Army and Navy.

The country is giving attention to
what trained soldiers of distinction
are saying about Army questions, and
what trained sailors of distinction are
saying about Navy questions. Let US
hope the attention continues, and that
Congress in dealing with all such
questions shows equal respect for pro-
fessional opinion.
In the days-not so long antedating
the war-when preparedness on land
and water was often the theme of dis
cussion, professional opinion was
fouted, and sometimes roundly de-
nounced, both in Congress and out.
Soldiers and sailors who advocated pre-
paredness were accused of selfishness.
They wanted larger fighting estab-
lishnent, in the hope Of more employ
ment, with attendant promotions
and higher pay. Beware Of them and
all they cOunseled. Their ways were
ways of turbulence and all their paths

his name; that he would "set the
pegs" in dealing with the issues that
have arisen and are now plagulng
timid and irresolute men. And so on.
E4ualiy confident are other tavern
and curbstOne wiseacres that if Mr.:
Lincoln were living he would refuse
fellowship with the men who nov call
themselves republicans; that he would
be 4 radical of radicals; that his plans
for dealing with the present problems
would lean far away from the plans
that the coming j.. Chicago convention
will discuss, and probably adopt, and
run close to and parallel the plans of
men considered dangerous to the coun-
try by both of the old parties. And
SD on.
This sort of speculation lands the
shade of Mr.. jefferson and the shade
of Mr.. Lincoln in the same party. In
deed, if shades were eligible, these
two might be used to form national
ticket for third party. Say Jeffer-
son and Lincoln, or Lincoln and JEFF
fers0n.
1t is all very well. 1t serves at least
for entertainment. There is no law
against appropriating shade and do
ing with it what one wills. 1t is not
grave robbing-not body -snatching-
but an old and familiar practice, in
which many persons of lively fancy
have INDUCED, and which lends itself
to wide sweeps and any number of
combinations.

| it was alleged, were munition makers,
seeking increased business and larger
profits. Theirs was strictly the COM
mercial notion of things. Beware of
.hem. Pelf, not patriotism, inspired
their course.
At that time we had practically no
Army, and too small a Navy. For
eigners who knew the situation Won
dered at our shortsightedness or indif-
ference. What could so rich cOun-
try, with such enormous resources, be
thinking about' Why could it not see
that such unproteetedness was a sort
of invitation to trouble?
But the country could not see, or
be brought to see, the real situation.
There was no lack of money. Pros
perity abounded, and taxes were low.
A niggardly spirit possessed neither of
the political parties. Still, whenever
the subject of erlarging and strength
ening the Amy or the Navy estab-
Iishment was brought up, the slurs
on Army men and Navy men and on
munition IN akers we're repeated.
The war came, and thoroughly JUS
tilted all the advice that had been
offered on the subject of preparedness.
Considered in connection with our ne
eessities and obligations, our military
and naval establishments were appall-
ingly deficient; and in the hurry to
get into action we squandered great
sums of money and inadequately
equipped great numbers Of men for
battle.
Naturally enough, therefore, there
is respectful attention now for all sug
gestions about war matters that come
from well informed sources. The peo-
pie have some appreciation today of
what preparedness means. Once bit
ten, twice shy. They want no repeti-
ton of the history of 1917, with its
losses and humiliations, and the bick
erings that have not yet ceased. Let
Congress treat the Army and Navy
literally, and the people will approve.

Gen. Pershing Making Friends.

Gen. Pershing has been making u
wide tour of inspection. and the people
everywhere have greeted him with en-
thusiasm. In every way they have
testified to their appreciation Of his
services in France and elsewhere. He
has spoken frequently, and always in
the right strain. He has been par
tirularly pointed and happy in his ref
erenees to the country anfits future.
While the distinguished traveller has
not, we may all be sure, had anything
else in mind but his official duties, it
will not be overlooked by the poll
tieians that in this way he has been
making a great many new aequaint-
ances under circumstances highly
favorable to him. A man who has
served on a committee of reception,
or one who has simply attended large
meeting and gotten no nearer to the
guest Of the occasion than seat in
the body of the hall, is not likely to
forget his pleasant experience. He
will remember that wildly; and should
he attend, either as delegate or sight
seer, the Chicago convention in June,
and hear the generals praises sounded
there in connection with the presiden-
tial nomination, he is likely to be-
come something of Pershingite.
Consider lir. Bryan's ease. For
months before the democratic national
convention in 1896, the orator of the
Platte had beer OIL speaking tours
covering many states. He was young,
ardent, attractive and eloquent. "He
had a way with him" which captured
crowds, and crowds had gathered to
hear him. He had made great many
aequaintances; aud, later, some Of them
attended the national convention as
delegates, and others as spectators. So
that when Mr.. Bryan took the plat
form at the convention and thrilled
that body with the speech that brought
him international fame he was ad
dressing many men whom he had al
ready fayorably impressed at their
homes. And his triumph was the
easier and eompleter because of that
fact. He had brought no boom with
him, but when the time came he need
ed no boom.
AS yet, the Pershing boom is of very
modest proportions. There are half
dozen other booms that outelass it
for size and resonance. But the gen
erals friends are not idle. They keep
sharp eye ON Developments. and
whenever occasion offers, or they can
provide an occasion, they call atten-
tion to his qualities and express the
opinion that he would make an excel
lent President of the United States.
All this time Gen. Pershing is max
ing friends for himself, not for po-
litical purposes, but in way that may
bring them to his side as supporters
in the event of situation at Chicago
deadlocking the convention and max
ing it necessary to travel outside the
circle of the leading boomees for the
right man.

