A Good Risk.

We in this country are unable to under
stand the sentiment with which the Eng
lish, for instance regard their royal fam
lily. 1t is just as we'll. no doubt. that We
cannot. Some years ago a leading Eng
lish Journal. referring to the Prince Of
Wales at school as a mixer. of course, not
using that "orncry' word for so distin-
guished a parsonage, said the other boys
treated him as one of them. except that,
as was to be expected, they remained
Standing at the dinner table until he
came in and was seated. Imagine Ameri-
can boys treating a Presidents son like
that. and still more imagine calling that
a sign OF equality and democracy. 1t ap-
pears now that the prince has gone to
the war and is to he on Frenchs stan.
We are not authorized to speak for any
life company in this city but, II the char
ter OF the Courant permitted. We should
be very glad to take out a war risk on
his youthful life-Hartford Courant-

POWER OF AN EXECUTIVE.

George Bernard Shaw remarks: II know
that even in the United States, where
treaties and declarations Of war must be
made by Parliament, 1t is nevertheless
possible for the President to bring about
a situation in which Congress, like our
House of Commons in the present in
stance, has no alternative but to declare
war"
When Polk was President Congress had
no other alternative. Polk, coveting Cali
fOrnia and New Mexico and finding it i'm
possible to purchase them. determined on
war. The Mexicans. goaded by the action
OF Gen. Taylor. who was under the direct
orders OF the President. attacked an
American force and killed sixteen Of our
dragons. Congress then acquiesCed in
the war policy Of Polk. Cleveland came
near involving the country in conflict with
Great Britain. Washington saved US from
a war. and history may say the same
tribute can be paid TO Wilson.
We cannot AFFORD 10 delude ourselves,
through our common use OF the mild term
''jingoism," into thinking that America
can have no mil!taristic peril OF its own.
Balance of power may be a menace
peculiarly European, but the green-eyed
monster Of national jealousy stalks around
the world and commercial egotism is its
companion in mischief making.-Philadel-

Carranza's Impudence.

But for his incurable obstinacy, Gen. Carranza
might have been at the head of the true govern
ment in Mexico at this time, recognized by the
United States and the great powers of Europe
Instead, he is managing little fugitive government
at Vera Cruz, the way to which city was opened TO
so gained he now calls upon US to remove our war
ships from that coast
We wonder what this bombastic person expects
to do few days weeks hence when Villa, Zapata
or some new revolutionary chieftain appears In his
neighborhood with a conquering army. The distance
from the qusys of Vera Cruz to deep water is not
very great. An American battleship in the ofing
would afford the finest kind of protection to foolish
old hidago who was inclined for reasons of state
personal safety to seek refuge from his fellow
countrymen who have not been properly appreciatye
of him 80.
No doubt the navy will remain. If the army had
held its post, Carranza would have been prisoner
by this time-New York World

A spectacular wholesale killing. planned by Gov.
Hunt, of Arizona is not to be permitted, happily
for that State and the country at large The COVER
had repricved eleven murderers pending the
States vote on capital punishment The people
having refused to abolish it, he began preparations
for revolving spectacle, in protest he explained.
His plan to hurl the eleven into eternity stimuli
taneously, from single scaffold But the Supreme
Court of the State has granted five of them new
trials and the State board of control has ordered
that the other six be put death separately 1t is
a pity the power to remove such governor can
not Immediately be invoked. His plea that he felt
called upon protest against the will of the people
impudent enough, but his attempted resort to
savagery of the Dark Ages marks him unfit for
any public Office. South Carolina came to her
senses. There is hope for Arizona.

The announcement is made that unless the
Washington Chamber of Commerce. which has
started campaign for suffrage in the District, in
cludes votes for in its fight, its efforts will
be opposed by the suffrage organizations all
over the country. On the other hand, should the
District suffrage proposal be made to include the
women, it would surely be given the ardent and
Cunited support of the equal sufragsts because to
win in the Capital would mean tremendous ad-
vance for the cause. Past experience shows that
a great many members of Congress ready to
try any experiment in the District of Columbia,
and there would be no formidable resistance to
such campaign thousand so fair suffragists
could be depended on to put up in Washington. If
the Chamber of Commerce wants to make victory
certain, all it will have to do will be put votes for
women in their measure and call on the allies

