AGAIN, PREPAREDNESS

Not all the admiration is due to
the Germans for their perfect readi-
ness for every cxigency of war. The
British have given what is, for
Americans at least, a far better
demonstration of the possibilities of
preparedness without turning a ma
ton into a military machine, a gov
ernment into military autocracy.
Britain, like the United States,
maintains no great army. Like the
United States, she relies on an am
pie naval force, and trusts to her
geographic position to save her from
the necessity of constantly keeping
vast soldiery under arms. If ne
eessity arises, the patriotism of
people who run their own gov ern-
ment is depended upon to provide
the army that may he needed.
Perfection and overwhelming pow
er of the British navy has made
good, in this war as in others since
the Armada, the maxim Of British
policy, that "the first line of de-
tense lies off the enemy's ports" The
British fleet has beer as magnificent
as has the German army. The re-
sponse of the people to the call for
troops has been a gloriouG vindica-
ton of the theory that a free people
may be depended on to defend itself
when occasion requires. Something
like 100000 troops, it is now calcu-
lated, have been thrown into the
Continent without a mitch. A half
million will shortly be ready. and
another hall million will follow them
if needed.
But this is nor ali that :he Brit
ish preparedness has demonstrated.
Britain was bound by no hard-and
fast, offensive ard defensive alliance.
to erter the war with France and
Russia. Sne could have KEEP. out
without a violation Of faith. She
was merely prenared to preserve the
spirit as we'll as the letter Of her
commitments, and :ike went in with
out hesitation.
Once in, the preparedness which
had been arranged by her genera

NOBEL PRIZE VS.. WAR.

A subtle bit of irony connected
with the greatest war in history was
that it broke. about the head of one
vno was receiving diligent attention
a. q candidate for the greatest of
peace honors-the Nobel prize.
How deep a jest would it have
been if Kaiser Wilhelm actually had
been awarded the distinction before
the war cloud arose! How would It
sit upon him now that he hurls his
srmies against united Europe, send
ing hundreds of thousands to their
deaths!
Regardless Of whether his quarrel
is just, no one will cavil at the action
of the Nobel prize committee in re-
moving the German Emperor's name
from the list of candidates for peace
honors.
Posterity must fix the blame for
the stupendous blunder which is lay
ing Europe waste before it. But all
will admit that the peace trophy
would i'll become one so near to the
center of peace's antithesis as is
William Hohenzollern.

lions of siillful diplomacy becan:c c
apparent. A powerful ally in the
east stood and stands ready to make
whatever disposition is necessary to
conserve British interests, eas. or
west. Japan is in China. She will
be in India If need shall arise. She
might even send an army 10 Europe
if called upon to do it; and she could
co it without shock to western SEN
timents. if fist Germany should
drag the Mohammedans into the
war, as sn, seems determined TO do.
Yet farther. we see the evidence
of British anticipation of every pos-
sible emergency, in the marvel of
moving a Russian army out of the
far inland empire by way of Arch
angel, the Dwsna, the Arctic oceaL,
and the voyage around North Cape
to Scotland. AS in a moment, the
curtain goes up to reveal the spec
tacle of a new route opened up, by
which the myriads of Russian
strength may be made available in
the mcstt distant theater of opera
tions.
Surely 1t will be conceded, in view
of these and many other proofs, that
a nation may be well ready to take
care of itself, without being turned
over to tbs arrogance and the men
ace of a military caste; without sac
rifcing the noble purpose Of main
tanning pea:e so long as peace con-
sists with honor and safety. 1t is
a lesson deserving of study by all
Americans.

LAST O. A. R. PARADE.