Jeffersonian Principles.

Vice President Marshall, asking for
commission to San Francisco, de-
elares for Jeffcrsonian principles. Mr..
Bryan, with his eyes turned to the
Golden West, declares for Jeffersonian
principles. Former Senator Bailey, re-
entering politics, declares for Jeffer-
sonian principles. Evidently those
principles have friends left, notwith-
standing the talk now and then heard
that they are hopelessly out of date.
It might be a good thing to arrange
for a discussion of this subject at the
democratic national convention, on
some such line as this: What were ac-
cepted as Jeffcrsonian principles in
Nr. Jefferson's day. How were they
applied 10 the problems of that dayi
What was their effect on those prob
lens? To what extent, and with what
effect, have they been applied since.
What is the proposition as to apply
ing them to the problems of this day,
aud what might reasonably be ex-
pseted of such application.
One hears Il good deal of specula
fion of general character about Mr..
Jefferson and his principles, and about
other famous men departed and their
principles. AS. for instance. the asser-
tion made at country taverns and on
tire curbstone that if living now Mr..
Jefferson would be radical of rad
icsts: that he would not fraternize
aith the men who are eonjuring with

Protection and a Merchant Marine.

The platform adoDted by the New
York republicans 'sterday contains
some excellent plan $. This is one:
"The principles Of protection must
he retained Us a national policy not
only for use in maintaining American
standards of labor and industry when
present conditions change, but in or
der to insure the nations economic
independence"
The tariff question has had to wait,
owing to disturbed business condi-
tiors everywhere Not until the mar
kets Of the world are settled will it
he possible to put new law Nn the
place of the Underwood law. But when
that time comes, and Congress ad-
dresses itself to the subject, the re-
publcans, if still in control of that
body, must revise the tariff, and, of
course, on lines in consonance with
their record and professions. They
have always stood for protection, have
applied the policy with excellent re-
suits to the eountry's interests, and
are rs much committed to it now as
ever.
And what says labor, organized and
unorganized! Labor has an enormous
stake in protection. American wage
scales and American standards of
labor living are among the fruits Of
protection. They have always been,
and are now, higher than elsewhere: :
and if they are to remain so-are to
be improved even to meet new con-
ditions-it can only be through an in
telligent application Of the policy
which has justified itself SO often.
This is another excellent plank from
the New York platform:
"We believe that both the national
defense and proper care for our for
eign commerce require merchant ma
rine of the best type of modern ship,
flying the American flag, manned by
American seamen, owned by private
capital and operated by private en-
cfgy."
For some reason, not clear, this ques-
tion also is delayed. That we must
have a merchant marine admits Of nc
doubt; and that water transportation
rs well rs land transportation should
he a matter of private enterprise is a
proposition supported by many strong
afgnments. A large foreign trade will
require many American bottoms; and
they should be of the best. We shall
be, competing for business with two
nafions-Great Britain and Japan
now powerful on the sea as traders;
aud, later. Germany may come to the
front again. This admonishes US to
enter the field in the best shape pos
sible, and as soon as possible.
How the Chicago convention will
daal with these two questions is of
much interest. 1t could not if it would
erade them; and any qualified treat
ment would be a signal mistake. A
ringing deliveranee on both would
square with plain duty and good poll
9 ties, and such will probably be the
outcome. Large production encour-
aged by protection, and large foreign
sales delivered by our own merchant
ships, will put us abreast of the times,
and help ease the heavy money bur
dens the war has imposed on the coun-
try.

Emory N. Wilson.

In the death of Emory NJ. Wilson,
principal Of the Central High School,
Washington loses heavily. For a year
and a half he had been fighting for
life and health, and at one time seem
ed to have won the struggle. The
disease which had gripped him-the
result of his intense application to his
task in the period of school expan-
sion-had too far sapped his strength
to enable him to combat an acute at
tack, and he suceumbed, to the sorrow
of multitude of residents of the capi
tai whose lives he had closely touched
in the many years Of his service. Dur
ing nearly two decades Emory Wilson
was at the head Of Washington's larg
est public school. In that time thou
sands of pupils have graduated and
passed into the city's working forces.
They have borne memories of this
mans indefatigable services for their
development and for the upbuilding of
the institution that has become com
manding feature Of the capitals edu-
cational equipment. His personal
qualities, his intense loyalty to the
school welfare, his unfailing interest
in the work and needs of the pupils
who came under his supervision en-
deared him to all who came in con-
tact with him. Now that he has lost
his life, almost literally sacrificed to
duty, he is mourned by the community
with a sincere sense of personal loss.
