DONT ROCK THE BOAT
VITH tne country's rela
TJ? tions with Germany at a
critical stage there is
but one course open to the Am
erican people and that consists
in giving loyal, united support
to the administration in what
ever action the president sees
fit to take.
The administration is in pos
session of all the facts which
includes much information of
which the public may be una
ware or regarding which there
may be doubt because of con
flicting reports. It roes with
out saying the nation will be
justified in insisting that its
rights be respected and the
rules of the sea be observed
But let this be done without
recourse to war. The world
has enough war underway al
ready. Half the world is drunk
and it behooves a country like
this to remain sober. America
has a higher duty than that of
participating in the present
fight We can best serve civi
lization by keeping aloof if we
can and thus remaining in posi
tion to aid a peaceful settle
ment when the time comes.
May the country be able to do
this. Meanwhile the task will
be made easier for the admin
istration if the people will keep
their shirts on.
"This is Tio time to rock the
boat."

PLUGGED PIPE LINE"
rt NDER the above her.dine
the New York World has
me iouowmg wiwrtMiug
comment upon the Riggs bank
cast! :
In spite of President Wilson's
refusal to read a political issue
into the Riggs banic case, the
issue was distinctly political.
The Riggs bank, which has
long maintained close relations
with the National City Bank of
New York, and formerly main
tained close relations with the
United States treasury, asserted
that the secretary of the treas
ury and the comptroller of the
currency had been actuated by
malice and vindictlveness in
their regulation of the bank's
methods of doing business.
The National City Bank has
long been the financial leader
of the anti-administration forc
es in Wall Street. When the
. Riggs bank began its proceed
ing against Mr. McAdoo and
Mr. Willitms, the head of the
National City Bank sent letters
to every national bank in the
country urging support. A
clean-cut issue was drawn be
tween the Wilson administra
tion and the banking methods
which the Riggs bank exempli
fied and the National City
Bank championed.
In spite of the refusal of the
president to find political sig
nificance in this proceeding, it
was loaded with political dyna
mite. If it had been proved
that the president's secretary
of the treasury and the presi
dent's comptroller of the cur
rency had been actuated by
personal malice and personal
vindictiveness in dealing with
a powerful but politically hos
tile aggregation of banking
capital, the consequences
would have been serious, in
deed, to the administration. Its
good faith would have been
impeached, its financial poli
cies discredited, and the coun
try would have reached the re
luctant conclusion that the
great authority of the treasury
was used as an instrument of
financial persecution against
bankers hostile in politics to
the party in power.
What has happened, how
ever, is quite the reverse. The
court holds that, "the good
faith of Mr. McAdoo and the
comptroller is absolute and
complete." The court holds
further that "the bank persist
ently violated the law long be
fore Mr. Williams was comp
troller and these violations
continue to the present day.
The only question that remains
at issue is whether the comp
troller had the technical power
under the statute to impose a
fine for these particular viola
tions of the law. If he had so
chosen he had full legal power
to close the bank and ask for
the appointment of a receiver,
The opinion of the court as to
Riggs banking methods shows
that such drastic action might
easily have been justified in
law if not in expediency.
The one great fact that
stands out in these proceedings
is that the United States gov
ernment under the Wilson ad
ministration is not in partner
ship with Wall Street finance,!
and that the pipe line that used)
to run into the United States j
treasury is plugged. That is
a condition of affairs that j
ought to be no less gratifying
to honest bankers than to all
other honest citizens.
CIVIC CITfzENSHIP RE
CEPTIONS HE suggestion of civic re
Vjj ceptions on July 4, or
other appropriate days,
to foreigners naturalized in
each community during the
year is by no means fanciful.
There was a time when the
great privilege of American
citizens was conferred at
wholesale, almost indiscrimi
nately, in crowded courtrooms,
as election day approached;
pvhen inquiry into fitness was
perfunctory or wholly lacking;
when court fees were paid by
party committees which asked
a return in votes. The process
has since been somewhat per
fected, but still has too little
jthat is calculated to make the
right kind of an impression on
' tVi a TA1V1 nf i1 1 OlMf
Anything that will tend to
magnify in a proper way in the
mind of the new citizen the
value of the gift he has just
received and the importance of
a right exercise of its privileges
will serve a good purpose.
Nonpartisan civic receptions of
the sort specified would facili
tate the work of the great Am
erican melting pot.
Native-born citizens just ar
rived of age, as well as natural
ized citizens may properly be
included among the commun
ity guests of honor at such re
ceptions. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

HOW TO HEAL
SKIM-DISEASES
A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suflcring
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and sim
ilar Itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist's eot a jar of
resinol ointment and a cake of reainol
soap. These will not cost bit more
that seventy-five cents. With ths res
Inol soap and warm water bathe the af
fected parts thoroughly, nntil they are
free from crusts and the skin Is soft
ened. Dry very gently, spread on s thin
layer of the rcsinol ointment, and cover
with light bandage if necessary to
protect the clothing. This should be
done twice a day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stop with ths
lint treatment, and the skin toon be
comes clear ana healthy again.
A HINT FOR SHAVERS
If yon want a refreshing shave, with
a thick, creamy lather, try a reainol
shaving stick. It contains the soothing,
healing reainol medication which
makes it especially welcome to men

