NOT SDuAR CASES.

Sen. Lodge queries. anent Bryans
peace plan:
When the flag was fred on at
TT Sumter, should we have wait
ed year?
Chances are that if the people Of the
United States could have then foreseen
the horrors OF the succeeding years,
they would have been waiting yet.
But the cases are not analogous. The
confederacy was not a recognized ma
ton. Right or wrong in principle, the
firing on TT. Sumter was an act of
treason. punishable under the consti-
tuition Of the United States.
We are not necessarily defending
Mr.. Bryans arbitration treaties. Bitter
experience has proved that peace
treaties are apt TO become moth eaten
unless cannon balls are freely used as
a preventative.
But we are for any kind of an un-
derstanding between nations that will
stave off war until they have time to
weigh cause and effect in the balance

THOSE STRANDED TOURISTS.

The record of the American tourists
stranded in Europe last year and

Uncle Sam is not fiattering. From first

To begin with. they raised Cain be-

them up and bring them home when
they were caught in the war zone
without cash And then. when the
government opened its treasury and
paid their fare home, about half OF
them accepted the money as a gift,
in spite Of an explicit understanding
that it was merely a loan.
Such. at least. is the logical gist of
a report published by the state de-
partment Of half a million dollars ap-
propriated by congress and advanced
TO tourists, only about $4,000 had
been repaid at the end of June. There
is no disposition to press those who
really desire to pay. But as for the
others the attorney general threatens
to enter suit and publish their names
if they persist in ignoring the obliga-
ton.
And here is hoping that the after
