RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.

President Wilson's intimation that
he would sever all diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany in the event that
country will not agree to respect the
law of nations and the dictates of
common humanity, will meet the ap.
prevail of the overwhelming majority
Of the American people, the unhyphen-
ated sort. 1t would be both a wise
and humane act. The American
people desire no intercourse with a
government that is an outlaw, that
places itself beyond the pale of the
established laws Of the nations The
sinking of the Lusitania is nothing
but cold blooded and deliberate muir
der. 1t was shocking to every sense
Of right. 1t cannot be defended IN
less murder is to be approved.
In demanding redress and satisfac.
ton for this crime of the ages, the
President not alone represents out
ragged Americans but he speaks for
humanity. This country must de.
fend the rights of all neutrals, it must
be the refuge and the abiding place
of the law Of nations. We owe du-
ty to posterity that we cannot per-
form if we submit to Germany's in
depreciation Of the law of nations.
The severance Of diplomatic rela-
lions with Germany would not neces-
sarily mean war. In fact it would
probably not be followed by any open
war We could not do Germany any
particular harm by making war upon
her. The isolation which would be
her portion in the family of nations
as the result of our stopping inter-
course with her would be a much
more severe blow than any actual
warfare that we would be able to
wage upon the land or sea.

THE WATER PLANT.

Citizens of Columbia displayed good
judgment when they decided adverse
ay to the proposition to purchase the
water plant of the Columbia Water
n Light Company. There seemed to
be no good reason why the city Of Co
aumbia should be burdened with a
debt Of 1927, 900 for the purchase of
plant that according to the report Of
the city's own appraiser, has been
paying an average return of less than
four per cent on that sum. 1t would
not have been good business to say
the least 1t is very doubtful il, sep
arated from the operation of the light
plant, the water concern could be op-
Drated as cheaply as 1t has been in
The past. There is also always the
suspicion that industries and business
concerns are more cheaply operated
by private corporations than they
are when owned by the people and
operated through politicians.
However, it would be a mistake to
figure the cost of the appraisement as
% much money lost. That will prove
On the contrary, wise investment
The people have a better understand
ing of the situation than they had be-
fore the appraisal was made They
realize more than ever what it costs
60 build and maintain a water plant
and how doubtful large investment
In one would be. Unquestionably
the mass meeting which took action
upon this question, while a small one,
represented the sentiment of the
great majority Of the people. There
are large number who voted for the
original bond issue, who, now that
they have better understanding of
the situation, would be just as quick
fs vote on the other side. This is not
M opportune time for mourning addi-
Honal debts upon the part of the city

POLITICAL BEDFELLOWS.

Some newspapers are wondering
whether or not should Roosevelt be
the regular republican nominee for
President next year his relations
with Boss Barnes, of New York,
whose support he would need in or
der to get the electoral vote of the
empire state, would not once more
be as cordial as they were when Teddy
was governor and president. No mys-
terry about that. Mr. Roosevelt is a
most versatile gentleman. He can be
just as thick with the bosses as any
man in the country If it is to his In
terest to hob mob with that gentry.
When it suited the Terrible Teddy's
ambition he made fair weather with
Barnes and Penrose and Cox and all
the others of the clan. No doubt he
would take them all once more to his
bosom if thereby he could be assnr-
ed of another term in the White
House.
In these respects Mr.. Roosevelt
does not differ from other politicians
In Tennessee the friends of yesterday
are the enemies of today. The fierce
enemies of last year may be political
bedfellows tomorrow. Many of the
men who once swore by Senator Luke
Lea are now bitterly cussing the Sc
Nor senator and declaring that as be-
tween him and Patterson they will
support the latter. Although they
have repeatedly declared that under
no sort Of circumstances would they
ever, ever vote for Ham. Again there
are former members Of the Patterson
machine, once the implacable foes of
Senator Lea, who are now the foes of
the ex-governor and will be among
the most loyal supporters of Senator
Lea in his contest for reelection.
Even the junior senator from this
state and Ex-Governor Patterson are
said to be on friendly terms now al.
though the former probably did as
much as any one man in Tennessee to
keep Patterson out Of the United
States senate.
The fellow who is looking for con-
sistency in politics or among the pol
iticians is on mighty cold trail. The
vast majority of the politicians in this
state an elsewhere are willing to
make any alliances or take any one
to their bosoms if thereby their inter.
ests can be advanced. Permanent al.
liances or lasting enmities are the ex.
ception among politicians and proba-
bly, it is net altogether unfortunate
that this is the case.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

