We have a different ideal, you and we; --

The Blacklist Protest.

Mr.. Folks blacklist protest TO the
British government is correct in form ana
unanswerable in logic. The blacklist Is an
Legitimate weapon when used to intlml-
date and iniure innocent third persons, not
concerned in the quarrel between the
blacklisted and the blacklister. 1t is all
right for Great Britain to prohibit her
subjects from dealing with neutral hrms
CT individuals suspected of aiding Ger
many. But if, as Mr.. Polk says, the pro
scription ordered by London is to run 70
neutral steamship lines which transport
the goods of the blacklisted firms and IN
dividuals, or to bankers who give them ac-
commodations, then a secondary boycott
is being set up, which 1agrantly violates
neutral rights and Furnishes Americans
who have done nothing whatever in the
way of illicit traffic with Britain's enemies.
Moreover, American citizens, as such,
have a right to trade with the Teutonic
Allies, subject to the ordinary wartime
rules of international law. The correct
and straightforward thing to do is to seize
the property of such traders, If 1t is
contraband, and to condemn it under the
law of blockade. To put in force secret
prescription, imposing penalties In the
dark, without legal examination or trial,
is a method of restraint on trade with
enemy nations which cannot be expected
70 appeal to a neutral's sense of fair play.
The blacklist order was mistake IN
policy on Great Britain's part. The game
is not worth the candle. Only driblets of
commerce with the Central European
Powers will be stopped by it. But at the
same time the patience Of the United
States is being sorely tried by vexatious
jnterferences with the routine of It's
foreign intercourse We still have the
right to go on doing foreign business, as
far as we can, exchanging mails and prod
rcts which are not contraband. We have
suffered many petty interferences with
our lawful trade. But the time may come
when we shall tire of the arbitrary and
trivial distractions which an unimagina-
tive policy in the British Foreign Office
seems bent on putting in our way.

In Glacier National Park, Montana, are
Mountain, Bear Head Mountain, Going-to the
Sun Mountain, Red Eagle Mountain, Almost
a-Dog Mountain.
In the same park are noble SUBMITS dis
figured with such appellations as Stimson
Mountain, Pinchot Mountain, and it is pro
posed TO rename some crest with a sonorous
or suggestive Indian name after our present
inconsequent Secretary of the Navy. No won
der the Blackfeet Indians protest
As one goes west across Montana, from the
vast convex of the Great Plains there rises
southwark mass called the Bear Paw Noun
tains, while a little further rise upon the
north the Sweet Water Hills. How eupho-
NOUS, even poetic. are these names
There are in Montana counties named Sill
yer Bow. Deer Lodge and Beaver Head, but
even Montana could not get off without nam
ing one county the eternal Cass. Just why
there should be a Cass County in about every
Western State no one knows, for Lewis Cass
is now all but forgotten.
But the practice of disfguring a noble
landmark with the ugly cognomen Of piifling
politician should be sternly repressed. The
propensity is no more than the grown-up edi-
ton of the small-boy's itch to scribble his
name on the back Of the barn. Henry Slim
son. worthy gentleman was a good Secre
tary of War. But if he fancies that his fam
lily name is beautiful, his taste is small and
his vanity great Stimson is ugly word,
indeed. that the mountain cursed by it ought
TO become a volcano in order TO blow its own
head off.
If these politicians had their way they
would rechristen the Sierra Nevada the Wood

lam Howard Taft Mountains, change the
Bitter Root to Elihu, style the Colorado River
the W. J. Bryan. our own Red River of the
North or that Of the South the ]. Ham Lewis

Why should politician be allowed to per
petuate his prosaic name by dsgracing a
splendid peak, already differentiated by an
appropriate Indian appo,lation that preserves
some tradition or tetoKens some natural pecu-
liarityl

accept (f thus it should come to him) the
highest office in hts country amid the stri-
dent assertions of organizations of voters
devoted in part at least to welfare OF the
country of their origin that theirs was the

A clarion call from Mr. Hughes will put

A Hint to the Charitable.

Nothing will come of the attempt to
provoke a quarrel on account OF the treas
urer of the Irish Relief Fund raised here
The British Home Secretary explained IN
the House of Commons yesterday that
while there is no objection to persons
from America assisting in the admlnistra-
ton of relief funds for Ireland the gov
eminent did not think it advisable to coun-
tenance every one "whose ostensible OBJ
iect was as stated" Ireland has already
suffered enough at the hands of PROCESSING
benefactors in this country, and it is high
time to use little intelligence in guard
ing against mischief-makers.
If in this case the authorities appear
overcautious to some compassionate peo-
ple here, allowance must be made for the
suspicions naturally aroused by the very
indiscreet methods used in raising funds
The gross exaggerations with regard
10 conditions in Dublin, the fantastic
nonsense about the cruelty of martial law
and the restitution and misery through
out the whole country, TO say nothing Of
the cooperation of German-Americans in
these charitable enterprises, have tended
naturally to create doubts about the cam
dor and dsinterestedness of all such pro-
motors.
The Nationalist in Ireland have al
ready done much to relieve the sufferings
of those who we're dependent on the vic
tins of the insane rebellion. Those who
dosiro 10 send further helm should be care

ful in the choice of their emissaries. Ih'
mscries Of Ireland are due largely TO SELL
ish mischief makers here, and the govern
ment cannot be expected in times like these
to run any risks.

LOCK OUT DEMOCRATS
ST. Louis Coliseum Shuts Down Until
Managers Get Comp Tickets.

ST. Louis, June 13.-Demands for
tickets to the Coliseum continued to
grow today but there were none to be
had by the late corners as the appor-
tionment of seats has already been
made.
The management of the Coliseum
las night locked out 100 workmen
and all representatives of the nation
al Democratic committee for three
hours and readmitted the workmen
only after the national committee had
agreed to give the Coliseum man
ayers four boxes containing twenty
two seats for all sessions of the con-
vention
The lockout caused the members of
the national committee considerable
anxiety inasmuch as the Coliseum is
only partly decorated and without
chairs for delegates, alternates and
newspaper men. BY working day and
night shifts, it will be possible to put
the building in proper shape in time
for the opening of the convention
Wednesday noon.
Several days ago the attention OF
the national committee was called to
clause in the contract with the Col
iseum company which the committee
had not noticed at the time of the
signing of the agreement This clause
the Coliseum managers said, required
that any one renting the building
must give to the managers the use OF
four boxes.

Falsely to Spite Will Orpet-

Waukegan, June 13.-Josephine
Davis, chum of Marion Lambert, for
whose death last February VIII H
Orpet is charged with murder. re-
sumed her testimony at the continu-
ance of the trial today.
Miss Davis, who has been referred
10 as the strongest witness for the
state" proved to be a better witness
for the defense yesterday. She said
she had testified falsely at the coro-
ner's inquest over the body and at the
hearing before the grand jury and
that she now wished to correct her
earlier statements.
The particular points that Miss Da-
Wis changed in her testimony as given
soon after the death of Marion were
her statement to the effect that OrpeI
had given a capsule to Marion for a
supposedly delicate condition and that
