More Machinery Rusts Out Than
Wears Out

wears Out
Where is the old fashioned farmer,
who never hung up the scythe with
out first daubing the blade with tai
low to keep it from rusting? Appar-
emily his kind is not as common as
it once was, for it is claimed upon
good authority that even upon Wis
consin farms more machinery rusts
out every year than wears out.
This is the startling charge made
by man who is familiar with meth
DDS of handling and caring for ma
chinery followed upon many farms OF
the state Ear too many expensive
machines on many of our FARMS" he
declares, have their bearings lOoS-
ened and their framework warped
and twisted out of shape too early
in the period of usefulness because of
needless exposure"
Farm machinery is no different
than any other kind of machinery
with good care it will last two or
three times as long as when it is
neglected. On every farm there
should be a good tight machine shed
one with plenty of sliding doors, so
that it will be easy to drive in and
out with machines"
Blueprints showing drawings OF
model buildings of this kind may be
had free of charge by writing to the
agricultural experiment station, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Madison.

Medical Frauds by Mail.

An interesting sidelight on the patent medicine
frauds is to be found in the annual report OF an
able and courageous officer of the federal govern
ment, William H. Lamar, Solicitor for the Post
Office Department Mr.. Lamar has fought the
fraudulent schemes for treating diseases through
the mails with all the power which his office pos
sesses "Insidious, vicious and highly detrimental
to the public welfare" he found them, and the
methods used were "the most unconscionable" Of
all the many fraudulent devices against which
fraud orders were issued.
Fraudulent advertising is the basis of this
vicious and cruel cheating, Mr.. Lamar forciby
points out The money at stake is huge. Adver-
tisng is by far the greatest expense of these con-
Germs. In one case before the department the EVIL
dence showed that several hundred thousand dol
lars had been paid for advertising during period
of eighteen months, as high as $4,000 having
been paid in a single month. Thus the publishers
of America have been at bottom responsible and
Mr.. Lamar thus records his appreciation of the
new spirit which recognizes this fact and seeks to
cleanse advertising columns:
II is a pleasure to state that there is growing
class OF advertising managers and puDllshers VINO
take the position that clean, honest advertising sohe
should be accepted, that matter OF gooo inoras
the publishers can permit no other kind Of adVerts-
ing and that as matter of business II VIII pay tne
publishers to keep their advertising columns cream
and hermit no deception to be practised upon their
readers.
II is a Measure to add that the stand of such a
public officer as Mr.. Lamar is Of incaculable ben
eft to the whole cause of honest business and
square deal advertising.

Not the Right Way to Go About 1t.

The failure in the House Of Representatives of
the resolution submitting a nationwide prohibi-
tion amendment was a foregone conclusion.
two-thirds vote is required to submit a constl-
tutional amendment, and there is no reason to
suppose that there is any two-thirds majority in
this country in favor of taking such short cut
to a solution Of the drink problem. On the con-
trary, there is, in our opinion a strong majority
in favor of remanding the solution of the problem
to the states where such police problem prop
erly belongs.
1t would be a dangerous invasion of the rights
Of the states to attempt to impose on the entire
nation one cast iron rule of non-sale and non
manufacture of intoxicantS. The forty-eight
states differ widely from one another in their at
titude toward the abuses of the liquor traffic
New York with its enormous population of foreign
birth or extraction, accustomed TO a moderate use
of the milder alcoholic drinks, cannot be put ra-
tionally in the same category with the sparsey
settled agricultural communities of the West and
South. where entirely different conditions exist
and entirely different ideas as to the use of liquor
prevail.
Each state should be law unto itself in regu-
latng community habits and standards Of TEN.
perance If prohibition is going to be the rule
of the future it will win its way through the ex-
ample set in prohibition states. If it is found TO
produce better results than local option or high
license or any other method of regulation, then
the states which do not have it will gladly ac-
cept it. It will triumph every cause of that
sort ought 10 triumph, not through forcible con-
version but through real moral suasion.
Mr. Hobson and those Representatives who
sided with him are on the wrong road. Their zeal
as reformers ought not 10 blind them to the fact
that the regulation of the liquor traffic is not
federal function and that in thrusting prohibition
On the country through federal action they would
destroy the rights Of sef-government reserved TO
the states. The House of Representatives was
right in refusing 10 sanction the rash and need
less experiment Of nationwide prohibition
through constitutional amendment

