When to Get Mad. (M eriden Recordl

Let the president of the United States tell Us when it is time to get mad, : says Titmouse Tom Marsh all, which is mighty good advice if there is sufficiently strong background to cause the epigram to stand out in sharp relief.
 Tn other words, the fellow who knows how to don the gloves and de- liver the punch is not so often com pelled to get into the squared circle as the man whose muscles are flab- bly, and who is conscious of his weak ness. ~s
 It is soon enough for the public to get mad, when the president has given the word. To econornize in ener- gy is good policy but good way to attain this poise is to be prepared go that If one has no alternative but to get mad there will be something to back up the madness.

having been refused them the only course left open for the United States is to emphatically announce that it intends to exercise its rights under the rules of international law. This will. in all proba bility, mean a break be- tween the debating countries.
 When the Cabinet first discussed the sinking of the Lusitania it was under stood that if Germany did not make sreparation for it's wanton destruction of American lives this government would be Justified in severing diplo- matic relations Germany has com pletely evaded liability for loss of these American lives. Instead of en- tering into that question she places the blame for her submarine warfare upon the shoulders of Great Britain. all of which is irrevelant to the case. At best, the note is disappointing. 1t leaves little on whichsnegotiations can be prolonged This is to be regretted, because the United States and Ger many have all along been good friends and it is unfortunate if this friendship must cease.

American Spirit. (Meriden Journal.) )

Calling it Americanization Day, a good many cities this year held re- ceptions July 4 to newly naturalized citizens and addresses were given to aliens and our own people on the value and meaning of American citi- Zenship
 This is good work. One can we'll wish that the aliens were not the cnly ones who need better understand ing of American ideals. Tn good many cases, the foreign CTS just arriv- cd at our shores appreciate American blessings of freedom better than do the native born.
 To a man who has been taxed out e all justice and reason by an aristo- cratic government, who has not been permitted to express political opinions above a whisper. American liberty means something. If he has had edu- ca ton. or if he possesses native com mon sense, he will realize that this freedom is possible only where every citizen obeys the laws and does not abuse his privileges. Meanwhile there are hosts of the old stock who con sider that the only use of law is to hold down the stupid people who are not smart enough to dodge it's re- qpirements, or to hire smart lawyers to do it for them,

Becker's Case. (RronkIvn Ea rio

Becker is on the brink of the grave. He is described as desperate. His lawyer says of him that if die he must, he does not want to die ana leave on earth set of men who might use others as he has been used. Or these men six in number one is dead. The other five are said to be shaking Tn their shoes" Becker alleges or is declared to have alleged, that they took part of the cash he extorted from evfldoers. His lawyer alleges that the governor has been told who they are. He thinks that in the interests or justice his client should be per. mltted to live.
 1t is not necessary for the governor to explain why he does not feel called upon to interfere. He is con- sulting the very interests of jus- uce' alluded to by MT. Manton. Becs ker may be telling nothing but the truth when he says he divided his ni-gotten gains. but of his associates it may be at least be said that they are not murderers. For anything that IS Known to the contrary, they were satisfied with graf
 Becker's solicitude so called, for those who may be used as he has been used is not worth discussing. How Rosenth al was used he knows. How the evildocrs with whom he had deal fngs were used by him he knows How murder was compelled and by whom, he knows as well as he knows what happened to four murderers. And if he has not unlearned almost every thing worth remembering, he knows that the pursuit of graft has become precarious. Also. that murders such as he compelled have gone out of fashion.
 There is a sense in which he served the community. There is sense in which his companions in crime did likewise. They did much to dissolve : the partnerships between members of the force and gamblers and white slavers Indeed. it may be said of them that they did more than could have been accomplished by a host Of reformers. Unwittingly, they made a generous contribution to the reha- bitation of the department of police 5 One thing remains. The contribution is not complete The lesson" is not finished But the tragedy is hurrying to it's closing climax, and there is to be no such travesty on justice as i> sought by MT Manton. The instru- ments have gone to their account The principal survives. Degree or degrees of guilt need not be measured. but that there should be the extreme pen atty for the instrumnts and clemency for the principal is not thinkable.

Our Flag on the Seas.
(New York Herald.

An extra session of congress is dis liked by the people unless it is called for a special and pressing purpose.
 The shipping interests of the coun- try declare that if the La Toilette sea mems law becomes effective it will drive the American flag from the seas and are asking the president to as- semble congress and wipe it off the statute book before the date fixed for it's perstion--November 4.
 Directors of the Maritime associa- tion, which includes nearly thousand representatives of the domestic and foreign lines touching this port, after thorough study of the effects of the La Toilette act. have adopted resolu- tions characterizing it as "ruinous' and declaring that the situation is so critical as to justify the president in calling an extra session to repeal it.
 San Francisco is stirred by the news that the Pacific Mail Steamship com pany will stop it's transpacific service that the Dollar line will change from American to British registry and Pa cfic steamship companies intend to haul down the American flag. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce calls for repeal of the La Toilette law and all discriminating acts" and re- quests President Wilson to appoint commission of experts to draft laws that will build up merchant ma rine.
 The commercial organizations not only of the Atlantic sea board and the Pacific coast. but of the whole coun- try, are aroused by the threatened banishment of our flag from the seas and are determined to press for an extra session to repeal the nischfevous law and avert the threatened, disaster.

Coast Defense.

 Thirty years ago Samuel J. TiIden, the most astuJe public man of hls time. addressed a letter to Speaker Carlisle on the subject of national de- fense What the great American said then is many times more true now. Here are his words:
 The property exposed to destruc- tion in the twelve seaports, Portland Portsmouth, Boston. Newport, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chari- eston, Savannah, New Orleans. Gal weston and San Francisco, cannot De less in value than five thousand mll- lions of dollars. To this must be ad- Ged vast amount of property depen' Gent for its use on these seaports.
 'The best guarantee against aggres- sion. the best assurance that our dlp- lomacy will be successful and paci- fic. and that our rights and honor will be respected by other nations, is in their Knowledge that we are in q situation to vindicate our reputation and interests
 While we may afford to be deficient in the means of offence, we cannot afford to be defenceless. The notor- iety of the fact that we have neglected the ordinary precautions of defence invites want of consideration in our diplomacy, injustice, arrogance and insult at the hands of foreign nations

English as She is Spoke. (LOndon Chronicle

The professor who in his address on the correct pronunciation of Eng fish said he preferred "of'n" to often" is in on the winning side. No "pronouncing dictionary with a reputation to lose ever sounds the "t'' in the middle of such words as Christmas, mistletoe, ostier. often or chestnut. Good actors, whose duty it is to speak "trippingly on the tongue can cite authority to sup port their pronunciation of han'ker- chief and 'nsday. And no one who knows his way about in the elocutionary field pays any regard to the spelling of such words as "ex- traordinary."

Merchandising National Guard.
 lChicago Tribune.

There should be no militia pay bill
 enacted unless the national guard be-
 comes national in fact as we'll as in name. The federal government should
 not be expected to keep up a force that is not fully within it's control
 On the other hand, if we are to have a "citizenry trained and accus- toned to arms,' and are to cling to the volunteer principle, we ought not to rely upon public spirit or military tastes altogether. We ought to make service less a private sacrifice ana more privilege.
 The standardization of the national guard is said to be one of the sup +Jects considered by the war college Tn the preparation, at secretary IaT- rlson's instance, of program @ol- coI coIi- structive defense legislation. Lieut.. Col. Davis of the I. N G. ana some other guard officers have been actlVe in furthering this change, when we believe would vitalize the organized militia. increase it's numbers and morale. and bring it nearer 8 de- pendable professional standard of eff ficiency than can be hoped for with out some radical change of it's present status. The national guard, that is. the organized militia, is technically a part of our first line of land defense. It is not fit as a whole for that posi- tion and cannot be under existing con- ditions. If, however, it is more close ly co-ordinated with the regular army and is treated as in the nature of a first reserve, it's value will be substan@ .tial.
 One of the highly desirable results of this change would be the relief of the guard from strike duty The states, no longer responsible for the national guard, could maintain con- stabulary or other force of their own, trained for such work, while service. in the guard then would be attractive to young trade unionists who are wil1- ing to serve their country and would enjoy military exercise1if they were not afraid of being used in industrial disputes. Strike duty is not properly but police duty and the guard should be a military organization pure and simple.
 , It is to be hoped this change can be formulated by the staff and necessary legislation passed at the next session of congress.

