Some Neighbor's Bow.

Many young men who have exuress-
"a their patriotism by donning the
khaki are in training near Washing
on prior to engaging in a struggle
that means everything to them and
TO their country.
The assembling of so many men,
the mere caring for their physical
needs, is tremendous task demand
ing the best attention of the most eff
iicient officers. That those in charge
will live up to our expectations of
them is conceded.
But there is a side to every mans
life likely to be more or less over
looked. namely the conserving of their
manhood. Energy, not under res
traint, runs riot. The discipline of the
camp makes men. but the absence Of
discipline when on leave leaves men
open to opportunities which often lead
TO eXcesscs.
The Herald would wish above all
else that these young men should go
from the Capital of the nation phys
ically perfect and free from the
contagion OF loose living. For this
reason it commends the services be-
ing rendered to enable these young
men, many away from home for the
first time, to preserve the qualities
of youth that are worth while. The
Herald urges on Washington people
the need Of caring for these brave
boys who are willing to make the great
sacrifice that humanity may be saved.
If We were asked to be more prac-
tical we would say: open your
homes to your friends" be. mind
full of someone else's son. give
aid and support to the Y. NJ. C. A"
do what you can to discourage vice"

But first and always remember that
no sacrifice is worth while unless the
heart beats to the tune of a pure pa
triOtism.

A STAGGERING QUESTION.

evidence that there had been re-
stored friendly relations between
the Secretary and President Van
derlip. And IL cordial relations had
been thus established with one of
the influential leaders in the finan-
cial district then 1t was presumed
that the Secretary had changed
front so that he now proposes TO
maintain confidence in and cordial
association with what is called
Wall Street
Yet there was mistaken i'm
preston, or at least partially
mistaken view respecting tho re-
lations between Secretary McAdoo
and President Nanderlip as well as
other leaders in financial districts.
1t is emphatically said at the Ma
tional City Bank at the time of the
disagreeable affair between the
Riggs National Bank at Washing ION
and the Treasury Department. that
no blame was imputed to Secre-
tary McAdoo. 1t was upon another
officer of the Treasury Depa rtment
that the antagonism of the bankers
of New York was centered.
All of the bankers have recognized
that a secretary of the treasury is
for prudential reasons obliged to
maintain a sort of isolated attitude
towards the leaders in finance and
banking. 1t has always been so. all
though secretaries of the treasury
have in times of emergency con-
suited with Wall street bankers
Consultations of that kind were held
by Secretary Chase in Lincoln's ad-
and later by John Sher-
man, secretary of the treasury in
Hayes administration. Secretary
Carlisle, in Cleyelands second ad-
was several times in
conference with New York bankers
it has always been
deemed eXpedient, not for dema-
gogic reasons, but as a matter of
policy, that the Secretary OF the
Treasury maintain perfect indcpen-
dence. although that sometimes
caused impairment of friendships.
a few months ago one of the lead
ing bankers, not only of New York
but of the world. said in private con-
that Secretary McAdoo de-
served high credit for the manner
in which he has conucted the Treas
ury Department. especially since the
beginning Of the war. For although
the Secretary may have made some
judgments which were not the best,
yet these mistakes were due to the
fact that there was suddenly i'm
posed upon him stupendous obliga-
tions for the meeting of which there
were no precedents.

SOMETHING WORTH WHILE.

happened in one of the Southern
States.
One afternoon an elderly woman
visited the state penitentiary. and

told that the inmate had been i'm

Degrading the Uniform.

1t is very pleasing to note that
the courts of the District are not
going to encourage the spirit of
military overbearance that has be-
come slightly evident in this city.
Yesterday an officer was COM
PEELED to pay a stiff fine for violat-
ing traffic regulations. His punish
ment would probably have been
much lighter but for the manner in
which he acted in court. He seem
ed to be laboring under the impress
sion that his uniform gave him the
right to break any of the laws of
the city with impunity. But he was
undeceived.
a similar case happened a few
weeks ago when an army. officer
preferred charges against a police
man because the latter would not
allow the officer to violate traffic
regulations. The trial board dis
missed the case against the police
man when the evidence showed that
he was doing his duty.
In a previous editorial The Her
aid called attention to this phase of
militarism which had appeared in
Washington and suggested that the
Secretaries of War and Navy issue
instructions telling army and navy
officers just what their uniform
means. We repeat the suggestion
now. for it is a shams that the uni
form should be used in a manner
that savors of Prussianism.

frankne.s from the President.

In letter to Max Eastman. editor
Of THE Masses" Socialist publica-
tioR which has been excluded from

ances. the President says:
II think that a time OF war must
be regarded as wholly exceptional.
and that II is legitimate to regard
things which would in ordinary cir
cumstances be innocent as very dan
gerous to the public welfare. But
the line (relating to freedom OF
speech) Is exceedingly hard to draw

eonfidepce that I know how to draw

dice"
Here Is an engagingly frank adj
mission that the whole question in
volved in the censorship clause of
the trading with the enemy act Is
so delicate that 1t battles even the
acute intellect of the President. There
will be no dissent from the dictum
that "a line must be drawn some
where between a free press and a
seditlous, disloyal press. 1t Is clear
that he intends that line to be drawn
only with the greatest circumspec.
tion and deliberation. We hope he

IN this connection the New Republic
says:
