ANOTHER SERIOUS QUESTION ARISES.

Great Britain is said to be very much concerned
over President wilson protest in regard to the
detention of American cargoes by British war
ships There can be no doubt that the situation
created by insstence upon the right OF search Is
as serious AS anything between the Washington
and London governments since President Cleve-
land delivered his message in regard to the Nenezu-
Ian affair.
The present trouble is not wholly due to the
over -zeaousness Of the British naval authorities
While Great Britain actually has injured our trade
by. its acts there are evidences Of disposition
on the part of certain of our shippers to resort 10
sharp practices Copper is contraband OF war
On several occasions British naval Officers nave
found that metal secreted under the cargoes OF
American ships
The questions of what constitutes contraband
of war is a serious one Since the opening OF the
present conflict Great Britain Germany and
France have made official statements on the sub
ect While the Washington government has an
nounced that il is desirous Of preserving It's neu
trality, il has not conceded the right Of the bel
ligerents to define categorcalIy those articles
which are cOntraband of war.
The greatness of nation depends upon its
ability to extend its trade. There can be no doubt
world has been largely responsible for war which
has affected every part Of the globe where cvii-
zation prevails II Great Britain insists il has the
right to stop our ships for an inspection which may
cause grievous delay and disarrangement of cargo,
it may 90 so far that it will drive the most of our
ships from the ocean.

A NEW TRADE FOR THE UNEMPLOYED

It remained for Brooklyn to develop a new
trade for the unemployed men who hesitate to
take Jobs that call for manual labor. The new
trade, while il lasted, was that of playing the
role of fake father at the moving picture
houses
The city has law which prevents children
from visiting the moving picture houses unless
accompanied by one or the other of their parents.
Such law as that did not stop the enthusiastic
patrons Of tender years for an instant, however.
They gathered in groups around the corner and
soon found an unemployed man who was willing
to act. for small consideration made up by pass
ing the hat as the parent Of a group OF them.
OF course the man in the box office could not
leave his post to make an investigation OF the
chidrens parentage and he felt no inclination to
do so any way. His business was to sell tickets
to parents for their children and he was not en-
gagged as a detective.
From that small start the business grew by
leaps and bounds At every moving picture house
one or two fathers" found profitable employ
ment during the afternoons and evenings At one
place fake father took as many as two hundred
Of his pretended offspring into the moving pic
ture show during an afternoon The fact that
they we're of different nationaties and that there
was one negro among the white children did not
deter him from earning living in that way.
But finally the police found it out and now
the business of being father at the moving pic
ture houses has been broken up At the same time
the patronage has fallen off greatly and the chill
dren will have to find some other way TO get
around the law.

THE HUMoR OF MAKING PROPHECIES

Sometimes those who make prophecies become
unconsci0usly humorous, with no intent to do any
thing of the kind. That must be the case with DIR.
Newell Dwight Hills, who has declared that in the
next fifty years the population Of the United States
will reach four hundred millions n
This would not be so bad, but Doctor Hills
goes on to predict that in that time we will be
forced to seize Mexico, Central America and part
of Canada to make room for our spreading and
growing population He points out that Americans
already own large portions Of the territory named.
This is remarkable az an example Of the manner
in which one man can take two sets Of facts of
similar nature and from them draw wholly oppos-
ing conclusions Doctor Hills was once devout
worshiper of all things German He had popular
lecture telling about the greatness and gloriss Of
the Teutons-but don't ask him 10 deliver IL now
Even at the outbreak Of the war he was proGer-
man.
Today he no longer champions the kaiser and
his people, He condemns them and their ambi-
tions very thoroughly Some Of his remarks we're
only echoes OF a sermon which he preached few
weeks ago in Plymouth Tabernacle and which
caused sensation throughout>the whole of New
York
1t was then that Doctor Hills first gave wide
publicity to his idea that the war started because
the people of Germany coveted certain rich iron
deposits in France and he raked the Teutons fore
and aft for retaining what he happily character
lied an tribal idea Of God.
He had few things TO say also about their in.
cnaton, 10 couaider themselves chosen people.

The very future he prophesies with approval for
this nation. he condemned the Germans for striv.
ing to attain

NO CHANGE IN THE TARIFF LAWS.

From source that seems reliable comes the in
formation that there will be no change in the I'm
derwood tariff law during the life of the present
administration AT least there will be no changes
made at the suggestion of President Wilson,
As to what will be done should President Will
son be elected to a second term nothing has been
said. In fact no calculations have been made that
far ahead The president is said to be satisfied
with the tariff law as il now exists and he believes
II az nearly perfect as any tariff measure can be
made at this time. Changes may become necessary
in the future on account of conditions that may
arise but the administration believes that the
present law will work out all right
The contention is made that the European war
nterfered with the test Of the Underwood tariff
law and that had there been no war the law would
have had fair chance to improve conditions This
Is the Democratic view Of it. On the other hand
the Republicans are saying that had il not been
for the war the Underwood law would have
plunged the country into a panic.
From all Of which it is easy 10 arrive at the
conclusion that very few statesmen can foretell
accurately just what the effect Of any tariff law
will be. They make their calculations, based upon
their own best Judgment but very frequently they
miss the mark
AT any rate ii would be a serious mistake for
the Democrats to tinker any more with the tariff
during the present term Of President Wilson II
would virtually be a confession that mistake
had been made and that the administration 3
policy was not in harmony with the economic con.
ditions Of the country. Any step toward protec-
ticn would set the other parties to howling again

safety

ANOTHER PRINTING SCANDAL ooMINaq

Rumors are not always authentic, but there is
the old saying that where there is so much smoke
there must be come fire 1t is to be hoped that
such is not the case, however, in the rumors that
are floating about relative to the printing for the
session Of the legislature that convened today.
According to these stories the printing con-
tract has practically been let, although no bids
have yet been received II is stated that the print
ing will 20 to publisher outside of the city and
that he will farm il out TO his chosen printers In
Oklahoma City 1t is even stated that the price
has already been fixed and that it is high enough
IL these rumors are true it is not step by the
legislature in the direction of economy. 1t is not
even step toward honesty, but might be pointed
to as start in the opposite direction The last
legislature had an experience of that kind that
should be lesson to those who are members pow.
Naturally there is disposition on the part
OF the members to favor their friends, but they
should not let this inclination lead them to doing
something that will not be fair. 1t should be
borne in mind that this administration has the
bare chance of extending the life of the party in
power in this state Also it should be remembered
that the people of the state entitled to honest
treatment
Ii this is TO be wasteful and extrayagant ses-
sion Of the legislature the people Of the state will
soon know it, There will be no possibility of COW
ering up anything that is done, Least Of all, IN
the face of the past there should be no printing
scandal connected with this session.
