At Lake Mohonk.

The Lake Mohonk conference
closed its twenty-hrst annual meet
ing last night, with an Endorsement
of the Presidents attitude toward
and assertion OF American neutrality
in the matter OF the war. and re-
affirmation of its principles respect
ing international arbitration.
This meeting was the most I'M
portant of the whole series. In the
first place it was held at a time when
peace and war are truly live topics.
War is in progress. and on a scale
shaking the world. 1t is spreading,
and no man may predict the end or
the result. If it should end tomor-
row. the effect would still be operat-
ing many years hence. II It should
continue for another ten months or
longer, the whole world may be ae-
tively involved Peace. therefore. has
a strong appeal to all not now en-
gagged, and hoping to escape the
maelstrom.
participating in the discussions were
high officials OF the government. and
soldiers. sailors and educators, all
friends and advocates of peace, but
united in the opinion that peace on
an international scale is very remote,
and that the prime and pressing duty
of this country is to put itself IN
condition to assert itself by force in
its own defense If force should be-
come necessary.
That We are in no such condition
now is of common knowledge. The
opinion is expressed by those the
most competent to judge. They are
trained men, in position to know all
the facts. They have been aroused.
as such men should be, by the world
commotion. Should the nation be-
come involved, heavy task would
fail upon them on land and sea.
These men have spoken, properly,
at peace meeting, They are not ad-
vocates of war. but of peace. They
do not want war. Neither Secre-
tary Garrison, Gen. Wood, Rear Ad-
miral Chester, nor President Hibben
OF Princeton University, is urging
anything for the purpose of bringing
on war All want peace, but as prac-
tical men see the necessity OF pre-
paredness for war when all disclo-
sures show that the fighting spirit is
still strong among men everywhere.
All that was submitted at Lake Mo-
honk on this line will be of service
when Congress meets, and should in
fuence that body. There is no sub
ject of so much Importance as that
of the national defense, and nothing
so well established as that, at pres
ent, it is wholly inadequate.

Vernon should be free for all, re-
gardless of age. At present it is nee
essary to charge a small entrance
tax in order to maintain the estate
properly. but it is not generally re-
garded as essential that the existing
arrangement of a semi-private owner
ship of the historic home should in
definitely continue. Naturally ths1
ladies who constitute the board of
regents are proud of their trustee
ship. which has been discharged in q
manner to win the thanks OF the
country for the care with which
Mount Vernon has been preserved,
and they are opposed to any change
in ownership. yet the patriotic SEN
timent throughout the country Ia
vors a transfer. on some equitable
basis. to the United States. which
should hold this estate in fee simple
and open it freely to the public.
One OF the greatest charms OF
Washington as national tourist
center is that 1t is open TO every poaS
without charge OF any kind. save
moderate admission fee at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art on certain days
of the week. In sharp contrast with
European cities. where even pubic
institutions are in many cases open
only on payment OF tax. Washing
ton invites all corners to pass the
doors of its most interesting and at
tractive institutions without cost.
Mount Vernon. as perhaps the most
impressive of all the national me
MORALS. should be in this same cate
CORY. so that thousands will visit 1t
as against hundreds under the pres
ent arrangement.

A Vanishing School.

In his speech in court Thursday,
Mr.. Bailey, DEPRESSING little, said !:
Il probably am living out of my time,
but ] am one of the few men that
still believe in the doctrines of
Thomas Jefferson"
The distinguished Texan is STU
dent of politics and government as
of the law. While actively in public
life he repeatedly gave evidence in
his addresses of the extent of his
reading and the hrmness of his con-
yictions founded thereon
As long ago as 1896 Mr.. Bailey
said something on this same point
that arrested attention. This was
that Mr.. Bryan. who had just been
nominated for President, was more
populst than democrat. In fact, he
gave the impression that in his opin-
ion Mr. Bryan was not a democrat
at all; and for a time Mr.. Bailey
thought of leaving congressional life
The party's leadership then was not
in the least to his liking.
Mr. Bryan was defeated that year
by the detection of great many
democrats who agreed with Mr.
Bailey They refused to accept him

Rooseyelt's Verdict.

Despite the hitch caused by the be-
lief OF one juryman that the costs
OF the suit should be divided between
the plaintiff and the defendant, IN
stead OF being put wholly upon the
loser of the case. the Syracuse trial
has resulted in a verdict tor COL
Roosevelt. The jury declares that in
its belief he did not libel MIR. Barnes
when he called him a boss and a
trafficker with other bosses OF diff
ferent political school. In short. IN
the iurv's opinion, Col. Roosevelt has
in his presentation of the case proved
that Mr.. Barnes is or was boss
and consorter with bosses. Evl-
IDENTIFY the jury has not allowed to
affect its opinion on this point tes-
timonv adduced that Col. Roosevelt
was in his day and in his own way
considerably OF boss himself and
cultivator of the friendship and help
of bosses. The you're another plea
in effect set up by Barnes in his side
of the case has not availed.
So now Col Roosevelt emerges
from the suit triumphant, freed of
liability for calling Barnes boss.
Has the case with its verdict in his
favor affected his political status!
OF course, this query assumes that
Col. Roosevelt has political status
of national Importance. There are
varying opinions on the point OF the
effect. Some hold that the disclo-
sures have harmed the colonel and
others that he has been helped by
them. 1t is difficult to see how he
can have been helped, save by the
publicity that has been given to him
by the case. Certainly there were
passages in the testimony, even his
own testimony, that did not rebound
to his great credit.
The restoration to public notice Of
man who has reveled IN notorlety
has undoubtedly been agreeable to
him. But the trial was not so timed
as to make this publicity an asset OF
political value. A year later, per-
haps. the Syracuse proceedings might
have had direct and important bear
ing upon the campaign. Twelve
months from now the public will
have forgotten the Barnes hasco,
with its attendant temporary restora-
ton of Roosevelt to front-page po-
sItion in the news The actual value
of this case to him may. therefore, be
viewed as negligible. He cannot re-
create his party on the strength of
this vindication OF a phrase uttered
in derogation of an erstwhile politi-
cal associate.

