JENA OR SEDAN?

Will it be Jena or Sedan for the
kaiser?
In 1914 Napoleon and his army
marched in triumph through the
streets OF Berlin.
In 1870 William was crowned
emperor of Germany in the city of
Paris.
Now the irrepressible conflict be
tween Gaul and Teuton f. resumed.
Tradition and greed combine TO keep
the gall at the bottom of the cup. The
scared sore in the breast of France is
reopened. The humiliation OF Jena
still rsnkles in the heart of Germany.
New conditions have arisen, but the
German and the Frenchman are un-
changed. The old jealousies. the old
hatreds and the old sense of wrong
have survived the years of peace. The
struggle will be to the death, with the
odds OF numbers and strategic posi-
ton against Germany.
IL the war was between France and
Germany alone the result. though de-
layed, could scarcely be in doubt.
Germany would eventually overwhelm
and smother France. but Germany is
menaced from two angles. perhaps
three, on the east by Russia. on the
west by France, and then there is
Great Britain.
The war. II nothing intervenes TO
stop il at once. and there is no power
or Influence in sight 10 do that. Will
be the bloodiest in history. not except
ing the great civil war in the United
States. Invention has been busy with
the engines and. munitions OF war. In
no direction has greater progress been
made.
Facilities for the destruction Of hu-
man life and the decentralization OF
armies have attained a state Of per
lection which must make battles
short. sharp. decisive and fearful in
slaughter Prophecies OF a long war
cannot be credited. Compared with
former wars the present is likely TO

ONE Of our friends kindly but firm
~ protested against our constructive
classification of Longfellow with phi
losophers. We smiled indulgently at
mis- lack of comprehension. Every
poet must of necessity be a philoso-
pher, else he could not be a poet. and
vice versa The poets philosophy is
the philosophy of the heart and the
emotions and the philosophers poetry
is found in the relation of his every
thought to human interest.
PHILOSOPHY supplies the sub
stance to poetry, and poetry illum
mates and humanizes philosophy.
WHEN weary of the war news turn
TO the sporting page and find relief in
triumphs of peace.
ONLY three days after the Prince of
Monaco had settled at the Azores for
his summer vacation came the news
that war has been declared. Weary as
he was with welding the croupier
through a long and busy season the
prince departed Immediately for
Monte Carlo. This it seems TO us, is
one of the post pathetic incidents of
the war in Europe. How could the
poor prince know while on that long

banks or worrying over his deposit
The war in Europe viii not he per
mitted 20 affect their stability in the
slightest degree.
The government Of the United
States has mace il certain that the
banks Of America viii not be hurt by
the crisis in Europe Deposits in these
banks are as safe as they were before
the European troubles began.
Congress has authorized the issue
Of $500. OOO.O in currency TO be ad-
ded TO the circulating medium OF the
United States This currency is now
being sent out to the banks and will
give them all the circulating medium
they need without disturbing their
loans.
These precautions should give
feeling Of confidence to American
bank depositors.
The war in Europe is "A world mis-
fortune, but it will not be without its
material benefits Neutral countries,
like the United States. will com
mercially profit by IT. The business
Of the nations embroiled in the war
will be paralyzed the industries ex-
cept those pertaining to army and
navy equipment will be neglected. the
United States and other neutral coun-
tries must be depended upon 20 sup
ply the necessaries of life.
This means an enormous demand
upon the resources of the United
States. Foodstuns. clothing and other
necessaries of life must be manufac-
tured in immense qualities to supply
the demand from Europe and from
other parts Of the world which have
heretofore depended upon Europe.
II the war should be prolonged, as
now seems probable. our foreign trade
must reach proportions which will
make present enormous export figures
look small. 1t means a big demand

The United States occupies the po-
sition OF advantage commercially. IT

The American people should not
worry. They have every reason for
feeling safe and comfortable.

girls become mattresses SO as to get
something to eat. They come from
the small towns. work for a while in
offices or big department stores and
then. when they get hungry, they turn
to work in restaurants
This startling Indictment OF wage
conditions for women workers was
given 10 the industrial relations com
mission by Elizabeth Maloney, for ten
years the business agent of the wait

Urging minimum wage law with
a strong union to enforce all labor

poverty which she had found.

tips: girls in great stores who are paid
so little that hunger forces them to
different lives.
She followed Dudley Taylor, attOT-
ney for the employers association. be-
fore the commission. He admitted
that he did not know a wage scale
paid in any industry or the details
of any working condition. But he
was sure that labor unions are wreck

THE DELAYED DECISION.

If the railroads were bluffing when
the interstate commerce commission
didn't have to take the responsibility
of demanding showdown. Crop
prospects called the bluff before the
decision was ready, and crews which
were turned off in early spring went
back on the payroll before mid-sum-
mer.
No matter how hard an effort is
made TO show poverty, il is more than
human not 10 snatch at the first Of

kept getting better and better. 1t oe

their rolling stock into condition for

WHAT DUDLEY TAYLOR SAID.

Workers should be allowed to or
ganize-but they should be made re-
sponsible. The only way to control
them is to get control of their funds
in times of strikes.
The courts do not give protection.
Too many judges are timid when they
think of the votes of labor unions and
while l do not wish to use the word
'tOady, many judges are afraid.
I'VE ought To have a judge who is
named for life and who is away from
the influence of the polls. A commits

pie not to patronize these restaurants.

ployers were in. Each place had cost
from $1,000 TO 100000 and there was
no way TO get damages from these
women who were trying to wreck
them"

WHAT MISS MAIONEY SAN.

I'VE are entitled to a living wage
and that doesn't mean just enough to
eat and a place to sleep, but some of

mean much when a single worker
has to enforce them. it takes a union.
