Wisconsin Stands Alone.

Out of the complex of the Wiscon-
sin primary election for nomination
for the Senate comes unmistakably a
proof Of the preference Of the voters
for Robert M. La Toilette, jr.. as his
fathers successor. He won in the pri-
mary over several competitors so
strongly that there could be no doubt
Of his election later in the month.
Nor can there be doubt as to his
status in the Senate. He will not be
a Republican entitled to admittance
to the party caucus. He will be a
progressive, or whatever he wishes to
style himself, and will belong to the
group of former Republicans who
have been excluded from the caucus.
La Follette's classification is not es-
pecially important. however, as COM
pared with the party alignment in
Wisconsin. Tuesdays voting showed
that there is no change there as at
fects the dominance OF the La Toilette
progressive faction of the one time
Republican party. The late Senator
has bequeathed his following to his
son. Whether another candidate than
the junior La Toilette would have
succeeded Is not TO be determined.
From the moment of the late Sena-
tors death there was no thought Of
any other candidate for the succession
than a member Of his family, his wife
or mis- son. II has been taken for
granted that the senatorship would
descend" to the political next OF kin.
Wisconsin is thus not to be reckoned
as a Republican State, but to be
classed in the category OF independent
Commonwealths. 1t is in this respect
in a class by itself. 1t is the only
State in the Union which does not
affiliate with one or the other Of the
Two jor parties.

manding the Leesburg pike and the
valley OF Pimmit Run. were Forts
Marcy and Ethan Allen. The road to
Leesburg passes through some
weathered mounds that were part of
Marcy. and the road to Walkers
Chapel and Vanderwerken goes
through the site Of Ethan Allen,
though it is hard, perhaps not pos
Sible. to find 4 vestise of that fort.
The Long Bridge section of forts,
notably Runyon. has been obliterated,
but on the highland to the southwest
part of Fort Albany is visible. On
the heights west of the old Auueduct
Bridge it is difficult to trace the lines
of Forts Smith, Strong, Morton,
Woodbury., Cass, Bennett. Corcoran,
Whipple and others. MCPHERSON, one
Of that section of forts, and which had
not been finished when the Civil War
ended, is preserved in Arlington Gene
tery.
Along the Columbia pike the re-
mains of Fort Berry and not far
away parts of Fort Richardson were
visible few years ago, but it is likely
that no trace of them remains. The
valley OF Cameron Run, through
which the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad and the Little River turn
pike run. and which two or three
highways enter from the south, was
one Of the heavily fortified sections
for the defense of Washington and
Alexandria. Along the ridges north
and south of Cameron Run are sites
Of numerous forts. thinly or not at
all built on, and long lines Of broken
ramparts and bitches nearly filed
may be seen. A committee of the Ma
tional Capital Park Commission visit
ed the sites Of several of those forts
with an idea that they may be incor-
porated in the Capitals park system.
The idea is a good one. The time to
get the sites is before the land be-
comes too high priced. When the
agitation for acquiring the forts
around Washington was begun by
The Star nearly fifty years ago the
sites of all the forts could probably
have been bought for what the park
commission will now pay for one, and
the Capital would now have a park
and boulevard, the finest of its kind
in the world, concentrating the Civil
War, teaching unforgettahle lessons
in history and commanding views un-
excelled in the country between the
Appalachian Range and the Atlantic
Ocean.

Advancing American Aviation.

With bids submitted by seventeen
companies in competition for eight air
mail contracts it is evident that avia
ton development in the United States
has progressed speedily and promis-
in ngly When the experiment of carry
ing the mails through the air was be-
gun there were but few private manu-
facturers of airplanes in this country.
No commercial concern was in a posi-
ton to undertake this service. Now
seventeen firms or corporations are
competing for the con tracts, and with
this encouragement it is probable that
the next time bids are called for air
mail contracts there will be more in
competition.

lished. Henry Ford is using planes

The Old Fort Sites.

