SEE AMERICA, ANYHOW

The San Francisco fair manage
ment calculates that even though
some of the foreign nations may
have snubbed it, it will struggle
through a feverish existence very
comfortably, inasmuch as it will be
the only show Americans can reach
next year. Even if the war should be
ended, which doesn't seem to be the
expectation Of the best guessers,
Europe will be in poor condition for
receiving.
1t is not impossible that one of
the very real losses the CONT
nent will sustain by reason of the
war, will consist in the diversion Of
& great stream of American tourist
business to other countries. Next
year Americans will not be able to
60 to Europe for pleasure. But they
will have especial temptations to en-
JOY themselves at home. The Pana-
ma canal will deserve, and will get,
a great convocation of the tourists.
Thousands will discover that the
voyage around the North American
continent can be made in a brief
time, in good ships, and in all COM
fort. The grand tour will be to
California by vessel, via Panama,
and back home by railroad or motor
car, or both. There is a great popu-
lation in this country that would dis
cover that the United States was
cutie worth looking over, if it were
suddenly cut off from the privilege
of going elsewhere to amuse itself.
That is what will happen next year,
and whatever may be the effect on
Europe, it is going to be a good
thing for this country and for the
tourists who perforce will be kept at
home for one season.

INHUMANITIES OF WAR.

There Is sure to be some fire
where there is so much smoke. The
persistent reports about the bitter
ness displayed on both sides Of the
European struggle, the reprisals in
dulged, the free and easy procedure
of arresting people by scores and
standing them in front of walls to
be shot, the savagery that has mark
ed treatment of aliens in some of the
countries-all these things indicate
how thin is the veneer Of civilization
when primal passions are loosed.
1t cannot but bring 4 shock, when
one realizes how deep seated and ar
dent must have been the long-sup-
pressed hatreds now bursting into
fame. Between Germans and French
especially has the tcnsity been ex-
IRENE. The wonder is, as this con-
tinent-wide spirit Of violence flares
forth, not that war has at last come,
but that it was so long prevented.
True enough. this war is largely a
war of dynastic ambitions and rival
lies; but underneath that lies The
fact, now all too plain, that the
rulers understood the feelings of
their peoples.

A POETIC MORATORIUM.

The early efforts of the war poets
co not bring much encouragement.
Eoyes, Watson, Bridges, and the
rest of them have mad their filings,
without inficting much damage save
upon the sensibilities of the reader.
Laureate Bridges is rather worse
than was Alfred Austin, if that may
be conceded possible. No lady has
any business trying to pull off war
poetry full of fire and blood and
birthstone.
Kipling, we opina, will save the
day when he comes along with his
fucubrations. He is evidently wait
Ing to note the performances Of the
rest of them. He will put in few
real naughty cuss words and will
adapt to the requirements Ct this
occasion those vicious things he used
II ray about Russia. That was when
Kipling, in the early years of his
guardianship over the British en-
pre-, was sure that the bear was
the one enemy TO re feared. Some
what sadly for Kip!ing as a pro
J het, it turns ont that when the
zeal stress befalls. the bear is al
led with the lion.
But the versatility Of a Kipling
will find no difficulty meeting the
emergency. We tromble to think
Y hat he will do when he pours out
~ the Kaiser those walls of wrath
hat he so painstaking!y distilled
for application to the Car. They
are Just as good viais. just as good
wrath; and if the meter isn't unused
rp by reason of changing aim and
range, Kipling ought to be able to
70 just as good execution against
Wilhelm as he used to do against
Nicholas.
For US, however, the idea of a
r~oratorium for the poets seems pc
Iliariy fitting. After some of their
forts, the suggestion Of a crema-
lorium is not far ariss.

