GIANTS AND BRAVES.

N the general absorption in the
sweep of the Germans through Bel
GUM another forward movement of
Invasion should not be lost sight of.
1t is that Of the Boston Braves en-
croaching upon what McGraw apd
the Giants have come to regard as
theirs by right Of adverse possession,
as the law would say--the National
League leadership.
Stealthily, step by step, Stallings'
determined band crept up on the
Giants, who dawdled along secure in
the sense Of their leadership. From
row to the end of the season it is
Practically an even thing, except for
the psychological advantage which
the Boston team has gained by its
unparalleled climb from last place.
Such a race as this now becomes
should 60 Ear toward reawakening
interest in the national game and
toward offsetting any detection in
allegiance that the war, the Federal
League raids, and other events Of the
summer have caused in the ranks of
the fans.

ILLEGAL SIGNS DOWN.

Working under sanction of the law
|hnd the banner of the National High
" avs Protective Society, the militant
sc cretary of that organization has
been conducting an active campaign
| in the past week against landscape
|dishguremcnts in the form of adver-
tising signs affixed to trees along the
highways of Connecticut. With the
aid Of three workmen Edward S.
Cornell removed $50 signs from trees
and fences along the road from Hart
ford tc Middietown alone.
1t was the experience of Mr.. Cor
nell and his crew that nearly all the
signs were fastened to trees with big
nails, requiring all the man-and-rope
1,cwer at their command to dislodge
them. Of course. this was bad for
the trees as the signs were eyesores
in the countryside. But as a busi-
ness proposition advertising Of this
kind is Ineffective, and the man that
paid the bills fc-. what was practi-
'cally illegal advertising would have
cone as well with his money to throw
i, away.

OUR IMPORT TRADE.

Every day is bringing new reve-
lations concerning the limitations of
his country's manufacturing busi-
less, and also other revelations
which indicate that in some direc-
tions we have been doing more than
most people suspected.
For example, it seems that we eat
in this country a great amount of
imported" Camenbert, Roq Jefort,
Gergonzola, and various other fancy
cheeses, of which the importation"
will be quite impossible for a long
time to come. But are we to have
our rations cut off! Quite to the
contrary, we are merely to get the
same old cheese with a Wisconsin,
Michigan, or "York State" date line

sources for long time; now is the

ducers to be candid and establish
their market in their OWE name.

LAST PASSENGER PIGEON.

In the Cincinnati Geological Gar
dens there is dying today, if the bird
is not already dead by the time this
appears in print, the last known pas
senger pigeon in the world. With
the end of this bird, after twenty
two years of captivity, naturalists
having been unable to find mate
for it, the species has disappeared
from the earth.
Thus man has added another in
CUR time to the already long list CT
birds perished from the earth. These
include the great aux, Labrador duck
Eskimo cu-lew, Cuban tricolor
macaw, Gosse's macaw, Guadalupe
macaw, Carolina parakect, yellow.
winged green parrot and purple
Guadaloupe parakeet.
And yet forty-ive years ago, from
Hartford, Mich, three carloads Of
dead passenger pigeons were shipped
TO market each day for forty days, a
total of II ,sS0,00O birds.
1t was man who exterminated the
passenger pigeons; but the best in
stincts in man are now coming forth
to help save other disappearing
birds. The Federal Government has
taken over migratory wild fowl and
shore birds, and one by one the State
laws are conforming to the Federal
laws, although there are gunners ir
some States doing what they can tc
hinder such progressive legislation.
This Federal law makes seasons
uniform in several zones, and no one
section is permitted to pepper the
birds on both the northern and the
southern flights. Thus man is awak.
ening, and perhaps some of the wild
fowl and shore birds now threatened
With extinction may be saved by this
generation for the people coming
cfter.
The determination of species like
the passenger pigeon is crime
against mans posterity. Pcrhap:
the passing of the passenger pieeor
will further arouse US to our danger,
GUS work of exterminating God't
creatures.

THE PAPAL ELECTION.

When the ccnclave meets TO elect
4 rew Pope it will be confronted
with difficulty in making cardinals
rom warning countries agree, but it
will escape one disappointment which
discouraged the conclave of 1908 af-
Ter Leo XIII's death. Cardinal Ram
poila, who was then chosen, seemed
10 the Triple Alliance undesirable.
francis Joseph, therefore, directed
he archbishop cf Cracow to pro-
nounce the imperial veto.
To this command the archbishop
II Cracow made no objection. He
was accustomed to the policy which
francis Joseph had been developing
for more than thirty years, a policy
Of making church dignitaries serve
he state as sort Of superior police.
The rest of the conclave, on the other
hand, resented properly and violently
ocular interference with their pre-
ogatjve. Throughout the world those
Who believed that the election Of the
Pope was of purely spiritual con-
Germ were scandalized.
Plus X recognized the infringe
ncnt upon the church's rights by or
daining that any cardinal who
.hould thereafter pronounce the i'm
perial veto should be placed under
the major ban.
Cardinal RampolIa did not himself
survive to reap the advantage of this
lew decree. But it must bring sat

