Uli) A man who was camping out in New Jersey was found unconscious as the result of mosquito bites. Some Jerscymcn go to the extreme limit in upholding the State's reputation. Turkey's threat of a separate peace treaty with A Just Cause That WiD Win. Regrettable as it is that Postmaster Praeger is not to be convinced of the real necessity for providing the Pennsylvania avenue business men with adequate postal facilities, it is not to be imagined for a moment that his decision is final. Even if Postmaster Praeger does not reverse himself within the year, the time is not far distant when his successor in office will establish the branch office which everybody outside the Post-office Department realizes is needed for the proper transaction of the business of an important section of the Capital.

The case of the merchants needs no argument. In fact the postmaster practically concedes the justice of their demands when he admits having considered the establishment of a branch post-office in the territory involved, and suggests a site a few blocks west and north 'of the present Postofnce Department, where the city postoffice was located until it was removed to a remote and inaccessible corner of the city. Probably there would be no opposition to the establishment of an office affording the postal facilities imperatively needed by the great business section between Seventh street and the Treasury Building at some point within the radius suggested by Postmaster Praeger. There is no insistent demand that the branch be re-established in the building once occupied by the city postoffice, even though that would seem to be the logical location. All that the business men of the city ask is that they be afforded adequate postal facilities in the central portion of Washington and that they shall not be compelled to transact their daily business at a point so remote as the Union Station.

Their re-, quest is altogether reasonable and there is nothing in the least convincing in Mr. Praeger's argument about the greatest good to the greatest num ber, viewing the postal service of the United States as a whole. There is no evading the issue, which is that a very large number of business men in an important section of Washington have been deprived of the postal facilities to which they are justly entitled. It will not do to answer that the parcel post accommodations in the outlying sections have been increased, because that does not touch the question involved. The business men of the section represented in the petition to the postmaster arc demanding the right to quickly and conveniently transact that part of their business which is dependent upon the mails, and this right they will eventually attain whether it be uirougn x-osimasicr rraeger or his successor.

"ABYRiflitr By JOHN BARRY. II. There is in a large city a. man who cannot get work. He often goes hungry.

To relieve his hunger he can do two things. He can beg and he can steal. If he is caught begging, he will be imprisoned. If he is caught stealing, he will be imprisoned. If he neither begs nor steals, he will suffer.

Have you ever gone for long hours at a stretch without eating? Most of us have, and most of us remember how ravenous we have been when at last we have found food within our reach. Mark Twain tells of going to a sanitarium in Germany to be treated for severe indigestion. The shrewd old German doctor in charge had the humorist taken to a room and instructed to go to bed. For hours and hours Mark Twain lay in bed. He began to wonder what the times for eating were in that institution.

Then he began to wonder if they had any times for eating. He became ferocious. He demanded food. But he didn't get it. The German doctor kept Mark Twain without food so long that even to that very humorous mind the situation ceased to be 'a joke.

Finally, the doctor allowed his patient to take a little nourishment, a very little. Mark Twain pounced upon it wolfishly. He had forgotten about his indigestion. nnnWyiC'r f. tJZ OUP COUNTRY-Q -OlJfi PRESIDENT mKnftmmmm tlWMMMW In those moments of extreme hunger when that man who is forbidden cither to beg or steal thinks I about society he must be in a very dangerous con dition.

We allow thousands and thousands of people to get into that dangerous condition men, women and children. With this fact in mind it is by no means easy to say, "All's right with the world." But there are those who declare we ought to say it whether it's true or untrue. They think that just saying "All's right with the world" helps to make the world right. lUa nlliAx if- wMsc- ctnnA 1 li rr(nortinrrc uritri 1 IWelnn.l.,. a1m w-fh-n trv, And UPn tllC SUbJeCt the P0Sta' Turk's enemies, belongs in the current humor class.

The fact that our present Secretary of State travels unostentatiously between his home and the State Department in a one-horse carriage may be construed in any way except as indicating a lack of courage and determination. A man who was reported dead and whose wife purchased an elaborate mourning outfit which she never had the opportunity to wear, has sued for divorce on the ground of desertion. So long as men refuse to recognize these simple feminine rights what hope can there be for woman suffrage? Peapack, X. has a contest on hand to determine who can kill the most flies during the season. The total number killed now exceeds 600,000.

