Police Court Judgeship.

President Wilson's refusal either to
reappoint Judge Pugh as Police Court
Judge or to appoint in the place left
vacant by him some clean and capable
Washingtonian is profoundly disap-
pointing and humiliating to the people
of the District of Columbia Whether
viewed as a national or municipal ap-
pointment this Police Court judgeship
according all American traditions and
customs, the pledges of political plat
forms, and the demands of equity and
wisdom, should go to local lawyer,
clean and capable, and thoroughly ac-
quainted with the peculiar system of
laws which he is to enforce. The ap-
pointment OF a Kentuckian as a police
court judge in New York city or of
New Yorker as police court judge in
Louisville would be unthinkable. The
36o,ooo Americans in the District
of Columbia are outnumbered by less
than score of American cities and ex
eeed the population of six of the states
They are intelligent, patriotic, law -abid
ing, as good Americans as are anywhere
found. Why should an appointing power

At War.

The United States is at war. It does
mot war for conquest or in aggression.
1t does not seek by force to rob an
other nation of territory, or trade, or
money indemnity.
1t has struck and injured no other
nation. It has itself been struck and
some of its people killed, deliberately
and lawlessly.
The same autocrntic government and
ruthless military despotism which has
murdered a few Americans on the seas
=. has been exposed or has betrayed itself
as threatening and plotting and conspir-
ing to effect the future conquest of the
republic, and the overthrow of the in
.dividual rights and political principles
. for which it stands.
Our war is for peace, for enduring and
honorable peace, in America and all the
world. Our war is in defense of Ameri-
can lives and vital rights today and for
full national security in the years to
4. come.
Government of the people, by the peo-
PIE and for the people must not perish
: from the earth
= Our war is of the kind which God
sanctions and not of the kind which
God condemns
Sacrifice and suffering may come from
it to individual and nation, but neither
shame nor remorSe
The call to arms in such a war hard
F.. ems and strengthens the muscles, in
spires the spirit and thrills the soul of
every loyal American.

Money and Elections.

This announcement is from Pitts
burgh:
30. D. Bleakley, republican repre-
sentativee elect from the twenty eighth
Pennsylvania district. was sentenced in
the United States district court here to-
day to pay a fine of $500 and costs for
violating the corrupt practices act by
spending more than $1,000 in his cleo
ton. He was indicted by a federal
grand jury in Erie last week. Repre-
sentative Bleakley announced today that
he had resigned his seat"
Here is a turn in affairs which all
should welcome. Doodle at the ballot
box has long been too fluent" It has
had far too much to say there. Men
have been elected to high Office whose
only claim to consideration was fat

nominations and elections. In that way
they secured what otherwise would have
been beyond their reach. The express
sions obtained at the polls were not

situations.

sea tonnage and transport of munitions
from points of production to the docks.
The armies Of the entente now at grips
with the Germans must be supplied, and
an important part of this work falls to
US. The supplies must 60 forward. The
entente powers should be furnished with
money and credit for the purchase of
supplies. More ships must be put to
sea carrying those supplies. The navy
must protect these ships and shoot down
| German submarines and hunt down Ger
man sea raiders by all means in its
| power. Anything the navy says it needs
| in this work will be given it as fast as
| money and skilled and patriotic brains
and hands can produce them. German
ships in the waters of the United States
and its island possessions should be
seized and where damaged by their in
termed crews should be repaired and put
to work carrying shell and powder to
help blast the German lines and pro-
visions to feed the men who are blast
ing those lines and make comfortable
the families and the people those men
left at home.
Armies should be built up here, but
in building them up the stream of NUM-
tons going abroad ought not to be di-
| minished. There need be no haste in
supplying vast stores of munitions for
our own armies. Their time may come,
but it is not yet. The German armies
are quite busily engaged. The German
| navy and German merchant shipping
are bottled up and probably the Ger
man general staff is not thinking of
putting to immediate use any long drawn
plan for invading and crushing the
United States.
The immediate organization of an ex
peditionary force of American troops to
France is gallant idea that stirs the
blood. but the weight of expert mill
tary advice is opposed, and at this time
civilian wishes must wait on military
ties decide that an American division
or an American field army should go to
the French front it will Co. Cannon
rifles. shell, cartridges, food and forage
are the things most needed now by the
British, French, Russians and Italians
on the battle fronts. and these supplies
should go forward as fast as ships can
be found to take them
Here is the epoch in which the United
States will take its place as naval and
! military power. Already it is the in
dustrial power of the world But be
cause of the peace-loving nature of its
people far too large part of the world
has misinterpreted its love of peace as
cowardiee. A rude shock is coming to
those who have so grossly misread the
character of the American people.

