COURANT WRONG AGAIN.

The office boy must be writing edi- torials on the Courant these days for it does not seem as if any one with Judgment would say as the Courant said yesterday, that no one should set up the doctrine that the present state of business d1sproves the re- publican policy of protective tariffs. The Courant goes on to say: eff we had not protected our infant indus tries and helped them to grow up into lusty adults, we should have nothing here now except agricultural products. The fallacious free trade doctrine has it that we should make only what we can make cheaper than right; but where could We go today to buy things7" The author of that saying certainly does not understand the situation. In the first place no one has ever denied the wisdom of protecting the baby industries referred to and no one would deny the wisdom of protecting them today if they needed it.
 The Courant should remember, however, that there are a great many articles needed in domestic manu- facture and in other branches of in- dustry which are purchased abroad and because we are unable to pur- chase them in the present crises have been the means of throwing people common knowledge. As to our for eign trade, the closing of the foreign markets has injured business in this country. Why? Because we manu- facture many articles at a less cost than is done in Europe and we un- dersell them at home. The Courant this morning had an article in which it explained that one of the big fac- torles In Harford is about to go on snort time and one of the reasons giv- en IS the closing of the foreign mar ket on account of the war This Is not d qoestlon to quarrel over, but one which calls for the exercise of common sense and a desire to he fair and honest with ourselves. If neon1e wish to vote the republican +,cLa+ let them do so but it isn't square +o be making statements which are no+ SO. The Courant is too good a. news- paper to be engaged in that kind of business.

5,576, 265 persons. Of these it is es- timated that about 2O,O0O,O00 have been called to arms. The combined armies will eat 25,OOO tons of food daily. One round of ammunition for this host of men would cost $600,000 In the battles Of a day these men could pile up an expense bill of $4O,0OO,00O or more.
 The nations involved. with the ex- ception of Russia, are large importers of wheat and other food products. With the shackling of shipping and the withdrawal from the fields of hundreds of thousands of products, imports are made impossible at time when pro- duction is reduced to it's lowest notch and expenses of all kinds raised to the highest point. This not only means the prompt pinch of hunger and pow erty to the countries in combat but cuts off the product markets of India, Australia and in large degree of Amer ica. But while America may seek markets elsewhere, India, Australia and China may not do so. India's wheat and Australia's meat and China's rice may not be shipped to Europe. India must suffer even with full granaries. Australia and China must stagnate.
 Ehe nations involved in the fighting owe fully sl9,OoO, O,O0O,OOO in the form of national debts. This sum by a war may easily be increased to S25,000,- G0O,OOO and by war of year be swollen to more than $31 ,0OO, 100000. Indemnities, re- newals of ornaments on land and sea after the war may double this vast sum. On debts aggregating S60,- 900, 100000 these 75,000,000 people, with industries prostrated and povet- ty everywhere, will be called on to pay interest. Taxes, already heavy, must double.
 Were these the only expenses to meet after the blood-letting, rallying from the staggering blows of the war might lot be so difficult. But the prophets are declaring that this will be the bloodiest war in history; that million men may be killed and as many more incapacitated while the earning pow CTS of 2,OO0,000 will be lessened from twenty-five to fifty per cent. This state of affairs will add billions to the loss account. To make up any part of these bewilderingly large sums will re- quire the grinding efforts of years in which progress in science, the arts, literature and philosophy must be sac rlficed in the struggle for sheer ex- istence.
 It is possible to speculate from these premises on just how long the burdened peoples will staeger forward under their loads without outbreaks of fury which may topple crowns and thrones in the dust, bringing about the autonomy of races advocated by H. G. Wells as the possible means to indefi- n1te world-peace. But statistics and spcculations are of equal worth. Time may develop altogether different con- d:t1ons than these statistical prognos- tlcat1ons indicate. It is better to prophecy after than before the event in this instance.

In the War Zone.
(Contributed.)

