Laws TO Punish RevolutiOnists and
Political Assassins.

Congress Is called upon from all
parts of the United States to enact
MS soon as it goes into session Il
statute or series of statutes to Sup
press anarchy" and to render It
more difficult to commit such das-
tardly crimes as that which was
revealed when a number of bombs
were discovered last week In the post
office. This demand for new protec-
tions against revolutionlsts and as
sassins is natural; it reveals the
earnest and sincere attachment of
Americans to their form Of govern
ment and their detestation of violence
used to attain political ends. But
the subject is difficult to handle, and
the writing of a satisfactory law
affecting 1t IS n task no legislator
will approach lightly.
Already we have numerous penal
statutes for the punishment of MUIR
der, restricting the activities of
anarchists and providing for the
safeguarding of Government officials
and private citizens. Allen anarchists
are liablc'to deportation; in this State
It Is an offence to rent n hall to
anarchists. These provisions have
been part Of the penal law for years,
and several prosecutions have been
made under them. The city govern
ment has undertaken to supplement
them with ordinances regulating
public meetings, prohibiting the dis
play of the red flag, and in other
particulars. 1t remains to be seen
what effect these enactments will
produce.
At present two legislative commit
tees are inqulrlng into the state of

ture. These investigating bodies will

What "Preparing an Offensive
Means.

The astonishing display made by
the army in the Panorama Of Vic
tory on Fifth avenue Saturday after
noon has never been exceeded, If it
has ever been approached, in its dis
closure of the engines of destruction
and protection with which modern war
is waged. The spectators who watched
the strange and intricate machines
and the technically skilled men who
manage them saw what, to our knowl-
edge, none except the highest military
officers and few civilian Govern
ment officials had ever seen before
practically every device that science
has produced for mans use in land
fighting.
Even those who previous to the war
had the unusual privilege Of observ-
ing European man9uvres saw moth
ing to compare with this exhibition
except in the number of men en-
gagged, because many of the instru-
ments that passed down Fifth avenue
either were not in existence when
the war began or else were closely
guarded secrets of the military
authorities. That the same authori-
ties did not disclose ON Saturday
everything they had prepared to use
against Germany we take for granted,
but what they did show was enough
to exceed the imaglnings of all except
the most careful students Of military
affairs.
Ordinarily the public sees little or
nothing of the army except individual
soldiers or units smaller than dlE
vision, detachments Of infantry and
at rare intervals organizations Of cav

lost his mind in admiration Of the
work. The painting was recovered
years afterward in the howell where
he died. The house painter VINcENZo
PERUGIA, who took the "Mona Lisa"
from the Louvre, declared that he
was bewitched by the painting. and
that his motive in taking 1t was to
return 1t to its home in Italy.
The Metropolitan Museum had In
the present instance the good fortune
to recover most II not all of the arti-
Giles carried away. In that respect
1t has had the not unusual luck Of
such institutions. The occurrence,
however, must emphasize the impor-
lance of exercising the strictest guard
and the most exacting oversight of
the exhibits which are entrusted to
the museum. In a recent report the
management called attention to the
decrease In the number Of the guards
brought about partly by the entrance
Of the employees into military SER
vice. and partly by insufficient city
appropriations. 1t would seem that
the treasures of this institution should
not be imperilled by penny wise,
pound foolish policy that prevents the
employment of sufficient guards for
their protection.

