DIVIDING THE sP0lLS OF WAR

OF course the Times-Union doesn {
know anything more about it than
the rest of us, but one of the most
interesting subjects for speculation
in this country is what will the al
lies do to Germany and Austria in
the event they conquer those two
nations. The Times-Union is the
only paper to our knowledge that
has definitely partitioned the spoils
of war among the conquerors, and
we give its interesting conclusions
with the single comment that it
touches the limit of fantastic alb
surdity when it says that Russia
will be the undisputed mistress of
Europe:
Germany will probably be dis
solved into the nations that COM
prise the German empire with some
territory cut off for Russia, France
and Belgium, and all her colonies to
Great Britain. Austria will prob
ably be divided into the separate
kingdoms of which she is composed
after giving slices to Russia and
Servia. Russia will be undisputed
mistress of Europe, but the car
will sit on tottering throne
France will get back A]sace and
Lorraine but will exist only as long
as Russia is willing. Great Britain
will get Germany's colonies, but
will see Russia strengthened for a
march on India or when aviation
makes battleships obsolete until
Russia desires to annex the British
isles. Belgium and Servia will each
get little territory which they
will hold until Russia wants it. o.
If Austria and Germany should win
Europe would consist of two powers
Germany and Russia. The Others
would be little more than depend
encies."

President Wilson did the right
thing all the way through the Mex
lean troubles, as even his enemies
now grudgingly admit; and now
that the war is over there and the
constitutionalists have been estab-
lished in power. with Huerta an ex-
lie and his cause hopelessly lost,
at precisely the right moment the
president orders the withdrawal of
our troops from Vera Cruz. We not
only avoided war with those people
without sacrificing the dignity or
any right of this nation, but we
won their respect and friendship by
the wise, firm attitude Of the ad-
ministration, and we now have
Mexico as friendly neighbor
when she might have been a per-
petual thorn in our side if the blum
dering big stick of a Roosevelt had
determined our policy.

That buy-a-bale-of-cotton move
ment. whether you need it or not,
to help out the Southern cotton
grower in the bog of low prices, is
a shrewd and worthy one, although
it necessarily appeals to Only lin
tied class. But it is a good specu-
lation, aside from its altrlism, and
if we had the money and a place to
store the cotton we would buy a
bale and hold it for the rise that is
sure to come. We can cOnscien-
tiously recommend it to our mon
eyed friends as good investment.
General Julian Carr, rich old gen.
tleman up in Durham, N. c., who
made his money in tobacco, and
very seldom loses on any enterprise
he goes into, takes the right view
of this subject. He is buying a
bale of cotton each week and says
he will keep it up as long as his
money lasts on until the situation
is relieved.

One of the stories of European
war horrors current just now in
some American papers reads as fol-
lows:
"They told me that during the
night the Germans had placed ten
Russians one behind the other, and
with jeering cries of See how hard
our bullets strike" fired at the hap
less victims.
The inventor of that yarn is a
shameless plagiarist. 1t was first
told, with merely q change of act
ors in the cast, nearly fifty years
ago in the United States and then
it was charged upon one of the
James or Younger brothers in Mis-
souri,, who was alleged to have thus
treated some captured Kansas jay.

dations. 1t was probably fiction
then, and with equal probability il
is fiction now.

The Jacksonville Metropolis wants
the State press to talk less about the
European war and more about Flor
ida, her resources and opportuni-
ties. The Telegram endeavors to
do justice to both of those big
themes, but right now the newspa-
per that makes the war play second
fiddle to booster stuff for Florida
will find itself short of readers :.
Man is a fighting animal and when
there is a big scrap in progress
peaceful themes have no charms for
him and he wants to be at the ring
side and either see the blood flow
or hear tell of it."

Hearty congratulations to the
Tampa Tribune and the Tampa
Times upon the success of their
splendid fight in the righteous
cause of securing to Tampa the re-
turn of the headquarters Of the
Florida customs district. Much the
greater part of the customs dues
are paid at the port of Tampa and
that should be the determining con.
sideration in selecting the head
quarters. President Taft removed
them to Jacksonville during the
last weeks of his administration
without apparently understanding
the relative importance of the TIVE
ports or consulting Congressman
Sparkman on the subject, but tn
injustice is about to be repaired
and all's we'll that ends well. TIL
Senate has passed the House bill t.
return the headquarters to Tamp
and the president will undoubtedl.
approve the measure. Congressman
Sparkman had done strong and per
sistent work to reach this end an
Senator's Fletcher and Bryan bot
voted for the removal.

The Tampa Times agrees with the
Telegram that there can now be no
reasonable objection to the latest
plan suggested by the commission
ers for putting Florida on the map
of the San Francisco exposition by
means of moving picture films in a
Florida building on the grounds,
showing in graphic style the seem
cry, development and products of
the State, accompanied by system

ature. The plan is feasible, attrac-
tive and taxes no one and it will
save Florida the unenviable distinc-
ton as one of the very few States
not represented at the great exposi.

ticle as follows:

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. ov. 13.-Rep-
resentatives Of half dozen labor or
ganizations were united today in an
endeavor to have the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor, now in session
here, unite in a war on the Standard
Oil. They are pressing the commit
tee on resolutions to report favorably
q resolution endorsing the establish
ment by the government OF an indus
trial alcohol commission to demon
strate conclusively, the practicability
OF alcohol distilling. In this connec-
ton, Delegate Andrew Fsurseth. OF
the International seamen's Union is
leading the fight.
"The development OF form dsna-
tured alcohol distiling, said Fur
seth today, in discussing the PROPOSE
ton, .if as effective A. European ex-
periments are said to be. would cur
tail II not destroy the monopoly on

are far behind Europe in our experi-
ments. The reason, you must know.
is that fully 1000 Of the supposed en-
ployes Of the agricultural depart
ment are paid by the Rockefeller edu-
cational fund and the Rockefeller
foundation"
In his resolution, which he expects
will be reported favorably, Furseth
recites Whereas the Rockefeller
foundation with its various education
al funds is evidently the means by
which the entire educational system
Of the nation, including the education

states and federal government are to
be dominated by the Rockefeller in
terests, and
