Mr.. Morel relates, "are men,

is the work of clever women,

have yet to solve a case where
some woman has not been in

Strange as it may seem, too,
counterfeiters come from all
walks of life, from the wealthy
class, as we'll as from the poor.
Why this sort of criminal con-
tinueS to operate, I cannot Sly,
for he is always caught sooner
or later. No man has ever
prospered in the industry Of
counterfeiting. If he does &C.
cumulate any money, eventual

President Roosevelt has an
nounced that when Congress
ends it's session he will sail for
the Panama Canal and the
Hawaiian Island for a quiet
rest,
Returning by way Of OREGON
he will entrain for the East and
home.
On the way, he may halt his
journey from time to Tins to
make certain addresses to the
country.
Should anyone have the te-
merity to suggest that th ese
speeches would be of a strong
political nature, those gentle
men close to the President
would throw up their hands in
horror. They would say that
the Chief Executive merely in
tended to have a few friendly
talks with the people.
Politics would be a foreign
subject as far as these address
es are concerned, they would
say.
Let none be fooled.
President Roosevelt will make
his return trip across the coun-
try in August.
The majority of congressional
primaries will follow in the
fall.
The speeches that President
Roosevelt will make will have
strong political significance.
They will be sound-the real
keynote Of the 1884 congress
SiOnal campaign.
Up from the Post Office De.
partment comes a letter to this
column.
An excellent letter in its en-.
tirety it illustrates how waste
full or how far-sighted this
Government can be.
Instead Of the necessary two
cent stamp it bore a stamp that
cost three cents.
What gross extravaganza.
It was either extravagant or
Postmaster General Jim Farley
thinks it might be a good idea
to use expensive stamps in the
hope that their use might re.
dllce the postal deficit.
Representative Ross Collins,
of Mississippi, definitely an
nounces that he will enter the
primaries as a candidate for
the United States Senate and
Immediately there arises the
question Of whether he actually
will formally file his intentions
to enter the race.
If he files his notice of inten-
ton to run for the Senate he
cannot run for the House and
he otherwise would be up for
reelection to the latter branch
of Congress this year. The laws
of Mississippi and the people of
the state prevent him from fill
ing for both offices.
If he runs for the Senate
and loses he will be relegated
to a seat far back on the aisle.
How Ross can hope to secure
support from any person who be-
lieves in the national safety of
the country, few people can
understand.
Instead Of believing in Ma
tional Defense for the country
Ross apparently believes it
should "be nationally defense
less"
AS a member of the House
he is entitled to certain priv.
leges. He is in a position to
scalp the National Defense

Army is concerned because of

that and tried to render inef-

terests" in those areas Of the
world in which operations for
that purpose must inevitably be
carried on.
In other words, the japanese
navy, by the preservation OF
the 5-5-3 ratio agreed upon
at the Washington Conference,
would equal in effectiveness the
British or the American Navy,
should either attack Japan in
the Far East.
The same ratio, it was esti-
mated, would give the Ameri-
can Navy opportunity to defend
its commerce and other ma
tional interests, as against the
Japanese or British navy in
those areas of the world where
such a defense might have to
be undertaken.
And the same equality of op-
portunity was assured the Brit
ish navy in its own areas of de-
fense operations by the same
ratio.
Equality Given
Therefore. japan under the
Washington Treaty got the
same measure of naval equality
for defense that was assured to
Great Britain and to the United
States by the 5-5-3 ratio.
This ratio was slightly modi-
fled at the London Conference
in favor of Japan, but the
principle upon which the Wash
ington Treaty was negotiated
and is now enforced still stands.
Should Japan persist in her
threatened intentions to de-
mand the wiping out Of the
Washington ratios and the
abandonment of the method
agreed upon at that conference
for the future limitation and
reduction of naval ornaments,
the United States would be
forced to take one of two posi-
tions:
In the face of such a demand
from Japan, the United States
would be compelled to resume
her naval Notifications in the
Pacific as a defense against a
japanese navy powerful enough
to dominate the Pacific, or to
surrender that ocean to the
naval supremacy of Japan.
If the Roosevelt administra-
ton firmly adheres to the po-
sition just announced by Secre-
tary Swanson, the world, in
cluding Japan, will receive a
timely reminder that there is
again a Roosevelt in the White
House and that he means what
his Secretary of the Navy says
about resuming the fortifica-
ton of our Pacific possessions,
unless Japan keeps the faith
she pledged at the Washington
Conference.

Naval Equality Threatened

Secretary Swanson serves no.
tice that if Japan insists upon
reopening the question Of naval
ratios, adopted at the Wash
ington Conference, the Roose-
welt administration will con.
slider renewing American naval
Notifications in the Pacific,
which were halted by an agree
ment entered into at the same
conference.
Japan's rejoinder to this
American admonition comes
from the chief Of the naVy's
propaganda bureau, Rear Ad-
miral Sakano, who pretends
that "the Washington ratios
menace the japanese empires
safety" He advances the novel
theory that the Washington
treaty for the limitation and
reduction Of naval armaments
"was framed to meet special
conditions Immediately after
the war;" and that it is now
"long out-dated."
The official record knocks
this Japanese propaganda into
the traditional cooked hat. And
thoughtful Americans will turn
to the record before swallowing
whole any more alien propa-
ganda from any source regard
ing American defense.
The record reveals that the
United States has long been the
leading advocate Of reduction
and liquidation Of naval arma'
ments by international agree
ment.
o. s. Is Champion
The record shows that the
method of limiting naval arma.
ments, consistently championed
by this country, has been the
limitation of tonnage in cate
gories, that is in classes Of ships.
This method was agreed upon at
the Washington Conference as
fair to all the nations participat-
ing. BY this method, each ma
tion which signed the Washing
ton Treaty reserved to itself the
right to build within such ton
mage in each class of ship that
type it considered best suited to
its own defense needs. provided
the maximum size and maxi
mum caliber Of guns fixed by
that treaty shall not be ex-
ceeded.
The further record shows
that this country has consistent
ly advocated "the reduction and
limitation Of naval armaments
to as low a point as the strongest
nation would come" provided
the ratios established by the
Washington Conference were
preserved.
These ratios enabled the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan each to build a navy that
would assure to each nation IAN
