THE SUBJECT OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.

Congressman Gardner of Massachusetts has
been called a lingo and has been given much abuse
in the newspapers but after all he has done the
country public service in calling attention TO the
iuadeQuacy of national defenscs It may also be
said to his credit that he has not sought TO make
il party issue.
There has been partisanshIp in the discussion
since Gardner started it, but he did not inject it.
II is true that when he brought ny the subject II
was regarded as an attack on the administration
but that was an UNJUST accusation
The madequary Of national delcuSes is prob
ably due to our system of government, winch dlt'
fuses power instead Of concentrating it, In con
greSs there are four committees, two IN the senate
and two in the house which deal with military
matters. II is often the case that they work with
ont much relation to each other to the army and
navy department of the executive branch.
If the latter is counted there are six powerful
bodies in 4he government just as likely to be pull
ing apart as to be pulling together. and without
perhaps intending to do so. The result is that
nothing is accomplished when the departments, by
working together, could be as effective as coulC
be desired
II is proposed by Congressman Gardner that
commission be appointed to inquire into the mat
ter of defense Others have recommended perma
nent council such as other countries have, bu
the United States has not yet reached the poin
where such is a necessity 1t may be that Gardne
is some years ahead of the rest Of the country bu
it is just as we'll that the matter be started now
since by the very nature of things the work vii
move with customary slowness.

AN UNooMPRoMIsING FOE OF NEPoTIsM

President Edward j James of the University
Of Illinois must be the most uncompromlsng foe
Of nepotsm ever known in this country Presl-
dent James recently announced that the young
man who had married his daughter, and who was
then the controller Of the university, would lose
his place because the president was opposed to
nepOtsm.
The president Of the university said it was
his decided opinion based on long experience,
that university presidents and school bodies should
be prohibited by law from appointing to positions
under them persons related by blood or marriage,
for "nepotsm is in ts quality more subtle and
more corruptng influence than either politics or
religion directed to the same end bad as these
are And he feels so strongly on this point that
he extends the general principle to include and
exclude the Young man on the staff who happens
to marry into the family.
President James is 30 supersenstive as TO be
foOshly impractical in the opinion Of sober
minded persons II the younger man had married
in expectation of getting professorshp the elder
would be on proper ground Of Spartan heroNn
in barring the way to one under himself If the
lad was entering matrimony with view to re-
tanning his position he ought to lose both posi-
tion and girl But as he now has the place on his
merits, apparently, it is carrying al intrinsicay
praseworthy conviction with regard to the wills
W nepoism to an absurd extreme to apply it "a
oust him
1t might he eXcussble to apply it hereafter Il
bar promotion while father nlaw is at the mead OF
the institution, thereby making it an object fol
son-in.law TO take his ambitions to q more favor

AN EFFORT TO PLEASE THE PUBLIC

1t is pleasing to note that new slogan Is be
ing adopted by so many Of the public utility cor
porations Railroads, street ear companies, water
and gas companies and many others are now try
.ing to please the public instead Of assuming the
defiant attitude that used to be so familiar
There is in the Electric Railway journal a
long list of the cities that now use the nearHde
stop which is counted an effort to please the pub
lie and provide for its safety. The list includes
New York and Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia
and many Others that are smaller, including Okla
homa City Many Of the cities have adopted II
since 1910, although Toronto has the distinction
of being the first to adopt it, rs far back AZ IN
1891
But the public-be pleased policy is shown IN
stations Of small size and little waiting places
that are q shelter against wind and storm with
out taking up much room where travel is not large
on roads
The public-be pleased policy IS spreading with
great rapidity throughout the land, following the
safety first movement and the proof that by care
the loss Of life among travellers il reduced to q
minimum.
The railroads were among the first to sdopt
the publiC-be- pleased slogan and 1t soon spread
to the others 1t was radical change for the rail
road companies and in some instances they have
not yet succeeded in bringing all their employees
under subjecton, but they are making progress
and in time may tame.the naughty conductor and
even the station agent.

the president has announced his opposition to 1t
and his intention to veto if sent to HIM, it still
will 20 with the prospect of being passed over

The problem of immigration has become very
serious one beyond question Perhaps more Ill
consequence is traced TO the admission OF certain
elements than is quite just fair, IN view of the
lawlessness prevailing in some parts of the land
where there is no immigration to speak of and
never has been
The probability that the country will be
flooded with immigrants after the war is over
makes the bill now pending of more Importance
than it would he at any other time

70 SOLVE AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM

There is probably no more important problem
before the people Of the United States at this time
than that of immigration, which the bill now
pending in congress attempts to solve. 1t is con.
ceded that great advance is made in most of
its provisions and that they are reasonable in their
requirements with respect to the conditions under
which people may come from foreign countries to
settle in the United States
The great point, however. over which debate
has arisen is the section providing that an nmi.
grant must be able, II of reading age to read in
some language, whether it be English or soma
other The test Of permission TO come into the
country Is literscy.
Thc same bill in substance has been brought nm
before and failed Of passage Ii has been opposed
by large number OF the leading men OF the
country, including ex-President Taft, and a short
time ago Senator Root made one Of the strongest
efforts Of his senatorial career in opposition tC

meuss majority The indications are that though

BELLeERENTs ARE NOT COMPLAINING.

Most of the complaints that are made about the
sale Of arms and ammunition come from residents
Of this country and principally from those who are
still mistakenly under the belief that they owe al
legiance to the fatherland No complaints have
been made by any Of the belhgerents against
americans selling war msterisl wherever they can
hnd market
There could be no consistency in complaint in
that point FOR all the nations now involved in the
war have at times done the same thing when 9TH
eH than their own countries we're engaged In q
war and the neutrals had war goods TO sell.
II has been the rule from ancient days that
neutras might sell to belligerents assuming the
risk of capture on the high seas II they did so
That is wholly different affair from building
aud equipping vessels ready for work and letting
them go out TO make war The Alabama case has
no bearing on that point an many contend, fol
the privateer was allowed to leave England to aiC
portion OF people in revolt against the national
authority and with no recognized standing
nation
Mr. Schwab might have legally sold parts Of
ships to any belligerent, as well as guns and am
muniton, but turned down orders for such good,
out of regard for the suggestion Of the president
that our citizens observe more than the usual de
gree of neutrality
Barring the enlistment Of troops and the fur
nishing of warships there il hardly anything tha,
a neutral may not sell without protest to any bel
hgcrent, only taking the risk Of capture as con
trahand
