nHoiy War" improbable.

J There has been no universal war by
Moslems on unbelievers r since the
sarly days Of Mohammedanism. 1t has
been supposed that only the Caliph.
IN Office now claimed by the sultans
Of Turkey, can order general war, or
Jehad, but as the Persians and the
Moors who are Mollammedans@ do not
acknowledge the spiritual authority OF
The Ottoman sultan and look to their
own rulers for their cue in such case,
It is not at all likely that there will
be a Jehad now or. ever. Holy wars
have been proclaimed by the Mahdis,
as was the case in Sudan in 1882, when
Chinese" Gordon was murdered at
Khartoum; but there has been no gen
eral war between the followers of the
prophet and the intidel dogs since the
early times when Mohammed was es.
tablishing his power.

The Case of Bemidji."

The Case of Bemidji."
The Bemidji Pioneer comes
strongly to the support of the Nelson
bill now pending in the legislature
for the reduction of the number Of
saloons throughout the state. The
bill STIMULATES that as licenses expire,
they shall not be renewed until the
number of licensed saloons in each
place has been reduced to one for
each tive hundred of population. In
the case of Bemidji that would mean
eleven or twelve saloons in place Of
the thirty-four that are now wildly,
competing for business there. So.
strenuous has this competition been
that one citizen of Bemidji, at the
hearing in St. Paul, declared that the
principal business of the Bemidji sa-
looms is to. separate the lumberjack
from his roll and that the sooner this
was accomplished the better for all
concerned. ....E.
"The Pioneer declares strongly for
the Nelson bill on. the ground that
thus the state will free the city from
condition which has long been
fought from the inside and which is
still with U.S. The Pioneer adds:
When business which would make a
fair income for eleven saloons, with
out the necessity of law violations, is
. divided between thirtyfour it is i'm
possible for all the owners to make a
living and stay within the strict in
depreciation of the law. Furthermore,
the thirty-four are such a drain on
the resources Of the city that retail
credits today are IN . worse shape

Here's a Book

Impressions and Opinions. by
George Moore. published by Brentano :,
of New York.

SOCIALISM AND THE UNIVERSITIES

few years ago socialists and socialism were
regarded with fear by most people, who couldn't
manage to understand that there was any difference
between socialism and anarchy. The Black Hand
had been imported at that time, but the sentl-
ments with which it is regarded are not unlike those
entertained a few years ago toward socialism.
But the socialists are no longer regarded SO
gravely We have been listening to them, and dis
covering that they have no plan of blowing us all
up with gas-pipe bombs la Haymarket, or burning
our houses our heads in the gentle fashion OF
the insnuating British militants.
Socialism and socialists, in fact, are getting
studied in our intellectual aboratores-sery much as
germs, atoms molecules, and the spectra OF twin
stars are studied Note, for instance, that the Hon
cradle Victor Berger late Socialist Congressman and
known to all Washington one of the good fellows
of the House. is out lecturing tour; and observe
where he is talking socialism. newspaper report
says:
Mr. Berger will lecture socialism at Columbia
University at o'clock this afternoon. He will speak al
Wesleyan University in Middetown, Conn.,. on Tuesday
Yale on Wednesday, at Harvard on Friday He said
he forced to refuse request to speak at Princeton
this trip because he had to hurry back to Milwaukee
Socialism isn't going to do much harm, when the
community takes this view of it. at would take q
much more violent person than Mr.. Berger to gel
vicious and dynamite things when the folks who used

come and tell the leading universities about his cult

CUT THE CONVERSATION!

On behalf of tine House management there is
promise that the tariff bill will be polished up, the
opposition will be polished off, and the measure will
be sent to the Senate in three weeks or less.
After that-well, the Senate's different. Yet il
would that after saying several hundred millions
of words-or was it billions Pin the last four years
about tariff, the Senate by working nights might
hustle the thing along so that the bill might become
law before this delayed spring arrives-say next
September.
With keen appreciation of the Senate's preroga-
tive of unlimited converse and of how sacred bull
wark that prerogative affords to cherished insti-
tutons we really think that the sooner the agony is
over, the better So do the ninety-6ve millions.

MR.. BRYAN'S HARD JOB.

Two months ago numerous commentators on
doings in Washington were bemoaning the certainty
for so they appraised t-that Mr.. Bryan would
smash up the new Administration, force himself to
the front, overshadow and dominate the President,
and insist on giving all the good offices to his polit-
ical friends in order to build up machine of mis-
own.
Now the same commentators are equally astound-
ed and grieved, because Mr. Bryan is playing second
fiddle to Wilson, keeps in the background, and is
sccumulating enemies because he refuses TO help his
old friends to jobs.
Mr.. Bryan might as well not try to please this
class of critics He couldn't possibly succeed, any
how He is suiting other folks irstrate, and they
are in very large majority

THE CASE OF TY COBB.

If the case of Ty Cobb could be regarded in
precisely the way that it would be if he we're, say,
department manager in great business establish
ment some things would be clearer. He would be
accounted great business-g -getter but a bad dsci-
pIinarian. He would be popular with his fellow.
employees and exceedingly popular indeed with the
patrons of the house. In fact If would have to be
admitted that his leaving would carry lot of business
to the rival across the street with which he might
associate himself.
In these circumstances, believing himself worth
the money, Cobb would ask for salary. His
employers, rather than have him migrate across to
the rival concern, would be very likely to give him
the money if they could figure that ne worth it.
They would be compelled to consider not only what
they would lose in losing him, but what the com.
peting house would gain.
In the baseball business the situation is different
Under the National Commissions regulations, Cobb
must take the salary offered him by Detroit retire
from the game. There is free field for him. Nc
other team will take him if Detroit refuses to NEE,
his terms.
II is not too much to say, that if the railroads
the steel companies the department stores of the
country should impose such conditions on employees
there would be terrific hubbub kicked up about it
Baseball may be different; but there will be need
TO show very sharp difference, if the managers OF
TIE game are to sustain ultimately the attitude they
nave taken toward Cobb

HATS OFF TO THE MILITANTS.

The perplexity of the English authorities as to
how to handle suragette prisoners who refused food
has been amusing. 1t is surely placing the admin
isuaton of justice between the devil and the deep
sea when one is forced either to contemplate the
martyrdom of well-known woman to cause which
she and great share of the public hold sacred
her just prison practically quashed simply
because she won't eat.
Thus far, the woman has pretty effectually won
out Whether her theoretical sentence has been
for three months three years, practically it has been
for the few days beyond which she could not be held
without offending respect for human suffering The
Times has not been alone, imagine, in wondering
how soon such easy means of escape would appeal
to the average inmate of our penitentiaries. The
English precedent would seem to indicate that the
same plan must inevitably be subjected to trial by
some unfortunate over here
No actual criminal, we understand, has yet re-
sorted it. But last week sixty Industrial Workers

AUTOBIOGRAPHIc DETAILS.

The fact has seemingly escaped attention, till the
autobiographic sketches appeared in the new Con-
gressional Directory, that the new Senator from
Oregon Mr.. Lane, was four years superintendent of
the State insane asylum. Oregon has not sent word
whether this training was accounted an important
part of Mr. Lanes qualification for the Senate, but it
isn't difficult to understand how favoraby the pert

detail in the official biographies.

mously passed that prison fare is preferable to starv
alton.
So much for the threatened danger to thes course
of justice. But the Industrial Workers of the World
have cause Now we are busy figuring out whether
the failure of these sixty exponents of it to mar
tyrize themselves was due chiefly to their lack OF de-
voton the just to the fact that they all
were men. And, whichever way we look at it, the
mtants seem to score.
