CANAL PUBLICITY.

The determination that the sit
tings of the Senate Committee on
lnteroceanic Canals shall be open to
press and public, is a move in the
right direction. All secret sessions,
whether of committees or Of the full
legislative body, should be abolished,
save only those that deal with for
eign relations.
If the public, which must get its
knowledge Of legislative proceedings
from the press, could know just
what secret sessions of committees
means, few political platforms would
omit the demand for full publicity.
1t would require but short time to
force the adoption of universal day.
light methods. The jobs and the
jokers are the product of closed ses-
aions. e..
I'm such matter as this Of the
canal, it is peculiarly desirable that
everything to be said should be said
out loud. The country is uncertain
of its own mind on this question, be-
cause it is in doubt about the facts
on which it must base its conclu-
sions. 1t wants the facts, and all of
them. Il doesn't want the most in
innate and vital ones to be sup
pressed, to be whispered back and
forth across the committee table of
2 star chamber. There can be no
such thing as trusting the reliabil-
ity Of a public verdict based on in
complete facts; and there can be no
confidence in. the sincerity of legis-
lative body's decision, when that
body gives one set of reasons in its
public expressions, and considers an
other in the real business of making
up its mind. go.
The Washington times., 1914-04-07
EVIL OF SECRET TRIALS.

1t is natural that close organiza-
tions should prefer to settle their
scandals in camera. The plea "What
happens within our organism is no
coLcerp of outsiders" is based upon
an instinct to conceal from others all
internal weaknesses which goes as
far back as the ailing or stricken
animal and is even older than the
human race itself
The fundamental misconception in
this reasoning is of course that the
most potent agent both for the cor
rection of evil conditions and for
the vindication of wrongly accused
character is publicity. Guilty men
fear publicity as perhaps they do
not even fear death. Innocent men,
on the other hand, are often quick
TO recognize in publicity a defender.
Wrongly accused or unjustly pun
ished men have found through pub
licity justice which even the courts
Genied them.
The secrecy of the recent army
trial at Plum Island and the present
ecclesiastical trial at the Metropoli-
tan Temple, in New York, seems for
these reasons to be so mistaken in
policy as to be contrary to the per-
manent public welfare. If either of
the two men is guilty his organiza-
J tion is protecting his misconduct

GERMAN AND AMERICAN
TRADE RIVALRY.

Besides promoting international
amenities over the Panama fair, the
increase in German exports to the
United States provokes a question
about the effect of the new tariff.
Reference to tables for 1912 and
1913 shows that the most note
worthy increases in exports until
January l were in commodities af-
fected slightly, if at all, by change
in tariff. The most valuable expert
to show an increase was toys, in
which the 35 per cent duty remains
the same. The most sensational in
crease during the year was in COL
ored pictures and postcards, an in
crease which cannot be accounted
for by the moderate decrease in
tariff last October. In these cases
superior productive skill at low labor
cost has enabled German manufac-
turers to make headway against a
handicap.
On the other hand, our exports to
Germany give cause for congratula-
ton. Forty per cent of Germany's
imports in machinery come from the
United States-more than from any
other one country. Only Is per cent
of German exports in machinery
reach the United States. The sale
of American reaping machines in
Germany gained about &c per cent in
1918 over 1912, and sewing machines
show a similar advance. The grow
ing exports Of evaporated apples and
prunes is due partly to superior cold
storage methods. Finally, the export
in wheat, which has more than dou-
bled, and the export in barley, which
has increased nearly twentyfold,
bear witness to improved methods
Of cultivation and particularly to ex-
tended irrigation in Western States.
The assertion of the American
consul at Johannesburg that recent
ly the United States has caught up
with and outstripped Germany in
selling agricultural and mining ma
chinery in South Africa and is doing
a thriving business in almost every
kind of American-mado article is as
surance that at least IN some of our
high-labor manufactures we can hold
our own even against the cheap la
bor Of Europe.

With these three amendments
adopted, Maryland will be ABREAST of
the most progressive States west of
the Mississippi. Bat there yet re-
mains most important step. The
initiative failed of adoption because
at the last moment one or two men,
bers of the State senate, under the
whip and spur of political bosses,
withdrew their support for it. We
may believe that the next legisla-
ture, enlightened as it will be by
the vote of the people upon the
propositions we have enumerated,
will find itself anxious to give the
people a right to vote for the ini-
tiative, under which the people
themselves may bring about the re-
forms that a majority of them in
sist upon.
Let US felicitate the people of
Maryland, and its legislature upon
the tremendous advance taken in a
State which has been called conser-
vative, but in which in reality the
citizens are as ready to be progress
sive as they are in any State in the
Union.

JUDICIAL DELAYS AGAIN.

The Gompers- Mitchell Morrison
case has been to the Supreme Court
of the limited States for the second
time. That court, being equally di-
vided, has ordered it reargued, after
which it may wait till the latter part
of the year for decision. The sub
stantial differences between the la
Dor leaders and the Bucks Stove
Company, which were responsible
for the contempt proceeding, have
long ago been settled. But the con-
tempt case has dragged along, from
one court to another, up and down,
back and forth.
While this cause celebre is still
following its wearisome way, the
Newman case gives some promise of
being equally tedious, futile, and il
luminative of the possibilities of
judicial delay. The Supreme Court
has decided that the Newman case is
entitled to be heard before a jury.
So it goes back to the Court of Ap-
peals and thence to the Supreme
Court of the District, for a jury's
verdict. After that verdict is Sc
cured, the case will be carried up to
the Court Of Appeals on law ques-
tions, and however it may be decided
there, it will 60 again to the Federal
Supreme Court for a last guess. That
court may sustain one of the courts
below, or roth of them, or it may Or
der new trial on the ground of er-
rors. In that event the whole per-
formance would have to be repeated,
we assume; provided, always, that
by that time Mr.. Newman was still
in Office, the complainant in the case
still disposed to follow the matter,
Washington still the Capital of the
United States, and the present fern
of its government persisted. In
somewhere from two to five years it
may be presumed the question of Mr..
Newman's eligibility to be Commits
sioner may be decided.
Within that period, all possible
question Of his eligibility will have
been settled in his favor: he will
have accumulated q comfortable
margin over three-years' residence
here while the case is in the courts.
Then, if the courts find it was all a
mistake and he was never entitled to
be appointed Commissioner, the
President will be able without un-
certainty to reappoint him, and there
will not be a shadow Of uncertainty
about his eligibility under the three
years residence clause!
Cases like these inspire the refec-
ton, in the untutored lay mind, that
some reforms in judicial procedure
would be in point. The courts are
not SO much to blame as the laws
and customs. But, as it seems to be
merely question as to the guess of
tie bench that guesses last, why not
hurry matters along to that last
guess and have it over:
