Switzerland and Armaments.
Waterbury Republican

One need only look at the map OF
Europe to understand the reason why
switzerland has always seen At to
keep In state of preparedness in the
event of war. Now the raging powers
all around her respect the efficient
Swiss militia who are on the job and
this respect seems to be keeping the
rights of the nation safe from en-
'croachment by the belligerents.
It Is well known to students of his
tory that the Swiss are no slouches
about maintaining the laws of neu-
rality even at great cost to themselves
for to police their little country re-
quires the services of no small army.
They have won great reputation for
Furnishing "offside play on the part
Of belligerent forces and have captur-
ed and disarmed good-sized armies
when they have fed, inadvertently,
across the boundary line and trespast
on Swiss soil.
Perhaps IL all the rest of Europe
should agree to disarmament and
should actually fulfill such an agrees
ment, the Swiss also would throw
away their arms and forget all about
war and military training but it
seems like hopeless proposition TO
undertake and convert the Swiss Of
today to any political creed that
makes no place for armed forces cap
able of enforcing neutrality and OF
defending the national honor. There
are certain places where even n
peace loving man will not go without
being armed or accompanied; the
Swiss know that Europe has never
been a safe place in which to be with
out reliable weapons.

A DastardIy Act.
(Ansonia SentineL)

While 1t Is unfortunately true that
exigencies of war make the use of
nearly all weapons legitimate there
is growing feeling among thinking
men that some of the acts that are
being perpetrated daily by partisans
of one side or the other of the des-
perate belligerents transgress the i'm
its of both humanity and civilization.
The bombardment of undefended towns
by warships, the aerial attacks that
result usually in the loss of non-com-
blatant lives and no military advan-
tages of Importance and the submar-
inc warfare on merchant ships with
out warning. all go beyond the line
drawn in the interests of humanity
by the men Of former times.
And now we have another act at
tempted that belongs in the same cat
egory. This lis the attempted wreck
ing of an arnory in Canada, by dyna-
mite when two hundred men we're
sleeping within. Were the men on
the battlefield and we're they opposed
by other men in arms such an act
might be justifiable under the rules
of war. But there is no war be-
tween the United States and Canada
and it goes against the grain to read
that partisans of Germany have taken
advantage of their position in the
United States to sneak across the bor-
der and attempt such a crime against
civilization as this. Fortunately the
plot failed and the other damage done
by the bomb users was not material
But 1t serves to show to what length
some of the aliens in this country
are willing to go and the discredit
they are liable to bring upon us for
harboring them and allowing them to
organize such plots on our soil. Ger
mans in the United States. who are
make no worse use of our hospitality
than to organize raids upon coun-
try at peace with US. especially when
they involve us in warfare OF a sort
of which the average Black Hand as
IS ssin would be ashamed.

The Nations Voice.
(Brooklyn Standard Union.)

lBrooklyn Standard-U nton.)
Nothing has so forcibly indicated
the widespread determination that
this country shall no longer be un-
prepared in a military way than the
meeting at Carnegie hall. held under
the auspices of the National Security
spoke and in the audience were al
most as many women as members Of
the other sex.
The presence of so many women
means nothing less than that there
is a deep-rooted and steadily grow
ing belief that the United States is
pursuing extremely foolish policy in
trusting too much to the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans as formidable bar
rfers against invasion
When men of the type of DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, Alton B. Parker, ex-
Secretaries of War Stimson and
Dickinson, and ex-Attorney-Genera
Boneparte unite in urging increases
in the army and navy no one can
longer doubt that the country Is
deeply stirred and proposes to force
the issue at the next session of con-
gress.
1t would be absurd to assume that
the Carnegie hall gathering was conf
posed largely of jingoists or citizens
with belligerent ideals. The an-
dience and speakers are for peace,
but also for measures which will
save this country from humiliation
in case trouble comes.

Two Billion Dollar Balance.
Waterbury Democrat.)


Sir George Paish. financial expert
of the London Statist and adviser of
the British government, prophesied
last summer that the United States
would as the war proceeded, become
the financial center of the world. We
have already attained that distinc-
ton. He prophesied then that our
favorable trade balance for the year
would reach a billion dollars. and
that forecast has been closely ap-
proximated. We are prepared, now,
to listen respectfully when he an
nounces that our excess of exports
over imports for the next twelve
months may reach $4,000, 100000.
The greatest favorable balance we
ever had, before the present billion
dollar year. was s666,000,000 in 1908.
A two-billion balance in our favor
would be precisely three times that.
Such a situation would mean that
we could use wo thousand million
dollars a year in buying up American
securities now held abroad, and in
lending money to foreign nations
without in the slightest degree inn
pairing our own domestic credit or
money supply. With a billion dollar
wheat crop in prospect and other
crops doing we'll with the steel in
dustry reviving and the prospect OF
getting ahead to the extent of two
billion dollars a year in our foreign
business, the few business pessimists
left might just as we'll stop croak-
ing.

