Naval Limitation. - One day’s debate in the' Senate on the naval limitation treaty developed that the only fault to be found with it was that it did not provide for “gen- eral disarmament” and include land disarmament. The charge that the ratio of naval construction adopted ieft the United States at a disparity ‘with Great Jritain was demolished in the clear showing made by Senator Lodge of facts and figures on tonnage and guns. Even those senators who regretted that the millennium of world disarms- ment had not been reached avowed in- tention of voting for ratification of the treaty. Senator Underwood voiced ‘what was probably the opinion of the entire Senate when he said of the treaty “that it establishes a precedent in the world that may hereafter mean an onward step in the realm of peace among nations,” and that at the end of the fifteen-year life of the agree- ment, “the great democratic ‘peoples of the world, having found that they could meet and agree not to arm na- tion against nation, will demand that the action which has begun here shall be renewed in the future,” and will disarm for universal peace. That same sentiment has been uttered by Presi- dent Harding, by Mr. Balfour of Eng- land and by delegates to the Washing- ton conference. Senator Lodge gave reassurance, backed by the facts, of this govern- ment’s parity of naval strength with England's. “No naval man of stand- ing,” he said, “will say that on the day of battle, whicl is the day of the crucial test, he would prefer the navy of Great Britain or the navy of Ja- pan to that of the United States.” Gratitying language, that. which will be approved by the American people. The Senate, which is for the treaty, will doubtless see to it that this favorable position of sur Navy is not jeopardized by unwise reductions in appropriations for the upkeep of the- ships, for the manning of them with crews, for fuel for practice cruises and powder and shot to enable the gunners to learn how to shoot. The Navy is to be limited in size, but it must not be reduced in effective- ness within that limit. Prohibition of Guns! Prohibition in various forms has been set forth as & prevention of, or a check on, crime, and now it is the prohibition of guns that is proposed. It is worth considering, and the idea ‘would have the support of a large part of public- opinion. There is & prohibf- tion now against carrying deadly weapons, but it does not prohibit. The law against: carrying deadly weapons no doubt reduces the number carried, but it too often happens that a man who will pack & gun does not care much about any law or any kind of law. The pistol-toter ought to -be squelched before he has a chance to use his gun, but it is Mot easy to find out whether a man carries a weapon before he has drawn it. A New York supreme court justice, in passing sentence on a man-killer, gave it as his opinion that the govern- ment should control all firearms and ammunition. He pointed out, what everybody knows, that “hardly a day passes that we do not read of hold- ‘ups and robberies by armed men.” He said that the ease with which the criminally inclined obtain revolvers is the evil to which must be ascribed the prevalence of crimes of violence, and that just so long as the gunman and highwayman can possess himself of a pistol just so long must we expect hold-ups and murders. “Pistols and their cartridges are no more a fit commodity for general and indiscrim- inate purchase than is poison,” is the way the justice put it. His solution of the problem would be that the pri- vate manufacture and sale of firearms should be prohibited, and that the fed- eral government should take over the ‘whole business. —_——————————— ‘Washington has been fortunate in adding the approval of the Rotarians to its long list of distinguished indorse- ments as one of the world's greatest convention cities. —_—————— After so much treaty discussion in Congress, a good old-fashioned debate on the tariff bill ought to seem com- paratively easy. " George Gordon Meade. ‘With the President of the United States in attendance, fitting tribute ‘was paid yesterday to one of the great soldiers of the civil war, when ground was broken for the monument to be erected in this city to the memory of Gen. George Gordon Meade. The story of Gen. Meade's career is, in 3 way, one of the most pathetic in American history. He was & scholarly soldler, deeply learned in military lore, bit & man of great modesty and lack- ing that supreme confidence in himself 80 essential to leadership. It was ot in eccord with any wish of his own that he was in command of the Union forces at Gettysburg. Hooker’s cam- paign, which terminated so disastrous- 1y at Chancellorsville, had destroyed Lincoln’s confidence in that general, and when Lee carried his campaign into Maryland and Pennsylvania, and it was seen that a battle was impend- ing upon which the fate of the Union <would be staked, the President ordered Meade to supersede Hooker in com- mand of the Army of the Potomac. . Meads did not want. the command, | have admitted frankly and like & but he was a soidier and he obeyed. With an army discouraged by a suc- cession of defeats, he fought & bril- liant and victorious engagement and hurled Lee's confident veterans back across the Potomac. Though he was criticized at the time for not following up his victory and destroying the Con- federate forces, the fact that he saved the north from invasion by defeating the'enemy in the hardestfought battle | of the war gives Gettysburg rank as one of the most decisive confticts of all