Wars Cost in Human Life.

Of particular interest at this time the records
of killed and wounded in the last European wars
little squabbles in the Balkans" they sometimes
described. Prof. Octave Laurent has summed up
these losses of human life in the account of his
eleven months experience a surgeon with the Bull
garian troops, which has just been published in Paris
He writes for his surgical colleagues not to produce
a sensation.
Bulgaria, with 100000 inhabitants, put 100000
soldiers in the field. Of these $1,000 were wounded
and 10000 killed in the first war and 10000 killed
and 62,ooo wounded in the second Altogether Iso-
600 killed and wounded-one-third of the effective
force of the army and per cent of the population
There was one death out of every four injuries, a
very high figure.
In the last Balkan war 10000 men on both sides
were killed wounded on the field in single month
Eighty thousand of these fell on the banks of the
Bregnalitza in the six days from the goth of June
to the 5th of july 1913. =,
Prof. Laurent quotes an authoritative prophecy to
the effect that zero added to these figures would
give the losses in European war which would line
up two armies Of the Great Powers. There would
be not less than 100000 wounded and killed in a
month once the forces were fully in the field. The
figures may be an exaggeration, but they come ap-
proved by professional expert who has Just had
the latest possible experience-New York Herald

OId-Fashioned Way In Politics.

There are some old customs which survive off the
main Travelled road, and among those who are said
by some to have failed to keep step with the pro-
gressive spirit of the age, but like old-fashioned
flowers, old-fashioned women, and old-fashioned
home life, they recall memories of good old times
and give pleasure to not few. Here is that old
Fire Alarm Foraker, of Ohio after strenuous con-
test before the Republican primaries and while his
enemies are rejoicing over his defeat, sending tele-
gram of congratulations TO his successful opponent
and pledging him vigorous support for election.
Time was when that telegram of Foraker would not
have attracted attention, because it would have been
expected part of the ordinary amenities of poll
tics. But it does attract attention because it is
old-fashioned and perhaps reactionary
Following this Ohio incident comes another from
farther out, in what used to call 'the Wild and
Woolly West" with that old standpatter Uncle Joe
Cannon the principal In announcing his candidacy
for Congress in the Danville district, Mr.. Cannon
says: "lf nominated, will make vigorous campaign
for my election If another Republican shall be chosen,
will make vigorous campaign for his election. l
have been Republican since the organization of the
party" Has Senator Bristow sent message to for
mer Senator Curtis congratulating him and pedging
support, or has Mr.. Hinman, in New York, made an
announcement similar to that of Mr. Cannon?
If either of these developments have taken place
in the Progressive wing of the Republican party the
censor has prevented the news from getting to the
public Such incidents to be confined the old
sandpat wing of the party with the definition of that
term as given by Mark Hanna, who originated it in
his last appeal to the voters of Ohio to stand by
President Roosevelt few months before he died
In that appeal Mr.. Hanna said at is a serious
thought l want you to take home. Republican or
Democrat, take it home tonight and think it over.
Compare the conditions by your freside today with
those which existed eight years ago and then make
up your minds, and when you have reached decision
stand pat"
1t is, however, pleasant to see that the od-fash-
ioned way of declaring a fight before beginning to
fight and of signing treaty of peace and loyalty after
the fight is ended, has not entirely departed, even
though the custom is preserved by Foraker, the FIRE
alarm of politics for than a generation, and
Uncle Joe, the most unregenerate man in politics
since the civil war Let US hope that they may both
live long enough to a complete renaissance in
manly contests which will reach the great Pro-
gressiye leader the colonel

THE MOON AND TIMBER.

It may be asked in all seriousness how
much longer the superstition Will live
which ascribes to the moon an influence
over timber? This unscientihc and un-
provable claim has long held place in
the backwoods. where people were prone
to accept the teachings OF tradition with
out much concern about cause and enect;
but it is rather late in the day now for
educated people to attribute to the dead,
inert moon an influence on vegetation.
II there is anything certain II Is that
the moon has no observable effect on
the flow Of a trees sap or on the charac-
tiers and qualities of the wood II can be
argued scientifically that It can not have.
and 1t has been demonstrated in prac-
tice that II does not have, such effect.
Apparently there is some mistake in the
statement that the telling is done by
moonlight, or with regard to any phase
Of the moon. Accounts Of modern mahog-
any-logging operations in America and
Africa do not mention that custom. In
some Of the tropical regions hauling logs
from the woods is done at night because
the heat by day cannot be endured BY
the men and teams--Hardwood Record

An Income Tax Dream.

