The Light Breaking?

(kansas City JournaI)
President Wilson went into Office
under peculiarly favorable conditions.
He was personally popular. He was
known as clean and honest. There was
no faint upon his private or public
character Almost without exception
the Republican newspapers spoke we'll
of him. Criticism was withheld I'M
til after there had been ample oppor-
unity for him to make good. He had
both branches of congress to carry out
his undertakings. He had all the ma
chinery Of government at his COM
mand. Surely if ever a president was
equipped to try out his theories OF
government, Woodrow Wilson was.
There was never any serious division
in his own party. Congress did his
bidding willingly and promptly. Ey-
cry measure that the president want
ed adopted was passed. He cannot
plead obstruction as an excuse for the
bad results that followed. Compared
with the alleged failure of the Taft
administration the Wilson failure is
an overwhelming disaster Wilson took
hold of the reins of government at
time when the people were prosperous
and hopeful. He is now pleading for
a continuance of his administrative
experiment at a time when the coun-
try's industries are PROSTATE, the peo-
pie depressed and when the only
bright prospect that lights the path
way of the nation is the hope of Re-
publican success.

Thousands and tens of thousands

There are several thousand patrons
of the saloons in the California peni-
tentiaries who are there because OF
the operation of this fiourishing
liquor industry. They have lost their
jobs. Their families have suffered
and are suffering. We have saloon
insane in our asylums. They have

suffering. We have saloon paupers
in our almshouses. They have lost

An Empire Goes Dry.
(Percival Gibbon in Collier's)

Percival Gibbon in CollierS)
Last year the states profits from
the vodka monopoly amounted to $780,
100000 rubles-say, roughly, $3.50, ,000
1 do not know how the statistics of
drunkenness stand, but to the eye
Russia was the drunkenest country in
the world.
The villages were sodden with it;
the ritual fasts and the drinking were
beginning 10 have their effect on the
physique of the people.
Then came the threat of war and
the mobilization, and Russia showed a
new face to the world. She had her
people organized and under military
law: an order or a ukase was suffic-
lent to effect anything. and the bayo-
nets were there to back it. Suddenly,
with that same peremptoriness that
robbed a Jew of his birthright or
threw Finland into chains, the world
went forth and the whole sale and
manufacture OF vodka ceased. Russia
was struck sober.
In 1904 the men came drunk from
their homes to the centers; one saw
them about the streets and on the
railways and in the cutters. But these
and will perforce be sober to the end.
OF all that elaborate and copious ma
chinery Of war which Russia has built
up since her failure in Manchuria,
there is nothing so impressive as this.
Her thousand and odd aeroplanes, her
murderously expert artillery, her neat
and successful field wireless telegraph,
even her strategy, count as secondary
to 1t. The chief of her weaknesses
in the past has been the slowness Of
her mobilization; Germany, with her
plans laid and tested for a mobiliza-
ton in four days, could count on time
enough to strike before Russia could
move. She used her advantage to
effect when Austria planted the seed
Of this present war by the annexation
of Bosnia and Herzegovina; she was
able to present Russia in all her I'M
preparedness with the alternative Of
war in "a hours or an acceptance of
the situation. But this time 1t has
been different.
At st. Petersourg-we call 1t Petro-
grad now-one sees how different.
Hither, from the northern and eastern
governments, come the men who are
to swell Rennenkampf's force. Their
cadres, the skeletons Of the battalions
OF which they are the flesh, are wait

Col. Roosevelt's latest discovery, that
Of the plans of at least two empires
now involved in war to capture our
great cities and hold them for ran
son." should startle nobody. At the
headquarters of the war department
of every nation there are plans of
campaign against all other nations
with whom war is possible. 1t is an
essential part of the business of the
staff to prepare for contingencies by
considering and demonstrating how
they may be met. officers would be
very imperfectly equipped for their
work in the higher posts of the ser
Nice if they were not trained TO solve
such problems of war
Thousands of newspaper readers
saw the German plan some ten weeks
ago. A translation of the plan of
Operations against the United States
of North America" written by Gen.
Won Edelsheim of the Prussian gener-
al staff, told how our principal ports
were to be captured and the country
was to be injured by interrupting
their communications, by destroying
all buildings serving the state COM
merce and defence, by taking away all
material for war and transport. and,
lastly, by levying heavy contribu-
tons" One of the closing statements
was that Germany is the only great
power which is able to tackle the
United States singlehanded."
Our own American war college pos
sesses a plan of operations against
Germany, with one against every 9TH

he Main issue.

To the sensible man no pointing the
moral is necessary in the following
from the Hartford Courant:
Go out to West Hartford, take your
position in almost any street occu-
pied by men who work for their daily
bread, and you will find a great many
OF these men pottering around at some
home job during the usual working
houls. These men are industrious and
honest and frugal. They are not loaf
ing for the fun of the thing, or plac-
ing their own house interests ahead
Of their income interests. Some of
them own their houses clear of all
obligations. Others are still in the
process of paying for home of their
own. Still others pay rent. 1t is all
rather modest; but it also is all thor
oughly comfortable, thoroughly decent,
thoroughly American. Some of these
men were born in foreign countries,
and have come here because of the
better chances here to make homes
for themselves, and because of the
equal chance here that industry and
frugality will make them as thor
oughly respected members of the COM
n1unity as anybody. Some of the
names of these men would sound
strange tc the Pilgrim Fathers. if they
could hear them; but a look at these
mems faces and a little listening to
their talk would reassure our dead
and gone forebears that the general
stock of manhood in this country was
still in good shape.
Why then, are these men not away
at their usual work? When this coun-
try was better managed than it is now
you would not find them at home dur
ing working hours. They were all
away and busy in their varied voca-
ticns, keeping the bread and butter
coming in for the daily meals, and
slowly but steadily piling up that little
surplus which was TO give their chill
dren a better start than they had.
Have these men suddenly gone stale
ON work? Not at all. They are not
working for pay because they can
not find the work to do. Our DEMO-
cratic friends, in their high and self
confident wisdom, have taken the
wrong pig by the ear. They have over
looked the producer in their Efforts to
make the consumer happy, with the
immediate consequence that we now
have. if not fewer consumers, at least
amallar consumers, simply because
our producers have been pitched into
the ditch.
In this country the number of men
whe can consume much without pro-
ducing something are very few, and If
this Democratic reversal of the natur-
al law were applied long enough and
strictly enough there would be none
at all It is the productive force Of
country that counts, and not the
consuming force, If the producing
power of q country could be abso-
lutely extinguished by law, there
would be no consuming capacity left,
it being true of business as it is of
mankind that both depend upon the
producing power for continued exist
ence. All of these men of West Hart
ford, Of whom we are speaking, have
to be producers before they can be
consumers, and this is generally true
Of cur entire country. IF we are not a
nation of producers we are nothing,
for that is the only line in which this
country holds a commanding place.

A little boy was laboriously looking
up his spelling words in the diction-
airy when he came upon one whose
meaning was perfectly apparent to
him. He dashed off a sentence con-
tanning the word "capsize," and passed
to the next. Imagine the teachers
establishment when he recited glibly;