time. > Ordinarily victory in-such a. battle’ at such a crucial hour woulll have as. sured the victorious general highest military honors. But in the west there haq risen up e man of destiny in whom the hopes of the nation had come to be centered, so Grant was 20c|Summoned east and.given supreme command. At Grant’s request Meade was continued as commander of the Army of the Potomac, and rendered distinguished service in the terrible fighting that led up tq the final victory at Appomattox, but always he was overshadowed by the personality of the commander-inchief. Men of less merit but greater thirst for glory won plaudits which were denied to Meade, but his fame is & fair and safe one and | his place in history secure. The President and the Campaign. This is a_news note: President Harding has no intefition of campaigning in the interest of the republican candidates who are seek- ing re-election or election to Congress next fall. This fact was made known today by intimates of the executive who are in a Dosition to speak for his convictions in the matter. Many times the question has been asked whether the President by letter writ- ing or public statements or by assum- ing the stump would participate in the coming campaign as a means of insuring continuance of the republican congressional majority. Today it was stated with much emphasis that the President is known to be of the opin- ion that it is not the business of the executive to go out on the platform and harangue the public in an appeal for a republican Congress. The President will observe the pro- prieties. There need not have been any question on that point. He carries himself in all matters with the fullest regard for the dignity and responsibil- ity of his high place. But the President could not if he would take himself out of the equa- tion. His record wiil speak for him and for his party. Indeed, it is his party’s best asset at present, and will be its most effective stumper in the coming campalgn. ‘There {8 some impatience with Con" gress growing out of the delays and factionisms marking the proceedings on Capitol Hill, and here and there certain members stand out prom- inently in the sharp criticlsms. cir- culating. ‘The President is not, and cannot be drawn, under this fire. He has been urging action on Congress, and con- tributing all in his power toward al- leviating a situation which the fac- tional spirit' of the day has seriously complicated. But it is plain that if Congrese is rebuked by the election of a demo- cratic successor, or even of a demo- cratic House, the President will suf- fer. For in that case he will by called upon to deal on the eve of the next presidential campaign with a body in- terested, and active above all else, in putting him in a hole for campaign purposes. . Mr. Wilson’s Propheaies. Mr. Wilson continues to predict an early democratic trilumph. The latest prediction is contained in a-letter to an officer of a Chicago post of the American Legion, who had requested him to discuss “current political is- sues.” In declining the request Mr. ‘Wilson said: ; “Certainly service men, above all others, aré qualified to express their devotion to the principles we belleve in. It was for those very principles that they offered their lives. For my own part, I belleve those principles to be In themselves so powerful that no_political blindness or Iniquity can defeat thelr triumph. I believe-that triumph to be immediately at hand. and that we shall very soon indeed wipe away the ugly record we made in failing to fulfill the objects fo! which our gallant comrades fought.” “Immediately at hand” must mean Novenlber, since the first test of senti- ment will occur then. Mr. Wilson's further calculation probably is thatan- other triumph will take place in 1924, and that with the democracy again in control at the White House as well as on Capitol Hill, “the ugly record” he refers to—the rejection by the Senate of the Versallles treaty—can, and will, be “wiped away.” ‘What will be the procedure? A re- newal in some way of the Versailles pact, and its submission to the Senate for ratification? Is that to be a fea- ture of this year’s campaign? If so, it will add to the interest of a cam- paign which will not lack for interest- ing features. Mr. Wilson makes his predictions so confidently, he must feel sure of his ground; and that argues communica- tion with his friends in different sec- tions of the country. Undoubtedly, he is taking a lively interest in politics; and the suggestion is very persuasive that his friends are at pains to report to Him their observations as to local sentiment, and their views on what they observe. g —— Balfour’s grateful countrymen in- sist on going into the house of lords, this being their idea of a restful termination of a long and energetically useful career. l Col. Bryan desires to be a United States senator. Compared with pre- vious aspirations the request is a com- paratively modest one. A flapper’s generous {ntention is, ap- parently, to look like a chorus young lady without demanding & salary. l 8 Ghosts. i The Antigonish ghost, though it performed its spectral antics in far away Newfoundland, entertained and held the attention of newspaper read- ers a few days ago. A trained ‘and highly recommended ghostologist sought to trap the specter, but failing, Iaid the ghostly doings and .carryings on to @ young girl. It seems un- chivalrous, it is unchivairous, that a man to cover up his own fallumé to catch the ghost should lay the blame properly attaching to the ghost ‘upon the shoulders, or the