House. With the nomination at his
disposal he could not resist the temp
tation to take it for himself. He
would nominate himself as sure as
shooting.
(2) No republican big enough for
President would accept the nomina-
ton at Mr.. Roosevelt's hands. The
fate of Mr.. Taft would warn and
restrain him. He would understand
that if elected he would have to take
his policies from his sponsor, or be-
come the object of his sponsors per-
secution. Anything resembling indie
pendence on his part, whereby he
would essay to be his own man in
Office, would provoke Mr.. Roosevelt
to an attack.
If reduced to a choice between Mr..
Roosevelt and a satellite, the repub-
licans would probably take, and do
we'll to take, the master. The man
would be a risk as a candidate, and
an even greater risk as an official.
But it is quite uncomfortable from
any other standpoint than that of
Mr.. Clark, who wants the thing done.
that the republicans next year will
deliver themselves thus into the
hands of their enemies.

Air Raids and Reprisals.

Immediately following the sixth
Zeppelin raid on London, which
caused the death of S. and the
wounding of ia persons, mass
meeting of citizens was held at which
resolutions were adopted calling upon
the government to institute reprisals
against Germany. In the course of
these six raids, starting with the 18th
of June, German Zeppelins have
taken III lives in London and wound
ed 3I3, total of 4s4 casualties. al
and many of them women and chill
dren. 1t is not surprising that an eff
fort IS making to bring about coun-
ter activities. Yet a policy OF re-
prisal. is not only difficult, but dam
gerous. 1t cannot be doubted that
in the matter of air raiding the Ger
mans, with their superior equipment
of large dirigibles, have an advantage
over the English, who have only
heavier-than-air machines, which are
not capable of as long flights and
which cannot carry as heavy loads of
explosives as the Zeppelins.
From a military point of view the
raiding of London is of doubtful
value. If the Germans could destroy
or seriously injure the British ar
Sena1 at Woo1wirh aUainSt which IL
appears the latest raid was directed,
they might gain a return for their
effort commensurate with the disad-
vantage of the stimulus to recruiting
which every Zeppelin raid causes in
Great Britain. In this respect there
would be no compensatory reaction
in Germany in case of retaliatory
raid, inasmuch as Germany is already
on a basis of virtual CONSUMPTION and
can summon to the colors every avail
able man.
A policy of reprisal, however moral
ly justified, would simply add to the
horrors of this war, already SO ap-
pa1ling. More women and children
would be killed, and more non-com-
batants manned and sacrificed with
out any direct military result. 1t is
question whether there is sufficient
ground even in the bombing of Lon
don for an extension of this warfare
of frightfulness by Great Britain.

The Estimates.

The estimates for the support OF
the government for the next tlscai
wear are large. They make a rec
ord. But we have to consider sit
uation. not of our own creation, nor
created expressly for US, but grow
ing out of a commotion affect
ing all the world. We are called
upon to pay money penalty for our
place among the nations-for being
alive and fourishing. And, large as
the amount is, we should arrange for
it without hesitation or pickering.
The demand for the money comes
from two sources-the usual. and the
unusual As to the usual source, it
may be said that the amount would
have been large if no war had broken
out. Our development has been re-
markable. The governmental affairs
of a hundred million people cannot
be conducted on a skinny scale. In
self-defense, as it were, we must pro-
vide well for an establishment which
covers much, and touches in some
measure the comfort and welfare OF
all. Every department Of the gov
eminent has claim to liberal sup
port at the hands of Congress.
The unusual source relates, of
course, to the war The European
horror has shown us what we must
do to escape a similar experience.
Our fighting machine has been
brought into light which makes it
look insignificant, if not contempti-
bic. 1t must be enlarged and
strengthened in the interest of the
national safety. Army and navy ex-
perts have at last secured hearing;
and politicians, educators, churchmen,
professional men and business men
in numbers are warmly advocating
an adequate national defense. If the
amount is large it is to be remem-
bered that the neglect has beer long.
Had we made, as we should have
done, the proper appropriations in
years past we should not today be
confronted with q bill which is Civ
ing the millennialists the text for
their discourses.
The democracy may expect some
INVITING on the position it is in. 1t
secured power on the strength of
some very absurd statements about
republican extravaganza, and some
equally absurd promises of economy.
As the extravaganza described did
not exist, the economy promised
could not be practiced. Hence, in
Office, the democracy has been
obliged to pile the figures high.
Better continue to pile them high
within reason, of course-than reduce
them as political play for votes
next year. The people know the diff
ference between economy and cheese
pairing, and would resent the latter
at the polls.

