The Belgian Horse.

American draft horses are Aot caus-
Ing breeders in Belgium any alarm at
present, however it may have been In
the past. The Belgian stock, and nota-
bly, the Flemish breed of that stock, is
now the most sought after for heavy
draft horses, according to Consul John
son, stationed at Liege. This horse has
not been a favorite with breeders In
the United States, and it is claimed In
the Belgian markets that the American
horses sent there are inferior to the
native stock. Last year Belgium I'M
ported III horses from the United
try.
Although good horses are in demand
in the United States, 1t is said that
farmers have to great extent aban-
doned breeding. One reason given for
this Is that, while horses are quoted at
a high figure in stock markets, the
average breeder does not realize any
where near the figures expected when
he offers his animals. On the other
hand, it is said that the farmers do not
breed according to the requirements Of
the market. Perhaps the root of the
matter lies in the want of good breed
ing stock to begin with. The prices
placed upon good breeding stock in Bel
GUM by the owners are prohibitive,
and Intentionally so, for the purpose of
keeping the very best specimens at
home. Consul Johnson states that $16,-
600 was recently offered for the cham
pion Belgian breeder Of 1906-9. In 1890
the most noted Belgian breeder was
sold for about 1920. This remarkable
rise in prices is due in part to the con-
servative action Of native owners Of
this class Of stock and also to the high
appreciation of the Belgian working
horse in all the countries of Europe

Many philosophers and publicists
and not 4 few rash statesmen venture
advice to the world about the status
of women. They appear to be trou-
bled lest women shall want to or be
unwisely allowed to go somehow"
wrong. Yet every days developments
the world over show that woman is
keeping step with the age. A woman
won the first choice of q Rosebud
farm. A woman has had the crowned
heads of two or three kingdoms by the
ears the last six months. Women have
stormed parliament to right their
wrongs Just as men do and are organ
izing and training to put it on con-
gress in the same way.
The ideal man of the times is not the
mollycoddle, but the other fellow. If
women seem inclined to cut out the role
of wallflower, to even make every
year leap year, so to speak, when 1t
comea to wooing opportunity, it may
be due to the trend of the race today
and not to any distinctly feminine zest
for new and novel spheres.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1908-11-04

For weeks every fall season there is
activity on all the rifle practice ranges
of the country fostered by the national
government. High records are sought
by regulars and militiamen alike. AT
t1rst blush this seems militarism car
ried to the extreme. Perhaps it will
work the other way.
Teaching men to kill is comparatively
new. During the civil war Ned Bunt-
line asked Grant to let him go out be-
tween the lines and "sharp shoot"
Grant refused, saying, you're too anx-
ious for wounds and glory" That was
about the estimate placed upon this
business by all real soldiers during the
war. 1t was murder. A few crack
corps were trained for special purposes
but the majority of the soldiers never
felt themselves able to kill anybody
for certain. Many declared they didn't
want to know 1t If their bullets hap
pened to kill. Perhaps when the boys
now in training realize what 1t really
means to shoot straight in war they'll
ground arms and join the peace forces.

The Direct Primary Under Trial.

The Direct Primary Under Trial.
Although the direct primary idea Is
spreading rapidly over the whole cOun-
try, 1t seems that not anything near
perfection has been reached. A "sec-
ond choice is already suggested as
necessary to insure the nomination Of
a candidate who has substantial sup
port and is really the choice declared
by the voice of the primary.
It has been demonstrated in several
communities where the direct primary
has been in operation In more elec-
tions than one that the innovation has
weak points as well as advantages.
Enthusiastic supporters have freely
admitted that. One formidable crit
icI6m Of the method is that while it
does bring the electorate closer to the
government 1t may at times tend to
restrict the field from which candi-
dates may be taken and, as one op-
posing interest expressed 1t, ISLAM the
door in the face Of the poor man who
may aspire to Office" A system which
is unfair in nominations would be like
ly to be seriously defective wherever
the direct primary has practically the
force of an election, finality toward
which the direct primary movement
seems to lead.

