Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Kitchin.

Mr.. Bryan is out in the open. But
he belongs there. He does not fight
under cover. 1t is to be said in JUS
tice to him that when he takes sides
he does so in a way to leave no doubt
as to his meaning and purposes.
He is against preparedness in all
forms. Indeed, he is leading the op-
position. Though out of office, and
not just now seeking Office, he is yet
as active as if in Office and charged
with that kind of responsibility.
Mr.. Bryan has congratulated Gen.
Sherwood on the latter's recent
speech in the House. Naturally, for
the speech was exactly in line with
Mr.. Bryan's own views. The two
men are in full agreement on the sub
ject. But of more importance is the
fact that Mr.. Bryan is also in COM
munication with Mr.. Kitchin, and en-
couraging him in the anti-prepared-
ness program. As leader of the
House Mr.. Kitchin will be a promi-
nent figure In the contest.
This state of affairs is peculiar, and
leads to no little speculation and un-
rest in democratic circles. Both Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Kitchin at present
recognize Mr.. Wilson as the head of

Police and Firemen's Pensions.

The action of the Northeast Wash
ington citizens at their association
meeting last night with respect to
police and hremen's pensions is in
line with the equities and needs of
the situation. Disappearing all prop
ositions for the maintenance of the
fund by special taxes, the association
went on record for the inclusion of
this item of expense IN the regular
annual budget, to be appropriated for
in the same manner as other items
of municipal maintenance. This is
the only just way to provide for the
pensions of the policemen and fire.
men. Those pensions should be rated
as part of the cost of the two pro-
tective departments of the District
along with the salaries for active
members. They should not be made
dependent upon special funds, fines,
particular taxes or other fIctuating
and unreliable sources of revenue.
The experience of several years past
has proved the unwisdom and un-
fairness of relying upon such funds
to meet the obligations of the Dis
trict toward the men who have been
retired from the police and pension
ranks for disabilities incurred in
service.

Tho Cart and the Horse.

As everybody knows, in the matter
of transportation the horse goes be-
fore the cart. Otherwise, there would
be nothing doing.
Congress is now confronted with
the problem as to whether prepared
ness or revenue goes first. The for
mer calls for the latter. Prepared
ness is impossible unless the money
to pay for it is provided. Either
bonds must be issued, or more taxes
laid. The President is opposed to
bonds, and has suggested new arti-
cles for taxation.
There are friends of preparedness
who insist that that question take
precedence of the revenue question.
They want determined first what
shall be done in the way of an ade-
quate national defense. With that
out of the way they will then take
up the question of more revenue.
Their idea seems to be that after
Congress commits itself to larger ap-
preparations larger revenues will fol-
low as a matter of necessity.
But that, in the opinion of other
friends of preparedness, is putting
the cart before the horse. They in
sist that before deciding as to out
lay Congress should decide as to in
come. Before giving the orders for
reparedness-what is necessary. and
what the cost will be-arrange for
paying the bills.
Both the preparedness problem and
the revenue problem are difficult, and
have caused divisions in the party
responsible for legislation. Many
democrats are opposed to prepared
ness, and would be if, instead of a
large deficit, the Treasury showed a
large surplus. They would not spend
a cent for that purpose if money grew
on trees. and could be gathered in
bushel baskets.
Other democrats are in favor of
preparedness, and on a liberal scale,
but are puzzled about the necessary
revenue. They realize that a good
deal of money must be found; but
where, gives them pause. A bond
issue looks easy. but they fear it
would be unpopular. Besides, the
President is opposed to it. But so
are taxes unpopular. and the sug-
gestion of new taxes has swamped
legislators in both houses with tips"
on the subject.
What cannot be cured must be en-
dured. But unpreparedness can be
cured; and if the country is forced
to endure it much longer, with dam
ger increasing all the time, those re-
sponsible will have a heavy score to
settle at the polls.

at the outset, reinforced perhaps by
drafted citizens, taken a similar
stand, the tragedies of the night
would have been averted. A mob is
a terror when it gets started, but it
is usually faint-hearted in the face
of a determined and organized op-
position. It is self-formed, settled.
It has no system and, as il this case,
only one thought, to do as much dam
age as possible and to get as much
loot and drink as the occasion per-
mits. In many American cities and
towns there is no adequate provision
against this sort of disorder. The
police are not, as rule, drilled in
mob-fghting tactics, and there is no
provision for emergency enlarge
ments of the defense forces. Reli-
ance is placed in the state militia,
which in almost all cases cannot be
secured for hours, having first to be
modified and then transported to
the scene of trouble.
This Youngstown affair should be
studied by the municipal authorities
throughout the country. especially
those where the mob-making ele-
ments exist in the presence of large
numbers of immigrant workingmen,
and the lessons of the tragedy in the
Ohio town applied in measures OF pre-
paredness against such outbreaks.