AND THE ALMIGHTY
A Criticism Of Victor Hugo's View Of
Waterloo.
ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the letter yesterday Of g.
o. Shields are quotations from Victor
Hugo, including the following (re-
ferring to Napoleon's defeat at Water
loo): "The moment had arrived for the
incorruptible and supreme equity to
alter its plan"
This evidently refers to a supposed
change of plan concluded upon by God
himself (who is repeatedly mentioned
in the quotation). How supremely
ridiculous this idea is! God can change
no plan. His plans are all perfect and
made in view of all the future, for He
sees the end from the beginning.
The Infinite cannot change or alter
his plans. To change and to alter plans
and purposes is Characteristic of the
finite only.
Again, he quotes these words ire
ferring to Napoleon): "He embarrassed
God" This is surprising language. II
is perhaps complimentary 70 Napoleon,
but if God can be embarrassed by
finite being, he must be possessed of
some quite finite qualities, hardly con-
sistent with the Infinite.
We cannot comprehend the Infinite,
but we can safely say that the relation
Of Napoleon TO the Infinite is infinitely
less than that of a drop in the ocean
TO the entire contents Of the ocean it.

SHIPS FOR SOUTH AMERICA
A Denial That Facilities Are Ample
at the Present.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The publisher of an export
magazine (Which enjoys a considerable
advertising patronage from South
American shipping compsnies) has
been industriously sending letters to
the newspapers-one of them appeared
in The Tribune a few days ago-en-
deavoring TO show that there are ample
shipping facilities to Latin America
and to discredit President Wilson's re-
marks on the subject Of an American
merchant marine in his recent message
TO Congress.
Your correspondent bases his entire
argument on the statement, which he
makes, that there are twenty-five sail
ings advertised TO South America dur
ing the next thirty days; hence there
is no shortage of shipping 10 South
America. Twenty-Five sailings in thirty
days sounds rather impressive at tirst,
but when you stop 10 consider the
great commerce of the United States
and the vast extent Of South America
and the small tonnage Of the vessels
running between the United States and
South America twenty-five So llings a
month becomes a pitiable showing.
In proof of this the shipping papers
arc reporting and nave been reporting
for some time the shipping market as
follows:
"A steady inquiry prevails for boats
for South American business. Rates
are in strong position for both prompt
and forward delivery, with every indi-
cation of further advances" C"Journal
of Commerce" any day.
The following from recent United
States government report shows freight
conditions with South America as they
prevail even during normal times:
at costs 81 10 box TO send apples
from New York TO South America, the
time required being q TO 20 days. The
freight on a box of apples from Tas-
mania TO England, time in transit AZ
days, or Australia to England, time in
transit 80 days, is SO cents. The reason
those rates are cheaper than ours is
they have plenty of ships"
Testimony now before Congress
shows that millions of dollars of fruits
and vegetables are annually wasted in
the United States because the lack of
ships and the consequent high freight
rates do not permit these products 10
be shipped 20 foreign markets.

No Tenderness for Cleary.

It is easy to sympathize with those honest IN
dignant citizens of Haverstraw who are planning
70 take steps to have Cleary removed from MS
plsce as town clerk. He cannot again be trieu
for the killing Of his son-in-law. But that IS no
reason why sef-confessed drunkard, the owner
of a revolver, which it is forbidden by the suil-
van law to possess, should be permitted to nave
a place Of honor and profit in the public service
Cesry was proved to be anything but the kinu
of man the average American community delights
to honor His foolish Dragging since the trial has
been even more disgusting than was his cowardly
use of his daughters testimony to save himself
from the penalty of his deed. To keep such
man in office, if there exists legal way to get
rid of him, would be blot on the community. 10
let him remain in Haverstraw and Give 1t down,
as he has Dragged he would do, would imply even
less delicate sense Of the decencies than he him
self has shown.

