When the case of Tanner VS.. Ringo
was called at Owensboro Monday by
/ Special Judge Thurman, Mr.. Ringo
relied upon a demur to the petition,
on the ground that notice had been
filed too soon, and the case was
thrown out of court upon that ground
Mr.. Ringo made a serious mistake.
He should have waived any such
technical grounds. He should have
invited investigation with the declar-
alton that he would not take a nomi-
ination which came to him through
fraud, or corruption. How could
man with clean hands seeking a po-
sition which makes it his duty to
prosecute others for corruption do
otherwise? 1t may be that recount
of the ballots would not change the
result, but with Ringo's slender ma
jority few errors might do so. I'm
der the circumstances the outsider
can only conclude that he feared a
recount OF the ballots or the testi-
mony which might be brought out
showing corruption and vote buying,
which is charged was resorted toin the
primary. in the interest of himself
and running mate. Mr.. Ringo lost
another good opportunity to retain
at least a semblsnce OF confidence
among his constituents. when he
failed. after Judge Birkhead had
overlooked II, to charge the Ohio
county special grand jury to investi-
gate the charge OF corruption in the
Democratic primary in Ohio County
II is remembered that in 1918, two
short years ago, Mr.. Ringo made a
vigorous speech to the October term
grand jury on the subject of vote
buying in which he breathed fire and
against any and all viola
ions OF the election laws. He pro-
,ured the publication OF this speech

In the final analysis war is always

resources?
This summer I was in Germany

Mr. Taft characterizes the German
note as "'lrresponsive and inconclusive."
We should say. rather, that the reply
was responsive and inconclusive. So
far as the Lusitania is concerned, the
German government responds to Presi-
dent Wilson's demand that the lives OF
neutral American citizens shall not be
put in jeopardy by the capture or de-
struction of an unarmed merchantmen
by alleging that the ship was "un-
doubtedly' armed. The reply, there
fore, was responsive; for the fact as TO
the armament of the Lusitania is the
crux of the question. The reply is in
conclusive for the simple and plainly
avowed reason that it was not intend
ed to be conclusive; and the circum-
stance that II is inconclusive and not
conclusive leaves room for peaceful
adjustment, honorable to both parties,
in case Germany finds that she was
misinformed with regard to the status
OF the Lusitania. If she cannot be
convinced, or declines to admit the
force of evidence that in any other
case would be regarded as decisive,
then the matter becomes serious. to
ourselves and to her. 1t Is for Ger
many to say, after the Presidents re-
joinder has gone over to Berlin.

How do American women regard the
war? If conditions should eventuate
which would make 1t necessary for
Uncle Sam to decide to enter the world
conflict in defense of our national hon
or, would the women of the nation put
on a brave front and with a smile
on their face and a sword in their
breast bid their sons and husbands
go forth to battle Or would they use
their influence and power to prevent
such an expression of patriotism?
If the sentiments of Philadelphia
women are any indication of those of
the country at large, the feminine
popularity is almost uneQuivocally op-
posed to bloodshed as a means of set
Ting international disputes.
In symposium of opinion gathered
from mothers and women widely
known in civic affairs, they were al
most without exception vigorously
against war. Many of the mothers,
particularly those with sons of war
going age. declared for peace at vir-
tually any price.
Unlike the Spartan women, who
would rather have seen their menfolk
dead than holding back at a time like
this. these women, all of whom had
read the Presidents note to Germany
with a realization of the consequences
which might entail, declared them
selves in favor of higher patriotism
which did not evince itself in heart
rending and futile slaughter of the
manhood of a nation.

THE STEEL CASE

THERE is good reason to hope that
the Supreme Court OF the United
States will confirm the decision of
the Court OF Appeals in the case of
tnc Government against the United
States Steel Corporation. handed down
at Trenton yesterday. In the first
place. the opinion clears up in very
logical manner a number OF disputed
points and in the second place ii
abounds in common sense from start
10 finish. The application of the find
ings of the Supreme Court in this case
will be so wide that an early decision
is very desirable, and no doubt, as
Judge Gary says, in commenting on
the case. business conditions will be
the legal atmosphere in which many
of the great industries OF the country
have been befogsed for some years.
The most important point in yes
terdays opinion is that mere bigness
does not constitute a violation of the
antitrust law. There never has been
shown a disposition on the part OF the
steel trust to stife competition. II Is
not in position to do so even II the
management did so desire. That it did
WELD a mighty influence in price fix
ing IS admitted. but the practice was
discontinued before the government
suit was brought. 1t is worthy of note
that reason and good sense rather
than mere legal technicalities predomi-
nate in the arguments Judge Buffing-
ton formulates to reach his con-
Clusions
