A WORD FOR GERMANY

There is a passion for progress in
Germany. 1t is the home of original
thinkers, There the application of in
tellectuality to material problems has
amazed the world. German philoso-
pliers long dominated the field of pure
reason even before Prussian armies
welded together the minor states and
created nation in form worthy of
the aspirations OF the inhabitants.
Science has been given a new meaning
by Germans and new field of opera
tion, The German universities have
become beacon lights in human pro-
gress. In no department of science
have they failed to acquire knowledge
and use it for the uplift of the race.
Out OF Germany, too, have come some
OF the most powerful arguments and
capable and eloquent advocates of
democracy and liberal theories of gov.
ernment. IL would be fair to say that
no nation, unless It be the United
States, has contributed so much to the
progress Of the world in the last half
century as Germany.
1t is tragedy that the war drums
now summon the energies OF so great
people and martial law defects their
activities. tits a pity that Germany's
great thinking machines are being
made targets for bullets There is a

SHALL WE BLAME THE PROOF READER?

"Yas," said the good woman, who
was describing the last illness OF a
friend, "she was taken suddenly sick
with pantomime poisoning, and four
doctors came to the house and insulted
about her and diagrammed her case
very closely. They decided that she
had eaten some fish or something that
had paragraphs in it, and so they gave
her a hypocritical injection of a serial

didn't seem to help any, as she was

Big and Little Business.
From thc Milwaukee .Ionrna

rioii lilc VMlIWallkee journal.
Over and over we heal 1T repeated tina,
."Bigness is no crime that "A business

this and much false logic. Little business
Is not an offender because it has not the
power to be. There is no danger that it
VIII restrain competition. make preferen-
tlal deals, control legislation. 1t is the ca
pacity for these things that makes big
business dangerous and has so often made
1t an offender.
For proof of this, take the changed at
titude on the tariff OF some very promi-
nent conservative republicans. John c..
Spooner, for example, once a defender Of
nigh tariff protection, announced a COM
plete change in his views when he saw
that trusts had built themselves up at
public expense behind the tariff wall.
President Wilson believes in competition
and not in trusts. Others believe in regu-
lated trusts. Which opinion is right and
which will finally prevail is fair subject of
argument. But the simple fact remains
That when YOU give a man or a business
the power to raise prices you are doing ex-
actly the same thing as when you put q
gun In his pocket. There. is. always the
chance hat when temptation comes, he
will use 1t. This is the trouble with big
business, and in the nature of things can
not be q danger in little business.

Two Fundamental Errors.
From the Omaha world-Hera1d

There are two fundamental errors that
must be eliminated from the minds of
men before amy peace of world wide char
acter can be ssure One is that il a ma
ton is o~ver-populated the only relief is in
anneXing more territory and the other is
that If the m of a nation Is ex-
panded hat it must be to the detriment
OF another nation or nations. In regard to
the first the answer is, that the whole
world is open to people of any nation to
go where they will. The English and the
er parts of the world. made happy ZONES
and accumulated wealth and they are still
ffee to so, The oNer.population has been
cared for and largely without any an
conquest had preceded these migrations,
that those Germans and English would be
as well situated as they are now. There
is nothing to sustain a contention that an
re:sation Of new territory is a necessity.
In regard to the second contention there
Is stu less reason for it's existence. To
reduce the wealth of another nation de-
stroys a market. 1t has been a cardinal
doctrine of all authorities in political
economy that all commerce is mutually
beneficial, and that it could not exist I'M
less 1T were so. John Stuart Mill says:
commerce first taught nations to see
with good VIII the wealth and prosperity
of one another. Before, the patriot, un-
less sufficiently advanced in culture to
countries weak, poor and ~ill-governed but
his own; he now sees in their wealth and
progress a direct source of wealth and
progress to his W country. 1t is COM
nlefce which is rapidly rendering war OBJ
solete, by strengthening and multiplying
interests which are in natural opposition
TO IT.; And it may be said without eXag-
geratlon that the great extent and rapid
increase of international trade, is being
the principal guarantee of the peace of the
world, is the great permanent security
LOT the uninterrupted progress Of the
ideas, the institutions and the character Of
the human race"
