friend. He knew how to do the
things that couldn't wait. A man in
a suit of soaked underclothes wasn't
required to prepare a countersigned
receipt before he could get swig
of brandy and pair of pants. He
got what he most needed without
delay. Everybody was cared for,
messages were dispatched, money
provided-and Wesley Frost will
straighten out the red tape when he
gets around to it. He had the COM
mon sense to break a lot of rules
that ought to have been broken in
such conditions; and for it he should
be removed-to better job.
Young Mr.. Frost is a credit to the

organization of that service under

true that republics are incapable of

Tricks Played by War
On american Industry
Export Trade Shows Remarkable Paradox of Com
merce-Copper Exports Slump, While Cotton
Market Receivers From Panic-But-
tons Are in Demand.
By JUDSON C. WELLIVER.

South was in a panic, and our foreign
trade balance was ruined because cotton
was not salable at any price.
See now how suddenly normal condi-
tions have been restored, or nearly nor
NAL. In March of this year we shipped
against $43,000,00 in the Same month
a year earlier. In the nine months Of
war we have sent away 3,500.0OO.0 600
pounds. against 100000 pounds In the
same period year earlier True, the
price has been lower but even II there
had been no war at all the price would
have been much lower, because the 1914
crop was far away the biggest ever
raised.
AS it is. we have sold s297. 90. 900
worth of cotton in the nine months.
against $542,00O,O00 in the same period
a year earlier. The rounded-up crop
year. at present rates OF sales. will see
the war year pretty close on the heels
of the peaoe year as to value of cotton
sold abroad and comfortably ahead in
quantity. The most wonderful single COM
mercial incident of the war is the panic
and the recovery of the cotton market.
Perhaps gold should be excepted, how
ever. When the war started we were
shipping gold abroad, and scared about
it. There were plenty of people who
knew that Europe would unload all its
American securities on us and get all
our gold. The exports of gold on that
movement piled UP in a little while a
total of $71 ,000,0 900. Then the tide turn
ed, and since then we have imported
over sl41 900. 900 gold. leaving us over
s7o,000,oO0 net ahead on the exchange
while all Europe is now owing us bal
ances that we are entitled to look for in
gold some day, but that Europe chooses
to pay In loans and securities.

CONSUL WESLEY FROST

There is one young man in the
consular service of this country who
ought to have promotion just as
soon as it can be given to him with
out taking him away from a post
that he fills with special credit. He
is Wesley Frost, consul at Queens
town, Ireland. Frost came up
through the civil service; stenog-
rapher in the Navy Department, the
Department of Commerce, and a
long service in the State Depart
ment. He worked his way to degrees
in both Oberlin and George Wash
ington University, and broke into
the consular service under the civil
service merit system, under which
he is a fine demonstration that Gov
ernment service doesn't atrophy the
faculties of men.

THERE AMT NO HYPHENr'

Supreme Court Justice Whitaker
in New York, was called upon to de-
eide whether a movie play should be
allowed to be produced. 1t had been
ordered discontinued by the license
bureau, on the ground that it was
offensive to Germans and German
Americans. 1t represented an imag-
mary episode of the Franco German
war Of 1870, presenting the Ger
mans as guilty of cruelty toward
civilians.
The license bureau thought it un-
desirable to let a play of the kind
harrow up the feelings of German
Americans. Judge Whitaker, on a
hearing, enjoined the bureau from
interfering with the production, and
in issuing his order declared that
the courts knew nothing of any
groups Of hyphenated Americans,
"The term American" said the
court, includes all classes of citi-
zens, native or naturalized, ire
spective of where they originally
came from, whether it be Germany
or any other country. The court
cannot give judicial sanction to the
grouping Of American citizens in
different classes. What has
lately become known as hyphenated
citizenship has no color or stand
ing."
The effect Of which decision is a
judicial reminder that this is the
United States of America, with ac-
cent on America, and that Ameri-
cans are Americans without hy-
phens Of which the law can take
cognizance. Some sense.
The Washington times., 1915-05-27

