PRINTERS’ INK AND PEACE
The advertising man in the I niversity ot Missouri thinks
that if one-tenth of the cost of the war had I.. employed in
describing to the world the beauties of the brotherhood of man.
the war would have boon avoided. This is very interesting. Tt
catches one’s fancy. But it may not be true.
It would’ be very difficult, indeed, to convince a majority
of the people of the Pacific coast that they are brothers to the
turbaned Hindu. It is doubtful if the South could be convinced
by printers’ ink that the white man and the negro are of the
same soul stock. For nearly twenty centuries the Bible has
31ad a pretty fair circulation and only a very small percentage
of humanity literally abides by its inspired injunctions.
Divergent racial tendencies, the scramble lor a living, land
hunger, and other attributes which seem to be ingrained in
human nature, are impediments which the philosophy of pro
phets seem unable to surmount.
And there are worse tliiugs thail war.
SECRETARY DANIELS IN LIMELIGHT.
~ -- —
Tilings are never dull in the New York newspaper offices.
"Whenever there is a sign of the doldrums and all subjects seem
to glow stale it is easy to renew the attack on Secretary Dan
iels, and that makes as much excitement in the metropolis as
throwing a wheelbarrow through a china closet. New Workers
at once brace up and again conclude that the national honor
is indeed nothing but a hotth*—swabber for all ot Europe and
Mexico.
The secretary’s popularity refuses to flourish in New
York. Indeed it has fallen among tares all along the Atlantic
coast, where the inhabitants look out to sea every morning and
fall in a fit it a sail or a smoke ring be in sight. Everything
looks like an enemy battleship from Ilatteras to Bangor.
dust now the New York Sun is calling upon the secretary
to relieve himself of his oliicial salary and return to his ( aro—
lina sanctum, where he certainly would feel more at home.
Says the Sun:
The inescapable truth is that Josephus Daniels suppressed
and concealed Admiral Fletcher’s report because by contrast
it would have revealed the glaring ignorance and utter incom
petency of the official head of the navy. It was an outrage
upon the people ot the l nited States, who are entitled to know
the state of the service at all times and to judge for themselves
whether the secretary is equal to his responsibilities and a help
or a drag on the navy.
UNCLE SAM REVERSING HIMSELF.
In tin* revival of the discussion as to whether merchant
vessels shall lx* permitted to carry arms for defence, writers
are losing sight of the fact that the United States’ view was
clearly set forth in formal fashion last September. Even such
a well informed writer as John ('allan tULoughlin evidentlyl
has forgotten that our state department issued a carefully pre
pared statement of its position last September L’t).
Mr. (ULoughlin'contributes to the discussion an interest
ing statement of what Justice Marshall and other “old timers”
g said on the question. But the most modern authority he cites
is the United States naval war code of 1 !H)().
The “memoranda” given out by tin* United States depart
meiit of state September l'0, said, in part:
“A A merchant vessel of belligerent nationality may
carry an armament and ammunition for the sole purpose of
defence, without acquiring the character of a ship of war.”
Now, four months after this formal statement, Presidenti
Wilson has proposed to the powers that they assent to a new
doctrine prohibiting the arming of merchant ships for defen
sive purposes.
By this new proposal tin* President not only suggests a
revolutionary step, contrary to the American attitude since the
war for independence, as Mr. (ULoughlin points out, but clear
ly reverses himself.
The track layers on the government railroad to the west
ward are on a strike for an increase in wages. They demand
a minimum scale of fifty cents an hour for their hire. ,
