Dollars Behind the Flag

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Americas largest bank has welded
together a new and greater ship COM
bination than any in which this country
has ever been financially involved. The
Morgan ocean trust" is only part of
this new consolidation which passes to
the Standard Oil Rockefeller wing of
our money powers. The business gen
ius of that group of financiers is
proVerbial. 1t has in the last couple
of years been notably active in estab-
lisfinS branch banks in various parts
of the world. And right here is where
the United States may count upon a
restoration of its flag to the high seas,
because the routes of ocean shipping
depend greatly upon the banking ia
cilities which shippers here and abroad
may employ. With the greatest of all
business concerns behind both these
newly created foreign branch banks and
also back of this huge merger If ships,
it seems likely that the Stars and
Stripes will soon replace the foreign
flags under which the steamers now
operate. And this is the real way to
revivify American shipping, through
private capital and private manage
ment. Government ownership would
only mean political waste and incompe-
tence, in addition to being an outrage
upon the best traditions of our land.

Free Speech VS.. the Flag
[From the New York WorId

NAS -NNN vi N w Iu.I
Professor Beard, of Columbia ITni-
Versity rises with some warmth TO de-
fend persons who revile't the flag. Sup
pose" he says, some one does say To
hell with the fiag!' what of it? This
country was founded on disrespect
and denial of authority. and it's no
time to stop free discussion now"
No one will quarrel with that state
ment. This is free country and it is
the privilege of any American to abuse
1t and its flag as much as he pleases.
But there is the material difference
that this is decidedly not a right to
be exercised on pubHc property and in
an auditorium that represents the
country of which the flag is the en-
blem. There is nothing to prevent dis
contented persons from hiring a hall
to express their grievances against the
government. When. however, they de-
fame the flag on property belonging to
people to whom the flag is sacred. the
question is no longer one of free
speech but of dsloyalty.
1t is well to get the facts straight,
If men want to consign the Stars and
Stripes to hell they should not attempt
1t under the very folds of the banner
that protects them in their contemptu-
Gus speech.

DIR. DRINKERS VIEWS

TVERY sane parent wants his son
T. to know how to take care of
himself when in danger. He
does not want him to go about pick
ing fights, but he wants him to be
prepared TO protect himself in an
emergency.
That is the view of DR.. Henry S.
Drinker, president of Lehigh Univer-
sity. who addressed the students of
the Technical High School Wednesday
on Preparedness" And that, if you
please, is all there is to prepared
ness" to know how to protect oneself
in case of war. otherwise we would
go ourselves and send our sons into
the trenches to be butchered.
DR.. Drinker recommended the sum-
mer military training camps to the
boys of the Technical school, and GER
tainly 1t cannot be gainsaid that these
training camps are better places for
the average boy than a summers idle
ness spent in town or in the trifling
amusements of summer resorts.

MEXICO NOT AN ISSUE?

THE Mexican question will not be
IL an issue in the campaign of
1916-if President Wilson can
prevent it. At a recent dinner in
Washington where the President and
other lesser lights of Democracy met
&c sound a key note for the canvass
OF the autumn not one word was
uttered regarding Mexico-and this in
spite of the fact that the dinner was
held on the same day that the news
came of Carranza's demand for the
withdrawal of our troops and that the
country was informed of the attack
made upon our soldiers at ParraI
There was much oratory about what
the Democrats have done for the
farmer and how they have done up
everyone else with whom they have
come in contact-but of the most
pressing question then before the
people, about the national honor
which Carranza's note had impugned,
about our soldiers slain by border
bandits and attacked by Greaser mobs,
not one word.
This is the typical manner of the
President in dealing with trouble
some problem. He thinks that by
ignoring it he disposes of it. If he has
his way Mexico will not be an issue
this year.
But issues are not made by speeches,
either in what those speeches contain
or by what those speeches omit.
Issues grow out of facts. The facts
of the Mexican question cannot be
isvaded or avoided. Mr.. Wilson and
his party will have to face those facts.
s Mexico will be a big issue in this
wears campaign, because out of Will
sons handling of the Mexican ques-
ton arises all the contemptuous
treatment which we have received
from the powers of Europe Wilson
may continue to keep silent about
Mexico-but his silence will be con-
fession.

