SILLY CRITICISM.

~ HAT the mobilization OF the National Guard on the
Mexican border has revealed defects and weakness
co that are alarming and call for speedy remedie:
80 apparent to all, but 1t is equally apparent that some
criticss Of the existing system are ~indulging In talk which
not TO put too fine a point on It. is silly. Here, for In
stance, is a sample paragraph from an editorial recent,
printed in the Chicago Tribune.
a nationalist of another powerful nation would
die laughing II he saw what We are doing and die
weeping II he thought his country would try to do
Il. One hardly would blame the Japanese IL their
elder statesmen said among themselves: 1t is easier

headed and exceptionally well informed gentlemen. They

AIMS AND DUTIES

IT. HERE will be few to dissent from Mayor Bowen's
statement made to a reporte. for this newspaper,
that such matters as the revival of the freight traf
fc on the Monongahela are right in line with the aims and
duties of the Chamber OF Commerce.
That is the Idea held not only in this city but every.
where throughout the country where there is a Chamber
Of Commerce or a Board Of Trade. But sometimes such
bodies drop into ruts or lose initiative without which they
cannot be of any great value to the community. Then
their "ains and duties" do not trouble them over much.
And when that occurs communities are forced to look
about for other agencies to promote their proper devel
opment.
Our compliments to Commissioner Lehman. He at least
has some definite ideas about what part he should play In
the movement to revive traffic on the river.

THE RED CROSS.

TT HE Fairmont chapter of the National Red Cross
started with an unusual show. of strength. The
people who are behind the local movement deserve
to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts. It
is to be hoped that they will come close to realizing their
ambition to have ove:y Fairmont family represented upon
the membership. roll. The Red Cross is a wonderful or.
sanization. 1t adds to marvellous efficiency q broad sym.
pathy which enables it to dispense real charity at times
and under circumstances when anything but charity is
out Of the question in a way that leaves no stinr.

TO TEACH THRIFT.

n H~ARLEsToN newspapers say that the state de.
partment of schools has announced that bankers
and business organizations have indicated a will.
lfngness to cooperate with the schools in the encourage.
ment of thrift among the boys and girls, and that a cam.
paign will soon be launched with the object Of spreading
the doctrine throughout the state.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that this is news OF the
utmost importance. 1t is to be hoped that when the
Charleston authorities announce their plans every super.
%intendent and every teacher in the state will give them
their heartiest support. In making for c%ontentment and
right living thrift is second only to labor which creates
wealth. But unfortunately all people are not born with
the saving instinct. 1t has been proved however that It
can be instilled by precept and training and the public
school is a proper place for this knowledge to be i'm.
parted.

Meant 70 Fool the PeopIe

From The Pittsburgh Gazette!T.mes
Our citizens Of whatever political
faith will be interested In this straight
talk on the tariff commission pro.
yided for In the Democratic revenue
bill:
The tariff commission pleases a
certain element and does no harm,
Its tendency Is to postpone a
change in rates, and that is at
present desirable.
Those are the words of William ].
Bryan. They are important as dis.
closing the real value which the Dem.
ocracy attaches to o proposed instru.
ment which, II it does not promote
the welfare Of the country, must ham.
per IT. They are further corrobora,
tive OF in sincerity OF the Demoa
Gratis led by President Wilson. The
Democratic tariff commission plan is
Q trick to steal Republican cam.
paign thunder" a false pretense set
Up to attract votes. The Democrats
do mot believe a tariff commission will
DO any good. They are confirmed in
their faith in free trade. They dc
not intend there shall be change In
thesUnderwood law rates; their com.
mission would be a means OF post,
pontng amendments to the tariff act
REGARDLESS of the country's necessi
ties.
We did .notIneed Mr.. Bryan's state.
ment to show up the falsity Of the
Democratic procedure. The Democrats
killed the tariff board erected by the
Republicans and which was in exis.
teuce when they came into power.
they had no use for such an instru.
mentality then. They hold such In
contempt now. But for political pur,
poses they have seized upon a Re
publican policy which they will use
to frustrate rather than to promote
trnproyenentlof tariff legislation. The
Republican platform makes this de
clsration,
e.favor. the creation OF a tar.
IN commission with complete pow.
Or to gather and compile informa.
ton for thesuse Of Congress in all
mAtters relating to the tariff.
The Republicans will Great a tariff

DO no fooling the people to their ruin
when the Republicans return to con,

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY ri. 1916.
AMERICA FIRST
s5s LAW MAKING AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT.

>.NE Of the speakers at the annual convention OF the
Electrical Contractors Association Wednesday Of
this week declared that we are law crazy. To prove
bis point he said that in the last 10 years tho English
Parliament has passed only 1900 laws, while in one half
Of that time our national and State legislatures have put
e2,5b0i measures on the statute books.
on paper this looks like a pretty severe Indictment,
but that Is not the worst Of 1t. In England they conduct
their AFFAIRS on the assumption that once a law is passed
Il ought TO be enforced, while in this country We pass a
law and let IL go at that. The feeling that laws are made
Tor the other fellow Is entirely too prevalent for the best
interests of the country and. strictly speaking, We are
not q law abiding people.
When we get to the point where We are willing to
give the law the respect that It gets in some Of the older
countries there will be a let up in the food of legisla.
ton. Incidentally the voters will be more careful who
they select to frame their laws when that time comes.