Fifteen children arc taking part, and the leading five have together destroyed 501,506 flies. It is expected that at least 1,000,000 flies will die. The record of this comparatively insignificant town shows what may be accomplished by united and persistent effort. It is announced on the best of authority that A. Mitchell Palmer is not to be appointed Counselor for the Department of State, and it is suggested that this White House decision is due to the intimation that he is the of the recent disclosures inolving the German propaganda.

Mr. Palmer owes it to himself to remove this inpression, imperiling his political future, if it is within his povsibillics. As a memorial to the late Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the Bureau of Mines, of the Department of the Interior, the Colorado School of Minc has established the Joseph A.

Holmes professorship of safety and efficiency engineering. No more fitting memorial to a man whose life was deotcd -to safeguarding the lives of hh fellow men engaged hazardous pursuits could be dewscd.

No one will begrudge ihein their bliss, and there will be the hope that the awkening will be as belated as the realization of then dream. l-cry time an owner of a lot on the I nion Station pla.a is naid for his condemned property, after a delay nf two years, it is announced as some sort of a bcnetactiou on the part of the government, when on 'In- rontrarj it is merely the discharging of a long oxcrduc debt, after a useless commission has shaved off a portion to apply toward the payment of its own salary and expenses. When cery other mistake and injustice perpetrated by Ben Johnson, of Kentucky, chairman of the House Committee on the District of Columbia has been forgotten his monumental creation, the second Plaza Awards Commission, will be remembered. rendered to the citizens of Washington as a whole there will be few to deny that it is quite as bad as it was after Postmaster General Hitchcock's efficiency system, retrenchments and reforms were placed in full operation. And worse could not be said.

The Proof Is Yet Lacking. Yesterday was not without its evidence of a stampede in the direction of an accord with Germany, but with ery little in the way of substantial developments to justify it. So far there is nothing but surmise that Germany will back down from its asserted and reiterated intention too often exemplified in deed to sink without warning and at all hazards any merchantman that comes its way flying an enemy flag. Americans indulging in the hope that friendly relations with Germany arc to be maintained would do well to bear in mind that everything in the way of concession is yet to come from Germany, that the United States cannot recede one step from its demands set forth in the note of July 21. Germany must disavow and repudiate the act which sent the Arabic to the bottom, with the loss of American lives, and Germany must make solemn promise that there shall be no repetition of such act, if action by the United States toward an unfriendly nation, at war with nations with which this nation is on friendly terms, is to be averted.

There is a kind of optimism that is worse than pessimism. It is the optimism that sits down, holds its hands, and smiles. Meanwhile, the house may h.e burning. But this particular optimist doesn't see. He is absorbed in smiling.

Now optimism is a beautiful thing when backed by reason and courage. But without reason and courage it becomes a preposterous, flabby thing. It ceases really to be optimism. It is weakness, maudlin and fatuous. There is a far better optimism working its way through the world just now.

I have heard it called by various names. Judge Lindscy calls it the New Justice. This name is about as good as any of the names. In the New Justice we can find what seems to me the best expression of optimism. It frankly recognizes the evil conditions that prevail in the world today and it strives cheerfully, hopefully and energetically to call the attention of the world to these conditions and to change these conditions to better conditions.

The Submarine as a Boomerang. This country is not alone in suffering from the suomanne. uthcr neutral countries have had heavy losses, but usually without loss of life. Jow, however, the Spanish ship Pena Castillo has been torpedoed and the small number of sun ivors thus far reported makes it prob- aoie that the greater part of the crew is lost. If uiai proves to ue the case it will hardly strengthen the German propaganda which is hrintr nm.j as industriously in Spain as in this country.

