Picketfng Problems.
WASHINGTON starr.

1t Is explained by an official of the
Congressional Union, the militant suf-
frage organization, that there is no
intention to picket the Capitol when
the president goes there on his legis-
lation-guiding trips, and that the rea-
son for this is both political and ply
steal. In the first place the president
is held to be more directly accountable
for the failure to enact the national
amendment than congress and in the
second place the capitol has too
many doors and is too much exposed
to the wind. If it were not for the
multitude Of doors and the sweep Of
the wind picketing might be under
taken there, for the reason that if the
president is accountable for the lack

most appropriate to- admou1sh. him at

shown himself to be courteous and

extent of securing such an arrange
ment. But it IL worth suggesting
nevertheless. especially In view Of the
fact that early In the campaign the
White House guards on a bitterly cold
morning invited the pickets at the
outer gates to come inside to get
warm. This invitation, 1t may be re-
corded, was not accepted, but 1t

Mr.. Percy Granger, a pianist from

mean some train journey, the trip on
the unsufferable trolley, the endless

does he mean by that arid word our

means the latter, but is polite enough
not to put it so boldly,
In every newspaper, he notes that

he suggests delicately. that the read

more interpretations; but we trust he
means kindly. Imagination is a noble
animal The press Of the United

course, the results are unfortunate.

that he had to say that. He is kind.

Canvassing among those who have

men recently were tested, the startling
fact is revealed that husbands stand in
the way of economy-as for as the
table is concerned. They are not
nearly so interested in calories, lipoids
and lodging little vitamines as they
are in a good, square meal. The YER
dict on the diet experiment invariably
is: "Oh, yes, the menus are excellent,

CHARTER CHANGES.

Tonight mem bers of the Common
Council will have an interesting ques-
ton to decide although it is not GER
tain that their decision will necessarily
bind the senator and representatives
to their views.
At the informal talk held last night
in the Mayors Office nearly all the pro-
posed amendments to the charter, as
already printed in the Herald were
explained to the council members
present by the corporation counsel and
by Judge Gaffney and Mr.. H. v. Camp
of the Charter Revision committee.
The only recommendations about
which there was argument were those
which give the Board of Safety, or the
new separate Fire and Police Boards,
power to dismiss supernumeraries and
callmen without the right of hearing.
The charter revisionists take the
position that the discipline of the de-
partments requires that the commits
sioners be given power to dismiss
without hearing supernumeraries in
the police department and callmen in
the fire department who are lacking in
misdemeanors. Several members of
the Council tooksthe gfound that the
commissioners should be given every
power to penalize, including suspen-
sion without hearing, and that this
rule should apply Gas it now does In
practice) to the regular police and fire
force as we'll; but that dismissal re-
suit only after the accused had beSn
heard by the mm1ssioners.
The discussion was conducted in a
most friendly spirit and closed with
out any announced conversion of
opinion by those who participated and
the subject is now for the Council to
decide.
On nearly all amendments the Coun-
views of the committee including the
plan of establishing here a court of
unlimited jurisdiction which will keep
at home the adjudication Of certain
civil cases now going to the Superior
Court at Hartford; but above all will
enable candidates for naturalization to
be saved the heavy expense of bring
ing witnesses to the Superior Court to
appear there before the authorities
who by the new act may now perform
these duties here. On the particular
question of the power of dismissing
supernumeraries and caHmen lively
debate is promised in the Council at
it's special meeting tonight

Americans should go when their coun-
try s. honor is at stake.
There have been periods in the his
tory of this nation when men of other
nationalities were as sore picked as
those of German blood find themselves
today. Notably was this so during
the war of 1912 when the United
States fought for the same principle
1t may have to fight for in 1917,-the
freedom of the seas. Should the
worst come to worst and this country
be dragged into the European war
the foreign-born men who make these
shores their home will stand true to
their trust. It should not be expected
that there will be a great rush Of
German born citizens to start for the
Fatherland and add to the havoc al
ready wrought. To even suggest
such a thing is brutal. If, however,
the war is brought to these Shores
We will See how the nation can be
defended by the men who have sew
cred of their own free will, the ties
that formerly bound them to Euro
pean nations. The way is clear.

IMPLICIT TRUST?

