The Power TO Declare War.

Many people who deeply deplore the deadly
conflict raging in Europe sscribe the outbreak
to the power exercised by the ruling monarchs
to declare war According to their idea Il lie a
contest between emperors and kings, rather
thar between the people Of the respective coun-
tries. which would not have been possible under
a government in which the power to declare war
lies not in one man, but in the representatives
OF popular sovereignty. Those who argue this
way try TO persuade themselves that in a coun-
try like ours, where a declaration Of war must
come from congress- no such combat at arms
would be possible upon similar provocation.
We regret TO have to note our dissent from
this conclusion. SO far as outward appear
ances go. the war is az much, IL not more. a war
OF nations than OF monarchs, and the people OF
the different countries are thoroughly aroused
TO practically unanimous support OF the war
lords Who are leading them Were the question
20 be put to referendum vote on a statement
OF facts they now understand tn EN-, the re-
turns in every one of these countries would be
overwhelmingly for war.
Neither does it follow that vesting the
power to declare war in congress- as we do
would have forestalled the trouble The truth
is that war is almost Invariably precipitated re-
CARELESS Of formal declarations The absence
of authority in the president to declare war did
not keep us from our tilt with Spain, nor did
the president wait for a command from con-
gress to seize Vera Cruz in our late hostile
demonstration upon Mexico.
War is more like a wild conflagration set by
a flrebrand or flying sparks, equally hard TO
check when once well started. While a war
can scarcely be successfully waged by any ruler
against an adverse sentiment of his own people,
war with a popular backing behind It is not
likely to be halted by putting the power to make

Sugar.

Mr.. Ultimate Consumer, who has been
shocked at the rise in the price of sugar as a
result OF the war, is advised by 80 good an au-
thority as Charles A. spreckels president of
the Federal Sugar Refining company. that "the
worst is yet to come" In other words Mr..
Spreckles says "If the war contlnues-and I'm
afraid IL Is going to be a long drawn-out affair
there is no telling where prices may CO."
The American sugar market went up, SO he
explains. Immediately because England need
ing some $4,000 tons monthly began compet-
ing with our refiners for the Cuban product
her main source OF supply being cut Off The
advance was accumulated by alert American buy
ers rushing in and purchasing granulated sugar
far in excess of usual amounts.
So much for the present situation. but the
future is even more protentous. Warning
European countries produce about 5000, 900
tons OF beet sugar yearly, or as MIR. Spreckles
says. approximately IS per cent of the world
supply. II is too much to expect that all of
the present European beet crop-yet In the
field-will be harvested and made into sugar
On the contrary. II the invading troops do not
destroy II the lack OF labor to gather the beet
crop and work II in the factory would prevent
This picture means continued high range
OF prices and curtailed consumption of sugar.
II also impresses the necessity of developing a
sugar industry OF our own capable of supplying
all American needs.

GERMANY and Her Railroads.

The imperial railroads OF Germany have
long been held up by American advocates OF
government ownership as illustration OF
what might be accomplished in the United
States. Yet. manifestly. one salient point has
been overlooked namely. that the very essence
OF the German plan goes to the kaisers original
scheme OF preparedness for war. Events at least
have shown that the German railroads form an
important and integral part Of the German war
machine. To consider the question Of ownership
strictly upon its merits. therefore, this should
be taken into consideration Military value GER
tainly does not form an element OF asset in the
appraisal Of American railroads.
