Independence Day Funds,

The Star trusts that there will be
no delay or difficulty in the subscrip-
ton OF the $1,000 necessary for the
community celebration OF Independ-
ence day. This is at the rate of less
than cent apiece for each of the
people OF the District. and there is
surely enough public spirit here in
Washington to produce this small
sum, for which a program will be
rendered giving enjoyment to many
thousands and sustaining the record
of patriotic observance at the capi-
tai. Every penny of the amount
needed should be subscribed well in
advance OF Independence day. so that
the committees in charge may know
how far they are justified in going in
incurrlng expense. The annual diff
culties IN the way OF raising these
community celebration funds are a
reproach 10 Washington.

The National Prohibition Leader.

1t is Idle to talk about Mr.. Bryan
for President on a platform with
prohibition as the paramount issue.
He is a prohibitionist all right; but
he is also a democrat, and was a
member of the Wilson administra-
ton for more than two years. There
are many reasons why he would not
fit the assignment.
Capt. Hobson is still the best bet.
He is out of office and wants office !;
is a prohibitionist, and puts that is
sue above all others spoke for 1t
while in Congress, and has been
speaking for it since leaving Con-
gress; is known to and admired by
the "old guard" OF the prohibition
lists all over the country. Like Mr..
Bryan, he is still democrat, but, un-
like him, is not hampered as respects
the administration.
o. The administration was against
Capt. Hobson in his race for senator.
Its influence was thrown to Mr.. I'm
derwood, who at the time as leader
of the House was assisting the Pres
ident in passing through that body
measures the President had recon-
mended. Naturally, the President
was rewar ding valuable services rem
dered.
(2) Capt Hobson has not ap-
proved, but openly criticised, some
features OF the administrations rec
ord respecting the war. He has urged
sitter tone toward Great Britain
on the subject OF the rights OF neu-
trails on the sea.
81 He has for years been an ad-
vanced advocate OF a much stronger
national defense, especially ahoat.
His views on that subject have been
voiced most aggressively since his
party took charge of the government.
He has criticised his party because
OF its neglect of the naval establish
ment He believes in thorough pre-
paredness against war.
While in Congress Capt. Hobson
as a democrat voted with his party
on the issues ior which it long had
stood. The Underwood tariff bill, the
currency bill, the new antitrust reg
ulations, all found a supporter in
him.
He was criticised for frequent alb
sences from the House, but when alb
sent he was filling speaking engage
nents, with prohibition his principal
topic He kept the subject always in
mind; and when the House voted on
the subject of nationwide prohibit
ton he led the prohibition forces and
made the leading argument on that
| side.
! For these reasons Capt. Hobson
/ has come into consideration as the
most eminent of the champions OF
prohibition, and as the one under
whose leadership next year the
strongest impression could be made
against the drink evil.

The Meyer. Meyer Gerhard Affair

Whether the man who sailed re-
Gently from New York for Germany
as a special carrier OF messages IRON
the German ambassador here relating
to state OF public opinion on the
Lusitania case was DR.. Anton Meyer
Gerhard or DR.. Alfred Meyer is not
a matter of any particular moment.
If he was DR.. Meyer Gerhard he
sailed in the same capacity as if he
were DR.. Meyer. The only question
involved is whether the safe conduct
that was given to DR.. Meyer-Ger-
hard would have been given by the
allied powers to Dir. Meyer, inasmuch
as DR.. Meyer Gerhard was known to
be merely a representative OF the
German Red Cross in this country,
while Dr. Meyer was supposed to
have been here as the agent of the
German government for the purpose
of buying war supplies. II the bearer
of Count Won Bernstorff's special
message was in fact DR.. Meyer an
imposition was practiced which does
no particular harm save to the pres
tige of Germany. which stands guilty
of Misrepresentation. 1t makes no
particular difference to the United
States whether the message was
borne by one or the other man. 1t
does, of course, make a difference
whether it asked for safe conduct
from the allies for DR.. Meyer upon
the representation that it was asking
it for DR.. Meyer-Gerhard. If this
should prove to be the case it will
be entitled to an explanation from
the German ambassador.

Business and the Future.

The Star in its news columns yes
terdav presented A matter OF very
great interest to the whole country.
This related 10 the work OF the
federal trades commission. That
tribunal it was stated. will help ma
terially in the governments future
course toward the trusts. with the
special view OF discouraslng lIt1ga-
ton. and blocking the games OF those
who have found a pront IN ra.dlng
big business.
The commission could not be bet
ter employed. The country could not
be better served. In a field so IN
viting a commission so constituted
should ind large opportunity.
1t is not to be supposed that the
recent court decisions and the I'M
proved feeling in business circles
growing out of them mean that every
thing is to be wide open again.
with the trusts without restraint !;
that the bride has been taken off.
and that big business can go its own
gait and way without fear OF moles-
tation. Intelligent big business, we
may all be sure. is not so advised.
The trust laws are still on the books,
and still invoka bic against predatory
capital. Lawlessness can still be
reached, and. when detected, pun
ished
The pendulum will not swing back
to that extreme What is intended
and what the trades commission can
aid in accomplishing is return to
what the Supreme Court has called
the rule of reason; the establish
ing and maintaining OF conditions
whereby business of all sizes, big and
little, with lawful objects and pros
per1ty IN view, can be advised in
times of doubt about its rights un-
der the law, and thus freed from
doubt and menace.
Certainly the country has had
enough of lawless business meddling
. in politics, and of selfish and igno-
rant politics meddling in business A
check would have come if there had
been no war. Demagogy and muck
raking had about run their course.
There would have been but little
market longer for ratings against
business by those who had reduced
railing to business.
But the war came. and brought
with 1t valuable lessons to US. This
is no time for harrying capital, even
when 1t is conceded that capital at
all times needs watching. We are
relying upon capital, not only to keep
US on an even keel while the present
world storm is raging, but to steer
US upon new courses after the storm
has passed. AS we are all in the
same boat, is it not the duty of all
to sit tight, and frown upon. and il
necessary lay hand upon. anybody
who shows disposition to become
"rocker".
