.Many people ar?; hoard every day
fussing about Ibo street? being tura

sidewalks.
Now of course it would bc much bet
ter If tho streets could be paved in a
slugle day KO that no one would Lave
to b<> Jostled about In riding over
them, but this cannot bc done. It
would also Iv better If all of the
buildings in tho city which ure now
under construction could be erected
from the rear and have all the brick,
Ihne and sand placed back there, but
: ince this cannot be done, just walk
or drive around.
In this case the streets being torn
up and building material being on the

"WOBST FORM OF AMERICANISM/*
There was an echo of the Thaw case
in Loudon thc other duy. of a sort that
isn't battering to th? bomb and bar
of the United States. A prisoner was
on trial charged with having drowned
three wives in a bathtub (consecutive
ly) for the Bake of collecting their Ufo
insurance. Two physicians were call
ed In by the prosecution to testify to
the poisoner's mental condition. That
Bccms to have been a novelty in Eng
lish court procedure. The attorney
for thc defense, in his address to the
Jury, declared:
"Such medical evidence opens thu
door to the worst form of American
ism in the administration of Justice.
Suppose the prisoner had not been a
pauper, as he is, but was possessed of
unlimited means, like many recent
American prisoners. He could have
secured expertB to nay that thc cause
of death was other than the one
given by tho. experts for the crown."
At that Very moment tho long-drawn
battle ot the experts over the sanity
of Harry Thaw was nt Its height
again, wih no hope of Immediate or
conclusive decision. It li nearly ten
ycart since Stanford White was shot,
and yet Jibe courts Con't seem to know
whtfthcr Jits' slayer was Bane at the j
time, or bas been sane Blnce, or ls
8aoe^now*and arQ.aUll uncertain what
should bc done with him. Tho case
of tho London murderer was definitely
disposed of , within a month of the
commission of the crime that led to
his arrest.
An even more flagrant example of
the "Americanism" sneered at by the
British barrister, though In a slightly
different form is treen in the case of
Lieut Becker of the Now York police
force. Ho is still alive and striving
to escape thc penalty for his crime,
although thc four moneyless and
friendless gunmen .who acted SB his
accomplices and were convicted on the
samo basic evidence were years ago
sent with short shrift beyond the
reach, of bought testimony and re
prieving technicalities.
AUTOS FOR BURAL MAIL.
The all-conquering automobile ls
now replacing the horse in the rural
nibil service. On July 1 the pioneer
auto delivery started on two routes
radiating from Quarryvllle, Pa. Other
motor routes .have been planned, to
begin next month. The postmaster
general has already signed orders for
more than 100 machines, to cover,
nearly. 6,000 mlle* of post routes.
The service wih bo extended Just as
fast as the department's resources and
tho condition of tho highways per
mits. Of these two considerations,
the latter ls the more important. It
ls a comparatively simple matter for
the government to replace tho pres
ent box-like rural carriage wagon
wltu automobiles. The original cost
is. little more than tho cost of horses
and wagons. Their operation is no
more expensive, and thtlr efficiency
1B far greater. Horses, however, have
the advantage of being able to get
through almost any sort of roads If
they have to, while the motor cars,
though they are faster and can cover
far more bround in a day, cannot take
chances on roads that are not kept tn
good condition the y?wnr around. The
adoption of outos for the country ser
vice will therefore be another power
ful Incentive to further the good roads
movement. Farmers almost every
where should be willing to make Oie
improvements necessary to gain such
pbs ta! facil'Ues, especially since bet
ter highways will amply repay their
coat in other wayo.

America's Slowest Railroad Job.
( M uff n lo Evening News.)
A wonderful testimonial to the per
sistency and far sightedness of men
was tho completion of thc Clinch
field railroad through the mountains
of North Carolina and "The Breaks
of the Sandy" which was announced
last week.
The railroad has been building for
56 years, having been launched in
i860 by some of the most Influential
men of ante-bellum days. It was
their hope that such a line would
turn the traffic of the West Into the
South and perhaps make impossible
the war then pending.
As proof of the sound reasoning ol
the business men of that period it Is
worth noting that thc same trade
conditions that made thc road desir
able In the '60s Inspired Its comple
tion in 1915.
It ls mile for mlle the most expen
sive road In this country and equaled
only by those in the mountainous sec
tions of Europe. Moreover no othei
railroad in America offers as mud'
romance in the history of its building
ir such struggles against odds as thc
new Clinchfiuld line that tringa us

known little of.

