THE SAVING GRACE

The support furnished in sea Of
troubles by a sense of humor is seen
in John Hays Diary, now first given
to the public. A mans letters are
partly the product of the one to
whom they are written, who inspires
them, whose point of view must be
regarded. But his diary is letter
to himself, and while recording facts
he moralizes or inveighs against des-
tiny, according to his nature.
In this intimate talk with his
secret self the genial Secretary of
State could both preach and censure
severely. But everywhere the love
of fun comes drifting in.
He jots down the Presidents pic
turesque remarks with evident glee.
Some one had written to ask the
head of the Nation if he wished to
annex any more islands. about as
much as a gorged anaconda wants to
swallow a porcupine wrong end to, "
was the reply. When the President
saw lions in the path Hay records
telling him of the far greater beasts
that appeared in Lincoln's way and
turned out to be only bobcats after
ALL"
The only note he makes of one
serious Cabinet meeting was the
Presidents allusion to an erring
chaplain which reminded member
of minister who said he had been
IAN exhorter for twenty years, but
for only six regular licentious
preacher"
Perhaps it was from Lincoln that
Hay learned the gracious service Of

CITY HOME RULE

The amended home rule proposal
reported by the cities committee of
the New York constitutional conven-
ton, the Citizens Union finds,
represents a notable advance in
dealing with municipal affairs" j."
Two serious defects are discovered,
however, which would annul much
of it's good. They are "the legisla-
tive veto over all important local
legislation and the failure to give
the city of New York control over
the government of the counties in
New York city"
In letter to each member of the
institutional convention the Citi-
zens' Union advances telling argu-
ments against these provisions
Against the legislative veto over
charters and charter amendments
/ the union urges that in retaining
such power the legislature would
"make the powers of charter amend,
ment tedious, cumbersome and un.
certain; it will create a divided re.
sponsibility, and it will
leave the cities subject to those
partisan considerations which have
in the past been so detrimental tc
their development"
The union admits that local au
thorities need a check on theil
powers and must not be allowed tt

ROOSEVELT AT pLATTSBURd

0ountry sorely needed the inspired
and inspiriting words Of a great
patriotic leader to awaken the
Nation to it's dangers and to it's
criminal self-neglect that time is
row.
Thirteen months have slipped by
since the vast confagration that is
consuming all Europe broke into
flame. And in all these thirteen
months, hanging at times on the
very verge Of war ourselves and
without army or ammunition, we
Rave Hsk 80 much as turned hand
IN the matter of preparing ourselves
for war or for protection against in
vasion.
And in this time no voice of ns-
tional authority, from the President
down, has sounded stirring call to
action in the way of preparedness.
A few utterances from Garrison and
Daniels, to be sure, have seeped out,
but they had no awakening notes for
the people.
Gen. Leonard Wood made a fine
speech recently at the Plattsburg
camp, pointing out the nations
dangers and necessities. But it was
not until yesterday that at Platts-
burg Colonel Roosevelt gave the
country in his great patriotic speech
call to the virile men of the nation
that should stir them to the depths
and awaken every ounce of patriotic
feeling that in them lies.
Because of his towering person.

GEORGE AND HIS TIP

While discussing the woes that
afflict American workmen the Com
mission on Industrial Relations felt
bound, of course, to include the Pull
man porter and his tip. No treatise
on the relations between capital and
labor would be complete without a
study of this menacing evil. Supine-
ly have we allowed the incubus to be
fastened upon US. Even when
States like Mississippi, ever alert to
the nations welfare, have enacted
legislation to stamp out the evil, we
have failed to realize it's gravity and
have even laughed at the reformers
Blindly we have handed grinning
George the quarter; we have done ii
even good-naturedly, for George was
usually so appreciative.
But we were wrong. Chairman
Walsh awakens US. George shouldn't
have a tip. Walsh recommends:
The enactment by Congress of a
statute prohibiting the tipping Of
any employe OF public service cor.
poration engaged In interstate COM
merce, and providing a proper fine
for both the giver and recipient Of
the tip.
Unfortunately such a law alst
would make it illegal to slip a dime
to the messenger boy who is extra
prompt and whose freckles happer
to suit ones fancy; but we must b,
ruthless. We must remember tha
it is all for George.

