President Wilson had every oppor-
tunity to bring about invest cation
before legislation. The Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States APP
pealed for an inquiry. Business men
and commercial bodies all over the
country sent messages to the Presi-
dent and to their representatives in
Washington, urging arbitration Of
the wages dispute, or at the very
least an inquiry by impartial gov
eminent agency. The railroad execu-
tives time after time demanded an
inquiry. The President turned a deaf
ear to all He went into commun-
ion with himself to announce some

wages.
Whatever society has sanctioned as
to the number of hours a workman
should toll in the twenty-four. it has
not yet sanctioned the extortion of
money, either by labor or by capital,
either in wages or in profit, simply
by application of a club. That was
what the President connived at and
took part in when the pay raising bill
was damned through Congress while
the labor lobbyists sat in the CALLER
les and held a stop watch on the legis-
lators as they voted
Society has not yet manifested any
general approval of that measure,

Let Submarines Stay on the Surface

The rules adopted by Norway in re
gard to treatment of submarines OF
belligerents have much to commend
them as models for the United States.
Norway. under royal decree of DC
tober 10. forbids submarines designed
for war purposes belonging to bellig
erents from traversing Norwegian
waters except in cases of emergency
when they must remain upon the SUI
face and fly their national flag. Mer-
camille submarines belonging TO Del
ligerents must also remain on the
surface in full daylight, and must lily
their national flag. NO turther re
strictions are placed upon mercantile
submarines for the time being. Ihey
may come and go at will.
Norway takes the position assumed
bv the United States in refusing 70
bar the war vessels of belligerents
from its waters and ports But the
United States stopped there. while
Norway prohibits the operation OF
submarines under Norwegian waters
This rule deserves the careful con
sideration of the United States Gov

NEWARK AND IT'S MENACE.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir:-The most dangerous enemy OF
society Is not the man with a black
Jack Neither is he the drunkard
nor the adulterer. All such men have
but few individual victims. Besides,
if any one of them starts on a career
of crime he is pretty sure soon to
be caught.
The dangerous enemy of society is
the man who cannot be easily caught;
the man who is careful to keep al
ways within the law: the man, like
the seller of impure food. or the po-
litical CRATER: whose crimes affect
not a few individuals merely. but all
people in the State alike.
In a town like Newark. which must
have a thorough cleaning up OF cess
pools, IL the typhoid menace is TO be
eradicated, the dangerous persons are
of a clearly defined type.
There are those who sell their
property to others, and yet retain con-
troll of ii in such a way that they can
not be legally compelled to stand the
expense of installing sewer drains IN
/ it. while the nominal owners are too
]
sary improvements. There are those
who delay action toward securing
needed sanitation under cover of the
plea of the impracticability of
attempting the work. and who do not
bestir themselves at once to find a
means Of doing their duty. Such men
are very dangerous enemies Of so
ciety
Such men endanger the health and
lives Of all persons in the town in
which they live. Perhaps Newark Is
not the only town IN Delaware which
contains a number of these men. All
the more reason. therefore, why the
State. as a whole. with Wilmington
heartily cooperating. should strive TO
secure a law giving local Boards of
Health power 10 enforce regulations
essential to the health of US all.
Where the ties Of relationship. re-
ligion or business, make II exceed
ingly difficult for most men to voice
their sentiments in regard to the
iniquities within a town. it becomes
the moral duty Of any citizen who is
free to do so. to speak openly OF
these evils.
