Condemns" Great Britain's
Weakness

To the Editor, The wsshinstoa Herald:
l notice in Fridays open Court"
column some more of the same old
drivel on the Irish question"
II. instead OF trying to stir up
the hyphensted citizenry Of our
country against Great Britain, these
gentry would go over and fight for
the cause they profess to hold in
such devotion, the country would
be well rid Of such agitators.
What is this handful of brave
people? A murder gang. which
not only murders men honorably
engaged in the execution of their
duty (most Of whom fought for
civilization in Fianders). but their
women folk slsoi
IL. instead of employing dastardIy
assassination, these patriots
would take the field and fight hon.
orably for what they believe, they
might be entitled to the respect of
decent men. But no. they know
nothing of honor and chivalry, any
more than their late allies. the Ger
mans.
The British government is to be
greatly condemned for its weakness.
In not stamping out this rebellion
IL is safe to say that no other gov
eminent would SO palter with re-
bellion. (Our own inciuded.) Brit
ish tolerance and fair play were
never more misplaced.

A Place to Start.

livery advance in naval armament has been
II marked by increased tonnage and the heavier
armament of battleships. In this Great Britain has
had the leadership. She produced the first dread
naught and was first to notably increase the weight
of guns. AS the far greatest naval power this has
been quite of course.
But she has no sooner produced a new type OF
bateship of greater displacement with bigger guns,
than other countries have undertaken to rival her.
The overwhelming cost of this rivalry centers
around these capital ships-battleships and battle
cruisers. Here then would seem a good place to
start disarmament.
1t is now reported that the British are LAYING
down two vertable floating fortresses to carry 20
inch guns and so protected below the waterlne as
to be imPregnabe to any now-developed form of at
tack AS soon as this is verified as fact, congress
will be asked to appropriate for equally formid-
able vessels If to have the greatest navy in
the world, or one equal to that of great Britain we
must have at least, the mates these ships regard
less of cost If Britain is not building them now,
she will, unless a disarmament agreement is
reached.
1t would seem then comparatively simple and
feasible to agree with the British and Japanese that
none OF the three great naval powers would build
naval vessel of greater displacement or tonnage,
or with heavier guns than now in the water
This would quite inevitably mean that the building
OF capital ships would stop, unless some genius
should invent destructive or defensive means ap-
picabe to those of the present size and gun power
1t would at least stop the capital ships this side of
the $Iooooo,ooo limit

An Agrarian Bloc.

4 BLOC has been formed in the senate to
\ promote legislation desired by and beneficial
to farmers. This group is from both parties and
similar agrarian bloc is said to be forming in
the house for cooperative action. No new meas
ures are contemplated, but merely concerted
effort to push through those already introduced.
Even more than the emergency tariff, which
is now law, the farmers need two forms of
relief. One of them is broader credit Ii is common
report that many substantial farmers with fine
properties and many of less financial substance are
threatened with the loss of all their years of in
dustry through inability to loans. They
face foreclosure or even expiration OF the time Of
redemption. Where they able to get renewals
1t is at an interest charge which the prices of their
products do not warrant. Even at such rates, many
are said to be unable to get loans The remedy is
at hand in now before congress- 1t
should be passed
Another relief sadly needed is a reduction or
some quite radical rcadjustment of transportation
rates which will reflect in prices the farm. The
level increase of freight rates without regard to
the ability of the subject of the rate to pay, was
a grievous mistake. The same rule which is ap-
piled to taxes, should govern to transportation
rates They should be graded according to the
ability to pay.
This was the rule of the railroads themselves,
fairly well applied in their many classihcations
But it was entirely ignored in the horizontal in
creases which added as much of percentage to
grains as to merchandise. readjustment is not
subject for law. but there are ways in which
congress can help and other ways in which other
governmental agencies can help, and there should
be no delay in applying them, as it is not long
until this crop will be ready for market.
The Herald sympathizes with the objectives of
this agrarian bloc. No country is safe or can be
prosperous unless its farmers contented and
prosperous The broader its land holdings; the
more evenly its tillable area is held by its own
people who live upon and cultivate it, the less
there is Of land tenantry, and the more certain the
margin Of fair profit, the more assured any country
is of peace and plenty.