back, or the neck, of a falr young girl. .He should :: the ghost was one too many for Now, we have news from Staunton, Va., ‘that a farm near that city is tenanted by & ghost who raises hair, gooseflesh and other things. It seems to be a lively and progressive ghost, in keeping with the character of ghosts one would expect to meet, or hesitate to meet, in the wonderful Shenandosh valley. Jt is no hook- worm ghost if one is to judge from the reports of its activities. Old Virginia comes to the front! She Is not to be outdone by Newfound- land or any other part of the globe. As she excels in the production of Presidents, so also she excels in the output of ghosts. Ghosts are an old institution in the Old Dominion, and it any state would dare to challenge Virginja’s supremacy in_ghosts, that proud state would be Maryland, ‘my Maryland. Ghosts have always been numerous in both states. So plentiful are they that it is really hard to meet @& house of respectable age and archl- tectural decrepitude which is not haunted, or at least hanted. Every- body who can reason from cause to effect or from effect back to cause perfectly understands that no house can be properly or effectively haunted without at least one ghost, and we all know houses disturbed by several ghosts, perhaps by a large family of] ghosts. Hanted graveyards have al- ways been common in Maryland and Virginia, and 'the supply is far from having been exhausted. - Two Young Men. The Crown Prince of Japan and the Prince of Waleg are young men des- tined for great parts in world affairs. They are now qualifying for their work. Last year the former took his first look around in the oceidental world. He was everywhere most cordially re- ceived, and returned home informed and refreshed by what he had seen and heard. His vision, necessarily, was considerably enlarged. The latter is now taking his first look around in the oriental world. In a few days he will land in Japan and be the guest of the country for & month. The arrangements for his e tertainment are elaborate, and insur him both a delightful and a profitable visit. - That he will return home in- formed and refreshed by his travels is certain. The young Japanese is likely to have his opportunity first, and at no dis- tant time. The health of the Emperor of Japan is precarious. When he goes his son will step into his shoes. The young Englishman's opportu- nity will come later. King George is in his prime, and the condition of world ‘matters and the British Empire’s re- lation to developing events should serve to prolong his life. But when the son’s opportunity comes the fruits of his travels should show in his im- provement of it. The war has produced a new world, which in many things must be ordered in new ways. Young men for action: and here are two young men Wwho when they get into action and into their stride will be prominent and im- portant in the world pl(_!ure. —_—— The discovery that a New York ordinance forbldding women to smoke in cafes was not completely enacted has relieved the police of some difficult and embarrassing arguments.

Police in Need of Better Cars To Cope With Motor Criminals OT long ago & telephoned warning to police headquar- ters told of a long, gray, swift and smoothly running automobile, loaded to the gunwales with liquor, nosing its way over Vir- ginia roads in the direction of the capital. Several detectives jumped in one of the two headquarters cars, 'whioh stand ready and waiting out- side the 14th street entrance to the District building, and hurried to the Highway bridge to head off the boot- legger. No soorer had: they arrived than the big gray cAr came zipping along over the bridge. Scraping past the detectives’ \car, it sped up toward town. The headquarters car, snort- ing for the chase, backed around and took up the pursuit. The big gray car ahead ran smoothly, powerfully, every, block increasing the distance between it and the panting, puffing vehicle in rear. Through several city streets the chase continued, and it was only a.happily placed coal truck, blooking the way of the bootlegger car. which brought the race to an end. - The bootlegger in the car jumped out and escaped before the wheezing old headquarters car caught up. And when the headquarters car came to a pufing, snorting halt, its radlator steaming, the bottom dropped out! * % k % ‘Which brings to mind a very urgent need for the Washington police head- quarters force—an up-to-date, mod- ern, high-powered automobile. The car described as chasing the boot- legger was one of two machines fiow in the possession of detective head- quarters. Both of them avere born about the year 1913,\which, in the life of a car, corresponds to the span of the ave]l known Methuselah. It's well nigh ridiculous to think of tne motor equipment of, detective headquarters—which must cope with the very latest thing in the way of automobiles used by criminals—being ocnfined to two old automobiles man- ufactyred in 1913. It is a matter of common knowledge that the automo- bile criminal of today equips himself | with the most powerful, speediest car that money can buy. He has the money. But the policeman who must catoh 'him hasn't, and therein lies this story. * k ok ¥ Many and urgent are the demands which come on detective headquar- ters. Sometimes it is a murder, which requires instant action, for the quicker the detective hits the trail, the hotter the scent and the greater the chance of capturing the criminal. Sometimes it is a bootlegging car, al- | ways powerful and swift, which must be headed off or pursued until