Child Not the Man for Place.

American Economist: Some of the
daily papers have stated that there is
a possibility that Richard Washburn
Child, lawyer of New York City, may
be appointed either to cabinet posi-
ton or as secretary to President Har-
ding. May we ask is this is the
Richard Washburn Child, who wrote
the articles on schedule X, which ap-
peared in Everybody's magazine for
February and March, 1909? Is he the
man whom Theodore Justice and Hen
ry M. Steel convicted of misrepresent-
ing the facts? Is he the man who
wrote the following
~Poor Mckinley bewildered by the
intricacies of the wool schedule, turn
ed the whole matter over to the parties
in interest to fix it up between them
slyes?
If he is the man, he will not be ac-
ceptable to protectionists. President
Harding, we believe, would not for a
moment think of appointing him to
any office.

RIGHTS OF BRIToNs ENFORCED.

On February seventeenth, 1914, William s.
Benton, British subject, was killed ID the VI
cinity Of Villas headquarters in Mexico. 1t is
now announced that the British government
has agreed to a settlement of the claim by the
government Of ten thousand dollars cash sto
Mrs Benton and a pension of two dollars and a
half a day as long as she remains unmarried.
That is the sort of government protection that
accounts in large measure for the prestige OF
Great Britain today Wherever law abiding
British subject may be, he knows that his home
government is looking after his welfare, and
will be quick to demand redress should other
countries fail to extend the protection of their
laws to him. Bentons death occurred three
thousand or four thousand miles away from
home and since then the British government
has been racked with four years Of the greatest
war in history, but through it all it never for
got the account it had to settle with Mexico.
There have been hundreds of American cltl-
zens murdered or wounded in Mexico In the
last eight years. Tens Of millions of dollars
worth of American property in Mexico has been
wantonly destroyed. Never has there been a
substantial effort made by this government to
obtain redress Notes have succeeded notes, all
Ito no effect. With a change of administration
we may look forward to radical reform in orr
attitude toward our citizens travelling not only
in Mexico but in any other part of the world.
But we can never efface from American history
the shameful record of official impotence under
Wilson.

Reactive Pullman Rates.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: The sleep
ing car rate is in pretty much the fix
in which certain imports were placed
by tariff so high as to be prohibitive.
The business is falling OIL because the
public cannot afford to pay the price
except under the prod of necessity.
When high impost duties were levied
to prohibit importations they worked
out their ends, but they ceased to pro-
duce revenue when they got SO high
as to become prohibitfve. Railway
management now is asking itself
whether, as a revenue maker, the
sleeping car rates are failure. There
is no profit in hauling half-flled
sleepers when it costs no more to
haul completely filled cars.

GREAT MEN UNDER SCRUTINY.

While the speculatons concerning the next
presidents cabinet are without authority, they
are useful in aiding to crystaize pubic sentiment
and acauaint the people with the merits OF their
eminent men, their policies, opinons and views.
Recent guesses are that Senator Knox may De
asked to serve the nation as secretary OF state
or that, if his health does not permit or he pre-
fers to remain in the senate, DR.. David jayne
Hill may be named Both these citizens are
men of conceded high ability, experienced IN
statecraft and in general accord with Senator
Harding as to the part the republic should take
in world affairs.
It is surmised also that Governor Lowden, or
Illinois, may be rendered the treasury port1ono.
II this shall happen and he accepts, the finances
will be wisely and carefully administered by a
man who has filled with credit many posts OF
honor and responsibility and made notably
fine record as a business administrator OF Lii
nois. Whoever may be appointed, it can hardly
be questioned that it is Of even greater import
ance that the nation should have wise and
conservative secretary Of the treasury than that
a bank should have a careful and conservative
head in whose judgment deposltors can safely
lconfide For head Of the war department the
name of General Leonard Wood comes first to
many mnds The fact that his friends contested
the Ohio primaries with Senator Harding may
be expected to have but Little weight with
man so broad and big the president-elect
Such considerations had no effect on Lincoln
when he saw in Stanton the capacity the nation
needed; and the fact that General Wood is an
administrator of demonstrated surprising abll
lily is undenA ssle and undenied.
| All this j tesswork, but, as said above, i
has its uses; itrhelps the people to take stool
of their cas 1T ,eligibles and reach conclusion:
as to the type of men they want. The unex
a1npled plurality which carried Senator Hard
! ing to the white house places him far above any
need, real or supposed, Of allowing personal Pc
ltical considerations to influence his course. ID
/ is beyond the necessity Of maneuvering for ex
pediency's sake. He has only to do the Wis
thing and the right thing, as he sees it, and al
that he can to give the country honest, econom
ical, capable management, and the plaudits Q
the people will be all the political machine
| he needs, if circumstances shall SO shape tina
he aspires to a second term No man less mort
gagged and freer to give the people the best tina
lis in him ever took our highest office; and tn
general feelin is that he will make superbl
good.

The right word is always a power, and

George Eliot.
Ep1DEM1cs of CR1M1NAL1TY.

Philadelphia with fifty hold-ups in single
dav. Chicago and st. Louis and New York City
with their offerings of murders and raids once
in twenty-four hours or less and a disquietng
increase of crimes of other sorts throughout the
country suggest that there is room for supple
mental police forces able to cope successfully
with the element defiant of law. A plan sug-
gested is that bandits who motor cars are
to be chased and subdued by riflemen In power
full automobiles or racing sidecar motorcycles
stationed night and day at strategic points; ana
the expectation is that crime as business can
be made more precarious than 1t has been Oh
late.
1t is idle to gainsay that an epidemic OF law
lessness is on the land Explain 1t as we may
or accept it as inexplicable, the fact is beyond
dispute that municipal machinery Tor combat
ing crime is overmatched and 1neffectual TO
degree unknown before. This IS not to say that
the forces making for law and order have deterl-
Grated. 1t may be that they are merely over
taxed and inadequate to cope with the volume
of crime. Yet the fact that New York City has
had. so far this year, over one hundred murders
which are still mysteries, not to speak OF the
Wall street bombing horror, would seem to in
dictate that criminalty profession has be-
come safer than heretofore. If this be so, So
ciety must equip iteslf more thoroughly for
self-protection.
There is no question that our population as
a whole has deteriorated in generation. Its
moral average has been lowered by the millions
of less developed immigrants it has absorbed
The foreign names that figure In crime records
establish this. Several causes also have con-
spired to bring about lessened respect for law
You cannot give a country law which millions
of upright citizens hold to impose no moral OBJ
legations on them without cheapening respect
for all laws. The fugitive slave law was such
a law, and the laws in England under which
dissenters in matters of faith were hunted into
jails, and congregations Of sectarles-God-fear
ing men and women of irreproachable lives
were broken up and their pastors put IN the
Stocks were other laws which put good laws
into contempt and led to revolutions in the end
And there are other causes and, as We may bt
sure reasons in the nature of things for every
condition which exists, including the presen
epidemic Of criminality which society mus
stamp out
