjoy at least
a modicum Of security in life and health.
