War on Plumage Trade.

The bird plumage question. which has
stirred this country, is one that is now
engaging a great deal of attention in
England. and the press and humane peo
pie there have lined up against the bird
outchery required to supply the demands
OF the fancy feather trade. A measure
for the protection of birds is pending in
parliament and is called there the plu-
mage BILL which would prohibit the i'm
portation into England of the plumage
of wild birds. Familiar arguments are
being made against it. One is that if the
bill becomes a law it will have no other
result than to drive the English feather
trade to the continent, without saving
ment was made in this country without
avail. The protection sought for birds
under the plumage bill has been agitated
in England for several years, and it is
said that as London is the worlds chief
depot of the feather trade the bill strikes
at the very heart of the industry. With

After the Gun-Toters.

New York is making promises that SHE
will finally become safer city than a
number of towns on the Mexican border.
In the first place. the police were di-
rected to take into custody street car
rowdies who insulted and assaulted
peaceable passengers, and magistrate
was found who sent these miscreants to
the workhouse. Now there is to be an
earnest endeavor to strip gunner Of
their weapons. The effect of the ad-
ministration of the New York law
against the ownership of weapons seems
to have operated only to disarm people
who kept pistols for the protection Of
themselves and their property. and not
to have affected that class of men keep
ing arms for crime. However, the order
went out under the new administration
of the police department to arrest per-
sons known to be or suspected of being
gunner, and many have been put under
arrest and brought to trial. and a New
York Judge recently in one day SEN
fenced thirty-five gun-carry1ng culprits
to Jail or assessed heavy fines against
them.

A National Stadium.

Plans are already being made for the
Ar,ny-Navy foot ball game to be play
ed. or fought. next fall, and the reports
seem to indicate that the place to be
chosen for this annual foot ball classic
will be Philadelphia To persons not
imbued with foot ball enthusiasm, and
who perhaps incline to milder and more
peaceful sport, it appears that the man
ayers are at least taking time by the
forelock in arranging for game which
is not TO be played until next fall. AS
long as this contest is played neither at
Annapolis nor at West Point. and as
long as the cadets, by their action. show
preference for neutral ground, it
might be, it would be, well If Washing
ton were chosen as the scene of this
great annual game. Perhaps sometime
a fine stadium will arise in the eastern
part Of Potomac Park. 1t is the purpose
20 develop that section of the river
park eastward Of the railroad lines into
a playground where diamonds, tracks
and other athletic fields will be laid out
1t would be a perfect site for national
stadium. AS Washington is the head
quarters Of the army and navy. and OF
everything else connected with the gov
eminent of the United States. the capital
would be the appropriate place for the
annual Army and Navy foot ball game

The Umbrella.

A man represented as qualifed TO
speak on such a subject was recently
quoted in the press as saying that the
umbrella is becoming obsolete and that
fewer of these devices for the protec-
ton of ones self. and others. are be-
ing manufactured in this country year
after year. 1t is hard to believe that
an institution so popular as the UNI
brella, both with buyers and borrowers
is doomed to be rolled up and packed
away for ever and for aye. The world
wagged, of course, before the umbrella
was invented and will continue on its way
even should it disappear. Every man
who has owned an umbrella knows now
quickly it can disappear. An umbrella
particularly new one. can VANISH WIFI
out leaving a clue to it's new address. An
other strange thing about the umbrella
is that it will go out and fail 10 cohe
back when the weather is most lnciemehl.
1t does not often disappear in fair weatn-
err. It will stand for days contenteoly
and demurely in the hall rack or uf1i-
brella stand while the sun glows or the
stars gleam but let black clouds roll up
and rain pelt down and that umbrella
is gone, It has no sense Of direction ana
no homing instinct and never finds lts

Mr.. Wilson and a Second Term.

