London. Feb. 13.--ln the house Of lords today Admiral Baron Beresford drawing attention 10 the submlrine menace, and asking what measures had been taken to meet it. said.
 We have lost since the beginning of Rthe war 100000 tons of shipping. That is fact which the public should know, but it is not nearly as serious as it appears. We have made up the loss very considerably. Three million tons which have been lost have been more or less adequately filled
 "There is not the slightest necessity for panic We have done remarkably we'll and shall do a great deal better in the future, but We have had time to face it, and it is to that time that l desire to call attention"
 "The country, Baron Boresford con tinued had been informed in August 1915 that the submarine menace was well in hand. As far as he could gather it was nearer well in hand to- day owing to the new ideals brought to the admiralty tby men fresh from the sea who had had experience in this novel form of warfare and it's mysteries.
 in conclusion, Baron Bercsford. while acknowledging the submarine menace was serious. said it would not be fatal menace and he was con fident that in six weeks or so the nation would have the submarines really in hand.
 The Earl of l-ytton. replying Tor the admiralty. said the government would be glad if it were possible to take me public entirely into it's confidence, Dut that would involve impartins in1or' nation to the enemy and the admiral ty was determined the Germans should have that information by experience

STATE SENATE sTANDS
 UP FOR BROUGR'S VETO
Senators Declare too Much Attention Is Given Title of Measures and Too Little Attention to Really What Is Contained Within the Provisions of Measures.

Little Rock, Feb. 13--When the Caldwell bill, which provided for the payment of certain sums of money for the Kirby-Castle digest, was before the house today, it was defeated by vote of 46 to 43, after a very warm debate on tho floor of the house
 Both Garland county representatives voted for the measure.
 Charges that Senator w, F. Kirby and John T. Castle, authors of the di- gcst, had neglected their duty to lobby for the bill. were denied by the meas ure's proponents, and answered with charges that lobbyists against the bill for two weeks had been busy on the floor of the House, and that several were on the floor during the debate
 The fight on the digest bill began with representative Norfleet of St Francis coInty on the floor attacking t He was followed by Representa- tive McFerrin of Newton speaking in ifs behalf Repre- tigess R3pls 4Aa. Osborne, Ellis of Randolph anu Hard age spoke against the bill and Repre- sentatives Creekmore, Josephs and Vinson in support of it.
 Under the House amendments. which had been attached to the bill, Senator Kirby and Mir. Castle would have furnished 12000 copies of the digest, with acts of the present legis- lature incorporated for s per copy, and the State would have sold them for $4. The bill. as passed by the senate, provided for 5000 copies at $4 to fhe State, to be sold by the State for $75Q per copy.

and not through questions in parlia- ment
 All the eNpedients suggested by Ba- ron Beresford were being pressed for ward with the utmost energy tOgeth- CT with many others. he continued, even in addition to those mentioned by Earl Curzon on February r. Every device that human ingenuity could frame was being employed.
 We are the sea police of the en- tire world and Germany is playing the role of hiehwaymen, declared Lord J.ytton. We are confident that we can continue in the future as in the past. not merely to supply our armies al the front with munitions and sup plies and carry out our obligations to our allies. but also 10 keep free certain routes for neutral commerce and obtain necessary supplies for our own people
 All new phase of the submarine warfare was only a fortnight old, Lord I.ytton said that the counter measures put into effect already had achieved very considerable success and justified confidence in eXpecta- tions for the future.
 Lord Curzon adduced a set of figures which he claimed showed that the sit uation was less aeeravating than might be supposed He said
 Tn July, 1914. our mercantile ma rine consisted of 3,S90 vessels in ex- cess of t.600 tons each with a gross tonnage of 1r,S50.O0o At the end of last January the decrease had been only , to 6 per cent in gross tonnage. Admiral Jellicoe and those who have been with him are not dissatisfied with what has been done, even in the last fortnight. They were not dissat- isfied with the amber of German sub marines that wpuld never return to their own shors

So far no one has arisen to tell us why if autocracy is gooo in war, makes for national eftiCi- any and productivity, makes one field of grass grow where a blade or two blossomed before, 1t is not also excellent in peace.
 The point is however that the aalyati of a democratic nation al all times is not autocracy but more democracy. Autocracy is simply a handy means of conc2aling n.is' takes, covering up graft and grind, ing the masses. Those advocating It &Ie hypnotizeG by fallaciCus be- lief in German efficiency.

AN INTERESTING FACT.

