Democrat. on the pefensive.

A gain of 73 congressman by the
Republican party will put it in control
of the house of representatives and
enable it to checkmate the enactment
of laws which it may not approve
The prospect of Republican house
is unquestionabIy the reason why the
administration is lashing congress on
the antitrust measures at this time.
If the laws are not passed at this ses-
sion, it is likely that they will not be
passed at all, in the form desired by
the administration.
Republican members of the house
of representatives are eager to begin
the fall campaign. They believe that
the record of the administration fur
nishes an abundance of material for
reversing the Democratic majority in
the house They point to the business
depression as affected by the tariff,
coupled with the steady increase in
the cost of living; the failure to settle
the Mexican question; the repeal of
tolls exemption; the proposal to pay
$25 100000 and apologize to Colombia
for alleged wrongdoing; the disturb
ance to business on account of threat
ened drastic and unnecessary legisla-
ton; the breakdown Of the govern
ment's foreign policy. and numerous
other matters which have aroused
public criticism.
The Democratic administration is
necessarily on the defensive. 1t can
not win by making promises. because
it is in a position where the perform
ance of obligations, and not the MAX
ing of them. is in order. Every devia-
tion from the Baltimore platform con-
stitutes a point of weakness, and the
violation of the canal tolls plank alone
will call for the most energetic de-
fense on the part of the admintstra-
tiOn'S friends.

The extreme anxiety exhibited at
Washington in the endeavor to ex-
plain that Mr.. Jones of Chicago,
named for the federal reserve board,
was really a reformative force in the
harvester corporation. has been sup
plemented by the explanation by Sena-
tor Lewis that Ira Nelson Morris of
the same town, named as minister to
Sweden, although the son of the foun-
der of the packing house. withdrew
his inheritance and invested it in 9TH
er enterprises which, while paying
less in dividends were not being in
vestigated by the government for in
fractions of the Sherman law.
The seemingly unreasoning fear
which appears to possess the admin
istration lest it be connected in some
manner with suspected Influences is
at times absurd and never more SO
than in the labored efforts to show
that any "plutocratic" appointees have
been thoroughly disinfected before be-

Washington, D. C.-The gravity of
the European situation was reflected
IN an official dispatch from st. Peters
burg, saying the Russian minister of
war had said he considered war be-
tween Russia and Austria almost in
evita BILE.
His statement was made after the
Russian ministry had issued an Off
cial declaration that Russia was great
ly disturbed and could not remain in
different in the crisis that had arisen
between Servia and Austria-Hungary.
The order for the complete mobili-
zation of the Russian army was con-

President Wilson said, in answer to
inquiries whether the United States
would try to bring about peace in Eu-

subject, but that the traditional pol
Icy of the United States was not to

that in the present crisis the United

WHEAT SWAMPS RAILROADS
Embargo on Grain Shipments to Gal
weston Announced by the Rock
Island and Santa Fe.

Kansas City.-Two railroads have
run up the distress signal and cried
for relief from the Kansas flood of
wheat. The outlets to the gulf for
export wheat at Galveston are bank
full. 1t did not take long for the tidal
wave of 1S4 million bushels of wheat
in Kansas to fill and choke the arteries
of transportation.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific railroads announced to the deal
ers on the board of trade an embargo
of wheat shipments to Galveston until
August ?. That means the railroads
are to accept no more shipments of
wheat to the gulf port until that date.
At that time the embargo will be lifted
and grain shipments for Galveston will
be accepted again.

James Lowell, a distinguished pa
triot of the Revolution, died 100 years
ago in the town of Windham, Me. Mr..
Lowell was born in Boston in 1877 and
graduated from Harvard college at
the age of fourteen. He delivered.
April 2, It'll, the Grafton before the
town authorities on the Boston mas
sacre. Because of his display of pa
triotism he was imprisoned by Gen.
eral Gage Immediately after the battle
of Bunker Hill. Subsequently he was
conveyed to Halifax with the British
army, and remained in confinement
until exchanged for Governor Skene in
the latter part of 1776. From 1776
until 1852 Mr.. Lowell was a member of
the Continental congress. In later life
he filled number of public offices in
Boston.

BLOODsHED IN DUBLIN RIOT
Scottish Troops Kill Four and
Wound Sixty.

