The Project to BUY Belgium"

Out of the kindness of his heart
John Wanamaker. presiding at a
meeting in Philadelphia to organize a
branch of the National Security
League, suggested that the American
people should loan the United States
government $Ioo,ooo, 100000, if that
amount were necessary, to buy the
freedom of Belgium and turn that
country over to its people. There
can be no question of the American
sentiment for the Belgians. 1t has
been manifested in many and prac-
teal ways since the outbreak of the
war. 1t has taken the form of relief
donations of several million dollars
in money and goods. Indeed, had it
not been for the American aid
promptly and generously given doubt
less great numbers of Belgians would
have starved or persisted from expo
sure.
But Mr.. Wanamaker's scheme for
the purchase of Belgian independence
is not to be considered as in any
sense practical. In the first place. if
Germany wins this war and takes
Belgium as her prize, probably even
so vast sum as 100000 oooo 600 would
not buy it. 1t would, indeed, be
without price. Germany wants Bel
GUM for political and strategic rea-
sons, and will unquestionably hold
to it tenaeiously through the conflict
and through the negotiations that
make for final peace. On the other
hand, if Germany loses this war and
is compelled either to evacuate Bel
GUM before the peace truce or to
surrender it under terms of the con-
GLIDING treaty of settlement it will
go back to the Belgians, not only
without purchase price, but with a
heavy indemnity to be paid by Ger
many for its spoiiation. '

all he desired. he accepted all he
could get.
He took 4 prominent part in the
defeat of the Administrators ship
purchase bill, and will renew his OPP
position at the coming session of
Congress if the administration re-
news its proposition. He is very
much in favor of an American mer-
chant marine. but not on lines of
state socialism. His is the attitude
of business bodies throughout the
country.
Mr.. Weeks was educated at An
napolis, and consequently speaks
with considerable knowledge on the
subject of an adequate national de-
tense. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that he favors such an increase in
our army and navy establishments
as will put US abreast of the times,
and in condition to do our full duty
by ourselves in an emergency.
This is the man who at ffty-hve is
proposed by his friends for the presi-
dency. He is Yankee born-in New
Hampshire-and Yankee reared; has
seen something of the sea and much
of the land; has succeeded in both
business and politics; is personally
popular, and on excellent terms with
both republicans and bull moosers.

Mr.. Weeks and His Room.

The Weeks boom is taking shape,
and the boomers seem to be operat-
ing with the knowledge and consent
of the boomee. Both politicians and
business men are watching the de-
velopments with interest.
Mr.. Weeks is not put forward as
simply a favorite son. He is that all
right. His home people are for him,
, and hi, colleague, Mr.. Lodge, is said
to have assured him of support. If
the senior senator from Massaehu-
sets should present the name of the
junior senator to the republican ma
tional convention, most respectful at
tention would be given. Mr.. Lodge as
an orator has appeared to advantage
and to the advantage of his friends
at such meetings.
But the other New England states,
1t is suggested. will join Massachu-
sets in Mr.. Weeks behalf. He will
thus become the New England can
didate. and As such start we'll in the
conventions polling.
Mr.. Weeks is recomme nded as a
business man, and his recent record
IN the Senate is cited to show hi,
claims to support in business circles.
He opposed the Underwood revision
Of the tariff. on the ground that the
measure would be prejudieial to busi-
ness. The event has justified his op-
position. .t
He supported the new currency
measure. not because he approved OF
il altogether. but because he eonsid-
cred it as, upon the whole. an In.

Boys in Strike Riots.

Photographs have appeared show
ing the riotins in Bayonne, N. J.,
which has marked the strike of the
Standard Oil Company workers, and
in all Of them appear boys in kniek-
erboekers. in some instances actually
engaged in throwing stones and
otherwise participating in the trou-
Bile. These children are presumably
not strikers, but are merely drawn
into the n1obs by excitement. If they
should be wounded or killed in the
course of the fighting great outcry
will arise against the police or militia
for shooting children. As matter of
fact the children have put themselves
in position of danger. They have
no business in the crowds at such
times. Some of them probably fol-
lowed their fathers or elder brothers.
They are feroeious partisans in such
a situation. and take chances that
older people. even under the excite
ment of = mob attack, avoid. This is
one OF the constant dangers of strike
disorders and an element that must
always be taken into account by
those who precipitate situation of
this kind. Those who start the riot
ing-those, in fact. who start the
strike that causes the rioting-are re-
sponsible for the death of children
when. as so often happens, boys are
killed in the course of the restoration
of order.

The Military Service and Invention.

