St. Clair McKelWay.

Yesterday one of the veteran
American editors passed to his rest
after fifty-two years of active jour
nalistic work. The name of ST. Clair
McKelway was widely known in this
country, notwithstanding the fact
that the paper OF which for many
Gears he was the editor was pub
,ished in Brooklyn, under the some
what obscuring influence OF proximity
TO the more famous metropolitan
journals. He made the Eagle almost
as well known as his neighbors on the
west side of the East river. although
il achieved its we'll deserved success
by devotion to local interests. Mr..
Mckeiway was scholarly man, yet
most practical. Both in his personal
and editorial endeavors he was a
iorce for civic righteousness. His
rewards were many, and he won the
confidence and affection OF men. His
half century OF active newspaper
work contributed richly 10 American
journalism oil the best type and the
highest ideals.

ed that Germany will give assurances
that this practice will be continued
and thus in the main meet the Ameri-
can contentious respecting submarine
warfare. but that it is unwilling to
60 on record in a formal note to that
effect. inasmuch as it is apprehensive
of public sentiment at home, which
is strongly favorable to continual
ton of submarine warfare without
stint or limitation. Furthermore it
is understood that the United States
will probably accept oral assurances
from Germany provided they come
from the German foreign Office to
either the American ambassador at
Berlin or the German ambassador in
this city. In the circumstances the
United States is not disposed to bag
gle over formalities so long as it es-
tablishes its proposition that subma-
rines must not attack unarmed YES
sells without warning. The principle
is the thing and not the form i'll
which it is accorded. OF course, the
United States will insist that these
oral assurances are OF the most deh-
mite character, and that they may
be reduced to writing at this end for
record purposes in a manner to per-
nit no future questioning. For this
government is seeking to establish
tenet OF international law protective
OF innocent lives at sea in time OF
war. and it is looking to the future
as we'll as to the occurrences OF the
present situation, and it must have an
unquestionable definition of Ger
many's intentions in the premises.

Pattleships and the Canal.

Three large battleShips OF the
United States Navy passed through
the Panama canal yesterday. This
is matter OF note for us. 1t shows
that the canal is performing one OF
its greatest services so far as our ma
tional defense is concerned. A fleet
may go through In an emergency
we could speedily strengthen our
selves in either the Atlantic or the
Pacific by transfer of our fighting
units on the water.
But, important as that point is, the
matter should not be lett in that
shape. We should be strong on both
oceans at the same time. There
should be fleet for the Atlantic and
another for the Pacific. We have a
long shore line on each ocean. We
have valuable island possessions in
both. We should be fit and watch
ful in both. Until we are. we shall
be i'll danger as the world is at pres
ent constituted. Force in the affairs
OF government was never at such
premium as it is today; and whether
the war lasts six weeks, SIX months
or SIX years longer. at its close force
will still have to be reckoned with
In world relations.
Appropriately enough, as we are
not at war and hope to escape par
~ he
for warships was in carrying naval
cadets on a practice cruise. We are
preparing the young men for COM
1nands later. The canal will mean
more to them in their day OF service
than it now does to their superlors
in commission. They may go through
often, and on errands OF pressing mo-
ment to the country. The hope IS
that never again will it be necessary
for an American fighting ship to re-
peat the performance OF the Oregon
in getting into battle action. Fine
and memorable as that was, 1t would
reflect on our resources if required
now or later.
The canal if properly protected and
administered will perform all the
duties OF either war or peace that
were promised and vowed IN It's
lame. Except for the European con-
;iict, which has overshadowed every
lining else, the completion OF the
piercing of the isthnus would have
stirred the world to enthusiasm and
applause Statesmen, orators, poets,
soldiers, sailors and captains OF IN
dustry would have joined hands IN a
record making celebration.
That event, however, has only been
postponed. 1t will take place after
peace has been restored, and the
world appraises things at their true
value once more Meanwhile we
should all remember that the canal
Is ours, and that we are morally in
bonds to keep it from harm and in
condition for our own as we'll as the
worlds benefit.

An Early Texas Bird.

Dallas wants to entertain the
democratic national convention, and
is willing to put up" for the honor
and pleasure Chairman McCombs is
advised that the necessary money for
defraying the expenses of the meet
ing will be guaranteed.
An excellent and progressive Texas
community. Situated. in state re-
liably democratic When she humps
herself, the Lone Star common
wealth gives a democratic national
ticket almost as large majority as
the Keystone commonwealth does a
republican national ticket. At a
glance an outsider with the returns
in hand might think there were no
republicans in Texas and no demo-
Gratis in Pennsylvania.
The choice of Dallas would, of
course, insure a record vote in the
state for Wilson. The Texans would
try to make it unanimous. One good
turn would deserve, and receive, an
other.
In 1876 and in 1888 the democrats
met in St. Louis, and in 1890 in Kan
sas City. But Missouri, while called
southern, is border state, consid-
cred in the old sectional relation. In
1912 the democrats met in Baltimore.
But Maryland, considered in the old
sectional relation, is border rather
than southern state.
Not since 1860, therefore, have the
democrats held national convention
in strictly southern state and city.
Then they met in Charleston, S. c.,
and had memorably warm time.
If the south should care to press
the matter of recognition and agree
on Dallas, she would have two
grounds OF appeal. She furnishes the
bulk of the electoral strength of the
democratic party, and next year Mr..
Wilson will have a walk-over for the
nomination. In Bangor, Me-, or in
Dallas. Tex; in New York city, or in
San Francisco, his name would spell
the same thing to nominating con-
vention. If he lives he will be his
party's master then, as he now is.
But the south is not likely to take
concerted action about the matter.
ii Dallas wins it will be by virtue of
her own push and enterprise. She is
little off the big road, and on that
account at a disadvantage but it is
a good time for her to tell the poll
ticians and the public generally some
thing about herself; and that will be
worth while whether she gets the
convention or not. Some towns have
won that lost the national conven-
ton for which they had commended,
and some have lost that won. Such
a body is not an unmixed blessing to
the host.

Oral Assurances.

Stress has been laid since the sub
mission of the second German note
on the Lusitania sinking on the fact
that since that occurrence and par
ticularly since the American protest
no attacks have been made upon pas
senger vessels by German subma-
rincs without warning and that COM

The Laborer and His Hire.
avs the New York Tribune !:

says tuC w" 1olh 4iioohN.
"The constitutional convention
seems disposed to put into the new
constitution an increase of salary for
senators and assemblymen, in spite
OF the fact that only few years ago
the voters rejected a somewhat sim
liar increase of pay amendment.
Many members of the convention
have entirely lost sight of the fact
that the new constitution will have
to be approved by the people"
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
and OF good hire. For years men,
bers of Congress drew only FIVE thou
sand dollars a year-a compensation
much below the value of their
services. At last the amount was
raised to seven thousand FIVE hun
bred. The figure should have been
made, and should be today, ten thou
sand. The work is most important,
and those who perform it should be
adequately rewarded.

Our ambassadors and ministers are
so poorly paid our diplomatic service

count. Many men accepting such
commissions have done SO with

lust now skilled workmen in our

and must consider making the proper
provision for the future. Growing

are entitled. Why should not the

ployer and profits so much from good

1t might be a highly profitable
thing for the New York convention
to put the pay of the state legisla-

be noted in the personnel of the two