(New York Times.)
It is not likely that thu dreadnought
will be abondoned In spite of the ne\
problems raised in narai warfare b;
the submarine. It has "arrived" as i
formidable agent of destruction, bu
lt is perfectly safe tc predict tha
the floating forts of enormous powe
,will keep their place in all navies
One of the arguments of the oppon
enta of the dreadnought, have bee
developed since German submarine
have been used so .effectively, Is tha
of England's newer dreadnoughts on
ly one, the Queen Elisabeth, seems ?
have accomplished anything. But th
Queen Elizabeth ls the only warshi
of her class, the 1915 type, of whlc
we have beard anything. Nobody ou
of the British admiralty knows Jut
where the others are. There ar
four of them, Warsptte, Valiant. Bal
ham abu. Malaya, all ot 27,500 too
displacement and carrying 15-Inc
guns throwing % tull ton or metal a
every shot. They are credited wit
a speed ot 25 knots, and the lese?
our nary department should derli
from them Is that our projected wai
ships, now known only by number
should be butlt to have mora apee
than onr other battleships.
The building of an effective mit
marine fleet comprising submerslb!
vessela of the newest type, ho we ve
will undoubtedly be the moat ces
nplcuous feature of our forthcomln
naval program. It is Just posslbl
that - no new dreadnoughts will t

TARIFF MAKING
500 men cannot investigate exhaus
tively pno scientifically, the tariff
will be a political football and the
business man will be exposed to thc
destructive see-sawing of rates and
competitive conditions. The Ameri
cans certainly favor protecting the
higher wages but can a body of 500,
even if well inteutiouad partisans,
find Lhe figures that a tariff should
curry which will give tho manufac
turer a high prohibitive tariff, a tar
iff for revenue only, a tariff for one
of the "infant" industries that have
sprang up since the European war?
To say that the Abirlch-Payne tariff
was fairer than the Simmons-Under
wood tariff even from the standpoint
of business, not to speak ol the
larger nubile demande, is to speak
more from prejudice than from actual
figures.
The movement that bas been start
ed in Chicago for the "establishment
of a permanent nonpartisan tariff
commission with a fixed annual ap
propriation with broad powers of ini
tiating investigation and bearing com
plaints, recommend tariff changos to
congress and to distribute me bur
dens in a scientific way according ?o
the economic needs of the country,"
lias met with respectable encourage
ment and will undoubtedly exert a
trcmenrous influence with the com
ing congress.
The tariff, in the last analysis, is
no more a political question than is a
railroad freight rate, once a scale
is issued which the public can de
pend upon as safe and sound.
)MMENT
at full capacity, ten years to meet
thc requirements of a campaigning
army of 1,000,000 men for a single
month. There are perhaps 10,000,
000 men In the armies of the Triple
Entente. But the greatest demand
abroad is for artillery ammunition.
At a conservaticp estimate the armies
of the Triple Entente are expending
at least 50,000,000 rounds of artillery
ammunition a month. The present
monthly output of producers in
America certainly does not total over
25,000 artillery rounds. That is lesa
than l-20th of 1 per cent of the ex
penditure of an army of 10,000,000
men. Yet artillery ammunition ls
undoubtedly furnished to the allies
in greater proportlo nthan any other
kind of war munitions.
A second fact worth noting in con
nection with the sill-v agitation for an
embargo on arms and ammunition is
that (iermany has made no official
protest against their exportation, foi
it realizes fully that there are ab
solutely no -gVotmds in Internationa
law for such'a protest. Miss Jan?
Addams, on her ireturn from Europe
reports that Von Jagow himself told
her that the United States has bott

