BURTON,S BOOM

Just how far the Hon. Theodore f
Burton acquiesced in the Presidential
boom launched for him at a testimo-
nial banquet rendered him last week
by his fellow citizens and admirers OF
Cleveland Is not known. Not that Mr..
Burton is not OF presidential size and
qualifications. for he Is. eminently so
but the Ohio statesman Is somewhat
umid about such matters. so far as
abilities go. in real statesmanship and
business sense. and other qualifying
equilibriums. Mr.. Burton measures up
TO that Of any man whose name has
been tentatively or avowedly ad-
vanced. Every Republican in and out
OF Ohio can subscribe TO the tribute
paid him by one OF the banquet ora
tors. who said THE long public serv-
ice OF Senator Burton. his scholarly
attainments. mellowed and matured
by contact with actual conditions rath-
er than theories alone: his clean, life
end courageous spirit. his understand
ing and appreciation of our present
and future needs stamps him pre-emi-
nently as the man to lead the hosts
OF Republicans to victory in 1916"
The great trouble with Ohio is that
she has an embarrassing number of
"-favorite sons" Several former aspi-
rants have suffered under this handi-
cap in former years. Therefore. The
Intelligencer believes that Mr. Burton
is too astute 10 assume that the Cleve-
lend compliment is an imperative de-
mand until he shall have received def
mite assurances from other quarters
that would insure the unanimous sup
port OF the Ohio delegation.

UNSATISFACTORY REPLY

The forecast OF the satisfactory
character Of the German reply 10
the last American note turns out TO
have been a. deiusive a. was Bryar's
intlmation that President Wilson's
note meant war. Certainly Germany
cannot expect the United States 10 he
sstisfied. or notified. by some con
cessions which are. In reality. moth
ing more than a recoenition OF TIRE
rights Of any neutral. while the main
question 10 ignored and subordiuated
by the prominence given a few imma-
terial assurances. Again Berlin Is
controversial instead OF categorical.
But. In spite OF the grave view Of the
situation taken by Washington. The
Intelligencer does not believe II to be
30 irremediable az the majority Of the
press Of the country seems TO be in
clined 20. Let US hope while there Is
hope. and not be disposed to despair
simply because the Washington gov
eminent can do nothing more under
the circumstances than insist on the
rightful solution OF the questions
raised in the first instance OF the
"strict accountability OF Germany
with regard TO the recognition Of the
justice Of the American claims grow
Ing out OF the Lusitania tragedy.
These rights are simple enough.
and are established by precedent and
reinforced by international law. the
accepted arbiter of all civilized ma
lions. War Is waged against armed
and uniformed men. not against I'M
armed non-combatants and women
and children. All law and justice. be-
sides humanitarian considerations. is
arrayed against sending neutrals and
inoffensive non-combatants 20 death
ships OF even a beIligerent power.
These. when so caught by an enemy
ship. should be safesuarded in life
and possessions before any attack is
made.
In other words. the Washington con.
tention is that the American citizens
right to safety in the pursuit OF his
legitimate business on board an un-
armed merchant ship OF an enemy
shall be recognized as well as on the
decks OF a neutral There can be no
honorable recession from that posi-
ton by the United States. and Il is
strange that Germany has not been
Convinced Of that fact by this time.
Notwithstanding It was unfortunately
misled by false representations OF the
real intentions OF this country In the
first place by unauthorized spokes-
men for the self-respecting sentiment
Of the American nation.
II is not unimportant to note the
otherwise friendly tone OF the German
reply and trust that Il may eventually
lead to the peaceful end OF a most IN
pleasant controversy.