The National Capital Park Commits
son has some thought Of preserving
Civil War fort sites in Virginia and
adding them to the park system Of the
Capital Progress is being made in
acquiring a number of the old fort
sites in the District. Many of the
earth forts and their supporting
built over by the city, and the land is
now beyond the purse Of the park
commission, but 1t is remarkable that
Notwithstanding the spread of the
city many fort sites, particularly
south and east of the Eastern Branch
and west Of the city along the valley
Of Little Falls Branch or Powder Mill
Branch, are only thinly built on or
not at all. The weather-worn ruins
Of some forts remain Some of the
north-line forts, notably parts Of Lin
coin, Jameson. Totten, Stevens and
perha ps few others. can be rescued
De Russey is in Rock Creek Park.
Reno was made suburban subdivi-
sion socn after the Civil War. and a
large settlement covers the fort site
and the outworks and fields that were
about it, but the recovery of this fort
site, tine highest land in the District,
is not out OF the question, and some
time go the District surveyor urged
that the site of Fort Reno be restored
for public use. West Of shington
and north Of the Potomac are remains
. OF Fort Gaines and number of re-
+ doubts which during the war were ex-
tended from time to time and then
united under the name of Fort Sumner.
Three redoubts were built on knobs
that commanded the country near
Chain Bridge and the receiving reser-
voir, and were named Forts Alex
ander, Franklin and Ripley. Subse-
quently their names were changed to
Forts Davis, Kirby and Cross, and at
length these were joined and named
Fort Sumner.

Secretary Kellogg knows the British
Communists in their native lair, in
consequence Of his amba ssadorial So
journ at London. That IS one of the
reasons he lost no time in barring
Shapurji Saklatvala, NJ. P. from the
United States. Mr.. Saklatvala, who
is one of King Georges Indian sub
jects, is the first Communist who ever
secured election to the House of Com
mons. He is the member for North
Battersea. famous London working
class suburb. long represented in
Parliament by the veteran labor
leader, John Burns. Mr.. Saklatvala
was elected last year at the end of
the campaign which restored the Con
servative party, under Premier STAN
ley Baldwin, to power being the only
Communist candidate to pull through.
Red" agitation in Great Britain is
virulent and widespread. 1t is con-
Quoted in fragrant collusion with
Soviet Russia. Secretary kellogg's
uncompromising hostility to Com
munist propaganda in the United
States was given vigorous expression
when he went to Minnesota with
President Coolidge in June.
Representatives of SO countries. in
cludinS the United States, will take
part in the conference of the Inter
parliamentary Union at Washington
the meeting from which the British
Communist has been barred. Sessions
will open on October /, close on Octo-
Der z, and be held in the House Of
Representatives, at the invitation of
the President and Congress. Some of
Europe's most distinguished states
men will be delegates. From the
German Reichstsg former Chancellor
Josef Karl Wirth is coming. 1t was
under Chancellor Wirth that the
United States and Germany made
peace in 1921. Among the British
parliamentarianS are Sir Robert
Horne, former cabinet minister; Sir
Newton Moore. former Australian
premier. and Sir A. Shirley Benn, an
authority on London municipal gov
ernment. Probably the most inter
estinS member of the conference will
be NJ. Edouard Herriot. French prime
minister in 1923.1924. Delegates from
parliaments as far afield as Bulgaria,
the Dutch East Indies, Japan. Lith-
uania, Peru and Venezuela will be
in attendance.
DR.. Hubert Work, Secretary Of the
Interior. bellies the name of the de-
partment which he heads as far as
keeping a wide open establishment
is concerned. He is the only cabinet
officer in Washington the doors of
whose Office always stand ajar. II
1t serves a callers convenience, he
can gain the secretarial presence
through DR.. Works administrative
assistant" whose door is also open.
But there's nothing to prevent a
visitor from stalking right in to the
Secretary's desk. If he wants to. Incl

ARTICLE V.