ployed to feed, to support and to pro-
tect the men cannot well be intro
duced in review of the kind in
which the Twenty seventh Division
participated or like that arranged for
the Seventy-seventh. Consequently
the exhibition given on Saturday was
unlike anything that has ever been
made here before.
Saturdays affair was In fact an
epitome of modern war, cross sec
ton Of strife that engages not armies
alone but whole peoples. From 1t
the watcher, If he was not stunned
by the magnitude Of the machine that
rolled irresistibly past him, could get
an idea of the meaning of the
phrase preparing an offensive" which
slipped so easily from the tongue only
o few months ago. He could gain n
notion Of what every Government had
to do, of what every General Staff
had to do, to maintain the struggle
that lasted from August l, 1914, until
November II, 1918. But 1t must have
been beyond the power Of many per-
sons to realize the Significance of
the fact that what New York saw
In this monster demonstration was
only a sample of what the country
made ready to assure victory.
One lesson from this display should
not be lost on anybody. We have been
solemnly told that Germany Is build
ing motor trucks in back yards, ord
nance In village blacksmith shops, air
planes in remote wildernesses. No
body who was on Fifth avenue Satur-
day cal fail to see how preposterous
such yarns are. Products Of ingenu-
ity, skill and unlimited mechanical
resources are not improvlsed or put
together in barnyards or in trans
formed outbuildlngs.
This notable pageant was arranged
and conducted entirely by the army
The navy could undoubtedly produce
spectacle as interesting and in.
structive. The men and women who
saw 1t know where their money went
and know too why, though the vic.
tory Is won, we must still pay heavy
bills for It.

Choose the Victory Notes.

The United States Government has
got to have the money to pay its war
bills. 1t is going to get the money.
The American people have got to sup
ply it. They are going to supply 1t.
There are two ways for the United
States Government to get and for the
American people to supply the neces-
sary money to pay our pressing war
bills, loans and taxes. The American
people can take fewer Victory notes
and more taxes, or the American peo-
pie can take fewer taxes and more
Victory notes.
That's the choice. 1t ought to be
easy for anybody, rich or poor, to
decide; for nobody, rich or poor, is
going TO be able to escape more taxes
IL the Government cannot sell its
securities.
The Victory note is the best security
In the whole wide world. 1t pays an
interest which, judged by good stand
ard American securities, Is high-ter-
rif1cally high. 1t is as safe as the
foundations of the nation itself.
What are you going to do? Rather
than invite more and heavier taxes
upon yourself you are going to buy
Victory notes, aren't you, and have
the Government pay you interest?
Then don't wait. Do 1t now.

Mr.. Burleson's Real Status.

Senator CALDER speaks the truth
and nothing but the truth when he
says of the bitter attacks now being
made on Postmaster-General BURLE-
SON by many leading Democrats:
when Democrats demand the re-
moval OF BuRLEsoN they are demand
ing OF the President the removal Of
man who has merely obeyed the
Presidents orders-nothing more,
nothing less.
Probably BuRLEsoN has come as
near wrecking everything he has had
the management OF as any one could.
NO one man can entirely wreck
the United States Government. but
an official in high position can go
some way in wrecking It. and that is
what BURLEsoN has done with every
thing he has touched.
And every major official action
was at the direction OF President

PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
By Using Government Ownership He
Has Shown 1t Up.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
has been charged that the Wilson Ad-
m!nstration has done more to put an
end 10 Government ownership of public
utilities than any other factor. For
many years the idea has been spreading
that Government ownership would mIti
gate many OF our troubles.
President Wilson has realized this and
mayhap has worked out his own scheme
to check 1t. Having obtained coltrol of
many OF our public utilities under the
guise of war necessity. he has given the
public what they wanted. He has in
creased wages-the majority of the pub
lie did not complain: has granted the
eight hour day-a labor union desid
eratum for many years; has threatened
stockholders securities until everybody
has seen the fut!lity OF the scheme and
by practical demonstration has shown
the country that the touch OF Govern
ment to public utilities is the touch OF
death In short. by giving the people
what they want he has demonstrated to
them what they need. a, Il. PORTER.

No man or woman has the right to
apply a single test to a public man to
determine his fitness for public life.
Sum up his total activity, and IL you
md his intentions good in general give
him a vote of confidence regardless OF
what he has done in this or that one
on-essential or essential matter. Do
not feel that because a man disagrees
with you he must be driven from public

We women do not agree with some of
the suffrage so-called leaders that be-
cause q man voted against woman suf-
frage he must be driven from public
life If he has represented the State
efficiently and tried honestly to secure
the greatest good for the greatest num-
Der, that fact will determine our vote.
We want no petty revenge on any
public man because he did not think 1t
wise to give women the vote. / have

Neither do we believe that a repre-

Judging by the most unhappy results

and narrow escape. and our thanks are