The American Red Cross sends out in it's costly and voluminous news service fn item of moro than passing interest.
 It directs attcLtion to "the grow ing misuse of the Red Cross Elm blem commercially" and warns that this is a violation of the law.
 Apparently the Red Cross people are only just bcgi1ning to realize that patriotism like everything else has a nigh commercial value, and that the dollGr chasers with the in stinct of a fox hound on the scent fol it's quarry long ago have noted the fact
 Hence to promote the sales Of surdry commodities the Red Cross like the American or other flags, is made use of for the purpose of making money.
 The dis;ntcrested observer would very much like to know what mat ter Ol lue hlIu lo uOl oGDJSCl u abuse of similar nature. Not reli zion, not virtue, not morality, not patriotism-not any of these things but is taken hold of by tho dollar chaser and used to increase profits.
 Moreover who will be indignant Gs the dollar chaser who uses it as if anyone should dare to ques- ton the highest motive of the user? If the abuse of such things is not consecrated by precedent, then it is hard to say what is blessed by pre- cedent indeed.
 The mere fact that a law exists against this abuse merely makes certain of the existence of that abuse.

SIGNS OF THE TIME.

We judge that Governor Strong has reason to doubt the likelihood of his re-appointm ant We base without prejudice our conclusions on his moro recent appointments. all of which he filled with republi- cans or WickcT5ham men.
 It would be highly improbable that he would adopt this course were he rot satisfied that the de mocratic party has nothing more for him, for if may be assumed that the republicans have not a mono poly in line for any position which the democrats could not fill as well.
 It is pity in d way that the Governor has seen fit to pursue this course for it rather endorses everything those who have been after his scalp have been charging right along: to wit, that he was fore was not entitled to hold office as a democrat.
 In any event. however, in this instance the Governor has taken something like squ2re4jawed ac- ton and those who have been charging him with being guber- material mollycoddle might change their minds when they observe with what apparent deftness, firm ness and love of the work he car fill position after position in his power to bestow, with republicans or Wickershamites. In this he is | following his own bent In the per | functory fulfilment of his office as governor appointed by a democratic administration he is democratic enough. in the appointments where he consults none but himself he ii republican or Wickershamite: A! of the Douglas he may say.

Halting ! Big Crine.

The tune has arrived TOT every .serious-m.nded, patriotic American ac take "cte of the Mool ey case in San Francisco This week the Supreme cov,t of California has affirmed the regularity of the sen fence of death pronounced rgailat Mooney after a farcical trial. It si time to di miss the assumption that the mu3dc-ous conspirators raspOrs- ibIe for the crooked and corrupt verdict will not dare to go farther.
 Mooney is innocent of the crime charged against him. No one in san Francisco or outside of it whc has studied the evidence in the case has any doubt iIe is the victim of a group of wild men, controlled by the fercest kind of class hatred, who happen temporarily to be in control of San Francisco s judicial machinery. The testimony given against him is ad- mitted to be a mass of crude per jury It is contradicted by the most convincing evidence and by documents and circumstances whose weight no one challenges. The case thus appeals to every lover of law and order who realizes that 1t will go ill with this country when con fidence is lost in the courts.
 The accusation thus entered against the courts of San Fran cisco is not a matter of opinion. IL is a judgment entered by a regular cmpanelled jury. Against Mooney's wife was brought the same charge that was brought against him. The case against her was the same as against him. The witnesses who Swore that they saw him in taxi cab with suitcase near the scene of the explosion swore that she rode ny his side. The jury in her case rejected the testimony as false. Ii false as to the one defendant it was false as to the other.
 Mooney has been brought under ihe shadow of the gallows not be cause he is a murderer, but be cause he sought to organize a strike on the San Francisco street rail ways A powerful corporation whose record has been one Of cor ruption and crime, vowed to get him. Its detectives framed mp tbe testimony, controlled the dis trict attorneys office, and packed the jury From one end of tho country to the other there is no 2. labor unionist who docs not un ,dcrstand the issue, and if the con gpirators are not baked Of the1l prey the consequences will be so ,ci2lly disintegratng. It will b' said the courts Of this country ar' not just if the defendant is labo nnion!St.
 The case, moreover, has an inter national aspect. When the Amer ican mission was in Russia a meet ing to protest against the crim against Mooney was held. Tn leaders of Russia arc not likely t' have faith in Americ2 as land o democratic justice and freedom 1 Mooney swings They ascribe tn capital;stic prosecution of him a comparable to the race s2vagc"y O which we complained when Bcills was on ;rial Few are the Russian who do not know all about Moone and what his case involves.
