The Two CoIoneIs.

Following the visit of Col George Harvey to the
White House Sunday it is announced that Col. Henry
Watterson also may be early caller
There is no reason why the Kentucky editor
should not be- He is the last of the great editors,
and today wields pen brilliant and as formidable
as he ever did At over three score and ten he has
outlived Dana, Greeley Grady Reid Hastead and a
host of other Journalists and he still is able to
than hold his with the generation of i'm
personal editorial writers.
Mr.. Watterson's quarrel with Mr.. Wilson was not
of his own seeking. 1t was rather in defense Of
fellow journalist whose support for the Presidency
Mr.. Wilson believed would do him more harm than
good Mr.. Watterson became indignant at the
rebuff administered to Mr. Harvey, and espoused his
cause If Mr. Harvey, the principal is able to forgive
and forget, Mr. Watterson his second, should be.
The President has need of all the wise counsel
he can get He has plenty of the other kind. His
success has been in ignoring most of the advice
which has been given him. when he did not act dia-
metrcally opposite to it. The President will find
that he can learn a great deal from the Kentucky
editor, who from 1853 to 1913 fought battles for the
Democracy with the exception of the year 1896
when Mr.. Wilson thoroughly agreed with him.
A free and frank talk might convince both the
President and Mr. Watterson that they disagree upon
few matters of importance and that their being sepa
rated has not been of advantage to either.

Our Neglected Resources.

Now learn from Secretary Houston that we
are not dependent the foreign supply for our
limburger cheese. Yet we have been for years
munching crackers and limburger and emptying
our STEMS in the next morning belief that we had
spent the night on the banks of the Rhine
Day by day learning something new from
the We told that our own champagne is
as good the French product; certainly so if we
would not notice the labels. Our chemists declare
that could have foreseen the foreign conditions
our laboratories would have been prepared for any
emergency and our markets would not be depleted
of many of its most important drugs. Only the COM
paratively few have been dependent upon imported
goods. The styles of Paris have been more impor-
tant than the materials out of which they have been
fashioned.
Had used the resources at our command we
today would be independent of the rest of the world
and uninfluenced by the commercial disaster which
has overcome it. 1t has taken the war to bring US
face to face with this situation one by which we
will profit, if not in day, within the course of
very few years.

Morale In Business.

A Richmond banker, John T. Wilson, president of
the Bank of Commerce and Trusts has very clearly
and briefly summed up conditions in the United
States and his statement ought to be made part of
the record of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
which is slowly and ponderously thinking over the
proposition of giving the railroads a S per cent in
crease
Mr.. Wilson expresses doubt as to whether it is
worth while for American business men TO enter
the foreign field unless they confident that condi
tons at home sound and their business secure.
"In other words" says Mr. Wilson, "what is
called morale in army circles be established in
the army of the American business men before any
real foreign march be begun, and am convinced
that the restoration of confidence in the one
factor in the development of our resources and the
enlargement of our commerce. both in times of peace
and in times of war namely, the railroads. only can
accomplish this" L

The Point of View.