The wiiiiK is mat tnc oerman government should think it worth while tn snml an effort to win sympathy for the German cause wniie tile merman admiralty goes on blowing the propaganda sky high with its torpedoes. In Snain there is a considerable pro-German spirit, specially ih in luyausi party, ana, tncretore, exerting an influence disproportionate to its numbers. But the German cause is not popular, and blowing up Spanish ships and sailors is not precisely the way to add to its popularity. Nor is it easy to awaken the old grudge against England when to England falls the handsomer role of saving lives at sea. Every neutral country to which the submarine campaign brings loss of life instantlv feels in a direct way what in the treatment of Belgium it had felt sympathetically.

The two together have done more to alienate the world from Germany man wic amesr propaganda could undo in a century. Springfield Republican. The North Sea and the Black. The Russians claim to have destroyed 000 Turkish ships in the Black Sea including, of course, small fishing and trading boats and in no rase to have done so without saving the lives of the crews. They accuse Germany of lying when she officially charged them with not giving the crews a chance to escape death.

Thev alsn nsl- why it is Germany thinks it wrong to sink ships uunom saving ineir crews in tne Jtsiack sea but perfectly proper in the North Sea. It is a geographical distinction they are not able to grasp. St. Louis Star. Ths news comes that gasoline dealers in Bay-onne, N.

have been obliged to pay I cent more a gallon for "gas" manufactured by the Standard Oil Company, and that they have therefore increased the -cost to automobilists to 14 cents a gallon. A month ago gasoline sold in Bayonne for II cents a gallon. The Standard Oil furnishes most of the gasoline used in this section. Last tnonth the company granted a 10 per cent increase to the strikers. This, some of the auto-inobilists believe, is responsible for the'jacking up of the price of gasoline.

More importance might be attached to such votes if there were visible signs of moral improvements where total abstinence now prevails in theory. The lynching of Leo M. Frank in a prohibition State, Georgia, shows no indication of uplift in that community. Philadelphia Record. Officially Great "I left thoroughly impressed with the fact that for an hour I had been in touch 'with one of the world's greatest men."

Georgia is competent to manaee her own af fairs except when she wants the Federal govern ment to eii ner cotton tor ner. imcw York ivea For. Until a short time ago the New Justice had not earned the right to be identified with optimism.

It showed a disposition to smite evil-doers, to hold them up to public contumely, to add to the enmity that, in life, is so powerful a force for the creating of evil. Now it is taking a far more wholesome and stimulating attitude. It is blaming not men, but conditions. It is getting down to the weaknesses of human nature. In its desire to help it includes all men, even those once classed as evil-doers.

It is bringing to the world a wonderful message, the message that the good of men is not achieved by men's preying on one another, seizing advantages from one another, but by opening up opportunities for all, by spreading the spirit of unselfishness and service. The New Justice is by no means merely sentimental. It is practical, too. It shows that its spirit leads not to loss, but to gain; not to the keeping back of the world from its resources, but to the releasing of the world's full riches, including the riches it has so long lost by burying marvelous possibilities of character and power in the depths of ignorance and poverty. With the present conditions in mind it is preposterous for any of us to say, "All's right with the world." But it is possible to say something infinitely finer, "All may yet be right with the world." And today we can say these words with more hope than they could ever have been said before.

For the movement has started. The spirit of the New Justice is abroad, seeking fulfillment through appealing both to the hearts and to the minds of men. It may not be a reality in your time or'mine. It may not be a reality for many generations to come. But it is a thing worth striving for through generation after generation.

And to us the greatest inspiration and joy should come from merely realizing that the -spirit is abroad and spreading. There is even a chance that some day it will burst into a flame in which all the old iniquities will be destroyed and the spirit of the world will be purified. But let us not be too hopeful Let us keep our heads. And let us, above all be careful not to blame those who, apparently, have not caught the spirit. It may be in their hearts way down deep.

It may be merely waiting for the right moment to come to express itself. With some of them it may be-all the deeper for being unaware of itself. Perhaps, through the wisdom of the quiet ones, the New Justice will be achieved, not through the social revolution of hate and tumult that so many of the agitators dream of, but through a revolution of the spirit, by which men will come into a ra1 imitrrttandinn-- enablinc- them' to sav that be cause they understand "all's right with the. world." -Aged Franz-Josef years and must soon' stand at the Judgment and plead, in answer to Uie charge of having obeyed the German-order topiunge into ine jmooqkh THE BURDEN OF DEBT.

