To The Scrapheap

Plans are being formulated for the scrapping of
twenty-one warships of the American navy in ac.
'%cordance with the Washington ornaments treaty.
With completion of exchanges of ratification of the
treaty among the several powers, parties thereto,
the navy will start the process of destruction. Six
of the ships are huge battle cruisers in various
stages of completion, and the cost of breaking up
the new steel that has gone into their bulls will be
sufficient to offset any profit from its sale. But
the cost of maintenance of these twenty-one ships
had they been kept in, commission will be a big
annual saving estimated at about $200,000,000 at
the time of the conference.

Dangerous Companionship

Those who are directing the affairs of the Demo
cratic party may get what satisfaction they please
out of the election of Senator Magnus johnson.
They practically admit and the returns prove that
Democratic votes combined with radical votes to
put johnson across. 1t may be that a majority of
the Democrats of Minnesota are ~gratified at the
result, but it would be interesting to know how
their party colleagues in other parts feel about it.
If the present party leaders want to deliver their
strength to radical candidates they are likely to be
speedily thrown from power by men who want to
see the Democratic party retain some of its old time
dignity and self respect.

According to the Soviet official daily Economic
Life" of the date of June %, the cost of total pro
duction of nationalized industries in Russia, for
the year was estimated at 1,505, 00O, 1000 gold rubles,
a gold ruble being valued at 51.4 cents American
money. 1t was estimated that the gross receipts,
including sales to the general public, would amount
to 1888, 000,0 thus earning a profit to the state
of 100000 rubles. However, a preliminary balance
shows that in view of Unfortunately high overhead
costs and other disbursements the Industries in
stead of yielding this estimated profit will close
the operating year with n deficit of 223, 900, 000
rubles. The Council of National Economy, and right

Also Have Reward

For attempting to swim the English channel
there is no obvious motive except that it is a diff
ficult task, not to be accomplished except where
good luck and strength combine to give success
The water in the channel always is cold and us
ually rough, currents are many and uncertain, and
fogs are frequent, Yet a considerable number of
men have needed no compulsion to essay the pas
sage, and now a woman has shown that she, too,
could make the venture.
The will to do hard things, even though there is
no reason for doing them other than their hardness
may not be n demonstration of wisdom at its height
but even those who cannot commend it should re-
strain the IMPULSE to r%eprehend or deride. At any
rate it is better than the opposite will-that to do
only easy things which is altogether too common.
Better than either is the search for easy ways to
do hard things, for that way progress lies. The man
first flew across the English channel in an air
plane well earned this fame and his place in history
but the swimmers, too are estimable folk in their
May.
