It. bas been a long time since that old familiar phrase, “Freedom of the seas,” has been heard, with its variations. At least it has not been since Mr. Wil- son journeyed to Paris with it as a first consideration in the formation of a league of nations. We have not heard of it at al] subsequent to his abandonment of it as a principle after he had paid his visit to Buck- ingham palace and eaten pie with King George from the famous gold plate. It will be recalled, by those who find pleasure’ in wandering in catacombs, church yards and other bur- ial places, that not a line concerning the “freedom of the seas” appears in the league coyenant. The sub- ject is as dead as the league itself. What is the accepted meaning of the “freedom of the seas?” It means simply the right of shipping of the na- tions of the world to venture to all waters of the globe at will and without molestation. The right has never been denied by nations, but subjects of nations act- ing upon their own motion or pirates, who acknowl- edged allegiance to no nation, introduced the element of safety to ships and cargoes enjoying the freedom ot the seas. Protection became necessary. And Great Britain and Spain, the important colonizing powers of the world and rivals in trade, built navies to pro- tect their own. With the decline of Spain as a power with foreign possessions her navy disappeared from the seas; and Britain then became the acknowledged maritime power of the world. She has continued to build merchant ships and naval vessels in the subse. quent years and,her flag remained a familiar sight in all quarters of the globe. The United States and Ger- many have been at times competitors but at no time rivals. It may be said in Britain’s favor that during the years she assumed to be the mistress of the sea she was generally fair; but when her selfish interest came in question, she was otherwise in the view of the other nation to the controversy. The war to large extent altered existing maritime affairs. Germany is practically despoiled. Britain suffered great loss in merchant shipping and but lit- tle in naval vessels. The United States and Japan forged ahead in construction until we now stand sec- ond in merchant marine and naval strength with Ja- pan a distant third in both regards. The crimes and offenses committed against neutral shipping during the war are for the present past. It is for the future safety of orr shipping that we are concerned. The guarantees that will hold in fu- ture wars, should any occur. We shall not submit again to the destruction of the lives of our people and the sinking of our ships by nations at war with others: and we shall not suffer our peaceful ships to be taken to port and detained while engaged in commerce with other neutral nations: The future freedom of tHe seas must be real. It must be guaranteed. Not by Britain in Britain’s way; but by all maritime nations under a code and court and not by a preponderance of naval strength of any The freedom of the seas and guarantee of its en- joyment will come very properly before the approach- ing Washington convention on limitation of arma- ment. a SPEAKING ABOUT THE MAKIN’S. Are we moving at so rapid a pace and have we be- come s0 restless that we no longer have time and in- clination to sit down and smoke a pipe? Or have times and styles changed and cigars and cigarets so improved in quality that we actually prefer them to pipe smoking? The day was when the pipe was universally used— that is by all of those who sought solace in the frag- rant weed. Cigars at that time were so inferior and so high priced at that, that they were beyond the purse of ordinary mortals and cigarets were unknown. Later the pipe was favored because of economy. It is doubted if anyone ever preferred it for its aromatic qualities or its sanitary properties. Styles changed and the old pipe was crowded from the front and cigars were smoked freely and cigarets not at all, except by dudes, and small boys who oper- ated behind the barn. While there are at present millions of cigars made and sold it is believed that cigarets are more general- ly used. Go where you will these days you butt into a barrage of cigaret smoke. They are cheap, conven- ient, quickly smoked, seem to pacity and sutisfy the user and are easily ditched. Any hotel lobby or loafing place | frequented by smokers will readily prove to you that cigaret smokers outnumber cigar smokers and the pipe smoker is dis- appearing from public view. Men smoke cigarets before meals, during meals and after meals. Women smoke them usually in private, but if they came out in the open their indulgence would add materially to the general smoke screen. ~ The president of the United States smokes tailor made cigarets, the cowpuncher on the range rolls his own. And all the way, up and down, the fellows in between do one or the other, but mostly Camels. PRESSE Ss WHY PURSUE VOLSTEAD? It is nothing in the young life of Andrew J.