When the confusion Of tongues
which took place at the Tower Of
Babel went into effect no living hu-
man being then saw what disad-
vantage would be wrought to nations
Of the twentieth century, especially
between the great powers when car
rying on diplomatic negotiations. If
there has been any great misunder
standing between this country and
Germany on subtle points Of diplo-
macy it has been primarily because
the language Of America cannot be
translated into the German tongue
with any great degree of clearness.
What is written or spoken in this
land takes on a different hue when
translated into the Teutonic tongue.
That is the one great reason which
may be advanced for the utter mis-
! understanding of the German officials
The magnanimity of purpose eX-
pressed by the United States has been
| mistaken time and time again. The
German Foreign Office does not I'M
'derstand the motives that prompt the
actions of the United States either be-
cause the German Foreign office does
not want to understand or because
the German language is not capa BILE
Of conveying the proper impression
after translation. We would rather
believe the latter case is true.
The one salient violation of the
hospitality of this country by German
naval officers Is seen in the manner
Of disabling ships interned in our

lations were broken off with Ger

Turns again home.

Clarksburg's Ambition.
(cleyeland Plain Dealer.)


Shifting State capitals by arbitrary
legislative action is by no means COM
mon. The most recent instance was
the moving Of the seat Of the Okla
homa government from Guthrie to
Oklahoma City, but Oklahoma was a
new State, and the people had not
become accustomed to any capital.
The shift brought no breaking OF
home ties. Other states, such as Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Michigan and Lou
isiana, retain small villages or towns
as their capitals despite the fact that
they contain great and important
cities.
Some may remember when Mil
ledgeville was the capital Of Georgia
and when New Haven shared with
Hartford the honor of being capital
of Connecticut; and it was compar-
atively recently that Newport ceased
to rank as one Of the capitals OF
Rhode Island. Ohio's change from
Chillicothe to Columbus was so long
ago that few Ohioans are aware that
the Ross county city was ever the
capital
A bill is now pending in the West
Virginia legislature to move the cap
ital from Charleston to Clarksburg.
Both towns are centrally situated.
Charleston has 10000 inhabitants;
Clarksburg 5000. The difference Is
not enough to be Of weight In state
that. possesses only one city of i'm
nortance. Wheeling, despite its loca-
cation. was the first capital of the
state. but was compelled to yield the
honor to Charleston. There was some
reason for the wheeling Charleston
shift there Is none apparent in the
nronosed shift from Charleston to
Clarksburg.
It is not likely that the West vir-
ein;a legislature will give serious at
tention to the Clarksburg proposition.

As to the Melting Pot.
wall Street Journal. }

The extent to which we ourselves
are in the melting pot, may be seen
from the extraordinary influence Of
Prussiansm in the Middle West, or
the utterly undemocratic growth Of
class consciousness among the labor
unions, many of them with a member
ship hardly able to speak English, and
certainly to think in English. In
other ways equally striking our A1neri-
canism is being modified. Is it being
improved? 1t is a physiological fact
that our educated classes are breeding
out, and we are actually repopulating
largely from the class we profess to
"assimilate" Within a generation or
two, is there not at least an even
chance that this class may assimi1ate

Russia in Alaska.
erie Tfmes)

On the maps the international
boundary between the United States
and Russia is drawn as running
through the middle of Boring strait
and thence straight to the pole. It
was established when Alaska became
American territory to separate the
known lands of the east from the
known lands of the west There has
never been any dispute concerning its
location.
A number Of years ago a party of
American explorers discovered four
small islands in the Arctic ocean off
the Siberian coast and hoisted the Am
erican flag on them in token of Am
erican possession by right of discov-
cry. 1t is conceivable that the islands
are rich in mineral wealth, ard it is
certain that profitable fisheries might
be established on them were they not
so remote from civilization. But no
one took any notice of the discovery,
and it was not generally known that
the empire of the United States had
been enlarged.
Now attention Is called to the frozen
islands by news that the Russian gov
eminent has formally taken possess
sion Of them, says an exchange. The
aCClOI IL pdSSu Ol Cno IaCL LnaC
islands are west Of the international
boundary.
Which raises the question as to
when boundary, especially a bound
airy drawn in the midst of the sea- is
really a boundary. 1t may be argued
that the boundary is established to
separate only such lands as are known
at the time of its establishment Lands
later discovered may, perhaps, be
claimed by the discoveries regardless
of their location. The Russian conten-
ton doubtless is that the boundary
was established to settle forever the
ownership of all lands known or I'M
known.
Fortunately the question possesses
only academic interest. This Islands
are not of sufficient value to warrant
a serious controversy. If Russia real
1v has her heart set on them 1t is un-
likely that the United States Will make
any vehement protest.
