The Evolution of
Business Conscience Has
Been a Boon to Business

There has been perhaps, no greater
change in the United States. the last ten
years, than that in the attitude Of busi.
ness toward the public
There was time when few dollars
profit here and now looked much larger
and more desirable to the merchant than
hundreds, or even thousands in the iu-
ture. There was time when TO grind
down his workmen to the last extremity
did not appear to him as bad business
tactics.
His policy, in other words, was that OF
the old proverb regarding the bird in the

MR.. HUGHES AMERICANISM

A great deal more is being made
Of Justice Hughes little talk to
Washington school girls on Ameri-
canism than it deserves. In the first
place, he said nothing that he prob
ably would not have said if he were
not candidate for the nomination of
the Republican party; he said moth
ing that pretty nearly anybody, I'M
der the same circumstances, would
not have said in one form or another.
In the second place, neither in an
address to school girls nor in a proc
lamation to the American people
does Mr.. Hughes need to give an
oratorical guarantee Of his patriot
ism. No more does any other candi-
date that is seriously considered in
the field for the Republican nominal
ton.
The men before the Chicago con-
vention as material from which to
pick a nominee for President Of the
United States would not be there
and could not be there, if there were
the very faintest question as to
their Americanism. The Republican
party, either in peace or in war, is
not that kind.

A FAIR TEST OF SENTIMENT

A few pacificists are trying to
prevent public school children ap-
pearing in the preparedness parade.
They are trying to play the part, so
far as the schools are concerned,
that the eminent Warren Worth
Bailey, of Johnstown, played in Con-
gress. On FRIDAY will be staged a
hearing before the Board of Educa-
ton at which both sides will talk.
The pacificists had their innings
in the schools this winter. They
went about talking peace so strongly
that parents objected, in some cases,
and one prominent business man reg
:stered his candid opinion Of allow
TT peace propaganda In the schools
IN an open letter to The Times.
The preparedness parade is a pa
triotic demonstration. No one in the
schools, teachers or pupils, will be
compelled to march in it. But they
should have the opportunity to do SC
if they desire. If the pacificists
think the peace sentiment is SC
strong in the schools as to make the

THE RESURRECTION OF THE
"BIO-STICKERS"

Harbor statistics from all over the
country rehearse the temperance in
increasing numbers Of the 'big-
stickers" Of the olden days. No
steam vessel, no Leviathan Of the
deep, no speed merchant Of the seas
can compare in the romance and
spirit of the sailed waters with the
windjammers Of the olden days and
the tars who manned their ropes.
There is no place for the Chanty on
the trim decks Of the steam propelled
craft of today. The voices would
seem strange and ghostlike as they
reeled off the chorus Of a sailors
ditty, and maybe too fastidious Of
ficer would silence them.
The scarcity of steam tonnage and
heavy demands for transportation is
the sole cause for the temperance
of the square Triggers. They long ago
proved themselves improbable in
the ordinary conditions of commerce
and if some Of them are now earn
ing more in one voyage than they
cost to build 1t does not mean that
they are more than passing phan.

A PROBLEM IN SUBTRACTION

II you want to realize just how I'M
prepared we are in the matter Of a
navy take full list of our fighting
strength on the sea and then sub
tract from it the losses of either the
British or the Germans in the North
Sea battle and view what is left. The
engagement at Skagerak was not in
the least a conclusive one in that it
destroyed the sea power Of either
contender. But the losses of either
fleet would have made SO great q
hole in the naval forces Of the United
States as would have rendered her
sea arm useless weapon with the
surviving ships no better in port than
at the bottom of the sea. This little
problem in subtraction ought to be
performed by all the small navy
supporters.

BETTING ON. THE ELECTION

The New York Evening Sun takes
time by the forelock and declares
open season on Presidential election
representations. Before the entries
are closed it is selling books on the
race. After nearly a column Of
analysis it concludes that the Re-
publican nominee, whoever he may
be, will be elected. The South is
allotted to Wilson, New England and
the Middle Atlantic States to the
Republican nominee, and the decid-
ing Of the contest to the Middle
Western and Pacific States. In how
much these prophecies shall be
borne out depends pretty much on
the history-making of the next few
days at Chicago.

OPEN CARS AND RAINY DAYS

The annual report Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany came just in the nick of time
to explain one phenomenon. II
helps show why many folk had to
come downtown this cold rainy
morning in open cars. As they
shivered they remembered that, on
the sultry days Of early spring, they
sweltered in closed cars, and won
dered vainly when the open ones
would come.
Says the annual report Of the COM
pany: Fifty trucks and motors
transferred from winter Faye
cars to open summer cars, and vice
versa"
In other words the company Is
30 destitute that II cannot afford
trucks and motors enough to keep
both summer and winter cars in
commission. In some cities the
street railway lines are equipped to
keep their entire rolling stock in
commission all the year around, and
thus provide for the comfort Of pa
irons in any sort Of weather.
The surplus income Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com.
pany and its subsidiaries for 1915
the same report states, was $1,016,-
S86.28. When the company begins
earning a pittance perhaps it car

First Duty To Rebuke
German-American Plotters

Concretely. at the moment, our first
duty is to rebuke the people who have
tried to make this government the tool
OF a foreign nationality. The men who
have Joined themselves together as the
German-American Alliance or German
American Alliances. to brow-beat the
national conventions at this time. are
acting with moral treason to our coun-
try.
These men are anti-Americans; no
patriotic American can accept their help
even In silence. or stand on the same
platform with them in a political cam
raign and escape untainted unless he
explicitly repudiates their attitude and
their activities.
/ believe these men utterly and COM
pletely misreprcsent the spirit of tho
average American of German descent. I
believe-I know-that the average Amer
lean of German descent will support
the policies outlined above and that he
is n thoroughgoing. and I believe that
we can rally those Americans of Ger.
man descent by an enormous majority
In support of these policies. and In
support OF the principles of a thorough
going and unflinching and progressive
Americanism. without and within our
own borders.