An important phase of the present European war is it's effect upon Christian missions. Questions are coming every day to the officers of the merican board as to how much that society's work is involved and what action will be taken as to the out going of new missionaries and the returning to their fields of those now on furlough. -." ,~
 At present only one mission of the board is engulfed in the war, that is the one centering in Prague, Austria. Here Dr. and Mrs. A. w. Clark and Rev. and j Mrs. John s. Porter with six children live. They direct an ex- tensive work in Russia, Bohemia and Moravia.. Ninety congregations, two of them in Vienna, are in their field. Most of these have native pastors and many have good houses of worship. The Americans are probably quite safe, but the native pastors, col porters and church members will have to go into the army. All communi- cation between the mission and the home office is cut off.
 In Servia the one station now in operation is Monastir, far away from the present fighting. Letters from one of the boards staff, who has been at Belgrade, speak of hardships brought upon the Christian churches by the new alignments of territory between Servia and Bulgaria since churches made up of former Bulgar- ians must now conduct their services in the Servian tongue. If there should be a successful attempt to create a new Slavic state, probably the board s entire Balkan mission would be in volved and the workers in Albania, Bulgaria and Servia would have to go through another period of war
 No new missionaries or returning missionaries can now be sent to the Balkans or any of the three Turkish missions in Asia, neither can they se- cure transportation through the Mediterranean on their way to India and Ceylon. Passage to China and Japan can only be secured with safety in American steamers across the Pa ciflc. There was for time no secure way of sending money to the mis- sionaries in the near east. Supplies, of course, are likely to be laid hold of anywhere they may be found and, indeed, cannot be routed to most of the stations.
 In the meantime missionaries and native Christians are always in de- mand to organize relief work, to care for the sick and wounded, to turn missionaries homes and churches and chapels into hospitals and dtspen- sarfes and to give comfort and ray of hope to the sick and heart broken.
 Count Okuma of Japan says that the end of European civilization has come The missionary can only say that in these days of horror the Christian religion gives the only help there is given at all.

Our Buns ,in London.
(Brockton Times.)

Wherever calamity strikes and charity comes to the rescue, there will be found the meanest of all thieves. No aid of any kind, on any scale or on any occasion, can be offered with out encouraging fraud on the part of the thief who preys on the afflicted. This was seen in the Ohio flood dis aster and more recently at Salem, and now, if reports are true, London is the great field for the operations of the wolves of disa ster," as somebody has called them. American pan handlers" in droves are said to be re- ceiving sympathy and money in Lon- don upon representing themselves to be stranded tourists. Five hundred of these providers were rounded up by a citizens relief committee and offered free passage home, but they preferred to stay-and steal This form of graft, to use a mild term, probably will be used in foreign cities as long as the war lasts for it cannot be easily sup pressed where there is confusion. Again we see an excellent illustration of the need for red tape in dispensing ordinary favors

The End of 8 Nation.
Cleveland Plain Dealer. )

Last week the Cherokee nation ceased to exist. The Indians, as citi- zens of the state of Oklahoma and possessing the full rights of American citizenship, had no longer any need of their tribal government. The tribal funds will be divided among the mem- bers of the tribe. Among other dis tinguished men United States Senator Owen will receive a share, which will amount to about $15.
 The Cherokees, under largely unre- stricted self-government, made re- markable strides They, alone of the civilized Indians, possessed an alpha bet and written language. The al- phabet was the invention of a full blooded Cherokee, and is still used for the printing of newspapers and for official documents.
 The progress of the Cherokees has been convincing proof of the excel lence of the American Indian when he is uncorrupted by the white mans evils. The Cherokees conducted their own affairs. and vigorously excluded the Indian exploiter They are the best of the five civilized tribes, but the advance of the other four is only less remarkable. Instead of being van- ishing race the Indians of Oklahoma are multiplying in numbers.
 The other four nations have also signed treaties with the United States by which they undertake to abolish their tribal governments. They have progressed more slowly than the Che rokees. however, and are not yet ready to give up their individuality.

