The SherIhf Has the Power. and All He
Wants Is Courage.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuS-Sir:
Gene Kinkead. out Bayonne way. has
certainly, 1t seems. resuscitated the office
OF Sheriff to what II was once, II au-
thoritles are to be believed. Listen to
this on the Sheriff. his duties and
powers. under the old established Eng
lish law:
The chief sncer of the Crown In every
county or shire, who does all the soNer-
eisn's business In the county, the Crown
by letters patent comn.rting the custody

keeper OF the peace. the sheriff Is the
first mar in the county. and trperior In
rank 10 any nobteman therein durins his

Now while there have been modihca-
tiuns under our republican form OF gov
ernment, the principle. as ! take II, re-
mains the same. In other words. the
sheriff can swing things as kinkead
has done, IL he has a proper conception
of his duties. or he can content himself
with being a mere political figurehcad.
as have sorne Sher.ns We have known.
Therefore. more honor TO sheriff Kin

A grandsire of mine who had served
In the Revolutionary war was after

ception OF the part | had viewed this
honor lightly. but now with swelling
pride | am considering the formation
of a society OF the Sons of Sherifs. the
notion of a peace compeller somehow

ments than fuss over a maker OF war.

A PRECEDENT.
Great Brltaiu's Warning, rs q Neutral,
10 Her Subjects.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuE-Sir: The
methods employed by Germany In her
submarine warfare have resulted In an
admittedly grave situation. senator
Stone, chairman Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. a man who by virtue
Of his position should. IL anybody. be
qualified TO pass judgment upon the
questions involved, has unreservedly APP
proved OF Germany's net. Nice-Presi-
dent Marshall likewise has expressed the
opinion that Germany in sinking the
Lusltania was within her rights, Other
high officials Of the Administration Oh
the other hand have strongly condemned
mi BE this as IL may.
| firmly believe that. leaving out OF
consideration the jingoes on both sides,
neither the United States nor Germany
desires war. and ] am quite sure that
not only war but even the severance OF
diplomatic relations would be avoided
II only the United States Government
would follow a precedent in history.
At the outbreak of the Japanese-Rus-
sian war the following official order to
all British subjects was issued by the
British Consulate at Shanghai, China:
All subjects o, the Crown are notified
that the British Government will not un-
dertake to be responsible for the safety
OF any British subject leaving this port
on a ship OF either OF the be!l!gerent ma
tions.
Great Brltain's position al that time
was OF course Identical with that of the
United States at present, and ! therefore
cannot understand why this Govern
ment should not adopt the same attitude,
thereby overcoming all the present dim
culties. Why Great a crisis, the con-
sequence OF which nobody can foresee,
where such a simple remedy is avail
able7 c.. l.. ScHLESs.

Clouding the Issue.

A certain confusion Of thought Is
suggested in some Of the comments on
our controversy with Germany and
this has a tendency to cloud the issue.
Such expressions, for instance, as that
"Germany cannot cease her subma-
fine warfare" carry necessarily the
implication that such cessation has
been demanded.
Nothing could be further from the
fact. There has been no demand on
Germany that she cease submarine
warfare. Such a demand would be
preposterous on its face, as prepos-
ferrous as would be a demand that
she cease battleship and dr%eadnought
warfare. All that we demand. and
for the matter Of that very emphat.
ically demand, OF Germany is that
where at least the clear rights OF
Americans as neutrals are involved
her warfare In general on the high
seas shall conform with usages and
rules long established as governing
civilized ~belligerents, and specifically
that 1t conform with Germany's own
treaty engagements with us.
That Is the issue. the sole issue.
It would be raised by a submarine
sinking a defenceless merchant YES
Gel without warning, without pre-
limlnary visit, search and opportunity
for those on board to escape with
their lives, just as 1t would be raised
II a dreadnought. with like disregard
Of covenants, implied and written as
between civilized nations, were to turn
her terrific batteries on a passenger
ship carrying hundreds OF helpless
men, women and children, and then
when the work Of slaughter had been
wrought. steam away in cynical indif-
ference to the havoc.
1t Is against warfare such as this
that our protest has been entered.
The weapon with which that warfare
II conducted Is a matter wholly ir.
relevant and immaterial. 1t is the
deed and not the tool with which the
deed is done with which we are con
cerned, a fact which II oftener borne
in mind in discussion OF the subject
would dispel the fog.
