THE spoILs OF WAR,

The spells of war belong to the yictors." This. in brief. is the dictum oi Prime Minister AsquIth. of Grea. Bntaiu. It is epigrammatic, but not new. The spells Of war have always belonged to the yictors. albeit in some cases the spells have been dlched from them. Japan profted but little. so far as spells are con cerned in her war with Russia, but she gained what was much more valuable in the last analysis-mili- tary prestige as a nation and status as a world power
 In the present Balkan war the Bal kan States have also achieved the prestige which victory brings, but it is apparent. even at this distance that thoselttle European states are more concerned with territorial az. grandizement than the passing glor. ies of military renown or achieve. meut. They want expansion of ter. ritory. There is no sentiment in war. At best. no matter what the cause or incentive may be. 1t is simply cold-blooded butchery.
 The deep-seated. ineradicable ieal- ousies Of the so-called European pow. CTS are mainly responsible for the continuance of the Balkan conflict. Great Britain has an advantage in that she is not directly interested on the continent. and. therefore. Mir. AS, Quith is in a position to declare with considerable eQuanimity that the vic tors should not be deprived of the spells. Austria. however, has a diff. erent point Of view. being. as she is. yitally interested in the preserva. ton of the present statu quo in Flu. rope. Any land division among the yictors would inevitably encroach up. on the states over which she claims sovereignty; and, indeed, it nigh: be the means of her losing altogether that which she flehed when. so to speak. no one was looking Hence Austria's concern, and hence Russia's activity-and activity beyond a doubt actuated by the interest Of racial ties and an inclination to help the Bal. kan allies. perhaps with the hope that in the eventual disruption of the Turkish Empire. she may obtain that Of which she has dreamed for centuries-the absolute control Of the Black sea. and. perchance. Con- stautiuople itself.

According to unofficial compilations of the vote cast for president of the United States this year, here seems to be a striking indifference on the part of the electorate-an indifrer- ence which has been commented up- on by some of the more prominent newspapers as indicating a danger to the republic and the permanence of our institutions,
 The total vote this year. accord ing to these figures is placed at 1S,- 92l,OOO, of which Taft received B. 5S6,OOO; Roosevelt, 4,19S,OOO and Will son. 5,l91,OOO. This vote when com. pared with that boiled in 1908 shows the following result: Taft. 7.67S,OOO; Bryan, 6.4O9,OOO, total, in round numbers, of l4,SSO,OOO, or nearly Q million more than were rolled this year. It will be noticed, however that no account Is taken of the So, cialist vote this year or four years ago, the estimated vote this year be- ing 100000.
 The census bureau places the num- Der of native or naturalized Ameri- can male citizens above the age of twenty.one years at 26.99O,157, and added to this there were something over one million American women who had the right to vote in the re- cent election. These figures, then, show that less than one.half of the persons entitled to vote failed to take advantage of the franchise.
 It is this fact that impels the New York Times and other influential American newspapers to take a pes. simistic view of the situation and to bewail the lack Of interest thus manifested in national politics by more than one-half Of the total nun. Der of American voters. Another newspaper remarks:
 Tt would seem that the greatest problem now before this country is not, as is falsely assumed. the prob, lem of bringing the government more closely home to the people. by making 1t more democratic in form, but the problem of how to induce the people to exercise the power of government with which they are now intrusted.

THE IRON MEN.

When the north wind roars at your cottage doors and batters the window panes. and the colds 80 fierce that 1t seems to pierce right into your bones and veins, then it's sweet to sit by the fire and knit, and think. while the needles clank, Of the iron men, of the shining yen, you have in the village bank When you have lost your job and misfortunes rob your face of its wonted grin, when the money goes for your grub and clothes, though there's nothing coming in; when the fates are rough and they kick and cuff and give you a frequent spank, how sweet to think of the bunch of chink you have in the village bank! When you're gray and old and you are cold, and the night is drawing on; when you are tired and weak and your joints all creak. and the strength of youth is gone; when you watch and wait at the sunset gate for the boatman grim and lank, oh. it's nice to know there's a roll of dough all safe in the village bank! The worst, my friend, that the fates can send, is softened for you and yours if you have the price. have coin on ice the best of all earthly cures; oh, a healthy wad is your staff and rod when the luck seems tough and rank; your consolers then are the iron men you have in the village bank WALT MASON.