Dublin.-Three men and one woman
are dead and more than sixty wound

suit of a battalion of the Kings Own
Scottish Borderers firing into a mob
in the streets of Dublin Seven of the
wounded are expected to die. Among
them are three women and a boy of TO-
The affray was the climax of a gun
running exploit of the Nationalist Vol
unteers who were being aided by
mob composed largely of women and
youths. A consignment of rifles, said
to mum ber 10000, was landed at noon
at Howth, nine miles from Dublin,
from a private sailing yacht, the name
of which had been painted over. A
woman, or a man in woman's cloth
ing, some persons say, commanded the
yacht. The Nationalist Volunteers cut
the telegraph wires, stopped travel on
the Dublin roads and, according to
reports, sent away most of the rifles,
together with 10000 rounds of ammu-
milton in motor cars.
A thousand volunteers marched from
Dublin to receive the arms but de-
clared they merely were making
practice march. Local police and the
coast guard tried to prevent landing
but were driven off. Dublin author
tiles sent sixty police, later reinforced
zy 200 others under command of an
assistant commissioner.
Excited crowds fill the streets of
Dublin, some men carrying rifles. The
Borderers are confined to barracks to
prevent the people attacking them. A
street car in which a soldier was rid
ing was wrecked but the soldier es-
capped. Further rioting is feared.
Among those seriously wounded is

Nationalist Volunteers.
A number of policemen have been
suspended for refusing to try to dis

SEEMS SURE
History to Repeat Itself With
Democratic Party.
Recent Tariff Revision Which Has
Benefited Nobody Will Surely
Cause a RevuIsion of Feeling
Among Voters

The New York Times is trying to
persuade itself that there is no truth
in the axiom that revision of the
revising it. There Is no logical or
necessary association between tariff
revisions and swift following party
reverses. But experience has estab-
lished a very close connection be-
tween them.
There have been five big tariff re-
visions since the war. The Repub-
icans lost control of the house of
representatives after passing the tariff
acts of 1882 1890 and 1909 The
Democrats lost the house after pass
ing the tariff act of 1894. In only one
instance has a revision not led to
vised the tariff in 1897 and retained
control of the house of representatives
in 1898 by a narrow margin. But the
Spanish war had intervened, and the
chief issue in the campaign of 1898
was not the tariff, but imperialism" !"
This fall the axiom will have an
o&ler try-out. Its knockout percent
age so far is 800, and according to
past performances the odds against
the Wilson administration are four to
one. In the present temper of the
country these odds are fairly iusti-
fed. The tariff revision of 1913 has
not helped the consumer and has hit
many producers hard. There is no
good reason why it should not carry
the Democratic party down to defeat

FURRY IN WHEAT MARKETS
European War Declaration Causes
Prices to Advance Nine Cents
at Kansas City.

Kansas sCity.-Declaration of war by
Austria against Servia caused the
greatest excitement in the wheat mar
kets that has been experienced in
many years. The result was an ad-
vance in price of cents a busheI.
The trade had been nervous ever
since the opening and price had risen
one to two cents when the definite
news of the outbreak of war came.
Then the offerings of wheat suddenly
diminished and there was an immed-
late clamor among brokers to cover
short sales The bidding became so
urgent that prices jumped a half cent
between sales until prices had risen
six to eight cents above yesterdays

Theodore Dresser, the realist, said
of an idealist at the Players club in
New York:
The mans comments on life are
ludicrous and absurd. They remind ME
of the old 1ady's comment on the work

had slashed a Valesquez, Bellini and
a Gentle, the old lady said. with a
kind of sanity expression:
But, thank goodness, they're all

Semi-weekly herald., 1914-02-16

Of Sioux City and the northwest and
even in an early day Sioux City was
one of the best advertised cities on
the map-largely as result of Mr..
Perkins effort, an effort that might
well be employed in Denver or Du-
range.
Mr.. Perkins filled many positions
of trust-served in the Iowa state
senate. then United States marshal,
and four terms in congress. At one
time he aspired to be governor but
was defeated in the nomination.
The funeral was held last Friday.
The dispatches tell us that practical
ly every place of business was closed
for an hour and when it is known
that Sioux City has something like
$4,000 population, this means some
thing. Not only the business houses
but saloons as well, and most of the
public and civic buildings locked their
doors, even trading at the stock yards
ceasing for the time. And all in hon
or of Sioux City's most distinguish.

Like Senator Cullom, Mr.. Perkins
left a name as heritage to his fam
lily that cannot be taken away.

THE ALASKAN RAILROAD BILL

The surprising fact in connection
with the passage through the senate
of the Alaskan railroad bill is that
it has elected so little adverse com
ment, Notwithstanding the determin-
ed opposition that has been so wide
ly expressed to government owner
ship of railroads. To be sure the en-
actment of the Alaskan bill will not
commit the country to the policy of
government ownership, but if the ex-
pertinent in railroad construction and
operation in our northern territory
proves successful, it will unquestion-
ably have powerful effect in chang
ing public sentiment on the general
question of government ownership.
The economic significance of this
action, as the Dallas News points out,
is hardly less noteworthy than its
political import. 1t is common know
ledge that there are immense coal
fields in Alaska which this railroad
is to open up and that it will be the
means of saving the people from the
greed Of private capital That it
will very sensibly modify the econ
omic condition of this country the
average man little imngines, and yet
that will be the case if those who
have made study of the matter are
not wrong in their reasoning. A
press dispatch the other day an
