WHO SAID NEUTRAL?

The American people, both before
and after the caution Of the president.
have had fairly good success In re-
naming neutral in regard to Euro
pean affairs. Most everybody has
some opinions and some sympathies
that are not exactly impartial, but
these have been dccently subdued in
the name Of fairness and justice. ex-
cept where some outbreakng ag-
erosion Of one party Of the other
has forced protest We have been
fairly neutral, but not impartial
enough to brag about 1t is with re-
gret. then. that we read two recent
items Of news. one is that an adj css
"to the people Of the allie nations,
expressing sympathy and encourage
mont. has been issued. bearing the
signatures Of five hundred American
citizens. including men OF all walks
Of life and most OF them prominent
in their callinps. We have no criti-
cism to make Of them for holding the
opinions expressed In this address.
but II certainly looks unwisc and i'm
proper to give their sentiments such
wide publicity at a time when we are
having n hard time to keep our neu-
trality on straight anyway. 1t is not
right to put any stumbling blocks in
the way Of the United States govern
ment in its cndeavors TO hold n
straight and just measure of peace
with all our European friends. An
other and more deplorable movement
and one with less justification In
common-sense. Is the campaign Of a
bunch of money nabObs in the
east TO raise a gigantic relief fund as
n personal gift to several of the dis
tresscd royal parsonages. II anything
can be done to relieve the sorrows of
King Albert Of Belgium or King Peter
OF Serbia, no one could criticise the
effort. but It looks like the last word
I'm snobbishncss and sycophancy TO
donate hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to the royalties Of England and
Russia. II these people in New York
have more money than they want,
there are people nearer home that
are more worthy of help and Will
make better use OF the funds than
kings and queens and princes. No
wonder the common people look with
suspicion and contempt upon the rich
when they make such exhibitions as

two months before Nerdun and a state
Of comparative quiet reigning in all

sues growing out Of the war are prom
inently to the fore in the news of the
day.
The submarine controversy between
the United States and Germany,
heightened by the disaster that be-
fell the cross channel steamer Sussex,
and Germany's denial that one of her
submarines was responsible for 1t, has

ering data for information" to Ger
many concerning the Sussex and at
tacks on various merchantmen since
the torpedoing of the Lusitania, which
it is asserted, will bring to a focus
the entire question of submarines.
Great Britain has replied to the
American protest against the clause
in her trading with the enemy act",
which prevents trading with any bus
mess firm that has affiliations with or
is controlled by subjects OF enemy
countries. The note asserts that the
act is being enforced to restrict ac
tivities and trade of persons under
British jurisdiction and that care will
be taken to avoid injury to neutral
commerce.

packers against Great Britain for the
holding up of cargoes valued at many
millions of dollars destined for neu-

SPECIFICATIONS LACKING.

The president has not yet furnished
the public with any details OF the
sinister conspiracy which he has
solemnly declared to exist for the
purpose of provoking war with Mex
leo. Sufficient time has elapsed since
the making Of this declaration for the
elaboration of the story-and certain
ly the demand for a bill Of particulars
has arisen loudly enough and in
places Of sufficient importance 10
warrant attention. Yet the president
remains silent AS in the case two
wears ago when he denounced the
Insldious lobby which he said was try
ing to hamper the passage or the
tariff law, and in the later instance
when he said that he had secured his
Information regarding Mexico from
"lars", the president rests upon his
original assertion and refuses to par
ticularize The result of his silence
is twofold. In the first place inno-
cent persons are placed under unjust
suspicion. and secondly the reaction
upon the presidents sense of judg-
ment is most severe. The country is
beginning to realize that Mr. Wilson
is accustomed to making unsubstan-
tiated assertions in order to divert at
tention from his own shortcomings
lie has never yet been able or willing
to produce any specific evidence II
any of the cases which we have
cited. He has issued wholesale de
nunciation and there rested his case
as though he expected the opinion o
n chief executive to be conclusive II
itself and require no evidence. Bu
the people are no longer disposed Il
regard the fulminations of the Whit
House as the last word. They wan
specifications and proof, but none ar
forthc coming. Mr.. Wilson has show
himself as an adept in fashionin
bogey men for moral effect, but hi
manufactured spooks have ceased

a THORN IN HIS SIDE.

Admiral Fiske has surely proven
thorn in the side of Secretary Daniels,
for he has persisted in telling things
that did not tend to make the navy
department look good to the public
rs at present managed. The secre-
tary has insisted all along that Fiske's
utterances should not be credited, for
the reason that he had n personal
grievance against the head of the de-
partment and was desirous of getting
even" with Mr.. Daniels for the treat
ment he had received. Yet Mr.. Dan
iels has, unwittingly no doubt, re-
vealed the secret of his hostility to-
ward Admiral F'iske and the reasons
which prompted him to send the
admiral away from Washington. so
that he could not corrupt the morals
Of innocent congressman. The ad-
miral. according TO the secretary, was
guilty of the unladylike conduct of
INSISTING tndt tHe navy oiio"i" Nv W.
Quoted upon "militaristic principles"
To the infinite distress of Josephus
and his patron, William Jennings
BRYAN. the admiral mad no sympathy
with the formers kindergarten class
for jackies, actually scoffed at Dan
iers scheme to teach the sailormen to
knit socks for suffering soldiers. and
so conducted himself as to run the
risk of encouraging fighting spirit
| in the navy. In fact, Admiral Fiske
let Il be known that he believed the
navy to be intended for an arm OF
national service, rather than q school
OF physical culture and dress parade.
and. OF course this was rank heresy
in the eyes of a discipline of Bryan.
IL is not strange, then. that Daniels
sent him off where he could not talk
to congressional investigating COM
mittees. As the New York American
puts 1t. Admiral Fiske has not only
proved that he is not an officer and
a lady, but that he has not any con-
ception Of the proper function Of the

THE PERSECUTION OF HUGHES.

We have no sympathy with those
who are contending that Justice
Hughes should come out and state his
position In regard to the presidency.
He has more than once said unmis-
takably that he would not authorize
the use of his name as candidate,
so II there are those yet who persist
In regarding him as a possibility. 1t Is
not fault of Mr.. Hughes. The CON
tention is urged that, because he Is
easily the most popular man yet men
toned for the nomination, 1t Is his
duty to put himself on record on pub
lie questions, or else flatly decline the
nomination in advance of its being
rendered to him. II Is urged right
fully that we do not want to nominate
n man without knowing what sort OF
platform he favors, as the Demo-
Gratis did In the case of General Han
cock. yet we fail to see why this fact
should involve any obligation on the
part OF any man who persistently de-
clines TO seek the nomination. While
il is desirable to know where Mr.
| Hughes stands on the issues of the
day we have no right to demand that
he should express himself except ir
case he should yield to the popular
solicitation and sLie his hat into the
ring. Mr. Hughes is entirely withir
his rights in saying nothing and con
tinuing to pay strict attention to his
present business. The endeavor tC
force him into declaration under
the circumstances is both unkind an6
unjust. As long as he witbholds hi'
personal approval of n campaign II
his favor he Is under no obligation!
to anybody to issue n declaration o
principles. II the Republicans wan
TO nominate him anyhow, which is no
at all improbable, they can do so oil
the plea that his past record entities
him to the confidence of the people
alike as to his wisdom. his ability ant
his integrity. II they have not tina
confidence, then we had better TAXI
