ness for the United States and Central
America to insure domestic peace to
Mexico and 1t would be good business

diplomacy can do more for the Mex
lean peon9 than academic theories of
constitutional government.
The PanAmerican partnership with
the United States has another bene-
fetal aspect. The Pan-Ameriean part
ners will not expect an Indian and
mixed blood population of 1900, 900
to develop popular government over
night. They know from experience
the human limitations.
All stages of progress in popular
government are represented among
our Pan-American allies. Some verge
closely on the Diaz dictatorship. Some
the majority-are progressive oil
garchies. A few have advanced be-
yond this stage and are well developed
political machines, resting on the
popular will as interpreted by self
selected leaders. None OF them de-
ceive themselves as to what they are
and as to the slow growth of genuine
representation and constitutional gov
ernment. And none will expect a
rapid advancement by the Mexican
population.

REAL DEFENSE OR NOTHING
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.J


Unless the nation is prepared to enter
into a scheme of adequate defense it
might as we'll do nothing at all.
Defenses cost money. OF course, they
do. So do life and fire insurance poll
cies.
You may carry a fire insurance for
years and never have occasion to call
upon 1t to make losses good, but If
you do have fire that policy is a
That is to say, IL 1t Is issued by a COM
pany capable of living up to its con-
tract. IL II Is not, then you have
wasted your money.
And just so with the United States.
We may never be attacked, but If we
are, where shall we be unless we are
ready to meet the invaders hopefully?
Unless. in time of danger, our defenses
are equal to the emergency, we shall
have thrown away our money. There
fore, If we are going in for a navy and
an army, let us not halt over the cost
They must be the real thing in navies
and armies. If they are, any country
would hesitate a long time before at
taeking u.s.. If they are not, they would
simply invite war at the hands of any
jealous or aggrieYed nation.
The trouble with Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and Secretary of War
Garrison is just this: Both of them
have cast aside the opinions and plans
of the expert advisers who make the
study of war and preparations for war
their business. In the place of a genuine
defensive system, the respective Secre-
taries have evolved little plans of their
own.
Like investment in policy of a weak
insurance company, so is the invest
ment of a nation in weak defensive
system-worthless.

HIGH SCHOOL DISCUSSION

a s the High School problem is
~ studied more carefully it ap-
pears as a question so large and
so important that it cannot be deter
mined in hasty fashion. The more it
is considered the more it becomes
matter for expert advice and study. 1t
cannot be solved by theoretical discus
sion. Out of large experience and the
study of other cities final conclusion
should be reached here.
1t would appear that in the first
instance 1t is not so much a question
of building as it is one of educational
methods. Whether we shall have CO.
education with fine central structure
to accommodate all the pupils, or sepa-
rate buildings for the girls and boys,
is one element of the problem. If
co-education is to be continued it will
mean another large building; if this
system is to be discontinued, then
there becomes involved either a new
high school for boys or the enlarge
ment of the Technical high school and
the building of smaller high school
for girls only. If it is decided to intro
duce the juvenile high school system,
then there is an additional problem,
and altogether the question is so COM
plex that the matter of building is
secondary in Importance to the settle
ment of the other phases of this i'm
portant matter.
There has been some talk of the
appointment of an advisory committee
TO act in conjunction with the COM
mittee of the School Board in con-
Eldering all the matters relating to the
new high school problem. We doubt
whether such a committee is neces-
sary. Harrisburg has just passed upon
the election of school directors and
the present board seems to be entirely
acceptable to the people. 1t is hardly
reasonable to assume that the directors,
all OF whom have had more or less
experience in school matters, are not
quite as we'll qualified to dispose of
these various problems as any other
citizens who might be chosen to CO.
operate with them.
What would seem to be more i'm
portant than an advisory body is the
selection by the school directors of an
expert or experts who have had wide
experience in educational work, es-
pecially in methods and in the charac-
ter of buildings and equipment. For
instance, the new town of Gary has
been provided with a system of edu-
cation after comprehensive study of
all the problems involved in the build
ing of a city. 1t is to be assumed that
in the school facilities of that town
the very best should have been adopted,
inasmuch as it is not there a question
of expense so much as it was of the
greatest benefit to the school popu-
lation. Perhaps the man or men re-
sponsible for the Gary system might
throw some light on our own situation.
In any event it is certain that we
must proceed with greatest care so
that there may be no mistake in our
conclusions.

