Yankee Ingenuity

1t is unquestionably true, as Maj
Gen. Barnett. commandant OF the
Marine Corps, said the other night
in an address, that the American peo-
pie have in the past relied in their ma
tional emergencies upon what he
styled Yankee ingenuity" to find
ways and means of solution, and that
this reliance has been justified in
the past by results. But it is not
safe, as Gen. Barnett urges, to con-
tinue thus to depend upon cleverness
in the device of methods to meet
menaces. Other people are ingenious,
and it is conceivable that the United
States may meet them and find them
more fully prepared for a conflict
The best uses to which Yankee in
genuity" can be put in the matter of
national defense lie in the way of
preparation. Doubtless in the his
tory Of military invention the Amer
leans have held their own with other
nationalities, and, perhaps, have even
scored the best record in the way of
devising agencies of ofense and de-
Evening star., 1915-05-25

fense. yet practically the whole world
now has the use of these inventions
and processes which have originated
here. Some notable instances of
this ingenuity occurred during the
civil war. perhaps the most con-
spicuous being the invention of the
monitor, which is regarded by some
analysts OF the conflict a. one of the
chief factors OF federal success.
Ericsson. however, was not an Amer
lean by birth. but Swede. Lieut..
Cushing's exploit in pioneer torpedo
warfare was more definitely an ex-
ample of Yankee ingenuity At no
other time than i'll war is it more
true that necessity is the mother OF
invention" The present conflict in
Europe has undoubtedly already de-
veloped devices of offense and de-
tense under the inspiration of need.
and there is no reason to believe that
in similar situation our people
would be more fertile of conception
in this line than those OF other lands.
The surest use for dependable ma
tional security to which this much
relied upon ingenuity could be put
would be to provide in season such
measures of defense as the country's
situation plainly demands.

essential to republican success at the
polls. and that his friends are boom
ing him for his party's national
leadership Wherever he goes. be-
fore whatever audience he stands,
whatever duty he may be discharg-
ing, that fact will stand out and mark
him.
When this journey was first pro-
posed. however, Gov. Whitman was
stronger in his party's presidential
equation than he is today. While he
did not dominate the recent New
York legislature. he suffered as the
result of the record that body made
1t was not good record, 1t was
criticised even in republican circles.
1t did not measure up to the party's
campaign promises. or to the peoples
expectations based thereon.
But the Whitman boom has not
ceased to boom. There is boom in
the old boom yet. New York has
year in which to decide upon its
course at the republican national
convention. II it should decide to
present Gov. Whitman as its favor
itc son to that body. giving assur-
ances as to his strength at home. his
name will command attention. If it
does not present his name. no other
state will 1t would be premature,
therefore. to count Gov. Whitman
out at this time.
The New York governor will be
the third presidential aspirant to
visit the Pacific coast and greet the
people along the way. Mr.. Fair
banks was the first, and met a very
cordial reception at the big show
and everywhere else. Senator Weeks
followed, and according to all ac-
counts made an excellent impression.
Now Gov Whitman will try his hand.

Mail Collectors PAY.

Postmaster Praeger's explanation
OF the order recently issued to mail
collectors to show cause why they
should not be reduced in pay indi-
Gates that this is not an economy
movement. but an effort to readJust
the pay of the men on the collection
routes in accordance with their eff
cheney. There can be no objection
TO such scaling OF the pay of the
postal workers provided that there
are equivalent promotions to accom-
pany reductions. But it is an cx-
pcdient OF doubtful propriety if this
move is merely intended to reduce
the pay OF collectors as class. with
out any advances in compensation
within the class. 1t may be true. as
the postmaster sets forth. that mail
collectors are not required to do as
much or as cXaCtIng work as dis
tributers. but this fact does not jus-
thy an administrative Encouragement
of the salaries 10 reduce the former
IN pay merely to bring them below

already indicated that it considers
that 1t alone can hx the pay scale of
classes of postal workers. and il re-

A Connecting Parkway Problem.