It was but human nature that It should be so. No one could wonder that civil war had brought these too familiar things In its train.

The best Virginians had chosen as he had chosen; he could not Imagine how good men or true patriots anywhere could choose otherwise.

It was part of the almost universal demoralisation produced by the war that every sentiment should now exhibit its excess, every reaction prove dangerously violent. There was everywhere a sort of moral exhaustion: a relaxation of the very principles of Just and temperate government which the war had been fought to vindicate; a loss of tone, an access of perilous agitation. The war had brought many things In Its train calculated to work dls-l tress and to tlprow both morals and business Into confusion. For one thing. It had saddled the country with an almost Incalculable burden of debt The Individual States, the general Congress, towns, private persons even, had strained their credit to the utmost to meet the engagements and defray the expenses of a season during which business was oftentimes quite suspended and the ordinary sources of Income absolutely drletl up.

The States and the Congress alike had resorted to the demoralizing expedient of issuing paper money which they could not redeem. Its bulk bad. of course. Increased from year to year. and Its value had as rapidly declined.

The continental mpney In particular had fallen so in value that the commodity must have been valueless Indeed which fell under the reproach of being "not worth a continental." It was the good fortune of the Confederation to have Robert Morris, one of the most distinguished, honorable, and successful merchants of Philadelphia, In charge of Its treasury during the critical years of the final reckonings of the war (May. 17S1. to April. 1786) a man who had large means to pledge and who would pledge them to the last farthing to raise a sum of money upon an exigency, as Washington had done for the pay of his troops before Trenton.

(Written Kzrtfrir lor The Washinctrm nrll-) Hy DR. E. J. EDWARDS. About the time that the rate Parke Godwin was receiving the congratulations "of his friends that he had been permitted to celebrate his KOth birthday, while still In excellent mental and physical vigor, he spoke to mo remlnlscently of some of his associations with Ameri can authors who had gained great reputations In the mid-years of the past century.

Mr. Godwin, as one of the editors of Putnam's Mngazine, In the jears when that periodical was at. the height of its prosperity, was brought into association with all those who were achieving greatly as authors who were Americans and also some distingulsnca r-nmisii writers, especially Thackeray. These authors were accustomed to mako the editorial offices of Putnam's Magazine a sort of Informal club, for they gathered there frequently. "It Is an interesting fact." said Mr.

Godwin, "that, leaving out of consideration those who gained permanent tamo as historians, like Motley, Prescott, Bancroft, and one or two others, the most successful literary work was dono by men who recorded things Just as they saw them. "Almost all tho fiction which had for a time great notoriety Is now forgotten. I suppose that Mrs. Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Is the only one that will maintain a permanent place In our literature, and that Is due to a special reason. "There were three writers of narratives Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, and Francis Parkman whose works, at least the works of two of them, will be embodied In a list of permanent American literature.

I knew all three of these men, although I was not acquainted with Mr. Dana until he was In flourishing practice as a lawyer. "The literary triumph and tho assured fame which Parkman's book, "The Oregon and Dana's book, 'Two Years Before the and I was going to say Melville's book, have gained were due entirely to the ability these three men showed for very high-grade reporting. They told their stories as they saw things, exactly as they would If they had been repeating to friends some of their experiences. "It Is a curious fact that Dana went to sea.

Dana, on tho other hand, was restored to health by his Journey before the mast. Mr. Dana told me that he wrote the story which afterward became known as Two Years Before the without any thought of literary workmanship.

He wrote exactly as he would have done had he been communicating by letter with those who were dear to him at home. "Now it Is a strange thing that this book, which met with Instant success and was reprinted In England and translated Into other languages, could not be marketed by Mr. Dana for a sum larger than would hae been sufficient to pay for pen. Ink and paper. The best bargain he could make was a lump sum of 1200.

perhaps a little more. Yet tho book is classic, and it will be printed and reprinted as long as American literature lives." (CtorVright. 1015. br J. Edwards.
