The above item gives an idea of the
way the Canadian government does
things, in contrast to the American
plan. While Canada is using it's sol
dicry to head off these undcsirablcs:,
Uncle Sam allows them to go their
way unmolcsted even though their
way requires taking charge Of freight
trains or forcibly releasing members
of the order in Jail for lawlessness
Even if it were desired to turn the
militia loose on these rovcrs If would
be impossible. The militia is all
down in Texas learning how to drill
From day to day we read of freight
trains taken possession Of farmers
murdered and train crews scared out,
not to mention prisoners released.
And the state and federal govern
mcnts keep their eyes shut while the
municipal authorities keep their fling
ers crossed and hope their town may
not be visited by the "wobblers.
With no other resource the citizens
of many towns arc arming and patroll-
ing their property, as well as making
the went workers scarce.
But, then, VIC should worry In case
of an emergency we can look 70 Nick.

THE POTOMAC PARK PLANS

Washington should stand solidly
behind Colonel Harris in his cam
paign to obtain from Congress the
appropriations to convert Potomac
Park into the most modern municipal
Fairgrounds in the country.
Should the plans Of the Superin-
tendent of Buildings and Grounds be
approved and supported by appropri-
atoms, Washington would be pre-
pared to stage athletic and other
pageants of national importance. In
addition the Capital would be able
to invite the Olympic games here
for the quadrennial renewal Of that
classic Of the ancients.
That Washington is the logical
place for the Army-Navy football
game has long been admitted. From
an event Of comparative insignif-
canoe this meeting on the gridiron
has grown to attract the interest
and presence Of the most notable
gathering that attends any athletic
event.
At least $4,000 must be accommo-
dated for the Army-Navy contest
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, is NOT
large enough; the Polo Grounds
New York, were built for baseball
with stands poorly arranged for q
proper view Of a gridiron. Prince
ton, in it's single trial, failed to dem
onstrate that its railroad facilities
were adequate for the rush Of the
day. The Stadium at Cambridge
and the Bowl at New Haven, while
sufficiently large, are geographical!
eliminated in the opinion Of the au
thorities at both West Point and An
napolis.
Washington wants the game, thu
Capital is the proper meeting grounc
for the Cadets and Midshipmen, M
other city is satisfactory to al
parties directly interested. All tina
is needed is Congressional approva

NICARA0UAN TREATY GAINS

It was a wise, patriotic and neces-
sary act to affirm the Nicaraguan
treaty. This measure will give the
United States the exclusive right to
build a canal across Nicaragua. We
may never build one, but nobody else
will ever build one.
Aside from the Panama canal,
which is now in our possession and
will remain under our control as
long as we have the physical power
to hold and operate it, there is no
other feasible shortcut canal route
between the Atlantic and the Pacific,
So when we acquire the important
right to build the Nicaraguan canal
and the more important right to pre-
vent any other power from building
1t, we have forged one more link in
the chain which, holding all the
American states together, is at the
Same time a barrier against Euro.
pean encroachments upon any Of the
Americas.
And with this treaty we have done
more than to shut Europe out Of the
canal-building business in Contra
America. We have acquired the
rights to establish naval bases anc
to extend and perfect our militar!
Notifications essential to the protec
ton of the Panama canal, which W,
already have built and now possess
but which, like the Monroe doctrine
can never be more secure for us ant
the rest Of the Americas by one viii
than our military power in case o
need to hold it against anybody els,
in the world.
The Washington times., 1916-02-21
NATIONAL DEFENSE HIGHWAY

Some things aren't so foolish as
they look, but at the same time
aren't so easy to accomplish as they
might be. Representative Stephens
of California has a bill in Congress
providing for a national defense
highway" 1t is to be primarily a
road which in time Of war would be
of invaluable service as military
weapon and agency. He draws his
road line pretty much all around the
country, just within the national
boundaries-from lower California
along the southern line to the At
lantic, up this coast to Maine, across
to, the Pacific, and then down the
coast there.
Representative Stephens, of course,
can get the hearty support of all the
States which, now destitute of any
roads at all, are designated in this
measure for the military road. They
would like the National Government
to give them a splendid road which
could be used by them through all
the days of peace, when the whole
country would be doing most of the
paying for it.
The States which already have
splendid roads, on which they are
spending vast sums of money
wouldn't like it so much. The Gov
eminent couldn't wish any better
roads for military purposes thar
New York, New England, New Jer
sey, Maryland, and a considerable,
part of Pennsylvania already have
But it is in these States that tn,
greater part of the national reve
nues are raised.
So these, very generally provide,
with splendid roads already, at thei
own expense, would, in effect, b

ANOTHER AWFUL OUTRAGE

"a word to the wise" was literally
displayed in the decorative legends
at the Beaux Arts ball the other
evening; a preparedness reminder in
somewhat these terms:
Under the Excise Law no liquors
may be sold after l a. m. A word
to the wise should suffice. PRE-
Meaning, "buy your drinks early
and place 'em on file for reference
etc.-after the excise hammer drops
at 1 o'clock" They did, too.
Comes now from Chicago, once
accounted a literally disposed burg,
the sad tale of how the prosecuting
attorney has passed the frappe to
early morning jewellers. They have
a o'clock lookup rule there, and,
odd as it may seem to folk unfamil-
lar with the puritanic sentiments
and practices of nowadays in Chi
cago, they take it pretty seriously.
However, the rule of laying in a
supply in the last moments before
the gong sounds, has saved Chicago
from disaster; one could have a nice,
neat row of mixed ones lined up on
the table at 1859, and contemplate
the prospect with comparative I'M
concern. But t'other night they had
bal masque, or some other such
festivity, in Chicago, and the district
attorney elbowed his way into the
