In announcing that the silly bio- graphical sketch of Newton D. Baker, ex-Secretary of War, which appears in | the revised Encyclopaedia Britannica | enjoys the indorsement of their juds- méent, and that it will stand as writ- ten, the editors of that publication do { a more serious harm than that of stimulating doubt as to their individ- ual ability as judges. For whether or not the contributor, the editors, a portion or a majority of the American public believe that Mr. | will be spared from many crimes. Baker, in his capacity as Secretary of War, lacked “energy, foresight and ability”; whether or not “the charge of pacifism or of failure adequately to prepare for the war was often brought” against him, is not the main point in volved. Fair-minded and conscientious men may honestly differ in opinion upon these matters—and do. But that any fair-minded or conscientious man | should consider the sketch published under Mr. Baker's name as an un prejudiced synopsis of his work and achievements in an office of great im- portance is incredible. 1t is in that fact that the principal harm in an altogether regrettable in- cident is centered. The value of that tremendous work which is the En- cyclopaedia Britannica must repose in the confidence of the public that its contents represent an accurate, un- biased and cemplete statement of fact on the various subjects treated. The appreciation of the editors of their re- sponsibilities along these lines is indi- cated in the editorial introduction to the eleventh edition. Spencer Baynes, in his preface tq the ninth edition, is auoted as insisting that the Encyclo- paedia Britann “has to do with knowledge rather than opinion, and to deal with all subjects from a critical | and historical rather than a dogmatic point of view.” The editor of the most recent edition then proceeds to give assurance that “the same policy has inspired the eleventh edition,” and that it would deal with controversial questions, “so far as criticism is con- | cerned, in such a way-that the con- troversial points may be understood { Rudyard records a name and an address, even|Way of demonstrating—of advertising though it is knhown that the man who |their number and condition and ap- buys hag no right to carry a gun and |Pealing for sympathy and aessistance. takes it away in his hip pocket, there- | The way here suBgested would, to the by from that instant violating the law. lenent that 1t copled thé American epl- In this case the pistol toter was }sode from which it takes its same, re- caught before he used the gun, but for | sult in’futility, and might impose ad- every such case there may be & dozen |ditional hardships on all participants where the gun is used and its use is | by inviting ridicule.. the first exposure of its existence.

Some- times faith is broken on the score of printing. Perhaps this is the case with Mr. Kipling. Maybe he talked freely because he felt secure from print. The views expressed in the published inter- view certainly accord with his known opinions, not heretofore impounded in type. Buf inasmuch as he now denies that he had any interview the record must be closed for the present on the faith of his declaration, and he must be absolved even though he did not ac- company his denial of the specific ut- and appreciated, without prejudice ‘fl!terance ascribed to him with some the argument.” That assurance has, in the case of Newton D.

The public should, | however, either by a correction of the article in question be assured of the | good faith of the editor of the Encyclo- paedia Britannica in adhering to his ‘legitimate field, or be advised that henceforth one may expect to find the | greatest reference work of all time—a | work professing to maintain “the| highest standard of scholarly author- ity,” and purporting to supply * trustworthy guide to sound learning —enlivened by the colorful, if fictitious, pronouncements of perfervid politics. The Lincoln Statue Replacement. Announcement is made by the su- perintendent of public buildings and grounds that the work of restoring| the Lincoln statue to approximately its original position in front of the courthouse will be completed “before the enow flies.” The Star wishes to repeat its suggestion that, this memo- rial thus replaced, a ceremony be had to commemorate the re-establishment | of the first tribute to Lincoln erected In this country. Undoubtedly there are many Wash- ingtonians now living who were pres- ent on the occasion of the unveiling of the Flannery statue of the martyred | President. It would be most appro- priate if they could be again present at the rededication. Patriofic organiza- tions should arrange a program suit- able to the occasion. 1t might be that the dedication could be more appropriately held on the an- niversary of the birth of Lincoln, Feb- ruary 12. That, however, 1s a question of convenience. It is desirable that the ceremony should take place while Congress is in session, for it was by the vote of Congress that this statue was first ifiadvertently removed from its long-occupled site and then de- measure of appraisal of America’s part in the war. If Mr. Kipling had been wise, which the original interview as printed sure- v suggests he is not, he would have either let it stand or else have has- tened into” print an appreciation of this country as the factor of victory. Touching on the question of wisdom, it will be remembered that a single bit of verse written years ago stands be- tween Rudyard Kipling and the poet laureateship of England. While the descendants of “The Widow of Wind- sor” rule England he will never broach the ‘butt of Canary. Maine and Elsewhere. Monday’'s Maine majorities are siza- ble. They ought to satisfy the Tepub- licans, and probably they do. The figures, of course, are not properly comparable with the figures of 1920. ‘We shall not soon again see majorities piled mountain high as two vears ago. It is not desirable that we should. But those majorities should not give the winners too much satisfaction— should not lull republicans elsewhere to repose. There is a *hoss race” in progress, and between now and No- vember there will be tests of speed and endurance. The tariff made its usual appeal in Maine. The state of Blaine and Dingley and Reed could not but be in- terested in a year of tariff revision. Interest, too, was aroused by the merchant marine question. Maine knows all _about merchant ships. In times past many good ones were built in her yards and manned by hardy sons of her soil. Some of the fastest and stanchest of the clippers and many of the ablest of the able seamen came from up Mairie way. And those two issues will spread out pretty well over the country. The tariff has done duty repeatedly, while the value of a merchant marine of large proportions and latest equipment is now being explained to voters at a distance from salt water. The republicans were alert as to Maine, and have their reward. They liberately restored in responsé to o aroused public feeling on the subject. ——————— Mention of Mr. La Follette as a pos- sible candidate appears to have been inspired by a needless fear that the next presidential campaign will not be sufficiently exciting. Gun Toter and Gun Seller. A man ‘who was caught with a large pistol concealed in his clothes was yes- terday sentenced in Police Court tp serve 360 days in jail.

