PEOPLE DEMAND
RETALIATION ON
TRADE BOYCOTT

WASHINGTON, July pa food of
protest from all parts of the United
States against the British boycott was
pouring in upon the White House and
the state department today.
The action of Great Britain in max
ing public a general list of American
firms who have been boycotted be-
cause they trade with England's enc
miles," has aroused public sentiment,
and demands for retaliatory legisla-
ton were reaching here from various
commercial organizations and individ-
uals affected.
Awaits Official Notice.
The state department is planning
action. It must wait, officials say,
reasonable time" for official notifica-
ton Of Great Britain's action If that
is not forthcoming, a direct inquiry
will be made at London.
Meanwhile, Acting Secretary of
State Polk is looking into the interna-
tional law bearing on the subject. 1t
is expected that after all of the facts
are compiled he will take the matter
up with President Wilson before
framing the planned protest.
Officials very frankly say that the
making public of this boycott list is, in
their opinion, the opening gun in
what likely will prove a relentless
trade war against all neutrals who
have refused to accept without pro-
test the restrictions placed upon COM
MERGE by the entente allies.
Operative for Year.
They point to the fact that the pres
ent boycott list was prepared by the
British board of trade and that it has
been operative for more than a year,
although only just now made public,
as indicating that the measure is one
planned by British exporters and man
ufacturers to regain their trade lost by
the war. The making public of the
list now, officials believe, was in an
ticipation that at the end of the pres
ent great drives on the eastern and
western front, peace negotiations will
assume a definite form.

for the use of every available instru-
ment of battle that would really
shorten the war. Does this mean that
in the ehaneallor's judgment unrestrain-
ed submarine warfare would not advance
the German cause?
German submarines have been active
for months past. sinking many trade
ships. with apparently little restraint
1t is difficult to see how this sort of
campaigning could be very greatly ex-
tended unless Germany is handicapped
by the necessity of giving warning to
intended victims as the United States
requires. Judging from the number of
vessels that are continually being re-
ported as sunk, the submarines are find
ing no lack of victims which they can
destroy even under these conditions. 1t
may be well questioned whether Chan
cellor Won Bethnann Hollweg, who has
heretofore stoutly opposed the Won Tir-
pitt doctrine. has now come over to the
belief that Germany's salvation lies in
the adoption of course that would
ALLEVIATE the United States officially and
would in all probability have little eff
feet upon the outcome of the war.

The Gas Rate.

The public utilities commission had
no alternative but to deny the petition
Of the gas company for a suspension of
the new statutory rate of 75 cents until
the completion of the physical valuation
and rate determination by the commits
sion itself. now in progress. 1t is true
that the new rate was adopted by Con-
2ress without hearing, without an in
spection of the books and without an
inquiry by Congress into the question
of the fairness or justice of the new
price. It is also true that the com
mission had begun such an investiga-
tIon to determine. not particularly the
reasonableness of a 75-cent rate, but
Just what the rate should be TO give the
company a proper profit 1t was felt at
the time that the congressional action
was precipitate, and, in view of the as
suranee that the valuation was in prog
ress and that the commission might soon

The act creating the public utilities
commission provided for investigation
by that body and then gave the commits
sion power to fix rates in the following
terms:
If upon such investigation the rates

shall be found TO be unjust, unreason-
able, insufficient or discriminatory, or
10 be preferential or otherwise in vio-
lation Of any of the provisions of this
section, the commission shall have power
TO determine and by order fix and order
to be substituted therefor such rate OF
rates, tolls, charges or schedules as shall
be just and reasonable"
In another paragraph it is stated:
That whenever, at the hearing and
investigation as provided in this sec
tion, the commission shall find that any
rate, toll, charge. regulation or practice
of any public utility within the District
of Columbia is unreasonable or discrim
inatory it shall have the power to regu

it may upon investigation advance the
rate if, in its judgment, it is not ade-
quate for the service rendered. On this
point is to be considered paragraph "a,
which reads:
"That unless the commission shall
otherwise order, it shall be unlawful for
any public utility within the District of
Columbia to demand, collect or receive
4 greater compensation for any service
than the charge fixed on the lowest
schedule of rates for the same service
under the law in force at the date of the
passage of this section
This would clearly seem to indicate
that it was the intention of Congress to
leave in the hands of the commission
the right to increase or to decrease the
rates from those in statutory eff
feet at the time the commission was
created. The gas rate being then 50,
the comm iSsion could have found for a
90-cent rate or a 70-eent rate. BY sub

Germany and England.

Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg

use of an expression which may suggest
that an agreement has been reached be-

he is the leader and exponent, and the
radical war party, which has recently
been endeavoring to oust him from Of

of campaign at sea. He said, referring
to England:
"a German statesman who would hesi-
tate to use against this enemy every
available instrument of battle that
would really shorten this war-such a
statesman should be hanged"

Again the Mob.

The members of the mob at Nowata,
Okla, showed all the hideous character
isties of the tribe. Their plans compre-
hended not only breaking the law, but
doing so in way to violate all senti-
rent, both lay and religious Their
victims were not charged with rape. but
murder. and were certain of trial by or
derly process and punishment if con
victed. But the mob. for the purpose
of making the community safer-such
is always a mObs gabble-could not
wait. 1t must settle the score instantly,
and on its own terms 1t resolved itself
into grand jury, judge, prosecutor and
petit jury, and put the objects of its
wrath to death.
The first place selected as the scene
for the execution was in front of
church. Lets lynch him on holy
ground," shouted some member This
was probably based on the proposition
that the holier the spot, the holier the
deed. But the pastor was in his study.
and, ascertaining what was up, per-
suaded the mob to forego its purpose.
Later, larger mob collected. chose

Oklahoma is a new state. But that
does not explain the matter. 1t is peo-
pied from older states-from some of
the oldest. Moreover. tragedies of this
abhorrent sort take place in communi-
ties that go back to the very beginning
of our governmental existence. In the
old as in the new states the courts are
open, legal processes are in operation,
and officers to interpret and execute the
law are in commission. There is no kind
of excuse for mobs.
And yet mobs persist. Lynehing sta

despite all the efforts of pulpit. press,

fierce spirit of defiance of the law keeps
up, and human beings are done to death
after fashions which sometimes exhibit
the passions exhibited by red Indians a
hundred and fifty years ago
The solution! Who may says Many
things have been tried. but nothing has
availed. The evil is not sectional, nor
religious. nor wholly racial. Whites as

states north, south. east and west have
been befouled by the excesses.

He should be. He submitted his ease

This in reply to the criticisms of his in

In an interview, Mr.. MARITIME says:

tions the local press was against me, and
even the press of New York has held me
up to ridicule whenever possible. l was
fully confident of winning from the out
set, for my course from the beginning
has been one of conscientiousness and
honesty"
Most likely, Mr.. MARITIME was helped
rather than hurt by the ridicu1e he men.
tions. 1t was greatly overdone. 1t ere
ated sympathy instead of prejudice The
descriptions did not fit the man or the
senator. His part in the work of the
Senate had been better performed than
his critics were aware of, or had the
eandor to state.
The fact that Mr. MARITIME has a man
ner all his own and not eonventionally
senatorial is of small moment. 1t has
not initiated against him as a senator
Personally. he is popular in the cham
Der; and while not frequent speaker

Freshness is not attractive or effective
wear anywhere in politics.
The quality that has counted most in
Mr.. Marines favor is his courage He
does his own thinking-wears no collar
although a good party man. And when
he makes up his mind he sticks. He
votes according to his convictions. No
member of the present Senate has a
better record for independence on big
questions that allow for such spirit and
action.
On this score Mr.. MARITIME has incurred
all the more criticism because of the cir
cumstances attending his reaching the
Senate He was assisted in his election
by Mr. Wilson. then the Governor OF
New Jersey. 1t seemed, therefore, to be
supposed that, on that account. he would
line up always as directed. But, as he
had taken no such view of the matter
he insisted on being a senator in his
own right, and has lived up to the OBJ
legations of his commission.
The very interesting question now is
Will Mr.. MARITIME or Mr.. Wilson prove
the stronger man in New Jersey on elec
tion day. We must wait for the vote