The East youngstown Mob.

Mob psychology is strange phe-
nomenon and causes some extraordi-
nary results. The affair at East
Youngstown, Ohio, illustrates the
manner in which the mob spirit mani
tests along unexpected lines. The
basic situation was not abnormal.
There was a strike in progress in a
town chiefly comprising the work.
men of the industrial plant and their
families, with the business houses
that cater to the local needs. The
strike developed conventionally, with
the employment of non-union men to
fill the places vacated, the picketing
OF the works by strikers, the heck
ling of these strikebreakers, the for
nation OF an armed guard within the
works and gradually the development
of state of virtual siege at the
plant. 1t was so ordinary that the
situation had attracted no attention
at all outside of the immediate vi
cinity.
Suddenly the strikers, emboldened
by their immunity from arrest for
minor lawlessness, began to attack
the strikebreakers and in the melee
shots were fired by the guards and
returned by the mob. The town was
taken unawares. the police force was
unable to cope with the situation and
the mob spirit famed fercely, and for
few hours swept the town. Chaos
reigned for a night. The strikers,
joined by women and even by chill
dren, went through the business sec
tiou, looted stores, fired buildings and
started a conAagration that spread
until it consumed even their own
homes. They destroyed and stole
property worth, it is estimated, at
least . million dollars. They defied
the efforts of the Youngstown fire
department to check the confagra-
ton. cutting hose and threatening
death to the 6remen. Then, in des-
peration. the mayor formed a posse
of citizens, whom he armed with guns
and pistols. and it required but two
volleys to break the mob into fleeing
e1osps.

Big Business and the Presidency.

Judge Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, denies two
reports concerning himself. He is
not a candidate for President, and he
is not grooming Mr.. Roosevelt for
the republican nomination for that
Office.
The first report might have been
left to take care oP itself. Judge
Gary is an able man, and in the do
main of big business has achieved
much-so much, indeed, that in the
political world he is rated among the
bugaboos. As a candidate for the
presidency he would fare about as
we'll as John D. Rockefeller. His
nomination would be disappoint-
ment to the democrats, for, as true
sportsmen, they should, and prob
ably do, want run for their money.
The second report had made some
headway. In fact, it is a question if
Judge Gary's denial will dispose of
it. The public-a little suspicious at
all times about maneuverings where
politics is involved-may treat the
denial as diplomatic or Pickwickian.
Naturally, the presence of Mr..
Roosevelt as a dinner guest of Judge
Gary, invited to meet company of
capitalists and politicians-some re-
publicans, some democrats, some bull
moosers-excited comment when the
news of the dinner leaked out. And
interest was all the greater for the
fact that the publication of the news
was unwelcome to both host and
guest.
Here was something to set inquiry
in motion. What was up? Judge
Gary knew that Mr.. Roosevelt was
under discussion for another term or
two in the White House, and Mr..
Roosevelt knew that Judge Gary, al
though busy man of business, yet
had time for a little politics on the
Side. Then the names of the rest of
the company suggested that politics
must have had something to do with,
if it was not the sole inspiration of,
the function.
Gossips put one thing and another
together, an5rexplained the dinner
by making Mr.. Roosevelt the choice
for President of an important coterie
of capitalists, with Judge Gary lead
ing. The explanation was so per-
suasive it was instantly caught up,
and it has gone far.
That big business will take part
in this years campaign is certain. 1t
does not like the present tariff law,
it hopes for some changes in the anti
trust laws, and it thinks that a few
changes in the new currency law
would improve that legislation. The
politicians are aware of this feeling,
and some of them are moving in obe-
dience to what they consider an op-
portunity to profit by it.

the democratic party. Both must
know that Mr.. Wilson's friends are
| expecting his denomination by ac-
clamation. So far as the public is
advised, they are themselves in favor
of that.
And yet nothing is palmer than
that the defeat of the President on
the preparedness proposition would
injure him in the campaign for re-
election. He has staked much, if not
all, on it. He has put it first, and
thus above all other propositions. In
that way he has summoned his party
to his support.
How strong the millennialists are
is question. They are claiming con-
siderable strength, and that it is
growing rapidly. The date for the
showdown in Congress has not been,
and cannot now be, fixed. 1t is Ger
tain to be some weeks, and it may
be several mop.hs. away. The COM
mittees are just taking up the sub
ject, and after they have acted will
come the debates in the House and
Senate.
Here, then, is notice sufficient
for the friends of preparedness,
whether democrats or republicans.
An opposition led by men of the
grade of Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Kitchin-
the former busy outside and the lat
ter inside Congress-is worthy all at
tention. 1t should not be underval-
ued, but met at all points with
courage and solidarity worthy the
cause to which so many of both par
ties and all sections are committed.