NO ADMINISTRATION POLICY
Or If There Is one, the Country
Should Oppose Ii and Arm Itself.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is great deal of non
sense heard now in regard to going
contrary to the wishes Of the admins
tration in the matter Of army increase.
This, it seems TO me, can be easily dis
missed from our minds, inasmuch as
the administration has no policy what
soever This has been thoroughly illus
trated by the Mexican incident. En-
larging the army and navy and the
purchase Of ammunition, equipment
and supplies are precautionary meas
ures and can have nothing to do with
any so-called administration policy.
If, however, it is the policy of the
administration to neglect these precsu-
tions, it is the plain duty of every in
telligent citizen to urge Congress to 90
contrary to the administration and
make our small force highly efficient.

At dusk trudged the whted hill,
Now still and lone, save that the brook,
As yet unbound by wintry chill
Sang on its song Of School and Book
Ahead loomed out the lighted face
OF Time-the clock entowered high
Whose hands showed six through darkening space
And chimes rang vibrant to the sky.
at came upon a midnight clear,'
They pealed; nor any creed on earth
Bpt must have stopped, as /, to hear
The message of the Teachers birth

And l, pulse-quickened by the cheer,
Trudged on my leaden cloud now gold.

SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS
So Reader Designates the Hsrtlepool
Raid

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The statement by the military
attache TO the German Embassy az
Washington in reference to the bonn
bardment of towns on the English
coast last week must be far from re-
assuring 20 many of your readers who
have had the idea that there were
rules of warfare that would give 10
women and children, If not 10 all
civilians, at least as good chance for
life and safety as is afforded to men
in uniform.
We get detailed figures from Berlin
as 10 thousands of war prisoners whose
lives have been spared because they
threw down their arms. We read that
before the bombardment of kiao-Chau
the japanese gave civilians chance
TO leave the danger zone. and we hear
of 200 of the crew of the Emden saved
when they struck their flag, but for
the helpless children Of Scarborough
and Whitby there was only bloody
murder. Unfortunately for them, they
were under the protection Of the coast
guard, whose heavy armament con-
sists of a rocket gun for throwing a
line in case Of shipwreck, and so, ac-
cording to this German officer, the

ordinary usage Of warfare did not ap-

ordinary usage Of warfare did not ap-
ply.
To further justify this slaughter OF
the innocents Captain Won Pspen cites
the shelling of Nieuport. Ostend and
Zeebrugge by the allied fleets, but the
facts that these towns have been the
scene of almost continuous fighting
since the middle Of October and that,
before that time, they were deserted
by all the civilian population who
cared 70 90, and who are now being
provided for in France and England,
make a very material difference.
IL has been frequently asserted that
Germany will fight to the bitter end,
and such happenings as the shelling of
Scarborough and Whitby will serve
more than anything else TO make the
fulflment of that forecast more sure
and the end more bitter DENBURN.

HARD TIMES IN ALABAMA
With Prophecy of Their Conse-
quences TO the Democratic Party.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II may, 10 some Of the read
ers Of The Tribune, seem strange for
me, a citizen of this state Of the ex-
treme South, 70 join those who are
loudest in condemning the ruinous pol
icies of the present national Demo-
cratic administration, but all the peo-
ple of the South do not worship at the
altar Of the party Of worn-out tradi-
tions. the organized Democratic party.
This is a day Of suffering and trial
for the farming people Of the South.
Bankruptcy has swept this state like
an epidemic Starvation is gazing
wolfshly into the wan. haggard faces
Of tens of thousands of the cotton
growers of this section. You can
travel through the country and among
the farmers and their children, and
you will see a condition that is ap-
palling in the extreme.
The trouble IS that from the dark
days of Secession down 20 the present
the people Of the South, dominated By
a corrupt and designing band Of Dem
ocratic brigands, have been by said
band taught a lie. have believed a lie,
and now, in the good year of l9l4, are
about 10 be damned in it," These
poor, wretched people, who have fol
lowed faithfully Democratic leader
ship. are now becoming disgruntled
and dismayed. The great Woodrow"
has been weighed in the balances and
found wofully wanting. The good
Underwood" has failed 70 deliver the
goods.
Every bitter has its sweet" though.
and the results Of the present direful
conditions will be the overthrow Of the
old worn-out Democratic party and the
upbuilding here Of a stronr Renu5li-
can party. ". Z. IUMLiN.
