The Sinking of the Marina.

If the steamer Marina was not a Brit
ish transport, but merchantmen en-
gagged in general commerce, and if she
was not trying to escape when chai-
lenged by German submarine, her
sinking without warning was fragrant
violation of the German pledge to this
government, and the death of Ameri-
cans among her crew will stand as cause
of the gravest grievance on the part
of the United States against Germany.
Thus far the facts are only roughly
outlined in reports to the State De-.
partment. The British admiralty has
not yet formally ascertained whether
the ship was warned before being sunk.
1t is stated by the American agents of
the owning line that she was not a trans
port in the service of the British gov
ernment, retaining her character as a
merchantmen. Thus the question of criti-
cal importance is whether the ship was
attempting to escape when sunk or was
torpedoed without warning. If she was
running away after hating signal was
given her commander was taking a.
chance which, in the present status of
the understanding between the United
States and Germany on the subject of
submarine warfare, made her rightful
mark for the submarines missile with
out further warning.
Germany holds, and the United States
has in effect conceded, that merchant
man must halt when challenged in order
to gain the right of opportunity for
the escape of passengers and crew. 1t
is beside the mark at the present, in
view of the existing state of the under
standing between Berlin and Washing
ton, to suggest that the lives of pas
sengers and crew should not be placed in
jeopardy through the exercise of the
judgment of the commander of the ship
in an attempt to escape destruction. As
the case now stands, an effort to escape
is tantamount to resistance, and a re-
slstlng ship Is by Germany held to be
fair mark for peremptory destruction.
The fact that the Americans on the
Marina were members of the crew,
shipped as horse tenders, does not in
any degree lessen the gravity of the
case. Under the American doctrine as
set forth in its several notes to Ger
many on the submarine question, Amer
leans are to receive the full measure of
protection, whether they are passengers,
stokers, horse tenders or sailors. Nor
does the fact that these men shipped
specifically to care for horses bought
for war purposes lessen their status as
Americans entitled to the fullest protec-
ton of the flag and of the principles
enunciated as the American doctrine of
submarine warfare.

Consumption of Time.

Consumption of Time.
Have you met him-the fellow who stops
to explain
Everything that you have on your
minds
he will take up topic again and again
With intentions most earnest and kind.
No effort seems more than he's willing
to make,
In purpose surprisingly strong,
To talk, for your own and your family's
sake,
And keep you from getting in wrong.
The moments are precious-he1l squan-
der them all
In an effort to show you at last
How glorious future you yet may in
stall,
And avoid all mistakes of the past.
Oh, you're late to your breakfast and
late to your bed,
And maybe you're missing your train
And you don't understand half the
things that are said
By the fellow who stops to explain.

Mr.. Hughes on the Tariff.

In Ohio yesterday Mr.. Hughes talked
tariff. He was addressing audiences in
industrial centers, and that was the
appropriate topic. At Columbus at night,
where the principal meeting was held,
and where the attendance in point of
size was inspiring, Mr.. Hughes said:
'1t is no time for men to go through
the country saying America is ready.
It Is not ready. America has got its
Underwood bill, and there is not in the
ranks of our opponents any disposition
to change it. They have got their doc
trine to which they have adhered for
generations. They say, We will give
you tariff commission. I believe in a
tariff commission. We want the facts,
but they talk about the tariff commits
sion, as though it were a legislative
body, as though it had some authority
to pass tariff bills. They know very well
that they will sit in Congress receiving
the reports of the tariff commission and
giving such attention to them as they
may desire. If you want protection to
American industry, you have got to have
q majority in Congress that believes in
protection to American industry"
Notwithstanding all that has been said,
both on the stump and in the press, in
explanation Of the limited powers of
the tariff commission, the impression re-
mains in certain quarters that the COM
mission will in effect prepare the re-
vision Of the Underwood law when the
time comes; that Congress will be mere
" the agent Of ratification, accepting
the commissions recommendations with
out alteration. And that is called TAX
ing the tariff out of politics.
This, Of course, is absurd, as has often
been shown, and as Mr.. Hughes now
shows. The tariff commission will have
no legislative authority whatever, and
it will be for Congress to determine
whether its reports have any value
whatever. If Congress does not like
them, it can, and will, reject them, and
proceed in some other way about the
collection of statistics for its own in
formation
AhO 1idc uoI SCe AdmCu tlc
members Of the commission. He may
be waiting for the election returns.
Much depends on them. If he wins, and
another democratic Congress is chosen,
those commissionerships will be tempt
ing. As matters stand, the appropriation
for the support Of the commission runs
only for year. Another democratic
victory will mean a sort of permanency
for the work and higher salary rate;
and so-called experts may try for ap-
pointment. But if the republicans win,
it is inconceivable that, charged as they
will feel themselves to give the coun-
try tariff law based firmly on the prin-
ciple Of protection, they will be guided
in any measure by information gathered
and recommendations made by tariff
board selected by Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Hughes lays down an incontro-
vertible proposition in the statement
that If the American people want pro-
tective tariff they should commit the
task to those who believe in protection
and promise a law carrying protection,
not as an incident, but as a distinct
object

PREPAREDNESS PARADE

The suggestion that preparedness parade should be feature of the Fourth of July celebration is a good one The whole country has been showing it's interest in preparedness for self defense and the protection of the rights of Americans in this manner aaa there is no good reason why Juneau should not do i, also and there would be better time for such a demonstration than the Fourth of July. In fact it would be return to the old celebration of the Nations birthday
 Modern Fourth of July celebrations have strayed aiar from the old patriotic fathers knew. when the reading Of the Declaration of Independence the oratiou and the music-star spangIed Banner and other patriotic airs-were the cheaf features of the day In recent times we have been more interested in the hurrahs and the commerce Of the occason-the sports and hilarity and ice cream and other saes-than in the patriotic significance Of the day.

JoKE wLL gN oN wIcK

Not long ago it was reported out at the Westward that the Republican committee would offer the nom ination for Delegate to Congress to Al White, the Valdez hotel and moving picture The cordova Times referred to the report as a joke The Valdez Prospector retorted that would rather Al White Delegate to Congress than wickersham. The Anchor age Alaskan intmaed that the ProspecOr was pokins fun at it's townsman. Al White
 The Prospector commenting upon the Anchorage papers suggestion. said:
 wickersham's mouthpiece at Anchorage takes us to task for stating for Al White would make better Delegate for Valdez than Wick ersham. and of pokng fun at our fellow townsman But we not. We were absolutely in earnest when we stated that would much prefer White to Wckersham AL White has always worked for Valdez and Wick has worked tooth and nail against Valdez
 wick's attitude with the Alaskan Con- mission at Anchorage is fair example of his stand on Alaska questions He should be working with the Commission for the better ment of conditions and for the advancement of the railway but instead he tries every way to harrass them by stirring up dissentions in the city with his hirelings Wick has tried in every way to block Richardsons approp- riation. and is trying in every way to block the Commissions work at Anchorage. If that shows friendship for either of these places, excuse these remarks Al White would be for Valdez and he would be for the best interests Of the Territory. Wickersham has rat any time posed as anything but obstruction ist and hence his small influence in nation al affairs
 It may seem like joke to the Anchorage delegation that this paper prefers man that will help us to a that openly expresses his antagonism for Valdez but we have an idea that the joke will be on Wick before the season is
