Germany's War Theory.

Germany's relentless theory of war
is based on the presupposition of vic
tory. 1t provides for an ineXorable
inliction of the extreme penalty upon
a conquered country. The citizens who
take up arms to resist invasions are
shot; if anybody in a village violates
the laws of warfare, the village is de-
stroyed; if there is a rising in the
city, the city is burned, even though
it be an artistic treasure like Louvain.
The life of single German soldier
under such circumstances, says the
Staatszeitung, is worth more than the
whole city of Louvain, with its art
works the whole Baltic question, said
one Pomeranian grenadier-a view
which would have spared the world
this war. But if cities are to be
destroyed because some of the inhabi-
tants show an uncontrolled patriotism,
WUeTt Is dIUdllSul W olOp' IL thC
Russians should reach Berlin, would
treachery by few Berliners be JUS
tification for destroying the Prussian
capital? Between burning hamlets
where the people are obstreperous
and destroying an ancient and notable
city, there is a wide gap. Rome has
seen no end of "sniping" since the
Goths and the Vandals, but a good
deal of it still stands. If the Ger
mans as conquerors cannot temper
discipline with mercy, they will be
taking the world straight back to the
horrors of the Thirty Years War. For
a ruthless severity which may prove
effective against a weaker nation un-
supported by allies might lead to end
less increasing retaliation when many
powers are concerned. To insist on the
full pound of flesh even if it is in the
bond, is not always Spring
field Republican.

BIOLOGISTS SEARCH FOR ORE
IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA

McAlester Okla, Oct. 19.-South'
eastern Oklahoma may shortly be-
come the chief source of the world S
supply of steel-making iron ore, ac-
cording to expert geologists who have
spent the past several weeks making
preliminary surveys in the Jack
Fork hills. An abundance OF iron
has been discovered in the southeast
ern corner of Pittsburg county, with
deposits tapping over into Latimer
county, and geologists say that the
southeast Oklahoma mineral con-
tains as great a percentage of hem
attic, the basic metal for steel, as
can be found in any mines in the
world.
incidentally, several of these geol-
ogists are authority for the state
ment that the worlds supply of
hematite is almost exhausted, at least
the available supply. Most of the
worlds supply of hematite comes
from Belgium and Germany, now cut
off by the European war. Biologists
declare that the visible supply will
not last as long as two years, II
the war continues.
Large steel manufacturing concerns
as well as the United States govern

deposits. 1t is believed that the

gress TO do all in their power to
maintain the price of cotton above
10 cents a pound.
This would seem to indicate that
we can expect a determined effort on
the part of the members of this
body from the cotton growing states
to do everything within their power
to enact legislation along the lines
proposed in the bills presented by
the gentleman from Texas.
at seems very strange that the
administration and our democratic
friends in congress would seriously
entertain the consideration of legis-
lation proposing to deposit $5O0,OOO,-
600 in national and state banks, to
be loaned to the producers of cot
ton, or owners of land upon which
cotton is produced, at per cent.
Truly it has been said of this ad-
ministration, The south is in the
saddle"
The reservations of these two gen.
tlemen, leading exponents of the
principles of republicanism in their
two different sections Of the north,
east and west, indicate very clearly
that the G. o. p. still feasts on
prejudice and revels in the bloody
shirt, and that no hope of fair treat
ment may ever be held out to the
PROSTATE south from gentlemen "of
that ilk."

CAUSES WHICH HINDER RELIEF
tn SOUTH FROM GOVERNMENT

Washington, Oct 10. - Southern
members of congress are indeed un-
dertaking a herculanean task in their
efforts to relieve the present de-
plorable condition of the cotton pro-
ducers in the south. The working out
of any plan brings into the equa-
ton the opposition that naturally
comes from congressman and senators
representing states which do not pro
duce, but consume cotton, and many
of whom desire their constituents
to obtain cotton and its products at
the lowest possible price. While
this might seem to be very narrow
minded view, it is nevertheless a
fact.
The present congress is composed
of 435 representatives in the house,
and g6 senators. OF these just 9S
members represent cotton growing
districts. and only 90 senators hail
from actual cotton producing states
These figures show that the cotton
section has little better than one
representative out of every five with
this large majority of senators ana
representatives from the non cotton
producing section opposed to any leg
islation at this time it will really
approach the accomplishment of a
miracle if southern members sue
ceed in putting through their plan
Republican leaders openly proclaim
their objection to the federal govern
ment coming to the relief of the
south in this crisis. Time and again
has even the discussion of the cot
ton situation been smothered by the
objections of such prominent repub-
licans as House Leader Mann of
| Illinois and assistant Leaders Payne
of New York and Stafford of Wis
| consin.
On September % former republican
| floor leader Serene f. Payne of New
York of tariff bill, fame, regaled
the house with the following OBJ
/ servations:
"The war in Europe has temporar-
lily checked the marketing of the
cotton crop and there has been some
agitation in favor of government aid
TO the raisers of cotton. All sorts
of motions have been invented.
"For the sole purpose of aiding
the cotton growers of the south the
secretary of the treasury recently an
nounced that he would accept from
national banks through currency as
sociations notes secured by ware
house receipts for cotton. When il
was followed up by the Lever bill
which proposed government inspec-
tors of warehouses, it looked as
though the administration would gel
back on the old Ocala platform

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment: 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1T
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption. -,
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that 1t IS known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds

ceipts. 1t was largely ridiculed
throughout the country and was call
ed 'cornstalk currency It's authors
little thought that it would be re-
vived in another form by the secre-
tary of the treasury and the Lever
bill, applying all the principles OF
the Ocala platform to cotton.
Just why the Texas farmer should
not have a savings account to tide
over such a crisis, as the northern
farmer does, it is difficult to under
stand. A few years ago it was a
slogan of the democratic farmer
that the farmers in Kansas were
burning corn because of its low price.
But those farmers did not ask gov
ernment air.
"The truth is that this is trou-
bled sea upon which we should never
embark. once having done so, there
will be no end to the demands, and
people will learn to lean upon the
government and take no thought
of the future, depending upon the
taxes paid by othec people to keep
them out of trouble"

Charles II, Burke of South Dakota
late chairman of the house commit
tee on Indian affairs under the re-

the Wilson administration for partial
ity to the south in terms as follows

dent, and | assume authorized to

in a formal message read by the
clerk. in effect, that congress will be
kept in session until a number Of
bills are passed which will take large
sums from the treasury. Among 9TH
er bills that he would have passed
is one that he introduced on Sep
tember %. This bill is II. r. 1876,
and is entitled "For the temporary
relief of cotton growers in the south
Il presume, if this bill should be
passed, that the gentleman from
! Texas would want to have congress
continue in session to pass another
| bill introduced by him on September
3, which is II. X. 1860, and is en-
titled, For the temporary relief OF
American farmers engaged in the
production of cotton, to indemnify the
United States against loss, and for
other purposes
Section . of the bill provides that
when the federal reserve notes are
deposited in the federal reserve banks

ut would hardly seem possible
that congress would seriously con

is proposed by these bills, but with

expect anything. In the Washington
