AN ANXIOUS EXPERIMENT.
President Roosevelt’s visit to a submarine was a little interlude to his efforts on behalf of peace. We admire his pluck, but we pity the un- ! happy crew which had to navigate the boat under such anxious circum- ] stances. It was raised and lowered ■ and twisted ahd turned in the most j alarming fashion, and part of the j navigation was conducted while the | lights were out. This is not all. The President himself had a free hand with the levers, and we venture to suggest that never, even upon the ltocky Mountains, has his life been in such peril. We are reminded of the days when the steam hammer was a novelty, .and Prince and Princes and Princesses of the blood used to place their watches i and even their hands upon the anvil, while some unhappy workman, perspiring with anxiety, lowered the huge mass of steel to within a hair’s breadth of the object in question, it was all very pretty, but —we shudder.—" Daily News."
