Urges Charity in Judgment.

He urged Washingtoniafs to be charita-
BILE in passing judgment upon the acts
of their officials. pointing out that the
governmental heads are not always in n
position to publish the facts that would
make their positions plain. They are
not scheming officials and should be
given credit for their motives, he de-
clared. Similar sentiments were voiced
by Justice Sddons in bringing the BAN
quet to a close.
Those who occupied seats at the speak
ers' table included Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
S. Ufford. Justice and Mrs. Frederick

Possibility of Conflict With Italian

Consideration is being given by the
State Department to the possibility OF
a conflict between the Haitian treaty
now pending before the Senate and

Haitian governments and now await

ASSIGNS THE REASON
FORDRAST|c R.R LAWS
Former President Taft Says Action
of Corporations Brought Hamp-
ering Regulations.

NEW YORK, February 22.-Former
President William Howard Taft in an
address here last night at the tenth
annual banquet of the Traffic Club of
New York declared that the railroads
OF the United States have themselves
to blame for the ''hampering regula-
tons with which they find themselves
enmeshed."
'They lent themselves to the building
up of industrial monopolies by the
granting Of rebates against the law"
said Mr.. Taft: they took part in poll
tics and corrupted councils and legis-
latures. and they We're one of the ele-
ments in the community which threat
ened this country with plutocracy.
Laughed at the Law"
when a mild effort was made to
regulate them in the first interstate
commerce law of 1887 they laughed at
the law. fiouted the authority of the
commission. declined to present their
real differences in full to the commits
sion and relied on the delays in the
courts to defeat the purpose of the
law.
1T took the people twenty years to
secure the legislation needed to bring
the railroads completely under con-
troll in the act of 1910, and when any
one seeks to blame others for the en-
actment of that Legislation he is OBJ
livious to the causes that made it in
evitable. Regulation is. therefore, here
to stay, unless the more radical step,
and one most deplorable, of government
ownership is resorted to.

Problems to Be Dealt With.

Emphasis was laid on the fact that
this country must deal with the prob
lem of unemployment and also the
problem of pauperism. We must ap-
proach these conditions not as fan
atics, but from broad national point
of view. In the future the public
schools may be asked. he suggested. to
build their curriculums around the So
cial needs Of the community and to
deal with these needs from a positive
point of view. For example, the pos
tive method for curing poverty would
ishing crime the development of a
Ia W. abiding spirit.
Referring to the enormous expendi-

Laughed at the Law,
Regarded as Significant.

THE fact" continued Mr.. Taft. that
less mileage has been added to the rail-
roads in this country in new construc-
ton during the last year than in any
year since the civil war. in spite of the
great business that has been done on
the railroads. is significant evidence
that the conditions which surround the
railroads today halt the construction
of new lines"
Nothing could be more destructive to
the best interests of this country than
government ownership of railroads
The history of such experiments all
over the world demonstrates its lack
of wisdom

Why Germany Was Prepared.


If Germany was prepared for the war,
he continued, it was not so much be-
cause of her military plans, but be-
cause she had put in an efficiency sys-
tenn of education and a system of So
cial insurance. II England was not
prepared for the conflict as she should
have been it was not for the lack of
military strength, but because of the
intense bitterness of Industrial strus-
giles. Her elementary school system was
inefficient and her democracy had not
been socialized.
According to the speaker. the United
States is even less prepared along these
lines than was England at the out
break of the war. What we need in
this country, he asserted. is to create
sense of oneness and to identify our in
dustrial interest with the common in
terest. Social and industrial justice
is part of any sound political policy.
These things are part of any pre-
to play an honorable part in the family
OF nations.
We have need to learn. Or. Devine
went on to say. how to have peace be-
tween employers and wase-earners on
practicable basis in which facilities
are provided for discouraging real diff
ficulties and settling real grievances.
In this connection the speaker re-
ferred to the industrial commission.
expressing regret that this body has
not suggested what may be done to
stabilize industry upon basis of jus
tice and peace. What the commission
has in part done we must by other
means complete, he said Its problems
may have been too great for any COM
mission to solve.

SPEAKS AT BANQUET OF
MONDAY EVENING CLUB
DR.. Van Schaick Also Dwells on Ne
cessity Of Strengthening Social
Service Work in This Country.

Edward T. Devine, professor of So
cial economy at Columbia University.
who is to sail Sunday at the head of
the Red Cross expedition to Russia,
declared in a speech at the annual BAN
quet of the Monday Evening Club last
night that national aeparedness must
concern itself not alone with building
up the army and navy, but with devel-
oping the problems of social service.
The clubs social service program,
providing for the care of the feeble
minded, supervision of dependent and
neglected children, an effective health
supervision of children, atypical schools
use of school buildings as community
centers and a dozen other reforms
must be the basis of any efficient prep
aration to preserve national integrity
and prosperity, he declared.
DR.. Devine, who also is director OF
the School of Philanthropy of New
York, and DIR. John Van Schaick, jr
,, pastor of the Church of Our Father
were the only speakers at the banquet
which was held at Rauscher's. The
president of the club. Walter 5. Cnord
presided, while Justice Frederick L.
Siddons of the District Supreme Court
did the honors as POSTMASTER. About
200 members attended.
Whether posterity will have cause to
congratulate the present generation
that America did not become involved
in the great war across the seas will
depend. DIR. Devine said. upon whether
the people of the United States make
use of our opportunities to improve So
cial conditions in this country.

RENEWAL OF TONG WAR
KEEPS POLICE ON ALERT
Hop Sings and Bing Kongs Clash
at Portland, Ore, and. One
Man Is Shot.

PORTLAND, Ore, February 22.-The
police department is keeping a close
watch on Chinatown today following
the renewal yesterday of tong war
between the Hop Sings and Bling kongs
in which one Chinaman was shot and
seriously wounded. The Hop Sings ap-
parently went into retirement last
night and no disorder had been re-
ported early in the day. ...
Apprehension Caused.
SAN FRANCISCO. February 22.-
News of the renewal of the tong war
in Portland, Ore, caused much appre,
hension today in San Francisco's
Chinatown.
San Francisco members of the BinG
Kong and Hop Sing Tongs met last
week and signed a truce. Since then.
however, the Bing Kong members have
kept off the streets of Chinatown, and
this was taken to mean that the good
faith of the Hop Sings was questioned.
The annual banquet of the Hop Sing
Tong will be given here next Thurs
day, and as this affair is held in high
esteem in Chinatown the police depart
ment has not looked for any open hos
tilities until after that date.

try in the last fifty years, DR.. Devine
said it would be well If an equal
amount could be spent for public health
during the coming half century. Health
insurance, he declared. would be the
greatest safeguard against disease.
DIR. Devine's address was strong
plea for social progress along the most
comprehensive lines. and was an in

Washington as outlined in the program
of the Monday Evening Club.

Dr. Van Sckafck referred to George
Washington as having not only been
first in war, first in peace and first in
the hearts OF our countrymen," but also
as having been first in social service
work. He read from some of Washing

poor, but never to the extent of permit
ting it to encourage idleness