sla, an aunt of the Czar. He was seated on one chair with his leg thrown over another On his head was a Tyrolese hat. His hands were clasped over his walking stick and his Havana cigar was flfmly fixed between his thin lips.
 "He looked the true type of an Uncle Sam Democrat and snob. arro- gant and servlle, the latest product of a modern civilization which holds it's own by the almighty power of money against the dying aristocracy of a society whose sun is setting"
 Nor are the wealthy and prominent visitors of other Dationallties spared, for, referring to the Duchess of Rut- land of Englard, the Giornale goes on to say:
 "The other evening a crowd gather ed around an English duchess wear ing mantle of cloth of gold and with a bird of paradise for her sole headgear Her daughter was swathed entirely in chiffon. Both women looked as if they had come out of very modern edition of Aubrey Beardsley The throng of curious boatmen and the like first stared then mocked. Some one hissed and some one else yelled The guards had to intervene"

A FOUR YEAR STRUGGLE

The leader of the Progressive par ty has not issued pronunciamento for several weeks-rurther than to de. clare that the fight of the party had just begun. what though, by implIca- ton of course. 1t had recently fought at Waterloo instead of Armageddon But. let us be candid, the Progress slyes were triumphant in defeat; they put up a great fight and lost without much complaining. Theodore Roosevelt is q great political leader He has a strong hold on a portion of the American people. The vote polled by the party of which he Is the founder proves that Roosevelt developed tremendous strength of his own.
 Now comes the news that the Pro gressiye party will at once organize for the campaign of 1916. and 1t will meet in Chicago on Dec 10, next to lay it's lines and perfect it's organiza- tion.
 There is a lesson in this, for the other political parties. The Demo crats will be in control of all the branches of government after March 4, 1913. and they have an herculean task before them, if they shall make good their ante-election promises. If the administration is to be success it must have the harmonious support of the party. There will be no time to quarrel about the division of off ces. The fulflment of platform pledges is of infinitely more import ance than the allotment of pie.
 And the Republican party Is not dead. The man who thinks so is de- luding himself. It has not been killed; it is only badly twisted. and without any doubt, 1t, too, will be reorganized in the immediate future, and in 1916 will again be ready to do battle. although now, in point of num- bers it ranks third in the roll of po- litical parties. It must be borne in mind that a great many votes were diverted from Mir. Taft to Mir, Wilson. How many will never be known. Whether these voters have been per. manently enstranged is doubtful. No doubt many will return to their form. CT allegiance.
 The next four years, therefore. promise to witness what will be prob, ably the greatest political struggle ever seen in this country.

SOCIAL INSURANCE"

What is known as social insur- ance" in Germany and England may in the course of events be adopted in America. Indeed it has been recog- nized by at least one political party as already a vital question. Social in- surance has been a gradual evolution in Germany. as everywhere else, gov ernmental activities are foreshadowed by the activities of men acting in groups. In that country the direct forerunners of the insurance laws were workingmen's unions paying sickness and disability benefits. The Prussian diet many years ago passed laws which strengthened these socie- ties and increased their efficiency. Cities were given theright to pass or dinances requiring people to join these societies.
 In 1882 Bismarck forced the passage of a scheme of obligatory sickness in- surance. In arguing for the measure he said: Tt is the tradition of the dynasty which I serve that it takes the part of the weaker ones in the economic struggle"
 In many of it's provisions the Ger man law is not the equal of the Eng. fish law which became operative last summer. There is a provision of the English law that if a town neglects it's sanitation and in consequence has a high sickness rate the extra cost is assessed against the taxable prop erty of the town. Another provision is that if there is a great deal of sick ness among the workers in a factory. and 1t is found that the factory is not kept in a sanitary condition, the extra expense of insurance must be borne by the owner of the factory.
 Sanitary conditions in any commun- ity, small or great, are matters of prime importance, and are receiving the earnest attention of the law. makers of many countries. Discus sions of questions of this type in bringing about the end sought also incidentally are of great service in popularizing information as to the ef- feet of different occupations on health and efficiency.

And HaSit Come to This?
 It Has, Indeed it Has

A Venice, Italy, dispatch says: A sensational attack on wealthy Ameri- cans in Venice is made by the Gior- nale dItalia of Rome, one of the most important newspapers in Italy. The visitors from the United States are held up in ridicule without stint, and they are lampOoned in cruel man. ner.
 We will describe from life one of these distinguished Americans" says the author of the attack in the paper. He is one who has given up work for the pleasure of fashionable likeness. He is no longer young. His red face speaks of many whiskey sodas, but his white mustaches are curled with French art, His appearance Is smart, with the conspicuousness of a person who changes his clothes four times day,
 He is a great favorite with women, and he is considered an authority on female beauty. This son of triumph. ant democracy may be seen associat- ing with the proudest royalties of Europe.
