To begin with only few wild eyed fanatics took much stock in the ColoneIs charge. Had Wilson been guilty he would have been impeached long ago.
 Naturally Col Roosevelt comes in for a rebuke at the hands of the Senate Investigating committee. He could not substantiate anything he said against President Wilson. In that respect the Colonel is like a good many other people. It is easy enough to make charges; to substantlate them is yet another matter. The ColoneTs one best bet is making charges, and he has a lot of imitators. The finding of this committee that looked into the whole affair was noth- ing more than expected. No official would act in the interest of foreign ship owners in a period like this, no matter how corrupt he might be, no matter how depraved. Wisdom would
 
 dent of the United States would do such a thing is past all reason. Colonel Roosevelt deserves the con- demnation he gets at the hands of the majority report which justly re- bukes him for his "slanderous attack upon the high est officer of his gov ernment.' The Colonel set a bad eX ample. While he is out flaying the "hyphenates," as he calls them, and denouncing his fellows for their dis loyalty to this government it would be well were he to look to his own shining. Because his one greatest po- litical opponent sits in the executive mansion is no particular reason that the Colonel should charge him with treason and every crime under the skies. Especially is this so when the Colonel cannot prove word he ut ters. It were well that others pro- fitted by the Co1onel's mistake.

NEVER SAY DIE

From debates taking place in con- gress it looks as if something might ! be done in the nature of forbidding Am merican citizens to exercise their rights to travel the high seas on ships belonging to any of the belligerents. Senator O'Gorman of New York yes tcrday contended that it was not necessary for the lamented Consul McNeeley to have sailed on a belliger- ent ship. Straightwith Senator Lodge of Massachusetts unburdened himself with this declaration:-
 For the United States to urge it's citizens not to travel on the pas senger ships of any nation with which this country is on terms of peace would be tantamount to mak- ing it an ally of one of the powers at war"
 There is no reason in the world why citizens of the United States should not be allowed to travel on the ships of nations with which we are not at war. Especially is this so when we have the sacred word of the Austrian government to the eff feet that
 The Imperial and Royal govern ment can also substantially concur in the principal, * that private ships, insofar as they do not flee CT offer resistance, may not be de- stroyed without the persons aboard being nj 10 German pledge that: ''Liners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and without safety of the lives of the passengers, provided the | liners do not try to escape or offer resistance.''
 If pledges of this kind are violated it is up to the offending nations to 1 make reparat ton, not to outraged cit 1 izens to sacrifice their rights merely 1 because international law has been broken. Granted it is safer to travel on board neutral vessels, what guar antee has anyone that these ships will not be treated i'll the same manner as | those of belligerent nations? Records 1 show that the neutral countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Hol- i land already have lost as many ships 1 by submarine attack as England. Some of these ships have been sunk within the three mile limit of the | Scandinavian coast. There can be no guarantee one way or the other if nations choose to throw law to ind
 on the high seas. The truth of th q matter is, it is not safe to travel on any ship that Wends it's way into the "war zone," whether that ship belongs 1 to neutral or a belligerent nation. But this should not be the case The l high seas are as much the property 1 of the United States as they are the property of England, Germany, Aus l tria- Hungary, or any nation on earth. As a matter of fact, they belong to no nation Henry Cabot Lodge, the l scholarly senator from the Bay State
