THE DOOM OF THE WHIsKER

From the industrial district of
Pennsylvania comes report that the
hygienic authorities of some of the
steel concerns have issued an edict
that the whisker must go. 1t is un-
hygienic, is loaded with microbes
and things, and drops them in un-
desirable places, especially drinking
vessels. So the SNUG mug must re-
place the alfalfa face.
The most casual consideration of
the place whiskers have. occupied in
the evolution of civilization, must
lead to the conclusion that the steel
concerns are at last performing a
service that justifies their existence.
Even an unholy monopoly, a grind
ing trust, could well defend it's right
to continuance by proving that it
had been an effective foe of the
whisker. Aboriginal man was uni
versally lambrequinned, because
stone razors were not successful.
But just as fast as art, industry and
civilization brought him into pos
session of the wherewith to ampu-
tate the disfgurements, he began
shaving.
The more primitive people, those
that have least progressed from bar
barism, are observed to be most ad-
dicted to whiskers. Among the most
enlightened races it is to be noted,
in confirmation of the theory that
whiskers are essentially barbarous,
that anarchists always wear large,
boisterous punches of them. There
is right now positive demand for an
snalStical study of the uplifting in
The Washington times., 1915-04-28

from an acute mental or nervous
disease no longer is regarded as q
disgrace. Nor is he subjected to the
legal processes of a criminal before
being treated. A trained social
worker goes into the home, advises
the family Of the best course to
take to obtain treatment, and every
effort is made to minimize the fric-
tion. Yesterday Mr.. Beers sat in a
Washington court and watched per-
sons being "tried" for insanity, sub
jected to the hearing of evidence
about their cases, and then passed
upon by jury of laymen.
1t seems hardly conceivable that
a person needing treatment for
mental ills may not go to the Gov
ernment Hospital for the Insane,
just as a man with any other all
ment could 60 to any of a score of
hospitals here. But he cannot. He
must be charged" "tried," and
Convicted" of insanity. And aside
from the aggravation that process
gives his case, he loses many of the
rights of citizenship.
Less has been said about this need
for new statutes relating to the
treatment of insanity than about the
need of home for the feeble mind
ed. Both are important, and both
will be given impetus by the form
alton of society here similar to
that which is doing effective work
in SO many States.

COUNT OKUMA'S INTERVIEW

realizing its implications as we'll as
its actual statements, the interview
with Count Okuma, premier Of ia
pan, which is printed in The Times
today, is the most enlightening pre-
sentation of Japan's policy in China
that has been made since the twen-
ty-one demands were presented by
Tokyo to Peking. Oscar King Davis,
trained journalist, long familiar with
Eastern affairs, writes the statement
of the japanese premier. 1t is re-
assuring in general; but it's reassur-
ance is based on the presumption
that the United States will not deem
it necessary or desirable to inter-
fere with Japan's purpose of estab-
fishing herself as the foremost in
fuence in directing the development
of China.
Count Okuma declares that the i'm
migration question, as a cause of
friction between the two countries,
is becoming less acute. This is an
encouraging statement, for it comes
from the highest authority. There
has been fear in this country that the
negotiations between the two coun-
tries might have approached an i'm
passe. Count Okuma declares the
contrary; and he knows.
Regarding China, the japanese
case is excellently stated. Japan is
the nearest neighbor to China; wants
to consolidate her interests in the
East; and naturally regards China,
a neighboring country peopled by a
kindred race, as the obvious place
for the development of her enter
prises. In short, the Japanese,
promising that they will preserve the
open door of opportunity, ask for
American cooperation in the work
for China, indicate that they want
their own full opportunity there, and
suggest that if they get it they will
have no occasion to bother America
with any immigration problem.
This interview is no diplomatic
paper; but its tone is decidedly that
of diplomacy. 1t contains no threat,
no alternative of policy; but it does
make very clear that Japan has no
thought of being moved from her
purpose to move forward in her eco
nomic policy toward China. He calls
attention that when China required
to be protected from Russian ag-
gression, it was not Britain, or the
United States, that stepped in and
took the burden of war; it was ia
pan; and beca' Sc of that, Japan feels
insistent upon getting the benefits
of her improved posture and increas-
ed prestige in China. But she does
not aim at domination or monopoly;
she promises to sustain the open door
program.
Americans have complained of
their denial of fair opportunity in
Manchuria. Okuma retorts that
they have no occasion to complain;
they have not been enterprising
enough to develop the opportunities
open to them there. At this point
there will be some sharp disagree
ments; many American complaints
have strongly suggested that in spe-
cific detail Japanese policy has in
fact been hostile to the ideal of equal
opportunity. But on the other hand
there is no doubt that American COM
mercial policy has lacked aggressive
ness and insistence in that quarter.

