RuMed Feelings.

When Bainbridge Colby, former Secre-
tary of State, took the platform Monday
evening, by invitation, to address the
Womens Patriotic Conference on Ma
tional Defense, meeting in this city, 1t
was the confident expectation OF the
members of that organization that he
would speak pertinently to the subject
of adequate protection for America. He
chose, however, to utilize the occasion
for the delivery of a criticism OF the
New Deal. Doubtless this was surprise
and a disappointment to the gathering
But there was no escape from attention.
The meeting was compelled by the ordi-
nary rules of hospitality to permit the
speaker to proceed. The aftermath was
unpleasant. It may, indeed, become of
political consequence. For Immediately
following came disarrangement OF the
program for the following session as
certain high officers of the Navy, who
had accepted invitations to speak, can
celed their engagements. They did SO,
it was stated, upon orders. Then came
the episode of the withdrawal of the
Marine Band which had been assigned
to furnish music for one of the sessions.
This also was in accordance with orders
from authority.
The incident, which has already be-
come subject of discussion in the House
of Representatives, is chapter Of blum
ders. In the first place, Mr.. Colby should
never have utilized a meeting in behalf
of national defense as the occasion OF a
partisan political utterance. It was not
appropriate to the subject under consid-
Grafton and 1t placed the conference
in an embarrassing position. In the
next place. there was no justification for
visiting upon the helpless organization
the punishment of the withdrawal Of
speakers whose remarks would have been
assuredly pertinent to the occasion. And
finally, the cancellation of the courtesy
of the service Of the Marine Band was
an unwarranted assumption that the
Womens Patriotic Council for National
Defense was responsible for the untoward
injection of a political speech into its
proceedings.
Mr.. Colby has given no explanation
Of his exhibition of partisanship. Nor
has there been any adequate justifica-
ton of the embarrassing withdrawal Of
the officers of the Navy and the Marine
Band. Indeed, there is rather remark
able lack of excuse for this performance.
Nobody seems to know just who was re-
sponsible, who gave the orders, at whose
instigation. The officers and the band
had to obey those orders. That was
probably embarrassing to them. The
whole affair seems to suggest that some
body or a series of somebodies got what
is commonly known as the filters and
acted without thought for the implica-
tions and consequences Of ruined feelings.

Paving the Bill.

The Presidents letter to Speaker ByrnS
Is the sort of thing that takes all the
ioy out of life for Congressman. Be-
fore the echoes of jubilation over bonus
enactment have died away the President
reminds Congress of the grim realities
faced in paying the bill. The bill Will
amount to about $2,249,178,375, which
must now be appropriated
While the text of the Presidents letter
was not made public, the understanding
is that it made no mention OF new taxes.
That will be eminently satisfactory TO
members of Congress. In campaign
wear the discussion of new taxation is
painfully unpleasant to statesmen-legls-
lators about to 60 before the voters. 1t
will be more expedient to leave the sub
iect of raising the money to Mr.. Nor
zenthau, add the bonus to the public
debt and forget about it until after the
next election. Shortly before the elec-
ton the veterans will be getting their
crisp. new bonds, while the taxpayers
will not yet have been plastered with
new taxes necessary to pay for them. A
lovely arrangement, postponing the evil
day.
In his excellent bonus veto last May
the President told Congress: Il can
not in honesty assert to you that to
increase the deficit this year by $780,
100000 will in itself bankrupt the United
States. Today the credit of the United
States is safe. But it cannot ultimately
be safe if we engage in policy of yield
ing to each and all Of the groups that
are able to enforce upon Congress claims
for special consideration"
That situation holds generally true to-
day. But if Congress skips new taxa
ton at this session and appropriates the
money for the bonus, plus funds for
relief and for recovery Of processing
taxes, the deficit in 1887 will probably
exceed $4,000, 900, 900. Aside from the
effect on the credit of the United States
of recurring, increasing deficits on the ad-
ditional danger now is that !nflationlsts
will seek to utilize the bonus appropria-
tion bill as the vehicle for some OF their
Rreenback and printing press schemes.
Now that the danger has passed OF
incurring further displeasure from the
veterans by attempting to combine basic
bonus legislation with imitation, as in
the case of the Patman bill last year,
the opportunity has been presented Tor
tacking imitation to the appropriation
bill.
The Presidents grave warning OF that
danger, as sounded in the veto OF last
years bonus bill, should be enough. I'm
fortunately, 1t is not. The President
may have to take the lead in a more
vigorous fight against the dangers of
imitation now than he did last year. The
danger is even more pressing.

Tests of Civilization.

Charles F. Thwing several years ago
outlined series of tests of civilization
which merit consideration at moment
when far-reaching changes are indicated
on both sides of the world. In summary,
1t was his judgment that to be regarded
as reclaimed from barbarism" and 'in-
structed in arts and refinements" ma
tion must have respect for and apprecia-
ton of its past: a power to create and
TO maintain institutions; an instinct and
capacity for cooperative effort; toler-
ance of the rights of others; interest in
the future; understanding of the family
as fundamental social institution; an
interrelation of the stable and the
flexible values in civil government, and
concern for the preservation Of the life.
health and property of citizens.

that in every country Of the globe society

s'Patriotism'' in Japan.

To what an amazing extent fanaticism
In the guise of patriotism holds sway in
Japan is Illuminated afresh by the court
martial now in progress at Toxic. It
grips the nations attention because rev.
elations are expected not only to bring
to light the internal dissensions that
have rocked the army in recent years,
but to disclose the degree to which ex-
aggerated conceptions of nationalism
have influenced Japan's policy and COM
plicated her relations with foreign pow
ers, especially in connection with con-
temporary events in China.
The officer on trial is Lieut.. Col.
Aizawa, who is charged with the murder
last August of Lieut.. Gen. Nagata, di-
rector of the military affairs bureau in
the war department. The defense pleads
that patriotic motives" actuated the ac-
cused. It argues that the indictment of
Col. Aizawa failed to take into account
'the difference between public and pri-
vate acts" or the intrinsic" nature Of
the imperial army. His counsel also
claims that due regard has not been
paid to the fact that Col. Aizawa's
'basic" impulse was his belief that the
supreme military command had been
interfered with by senior statesmen and
plutocrats."
The defendant officer was removed
from the active army list last Summer,
but the prosecution associates the crime
from his personal disappointment on
that score. The son of Samurai Col
gAizawa is depicted as personifying the
patriotic and political ferment which has
stirred the japanese Army since the
Manchurian adventure. His fraterniza-
ton with nationalists who share his views
regarding Japan's imperialist destinies
led to the profound conviction in his
mind that "a renovation Of politics,
diplomacy, education and economies was
necessary In order to give luster to the

Soft Speakers.

My son, beware the honied tongue
That overpraises all you do
And leaves you too self-satisfied
For games where you must fist 1t thru.
Beware, my son, the soothing words
That fall like balm upon your ears
And lull you to a false repose
In what should be your scrapping years.
Prefer the blunt, outspoken tongue
That makes you leave conceit behind
Constructive blows, aimed straight, shot
hard,
Are good, my son, for all mankind.

To beautify the view.
We try to love 'em truly,
The front yard looks immense,
Although we grow unruly
Across the back yard fence.
We see the marble portal
Whose hospitable grace
Suggests unto each mortal
A generous resting place.
Yet often-far too often
There fingers evidence
OF hate time cannot soften,
Across the back yard fence.

OF beauty we exchange
IN spite of limitations
Close by the kitchen range.

Shows courtesy intense
But how's your conversation
