AN INADEQUATE MEASURE.

Someone has said that the Only
friends of tho United States are The
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. and 1t Is
a fairly trite expression OF our meas
urable isolation from enemies without.
AT the same time our coasts are our
weakest points OF defense al present,
owing 10 our insufficient naval
strength. The navy is our first line
OF defense. and il should be made as
strong and as efficient as possible.
And the question arises whether the
naval appropriation bill as ii passed
the House has met the immediate re-
ouirements. The most intelligent OF
naval experts declare that it has not.
IL is true that it is step, but very
short one in the right direction. The
bill has many 2rievouS faults that
should be corrected in conference.
Dreadnauehts should. have been pro-
vided for The deficiency can be sup.
piled BY the Senate if il is properly
impressed BY thai necessity for cop
ing with foreign power Of ordinary
efficiency.
One serious defect is the neglect
Of Congress 10 pay attention 10 the
recommendation of the experts Of tho
General Board. They were wholly
ignored. Then the bill would have
been stronger if some Of the personnel
legislation. which is TO be accom-
plished through riders, had been left
out. To be really adequate the navy
must be sufficient in every, branch CT
its personnel and material. The pres
ent bill does not guarantee this. 1t
leaves much 10 be desired as to the
personnel, and it does not add TO the
hardhilting battle line as 1t was hoped
it would In fact the measure stands
as a reflection of the general inetfici-
ency Of the Democratic legislative
record.

COLUMBIA MAY.
GIVE Up ROWING

NEW YORK, July 13.-RowinG as
an intercollegiate sport probably will
be abandoned ut Columbia university
in the near future. Official announce
ment TO that effect is expected within
the next few days and the resigna-
ton OF the university from the Inter
collegiate Rowing association probably
will follow. This action on the part
Of one Of the three institutions which
became charter members Of the Inter
collegiate, Rowing association in 1895
has been expected by close followers
of rowing at Columbia since the poor
showing of the local university crews
at Poughkeepsie on June II.
No formal decision has yet been
rendered BY the university committee
on athletics, but it Is understood that
a majority Of the members are in favor
Of such step.

PARTY OF BROKEN PLEDGES.

First We had the declaration Of the
Democratic leaders that the .Repub-
licans were without an issue in the
campaign Then with some slign;
consideration for the truth it was
grudgingly admitted that the opposl-
ton had only one iSsue-the tariff.
Of course all of this was mere blult.
Now comes another complacent asser-
ton from a high Democratic JOURNAL
istic source that there is but little
difference between the Democratic and
Republican national platforms. This
is amazing. as it is practical contcs-
sion that the President in writing The
ST. Louis platform copied the Repuo-
lican declarations made at Chicago.
However this journalistic analysis IS
meant TO be misleading. 10 distract at
tention from the repudating record
the Democrats made in ignoring the
promises and pledges they dedicated
themselves 10 III Tue Dd4tIIiip!e Pto'

stand out as against the lamenta5le

theirs, and therefore were not TO be
trusted. Can the Democrats ever get
past their revocation of their promise
that our pledges are meant To Re
kept in office as we'll as relied on dur
ing the campaign?'
What did they do? Well among
other things they pledged free canal;
and they established toll. They
pledged an honest revision Of The
tariff, and they have foisted a make
shift tariff upon the county that the"
themselves now confess must be again
revised TO prevent the dumping of
foreign goods upon the American mar

nounced the sugar tariff. and yet the:

A FUTILE MAKESHIFT.

One OF the most futile provisions
in the omnibus revenue bill passed by
the House Is that relating to unfair
competition, which is vain effort Of
the Democracy to substitute some
thing for the adequacy OF protection.
This comprises what is known as the
nttdunping' scheme. The provision
IS well worth study as instruction in
the subtertuges OF the Democrats TO
escape the accusation OF expousins
the protective tariff policy Of the Re-
publican party.

More than three-Quarters Of a
century ago an observant English
traveller. Francis J. Grund. wrote
his impressions Of the American
Navy.
OF all the institutions. of The
United States" he wrote tbs

through dimly, by this foreign
observer. It's nalionalism was
what most impressed him.
In The liberality that is now
shown for naval preparedness the
assumption is that this in itself
is a guaranty of peace. but there
is difference between preparing
for peace and exercising peaceful
functions. 1t is those funcnons
that seemingly arr overlooked.
They would better be called
police functions.
The navy is exercising these
police functions in some Of the
nearby waters. such as the
Caribbean. At the present time
to an extent that is not COM,

A SIP coward insuring this

The supervision OF the customs

The open adoption ny the United

10 the effectiveness with which
tho duties are performed by the
navy. During our military adj

1.-THE Republican party. But he knows
this is true just ss we'll as he IS &C
Eouainted with the habits OF the rising
and the setting sun.
In the legislature of 1911 which was
dominated by the Democrats, the mem
beers of that party to obtain record
Flor economy, which was entirely
fictitious, reduced the direct State tax
rate to one cent. but the same leglsla-
ture forgot TO economic on its appeo'
f6riations, which were out OF proper
ton to the revenues. The result was
that there were deficits in several
funds that had to be carried over by
Ethe Republican administration. Then
came the disorders in the mining re-
Sions in the southern part OF the State,
which with the operation OF the prohi-
bition law, created deficits amounting
IS TO over one million dollars. TO save
the general taxpayers Of the State Of
[bearing a too onerous share of-this ad-
Editisnal burden two measures we're IL
lHfoduced in the legislature of 1915
(which would obviate the necessity OF
an increase Of the State tax. We re-
sfer to the Duty bill taxing coal pro-
Eduction and the Pierce bill taxing the
transportation Of natural gas. Who
defeated these just measures? The
solid Democratic minority in the Sen
ate combined with few recalcitrant
Republicans. The majority OF the Re
publican membership of.both houses
supported these measures.
