were pending with Germany. The re.
Ipcatcd lnsistcncc OF :he Germans that
We are not playing fair because We
did not spunk up to John Bun for his
disregard Of American interests, and
the frequent suggestion that Germany
was ready at any time to give assur-
ancos of better behavior if we would
first secure an Improvement in Eng
lish methods, tended to raise the in
ference that We were being impeIled
to take action that was not purely Of
our own violation Now that this in
ference Is no longer IN evidence, it is
the HrusH turn to do some apollo
.gizing and explaining. The immedi-
.ate proyccation OF this protest is the
British assumption Of the right to
seize international mail and censor it..
To see that nothing was transported
that could benefit Germany. The
British claimed that they had the
right TO examine such mail as went
through their jurisdiction, but the
weakness of their claim rests in the
fact that they forcibly brought neu-
trail mail-carrying vessels into their
Jurisdiction so as to acquire the JUS
tification for such censorship. The
recent note of Great Britain and
France covering this question took
pains to avoid any mention of this
high-handcd proceeding, but cmpho-
sized the contention that many things
that would give aid and comfort to
the enemy were being transported un-
der the disguise of neutral mail mat
ter and that they Wera therefore
Justified in holding up the mails and
sorting it over before allowing the
vessel to proceed. or course this
to exercising surveillance
that is not justified by the Hague
fact. it was a practical
assertion Of England's boastcd domi-
nance of the sea and consequent
ability to create right by the force of
might But no matter how much We
protest, that is all We can do. We
cannot hold over their heads The
threat to suspend diplomatic conuec-
tions, as We did Germany, for one or
the pet treaties OF that eminent
pacfst, Bryan, forhids any such pro-
cecdng. our only chance is to con-
vince the British Of their error, and
you can guess just how much chance
we have to accomplish such a wonder
as that.

their deliberations There is much
more than soctarian interest involved
in their decision to invite the amalga-

Methodist denomination. for church.
men Of all sects and good citizens in
general have been watching to sec
the dawning Of q better day in hu-
man brotherhood and religious unity
The day when we can look for ali

nature OF men to differ over their
creeds, and it is best that those who
do not think alike should have sepa-
rate organizations through which to
exploit the best there is I'm them, with
malice toward none and charity for

for the division Of the Methodist
church. The causes that split ii have
passed into history and are no longer
recognized as a point of cleavage.

Till POSTAL DICTATORSHIP.

The Southern Baptist convention
goes on record as protesting against
the proposed measure which would
give the postmaster general absolute
judicial authority as to just what pub
lications could and could not be per
mitte1 TO 80 through the mails. I'm
times past the dictum of the postal
department has been very useful in
boycotting many things that were
detrimental to the public welfare, for
when any kind Of periodical is dc
MED the use of the mails 1t is Just as
good as dead. Many confidence men.
sharpers and schcmers Of different
hue have come to grief because Uncle
Sans long arm has reached out and
clamped the lid down on their only
method of reaching their victims in
large enough numbers to make the
venture profitable. Lotteries, blue
sky projects, matrimonial agencies
and various other ways Of relieving
the gulliblo uf their coin or cf cap
ing profit from pandering TO corrupt
morality have met an unumcly end
by coming in conflict with postal law.
But when 1t is proposed to make one
man the law. the Judge and execu-
toner in one 1t is time to call halt
We are trcading on dangerous
ground. No man is good enough to
assume the role OF dictator Some Of
hcials in the past have shown them
selves to be tyrants at heart 10y the
manner in which they made use of
what power was already given them.
II is not so very hard. even now.
when a pos:m tster-Sencral tdkes a
notion to XIII some certain publica-
tion, 10 trump up some sort of
charge that viii appear to justify its
being shut out from the mails. We do
not want TO lose the safeguards that
the postal law gives us, but we do
not want to so TO the extreme of
making the head of the department
the court Of last resort. The posi-
biities of such policy are alarm
ing. What could hinder that official
from excluding any publication whose
religious, political or social views did
not meet his approval? lie might be
a conscientious man and use his
power wisely and for the good OF the
public, hut how many men do YOU
know who could be mfcly trusted
with that much power? We are get