Admission to Mount Vernon

The board OF regents of. Mount
Vernon. al the annual session Just
closed, issued statement TO remind
the public that children are ad-
mitted free OF charge to the historic
estate and tomb of George Washing
ton. This is a gratifying condition,
which should be widely noted, SO
that the children OF this country may
be taken in greater numbers to the
American patriotic shrine. Every
child should visit the home of the
first President. to draw an inspira-
tion from the establishment which
even today is envcloped in the at
mospherc OF his personality.

democracy, and either voted for the
republican candidate, or for the third
candidate, who had been nominated
for their accommodation. Mr.. Bailey
did not leave Office, and it has never
been charged that he bolted his par
tvs ticket.
Twice again Mr. Bryan was de-
feated for President, and on both oc-
casions many democrats refused him
support because of the charge that
he was not of the school of Jefferson.
Mr.. Bryan. however, has never
changed the views that subjected
him to this criticism in his own party.
If he was not a Jeffersonian demo-
crat when he ran for President, he
is not now. If he was, he is. More
over. he is the premier OF an admin
istration which calls itself demo-
cratic. and is accepted as such by the
great majority of the party calling
itself the party of Jefferson, and in
its appeals to the people conjures in
the name of Jefferson.
But neither has Mr.. Bailey
changed his views He seems not
to have been influenced by changes
that have taken place in others.
They evidently have been numerous,
as he confesses that but few Jeffer-
sonians remain A list would be in

crat of today has strayed from the

Test the Gas Water Heaters

A gas water heater. presumably of
4 type not approved by the District
government, yesterday came within
an ace of causing the death of four
children. By narrow margin the
little ones lives were saved, when
their mother discovered them uncon-
seious in the basement where the
heater was located.
Warnings have been given, in terms
Of Official utterances and in the form
of tragedies, that certain types OF
gas water heaters are productive of
carbon monoxidc. and that this gas
is deadly poison, the more danger
Gus because without odor. 1t would
seem impossible that any resident of
the District capable of reading does
not know these things today. Yet
carbon monoxide cases occur re-
peatedly, sometimes with fatal re-
suits.
Since the first of January three
cases have occurred, one causing
death, and each time the warning
has been sounded by the District au-
thorities that the Inspector of plumb
ing will promptly respond to a re-
quest for an examination of the do
mestic hot water apparatus to ascer-
tain If it is of a safe type. A tele-
phone call OF a post card will bring
the inspector. Amy householder who

ises which has not been already

Concentrating Crime.

A shocking example of the ten
dency to commercial tragedy is af-
forded by the announcement that the
Long Island woman who recently
was acquitted on her second trial OF
numbering a woman patient of her
husband is seriously considering ac-
ceptance of an offer to pose for mo-
ton pictures illustrative of the shoot
ing. The husband is reported to have
stated that his wife's trial has cost
so much money that the pay offered
by the movie" promoters is temp
tation to engage in this gruesome bit
of enterprise. Apart from the ques-
ton of personal taste, which would
naturally deter woman from ex-
plotting herself in this manner, it
may be suggested that the censor
ship which is supposed to supervise
the product of the motion picture
camera would intervene to prevent
the production. 1t will be unwho1e-
some to present this case, with it's
actual living principals, before the
multitudes constituting the motion
picture public. Fictional stories of
crime are bad enough material fo-
the movie" stage, and reproductions
of notorious cases cannot fail to ex-
ert malevolent influence. 1t would,
perhaps, be in the interest of public
morals to prohibit the representa-
ton by motion pictures of any ac-
tual tragedy resulting in a court
trial

Judge Steele Interprets the Law
Governing Contracts With Counties

b. j. Fike and Henry Mitchell, part
ners in the contracting business, lost
an $ll, ZOO suit against Lewis county,
according to a decision handed down
by Judge Steele here Saturday.
Fike G Mitchell entered into con-
tract with the Lewis county commits
sioners for construction of highway
for $7250. They were the lowest bid
ders. Subsequently they made addi-
tional verbal agreements with all the
individual members of the board of
county commissioners at times when
the board was not in session, to change
the width of the highway and also the
nature and extent of bridge plans, loca-
tions of work and other items, which
went to make up an additional claim of
$11, 900.
The county attorney of Lewis county
advised the county commissioners they
had no right to make contracts when
not in session as board, and that
therefore, they could not legally pay
this additional claim of $l1, coo, no mat
ter if the work was reasonably worth
the amount. The result was that the

Signs Point to Railroad
From Elk River to Weippe

There Is good foundation for belief
that Weippe is to have a railroad not
later than next year, and that work
will start early the coming spring or
this fall. Surveyors are again in the
field running lines from Elk River to
Weippe via Big Island, and there is
rumor that the Milwaukee will tap
this great empire of which Weippe is
the commercial center. 1t is a diff
cult route to negotiate, but not impos-
sible, and when one appreciates the
fabulous tonnage that will originate
from timber alone it can be seen that
the Milwaukee, Weyerhauser inter-
est. can afford to construct as difficult
piece of road as the Elk River
Weippe branch. The road will prob
ably leave the North Fork below Big
Island at the mouth of Reeds creek
and follow up this creek to near head
quarters. there branching off towards
Pierce and Weippe.
There is slight reason for dscour-
agement over the temporary shutdown
at Weippe. This is probably addi-
tional evidence that there is to be