The Upper Berth.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court that the Pullman
company has the, right tc have an
upper berth made up. whether or not
it has been sold. settles controversy
going back almost to the first sleep
ing-ca The passengers side of the
argument having found expression
in a Wisconsin statute forbidding this
exercise of the company's custom, the
court now pronounces the law ur1-
constitutional As in most cases in !.
volving human rights, the court d.
vides in Its decision, Justices Nc
Kenna and Holmes dissenting.
It is well to have the long-standing
dispute finally adjudicated. But W
should interest the travelling public
which has lost OUT to learn from
the text of the courts opinion that
the controversy in which they 50
lightly engaged involved a grave con-
stitutonal question. Their resistance
of the Pullman rule, or at least tho
statute legalizing it, violated the
company's constitutional rights in
that 1t took property without due
process of law" Like the Moliere
character who was surprised to learn
that he had been talking prose all
his life without knowing 1t, they were
unwittingly engaged in controversy
involving fundamental principles Of
justice.
It is satisfactory to know that JUS
tice is neither denied" nor de
layed," in this anniversary of Magma
Charta, even to the Pullman company
As for the defeated passengers, they
may get around the decision by TAX
ing an upper berth, which both costs
less than a lower and is quite as
comforta Bile and better ventilated.

Don't Talk Religfon-Practice 1t.
(Norwich Record. }

The supreme court Of Arkansas put
q truth familiar to us in refreshing
clearness when it refused to sanction
an appeal for separation between a
man and his wife because they could
not agree about religion. It's judy
ment was that they would have no
trouble in living happily together If
they would practice their religion
more and talk about 1t less. There is
the thing In seven words. It is
lesson for the people who make re-
ligious divisions uncomfortable, or
who talk as If the way to have unity
in religion Is to make 1t out of the
sa me words in the same order. Prac-
.tice religion more talk about itsless-
this is the sovereign precept, The
more people talk about their religion
the less religion the have. and the
less they talk about 1t and use 1t the
more will differences be lifted into

Civic Advertising.
Manchester Herald. }

Willimantic is entertaining thou
sands of visitors in observance OF
"Old School Week" this week. Next
month Rockville will have a 'Chau-
tauaua Week" which will attract
many outsiders. Manchester will
have nothing. Last year our Home
land Day brought about 10000 peo-
pie to town and gave Manchester a
fine advertiser There can be
little question of the civic value of
such large gatherings as these. IL
planned rightly they bring large
sum of money to town. Further
more they serve to introduce to the
place many strangers who. but for
these occasions, would never see 1t.
Lastly they serve a useful purpose
in stimulating civic pride and in
uniting our home people in the de-
sire to advance local interests
L, In our opinion Manchester is far
too modest. While We would not
encourage the habit of Boosting, we
do believe that this place should so
bring it's advantages before outsiders
as to get the credit 1t deserves. There
is no sense in hiding our light un-
der a bushel. For example. it strikes
us that to permit a thrifty. progress
sive place of close to $4,000 inhab-
itants to be classed on maps and In
directories with small places like
Bolton and Marlborough on account
of sentimental objections to the name
of city is false modesty. It is stand
ing in our own light
Il Undoubtedly some people will in
time learn that Manchester is good
place in which to live and do bus
mess; but If they do 1t will be in
spite of our policy of submersion.
What would be think of a merchant
who boarded up his show windows
and refused to advertise, saying that
his goods and prices alone would at
tract trade? But such Is the policy
of this town. We. keep our curtains
drawn and offer no temptations to
outsiders to come to US. Manches-
ter is growing rapidly, but it might
grow even faster If the citizens took
more interest in making known its
advantages. rE f'

OUR NEW SECRETARY OF STATE

AS was expected. President Wilson
did not go outside his official family
in selecting a successor to the late
William jennings Bryan. Instead, he
appointed the man who has held the
office ad interim, Robert Lansing, and
chance of disruption in the cabinet.
Robert Lansing, who before taking
up the reins of office where Mr.. BrN-
an threw them down. was counsellor
of the state department and; as such.
in touch with all the minute details
of present day situations. Even while
Mr. Bryan was secretary of state, Mir.
Lansing sat in at cabinet meetings.
He had done this on several occasion,
especially when his chief was away
on Chatauqua gatherings. AT those
times Mr.. Lansing sat at the right
hand side of President Wilson, the
place usually occupied by the secre-
tary of state. In this way he came to
be looked upon as as adopted member
VI tHe cabinet Dy the olHeF 'iIlSIH DeTS.
Now that Mr. Lansing has been Of
fcially handed the portfolio of Sec,
rotary Of state, he will have chance
to show his real powers. He is not
lacking in knowledge of diplomatic
affairs, for he was brought up on
such things having for tutor his
al in 1a1N Tnh Nats
ter, who was secretary of state in
President Harrisons administration.
Although lifelong democratic,
Robert Lansing has no political back
ing in the sense of that term. He was
practically unknown until the Wilson
administration. It was not until John
Bassett Moore resigned from the state
department and Mr.. Lansing took his
place that he wedged his way into
national prominence. But there were
those who knew of his work in >the
diplomatic service. A close studen,
of International law. he has come into
contact with both republican and
democratic leaders, and in this way
has built up friendship in both par
ties For that reason he will be as
welcomed by one political gathering
as another
Under Secretary, of State Lansing
the administration is expected to
shake off the old "grape-juice" poll
cy, and, in $its@ place inaugurate one
that carries with it mores, decided
m easures when acting ir information
to watch how Secretary Lansing
handles the Mexican problem.