caught. Or it may be a riot call from some outlying section of town. the situation, the police should be adequately equipped to meet it. Whatever | been able to keep the two old head- rters cars running. Many days the bootlegger with its bottom drop- ping out is a case in point. Too many men got in the other car_the other day and broke it down. Both are running again now, but just run- ning—that's all, just running. * % % % The police department needs more and better cars for all its precincts, but the most glaring need is at de- tective headquarters. And this Is going to be remedied If the District conferees allow the $10,000 appropri- ation passed by the Senate to remain. A speedy, powerful car, at a cost of $4,000 or more, will be purchased for headquarters and two or three other cars obtained for pecessary work in the precincts. The polite department asked $25,000 for new automobile equipment. The budget bureau slashed this to $10,000 and the House cut that in half. But the Senate restored the $10,000 and the Commissioners hope the conferees will “allow it to remain. If they don’t, headquarters must shuffle along on its two cars of ancient vintage, or else purchase a new car which is not up to the standards re- quired by the work. * X Xk % “The whole automobile situation in the police department is one urgent- 1y in need of remedy. Including the motor van, which hauls prisoners to the District jail and transfers them to0 and from the Police Court and the precincts, there are only twenty- three motor vehicles possessed by the metropolitan police. Some of these are a much advertised make of little car which does excellent work, but which, by its very nature of construction, cafnot stand up to the duties required. The result is that the cars are in need of con- stant repair and, although the repair work has been kept to a minimum consistent with the need. it ate up about seven-twelfths of 'the appro- priation for motor equipment allowed the District police last year. As is often the case in trying to work out economies, economy in this case is carried so far jt ceases to be a saving. The cars in possession of the police now are deteriorating with such rapidity that their upkeep is becoming more expensive than their replacement with new cars. But the appropriation now in view for motors in the police department will allow the purchase of a very few cars in addition to the one which must be obtained for headquarters work. Returning to the old headquarters cars, it is interesting to note that when they are both in the shop and no_ means transportation p: vided detectives have had to use their own cars. As they must pay for their own gas, oil and damages incurred in the work, the detectives are to be commended for tha volun- tary loan of their vehicles, which has enabled police work to be carried on Through constant and careful at- tention the police department has even at the expense of the members of the force.

Just how existing authority, if it is sufficient, is to be utilized, however, from being in agreement. There seems to be strong indorsement for the administration proposal that the operators be compelled to negotiate with the miners. Alleged arrogance on the part of the former generally is condemned and criticized. The news- papers take a very hopeful view of the outlook.. The time of the strike, they ‘hold, makes it unlikely that there will be any real suffering by the pub- lic at large. The stocks on hand are sufficient to hold all large concerns, public utilities and the lik least three months.

But “movies” for mov- ing plctures is rejected. “Make good” and “Carry on” can hardly he the strike. The miners are willing to talk termg The operators are not. It becomes, fhen, a strike of the opera- tors against the miners.” - However, the New York Globe (independent) feels certain that it is the duty of the government to prevent a strike under any circumstances. “The pres- ent dispute is not a private affair,” it declares, and points out that after a strike takes place a commission must be named to mediate for peace. It concludes by insisting that the operators and the miners right now “can surely work out as just a con- tract as could the commission which President Harding would appoint. They will serve their own interest as well as_the public by so doing.” The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot (inde- pendent democratic) also insists that an immediate conference between the parties would bring about a settle- ment. “Only by doing so (meeting the miners) can the operators absolve blame for what is to come,” it gays. The Scranton Times (democratic), in the center of the anthracite region, and therefore presumably well post- @4, reflects a feeling of optimism to- ward the contemplated strike, It very frankly gives credit for good faith to both sides, saying “we feel confident that neither miners nor operators this year will act hastily or jeopardize their own or the coun- try’s, interest.” The manner in which the bitumin- ous strike was settled by former President Wilson and Attorney Gens eral Palmer is criticized sharply by the Chicago Tribune (independent re- publican), and it strongly opposes a superficial conference in. which both sides will fight “only for their own interests.” It believes that the oper- ators want a strike because they now are in “an excellent position” to win it. “The causes’” it says, many and varied, Including fluctuations in demand, wasteful methods of mining, resals, specula- “are . . tlon, transportation difficulties innumerable others.