But there is no law in the District to punish the promis- cuous, unwarranted sale of deadly weapons. There is nothing whatever to prevent any person arming himself for any purpose whatever.

One cannot help but wonder what will be the next demand made by the young woman of today. Will she demand, in the near future, an in- closed gondola at the bottom of the “blimps” that will, ere long, be cruis- ing all over the country? * kX % HE following story comes fram the golf course and Is vouched for by several of the regulars who play at the East Potomac Park. It appears that a young man was voicing a com- plaint about the beginners’ .course, stating that there are too many trees on the smaller links. As he becomes more familiar with the game he will appreciate that trees, natural hazards, are much desired by those who really love the game because it is a test of skill. * ¥ X % URING the early part of the spring two members of one of Wash- ington’s well known clubs were dis- cussing their ability as farmers. The controversy waxed hot until finally one of them declared that he knew more about farming in a minute than the other could know in ten years. The result of the argument was a wager between them as to which could raise the larger ear of corn. Through the kind offices of a friend they secured space in his garden and, instead of spending their vacation out of town, all during the summer MAJOR” ' growing stalks. The wager .is to be settled some time this week, and it is not improbable that Secretary of Agriculture Wallace will be called on | to decide as to' who {s the winner of the bet. < - * % x EEN observers in driving through the pleasure highways of the District will, If they are particular- ly observant, note that the fastest! drivers are those having the highest numbered license tags. The reason! evidently is that those who have but recently purchased automobiles have not yet learned that the joy of motor- ing consists not in excessive speed, but rather a slow silent covering of miles. While on the subject of license tags a word of commendation should be given to the excellent filing system that is employed by the District of Columbia. This condition of aflalra] ‘was brought to my attention the other night, when I happened to listen tol the conversation of a' motorist whose car had been pushed ahead by an- other autoist. The complainant gave the officer the number of the car that had caused the damage, the po- liceman, golng to a police patrol box, called up headquarters and within less than three minutes he had secured the name, address of the owner of the car and a complete description of the vehicle and such other informa- tion was needed. * * % BOUT a week ago a man who has for several months been trying to secure a sizable bank account, via the route of hard wec .k, received a tip that a certain stock was going to take a jump within the next few days. His source of information was from a very prominent individual who plays | a rather important part in shaping| the destinies of the nation. The hum- ble worker took what available cash he had in hand and trailed along with those who were supposed to be “in the know,” but, like the best laid plans/ of mice and men, the coup was not executed. In fact, the stock, instead of going up, tobogganed at a rate that speedily wiped out the margins. The fact that several big—that i big financially—men were interested in the matter appeared to make the thing a certainty. A friend of the “little fellow” was sympathiz- ing with him over his losses when the would-be Napoleon of Wall street said: “Of course, it was a jolt, but; Jmy losses compared to those of my friends make me feel like a comma months they carefully tended the - EDITORIAL DIGEST More Than Ordinary Interest in Hughes’ Brazilian Visit. Uncle Sam, “guest of honor,” in the Person of his Becretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes, has made his bow at the big party in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the St. Paul Pioneer Press expresses the felling of American news- papers In general, when it declares the event to be one of “more than ordinary interest.” ‘When the United States gave its birthday party In Philadelphia in 1876 “there was no more brilliant and not- able delegation sent to this country,” the Allentown Call reports. “than that which was headed by Dom Pedro, then Emperor to Brazil. Nor did any country contribute in larger measure to the success of that famous exposition than the country of our southern neighbo The Richmond Times Dispatch com plains that the return of that visit “has been long delayed,” but editors as a whole find the occasion of Brazil's birthday party to celebrate her one hundred years of independence a uniquely fitting time on which to re- near the end of a big sentence.” But “the task of Secr will be to reassure thes nations that find difficulty in recon ciling our performances with our pro- fessions,” and in the discharge of this task the Altoona Mirror finds “Infinite | possibilities for good. i In short, “what Americans can do | for Brazil” the Boston Herald regards | as “almost incalculable. The late James Bryce had that thought strong- 1y in mind when he quoted from an American traveler 'in the southland the words: ‘How men from the Mis- sissippl would make things hum along the Amazon!"

