Another improInptu feature was
the entrance of friendly canine, who
enamored of the music, the lights and
the friendly good cheel, refused to de-
part. He was therefore initiated into
the club and decorated with their co..

Consulting Congress.

Relative to the negotiations now in
progress between this government and
the government of Japan on the sub.
ject Of the difficulties that have arisen
on the Pacific coast, Secretary Colby
says in a telegram to Gov Campbell
of Arizona:
TT is our intention to avail our
selves of the aid OF the informal dis
cussion with members of the Senate
and House committees who are
charged with responsibilities in this
connection. The negotiations, which
are informal and tentative. have not
however. as yet reached the point of
discussion and of formal considera-
ton"
This is assuring news. With the
President and the Congress in con.
sultation. and. of course, working to.
Eether in behalf Of preserving peace
between the two countries. the cloud
that has arisen between Japan and
America should disappear.
In all such matters the President
and the Congress should work to.
gether. The responsibility is joint
Our foreign relations. always delicate,
were never more delicate than now.
A widespread spirit of distrust exists.
All nations are manifesting it.
The suggestion is pat enough that
if the President had taken this course
in the matter of the peace treaty, he
and the country, and indeed Europe,
would have escaped good deal of
trouble. An inquiry by him before
he left for France, or even after his
arrival there. would have revealed to
him the Senate's sentiment as to peace
and the preservation Of peace; and he
already knew that his work as a ne.
Gotiator would be subject to review
by that body. His failure, or his re.
fnsal. to consult the Senate produced
the clash, which still continues.

Pedestrians and Street Rights.

When all is said on the score OF the
relative responsibility Of pedestrians
and motorists the fact remains that
there are many more pedestrians than
motorists, and that the pedestrians
were the first corners in the streets.
The streets were originally designed
for the use Of the people who walk,
for walking was practically the only
means Of movement. In the develop.
ment OF vehicular traffic there was
never a time when there were more
people on wheels than on foot, and to.
day. notwithstanding the great number
" motor cars-actually far more than
needs require-there are more people
walking than riding.
The regulation of traffic should,
therefore, be effected with considera.
ton for the greatest number. II the
streets are to be made dangerous nv
unrestrained traffic movement or re.
stricted through regulations affecting
mainly the pedestrian, the movement
Of the people on foot will be greatly
slowed. Despite the facilities afforded
by street cars majority of the peo
pie still so about their daily courses
afoot. and it is essential that they be
enabled TO do so quickly and safely
There is one other consideration
that is to be borne in mind. The pc
destrian is the chief victim Of traffic

motor wrecks in which motorists are
killed and injured occur outside OF
the urban areas. where the pedes

Second to None"

Senator New knows Of no purpose
to transfer him to cabinet office. He
expects to remain where he is, and
viii continue the activities which have
marked his course in the Senate.
The senator's interest is keen in
aeronau tics, and he wants the air serv
ices U the Army and the Navy con
solidated. He is quoted as follows on the
subject: II propose that the United
States shall be second to none in the
matter Of aeronautics."
An excellent proposition. And why
should it not be applied to every fea
ture OF our preparedness for war
Why should great nation like Amer.
tca--one Of the greatest-be second
to any in any matter connected with
armed hostilities on land or sea?
America is not seeking hostilities-
is not spelling for fight She
favors peace as ardently as any ma.
ton, and within the prescriptions OF
her institutions is willing to contrib
ute as much as any nation toward Sc.
curing and preserving peace.
But no practical man Of reading and
observation believes that hostilities on
a large and destructive scale are al
an end in this strenuous world. Sub
jects Of contention still abound, and
man, for all his recent appalling ex
perience. remains contentious ami
NAL.
Since hostilities are likely, then
almost certain, indeed-why not be
prepared for them? What greater
duty devolves on those charged with
considering and providing for the pub
lie safety?
Economy Is the word, and a very
proper word. and it should be needed
But there is no economy in unpre
paredness. as we have just learned al
a frishtful cost in both blood and
treasure. Now is the time to prepar re
for future eventualities.

never be forgotten that whatever the

Foot Ball Casualties.

Foot ball fatalities during the sea
son just closed have been recorded
to a total Of eleven. or about the aver
age for the past six years. There
were six deaths in 1919, ten in 1918,
twelve in 1917. eighteen in 1916 and
fifteen in 1915, total of seventy.two
in six years, or an average Of twelve.
The diminution of deaths in 1917.
1918 and 1919 was probably due to
the war and the reaction from it. 1t
is to be hoped that the rise from six
to eleven from last year does not sig
nifty that the fatalities will again
mount to the pre-war rate.
1t Is recorded that most Of the foot
ball deaths in recent years have &C.
Cured among young players, chiefly
members Of high school teams, who
are not 50 we'll trained as college play
ers, and are. therefore, more liable
to injury and. it is probable, more
liable to inf1ict injury. II that Is the
case surely the rules of the game,
which can be modified to lessen the
dangers. should be changed to conform
to high school conditions Of training
and experience.
IS 1t seems unnecessarily hazardous to
subject the junior school boys to this
risk in order that they may qualify
for collegiate foot ball with its smaller
percentage Of danger.
The sacrifice of seventy-two lives
to this sport in six years indicates
that, however the rules have been
changed for the better, there still re.
mains too serious risk to the youth
of this country. The eleven deaths
that occurred this season represent an
absolute waste of promising life.

Small Securities for the People.

Announcement Is made that the
Treasury will probably soon declare an
issue Of 81 savings stamps and $25
loan certificates, each maturing in
five years. These issues. If author
lied, will be in extension of the exist
ing methods Of enrolling the people
of small means among the nations
creditors. The present savings stamp
is of IS denomination, to which the
thrift stamp Of % cents is but a con.
if the denomination is changed to 81
more people will purchase. The short
term certificates now issued by the
Treasury are in larger denominations
than the public generally wishes to
buy and run for short periods. They
are acceptable to the banks and to
other large financial interests. but for
the average person they are not q
suitable investment. The present
proposition Is to issue these $25 Ger.
tificates on a five.year maturity basis.
thus overcoming the objection which
many persons have to the three.
month certificates, which require fire..
quent renewal.
II an attractive rate of interest is
offered on the certificates they will
probably command a strong public
support. The wartime interest rates
paid by the government were much
higher than those that obtained pre-.
viousiy, but they were not comparable
for attractiveness to those that were
offered in private issues. which ran
to and s per cent. These high.rate
private securities were of substan.
tial character and drew public sup
port in abundant measure. A S per
cent rate may be necessary for the
government to elicit a large degree of
public buying of the small-denomina-
ton, five.year certificates.
It is desirable that the people at
large invest in government securities.
They did SO during the war, when, it
is estimated. 20,000,0 900 persons bought
bonds. Many of those purchasers
have since sold their holdings, owing
to stringency, to apprehension in the
face of the falling market quotations,
and in some cases to extravaganza.
But the majority Of the original war
time bond buyers have held their Ger.
tificates. If now they are offered five
year bonds, or certificates, at slightly
better interest rate than they are get
ting for their war time securities. they
are likely to respond to the oppor-
tunity and buy largely Of these new
issues.