1t is insisted by the Chattanooga
News that much of the opposition to
the proposed extra session of the
legislature comes from selfish inter-
,ests and special interests which
fear the enactment Of legislation that
will make the situation in Tennessee
uncomfortable for them. Unques-
tionably the special interests prefer
the status quo, but we doubt if they
seriously fear any adverse legisla-
ton from the present legislature.
The Legislature, If called in extra
ordinary session, will be the same
body that has been saving the state,
principally playing politics, for the
past five months. 1t will have no
higher conception of its duty when
meeting in extra session than it had
when regularly convened. 1t was
pretty subservient to the interests"
during its regular session. 1t would
be equally so il again called to-
gether.
It may be true that these interests
would prefer no further legislative
session, but the real opposition comes
from those who have despaired Of
the present legislature. They have
no sort of hope Of any improvement.
They are convinced that the bunch"
which has been cavorting and holding
high carnival for the past five months
would not show any improvement.
The people could hope for nothing;
there would simply be another OPP
pgrtunity TO play politics of which
the Lord knows we have had quite a
suficiency.
There is absolutely no hope for
real and genuine tax reform from the
present Legislature. That body gave
no serious consideration to the able
and painstaking work of the tax COM
mission. It is doubtful il even all
the members Of the legislature have
read the report Of that body Of
patriotic men who pointed out how
improvements could be made. The
old back tax machine threw OBJ
@tacles in the way Of the passage OF
the bill in the regular session that
would doubtless prove just as effec.
tive in the special session. So far
o. we we're able to see there never
was any determined effort upon the
part Of the leaders to give the people
genuine tax reform. The repeal Of
the back tax laws was accomplished
only after a desperate fight. That is
MI Of the reform we are going to get.
An extra session would involve a
lot of additional expenses to an al
ready overburdened treasury and the
result would be exceedingly doubtful
1T would make a chance for further
trading and trafficking and bring ad-
-ditional reproach upon the state.
Above all things we need now per-
sod of political rest. We have had
these ten years too much politics.
Why not give the people, at least one
years rest?

INCUBAToRs AS SEED TESTERS

The ordinary incubator used in the
Matching of chickens has been found
to be the very best kind of an instru-
ment for use in testing seed for ger
mination. The state seed laboratory,
under w. L. Oswald, exhibited an in
cubator at work as a seed tester at
the Minnesota State Fair this year,
and it attracted much attention.
The advantages of the incubator as
a seed tester are numerous. The most
important of all is the fact that with
an incubator almost ideal conditions
can be maintained at any time in the
winter. With a small incubator there
fore, farmer may, in the winter
months, test practically all of his seed
and know just what he is going to put
into the ground in the spring. If he
has more than a sufficient supply of
seed for himself he is able to put upon
the neighborhood market seed of
known value.
1t has been suggested that in COM
munities where there are no incuba-
tors, farmers clubs might unite in
the purchase of an incubator to be
used largely for seed testing.
If more definite information is de-
sired, in any case a letter addressed
to w. L. Oswald, University farm, St.
Paul, will receive prompt attention.

Price of this city and Miss Elizabeth
Butcher, daughter of Mrs. Margaret

Lamothe, officiating. Miss Elizabeth
Kirk, of St.Paul, friend of the bride,

DIR. KIRGHIs GOES TO FRANCE

The Times was in error yesterday
in stating that DR.. A. J. Kirghis,
prominent physician and surgeon OF
this city, had been "called to the
colors" by France. Such a statement
came to US upon what we regarded
as good authority, and was printed in
good faith. The Doctor is naturalized
American citizen, and, therefore, by
American contention, not subject to
foreign call, although some of the
European nations, France among
them, do not concede this. DR.. Kirghis
is in receipt of cablegram informing
him of the very serious illness of his
father and sister, and asking his
presence. He will leave this evening
or tomorrow for Washington, to pro-
cure a passport, and will sail on Sat-
urday on the American steamship
Philadelphia, and expects to return
in the very new future. Mrs. Kirghis
will remain here for time or visit
relatives in adjoining states. The
Doctors many friends and patrons
will hope for his speedy return.-St.
Cloud Times.