Until recently the attitude of the clergy of all
Affiliations toward the European struggle has been
characterized by admirable restraint, both in the
pulpit and in the religious press Even so authorita
tive teacher as the new Pope has done little in the
way of public expression beyond digni6ed and alto
gether sorrowfu protest against the savagery which
has not spared the age-enduring fabric which it is
his mission to safeguard. Now, however two lesser
champions have declared themselves each after his
own convictions, but with widely differing con-
clusions. Mgr. Robert Benson, son of the late
Archbishop of Canterbury, but himself a devoted
adherent to the Roman Catholic Church, is ener-
getic in his public denuncation of what he terms
"recrudescent barbarsm' as he is positive that his
native Britain is now engaged in conflict of truly
Christian principle" His co-religionist Archbishop
Sebastian G. Messmer, of Milwaukee is equally con-
fdent that England is now playing most perhdious
part
In the instance of Mgr Benson, it is not difficult
to find for his loyal outburst For thing,
it very probably is due largely to the ever-ready
amor patriae which becomes less insistent in
the makeup of Briton be he clergyman or layman.
In the case Of DR.. Messmer, however, the solution
is involved in some obscury. 1t cannot be ascribed
to love of country, for the good archbishop is not
German, but is Swiss by birth and Austrian only by
education. 1t may be said of him, also, that for all
practical purposes he is as good American as if
his forefathers had set foot in this country with Cecil
Calvert
How, then is it possible for this fair minded and
clearheaded preate to see no for criticism of
the methods employed by the invaders of Belgium
and France without any apparent reservation to de-
clare that the stricken Waoons have received and
still getting only their just deserts? 1t is certain
that no one who knows Dr. Messmer would venture
to impugn either his sincerity his ability to arrive
at logical conclusion. If he is ready to condone
the recent medieval vandalism at Louvain and
Rheims and to regard it merely incidental to the
fortunes of war, is only possible to explain what
to the great majority of his co-religonists
to be gigantic anomaly by the wonderful diversity
of viewpoint to which the human race is subject
That of course must explain when all other reasons
fail.
1t is that very point-of-view business which is
going to make trouble for the future historian when
he essays to fix the blame for this upheaval of the
nations The victor, whoever he may be, will prob
ably stand an excellent chance of acqutta but there
always will remain reasonable doubt in favor of
the other fellow This, too, regardless of all the
White Papers," Orange Papers" or papers of any
other hue devised to mystify the average man.

Newspapers and the War.

The amount OF space given by the American press
to war news has been very great-since August /,
rarely less than five pages, often seven and eight
The cable tolls have been enormous and the expenses
in the field heavy. Yet by that strange psychology
which causes events to yield to others of greater
magnitude in the world of news little that could be
called important happened in America during the
first FIVE weeks of war That little received scant
attention. The opening of the Panama Canal was
the chief event of world interest. 1t got couple of
sticks" Col Roosevelt disappeared from the front
page. Mexico and its sputterings worked its way
aft to page seven or eight. New York ran news
dry. Reporters sat idly in Offices of the great daes,
days at time. The Evening World has the busiest
battery of telephones in town They rarely rang

Aver6ng War.

Dr. H. Pereira Mendes, of the Spanish and
Portuguese Synagogue urges an international tribunal
composed of leading clergymen jurists, and diplo-
command public opinion" Perhaps it would if the
cIergymen, jurists, and diplomats of the various
nationalities. could be brought to agree upon the
facts principles or inferences involved in any dis
alton to encourage belief in such a consensus Nobody
will pretend that the diplomats have found any com
mon ground; it would be impossible to find any
coincidence of view among the jurists of the con-
tending nations, and the counter appeals of the Ger
and British eccesiastics recently addressed to
the outside world afford fair index as to the like
ihood of peace being assured by their Intervention
1t is to be feared that the secret of ayertng war by
talk or by thought has not yet been discoyered-New

Only faint hope remains that justice will be
done in the case of the victims of the Plaza con-
demnation proceedings at this session of Congress
These creditors of the government, many of them in
financial distress have waited year and half for
the money due them, and it looks if they will
have to wait at least six months longer. District
business in the House has been sidetraced to give
opportunity for oratory on subjecrs of remote i'm
portance because there has been no one to speak
q word in behalf of scores of people whose property
has been taken from them and who have pleaded in
van even to the President of the United States to
have provision made to pay their just claims. If a
corporation had treated these people as they have
been treated by the government of the United States
there would have been plenty of members of the
House loudly advocating that its officials be placed IN

AS incontestable proof that England wanted war
all the time and was secretly preparing for it long
before the crisis occurred may be cited the fact that

Fifty years ago today the Confederates
defending the approaches TO Richmond
on the north side OF the James River
began a movement designed TO check
further advances in that quarter on the
part Of the Federals. The bulk OF two
divisions. numbering near 1000 men,
were set in motion against the right flank
OF Gen. B. F. Buffers army OF the James,
which they were destined TO meet the
next morning.