MOT long ago, the experimental
IN work conducted by the scientists
of the Public Health Service in
San Francisco was interrupted by
their inability TO secure a further sup
ply of white mice and rats for labora-
tory use. The wife of a suburban
physician. hearing of the incident,
conceived the idea of raising white
mice and rats for the medical pro-
fession, and incidentally making pin
money for herself. She bought a few
of the rodents, set up a breeding es-
adjustment, and during the first year
made more than enough money to buy
all her clothes.
Rats and mice and guinea pigs are
in constant demand by universities,
hospitals and laboratories for expert
mentation, yet paratively few per-
sons are engaged in raising these ami
mails and the supply is always run
ming short. The white guinea pig, for
example. is necessity to every scien-
tlfc laboratory in the work of propa-
eating and testing anti-toXins. The
san francisco case is only one of
many important experiments retarded
because the animal needed was not
available. When the Public Health
service was carrying on its cholera
work in New Orleans, the surgeon in
charge was compelled to scour the
whole country before he could get a
sufnclent supply of white guinea pigs
to continue the experiments. This
proved very expensive, as the lowest
price paid for any was fifty cents plus
the express charges, and for some the
price was dollar apiece.
with this large and permanent
scientific market for animals, il is cur
lous that more people have not fol-
lowed the example of the San Fran
CISCO woman and started a sideline of
rats and mice or guinea pigs. AS n
business by itself. it would probably
not prove profitable, but the original
investment is so small and the amount
OF tune required so negligible that as
sldellne it could hardly fail to be
successful. Guinea pigs. for instance,

institute in order to enhance the in

investment, and now she uses the

MAYOR BOOTHBY

T\HIS is a tale of two cties-in
! real life-and the hero is Fred
eric E. Boothby, erstwhile of
Portland, Me, and now of Waterville,
that State. 1t is written to show that,
while being Mayor of an American
municipality is usually a thankless
job and often without recompense
save worry and censure, there is at
least one man who has been able to
make a success of the job not only
in one city, but in two.
Boothby was general passenger
agent for the Maine Central Railroad
Company when the citizens of Port
land began looking around for
candidate for mayor. There were lots
OF men who wanted the job, but all
OF them were about as well fitted for
the place as a square peg is to fill
round hole. Somebody suggested
Boothby. He didn't want the office.
Said he was too busy and that he
oidn't know anything about politics
anyway, and got the reply that it
was because he was busy and because
he didn't know a ward politician
from a precinct committeeman the
people wanted him. They said they
were tired. of politicians in the mayors
office. So Boothby ran and was
elected. Twice after that he was
chosen for the same place, which
shows what a good mayor he must
have been.
During his terms Portland took on
new life and so grateful were the
people for what he did in turning one
of the towns tin can commons into a
beautiful public park that they named
the new recreation place in his honor
and so it stands to-day.
But Boothby came TO the place
where he felt that he had done his
part and was entitled to a rest, so he
moved away from Portland and re-
tired with his wife to a pleasant home
in Waterville, his old home town, and
last winter went South on a vacation.
Hardly had he landed in Florida until
he received a telegram announcing
that his fellow citizens of waterville
had nominated him for Mayor and he
/ must Sonie hohie anu make lne run
/ for the sake of the old town. The
success of this, his fourth campaign,
is indicated by note in the news
! papers the other day stating that he
had just been inaugurated.
This all may sound like a personal
puff for Mayor Boothby, but it is
more than that. 1t shows that the
busy businessman often makes the
/ most successful city offlcIal and that

AN ADMIRABLE PLAN

TT is a good sign when City Com
missioner Gross, as the head of the
Department of Parks and Play
grounds. invites the former members
of the Park Commission to cooperate
with him in an advisory capacity. One
of the gravest features of the act
creating the commission form of gov
ernment was the fact that the new law
eliminated the volunteer bodies of
citizens who had given to Harrisburg
and other cities their best thought and
energy in working out the various
municipal problems. Under the cir
cumstances, therefore, the invitation
of Commissioner Gross to the former
members of the Park Commission will
be hailed with satisfaction by citizens
generally.
In the multitude of counselors there
is wisdom and we trust the ex-Park
Commissioners who served their city
so well will respond to the invitation
to serve as an advisory body.

the less politics has to do with city
office the better. Politicians playing
for place and salary may serve very
acceptabiy, but the man for mayor of
any wideawake town is one who has
made good in business, who has a
high reputation for energy and
honesty and a proper pride in his
city. Boothby's rather remarkable
career simply illustrates the point,
that's all.