Giving Boys q Start.

The son of the wealthy owner of
the New York Tribune working as a
common reporter and the presidents
hopeful toiling in a factory are exam
pies of the traditional American way
Of giving boys start. A stock of ex-
perlence Is the best start today, and it
is likely to remain SO. Wealth in in
dustrial enterprises is not so stable as
wealth in land in countries where all
sorts Of privileges go with the land.
In the old world one son in the family
Is born to something. In this country
no son is born to anything imperisha-
Bile, except chunk of the prevailing
atmosphere Of gumption.
When the first Vanderbilt had his
millions all tied up in railroads and
was looking to the future he sent the
brightest Of his boys, Bill, to farming.
His argument was, "If a man can sue
ceed on a farm he can succeed any
where, and If he can't succeed there he
can't anywhere" Bill made good and
became railroad king. Several Of the
heads of great railroads today began as
mechanics or clerks or somewhere at
the foot Of the classin railroading. They
didn't learn to be railroad presidents
in the presidents Office, but gravitated
to the top because they possessed that
practical experience without which no
railroad can be managed. Experience
plus capital to work it out is, Of
course, the very best inheritance. But
the experience is the only part that
cannot be alienated.

The old sneer of the English, "Who
reads an American book?" has been
changed to "What good is an Ameri-
can book?" Scanning the home field,
disappointed critic declares that the
average English novel sis not any
good to any one" and adds that the
average American novel is even more
without excuse for being.
1t Is significant that the English turn
to American literature even though
they find grounds for disappointment
and sharp criticism. They may learn
to like 1t better if they persist. 1t is not
addressed to an English audience, as
a rule, and the reader on the other side
must get the American point of view
before he can judge its literary merits.
We have to make allowance for novels
produced In France, Germany and
Russia, and it is well known that
many English novels popular at home
fall Nat here because the atmosphere
which produced them leaves its mark
on every page.

The Future Of Submarines.

The future of the submarine vessel

be itself invulnerable to attack except
from other airships.
Should the warship that plows the
wave be driven from the sea by the
guerrillas of the air the submarine
craft will find its occupation gone.
There will be no monster battleships
to stab with torpedoes. The next evO-
luton would naturally be disappear
ing warship that could sink and dodge
the airship's fire, then come to the sur
face for execution against the allies Of
the airship. Up to date the submarine
has proved more dangerous to its own
side than it could be to the enemy.
Submarines are ingenious and inter-
esting, but their practical value is yet
to be demonstrated.

The Delaware and Eastern Rail-
road.

Last Saturdays issue of the Scranton
Financial Review says
If the Delaware & Eastern ever does
run between Schenectady and Wilkes
Barre, it will be after having lived down
as much real trouble as ever came to
any railroad. AS is well known, some
fifty miles of this road is in operation in
New York, and the plan is to push it
north to Schenectady and south to Wilkes
Barre via IiOnesdale, Moscow and Pitts
ton.
Things apparently started very smooth
ly at first. The line is well laid out,
and has established excellent connec-
tions, the grade is very small, and abun
dant traffic in coal, timber and stone in
sight. Last June, President Soaring an
nounced that the entire bond issue of
about $6,000,000 had been purchased
abroad, that construction work would
Immediately proceed and that by next
year the road could be expected to be
completed.
But last August hitch came, in the
shape of temporary injunction re-
straining assignment of the ID. & f. con-
struction contract. This was requested
to be made permanent, but decision has
as yet been withheld.
1t is evident that the previously an
nounced sale of bonds did not come off,
although why the parties concerned
should have prevented it, when their
own claims would have been liable to
satisfaction because of it, does not ap-
pear. The situation is somewhat COM
plicated.
A railroad planned as this one, would
be of immense advantage to this region
and especially to Wayne County. From
reports, there appears to be sufficient
traffic to make it pay, and we sincerely
hope to see the line completed.