Divorce of Lake
(From the Chicago News.)
In a ruling announced on Saturday
the interstate commerce commission
has ordered the railroads owning ves
sel lines on the great lakes to dls-!
pose of these hollngs. All the vessel
lines operating regularly between
Buffalo and western lake ports are
now owned by railroads. The new
ruling becomes effective Dec. 1.
Therefore presumably It will not af
fect navigation during the present
season.
Evidently the commission believes
that under the Panama canal act,
which forbids ownership by railroads
of boat lines competing with the land
lines of their owners, it had no dis
cretion but to compel their divorce.
If the commission had the power to
use its own discretion In this matter
the Issuance of the order might not
have been deemed expedient at this
time. However, the fundamental Is
sues involved had to be met sooner
or later and perhaps it Is as well thai
there is to be little further delay in
meeting them.
In acquiring control of all the reg
ular vessel lines between Buffalo and
western lake ports the railroads were
not actuated by a desire to promote
lake traffic. Broadly speaking, they
sought to lessen the Importance of
lake carriers as competitors of the
rail carriers. The public would be
better off had the railroads never en
tered the field of water transporta
tion on the great lakes. It ta possi
ble, however, that 1n the near future
CURRENT THINKING
THE HIGHEST PATRIOTISM
From the Chicago News.)
What it means to be an American
citizen was admirably set forth by
President Wilson in his address In
Philadelphia on Monday, to 4,000
naturalized Americans. Much of
what he said in that address will live
long. Not only should It stimulate
true patriotism, which is the patriot-
Ism of humanity, but it should atlm
ulate right thinking with respect to
Internaional relations.
The highest form of patriotism was
defined most clearly, perhaps. In the
passage in which the president told
his hearers that they could not dedi
cate 'themselves to America unless
they became thorough American In
every respect. "You cannot become
thorough Americans," said the pres
ident, "If you think of yourselves In
groups. A man who thinks of him
self as belonging to a particular
national group in America ha not
yet become an American, and the
an who goes among you to trade up
on your nationality is no worthy son
to live under the stars and stripes."
It Is true and we should all realize
it that thinking in terms of groups
either with respect to nationality or
economic standing or divergences of
religion or any such divisions. Is a
denial of the fundamental democracy
that moot nearly exprewies the Ideal
out of which grew this great nation.
While making It clear to his hear
ers that no foreign born citizen of the
t'nlted States should be expected to
renounce his affection for the home
of his birth and the nation of his or
igin, the president gave them the ur
gent advice not only always to think
first of America, but always to think
first of humanity. "You do not love
humanity,'' he declared, "If you seek
to divide humanity Into jealous
camps. Humanity can be welded to
gether by love, by sympathy, by
Justice not by jealousy and hatred, 1
am sorry for the man who seeks to
make personal capital out of the pas
sions of his fellow men. He has lost
the touch and Ideal of America, for
America was created to unite man
kind by those passions which lift and
not by the passions which separate
and debase. We came to America,
either ourselves or In the persons of
our ancestors, to better the Ideals of
men, to make them see finer things

and Rail Line
the facilities for freight traffic by wa
ter will be lessened because of the
action of the federal authorities In
driving out of business the sole
owners of vessel lines operating be
tween Buffalo and western ports. If
the railroads merely transfer their
holdings to friendly interests hiving
an Independent legal existence, the
situation may be made neither better
nor worse. If the boats are disposed
of in such a way that they are taken
out of the lake service, the facilities,
at least for a time, may be greatly re
duced.
Because of the Interstate commerce
commission's order the opportunity Is
presented for a real revival of water
traffic on the great lakes. The
freight shipping Interests, however.
must take hold of the matter If this
is to be the outcome. In earlier
years the railroads were able to drive
Independent lake lines out of exist
ence by refusing them dock facilities
and through route and Joint rate ar
rangements to the seaboard. Under
the Interstate commerce law as It now
stands, refusals of this essential ser
vice are forbidden. Therefore It is
In the power of the Interstate com
merce commission to guarantee to In
dependent vessel owners fair treat
ment at the hands of connecting rail
lines.
In these circumstances efforts
should be put forth by men Interested
In securing low freight rates to devel
op and maintain on the great lakes
vessels serving the interests of ship
pers.
than they had seen before, to get rid
of things that divide and to make
sure of the things that unite."
Such passages from this remark
able address deserve to be cherished
by Americans as Lincoln's memorable
words at Gettysburg are cherli.hed.
They, like the words of Lincoln, ere
an expression of the life purpoie of
this nation. A full understanding of
these truths makes It easy to grasp
the president's meaning when he
spoke of the man who Is "too proud
to fight." Deep significance lies In
his assertion that "there is such a
thing as a nation being so right that
It does not need to convince others
by force that It Is right."
Ours Is a nation "conceived In lib