Is Dope Happiness?
(waterbury Democrat )

One Dr. Arthur l.. Blunt of Chicago was charged with aiding drug users in violating the Harrison anti-narcotic law. His attorneys seeking a writ of of habeas corpus, argued before Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landin of the United States court that the Harrison law is unconstitutional in that it de- ries to drug users the pursuit of hap piness. This opens an interesting field ct speculation. Is hitting the pipe really the pursuit of happiness guar arteed to all American citizens under their constitution >After they have hit it do they get happiness Is not to the same argument If you think it will make you happy to kill your neighbor, doesn't the constitution guarantee you the right to pursue your
 joy? Haven't you the right. by the same august document, to drown your sorrows in drink, to burn your own house or your neighbours in order to roast your pig. to steal. riot and make nuisance of yourself generally, If thereby you think you can attain your he arts desire What is happiness
 anyhow? Is it the mere sensual pleasure of the moment, followed. as all such pleasures are, by more than proportionate pain? Or IS 1t the satis- faction which comes to a self-reliant but self controlled being, doing his work in freedom and tempering his own rights to his neighbors' comfort? The pursuit of happiness is our right. But what is happiness? Judge Landis denied the writ, and Dr. Blunt 1 was at last accounts pursuing his in Jail.

German Base on Maine Coast.
(Portland Press.

(Portland PresS.)
 The New York Times has. learned from it's Washington correspondent mat the authorities at Washington nave been notified that Germany has secured a submarine base somewhere on the Maine coast and is preparing 10 utilize it to attack steamships la- zen With munitions of war which may sall From New York or Boston, While II IS not at all probable that such q oase has been secured on any island or the coast of this state the plan is 2 feasible one and might be carried out, The cruising radius of the Ger man submarines has been extendeo m the recently craft so that they are now able to carry enough fuel to make voyage or 4,oo0 miles without replenishirg tnelr supplies. A few weeks ago one or the submarines of this type IS re- ported to have made a voyage rom naval base in the North sea to the Dardanelles, distance of nearly 4,ooo miles. and to have been able, after her arrival there, to torpedo several battleships of the allies and force the remained to seek refuge in well protected harbor. The steamships bound for English and French ports sail much nearer the Main coast when leaving New York than is generally supposed. and a powerful submarine boat, Eff it had some place where It could obtain supplies, could easily irl- tercept some of these ships and take them wholly unawares in the early stage of their voyage across the At lantic
 But Sit is inconceivable that such base scould be established anywhere along this coast at this time of year without discovery. There is not mile of Maine's sea coast in the sum- mer time that is not patrolled by the boats of fishermen and summer y1si- tors Even the most isolated islands are visited many times during the va cation season by people with nothing else to do but pry into out or the way places, seeking the novel and ln- teresting things which are likely to be found. Every craft which ap- breaches the coast during the daytime is under observation by these curious people, and if submarine undertook to reach such base at night, she would likewise run a very gooo chance of being discovered. Now that it is intimated that the Germans may have established such a base on tnis coast there will be thousands of sum- mer visitors constantly looking for it and its discovery, if it existed would be only matter of short time. The story is a very interesting one, but will be regarded with about as much credence as were the tales of German wireless stations which were said to be secreted in the Maine woods in the early stages of the war.
