This is the season of war scares,

the army and navy and for the con-
tractors who furnish military sup
plies. There is report that the
Japanese government has successful-
ly negotiated with President Diaz OF
Mexico for a port and depot OF
supplies on the western coast. If
there were truth in this it would be
cause for immediate interference by
the United States government.

GERMANY SIGHTED.

Count Won Reventlow of Berlin is
the latest International humorist. He
is trying his best to start something
on the basis that the American Attain
tic fleet visited French and British
ports and did not stop at any German
harbor during the recent cruise. He
sees in fact a deliberate snub 10 Ger
many on the part of Uncle sam, and a
deep-laid plot for the formation of n
Franco British entente that
may prove a menace to Germany and
her interests on sea and land. He even
sees in the ''postprandial effervescense'
Of Commander Sims at the London
banquet an unintentional public ut
terance Of the sentiments that led TO
this discrimination" in the planning
of the battleship cruise and he wants
to know how President Taft can be so
inconsistent as to investigate the Sims
matter.
Count Won Reventlow is noted as an
anti-British and anti-American naval
critic, and so perhaps his sensations
over the American action are only TO
be expected, comments the Duluth
Herald. There was nothing in the ma
ture Of a slight to Germany in the bat
tleship cruise. That country suffered
no more than did Russia, Italy. Spain.
Holland, Norway, Sweden and lesser
European nations whose shopkeepers
got no chance TO bleed the Yankee
sailors by the sale Of curios and other
things. The cruise was made as a
measure Of peace and good will and
the attempt TO turn it into an express
sion of warlike alliance is not a bit
short Of absurd. The count had better
turn on the other side and see if the
change Of position will not give a bet
ter character to his dreams by taking
the pressure off his sword-arm.

THE HOUSE RULES.

The rules Of the national house were
not made yesterday, last week or last
year. They have grown up through
the time the House has been I'm exist
ence. They are the fruits Of exper-
fence. They are not changed, save in
minor respects. when the political
complexion Of the house changes.
Champ Clark will be found in the Six
ty-second Congress assuming his ele-
walton to the speakership) enforcing
practically the same rules that Joseph
G.. Cannon Is enforcing in the Sixty
first The recent action of the Demo-
Gratis proves that they do not care to
change the rules. If in some respects
the rules were inconvenient for the
Democratic minority in recent Con-
crosses, they will in all likelihood prove
inconvenient for the Republican min
ority In coming Congresses. This is
one Of the penalties of political defeat.
IL is not pleasant for the minority. but
IL is a condition that must be borne
just so long as majority rule and rep
resentative government shall be re-
garded as desirable.

THE MAN WITHOUT AN Ak TO
GRIND.

What I seek, welcome, prize, and
like to use, is the advice of men who
have no AK to grind."-Gov. Osborn.
1t is the experience of many men
that there are few desirable things
more difficult to obtain than dsinter-
ested advice. Those who have ad-
vanced TO position such as Gov. Osborn
now holds, where he is often depend
ent of counsel for his decisions. have
sometimes almost despaired of finding
such advice. Yet il is none the less
precious because Of its rarity Nor is
the quest of it hopless-though in the
opening days of his administration
Gov. Osborn may be pardoned If he
should be a little skeptical about it.
There are in state like Michigan
many stanchly patriotic men, OF deep
experience and broad education, who
would of a surety be glad to promote
the best interests of the common
wealth, and to give of their time and
means and thought If opportunity to
do so came. 1t is from them that the
governor may receive substantial help
for his own ideas of administration
and valuable suggestions that he might
not happen to hit upon. Sometimes
citizens of this kind have ventured to
propose improvements, and, like as not.
it has been their fate to run counter
to the advice of the gentleman with
the AK to grind.
Under administrations intensely de-
voted to political opportunism, the ak
to- grind brand was the favored goods.
And so many who might have been
enlisted in movements for the better
ment of the state have been discharg-
ed, and have left the field to the 9TH
ers. The encouragement which Gov.
Osborn extends them to cooperate
with him at least to the extent of i'm
parting their counsel is more than an
ncouragement-it is an appeal to
their patriotism, a challenge to their

MONEY IN LITTLE THINGS.

The announcement from Chicago
that a combine involving a $4,000 OOC
capitalization has been formed in
chewing-gum serves to illustrate once
more the enormous proportions which
the seemingly diminutive industries of
other days have assumed under the
modern system of manufacture and
distribution. IL also serves TO illus
trate the fact once more that pennies
count There is no need TO dwell upon
chewing gum in this connection.
Other small and more useful COM
modities are readily at hand, and some
of these, considered from the unit
point, give even greater force to the
now generally accepted business an
horism that there is big money in lit
tie things.
Take for example. pins, needles.
thread, tacks, nails or matches. mar
bles, toys or combs, brushes, tooth
paste or buttons, collars, cuffs-take
anything in common use, no matter
how cheap the individual piece or ar
ucle may be; manufacture IT on a scale
that will bring it a little below the es-
tablished price long enough to crowd
out competition or to compel opposi-
tion to come to terms, and the way is
open for consolidation and combination
and capitalization in millions.
This is modern industrialIsm in its
present stage Of development. The con-
Germ that turns out a commodity in a
small way cannot compete on equal
terms with the concern that can turn
out the same commodity in n large
way. And one Of the things that have
combined to revolutionize the indus
trial system in these latter years has
been the discovery that there is prae-
tically nothing in small way. from
brads TO buttons, from lead pencils TO
pies, from baseball bats TO biscuits.
that cannot be turned out in q big way.
