UNION or THE AMERICAS.

One Of the compeneations OF the
war Il the closer union In knowledge
and feeling Of the American conti-
nents--we call them continents. the
two Americas. since the Panama ca
nal divorced the land and joined the
oceans. The Mexican troubles had
already started the movement. and
Europe Is pressing It closer.
North and South America Joined
heartily to restore orderly govern
ment In the disturbed zone between
them. Now the pressure Of Europe
at war upon all America at peace Is
consolidating the states for common
defense OF industry and commerce,
neutral navigation OF waters far from
strife, and mutual exchange OF moral
support as well as Of material sup
plies.
The tour Of South America By Sec
rotary Of State Root, with his keen
perception and genius for popular
expression. did much 10 teach the
United States to see South America
as II is. The visit OF Felix Martinez,
ut critical moment. did much to-

the truth home. North America is

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

oHttHHiftfI tmhF=ff tttPabtt1dhsf
History never quite repeats itself,
but II Is fun of suggestive occurrences.
Compare. for instance. the recent
treatment of Servia with Austria's
treatment of the republic of cracow In
1876. In the fall Of that year there
was a rising OF the Poles in Galicia,
and Austria claimed that IL had been
stimulated from cracow. which was
the last morsel left of the kingdom
OF Poland. It's Independence had been
pledged, only a third Of century be-
fore by the treaty Of Vienna, but the
instruction in Gallcia was taken as
an excuse for breaking the treaty.
With the help OF Prussia and Russia
the rising was suppressed with much
cruelty. and the republic of Cracow
was annexed 20 Austria. In western
Europe there was Indignation. and
Joint protest from England was pro-
posed by France, and 1t IL barely pos
sible that II might have had some ef-
feet. But Palmerston had quarreled
With Guizot over the Spanish mar
rlages and England and France
could not act together even in cause
as 20 which both were agreed. SO
Palmerston was content with n pro-
test to Metternich against the violation
OF the treaty. in which he laid down
the doctrine, which in these days has
come to have more than an academic
importance, that the rights OF small
and large states were equally sacred.
The matter was dropped there. but II
had serious consequences. because the
ear, Nicholas. was believed, perhaps,
unjustly TO have investigated the
crime against Cracow. and the Rus
sian boyle began to agitate England,
leading TO the Crimean war. and TO the
long antipathy between England and
Russia. II Will be noted that in the
present instance. England views the
car as taking HIS stand with the am
gels. while the kaiser and the Aus
TRAN ministers are put in the role Of
Metternich and the Prnsslan king in
1916. Meanwhile the Cossacks APP
proach Cracow--do they come as an
gels OF deliverance? People are still
living there who can remember when
Cracow was a republic.

A letter from Mr. Bronson NJ. Cut
ting. president of the New Mexican
Printing company. states that he has
been In New York state for several
weeks. and from that fact we assume
that he was not personally responsible
for. and would not have permitted,
had he been in Santa Re az the time,
the publication of an editorial In his
paper In which Il was stated that the
soliciting of funds in Santa Fe, by
people OF albuquerque. for the Y. Nj.
c. A. was regarded by tho New Next
can as nothing more nor less than q
plausible hold-up."
The journal. commenting on tho
editorial. mentioned the fact that Mr.
Cutting had contributed $50 to the
Y. NJ. c. a. in Albuquerque and sug-
gested that II that was his view OF Il,
the directors doubtless would re-
lease him from his obligation.
The New Mexican placed Mr.. Cut
ting in an embarrassing light, In view
OF the fact that he probably never
thought Of the Y, NJ c. A. solicitors
from Albuquerque as either raiders
or hold-up men. The Journal is glad

For example. when the war
broke out, We were told that in nine
ty days it would be impossible to have

having had one made for many
years. rushed off TO secure what
felt sure would be a curiosity in the
near future. Several others must
have done the same, because the pho
tographers tell me business has been
excellent.
Now the ground for that belief
was the fact that heretofore we had
procured the glass for negatives from
Belgium and the chemicals from Ger
many. Those who said the photogra-
phic Industry would have to stop as
soon as the small supply on hand was
exhausted did not count on American
ingenuity.
THE other day / was talking to a
prominent photographer and ] asked
him about ii. Why said he, within
two weeks after the war broke out We
were making everything in this coun-
try. At first it cost a little more but
now the cost is coming down. AS for
the quality. of course we have as fine
chemists in this country as there are

that. too
This Instance can be paralleled as
many. times as you like. Two or three
cases will suffice. Carbolic acid was
also made in Europe. Not that 1t was
a secret or that We could not do il.
but that the European makers were so
well entrenched. Americans hesitated
TO enter competition against them.
Thomas A. Edison had to have car
bolic acid. Inside of ten days after
the war broke out. he began to pro-
duce II. At first 1t cost more also,
put as facilities We're perfected and
quantities produced, THE price began
TO come down. and now, it is said.
That II the war ended today we would
probably not buy any more carbolic
acid from Europe. We can make IL
better and cheaper here.

THE reason lam not in sympathy

1T reminds we of an incident that
happened on one of the early Gid
den tours. We were gliding along
over the country road feeling happy,
having a perfect score in our pock-
cts as ii were, when We met a horse
land buggy. The old horse was mooch
in g-al0ng. seeming not TO have a
worry in the world. OF course there
was an automobile occupying a part
Of the road in front of him. but that
did not seem TO bother him either
He had met the tarnation things be-
fore and had always managed to
find room to pass them alright so he
WAS not concerned.
Everything would have gone well
and We would have passed him as we
had passed many others on the way
but for the fool notion the driver got
into his head that he ought to ZEN
courage the horse He assumed that
the horse WAS going to get frightened
so he began nervously to draw in the
rcins and TO caution the horse TO

steady.
AT that the horse pricked UP his
ears. began to look neiVously around
and wonder what was the matter.
He had seen the automobile ahead
and did not suppose there was any
necessity for warning him OF it's APP
preach. He expected TO pass ii alright.
But he had come to learn that when
the driver was nervous, there was
likely something to get nervous about.
SO he assumed that there was some
thing different about that particular
automobile of ours
AT that, he went into the air.

with his front ones-ilnally lost his
balance. went over sideways. broke
the shaft and turned the wagon
across the road. As we did not antici
pate anything of the kind from the
quiet demeanor of the horse a mo-
ment previously, we did not have time
TO stop and consequently in order to
pass him we had to run down into
the ditch and up again.
Now 1t seems to me there has
been much premature warning
against nervousness on the part Of
business. Business Is not nervous.