OLD FRIENDS BACK AGAIN

lNUR lively contemporary, the
~ movie" scenario writer, has re-
introduced us to an old friend in
new guise. That hard-fisted scoun-
drel, the owner of all the MORTGAGES
in the countryside. has been rejuve-
mated. We thought he had died years
ago when the Grand Opera House was
burned and ten-cent melodrama be-
came as extinct as the dodo or the
three-toed horse. But not so; he is
back again, and with him comes that
dastardly thief whose chief business is
to steal the papers" Both are doing
stunts for the movies that would have
made the old melodramatic "sawmilr'
scene, where a young girl-or was it
young man?-rode to the very teeth
or the buzz saw before being rescued
by the hero. look like a scene in a
sunday school entertainment dialogue.
what reams of fiction and of drama
have been written around "the pa
pers!" The lost or incomplete deed
and the cut-throat mortgage gave a
generation of authors the strong sit
uations upon which to base their pic
lures of human passions. And this
was not without good reason; for
humanity has always loved the COM
plication into which there entered an
element Of mystery. The deed was
one of these mysteries. Not so very
many years ago even businessmen who
were we'll versed in the general busi-
ness procedure of their day and gen.
Grafton looked upon the conveyance of
property as a cabalistic legal process
of which they could know nothing OK
cept, perhaps, its power to influence
their lives and those of their descend
ants.
In spite of such knowledge of the
Importance of the instruments that
give title to real estate, the details of
procedure in coming into possession of
houses and lands, or of vesting that
possession in others, have never re-
ceived from the general business world
the attention which is their due and
which their increasing prominence and
frequency of occurrence are making
necessary to the competent man of
affairs.
Just why these things should ever
have been puzzling is hard to conceive.
Yet the careless preparation of deeds
and uncertainty as to their real mean
ing have brought more heartaches and
tragedies than ever were put behind
footlights or on the movie screen.

READY FOR THE SCRAP HEAP

ltrom tne New YORK SUM-
The fun in the peace pilgrimage was
from the start somewhat forced. AS a
serious attempt to get the boys out of
the trenches by Christmas" the scheme
was sublimely impossible. Regarded,
as 1t has been by not a few, as a cam
paign of advertising, 1t was despicable.
AS crusade of disordered minds,
greedy for reclame or fanatically de-
voted to peace at any price in the most
exaggerated form of that ecstatic alb
erratlon, it was, ,superficially ridiculous
but fundamentally pathetic. And, how
ever looked on, 1t was too highly charg-
ed with possibilities of trouble making,
though disowned by official America,
to be regarded with complacency.
Whatever may be the truth in the
conflicting reports of the personal con-
dition of the leader of the expedition.
it must now begin to be pretty clear
even to the fanatics engaged in 1t, as
it has been throughout to every sane
person, that the argosy, conceived In
folly and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created foolish, can
never get shot at it's wild goose 1t
will be occasion for surprise, and for
regret tempered by the pleasure of
escape from real danger, II the mad
troop retains enough in it's lunacy to
carry 1t home in body.