Who among US will not feel a pang
of regret at the announcement that
next year probably will STE the last
G. A. R. parade? Annually the
tribute we have paid to these repre-
sentatives of the dead past has been
L touching refutation of the charge
that this country is so lost in pursuit
Of the dollar that it has no time for
other considerations.
The survivors of the great war
formed an element inextricably inter
woven with all that was best in the
last two generations of Americans.
They were the leading citizens, the
pillars of society in every hamlet
from Maine to California. Respect
for their uniforms and tattered bat
tie flags was taught to our youth by
precept and example.
Time was when they were doni-
nant in politics ard social life. Now
they have been decimated by the
whitening fire of time, and soon the
last of them will have gone. Their
survivors, one by one, are losing
their grip on the present, and turn
ing more and more to the past which
was the climax of their lives.
Time and again there has been an
effort mad. to do away with the an
nual parade of the veterans, on the
ground of The hardship it worked on
the marchers. Reason lay with the
objectors, but the sentiment Of the
public, loath to give tacit admission
of the passing of the honored ones,
no less than the indomitable spirit of

WHY NO EXPORT TAX,

The suggestion is constantly made
and persistently reiterated, that
Congress should impose an export
tax on foodstuffs in order to prevent
the rapid rise of prices. Why not?
In the first place, there is no bet
ter reason for doing 1t now than in
time of peace.
In the second place, it would COM
pei this country to surrender that
which it cannot possibly spare-its
stock of gold-in order to preserve
that which it can spare-its surplus
Of foodstuffs.
In the third place, the Constitu-
lion, Article I, section ix, paragraph
5, says:
"No tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from any State"
Even if the first two reasons be
questioned, the third can hardly be
evaded.

tunity to look after politics: and
that they are promised. The autumn
campaign will be short. but long
enough to quite satisfy the require
ments of the country.
Without saying more thar is
proper. without assuming for himself
and his country any special relations
to the international problems con-
nected with ending the war and max
ing satisfactory peace, the Presi-
dent says enough to indicate that
the country need not be surprised if
a great new access OF prestige and
Importance is to be achieved in con-
nection with these events. Who
else with such influence and COM
manding voice can assume leader
ship in these works Of peace? A
day, any day, certainly some day,
may bring The opportunity for medi-
alton and Inauguration of peace pro-
posals The United States will BE-
profoundly concerned if not actively
leading the way toward the light.
1t is necessary that not only the
President but every public man be
ready to do a full part.

THE PRESIDENTS JOB.

President Wilson is too busy for
politics this autumn. So will be the
country as a whole. The President
plays the best of politics when he an
nounces, in his letter to Chairman
Doremus, that he will have no time
to do anything save remain at his
job of leadership of the nation in
these trying times.
Congress is to be allowed to quit
and go home when the pending pro-
gram of legislation is completed; a
promise that will cheer the legisla-
tive heart. The President indicates,
however, that when it comes back
there will be more work for it-a
new program to be worked out. That
will surprise nobody. The immediate
wish of the Legislators is a surcease
from craftsmanship and an oppor-

LET THE WOMEN DOT!

The announcement that Miss Alice
George, cousin and secretary Of
Henry George, who is narooncd in
Europe, will conduct his campaign
for him suggests the possibilities Of
entertainment that might lie pro-
,ided by other proxy campaigns.
There is many a iull male stump
speaker who would 10 better to stay
at home or pretend that he was
stranded in Paris and let some lively
woman take his place in the hust-
ings. The public has had so many
weary wears of frock coat camnaigns
that it would welcome frock CAM
paigns.
Most Of our male orators are not
heautiful. Some are not interesting.
Many arc positively dull. Men
stumpcrs are conservative. They
tell the same old story in the same
old place; they point with pride;
hey challenge the opposition "to
successfully contradict" they thank
tie audience for it's attention and
then they sit lo'vn behind the per-
spiring water pitcher.
Women might DO better. They
would at least be more original and
daring. Also il would be good prac-
tice for the ladies.

The Boy Scout movement has
been organized to give the boy a
chance to do what all boys are
vitality interested in doing and so to
develop all his powers and make
himself a self-respecting. efficient
citizen.
For the greatest need Of the day is
that our boys should develop into
good citizens. and our cities. with
their apartment houses and crowded
tenements. and their adjuncts, the
streets, glaring with evil influences
and temptations. do not offer ideal
conditions for the development of
good citizenship.
A fair chance for the boy is what
the scout movement is working for.
Give him a fair chance TO be a de-
cent boy and We need not worry
