National Defenses and the Cost.

The peace advocates who fear that the i'm.
provemcnt OF coast defenses and the increase
Of the navy would invite attack might recall
James g. Blaines reply to the same objection
thirty years ago. when he said that a lock on the
door not considered an invitation to burglar,
but it contributed to the peace of mind and the
peaceful slumbers of the occupants OF the house
Whatever the disposition of the burglar In that
famous interview cabled from Scotland in 1885,
Mr. Blaine answered other objections of those
who feared that preparedness would encourage
militarism and invite objections from foreign pow
ers. He called attention to our old Notifications
and coast defenses built in the early days OF the
government which were effective at the time of
construction. They did not invite attack when
they were effective, and for a nation to have de-
lenses which were not defensive was as foolish as
for a man to depend old rail fence that would
not protect his crops. when there were modern
wire fences in general by his neighbors A
fourteen-nch gun is great Improvement on the
old iron cannon used hundred years ago but
II 1t will not carry as far the guns of super
Dreadnought it is no more effective in coast de-
tense. If we arc not going to keep up with the
times and have guns that will carry far those
that possible enemies may have on their ships, we
might as well level Notifications and melt the
coast defense guns into plowshares.
Mr.. Blaine had another idea that might be
worth considering. In his criticism of the free
trade message OF President Cleveland, he insisted
on tariff that would protect American production
and produce enough revenues for the ordinary ex-
pcnseS OF the government. He would have re-
duced the internal taxation rather than increased
it, and used the collected on whisky and
beer for defensive measures. With such division
of revenues there would be less confusion as to
what was necessary in each class of taxation The
internal revenue laws were enacted as war meas
ure and they now about balance the expenditures
for the army, navy and coast defenses. If Mr.
Blaine's suggestion were carried out and the in.
ternal revenues employed for defense OF the coun-
try, and the customs revenues for the ordinary
expenses of the government, Congress would have
a clear estimate OF revenues for each class of ex-
penditures, and simplifed budget to guide it in
making appropriations. The people who believe
that preparedness for and the tax on liquors
and tobacco are both immoral, could offset the
one against the other and ease their consciences
on the theory that they were fighting the devil
with fire.
The Washington herald., 1915-02-23

Everything in England was bought or sold at
gold price, and money then due from an English
merchant to an American creditor was payable in
gold which was worth more than the paper money
OF the United States. 1t is, however to be re-
membered that because of the low rate of ex-
change the quotations in foreign countries for
American stocks and commodities are proportion
ately higher than the quotations in our own coun-
try AS it stands there is some slight incentive
for the British holder of American securities to
sell them; but such incentive is largely or COM
pletely counterbalanced if money for daily use or
tor any fixed period is worth more in Eng
land or any other foreign country than it is with
us. Also the foreigner is apt to reflect, and does
reflect, that investments in the United States are
safer just now than they arc anywhere in the
world No compulsion can be brought to bear
upon the foreign holder of American securities to
convert these securities into money and ask for
the money to be RENTED to him, as long as he
cannot make any more profitable use of the money
in his country than he can in the United
States.
We look to the present strained situation
in foreign exchange remedied by exactly the same
means as those which practced at the time
of the reversed situation which occurred last sum-
mer, when it was our country that was owing Eu-
rope, instead OF Europe owing u.s. We look to see
the bankers of the two countries come together
and arrange for opening of great foreign
credit in the United States This would be for the
best interests of everybody concerned

GETTING A START.
OBSERVATION.
" BY NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, Jr.

Mary Smith-that isn't her name. but ii
will do-was a Junior stenographer for a
manufacturing concern. Her prescribed
duties We're limited TO taking dictation
and to transcribing the result upon a
typewriter. She had two eyes. and she
used both of them.
The headquarters of the company are
in large office building. There is a mail
chute on every floor. and the mail is col
lected hourly. Most Of the letters OF this
company are dictated in the morning,
and large proportion of them are ready
for mailing by noon. Comparatively few
OF them, however. are mailed until the
close of business.
The company has a large branch house
in Western city. II a letter is mailed
before noon, it catches limited Western
train. and will reach its destination the
next day in time for delivery in the early
afternoon. II it is mailed later. it catches
the train reaching the distant city too
late for its delivery on the following day.
Miss Smith discovered this, and, of her
own volition. saw to 1t that all letters di-
rected to the branch house were mailed
before noon. provided. of course. that
they were ready.
The advantage is too self-evident for
comment.
The president learned what she was do

marked woman in the Office. and. today,
she is at the head of the stenographic de-
partment and assistant Office manager.
drawing a salary of about 5000.
John Smith, and that isn't his name
either-a few years ago was office boy
for wholesaler. He. too, used his eyes.
One day he was obliged to wait in the
postoffice. Instead of gazing into the
street. he poked his head into one of the
Windows which overlooked the mailing
rack. He noticed that letters enclosed in
envelopes of ordinary size were immedi-
ately placed in the pigeonholes. and that
the distributing clerk usually dropped
the larger envelopes onto the mailing
table, because they did not hit into the
pigeonholes and because it was difficult
to tie them up with the ordinary envel-
opes.
John made inquiries and found that not
infrequently the large envelopes missed
the earlier mail, and. therefore. were not
delivered as promptly as were letters en-
closed In envelopes OF ordinary size. He
reported this to his employer.
The incident, insignificant though it
may seem. placed John in the eye Of the
man for whom he worked. Today he is
chief clerk.
Your employer expects you to be on
time, to be faithful. and to do the work
allotted to you. For this service he pays
you the regular market price. He does
not ask you to do more. and 80 per cent
of employees do not co more.
The fellow who uses his brain is always
observant. and he is pretty sure to dis |
cover something which will benefit his |
employer 1t may be little thing. or a |
big one. but 1t lifts him out of the ranks |
and is the beginning of his success.
Doing what you have to do. or what |
you are told to do. means a livelihood. |
Taking the initiative, and doing what you |
are not told to do. or expected to do, |
stand for promotion and a liberal salary. |

More Trouble for Wal,h.

If the Rockefeller Foundation actually intends
TO give the refugees from Belgium now in Holland
productive work. we trust that it will obey the
rules OF the union and pay attention to the socio-
logical outgivings OF Chairman Walsh, of the Fed
eral Commission on Industrial Relations
There 100000 of these people, and 15o 900
of them insufficienty clothed. The Rockefel-
Ter Foundation has an old-fashoned notion that
if some industry may be promoted by benevolence
that will enable good many OF them to become
self-sustaining, there will be great increase of
self-respect and corresponding decrease of hope
less dependency and misery.
An enterprise of this kind may be all right for
Belgium and Holland, but what effect will it have
upon social unrest in the United States? Chair
man Walsh insists that our disQuet increases with
every big benefacton. 1t is to be feared therefore,
that the hideous undertaking in Holland will in
yolve us in trouble at home, if not, abroad-New
