THE CABINETS UNKNOWN
QUANTITY.

Thomas Watt Gregory became a
special assistant Acknowledgement OF
the United States on the strength OF
his work in ANTITRUST prosecutions
as special counsel for the State OF
Texas. He is named to succeed Mr..
McReynolds as Attorney General on
the strength of his work in the De-
partment of Justice, where he is best
known for his handling of the New
Haven Case.
1t is perhaps testimony to his
strong qualifications for the higher
office that in his prosecution OF the
New Haven case he sought none OF
that publicity which might have made
him better known to the country at
large, and was content with the con-
seriousness of having performed Ia
borious work with care and thor
oughness. But it is none the less
true that he comes to the Attorney
Generalship with wider reputation
to make than has been the lot OF
recent occupants of the office.
Mr.. Gregory is presently the un-
known quantity of the Wilson Cab
met. But it is a broad opportunity
which has been given him to become
one of the best and most favorably
known of this group of minister's
New York World.

4 WISE DECISION.

Fad China, Germany and Japan
scOsented, the United States could
have performed service to humanity
and could have done justice to China
by taking over Kiao-Chow, but
Japan, remembering old grievances
and bound in her alliance with Eng
land, would have no way but her
e1wn way. In that situation the Pres
ddent was wise with wisdom that
was more than prudence when he
announced that this country would
keep out of the affair. The absolute
neutrality of this nation puts it in
a situation to be of service to every
nation in war and to the many ma
tons still at peace. This is the one
great manufacturing and agricultural
nation which may still send ships
abroad without danger from any
enemy. 1t is the one great nation
which is so aloof from all the causes
and passions of the war that 1T may
be trusted upon all hands as friend
and mediator if the day of mediation
comes, and when the day of settle
ment in the Kiao-Chow affair arrives
It can stand for justice to China and
the open door for all without suspic-
ion Of prejudice. and without en-
countering prejudice in others. To
these advantages arising from neu-
trality and inuring to the worlds
henefit Americans must add the in
calculable advantages accruing to;
en- trade.

JAPAN's POLICY.

The International News agency of
Tokyo has sent out the following
statement of Japanese policy-plalnly
dictated by the Mikado:
Japan will restore Kiauchau, will
preserve the territorial integrity of
China, and the terms of the ultima
tum to Germany will be adhered to
whether Tsing-Tau is taken by force
or otherwise.
Japan realizes that in these sud
denly-faced responsibilities She must
act with the utmost circumspection
especially with worldwide prevailing
misunderstanding of her real mo-
lives, ambitions and policies. Japan
must once and for all eradicate the
suspicion of her motives prevailing in
America and fostered by years OF
anti-Japanese propaganda.
The partition of China or the vio-
lation of Chinese integrity in any
way is the last thing Japan plans.
She most desires the friendship and
confidence of Pekin and the entire
eradication of FL roots of suspicion.
For sound common sense and
statesmanlike understanding of a
nations neeQS Ill great CIISlo, IL
would be difficult to surpass that
declaration.
The message of Count Okuma, pub
lished this morning, breathes the
same spirit:
AS premier of Japan, have stated
and l now again state to the people
of America and of the world that
Japan has no Interior motive, no de-
sire to secure more territory, no
thought of depriving China or other
peoples of anything which they now
possess.
If Japan holds to this line of con-
duct-and there is no present reason
to doubt that she will-jingo yawp-
ing about the yellow peril should be
hushed in a permanent silence.

FORCING FACTORIES UPON US.

Gloating at what we may gain in
business development as the result of
the chaos brought upon the Euro
pean world would seem ghoulish at
this time but stern facts can be faced
and discussed without exulting over
the misfortunes of others. Things
made in Germany and those made in
England are temporarily withdrawn
from the American markets. Toys
are said to have disappeared from
circulation. Raw cotton grown in the
United States to be shipped to Man.
chester, England, and shipped back
again in bales of cloth lies waiting
for ships at the wharves and none
dare to sail.
The result is going to be trans
planting of much European manu-
featuring to this country. Professor
Macy of Grinnell, tells of the Swiss
nation having been created out of the
artisans who fed to the mountains
to enjoy peaceful pursuits during the
wars Of a previous century and it
will not be strange if many an in
dustry with it's trained artisans will
be transplanted to this soil as the
result of the terrible war now in
progress. &
Much is being said now of the
South American market being coi11-
PEELED to turn to the United States
to buy things which were once bought
in Germany but those goods must
first be produced here.
The chances are that this war in
Europe will drive to our shores man
and industries which a
century of tariffs would not have
brought. The worlds demand for
the goods must be met by somebody
and the people of the United States
are about all who are left to make
the products of peace.-Marshall
town Times-Republican.

Sow Wheat.