an uncommon one, to inquire wheth-
er these gentlemen, in their anxiety
to make duties as low as possible,
had this joker inserted in the meas
ure with the specific intent to effect
the very reduction of duties that is
now commanded by the customs
court. 1t need not be assumed that
this is an unduly severe arraign-
ment of the Administration for in
sincerity. There is no occasion for
indignant denials of any such mo-
tive. 1t would have been a very
"slick" proceeding, in the view Of
gentlemen who wanted to get some-
thing into the law to make it's rates
lower than they seemed to be. But
it would not have been the only
"slick" piece of business that this
Administration has avowed. There
is the authority of no less person
than the President himself that the
new Interstate Trade Commission
has the authority and power to do
service as a tariff commission, and
that it will be set at the exercise
of such functions. Nobody thought
of any such purpose when the leg
islation was pending; nobody was
invited to help perfect the mechan-
ism so that, if the trades commits
sion was to be tariff commission,
it could be the right sort of one.
There was a feeling that most DEM
ocrats and many Republicans would
revolt against creating a tariff COM
mission; so the thing was jimmied
into the law, and then Dragged about
after it had got in.
Is it beyond bounds to suggest,
right in line with these facts, that
maybe the 5 per cent rebate was
smuggled in with full appreciation
of what it would really mean? Of
course, the performance reacts
against the Administration, for
there is now a fearful pressure for
revenues that the tariff makers
could not have anticipated when
they sliced off per cent. If it
was a trick, it brings the reward
that trickery deserves.

The grace without which faith and

Which guides thee to the fields of

Not wooing for a share in Glory s

Cites Arguments Against Opening
Mt. Vernon On Sundays.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
l hear the annual complaint that the
board of regents of Mt. Vernon have
not seen fit to throw open the grounds
to visitors on Sunday. The usual plea
Is offered that a great many of the
people of Washington have to work six
days in the week and Sunday is the
only day on which they can be tree to
pay their respects to the father OF their
country. The same plea has been Of
fered to justify keeping open the public
buildings of Washington on the same
day.
Thousands OF people In other cities of
our country are also obliged to work
six days IN the week, but they manage
to take a few days OFF and come TO
Washington, paying railroad fare and
hotel bills. In order to visit the tomb OF
Washington and other places Of interest
in the city. | do not see why the people
of Washington should not be willing to
make similar sacrifices. 1t argues a
sad lack of patriotism and a disregard
of their privileges IL they are not will
ing to give single working day for this
purpose.
1t does not seem to occur to them that
IL these places are thrown open on
sunday great may people will be
Obliged to work seven days in the week
all the year round. and will have no rest
at all. This reason alone. even II there
were no others. would justify the clos
ing Of these places. Il. S. MOORE.

BRITAIN AND DRINK

The British government has ap-
pointed a central control board to
handle the Liquor problem in places
where munitions of war are pro-
duced, and about military camps.
Various titled and otherwise emf
nent folk constitute the board,
whose personnel strongly suggests
that it is going to try to do a
good thing in precisely the wrong
way.
In such a crisis cas- the present
one in England, drink is either a
good thing or bad thing for the
country. If it is good thing there
should be no added interference
with it; if it is bad thing, it is
a bad thing for the efficiency Of the
whole country. 1t is mighty dan
gerous doctrine to assume that the
industrial efficiency Of people driv-
ing tram cars or plowing, or clerk
ing in banks or sitting in parlia-
ment is immaterial, while a particu-
lar section Of the community, work
ing under speeding-up pressure for
a special service to the state, must
be differently treated.
There is no section of the British
community that does not need to
maintain it's fullest producing capa-
bility. If the desirable measure of
efficiency is to be attained among
| 80 per cent of the people without
interfering with the liquor business,
then the other 20 per cent cannot
fairly be put under special condi-
tions. 1t amounts to segregating a
particular elements of industrial
workers and compelling them to
labor in conditions that, as COM
pared to those of the rest of the
people, amount to species of dur
ance. 1t would be only step far
ther to fence in the munitions fac.
tories with barbed-wire entangle.
ments, put guards over them, and
drive the workers to their tasks.
If England thinks drink is injur.
ing its industrial and military eff
ficiency in measure that consti
tutes a menace to the country, Eng.
land should deal honestly anC
squarely with the problem. England
should 60 on the water wagon, OF
else it should decide that it doesn't
intend to go on the water wagon
1t can't set off a particular clas:
and say "No liquor for you; the
rest of us may drink all we like; moi
YOU" The notion Of segregatine
the munition workers under a rul,
that does not apply to the rest of thu
country savors too>much of turning
. over the most important industry II
group of people who are told il
advance that they cannot be trusted
and that they require to be treated
a little better than criminals. l
England in general is to go on witt
its regular Scotch and soda, it can
not expect a special class of peopl
to accept different treatment.
