Science and Appropriations.

President Roosevelt years ago, ap-
pointed a society leader as an expert to investi-
gate the sanitary conditions Of the Chicago stock
yards, and one laughed louder than the Presi-
dent when asked to define the expert quahca-
tlons Of his commissioner. That joke appears
to have become precedent. 1t brought out
in the House debate on the diplomatic appropria-
ton bill that for some years Congress has been
appropriating money to send Scientists" abroad
to attend a congress for the scientific study of
alcohol; and that these American Scientists"
have invited that congress of alcoholic scientists
to hold its next session in Washington at the
expense OF the United States government, so
that appropriation of $4,000 had to be made
to keep our social engagement
The whole affair illustrates the power of prec-
edent. There are world congresses held some
where almost every week in the year. but the
delegates, whether scientists or plain citizens,
pay their own way But we now have the preee-
dent for the government footing the bills and it
will give impetus to world congresses to be
held in Washington. We will have no difficulty
in arranging for a world congress every day in
the year, and while Congress haggles over ap-
preparations for legitimate diplomatic intercourse
to place our Ambassadors, Ministers and consuls
on an equal footing with those of other ma
tions, the Treasury vaults will be opened to
anyone VINO Can arrange Tor world congress
OF dancing masters or pig-stickers who have in
fuence enough to convince the Foreign Affairs
Committee that it is for the scientific study of
those great questions
An interesting sidelight this appropriation
for the expenses of the alcoholic congress was
given in the list of scientists who have for
some years made these excursions abroad at the
expense of the government The Rev. E c.
Dinwidde heads the list of each delegation of
scientists" and has had associated with him
those other eminent Scientists" Vr:lSr- F.
Crafts, the Rev. S. E Nicholson, Ernest R.
Cherrington, the Rev. James K Shields and
other gentlemen and their wives, who have
ordinarily been known as officers and agitators
OF the Anti-Saloon League In fact they have
always advertised themselves as connected with
that organization Any member Of Congress
can testify to the scientific attainments of DR.
Dinwiddie and DR.. Crafts as promoters of legis-
latioa for the extraction of money from the

Defeat and Victory Deferred.

An alliance of various interests in the con-
vention at Chicago last night apparent
victory by achieving the one solitary object
which they had in common United they man
aged to halt the balloting after the roll had
been called twice. Had they failed Charles E.
Hughes, of New York. would, almost beyond
doubt, now be the Presidential nominee of the
Republican party Yet, there is not the smallest
sign at Chicago that the victory anything
more than the postponement of the defeat that
is to fall on each member of the alliance indi-
vidually. Time has been gained for effort
to strengthen defenses, but the strength of the
Hughes tide and its growth in volume between
the first and second ballots must have been suf-
fcient to drown any lingering hopes of favorite
sons or Old Guard.
Judging from distance it would appear that
the Hughes forces, satisfied with the proof of
their strength furnished by two ballots and su-
premely confident OF their mastery of the situ-
alton, quite content to permit the post
ponement of their triumph until today. The de-
mand Of the Republicans of the country is faith
fully represented in the convention. Today the
men OF New York and Pennsylvania will, no
doubt, recognize the inevitable if they have not
already recognized it, and the third ballot, the
fourth at latest, will witness the stampede for
the band wagon. While the showing of most of
the favorte sons must be disappointing to the
men who have been doing the claiming for them
the practical elimination of Col. Roosevelt
serious factor in the balloting is surprisingly
apparent.
Let it be recalled, however, and especially by
those who are yet apprehensive of possible
third ticket, that no longer ago than last Janu-
ary Col Roosevelt gave his approval to Justice
Hughes candidate and forthwith he
recognized as the second choice OF the Progress
sives What more they ask if they
honestly had second choice?

Treasury but the irreverent have classed them
with other gifted lobbyists, and not with the
men who patiently work retorts in the lab
oratory to extract knowledge from natures ele-
ments 1t was revelation to some OF the
members of Congress that they had for years
been appropriating money to send these sci
entists" abroad to study the science OF alcohol
and had also authorized them to invite other
scientists, possibly with the same scientific at
tainment, to come to Washington and hold a
congress at the expense of the government
Chairman Fitzgerald cited the law that no one,
not even the President, could without the au-
thority of Congress, invite anybody to come to
Washington and be entertained at public ex-
pense, but what is the law as between such
scientists as DR.. Dinwildie and DR.. Crafts and
the Foreign Affairs Committee. Chairman
Flood insisted that one of the powers of the
American Congress is to appropriate money to
encourage the development of science, and the
of $4,000 made to enter
tain our scientific guests. Where will this Con-
gressional encouragement of science stop?