The Commissioners are placed in
most difficult position by the appli-
cations lately filed for permits to
erect buildings within the area vir
tually pre-empted by act of Congress
for parkway to connect Potomac
and Rock Creek parks. No con-
demnation proceedings have been in
stituted for the acquisition of this
land. no money. indeed. having been
appropriated for the purpose. Yet
the project has been approved. and
a map of prospective acquisitions has
been officially adopted. To permit
new buildings within the area would
be to add unnecessarily to the cost
of acquisition, and yet to refuse to
grant permits would be to deny the
owners of this property the right to
use their land, which may not be
taken from them for long time.
As administrators of the municipal
ity the Commissioners are required
to take cognizance OF definite
ly contemplated public improvement.
and as conservators of the rights of
citizens they are compelled to grant
the use of private property within
the prescribed limits of established
regulations. Their situation is, there
fore. embarrassing. If Congress were
in session the case might be referred
directly to the houses for determina-
ton, but unfortunately at least six
months will elapse before a new ses-
sion convenes.
1t might be the best solution of the
problem for the Commissioners
frankly to acknowledge to the APP
plicants for permits that they are
not in a position to decide the case,
and to ask them to defer their ap-
plications until Congress meets, when
the matter will be laid before it for
definite declaration of intention i'll
the premises. If any property owner
then feels himself unjustly deprived
OF the use of his land he can appeal
to court for a mandamus to compel
the issuance of the permit. This is
question OF law Interpretation, after
all, turning upon considerations OF
public policy. 1t is undesirable TO
add to the prospective cost OF the
parkway connection, and it is also
undesirable to prevent private i'm
provements pending congressional
delays in the execution OF the con-
templated work, delays which ex-
perience suggests may be protractcd
In any case the Commissioners should
not be compelled to bear alone the
responsibility OF decision in a mat
ter OF such difficulty and importance

Ships.

Our trade problem with Central
and South America depends greatly
on ships. We have only few now
a beggarly equipment when the sit
uation is properly considered. We
need a merchant feet OF the largest
size and the latest appointments.
With nothing less can we hope to do
what this country desires. and what
the pan-American financial confer
ence has in mind and under dis
cussien. In his address to the confer
ence yesterday President Wilson III
referring to the matter said; II prl-
vate capital cannot remedy tins SIT
uation, the government must. The
sentiment was roundly applauded by
all present.
Private capital has not concerned
itself with ocean transportation tor
long time. Land transportation has
engaged its attention. and been de-
veloped by it to high degree OF
profitable efficiency. As a result, for
eigners have been carrying our sea
freights. and doing an enormous
business for us which we should have
been doing for ourselves. Will pri-
vate capital. under the present lure,
come forward and improve the op-
portunity? If not, then if anything
is to be done the government must
help.
But in what way? The ship pur-
chase bill fought and defeated in
Congress last winter was criticised
as tainted with state socialism. Seven
democratic senators opposed it on
that distinct charge. Government
ownership and operation did not APP
peal to them because of the fear that
such policy if entered upon might.
probably would. lead too far aheld.
They confessed our helplessness on
the water and the need of ships. but
were not willing to remedy matters
by the means proposed.
There is no evidence that those
men have changed their minds. All
but one are still in Office. and will
give further consideration to the sub
ject when Congress meets. Will the
President renew the contest on the
old lines? and will they again op-
pose him?
The word subsidy" has long been
on the democratic black list. al
though subsidy agencies under
euphemisms have often been en-
ployed by that party. AS applied to
a merchant marine, Great Britain.
Germany and Japan have done won
ders on the water with the aid of
subsidies. They became the worlds
greatest sea carriers by liberal as
sistance of that character to private
enterprise. Could we not by adopt
ing the same policy accomplish as
much for ourselves, and meet all the
requirements OF this time. which
teens with opportunities for US? If
not, why not?
The subject is in hand. and what
is said now will assist when Con-
gress meets in the solution of one
OF the most important problems that
body will consider.

They're dispelled for awhile, as we

marked to the shad.