concerning the development of the
steel and iron industry in this coun-
try. But the war brings suggestion
that after all our development has
been largely in the coarser processes.
Automobile makers are explaining
that vast quantities of the wonder
fully tempered bits of steel used in
ball bearings have always come to
them from Europe, and they are
wondering how to maintain the sup
Ply. Likewise, much of the finest
steel, prepared for speciality uses,
comes from Europe. Our own max
ers perhaps can turn i. out; but to
this time they have found it more
practicable to bring it from the other
side.
Our British friends have lately got
their eye on the foreign trade cppor-
tunities, and have fixed upon the big
German trade with the United States
as an especially fine plum which they
will pick. They guess they can sell
us the $4,000, 900 of things annual
ly that we have been buying with
the "Made in Germany" label on
them.
While they're invading our mar
kets, there are some British markets
that Americans might well investi-
gate. For instance, the British pol
icy Of admitting all sugar practically
duty free has been responsible for
building up a perfectly enormous
business in jams. preserves, jellies,
confecsions, pastry specialties, and
the like. These are sent all over the
world.
Now the sugar supply on which
England has depended is shut off,
end there is no reason why the
United States should not go after
that breakfast table business in
earnest. We have more fruits than
England, a better variety of them,
and we pack them rather more at
:ractively. The Californians DO these
things rather better than anybody
else in the world. They have the
sugar at their door, both their own
States bee. sugar, and also the
Hawaiian and Oriental article. They
should be in position to keep the
British producers very busy protect
ing their own holdings.

PAID POLITICAL
SPEECHES.

One need not remember SO far
back as 1896, to recall the time when
"spe!lbinding" was one of the most
remunerative professions. Even as
late as 1900, with Hanna running the
Republican campaign, vast sums
were paid by the political commit
tees for oratory. 1t was very def
nitely understood that in 1896 one
distinguished orator received $1,000
and expenses for a series of "sound
money" speeches, and was provided
in addition with all expenses, includ-
ing G. car in which to travel. He had
been a lifelong Democrat, and his
speeches for Mckinley were account
ed we'll worth the price.
In those days there were not a
few men scattered about the country
who made a speciality of campaign
cratory. They expected to be en-
gagged for time every season; per-
hsps the national committee would
"handle" them; in midseason elec-
tons, the Congressional committee
Of The State organizations. 1t was
a nice comfortable business; the
clever young man with resonant
voice and a bit of faculty for string
ing phrases and stories together,
could get 500 a night for month
or six weeks every autumn, and af-
ter that, what occasion to worry? 1t
was a very, very soft way to earn a
comfortable ircome.
But, 20. tempora, o, mores!" How
sadly different now! What would
Hanna and his army of spellbinders
have thought, could they have fore
seen that in this year 1914 Congress
would enact that nobody may pay or
receive payment for any political
speech! That is what is happening.
The House has amended the cor
rupt practices act with this provi-
sion, and the Senate will without
serious doubt, accept it. 1t is good
and proper piece of legislation. We
don't want paid advocates on the
political stump, and we don't want
political parties and causes to fall
into the control of counsel. That is
what they tended to do under the
llama system. Let the public feel
certain that the campaign orators
are inspired by patriotism, not by
retainers.

SIGNS OF ALONG WAR.

Lie NcIHouS cNPSSIcu. WHcII INCy
hurled their armies against Belgium,
to be in Paris by this time. Instead
they are fighting at Waterloo.
They anticipated that they would
have time to crush France before
Russia could complete her mobiliza-
ton, and then turn about, Napoleon
fashion, and wreck the Russian
army.
They have failed to accomplish
this end. They stand today facing an
aroused Europe, and with no import
ant victory to their credit. They are
still pushing toward France, while
Russia is pressing with daily in
creasing vigor toward Berlin.
Nobody is now talking about a six
weeks war. All the evidence that
comes from the other side of the
water indicates clearly that a long
war is expected. Belgium has ar
ranged to get loan of s5O,J0O, 900
from London, the British govern
ment itself having undertaken, if the
case is correctly stated in the dis
patches, to advance this amount.
Thus do we see again the processes
that held up the hands of Frederick
the Great and of the alliances
against Napoleon. Britain has al
ways managed to finance rather
more than her share in whatever
European wal she entered upon.
How great country manages to
pay the costs of war, is subject
now under more intimate analysis
than ever before. In general way,
VIC understand that the proceeding is
tc put an end to the wastes of peace,
and substitute for them the wastes
of war. The great producing
section Of the population is set at
producing or at fighting; everybody
must do one or the other. The whole
economic organization is readjusted
to the new condition. Those people
who are left at the business of pro-
ducing aim to produce more, to con-
sumo less. A Dig, rich country, put
absolutely to it, can carry on a good
deal Of a war and pay most of the
bills as it goes. 1t will not even find
itself, at the end of the struggle,
nearly so great an economic loser as
would be expected. And the reason
is simply that under the pressure of
war time necessities 4 people will lay
aside the wastes and cxtravagances
of peace in favor of those of war.
Sc there is not much ground for
the assumption that the contenders
will be starved into exhaustion pret-
| ty soon. Exhaustion doesn't end
wars. The country with the biggest
anG most independent economic re-
sources stands the best chance; but
| at the last it is not an economic
struggle.
The very hugeness of this strug-
gle, the multiplied aspects it pre-
sents, make the more probable that
it will be long. The battles that are
now taking place between the Aus
trians and the Servians would be tre-
mcndous affairs-if anybody had
time to notice them. The diplomatic
situation as between Greece and Tur-
key would be the world news of the
time-if it were not dwarfed by the
greater doings. The increasing prob
ability that both Italy and Swit.er-
land will be drawn into the conflict
would be of intense conccrn-if 1t
were possible to add anything i'm