the custom existing in the army at this

Secretary Daniels has made little prog
ress in convincing Congress of the urgent
necessity of removing from pending leg
islation certain Objectionable clauses
which will remove from the control Of
the navy vast reaches of oil fields in
California, which are vitality important
as a navy reserve supply.
Already. Mr.. Daniels has appealed d.
rectly to the President TO use his inhu-
ence with Congress to save these oil
lands. Secretary of the Interior Lane
and Senator Phelan, OF California IL is
said, are extremely active in urging leg
islation which will deprive the navy Of
these reserves and the President, accord
ingly. is caught between two Cabinet
millstones.
The naval program for the next hve
years includes a number of vessels which
depend almost exclusively upon crude
oil for fuel and unless the detrimental
legislation is killed. the navy will be
entirely dependent upon private sources
T.
would be almost a calamity.
The appointment of midshipmen 70 the
Marine Corps mentioned in the orders
last week fills the corps. There will be
no more midshipmen available for the
Marine Corps. and as a result the I76
vacancies created by the bill now pending
in Congress must be filled by examina-
ton Of enlisted men and civilians.
Several plans are under consideration
for naval personnel legislation. One Is
TO place officers in the different grades on
a percentage basis. 1t is understood that
the Secretary looks with favor on a plan
which has been submitted TO him which
will fix the percentage as follows: One
per cent is the grade OF rear admiral, 81
per cent In the captains grade, per cent
in the commanders. Is per cent in the
lieutenant commanders. and 80 per cent
in the leutenants This would give the
navy three additional rear admiras,
seventy commanders, 100 lieutenant com
manders. and go lieutenants On this
basis the number Of captains will be re-
duced from ninety TO seventy-hve.

Phrase Making.

Colonel Roosevelt is as ever a phrase maker.
What he means by weasel words" we don't Just
know but it certainly has the sound of a kill
ing blast at Wilson rhetoric.
President Wilson is not so happy in his
phrases. The best remembered is his "Too
Proud to Fight" 1t will plague him throughout
the campaign. The Presidents latest appears
in his Memorial Day declaration: Il shall never
myself consent" he says, "to entangling alli-
ance, but l would gladly assent to olsen
tangling alliance" What is disentangling al
lance? What alliance is it that the President
wants to make US part of that has disentangle-
ment as its object and where we entangled
that we need disentangling ng?-Svaeuse Post

S2soooo alienation suit in New York dis
closes scrambling of cults, culture and
temperaments. A Mrs. Brownie Somebody,
aged 81. described as a follower of the Mazdaz-
cult of worshipers and known in the
inner circles "Salome" and the High
Priestess of the High Court of Women" is SUI
ing frisky siren of 70 for robbing her of the
affections OF her husband, impressionable
youth OF So who, it appears, adopted hostile
attitude toward his wife because of her insist
enee in worshiping at the Mazdaznan shrine
and giving financial support to one Ottoman
Zar-Adusht Hanish, high priest of the cult. On
the face of it the case doesn't look like one for
the courts to decide. Judging from the results
OF the efforts Of the Republcsn-Progressive har-
nony committee they would possibly be able to
deal with it satisfactorily.

Chamber of Commerce Ut
tiers Strong Plea Against
Lighterage Charges.
FREIGHT RATE CHARGE
PROPOSED BY N. J.
All Port Districts and Jersey
Cities Now in the Same
Toll Zone.

The Chamber of Commerce Of the
Borough OF Queens, through the new
traffic bureau, will cooperate with
other commercial organizations in this
city in vigorously opposing the recent
complaint made by New Jersey cities
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that the big trunk line railroads
with terminals in New Jersey are dis
eliminating in favor of New York City
in the matter of through freight rates.
The Jersey interests in their COM
plant assert that it is not fair to ask
cities in New Jersey to pay the same
freight rates as New York City, and
that an equivalent of the cost of light
erage on shipments across the Hudson
River should be deducted from their
tariffs.
The Queens chamber believes that
it should uphold the interests Of the
business men of this borough against
any proposal that would put them at a
disadvantage with their Jersey neigh
tors.
With new industries establishing in
Queens at an average of over one each
week the proposed move would work a
hardship on the business interests of
the borough. Enormous investments
have been made in the Borough OF
Queens. especially in the establishment
of new industries. This has been done
in the belief that no discriminating
rulings would be made to handicap
their growth.
1t is a matter Of general knowledge
that free lighterage was designed to
put the constituent parts of the Port
Of New York on an equality, overcom-
ing the insular disabilities of Long
Island, Manhattan and Staten Island
and promoting the free movement of
the nations commerce through the
port.
The Queens chamber points to the
figures of but one freight terminal in
Queens Borough-the greensboro Ter
mnal--as an indication of the increase
Of the lghterage traffic into Queens.
Although the Greensboro Terminal has
been in operation but two years, the
figures for the second year show a 35
per cent increase over the first years
traffic. For the year ended June 30,
1915, the tonnage handled at this ter
minal was 24.3l0 tons. For the CORE
spending period of the present year
the figure is $3.50 tons.