Doubtless the administration is in quandary over
the raising Of revenue to counteract the diminu-
ton of custom receipts caused by the war; but it is
safe to say that the American people will wait until
Congress acts before they will believe the story that
the income tax law is to be revised so to include
wages amounting to $1,000, or even $500 year.
This country is not engaged in a serious impoverish-
ing war, and such extreme measures are neces-
sary. The brand of craftsmanship that because Eu-
rope is in conflict could discover no means of pro-
ducing revenue but tax upon the wages of the
ts artisans and bookkeepers could possibly sur
vive single appearance at the polls
The suggestion of such extension of the income
tax sounds like joke, solution indorsed by
some iedgling politician accidentally pitched into
Congress. There need be apprehension that it has
been given serious thought by the administration
There is no immediate need for increased revenue
and it must be remembered that, while the great
bulk of our imports came from Europe, we do a
considerable trade with other countries whose goods
can be made to yield substantial revenue at our
ports if the tariff is properly adjusted.
The opportunity of the United States now lies
in largely increasing activity in every one of its in
dustres and in providing the ships for transporting
their products to markets that promise capacity
for absorption that will be almost itless for years
to come.

Fifty years ago today Gen. Philip
H. Sheridan's Federal Army of the
Shenandoah was retreating through
Winchester to the lower valley. while
the COnfederates under Gen. Jubal A
Early were in swift pursuit.
The scenes OF the days march of
these contending forces, along the
armies"-and in the town of Winches-
ter, were among the most striking Of
the war.
The people here, with rare excep-
tions, were hostile to the Federals, and
delighted in seeing the jubilant SOL
diers under Early apparently chasing
the Yankees into the Potomac. In the
many advances and retreats of armies
through Winchester. conflicting emo
tions had not so swiftly followed each
other in the hearts of the inhabitants
since the spring day in 1852 when
StOnewall Jackson sent Gen. n. p.
Banks flying through the town.
Throughout the forenoon the blue
ranks of Sheridans men, the we'll

comfortable homes of Winchester. To-

They had made a stubborn tight all

Out in Kansas where they have Statewide pri-

who never saw the inside of a law book, yet de-
feated two able attorneys for the nomination be-
he was nice fellow" But why blame the
law? If the people of Kansas, who, according to
their own admissions, are the most intelligent and
prosperous in the world, prefer bookkeepers for
Judges, why should they not have them? The whole
matter rests with the voters. There are judges and

The Victory at Waterloo.

History repeats itself. 1t was Napoleon against
the allies at Waterloo June I8 1875, and it is the
German Kaiser against the allies Waterloo
Victor Hugo said of Napoleon at Haugomant: This
nook of earth, had be been able 10 take it, would
probably have given him the world" But the Cold
stream Guards of WeIington's army held Haugo-
niant against the terrible assaults of the French
under Jerome Bonaparte. Blucher joined his forces
to those of Wellington and Napoleon lost Waterloo
and his crown
And yet Victor Hugo insisted that French prog
ress as illustrated by the revolution, triumphed at
Waterloo, that "Robesperre on horseback" was all
that really defeated that the allies found they
dare not dismember France and were compelled to
recognize the spirit of the revolution, and compel
Louis XVIII to sign the charter granting the rights
of man when he came to the throne.
What may be the fate of the Kaiser at Water
loo is TO be determined, and if he should win that
nook of earth he may possibly be able to dictate
terms to all Europe but it, like Napoleon he should
lose, it will not be the destruction of Germany
The development in industry and commerce in
Germany in the last forty years has been the new
spirit of enterprise in Europe The allies may defeat
and dethrone the Kaiser but they will be COM
PEELED to recognize the industrial civilization
which has been born and developed in Germany, and
for Europe.
Great peoples are not destroyed by war. on
the scale of the raging in Europe. The
fate of the Kaiser win not remove Germany from
the map, should that fate be similar the fate
of Napoleon. France has demonstrated that nations
do not die when emperors overthrown.

States would not permit German attack upon Canada
if such attack possible.
There is nothing in the Monroe doctrine that
would prevent German troops from marching from
one end of Canada to the other if they could get
there. If Germany tried to annex Canada, that
would be different matter. The Monroe doctrine