THE NAVAL DISPOSITIONS

iheic nave DeeH IepedIeu ISPoItS
of German warcraft cruising about
the North Sea lately, at long dis
tances from their base; and wonder
ment that the British blockading
force has not interfered, seeking &C
tion. The explanation doubtless is
that British naval strategy is seek
ing bigger game than a running
fight to drive German providers back
behind Helgoland.
Shutting up the North Sea is
very different task from that which
confronted Sampson in bottling up
the Spanish fleet at Santiago, or
Togo in keeping the Russians tight
in Port Arthur. The British have
drawn a Gordon of warships across
the northern end of the North Sea,
from Scotland to Norway, and an
other across the English channel,
from the French to the British coast.
This leaves the Germans ample
room within which they are prob
ably pretty safe to take occasional
airings. 1t is not conceivably a part
of British strategy to seek an en-
gagement in narrow waters that
may be mined, and in which the Ger
mans would run through mine fields
which they knew but in which they
could be pursued only at imminent
risks to the pursuers.
Rather, the British game is to
tempt the Germans into another raid
in force, that might get them far
enough away from their base to per-
NIT cutting off their return, keeping
them out, and forcing them to fight
in comparatively wide waters where
the danger of mines and submarines
would be minimized. The German
fleet is doing just what British naval
authorities want it to do, if it is
sending out considerable souadrons
from time to time to nose around the
open sea and convince the world
that it is not blockaded at all. The
truth is that it is blockaded, and that
its inferiority in numbers is such
that it Dare not give battle unless
reasonably assured of special ad-
vantages.
When the war opened both Eng
land and France had larger sub
marine fleets than Germany. These
have been little heard from, while
the Germans have been very active.
In all probability the English and
French underwater strength has
been largely increased in the last
nine months. 1t will not be long be-
fore the world will begin to hear
from these craft.
Their business will be very differ
ent from that of the German in
visibles, which have been raidinp
commerce. 1t will be to 90 into the
closed waters of the German naval
base and pick off the warships lying
there. 1t will be an inexpressibly
dangerous adventure; and it is one
that could not be undertaken during
the months of darkness and heavy
fogs. Those months are now past;
and the time is approaching when
the British-French scouts must busy
themselves with the great naval af-
fair OF the war: the actual engage
ment and destruction of the Ger
man fleet. If they are unable to ac-
complish this, the overwhelming
naval power of the allies will have
proved Intellectual.

The Bible as the Source of Morals, F"
was DR.. Stops subject of a learned
and academic ANALYSIS of ethics and
morals from the time of primitive man
down TO the present day. DR.. Stops
is deservingly popular with local audi
ences for the clearness with which he
presents problems in philosophy.
"Wednesday nights lecture on what
might be a dry subject was made
clear cut and interesting.
DR.. Stops pointed out how. in the
time Of primitive man, and during the
ages Of early history, the individual
was SoDSerNlent TO Inc CiaN, lTlpe, OF
state, and that the individual was
nothing in himself except that he was
a part OF the clan, tribe or state. The
Individual was regarded 10 have been
born solely to be part of his tribe
or clan, and not for himself as an in
dividual He pointed TO the old
testament for documentary proof Of
this theory of tribal law.
He compared this social condition
With the individualism OF today,
especially in most of the more adj
vanced democracies, where the in
dividual is first. the state being sub
servient to him. Biblical authority for
this modern theory. DR.. Stops found
in the teachings of Saint Paul
One notable exception to individual
ism, DIR. Stops found, was in Ger
many where the state. is first always
and the end, and where the individual
/ is merely the means to that end. He
thought it quite probable that the
/ European war was in part at least an
, outgrowth Of conflict between in
dividualism of England and France
and the state of Germany.
More probable as a cause of this
war he believed, he said, was that the
European nations engaged in it be-
lieved that they could advance com
n,erciallv and as world powers only
at the cost of the nation or nations
against which they We're warning.
