GERMANY AND ARBITRATION.


Springfield Republican. What looks al
most like an international arbitration rush
is slgnalized by Germany's official hotice
OF her willingness to negotiate for a treaty
on the lines indicated by Secretary Knox's
tentative draft submitted recently TO Eng
land and France. Japan had already mani-

makers. The senate willing. this business
may prove to be the greatest achievement
Of the Taft administration.
New York Tribune But this proposal
from Germany is more far-reachng. II
Germany and Great Britain both enter
into such an understanding with the United
states the way would seem TO be open Tor

between themselves. and Germany also

done there would. OF course, be founda-
ton on which all could proceed TO a reduc-

was not overambitious when he Expressed
the hope that a world peace might grow
out Of his proposal to Great Britain.
New York World: A week ego certain
Irish American and German American
societies were stu protesting against the
ratification Of a general arbitration t,eaty
with Great Britain because II was "wen

VALUE OF MONOPOLY.

Supplies Partial Measure,
Kansas City star
Since the decision of the supreme court
ordering the dissolution OF the American
Tobacco company there has been a shrink
age OF about t50OOO.OOO. OF Is per cent. In
the market value OF the company's common
stock. The price has dropped from $50 to
1896 a share.
Keeping in mind the fact that the su-
preme courts decision was carefully for
mulated so as 20 give protection to the
legitimate property interests Of the cor
portion. this shrinkage In the price Of
the stock may be considered as represent
ing in part the value Of monopoly to the
company.
Its net earnings last year were Sc per
cent on the common stock. Such profits
are In themselves evidence of monopoly
and of the destruction of competition
through some other means than by giving
the best service at the lowest price.
The elimination OF the mOnopolistLc fea-
ture OF the business means reduced earn
ings for stockholders. but Il means. also
better tobacco at lower cost, to consumers
At the same time the facilities and
economies that are possible In doing bust
ness on a large scale are likely to tend
more and more toward concentration. even
with unrestricted competition, and there
fore strict.r government regulation Of large
corporations seems necessary even II the
enforcement OF the antitrust law succeeds
in checking the unfair methods by which
many existing trusts have been built up.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Where verdant hills stand friendly guar,
Ger pleasant pasture lands,
And fields with golden blossoms starred
The fine old homestead stands.
Its builders surely builded well
And planned their work to last;
Its sturdy timbers seem to tell
OF giants in the past
Old-fashioned flowers about II blow
In sheltered garden space;
And ancient elms in stately row
Their branches interlace.
Here honest toll brings sure reward;
Here vain ambitions cease;
With kindly nature in accord.

Springfield, (Mass) Republican Qnd)
The important question must soon be de-
cided whether Mr.. Bryan is the leader Of
the democratic majority in the house Of
representatives, and apparently the demo-
cratic caucus on the wool question is as
good an opportunity as will arrive to settle
the point. Mr.. Bryan declares for free
wool and blisters those democrats who
want a small duty for revenue purposes
as something akin to hypocrites and trait
ors. Should the next president happen to
be a democrat, how will he ever get along
with William?

1t Is high time that democrats were
speaking out plainly on this attempt to
dictate the party policies. Any well In
formed democrat knows that Bryan's high
handed course overload has been
privately criticised by congressman ana
others. but they have withheld public
criticism for fear of Bryan's opposition to
them. They ought at least emulate
Bryan's courage and say what they think
Of his conduct. One thing is certain, the
masses are becoming tired OF 1t and dis
gusted with 1t. They do not intend to put
up with any self-constituted boss and they
would scarcely be deserving of the bless
inga Of free government II they permitted
anything OF the sort.

PhlIadeIphia Record tdem.)
The Record was an advocate Of free wool
before Mr.. Bryan had shed his political
milk teeth. 1t is still for free wool and
for other free raw material, as fast and as
far as the necessary changes in tariff rates
may be so adjusted as to keep the wheels
moving in the interval of adjustment. II
the treasury could so arrange as to get
along without the S41, 100000 which would be
lost to the revenue IL wool were put on the

Bryan's Tariff Views.

AIIuI0IINF'OHa' tFNW5 NIIU'J'
Mr.. Bryan should remember that he him
self was not always as firm as he is now
in his tariff views. The convention which
nominated him in 1895 deliberately re-
pudiated the democratic tariff doctrine
when it struck the word only from the
tariff for revenue only" declaration. He
then showed that he was willing to make
CONCESSIONS and even to trim down princi-
pies. Had he remembered that Incident
and we do not refer to II In order TO re-
proach him-he might have been more
charitable in his judgment Of the house

NO Chance to Please Him.

No democratic action is satisfactory to
Mr.. Bryan unless he dictates It. No demo-
cratic policy is satisfactory to Mr.. Bryan
unless he formulates 1t. No democrat can
measure up to Mr.. Bryan's standards of
democracy unless he is subservient to Mr..
Bryan. Three times defeated for the presi-
dency, the possibility OF democratic victory
under new leadership in 1919 brings him
excruciating mental anguish which finds
relief only in preparations to knife the
ticket in advance Of it's nomination.