PRoHIBITIoN BILL FAvoRs
DRUG MANUFACTURERS.

The bill to supplement- the ma
tionsl prohibition act which has
been decided upon by the house
committee on judiciary meets the
needs of the pharmaceutical manu-
facturers who had complained that
the original Nolstead bill called upon
them to do some things that were
impossible or would lessen the ef-
fectiveness Of the physicians rem
edies. oficisls Of the American Drug
Manufscturers' association declare.
The judiciary committee has elm
mated the provisions Of the original
bill banning the use of wines for
the purposes OF making medicines
pslatsble and requiring all alcohol
for use in the manufacture Of medi-
cines to be denatured with some
component part Of the remedy.
On the point OF the denaturing
of the alcohol by the distiller. rep
resentstives Of the American Drug
Manufacturers association claimed
that this provision would tend 90
destroy the fine precision Of the
rugs prescribed by the physician
and render IL impossible for him
to depend on the effect Of q given
dose Of a medicine. In fact. for one
class Of preparations, they claimed
it was entirely unfessible.
II the new bill becomes law, the
prohibition commissioner will be re-
auired to limit prescriptions OF
spirituous and vinous liquors TO 100
per month for each doctor. Pre-
scriptions Of wine containing more
than 20 per cent alcohol by volums
wifi be prohibited altogether.

accepted as the oldest of bromides But old
things in new form and with least newly adjusted

latest of these is weekly publication, a news

any one complete respect, which marks distinct

Joined the civil observance of SUM-
day, not as the Lords day. or the
Sabbath but as dies soils the day
of the sun, in conformity to his
worship to Apollo and in company
with an ordinance of the regular
consultation of the haruspex, S21."
McClintock and Strong, whom
the writer quotes as authority,
make this statement: The Council
Of Laodicea "a. d. 3s4) entoined
Christians to rest on the Lords day
Sunday" And. in regard to the
decision of this council. they state,
Sixty canons were published which
were accepted by the other
churches" In their synopsis of
these, they say, Canon % forbids
Christians observing the Jewish
Sabbath" In other words, this
canon forbade the observance of the
Sabbath of the fourth command
ment and enjoined the observance
of the day after the Sabbath. Canon
29 reads as follows: Christians
ought not to Judsize and to rest on
the Sabbath but to work on that
day: but, preferring the Lords day,
should rest IL possible as Christians.
wherefore, IL they shall be found to
Judaize, let them be accursed from
Christ" Eusebius. bishop of Cesa-
rea. said: AL things whatsoever
that it was duty to do on the Sab
bath. these we have transferred to
the Lords day because II is more
honorable than the Jewish Sab
bath" See lisa 5s:l3 in this connec-
ton
The Sabbath commandment, how
ever, Is no more Jewish than the
rest Of them. In fact, "the Sabbath
was made for man." a good many
years before a Jew existed: and.
although the one whose name Is
signed below is not Jew. he has
to acknowledge that Jesus. the Son
of God. in his humanity, belonged
to that downtrodden race and while
on earth He not only kept the Jew
ish (?) Sabbath but also enjoined
His disciples, according to Matt
1920. to pray that their flight,
nearly 40 years after the resur-
rection. be not on that sacred day.

turning of the public mind to edu-
cational matters, higher thought
and mental expansion.
Back of all the influences is one
of sinister import that will nourish
apprehension of war or serious
trouble with a foreign country.
There is a sign read as presaging
some sort of serious trouble for the
United States. Neptune indicates
much added interest in the navy.
The hour of fate for the Turkish
empire Is near the striking point
according to an English astrologer.
Neptune Is in a place read as de-
noting frauds that affect the public
funds. Federal finances may be af-
fected.
Portugal and Switzerland will
find that the summer will bring
them many political anxieties.
There is a forecast that seems to
indicate for women a tendency to
demand much as their political right
and they may have a period in
which they must struggle for real
equality with men. even though
they may have the vote.
The stars seem to presage evil
for Great Britain. which Is to suffer