Announcement is made that the
War Department intends to acquire
the exclusive rights to wireless con-
trolled torpedo invented by John
Hays Hammond, jr., which has been
demonstrated to possess remarkable
capacity for dirigibility. This is a
gratifying indication of policy on
the part of the American military
service to recognize and encourage
home genius. There have been manv
cases of American inventions that
have gone begging here and have
finally found recognition abroad. One
of the first thoughts of the public
in connection with the establishment
of a naval test board composed of
the most eminent men of science in
this country was that this organiza-
ton would insure the adoption of
meritorious discoveries and devices
more promptly and fully than here
tofore. 1t cannot be denied that the
civilian inventor is not as rule kind
ly regarded by the technical officers
of the army and navy. Much red
tape must be unwound before he gets
a full chance to demonstrate, and
then he often runs up against the
wall of not altogether unnatural
prejudice against the untechnical ex-
perimenter. The American military
service should have the benefit of
every invention made by American
citizens and should be eagerly in the
market for everything that promises
to be of value, even if much is ac-
quired that later proves worthless.

used one belonging to friend. On
the surface, therefore, Becker's pay
was in proportion to his habits. But
it was disclosed by the evidence that
Becker was in truth a comparatively
wealthy man. He had bank deposits
amounting to over $4,000 at the time
Rosenthal was killed. His bank
books showed that from November
9, 1911, to June II, 1912, less than a
month before the murder, he depos-
tied, in sums ranging from $500 to
$1,000, no less than $4,000. His po-
lice salary in that period was just
$14o6.25. just where the extra $751;
2o3.75 came from has not been ex-
planned. And until the condemned
former policeman tells there will re-
main suspicion amounting to con-
viction that it went into his bank
account almost directly from the
hands of the men who were breaking
the law in New York city and who
were willing to pay literally for per-
to do so.

Candidate and Party.

Some of the admirers of Mr.. Wilson
believe he is very much stronger than
his party, and give that as an addi-
tional reason why he will be renomi-
mated. His strength. they figure, will
pull the party through. granting that
it will need all possible assistance
next year.
The personal compliment is high,
but something else is to be consid-
cred. A President works by and
through his party. However strong
he may be. he cannot set UP one
man rule. If his party is weak his
administration necessarily will fail.
Nothing contributed so much to
Mr.. Cleveland's success at Chicago
I'M 1892 as this same claim for him.
1t was asserted and insisted upon
that he was much stronger than his
party: that his nomination would
mean his election, and that through
his election the country would get
the full benefit of his power.
Mr.. Cleveland was nominated, and
at the polls pulled his party through.
But his administration failed disas-
trously for him and for the country.
He quilted Office in revolt against the
new leadership and policies of his
party. and the country as the result
of his election wallowed in hard
times and misfortune during the
whole of the four years.
No sooner had he taken charge
than the weakness\o of his party ap-
peared, and his weakness with it. At
the Extra session of Congress, called
in a few months to deal with the
financial question, Mr.. Cleveland had
to turn to the republicans under the
leadership of John Sherman for the
support necessary to enact into law
the measure he favored, while at the
regular session which followed, hav-
ing then to fight both the republicans
and faction of his own party, he
was beaten. His party split on both
the silver question aud the tariff. and
both he and it left Office together
when the time came completely dis
credited.
In the light of this experience
comparatively recent-the country
next year in making its decision at
the polls will consider more than Mr..
Wilson's personal strength. even rat
ing that at the figure claimed by his
friends. He must have a party to
work with and through, and it must
be felt that his party is at one with
him in the new policies which eondi-
tons both at home and abroad will
force upon attention.
In other words, when next years
campaign opens Mr.. Wilson's per-
sonality, whatever it may be at that
time, will not be permitted to over
shadow in the discussions on the
stump or in the press the character
of his party and what it then stands
for by the record and not by plat
form promises and professions.

Becker's Bank Account.

Former Police Lieut.. Becker's long
appeal to Gov. Whitman for elemen-
cy and his appended statement of
his connections with the murdered
Rosenthal, covering many pages, was
singuiarly silent upon one point
which was perhaps the most dam
aging item in the accusation against
him that he had a corrupt relation
ship with the gamblers whom he was
officially supposed to be checking.
Beeker's salary as q police officer was
$3.50 . month. That would ordi-
nsrily be just about enough to keep

All the world seems very fair,
And brisk exhilaration
Seems to thrill the summer air;
And it's just bit annoying
To discover on your way
That some folks are not enjoying
Your especial holiday.

And the porter's in . trance;

From the worker warm and grim.