REILLY AND DUNN FOR BALD

Congressman Reilly and Comp
 troller Dunn have declared in favor of Governor Baldwin for United States senator; to do other wise would be to refuse to recognize not only merit but the work of a man who carried the state for the democracy when it seemed that the party would never have a chance to return again to power in Connecticut. He did not seek the nomination for governor but after serving two terms he has expressed wish for the United States senatorship and it seems as if he might well have his wishes granted. The progressives may so cut into the republicans vote as to enable the democratic nominee to win but there is some evidence that Senator Brandegee is not going to be an easy man to beat. He is thought pretty we'll of in Connecticut and whoever runs against him. whether it be Baldwin or Mahan, will know they have been through a campaign when 1t is all over.
 There is nothing to be gained by saying that Congressman Mahan is not of senatorial size. He is competent man and no one who has had any dealings with him or who observed his public career but will say that he is wise and sagacious individual with a great capacity for work and the ability to perform it we'll. Any other line of argument might as well be dismissed.
 It is apparent that the democratic leaders are endeavoring to smooth out the kinks in the party machinery as a preliminary to the making of nominations and 1t may be noted that the republicans are engaged in the same occupation. It is not bad idea, for when the sailing is smooth the campaign can be more satisfac- torily conducted. What the people desire is clean educational cam paign and then let them do, the voting.

POPE PLUS X DEAD.

One finds it easy to see in the life
 of Pope Plus x, who died last even
 [ng,. the simplicity, the sweetness and
 the modesty of Him who lived the life of peasant in Jerusalem over
 1900 years ago and who gave up his
 demption of mankind. The pope was
 a Venetian by birth and his biog-
 raphers tell of his poverty, how he
 wentsto school barefooted, how studi-
 ous 1e,was in the class room and how
 during alu his quiet life, spent among
 the hills sand the mountains of the |peasantry, he was deeply religious and
 devoted to the Master. When he
 went to Rome as a. cardinal to join hi electing a. successor to Pope Leo ,kIII,sit was with no thought that he
 woulds be chosen; in fact he had pur- chased. a. return ticket to his home, so far lwere his thoughts from the great honor that was to be conferred upon himself. It waA a good choice, ,sfor he chose for his motto, ITO restore all things in Christ" and Feligiouslyv adhered to it until the last.

Big and Little Men in Warfare. IndianapOlis NewS)

It is 8 matter of some alarm today in Britain that the average height of the indoor workers from whom the army and navy are recruited In the event of war is only five feet, five inches. 'The strength of a nation,' ,'' is the cry of the London press, "can- hot be measured by the strength of it's ships; it has always been and always must be measured by the strength of it's average man. When we licked the French we collared their ships, mounted the British flag and sent their choicest men-of-war to Davy Jones. They may build their ships my 1ads,' runs the brave song, but they can't build the boys of the bull dog breed.' And we are building boys of the. bulldog breed five feet, five inches high!'' -
 But, after all, the question of the mere height of men, considered in connection with the means and methods of modernswarfare, will have little to do with the case. This was exemplified in -.. the Russo-Japanese war, when the little brown men were of the bulldog breed" And we are building armies of the big fellows of Russia
 And now, with all the great nations Of Europe in arms, little Holland is n1obiizing her troops This recalls a story of some years ago. The prince consort of Holland, a guest of the kaiser, was attending a review of the German troops. A regiment of six footers passed by. Not tall enough said the visitor to the kaiser
 A second regiment passed in review, in which every man was six feet five inches high:
 Not Stall enough" said the man from Holland.
 Not tall enough!" exclaimed the kaiser. What do you mean?"
 II mean, your majesty said the visitor, when we open the dikes the water averages eight feet deep."

It is interesting sometimes, to ob- serve how the legal mind works. The County Health Officer, having been informed of the presence of the dead body of a man somewhere at the bot tom of Lake Quassap paug, first deter mines whether or not the lake is a state-controlled body of water. Hav- ing determined that it is not so con- trolled, the question arises. does the presence of the dead body of a man in the lake constitute a nuisance? If it be decided that 8 nuisance does ex- ist, then the authorities may, possibly, take some action.-Waterbury Ameri- can.