I am heartily In favor Of your cam

the District as your recent articles
recommend. but along this line. The
Times can perform a valuable service
to the community by laying more
stress upon the education Of pedes-
trians.

attention to where they are stepping
and do less shouting against so-called
reckless driving. feel confident there
would be a great big slump in the per-
centage Of accidents. Also II pedes-
trians showed less apparent animus
toward motorists everybody concerned
would get along much better.
In the last few years there has been
a wonderful improvement In motor
driving, due in great degree to the
constant hammering-away OF the pio-
neers for carefulness.
Every motorist In Washington, am
sure, respects the rights OF pedestrians
and Is trying to avoid trouble every
minute. -.

OUR ALIEN MILLIONS

There will be a new discussion Of
the immigration question in and out
of Congress as a result of things
which the last few months have de-
veloped. That we have nine mil
lions of aliens in this country who
have not moved toward becoming
citizens would not have been very
impressive thirteen months ago. 1t
is impressive now, for we know that
our boasted assimilation facilities
don't always assimilate. Neither the
unnaturalized nor the naturalized
person can be counted on to be a
real American; and no more can all
the native-born. There seems little
to choose between the alien who be-
comes formally naturalized without
becoming a real American and the
one who doesn't become naturalized
at all.
The oath of allegiance apparently
has meant little to many who have
taken it. Can it be made to mean
more? At least it is possible to at,
tach some penalties for thoughtless,
ness about it's significance. There
will be difficulty fixing an intellect,
ual standard, for the naturalized in.
tellectual seems quite as perverse ir
some cases as the unnaturalized il
literate.

and institutions to resident aliens

EARNING ITS SALT

For the fiscal year ending June
30, 1916, the total appropriation for
all purposes for the United States
Weather Bureau is s1,666,O5O.
BY its storm warning sent out
just before the recent gale whirled
over the Mexican gulf, and plowed
through the middle West, the
Weather Bureau kept in single
port-New Orleans-twelve vessels
whose total cargo exceeded in value
the total cost of running the bureau
for a year.
All of these vessels might not
have been lost had they put out to
sea, but they would have been in
great danger. At other ports the
same story was repeated.
In Galveston, it was indicated by
reports coming into the bureau to.
day, more Lives were saved by the
storm warnings than by the costly
sea wall. There the heroism and
resourcefulness of the Weather Blu.
reau's men were indicated by the
observer who sent motorcyclists
along the coast to warn persons o1
the approaching danger.

Still they couldn't do it If the local

must make its own laws to serve its
own needs. A country that has 10

"OERMANY WILL YlELD1

Some of our statesmen seem to
think in view of Count Won Bern
storff's message to the State Depart
ment, that Germany is getting ready
to grant President Wilson's demands
as to submarine warfare. Or if not
to grant them, at least to talk a
while about them and try to effect
a compromise on which the two gov
ernments can agree.
This is a curious situation. If
Germany is going to grant our de-
mands now, why did she not do it
after the Lusitania affair, instead Of
waiting for the privilege of sinking
the Arabic?
Is it Germany's purpose to con-
tinue a discussion until she can sink
few more passenger vessels with a
few hundred more innocent lives?
This controversy was supposed to
have passed out of the realm Of
discussion with the dispatch Of the
last American note on the Lusitania.
The President named certain condi-
tions and said the sinking of another
merchantmen in violation of them
would be regarded as deliberately
unfriendly." It is now mere ques-
tion of fact. Was the Arabic's de-
struction violation of those condi-
tions?
Germany is entitled to prove, if
she can, that she did not violate
those conditions. But that is all this
Government can in self-respect per-
nit. The Lusitania note was treated
with contempt and left unanswered.
The Arabic was sunk. If now the
American Government opens the
subject to parley, the situation will
be that Germany will have earned
the privilege of that parley by sink
ing the Arabic. We may reasonably
assume that if sinking an Arabic
pays for that privilege, then more
passenger vessels may later be sunk
in the hope of winning further ex-
tension of the discussion; and it is
not hard to conceive this procedure
continuing till the wars end.
American diplomacy would be the
laughing stock, the jest and derisior
of the world; and would deserve it
Our Government has a very sim.
pie course ahead Of it if it would
protect this country's honor. Ger.
many may satisfy it by proving that
the Arabic sinking was not a viola
tion Of conditions laid down in the
Lusitania note. Or Germany may
reply that the submarine comman.
der violated his instructions and Of
fer reparation for the injury te
American interests.
Is that sufficient ? American opin
ion will not think so. The submarine
commander, if he violated instruc
tions, murdered the Arabic victims
He became a pirate. He lost the
right to claim his governments pro
lection. If he did that he should b.
punished for piracy.
Will Germany, in addition to dis
avowing his act, punish him fol
piracy?
No disavowal with less convincin,
testimony to it's sincerity will eithe
satisfy American opinion or protec
this Nations self-respect.