? CARRANZA MUST DECIDE +
+ ?
(New York Times.)
The reports of a great scarcity of I
food in many parts of Mexico have
been amply verified. It is even pos
sible that there has been actual star
vation in some districts. Organized
efforts to convey food to the 'Bufferers
havo failed. In some cases it is
understood that carloads of provi
sions transported across the bor
der to relieve the proverty-strlcken
inhabitants have been seized by
persons in authority and sold for
their own benefit. The attempts
of the Red Cross to aid the Buf
ferers have been thwarted. In the I
circumstances, the assertions of the
leaders of the factions that there is no
suffering cannot be accepted. These
leaders agree only on one point, the
desirability to them of heading off
American intervention. We do not I
know that intervention ls more likely
now than lt was a year ago. There
ls not the slightest sign of preparation
for it. But Mr. Douglas, President
Wilson's latest special envoy, should
be In conference with Carranza j
within a few hours, and upon his re
port the next step of the adminis
tration at Washington wili probably
be based.
The next step will, assuredly, not
be intervention. But the president
will not abandon his effort to induce
the leaders of the Constitutionalists i
and ConventlonlBts to come to some
agreement. The lUa party promises
to meet Carranza more than half
way, if he will consent to the Pro
visional presidency of their man,
Manuel Vasquez Tagle, of whose fit
ness for administration nothing what
ever is known. Ne?? military suc
cesses of the Villistas are reported,
but of their actual magnitude w"e
have only prejudiced statements. If
peace is to be restored our govern
ment must sooner or later take steps
to prevent the sale of arms and am
munition! to one or the other pf the
factions.
It is folly to say that we must not
take sides when all Mexico ls In a
state of ruin because of the protracted
warfare. There are Indications now
of the ultimate r?cognition of Car
ranza. If he would only climb down
from bis high horse, on which his
seat at present la far from steady, he
might hasten this event. Whether a
protracted poacu would follow would,
depend altogether on Carre asa's will-'
IngnesB to found hts new government
on a reasonable recognition of thc
rights of all, not on the \r.ld theories
of some of his most energetic adher
ents. If he will not co-operate with
hie lfresent opponents, and will not
take measures to form a atable gov
ernment of his own, he is bound. to
come to grief.

COAL FOR THE NAVY
(Army *and Navy Journal.)
Our geographical location has a
material Influence upon the construc
tion of our vessels ot war. The fae*
tots in our geographical position that
make for thu difference, are our iso
lation and the long stretches between
the littoral. of the United Staten and
the porta of Ita insular possessions.
Our comparatively few and widely se
parated coaling stations, coupled with
this isolation, have made it necessary
for our naval constructors to devote
especial attention to affording ships
the greatest possible coal carrying
capacity. . To permit the necessary
weight of coal to be carried our
builders have been compelled to lim
it to Ore utmost the weight of the
armor and of machinery, thereby sa
crificing, to.,some extent, the vital
qualities.ot protection and speed. The
necessity of limiting the weight Of,
and space occupad bl, the boilers baa
forced tho installation of boilers of
light weight and compact design with
limited combustion space. The want
of coaling stations also makes lt
Imperative that tho coal of the U.
S. navy .should be ot the best kind,
so that the coal burning vessels will
have the maximum ?teaming radius.
Ia explain lng this Lieut. Commander
J. O. Richardson, Us 8. N., in the
Journal ot tn? American Boeder.* ot
Naval Engineers, argues against
the exclusion of eastern coal, for such
men would have to forget what they
now know about tho use of navy stan
dard steaming coal, and lt would re
sult *u reduced naval preparedness,
because In time of war tho best ob
tainable coal must be used and the
men must be qualified to produce the
umxiiiiuiu c?nciency with Ulis coal. To
teach there men to handle a peculiar
kind of coal fit only for peace use
would unfit them for their war time
duties and would be analogous to
teaching gun crews tn use brown
powder at tarait ?r?etice, and de
pending upon them to leora at the
outbreak ot war the use of smokeless
powder, the only suitable kind in bat*
tie. .