facts and figures are being prepared
TO demonstrate that there is urgent
ana immediate need for the charting
or American harbors.
These facts and figures are convinc-
lhg' even TO the layman. Take Alaska,
for example. From Juneau, the cant
tai, to Attu, the ,uttermost of the
Aleutian Islands, is a sweep of coast
ana channel over two thousand miles
long. Not 10 per cent. of it has ever
peen surveyed In the deep, narrow
channels that run between the wood
ed Alaskan Islands, sharp pinnacle
rocks are q constant menace. Undis-
covered shoals and reefs are every
where. Wrecks are a frequent occur
ence. The government lost a revenue
cutter worth half a million dollars
near one of the Aleutians last year.
The Alaskan fishing fleets have lost
seventy large vessels in the last fifteen
years. Merchant vessels in general are
AFRAID to venture near the Alaskan
coast. The commerce between Cam
ada and the Orient passes within
sight of the Aleutian Islands, but no
vessel thinks of trying to touch there
or anywhere else along the Alaskan

that region not long ago, japanese
and British vessels turned and ran
Tor Honolulu. twelve hundred miles
away, although within few hundred
miles of Dutch Harber on one of the
Aleutian Islands. They took no
chances.
So the dangers to navigation in a
sense took the door upon Alaskan
wealth. So dangerous is the navi-
cation of Alaskan waters that ma
rine insurance rates for vessels In
that trade are eXorbitantly high. The
government is building a railroad
from Seward to the interior, and it's
usefulness will depend largely upon
the ship lines that reach it, Wealth
in lumber, fish and fur is waiting de-
velopment in southeast Alaska. There,
too, is an almost ideal climate, despite
popular opinion to the contrary. At
Cordova an ice plant has been erect
ed, as the natural ice never freezes
to depth of more than a quarter
of an inch. Warmed by the japanese
current and rich in natural resources,
this country lacks literally nothing but
connection with the rest of the
world
The need for continuous investiga-
ton of harbors and channels is due
principally to two things-changes in
the bottom of the ocean and the con-
stantly increasing draft of vessels
When the Coast and Geodetic Survey
was founded, most of our commerce,
which was then very extensive, was
carried on in schooners, many of
which drew only six or seven feet.
Now harbor must have a depth of
thirty-five feet If it is to accommo-
date the commerce of the world, and
the size of vessels is constantly in
creasing.

4 PINNACLE of rock higher than
\ the Washington Monument was

n the Washington Monument was
recently discovered by the
photographers of the Coast and Geo
uetlc Survey in one of the narrow
channels near Ketchikan, Alaska.
Standing in 900 feet of water, it's point
was only seventeen feet below the
surface at high tide, so that it
nenaced every ocean-going vessel
passing that way. 1t was located by
means of new device called the wire
drag. This consists of a long line
carried between two boats, which
feels out" bottom by means of
-likeN wires.
In Boston harbor the photographers
found that there were only about 90
teet of water at a place where the
harber was supposed to be for
ty-three feet deep. In some myster-
ious way it had become filled in, and
not with sand or mud but with rock
which might have damaged a valu-
able ship.
This work of surveying American
harbors with the wire drag is the
beginning of an era of renewed ac-
tlV1ty on the part of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, which is the old
est of the government bureaus and
one of the most interesting. 1t was
founded by Thomas Jeffer{on, and
nlVersary of its founding. The Off
Gals are planning to celebrate this
event.
For a century the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey has been plodding along
in conservatively scientific manner
without attracting any attention from
the public and very little from Con-
gress. The prosperity of our mer-
chant marine, the effectiveness of our
navy, the development of Alaska and
other outlying possessions are all de-
and coast lines; while geodetfc work
is the basis of all surveys. Yet this
department has long lived in little
red brick building which appears to
be a remodeled dwelling. 1t has had
four small vessels with which to study
the coastline of half continent and
a good many islands, and those vessels
were so antiquated that they were not
safe. Although requiring the highest
technical skill, it is paid the lowest
salaries. So the Coast and Geodetic
Survey became an almost forgotten
government department. trying might
lily to do a great work with antiquated
apparatus and insufficient funds.
Now a change has taken place. The
administration has determined that
the Importance of the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey shall be recognized and
it's work placed on an adequate foot
ing as to funds and equipment. It's
dilapidated quarters have been re-
paired and repainted. A vessel of L.
600 tons burden. modern in every de-
tail, and especially adapted to scien-
tific work, is being built to carry on
the wire drag work. Two of the old
boats will be sold as junk, and the
other two extensively repaired. Con-