The worlds wheat supply this year
is at least 100000 bushels short.
The grain-growing areas of the Old
World are now overrun by armed
men mobilizing, marching, counter
marching and fighting. The season
of seed-time is at hand, but the Eu-
ropean peasant is carrying a rifle,
while his plow rusts in deserted
fields.
Armies must be fed. The great
nonproducing population of the most
congested continent on the globe
must have bread. This bread must
come from the New World. The
fields of the United States, of Canada
and the Argentine must supply it If
it is supplied. The wheat fields of
Austria, of Germany and Russia will
be desolate next year.
For the American farmer there was
never such an opportunity. Every
available acre of wheat lands should
be sown this fall. There is every in
dication that wheat prices will be
higher in the next two years than at
any time since tho Civil War. We
have not, as yet, felt the force of
the real demand that must come
from Europe. The capture of grain
carrying vessels by the allies and the
stored-up stocks of food have put of
the evil days of hunger for the time.
The sudden rise of wheat was merely
anticipatory of later conditions, but
it will be noted that this rise is
holding.
Dollar and 1925 wheat are mere
indications of what the prices must
be if the war is prolonged for as
much as sixty days. To gain an idea
of what warfare does to wheat prices
we must go back to the sixties: In
1858, three years before the firing
on Fort Sumter, the range was be-
tween SIS cents and $1.25. In 1861
the range was between 6S cents and
$1.45. In 1854 the effects were be-
ginning to be felt and the prices
shifted from SIPS to $40. No
wheat sold for less than 50 in 1866
and the highest was $3.50, while in
1867 it rose to 1855.
1t must be remembered that this
was a national and not an interna-
tional situation. Just now we are
dealing with a world condition un-
pICCcucHLCu III oil
the war end before the New Year,
prices must still infallibly rise be-
cause of the tremendous wreckage
and wastage in the agricultural in
dustry of the Old World. Fields will
lie fallow, the workers will have been
buried on the battlefelds, but the
people must still be fed.
Agricultural experts have taught
crop-diversificauQn for a generation.
This autumn would seem to be the
time to ignore these precepts in so
far as they might prevent the seeding
of great wheat acreage The world
will want bread this year, the next
year and the next. Wheat at 81 a
bushelNis a tremendous money crop.
What will it do for the prosperity of
the American farmer and the ma
ton at 50 or even higher?- st. Louis
Republic.

THE SHIFTING SUGAR INDUSTRY

The present war may revolutionize
the sugar trade of the globe. 1t may
even furnish stimulus to West In
dian colonization that will redeem
one Of the most beautiful of those
islands from the barbarism in which
it now swelters. #
Beets and, cane are the great rivals
in sugar production. The beet-sugar
industry of Europe is disorganized
and desolated by war, while the cane
fields of the West Indies-thanks to
the Monroe doctrine-are at peace.
1t seems certain that such an upheav-
al will give permanent advantage
to the cane-especially when the
area devoted to that crop could be
doubled in few years by systematic
effort.
The island of, Haiti could produce
as much sugar as Cuba does now
nay, there was a time when Haiti
led the West Indies in sugar output.
If some of the practical science and
surplus population of Europe could
be directed toward her shores, the
great island might easily take the
lead again.
Political or military colonization
the United States will not permit;
but everyone in this country would
look with pleasure on the Industrial
of Haiti and Santo Do
mfngo by Europeans of any nation
atty. Andalusians, Sicilians and
Calabrians can live very comfortably
in the island; the more northerly
parts of Europe can furnish science
and capital and be we'll paid for
doing it; and little industrial
progress would be of vast help
to Uncle Sam in keeping the peace.
It is dream, of course; but one
of the sort of dreams that sometimes
come true.-Chicago Journal.

THT PEOPLES FAITH IN THE
PRESIDENT.

William J. Bryans faculty of Sc
lecting, from amid multitude of con-
ditions, the salient truth dominates
them all, has Lever been more bril-
liantly illustrated, than in his reply
in The Commoner to Colonel Roose-
velt's criticism Ct the Administration.
The Secretary of States observation,
that nothing Colonel Roosevelt can
say can weaken President Wilson's
strength with the masses, gets at the
very heart of the situation. The
peoples confidence in the President
is the all-comprehensive fact which
contains in itself the national affirm
alton of the administration policies,
the means of making the most effica-
ci0us use of them, and the broadcast
possible guaranty of their perpetual
ton by the country and of their
permanence as typical of the highest
American craftsmanship.
From the outset, and all along the
people have been with the President,
and they were never more with him
than now Through this administra
ton of achievement, in all the spe-
cifc features in which that achieve
ment has consisted-the tariff re-
vision, the income tax, the currency
law, the difficult problems, with
which our foreign policy has had to
grapple-the faith of the people in
the President has been answering.
Cavil, .cenCure, innuendo, when they
are differentiated from their environ
nent, and are assigned to their orr
gin and the place they have occupied,
are invariably found to have had an
extremely circumscribed field. They
are creations of groups, cults, or
classes, but of the masses-never.
OF what, and in what. strength
with the masses consists, there has
never been a more competent judge
than William Jennings Bryan. He
has always kept closelysin touch with
the sentiment of the people, he knows
them, understands the premises on
which they base their judgments, and
has a marvellous faculty of accurate
understanding of what their conclu-
sions are. When William Jennings
Bryan says that President Wilson's
strength with the masses is impreg-
1abte, he speaks with authority. And
this great popular instinct, which has
rallied to President Wilson at every !
stage Of his administration, is a
sound intuition. 1t is the wisdom of
the many the wisdom to which Amer
lean institutions owe their existence,
and which is, and justly, the court of
last resort in deciding on the policies
by which those institutions are to be

President Oxnard, of the beet sugar

President Oxnard, of the beet sugar
company of America, testifying be-
fore a United States commission in
San Francisco last week, stated that
so far as he had observed there really
was no occasion for the price of
sugar being hoisted as it has been,
since all the beet sugar of California
for the present year, amounting in
the aggregate to 100000 bags, was
still in storage in San Francisco. So
far as consumption of sugar is con-
cerned, there are no more consumers
in Europe at this time than there
were one year ago. Perhaps not SO
many, as it is not customary for the
military departments to supply the
soldiers with sugar.
