GENERAL WAR UNTHINKABLE.

A general European war is unthink-
able, says the New York Times. With
1 5 1000, 900 in the field the bill Of costs
would be certainly not less than $780,
100000 q day, and the waste and de-
struction would enormously add to it.
Europe cannot afford such a war, the
world cannot afford It, and happily
the conviction is growing that such an
appalling conflict is altogether beyond
the range of possibility. Austria is
unreasonable. Servia's reply to her
ultimatum was a humiliating assent
to hard conditions. such an assent as
none but a weak power would have
given. Everything was granted. save
only hat a little time for considera-
ton was asked upon n demand
which never ought to have been made.
Austia's Interpretation of the reply is
such as no nation careful of it's rep
utation would ever have made, since
all the world can see that she wan
tonly perverts the meaning Of the
seryian note. Thirty years ago Mr..
Gladstone in an imprisoned electoral
0ooi CSS dSHcu, hIltIe Can any H1dH
put his finger on the map and say
there Austria did good?" That way
an extreme %utterance as Mr.. Glad
stone afterward admitted. but we
should suppose Austria would be
most anxious to rid herself of that
reputation if in any degree it still at
taches to her. Her unreasonableness
is SO evident that the universal inter
probation Of her course is that she
has used servia as a pretext for the
accomplishment Of g. purpose not
avowed. Nc war could be more un-
Just. none more unholy than n pro-
voked by such methods. But while
the war which has made the whole
world tremble with dread may not be
unjust and unholy. there is solid
ground for the expectation that it will
be prevented because the sober-mind-
ed statesmen Of Europe. and above
all the kaiser, are not men of blood
but Of peace.

PUT THEM IN JAIL.

Yesterday evening, while Tniver-
sity avenue west Of the Great North
ern was crowded with autos, two ma
chimes drove west along that street
at a speed which witnesses saw could
not have been less than fortv miles
an hour. h machines were driven
recklessly. as if by drunken men and
swerved SO as to occupy all the SPACE
between the car track and the curb,
They turned north on the road to the
fair grounds with scarcely any slack
enlng of speed at the corner, and the
last that The Herald's informant saw
of them they were disappearing in the
distance with the motorcycle police
man in pursuit. The officer had talk
IN two or three shots at the tires of
he speeding machines. but the tire of
an auto travelling at that speed is not
IN easy thing to hit when the marks
man is also making time, and the
shots did not take effect. At this
writing we have not learned whether
or not the men were overhauled and
arrested.
We submit that a case like this is
no case for a fine. It is a ease for a
Jail sentence, and a stiff one, without
the option of a fine. And if there
Isn't a law under which men of this
sort can be prohibited from driving
autos, there should be. The mar who
will drive a machine at any such
speed on a crowded street. or along
any street where people live, whether
Il is crowded or not, is either a GRIM
fnal or an imbecile, and in either case
he is not fit to be trusted with the OPP
eration Of a machine in a public place.
1t is all well enough to announce
that the laws against speeding are
going to be strictly enforced. They
should be. But to enforce the law
by imposing a five dollar fine on a
would-be sport who doubtless has
more money in his pocket than brains
In his head, and who will pay his fine
with the air of having done something
smart, does not help much. A good
stiff jail sentence would do more than
anything else to take the cockiness
out Of a few Of these smart, alexis,
n would have an exceedingly whole
some influence all round.

FOOLISH AND NEEDLESS.

When two people in a neighbor-

But when they begin TO throw brick

call In the police. Sometimes the dis
turbance becomes quite serious be-
fore it is auelled, but always, in a
civilized community, 1t is quelled, and
the differences are either allowed to
remain unsettled, or are settled in the
courts provided for hat purpose.
If the nations were as civilized In
their international practices as they
have become in their domestic con-
Germs, there would be no such thing
as war, There might be little out

Thirteen States Guaranteed
Against Dreaded Disease.
Federal Officials Estimate the Cost OF
SURPRISING the Epidemic Will
Approximate $4,000 900.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-With ten states
now under federal quarantine and
three more placed under state quar-.
antine and sporadic cases of foot-and-
mouth disease appearing in the vast
area from Massachusetts to the Mis-,
sissippi river and from Glendiye,
Mont, to Como, Miss, federal officials
here estimate that the cost of sup
pressing the epidemic will approx
mate 100000. The epidemic of
1908, which was much smaller, cost
100000.
The local stock yards are closed, but
there is plenty of life evident in the
efforts made by armies of men to car
ry ont the fumigating orders of the
state inspectors. While no cattle will
be handled, the shipments Of dressed
meat will continue as usual. A ma
iority of the 10000 employees at the
yards will be kept at work.
The partial destruction of the stock
yards at Kansas City, Mo-, has added
a new difficulty to the situation. Kan
sas City was expected to furnish the
largest amount of space for yarding
the Chicago receipts, but the fire has
interfered. The shipments, it is be-
lieyed, will be diverted to South Oma-
ha and perhaps to st. Paul and Mime
apolis.
A total of S73 cattle have been de-
stroyed here thus far. Their value is
about fifty dollars per head.

Latest reports indicate that the

in the senate. This is a gain of two.
The makeup of the senate will be as
follows:
Democrats. 81; Republicans. Il;

The results in the house will shift
the Democratic leadership in that
body. Majority Leader Underwood.

elected to the senate from Alabama.
Several Southern members who were
reelected will contest for the leader

an overwhelming vote. and will IN
doubtedIy be the speaker Of the next
house. Representative Mann Of nli-
nois, who also was reelected, will re-
tain the minority leadership.