The Band Testimonial.

Tomorrow afternoon a testimonial
will be rendered to the military
bands that for several seasons have
been entertaining the people of this
city with music in the public parks.
An interesting program of entertain
ments and contests has been ar
ranged, to be given at the Brightwood
reservoir, and if the weather is fair
large crowd will doubtless gather
to express public appreciation for
the pleasure that has been given to
Washington by Uncle Sans mu-
sicians. The incidental cost of this
testimonial is small compared with
the benefits that the public has re-
ceived from the park concerts, and
there should be no question of COM
plete subscription of funds before the
beginning Of the first events on the
program. A few pennies given by
each of the regular attendants at the
almost daily concerts that Washing
ton has enjoyed during the warm sea-
son for years would fill the passing
hat to OVERLOOKING and enable the
committee of public-spirited citizens
in charge of this event to meet all
their obligations without heavy per-
sonal sacrifice. The success of this
testimonial is to be measured largely
by the degree in which those who
have had the benefit of the bands
performances express their thanks in
terms of small money contributions
to defray the necessary expenses.

ing bitterness. 1t is seemingly I'M
possible to keep the process within
the bounds of harmless good-nature.
Pranking that does no injury is not
Objectionable, but the annual vista
ton upon an entire class of humiliat-
ing and sometimes injuring indigni-
ties is obnoxious to every require
ment of fair play.
The virtually avowed purpose OF
hazing is to make the underclassman
feel his inferiority, his subordination
to the upper -classmen. Usually haz-
ing is practieed by the sophomores,
eager for an immediate revenge upon
fresh victims for sufferings previously
endured at the hands of previous
sophomores. Thus a vicious circle of
retaliation is established.
At Annapolis the problem has been
the more difficult because of the fact
that the graduates of the academy
are destined to serve together in
later years, and it is impossible for
the victim of hazing attack not to
feel resentful against individuals who
have taken part in his humiliation or
physical injury. This initiates
against a true corps spirit and can
not fail to weaken naval efficiency in
the long run.
The cadets are now on their honor
to abstain from these practices. They
may be expected to maintain their
new standard of conduct

Clark Picks Roosevelt.

Speaking of next years republican
campaign, Champ Clark said at Dem
yer: Il think Theodore Roosevelt will
at least have the power to name the
nominee"
Mr.. Clark has always admired Mr.
Roosevelt. and often complimented
him in public speech. He regards him
as being not only a thorough Ameri-
can. but a man highly qualified for
public station. He does not. of course.
agree with him on cardinal political
principles. Out of his high apprecia-
ton may grow in part this express
sion of opinion touching Mr.. Roose-
velt's influence with the party which
three years ago he deserted and de-
feated.
But we must not leave out of ac-
count the fact that, as very clever
politician. Mr.. Clark is expressing a
thought of which his wish is father.
1t would be nuts" for the democrats
to have Mr.. Roosevelt dominate the
next republican national convention.
For if he possessed the power to
name the candidate he could also
write the platform; and, after he was
through, there would be little in
either candidate or platform to at
tract old-fashioned republicans. Mr..
Wilson would defeat the Roosevelt
nominee more signally than he did
Mr.. Roosevelt himself three years
ago.
Roosevelt control of the republi-
can convention would mean the con-
troller's own candidacy. For two
reasons: (D He is extremely eager

tually be his third-in the White
