What a Dog Wouldn't Do.

A university of Chicago professor an
nounces that the brain of dog is in
many respects like that of a man. No
doubt he may be right. One thing is
certain, and this is that if every man
had a brain of as good quality as has
been carried around in the skull of some
dogs we have known there would be
much more intelligence and less needless
trouble in the world.-Biddeford Journal.
And no man would be guilty of in
flicting such calculative falsehoods as
the following clipped from a Maine
evening paper of Wednesday:
Farmers have discovered that tariff
sheltered monopoies are able to take the
lion s share so long as such men as Taft,
Wilson and Haines defeat effective rate
regulation. Haines' veto of two-cent
mileage and his slaughter of public utili-
ties law have opened the eyes of the
farmers to the dangers Of such co-opera-
ton with the old party tag as has ar
rested the well being of toilers on the
land and workers in the shop

Editorial Comment
Kaiser Beaten, Germans Win.
New York Evening Post)

(NeW York Evening PoSt.)
Against this Germany, the war into
which il has been so recklessly plung-
ed is nothing short of a crime. Wheth-
er victory or national disaster come
out of it all, the intellectual and spir-
itual growth of the nation is checked
for no one knows how long. The fine
flower of it's youth is to be inundated
by a ruler whose signature to a single
order signed their death warrant
without even asking the consent of the
peoples parliament or taking time
for angry passions to cool. In war,
every evil passion is let loose, as ev-
cry pain and torture known to man is
inflicted on men and women and chill
dren alike; out of this war can come
only another heritage of hatred and
bitterness, of sorrow and suffering. The
mighty commercial edifice erected by
German enterprise and toll is already
crashing to the ground. Ruin already
claims tens of thousands. Germanys
merchant fleet is being swept off the
ocean. Her internal development is
at an end; her schools and universities
are idle; the whole nation is being bru-
talized and, through the hot haste of
the kaiser, Russia and France and
Belgium as well. From now on its
whole thought must be to shoot and
kill people with whom 10 days ago the
country was at complete peace. 1t is to
be for years to come the most hated
nation in Europe.
Is it any wonder that true friends of
Germany cry out against all this from
the depths of their affection for it?
That they protest against the sophisms
of a Munsterberg and of all those who
would suddenly see in this horrible
slaughtering of the true Germany a
new crusade against the heather? For
ourselves we can only say that to us
the one consolation in it all is that, If
humanity is not to retrograde I'M
speakably, absolution must pay for
this denial OF Christianity. In place
of the kingdoms there must arise the
republics of Europe; out of the ashes
must come new Germany in which
pure democracy shall rule, in which
no one man and no group of profess
sional man-killers shall have the pow

When ii comes to question Of show

tant suragffists of England have as
much inbred patriotism as any one

ment that King George has ordered

leading in the relief of the women and
children victims of the war And that
they will put even more ardor in this
work than they have shown in their

out saying. In serving their country in
this way the suffragists will accomp-
lsh more toward furthering their
cause than they could achieve by all
the militant tactics conceivable.
It is not beyond the bounds of pos

Children on the see-saw, having lots OF
fun,
Sometimes in the shadow. sometimes in
the sun,
Fill the air with laughter; catching Is
their glee;-
And ah, their childish voices bring a
message sweet to me!
Life's a game of see-saw. We've on,
ups and downs.
Now the world is smiling-now we see
its frowns,
Fate is at the balance; striving little
men
Who think they're going up for keeps
Will soon come down again.
LIES a game of see-saw; and the daily
grind
Is but repetition of thing Times left
behind.
If you would be happy; if joy you would
receive,
Just take a tip from children's play, and
laughter make believe!
LIES game of see-saw. Riches, love
and fame
Are the prizes offered. Comrade. play

In life well-rounded Tiers wheat as
We'll as chaff;-
The greatest wisdom in the world Is
hidden in a laugh!