Would it not be a wonderfyl 1dea| if, in appointing members to the new federal commisston for studying the coal industry, the President should include among them a man or two| with experience in settling labor troubles?

Nevertheless, it happens that during the whole coutse | of the late coal strike and during the whole course of this still exlsungs rallroad shopmen's strike the advice turn the visit of the great Brazilian, and rejoice that this country is represent- ed by 50 able a statesman and diplomat as Mr. Hughes. For, as the Detroit ee Press puts It, with the American “premier’” delegated as ambassador ex- raordinary, “Brazil knows that we are sending our best, and we know that on the present occasion our best is very good,” while Mr. Hughes has be- fore him *‘one of the great opportunities of his career. Much interest In the exposition itself is felt by American papers. It bids fair, the Oakland Tribune sayé, “to be a ‘notable show. All the im- portant nations of the world and many of the unimportant ones are to take part. A number of important world conferences And -conventions will be held during the exposition, and the greatest art -céllection ever shown in South Arferica will be onj display.” The United States “will play a good part” in‘the’ affatr..the Rochester Herald reports. “Through a million-dollar appropristion by Congress' a handsome . building. has. been erected with a hall for the dis- | play of manufactured articles this country,” which _structure, the Sioux City Jourmal adds, -is. per. manent in character and will be used afterward as the United States em- bassy.” More than a century of independence is being commemorated in the great falr at Rlo, our editors point out. The Asbury Park Press points out that “pioneers in Brazil had more obstacles to contend” with than the pioneers who bullt this mnation. Transform- ing jungles into fertile flelds, effect- ing a marvelous development {n the face of semi-tropical conditions, Brazil has gone ahead steadily in making use of her natural Tesources an cdrrying out her republican ideals. Indeed, her progress “has been al- most too rapid,” the Wall Street Journal thinks, “her achievements need consolidation. Credit and good money will follow, and nothing will then be in” the way of Brazil be- coming a world power.” Certainly “the eyes of the world will be upon Brazil In_ the future,” the Duluth Herald believes, since, as the Cleve- land Plain Dealer sees it, “the vast- ness of its resources can socarcely be estimated.” Hence, the Ithaca Jour- nal-News adds, “there is almost no limit to its possibilities of develop- ment,” and “it seems destined to be one of the world’s major political units.” Already “Brazil has much to offer in_the way of trade,” Tacoma Ledger holds, “and there are many things which the United States produces for which a ready market in Brazil would be found if serious attempts were made to cultivate such markets” Because of all this the relations be- tween the great republics of North d South America are vital to both, and it is in the opportunity afforded to make these relations impregnable that the value of Secretary Hughes' visit 1fes. The two countries have al- ways been friendly, the Chicago Trib- une observes, and they “have much in common, The Brasilian constitution is patterned after our own, the na- .{ tion’s sentiments on the Monroe doc- trine are almost identical with ours. and American thoughts, ideals and purposes. are ‘honored and respected 'there.” The Utica Press finds that the relations between the United States d 1 “hmve been increasingly cordial and close” since Elfhu Root's successful mission in 1906, and rdiality and .co-opera- ~American m}lidlr: 0 that could be given by such men ap- parently has not been thought worth having at Washington. It would be Interesting to know just what labor troubles have been ended by that excellent man, Herbert Hoov- er, or by that excellent man, Albert D. Lasker, or by that excellent man, Harry Daugherty, or by that excellent man, Senator Cummins of Iowa. These men, in their respective spheres, are doubtless highly admirable.
