Our Demoralizing Town.

Judge William B. Sheppard, of Pensa-
cola, Fla, whom fate assigned to sit in our
United States District Court for a spell,
doesn't like the customs of our town. New
York is not a place Calculated to breed
good morals" is his obiter dictum. "The
way a man is held up in New York City for
taxcab fares and hotel charges, l can
hardly blame him for trying to put one
over once in a while" he declared, cour-
teously defending two smugglers at the
bar.
We have heard an abundance Of such
sentiments in the past-though seldom
from the bench, and never in extenuation
of smuggling, that we can recall. It is the
way of certain visitors to New York to
look for wickedness in our town and, look
ing, find it. AS in the case Of Paris, the
industry of entertaining visitors is an ac-
tive and profitable one, and its vagaries are
far more conspicuous than any purely local
doings. New York is not only New York,
but playground for Pensacola and points
North and West. If it is not in all things
exactly as we and Judge Sheppard should
like to gee it, this extenuating fact must
be respectfully pleaded.
Take the specified items Of taxicab fares
and hotel charges. Goodness knows how
reasonable and obliging and comfortable
these services would be if ready money
from Pittsburgh and the powder belt was
not pouring in to spoil them. When it
comes to other items, such as streetcars
and shops, wherein local New Workers fur
nish the controlling patronage, the truth
comes out. Our town there shows as hon
est and efficient as the best small town you
can name; and very fairly registers the
moral standards of its residents.

U-Boat Rights and American Policy

Secretary Lansings memorandum con-
corning the treatment to be accorded to
submarines entering American ports is
thoroughly sound and logical. The United
States is debarred for two reasons from
accepting the joint suggestion Of the Allied
powers that submarines be excluded from
the benefit Of the established rules of in
ternational law governing the admission of
war and merchant vessels into neutral
waters. roadsteads or harbors.
In the first place our government has
rightly adhered to the principle that the
rules Of warfare at sea ought not to be
changed during the progress Of war. If
one change is admitted at the behest Of one
group Of belligerents another compensat-
ing change may be plausibly demanded by
the rival group. If neutrals consent to one
departure from the recognized code, they
throw down the bars to all sorts of de-
partures and there is danger of the whole
structure of international law falling in
a heap.
a
tor in naval warfare. But it is essential
nevertheless, that they be dealt with under
the rules governing other war and mer-
chant ships. There is at present no posi-
bility Of securing that general consent to
new and special rules for undersea boats
which should precede any modification of
existing international law.
In the second place our government has
maintained with great vehemence in all its
notes to Germany on the conduct of sub
marine operations that the submarine
ought to abide by all the limitations of So
called Cruiser warfare" If we insist that
U-boats must be classified as cruisers when
they engage in commerce destroying, we
must give them all the privileges of cruis-
ers when they enter our waters and ports.
We have laid down principle in the Lusi-
tania correspondence from whose applica-
ton in our treatment of the submarine
when a guest in our harbors we cannot
possibly escape.

having retreated completely in his men,

Sir: The American habit of refusing to
credit Great Britain with any good inten-
tons in her dealings with the world has
been so well fostered recently by the insn-
uations of President Wilson that one wonders
with amazement whoever coined the phrase
that Wilson was pro-Engish. The fact that
England has had a hand in teaching a large
part of the world the true meaning of free
dom, and that some of the worlds greatest
examples Of that teaching-Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, etc.-are assocating themselves
with her in her fight against the Central Pow
ers, seems to President Wilson, according
10 his true American spirit, an appropri-
ate time to advertise his own special brand
Of freedom by slamming in true American
fashion the brand that at least has been tried
and accepted by large part OF the world,
but stands in some danger of being ruth
lessly destroyed by brgands and other evil
workers OF the devil
To have ones competitors put out of bust
ness seems the great and one absorbing hope

nent. American "Kultur" and the German type

King George III twenty thousand soldiers to

Russia put its eapscious foot down upon

Prevalent, but Still Unsupported.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In review of my book in The Trib-
une few days ago writer found fault with
the fact that in my book stated that Judge
fancy, In tho bred Scott decision, said: "A
negro has no rights which q white man is
bound to respect" But he admits that such
view is prevalent, and | am now inclosing
an extract from Judge Taney's decision in
the bred Scott case. The extract from the
opinion shows the exact language used, which
surely justifes the prevailing opinion:
Neither does it apply to a person who, be-
ing a citizen of a state, migrates to another
state, for then he becomes subject to the
law of the state in which he lives, and he is
no longer citizen Of the state from which
he removed, and the state in which he re-
sides may then, unquestionably, determine
his status or condition and place him among
the class of persons who are not recognized
as citizens, but belong to an inferior and
subject race, and may deny him the privilege
and immunities enjoyed by its citizens"