The Chicago dispatches intimate that the sur
viving Progressives were influenced in their deter
mination to fight on, and on, and because
America needs them largely by belief that Presi-
dent Taft will be the Republican candidate for Pres
ident in 1916. A year ago the prediction that Mr.
Taft would run again would have been derided.
Such suggestion is received now with respectful
consideration since the election last month found
the people rejecting with emphasis all the princ-
pies and influences which were invoked to bring
about Mr.. Taft's defeat. Republicans have pro-
claimed at the polls a renewal of their faith in
the men who stood with Mr.. Taft and in the prin-
ciples they represent The tendency, two years
from the next Presidential election is back to the
old and tried brand of Republicanism. Mr.. Taft
has lost of his popularity since his retirement
from the White House, and time is bringing bet
ter appreciation of his craftsmanship He may
not be the nominee in 1916 but it must be recog-
nized that today he represents the things very
large proportion of the voters of the country have
pronounced their approval of.

Industry to Have Its Reward.

Men of big business very generally agree that
the worst of the war storm is over so far as this
country is concerned, and that from now on our
people will derive benefits rather than otherwise
from that cause OF course, they do not mean that
every loafer is going to locate pot of gold at the
end of a rainbow, or become president of ma
tional bank, but that industry will have its reward
and that values will be maintained on a profitable
bass.-Nashvillc Tcnnesseean.

Dangerous MaEefaetors Set Free.

The case of the released convict is hard enough
at best and where his crime was not of serious
order But what is to become of the sixteen life
term murderers pardoned by Gov Cole BIease. of
South Carolina What is society to do with them
and what will they do for themselves? 1t is i'm
possible to parallel the abuse of the pardoning
power by this reckless State executive of which
the release of these dangerous malefactors is only
sample.-New York World.

Causes Of AntaeOnism.
~ JOHN u. BAaRH.

TlTHERE on both sides,
wv there is seeming antaso-
nism between two races it is al
most certain to be the betrayal
of fear. usually fostered by sus-
picion. The cruelty of a race,
like the cruelty of an individual,
easily justihes itself as self
protection, as the need of get
ting the blow in first, based on
the assumption of existing an
tagonism. If there were no such
assumption, there would be no
antagonism.

Southern Farmers Duty.

The first duty of the Southern farmer in year
unprecedented since the civil war is to sell enough
cotton to pay his debts The second dutv and il is
hardly less emergent is to plan to escape next year
the bondage of all-cotton by raising foodstufs at
nome, reducing cotton sharply and using as little
credit possible to produce even his minimum of
cotton: These are the fiat terms of the South's
ncipation-Atanta Constitution

War madness spreading like the plague, never
rises from the masses to the classes Invariably it
runs from the classes to the masses Seemingly the
most democratic OF all expressions great hordes of
men hurling themselves at other great hordes, it is
really in its nature essentially aristocratic
The Washington herald., 1914-12-03

large part of the hatred in the world is due to
the belief in the existence of hatred, often wholly
imaginary. Let some get the idea into his head
that some one else hates him, some one who per-
haps never gives him thought, and start is made
toward mischief that may break out into lifelong
enmity and bitterness, involving perhaps not only
the two concerned but many others.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-03

If with the eyes of Divinity we could look at
the causes behind the present war; only the i'm
mediate causes but those radiating back into the
past, we should unquestionably find that they were
largely, if not wholly imaginary. And behind them
all we should see wiful and persistent denial of
the essential unity among men, the unity that
Christ emphasized, that He made the explanation
of all right living

The more corrupt politics grow the more aristo-
cratic becomes government. If the people were
actually in control if they could really prove the
democratic spirit, war would be impossible. Ii
would be seen in its true nature as suicidal In
every seeming victory there would be the con-
sciousness of defeat
The Washington herald., 1914-12-03

This unity democracies emphasizing and try
ing to reach. But they slow in acquiring COM
plete realization. Even in this country the demo-
cratic feeling is continually hampered by the ma
chinery Of government. Each year it tries to in
vent new methods of keeping its power out of the
control of the few who, whatever their social con-
dition may be, stand for privilege, which is the
very essence of aristocracy.