Mr.. Clark believes as does every ex-
perienced politician. that II this admins
tration is a success Mr.. Wilson will be
reelected President.
Why not? The one-term expression in
the Baltimore platform? Read it again
That does not bar Mr.. Wilson. He will
be at full liberty to accept, and even seek,
denomination II all goes we'll with him
and his party between now ard nonina-
ton day. He is not pledged on that as
in the case Of free tolls.
Mr. Wilson himself recognized the dif-
ference when a candidate. He not only
referred to the tolls question, but gave
unqualified Endorsement. with a pat and
homely illustration, to the platforms free
tolls pronouncement.
But he observed silence as to the one
term proposition, and has since main
tanned it And in his course he is not
only within his rights. but within the sug-
rcstions of sound discretion. Using the
verracular, he Is playing good politics.
In a private conversation the other day.
a veteran observer of politics at this CAPT
tai made the suggestion that Mr.. Wilson,
IL case of pronounced success with his
policies. might surprise the country two
2cars hence by taking himself out of the
equation. With one shining. term 10 his

credit, he might decide not to tempt for
tune by trying q second, in which he
might fail.
The answer was that strong as he has
shown himself to be and would be then,
Mr.. Wilson is not superman. No man,
it was contended, would forego such an op-
portunity to hold on to power. He would
tempt fortune at all hazards. The very
size of the stake would make the ven-
ture irresistible.
Another point made in reply was that,
in case of remuneration. Mr.. Wilson would
be expected to name the democratic nomi-
nee that Mr.. Bryan would claim the
designation, and that even Mr.. Wilson
could not elect Mr.. Bryan. Although the
country accepted Mr.. Wilson at Mr..
Bryans hands, it would not accept Mr..
Bryan at Mr.. Wilson's hands.
Such speculation, while interesting, is
nothing but speculation. The facts are
that Mr. Wilson will be available in 1916
and If he stands then crowned with sue
cess. precedent will call for his re-
election. Next after the civil war. the
greatest misfortune with the greatest
losses this country has ever sustained
was in the defeat for reelection of Ben
Jamin Harrison, who had given the people
an excellent administration and was in
position to continue his good work.
Mr.. Wilson is playing the game as If
he relished it; and while the cards con-
tinue to come his way he is not likely
to cash in and quit More likely is he
to snuggle down firmly in his chair and
double his play. Should his luck change

problems would multiply for both parties,
and We should witness some strenuous
hustling on both sides for position.

America and Great Britain.

In his report on the free tolls question,
the Washington representative OF the
London Times. in describing the inhu-
ences operating against repeal, refers 10
1.-THE vague feeling among the masses
that Great Britain has. after all, no right
10 dictate with regard to the management
of an American-owned, American-bulit
canal" If vague now, rapidly becoming
definite and determined. And that Is
very important and far-reaching factor
in the equation.
AS The Star stated the other day, until
this tolls question was revived the feehns
in America toward Great Britain was
friendlier than had existed at any time
during the century of peace between the
two countries. Twisting the lions tail
had become almost lost art. Recollec-
tons of such performances had nearly
faded out.
Presto. The President reads his tolls
message. and all is changed Great Brit
ain again becomes the most prominent
of targets. Hands from every quarter are
reaching for the lions tail The most
vigorous twistings in half century are
in progress, and threaten to continue Tor
several years. They will mark the coming
debate in the Senate. mark the congress
sional campaigns of next fall. and IN
some measure mark the campaign Of 1916
Indeed if the republicans carry the next
House. or even materially reduce the
democratic strength there, the result Will
be ascribed to what is now called the
Presidents surrender to Great Britain,
and the next presidential campaign be
fought on that charge.
Deplore this as men may, and many do.
the fact remains. Old bitternesses are
awakening. Old history is being recited
Old cries are finding voice again. THE
spirit of TO- has not done political duty
before in years John Bull has never been
drawn by cartoontsts with a more liberal
girth or browbeating countenance than
now. Before the excitement subsidies. the
British will be again referred to as red
coats'-the description of colonial days
and their American allies as turncoats.
For this reason Representative Know
lands compliment to Sir Edward Grey
seems premature. If not unwarranted. Is
the British foreign minister the greatest
diplomat of the day? II he has out
unanswered the President on this tolls
question has he not paid. is he not pay
ing too dearly for his whistle? After
surrendering the point of free tolls, as
he had virtually done, was it the wise
thing to revive il. and open the way for a
revival of American distrust and criticism
of Great Britain, and particularly at
time when the plans for celebrating the
century Of peace between the two coun-
tries are in progress. and going forward
to the qualification of the two peoples?