Strike Hard.

The power of the United States must
s.be exerted in this war. 1t must not
bring to bear q fraction of its power.
. but its full power. 1t should fight a
two-hsted war and strike hard. This
war IS no matter of confetti compli-
ments and confectionery. The United
States is at war with coalition of peo-
pies led and dominated by war power
which employs its power ruthlessly.
The United States will rise to this great
emergency. Its people are patriotic, en-
ergetic, spirited and practical. The
manhood and wcmanhood of the country
are sound. The government will pass
through this trial with honor and credit
and will come forth from its trial
: strengthened and triumphant The ma
tional spirit will be quiekened and
Americans of diverse views welded into
one big and harmonious family.
1t is no time for heroics or mysteries.
Stern business is ahead and it must be
done in business way. The navy must
be given what it requires and the naval
authorities shall be the judges of what
those requirements are. The army as it
stands today must be strengthened and
new armies created, and in these mat
tiers the voice of trained military men
I. will be needed. The munition indus
tries and related industries must be SO
organized that their product will be the
maximum. Food production must be
so stimulated and food distribution SC
:. regulated that want shall not be felt by
: those people who fight with us or by
our own people.
The first and immediate concern OF
the people should be the navy, merchant

Seizure CT the German Ships.

German shipping in the continental
United States and the insular posses
sions has been seized. The government
of the United States took possession of
the ships upon the announcement of the
passage by the House of Representa-
tives of the war resolution which had
received the sanction of the Senate.
Whether this step will be followed by
the conversion Of these ships to the
uses of the American nation is matter
which remains for adjustment. The tax
ing of these ships was measure Of pre-.
caution against their destruction or vital

| injury by their crews, and it is hoped
! that this measure was not taken too late.
Reports have been current that German
crews have disabled the machinery of
! these ships and in certain cases the re-
ports have been confirmed Some of
! the ships are public armed enemy craft,
| and authorities agree that no technical
question can be raised as to the right
to such uses as may seem fit. Some of
| the merchant ships are in way ships
of the German imperial government
with which we are at war. They are
! subsidized, are subject to the orders of
the German admiralty, their command
ers are officers of the German navy and
their trews are naval seamen. 1t may
be that some of the ships seized are
owned by German subjects, are not sub
sidized and are not liable to German
naval orders
The technical situation of these ships
under the provisions of an old treaty
with Prussia is under consideration by
the American authorities If any terms
of the treaty stand in the way of the
conversion of these ships to the uses
of the United States that treaty should
be denounced, proper ground for that
denunciation lying in the fact that
during the present war Germany has re-
peatedly violated that treaty, and thus
destroyed the mutually of the agree
ment. Secretary Lansing in his recent
note to Germany said that "this govern
ment is seriously considering whether or
not the treaty of 1928 and the revised
articles of the treaties of 1885 and 1899
have not been in effect abrogated by the
German governments fragrant viola
tons of their provisions for it would
be manifestly unjust and inequtable to
require one party to an agreement to OBJ
serve its stipulations and to permit the
other party to disregard them

Some heads are white as snow;
Some locks resemble glistening Jet,
And some resemble tow.
Some wisps are very thin and few;
Some wave in plenteous pride.
But none of them afford a clue
To what goes on inside.
A man may have a name quite thick

And yet be slow about the trick
Of formulating thought.
He makes fine scenery, no doubt.