ton might be extended to kitchener
of Kerry and Khartourl," for he is
full-blooded Irishman born in Coun-
ty Kerry. At his right hand. advis-
ing and counseling, will stand Lord
Roberts of kandahar, whose mother
was Tipperary woman.
Ireland will 10 more than furnish
the commanders and ! large proper
ton Of the soldiers for the present
war. 1t will do more than any other
single country to feed the fighters,
ana England, too. 1t is well-nigh
impossible to realize how marvel
ously Ireland has changed in a gen.
GRAFTON past. 1t is the seat today OF
splendid prosperity, which touches
every phase of Irish life. The Irish
peasant has been coming into his
own, under the land laws which
make it possible for him to borrow
from the government to buy his
lands. He is no longer emigrating.
He is staying at home, making Ire
land at once a great industrial and
rich agricultural country. Over
$500 Irish farmers today till their
own land and as many more are ready
to avail themselves Of the law under
which they may buy their land.
When this land law was propose
to be passed it was urged that it
would be ruinous project in pater-
nalism: the people would be pauper-
lied by being made wards of the
state. Like most Of the arguments
against government helping its peo-
pie, this was excellent save for the
little exception that it was alto
gether wrong. The Irish began to
prosper, to save, to work harder, to
be more desirable citizens in every
way, from the day they saw the
chance to get their lands. Today
rural Ireland is one Of the most con-
tented and happy countries. Last
year it sold s15o.000,O0O worth of
food products to the outside world,
and S120,000, 900 of this went to
England. The total is increasing
year by year just about in proper
ton as the people increase their
holdings of land. Ireland sends more
foodstuffs to Britain now than any
other country save only Argentina,
which has passed the United States.
Ireland will go on prospecting and
will be drawn more firmly than ever
into the bonds that hold her to the
United Kingdom. The question of
home rule will probably he solved
later without difficulty, because of a
general willingness to make ccnces-
sions all around, in view of the new
sentiment of nationalism that will
have been inspired by the foreign
struggle. It would appear, in short,
that Britain had less to lose than to
gain by participation in the war;
which is more than can be said for
any other Of the wretched countries
involved in the miserable business.

THE FAMILY CHAN
CELLOR.

From the intellectual activities of
the Housewives League and the
household economy" courses at
hummer schools and Chautauquas, It
Is plain that there is an unconscious
rlovement on foot to restore the
family budget to its best admins
traitor, the mother.
In the days when life was simpler,
Mothers used to manage the family
income through the principle of nat
rral selection. To them all moneys
FOR household expenditures were
i-iven and to them was intrusted the
task of allotting the fund for each
necessity of life and for all the
pleasures.
But with growth of the "allow-
unce" custom to children, letting
Them use the charge accounts" and
indulge in similar practices, the
POWER of the mother as chancellor
Of the exchequer was gradually
weakened until she became little
more than an auditor of the monthly
bills.
Through intuition and the stern
law Of necessity, rather than scien-
t;fc ability in finance. mothers once
had natural genius for managing
household affairs relating to money.
Perhaps they still have. If the swing
Of the pendulum carries the control

ARTIFICIAL PRICES.

Reports that powerful interests in
this country are interfering with the
market conditions, especially as af-
fecting meats and foodstuffs, will re-
quire some very direct attention be-
fore long unless it is made perfectly
plain that these stories are canards.
If the foreign der:and for grain,
meats, vegetables, etc, were actual
ly being met by increased exports
from this country, there would be
reason for increasing retail prices
here. But the amount of wheat, for
instance, that has left these shores
in two weeks has been far less than
would have gone under normal con-
ditions. The country has a greater
surplus on its hands than it would
have had; it is not much nearer, ap-
parently, to assurance of getting
that surplus marketed abroad.
Sentiment, of course, has much to
do with making prices. The expec-
tation that ships will finally be
found, and that they will carry away
our surplus of foods to the countries
that need them, justifies a certain
firmness of prices d. these articles.
But this is not the condition that is
alleged to exist. There are stories
of huge projects 20 corner food
stuffs; of meats hcing held in stor-
age, so as to make full cargoes to
be sent abroad at the fancy prices
expected later on; of grains being
gathered in vast stores in anticipa.

The question is whether the aver

soaked" right now, today, by forces
that are taking advantage of un-
settled conditions, and of dominating
financial power. If there is any
thing of that sort going on. it is
likely to get somebody into serious