In the operation of the American
merchant marine. during the fiscal
year 1925 the Coolidge drive for econ.
omy resulted, this correspondent Is
authorized TO state, in the following
reversals of form. July TO April, in
elusive, as compared with the cor.
responding period for the previous
year:
Decrease in the net loss of almost
80 per cent, or about s7,70O, 900.
Reduction in pay roll of 673 per
at an annual saving of more than
$1,000, 900.
Increase of revenue from &47, zoo. .ooC
to s5O,3so,oo0.
Decrease of expenses 30 months
from s76,2O00 900 to 31l,200.00o.
A request for S., 900 900 less of Gov
! eminent funds for 1926 than for 1925
In no other branch of the Govern
ment. perhaps, has the drive to lessen
| the drag on the public treasury been
more intensive than in the conduct of
the American merchant marine. Here
was the Government of the United
States in business on it's own ac.
count, competing with private capital
and competing with the Federal
Treasury back Of 1t to pay the losses.
Critics long have pointed to the
merchant marine as a shining example
of the inability of the Government to
own and operate a business venture.
Losses resulting from that venture
the child of the war, have been con-
tinual drain on the taxpayer.
Plan for Reducing Losses.
Calvin Coolidge, knowing all this,
personally sought to work out plan
that would reduce losses to the lowest
possible point. The plan involved no
spectacular drive for a ship subsidy
such as that undertaken by his
predecessor. 1t did involve a radical
change in relations between the Ship
ping Board and the Emergency Fleet
ness methods hitherto not applied.
Three days before Christmas last
the new Coolidge plan went into ef-
feet. What has happened to prove
its merit or shortcoming? Let the
president of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation tell the story. 1t is told
here for the first time. He says;
THE Fleet Corporation has con.
centrated its efforts on every tangi-
BILE method that appeared available
to reduce operating losses.
1T is, of course, recognized that
adequate supervision of the services
| the object has been kept clearly be-
| fore us that eventually success must
| lie in the greater initiative of our
operators and the gradual elimination
of the necessity Of detailed super
| vision of their individual activities,
not only developing their own indie
pendence, but reducing the direct ex.
penditure Of Government funds.
The number of employees of the
Fleet Corporation on June 80, 1924.
was 3,0s3; by April 25, 1925. this
number had been reduced to 1850 and
an annual pay roll of $6,55 $50 had
| been reduced to S5,171 ,S66; that is,
| while continuing the same general
| business there has been reduction
! in our pay roll of 673 employees, which
involves a corresponding reduction
in salaries at the annual rate OF
1887 Ola.
I'm our operations the cargo serv-
ices cover the greater part of our
losses, and it is in these services that
our success or failure must eventually
be found.
The business done in our cargo
services during the present year has
been slightly greater than hat of
the previous year. review of our
monthly financial statements shows

Saklatvala's Exclusion.

" is contended that the statements
for which Shapurji Saklatvala has
been denied admittance to the United
States were uttered in application to
conditions in India, and have no bear
ing whatever upon general govern
snent questions. For that reason it is
urged that the Secretary of State
was unwarranted in ordering the can
collation. Of his visa and thus prevent
ing his entrance as a delegate TO the
Interparliamentary Union meeting
here.
% II matters little upon what major
topic the Hindu-Britisher was speak
ing. He may have been talking in
the main specifically about British
rule in India, but he was at the
same time avowins anarchistic senti-
ments and beliefs respecting govern
ment as an institution. Surely there
was no limitation of his views to the
Indian situation when he declared, Il
am out to work for a revolution and
for the day when the workers will
control the whole world When that
expression is taken in connection with
the first sentence in the same passage
Of that particular speech, Il am goinS
to America as friend Of the working
classes" there remains no ground for
protest against his exclusion on the
none Of our business.
Saklatvala himself protests that the
action of the Secretary Of State Is in
disregard of the ordinary laws of
political decency." What are those
ordinary laws of political decency? it
may be asked. Do they guarantee the
right of an incendiary to so forth in
any direction with a blazing torch to
start a confagra ton? Do they justify
the flinging of a monkey wrench into
the wheels Of government? Saklatvala
is by his own acknowledgment de-
stroyer of existing governmental in
stitutions. He was planning to come
TO this country in his capacity as
delegate to the Interparliamentary
Union for the purpose OF preaching
sedition, appealing to the workers Of
America to unite with the Com
munists of Europe for the destruction
Of the present political organization.
Suggestion is made that the action
of the Secretary Of State was at the
request Of the British government.
That is quite beside the mark. There
was ample reason for the United