Pa. where he has been offered Now Warren G. Harding is showing those attributes his countrymen are apt to expect in a president, and is gaining in public stature as a result. “One splendid result of this is the Zaccakea cor- respondence, lately given out at the White House. Dis- cussing this the New York Times says “The affair illustrates to a really striking degree the president’s ‘ability to get things done without giving offense to anybody, and to apply pressure without hurting anybody. There was a chance, and some would have utilized it, to expiate on the hardships of raising a big brood of children on $20 a week, and te comment harshly on the paying cf such wage to such a father. The president did neither of those things. In his letter to Mr. Wanamaker he admitted the inade- quacy of his own knowledge for a judgment of the case, and certainly achieved a very miracle in the way of moderate statement when he wrote that ‘quite obvi- ously so large a family couid readily accommodate it- self to a more liberal basis of income.’ Thus ap- proached, of course, Mr. Wanamaker investigated the matter with no sense of having been attacked, and was ably easily to justify the president’s assumption that Zaccahea was suffering no wrong, that his merits were recognized, and that his pay would increase as soon as his earning power increased. “Other things the president has done—his letter to contrib- | ute to lawlessness but destroy the ba- sis upon which their own security rests. Our safety and happiness lies in obedience to law by every man, woman and child within the domain of our republic, and no’ one can un- dermine’ respect for law without be- ing, to that exten: enemy to law | and orderly government. “I am opposed to any aystem of government in. which the rights of guy individual or group of individuals depend upon the’ whim or caprice or temperamental attitude of any public officials.” WASHINGTON, Sept. oe eee ing to the census of 1920 there are in te afraid the ‘Battle of America’ will be my undoing.” MORE YOU SAVE. Sounds wrong, but it is a fact that people save more money when their income is reduced than when they are making enough to keep them busy spending it. “Easy come, easy go.” Concern for the future. is what makes us prepare for it. We are opening more new accounts now than during the flush times a year ago. People are saving more money, even though they are making less. They are preparing for the future. 22, 23, 24 See the Demonstration of the A bank account is a good friend.

But the Arbuckle party is a live issue with prohibition enforc- ing officers on the coast. They are making all sorts of embarrassing inquiries into the source’ of supply, and even threaten to confiscate the $25,000 car in which the slap-stick artist transported the forty quarts to the scene of the revalry. There are others than enforcing officers curious enough and concerned © enough to wonder, How come? Why waste forty quarts, in these times of depres- sion and drouth, on-a’fatslob Hike Arbuckle, when ‘one- fourth that amount would enliven a respectable party of equal number and length of session and with no tragic results? Arbuckle should receive all the limits there are in the law for wasting a valuable medicine in the face of a nation-wide shortage. It is more than a crime to endanger the health of a hundred million people. It is high treason. —_o—____—__ THE NATION’S CORNER-STONE. As a word of greeting to the nation in the celebra- tion of Constitution Day, President Harding said: “The trying times of the last seven years have su- premely tested the governmental systems of all the world, and I feel that we of America may well felici- tate ourselves and give thanks to Divine Providence that in this!test no governmental system has d m- strated a greater capacity to meet and bear the ut- most stresses of human crisis than our own. This knowledge cannot but enhearten us us we look to the future, with its many and difficult problems still to be met, “Once more we may remind ourselves that the Con- stitution is strong enough for every requirement, elas- tic enough to adapt itself to changing conditions and developing evolutions. On this anniversary we may well dedicate ourselves to the supreme purpose of maintaining our institutions under it and of making them in the future, as they have been in the past, a beacon light to illumin the the way of progress for men seeking freedom everywhere.” Sie FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. Denver has reached the limit of patience with r, less automobile drivers and has placed an Belge automobile law upon her ordinance books that will fetch the-drivers of machines, who disregard the rules of safety, up standing. It is drastic but not too dras- tic to cure the evils from which the city has been a long sufferer. Under the provisions of the measure, bonds are not permitted, jail sentences are mandatory and cars are confiscated. This is a law with regular teeth in it. It is a pat- tern for every other city to follow, if it would reduce the sacrifice of human life and the destruction of valu- able property, A city, that imagines it can curb the abuses prac- ticed by certain automobile drivers, by leading them to a city court where they will be assessed a nominal fine, is foolishly playing with fire. It is exposing all others who do obey the laws and observe the traffic rules to the mercy of the pirates of the road, who care little for a five or ten dollar fine. In desperate cases, it requires at times both,strong medicines and skillful surgery. Denver has adopted the correct treatment.
