Making the Sea Safe

The approach of storms at sea
 is now reported with surprising accuracy by means of wireless electricity. An ingenious device makes it possible to pick up news of their approach long before To- cal conditions are affected. It is
 not only possible to learn of the
 position of storms when many
 miles distant, bat to know the direction they are taking. Tests
 have been made with great sue cess at the Naval base at Pensa- cola. Florida. It IS a simple mat ter to get news of the approach of storms over land, but the con- ditions at sea have been baffling. The warning of an approaching storm can now be wirelessed to aviators flying at sea and to ships far from land. Since ships far out at sea may now be warned of bad weather. a new element of
 safety IS lent to all who "go down | to the sea in shlps.''

DE VALERA.

The character of canon De Valera
has come under closer scrutiny than ever
as a result of the Sim Fein presidents
difference with a majority of his cabinet
over the acceptance of the Anglo-Irish
treaty.
Needless to say, nothing morally dero-
gatory is imputed to him. Such defects
as his critics impute to him are defects
of virtue. They indicate strength of
character, not weakness. They represent
Infinching and uncompromising honesty.
The only fault found with him by dis
passionate friends of Ireland is that he
seems to carry strength to a point of
unwise stubbornness and by refusing all
compromise runs the risk of winning no.

Inheritance may account for this. De

A FLEXIBLE TARIFF.

The Presidents proposal of a flexible
tariff administered by a responsible tar
iff commission to meet changing business
conditions is not new 1t has been talked
Of for years and proposed by representa-
tives of both political parties. Many
business men have urged it as a means of
taking the tariff out of politics"
The present tariff commission was re-
garded as a step in this direction. 1t is
nonpartisan body restricted for the
present to the work of collating facts
requesting cost of production here and
abroad and ether data useful in deciding
upon tariff rates and submitting them to
congress for its formation in preparing
tariff schedules. Although congress 50
far has shown little disposition to util-
ize the services of this commission it has
been thought of as probably destined to
grow eventually into a very useful body.
The Presidents proposal would evidently
increase its personnel and scope giving
it administrative powers so that it could
raise or lower particular tariff rates at
any time as conditions seemed to war
rant. 1t would function something like
the interstate commerce commission in
its regulation of railroad rates.
Given a competent and trustworthy
body without political bias this would
doubtless be the ideal way to handle the
tariff. There is general agreement nova,
days that the tariff is a business problem
rather than a partisan problem and
should be handled in a busincsslike way,
1t may be some time however before
partisan congress of whatever complex
ion, can be persuaded to surrender its
tariff making power to any such indepen.
dent tribunal.

Commander Gibson of the local Legion
post. He had much to do with settling
the question definitely, and it shouldn't
be supposed for moment that no one
else was in the field. The Burlington
chamber of commerce. according to its
own admission, made an "eager and per
sistent effort" to get the Queen City adj
ded to the select list-and failed in spite
