clusion was reached that there was
really nothing to be done about the
matter, the birds having all the better
of the situation. So the stariings are
still here, roosting along the Avenue on
the lodges Of buildings and in the trees.
Evidently the matter Of Inauguration
perils has been preached abroad and
now the Commissioners are getting sug-
gestions from other cities as to how to
abate the starting nuisance. From
Seattle, wash, comes the proposal that
the trees be wired with electricity. From
Philadelphia comes the proposal that
blank cartridges be exploded. Neither
Of these prescriptions, 1t Is stated, VIII
be adopted. In the first place. the firing
of blank cartridges win probably be as
futile as was the squirting Of water from
fire hose several years ago, and the
stringing of live wires through the trees
would be o highly expensive and dam
gerous proceeding, with probably little
result in the encouragement Of the
birds. Moreover, as far rs the tnaugura-
ton problem Is concerned. It b to be
borne in mind that the grandstand
seats viii be occupied only during the
day, whereas the stariings occupy the
trees only at night. So there is little
danger Of the Capitals guests ON that
occasion being annoyed on this score.

Heroes Just the Same.

when idols fall the noise Of the crash
is always heightened by the bitter walls
of the worshipers. When Capt. Fried
and First Oficer Manning signed their
names to q fulsome eulogy OF a
cigarette, just after displaying such re-
narkable seamanship and sublime
courage in rescuing the crew OF the
sinking Florida, more than one hero
worshiper shed bitter tears ana
rnawed his knuckles in anguish. Such
evidence Of commercialisn, to them,
meant the topping Of two idols from
two high pedestals. @
But to others there is delicious bit
Of humor in Capt. Frieds ability @
collect negotiable coin by afhxing his
signature to palpabiy ridiculous
encomium. In collecting that money
/ Capt. Fried displayed the courage that
made him hero Of the sea. He must
have known that to indorse a cigarette,
toothpaste or a brand OF gasoline
would be, in the eyes Of thousands OF
critics, an act Of heresy to the cause
Of acting like a-gentleman-aft er-per-
forming eats-of- bravery. But did he
care? Not by marlin-spike! He went
ahead and signed the pesky thing, and
probably laughed up his sleeve while ne
jingled the coin. He did not rescue the
sinking mariners from the Florida II
order to qualify himself as a signer OF
cigarette Endorsements. But II rescutne
mariners qualities one to indorse
cigarettes-heigh-ho and = bottle o
rumI
What the American merchant marine
needs are salty and sea-going mariners
like Capt. Fried and First Officer Man
ming. II they can put by bit for the
time when they will be retiring to little
white cottages by the sea merely by
signing cigarette advertisements, SC
much the better. The best part of it II
that If they can sign cigarette adver.
tisements they will not have to retire te
little white cottages by the sea. They
can spend the Summer at Newport ane
Winter at Palm Beach.

Tariff Revision Threatens Stress i'm
United States Relations With Canada

Star. A recent issue Of 1t contains
an editorial pronouncement which has
made profound impression upon canal
advocates In Washington. The Star de-
liberately says:
"a regrettable effect of tariff raising
by the United States would be the ter
mination of the 'pourparlors' between
Canada and the United States in con-
nection with the Improvement OF the
st. Lawrence River. Canadians recog-
nize that the adjustment OF the tariff
Of the United States Is the business OF
that republic and is something over
which the Dominion should have no
influence. Yet it would be Impossible.
politically, for any government in this
country to enter into an agreement of
major importance with the Govern
ment of the United States Simultaneous
" with the raising of the tariff OF
the United States against the goods OF
this country. And 1t would be nearly
as impossible for the Government at
washington to be willing to conSlm-
mate such an agreement If the Domin-
ion were to- meet the action of the
United States by decreeing a similar
adjustment of its own tariff. The sop
which the farmers Of the United States
m. receive by way of tariff concessions
will deprive them Of cheap transpor-
tation through q deep st. Lawrence
waterway"
This situation, as it affects the United
States, is reminiscent of philosophical
observation once made In the Senate
bv John Sharp Williams OF Mississippi.
He said, "You cannot have everything
else-and curly hair"
We are going to have the sort of
tariff we want; but this writer guesses
that we shall soon know that we cam
not have that sort of tariff and also
everything else that we want In the
world. ~
