world. German officials talk Of a

sleepless purpose to prepare for a
great war throughout a generation
and the events OF the past year show
that the lust of conquest merely
slumbered and only needs power in

A BlLLlON-BUSHEL YEAR.

The latest reports from the depart
ment of agriculture promise an even
vaster food crop than previously pre-
dicted, although the earlier esti-
mates indicated an almost unprece-
denied yield. This is the more graft
flying in view of late reports of seri-
Gus damage from continuing rains in
some of the great agricultural dis
tricts.
On June / the wheat crop was esti-
mated at a little under 950,000,00O
bushels and on July at 500, 100000
bushels. The estimate on August /
rose to 966,OOO,OOO bushels. We now
have promise not only of almost a
billion bushels of wheat, but of near
ly three billion bushels of corn, a
mighty crop, greater by 250,00O,000
bushels than the corn yield of last
year. Although the acreage of corn
planted this year is greater than ever
| before, the promised yield is not quite
up to that of the record year of 1912
the cool, damp weather of the past
month throughout large areas having
proved injurious. 1t is still hoped,
! however, that with a late fall a new
record for this staple may yet be
established this year.
The outlook for the oat crop also
has improved since July / and it is
believed that, with favorable condi
tons, even the great record crop oil
1912 will be exceeded. The present
promise is nearly a billion and hall
bushels, more than a quarter Of bill
lion bushels greater than the crop o
last year and but 100000 below the
highest record. Potatoes promise
431, 900, 900 bushels, 25,O0O,O0O bush
els more than last year, and 1000,
900 more than the yield in the great
record year Of 1912
A heavy crop is reported from
some of the wheat producing sec
tons of Europe, but food production
in that part of the world this yeal
will be necessarily reduced and the
demand for American food products
cannot fail to be unprecedented
This demand may lead to an unwel
come increase in prices at home, bu

ENGLAND'S PLIGHT.

Like Americans, the British people
are averse to militarism. Taxed to
the limit to support the greatest
navy in the world they have felt that
such sacrifice ought to be sufficient.
Thus it is with bewildering surprise
and extreme distaste that they are
awakening to the fact that, in spite
Of their costly and efficient navy, the
fate of the empire hangs in the bal
ance and, after all, they must devel-
op the military spirit with no loss
of time.
Even now they hesitate, hoping that
without this supreme sacrifice some,
how, through chance. half-elfort and
blunder, they will achieve success as
they have so often in the past. In
consequence, their government sees
compulsory military service is imper
alive and the London newspapers
are openly declaring that without
CONSUMPTION the war will be lost 1t
is even reported that English women
are pleading with their men to enlist
! and this is seeming indication that
If the government accepted the offer
of service from suffragette circles
the women would prove to be less
backward than the men. 1t would be
a mistake to conclude that England
is decadent and that great nation
has long since seen its best days, but
it is quite plain tlat the British peo-
pie are staggered as they face a
wholly unexpected situation. AS a
matter of fact, not for generations
have they been a truly military ma
ton except on the sea- and they have
been left far behind by the Germans,

cEoRGlA's DISGRACE.

Incidents such as occurred yester-
day in Georgia and not many weeks
ago in Texas, when a negro was
burned to death before a bowling
mob, indict the whole nation. AS
long as Lynch law prevails what
right has this country to boast of
civilization superior to Hayti or San
to Domingo?
Spurning the law has become too
frequent south OF the Mason and Dix
on line. Lynching is peculiarly Am
erican. 1t is not practiced in any
other civilized nation of the world.
OCCASIONALLY we vary the procedure
by toasting the victim to death. This
seems to give an elixir of Joy and
satiate vengeance better than stran-
gulation.
Within the last quarter of cen
fury there have been more than 5000
lynchings. In 1914 they averaged
about three month, or nearly one a
week. .u-
Leo NJ. Frank is not the first white
man to get what is usually termed a
black mans justice. Generally be-
lieved innocent, he has been the VIC
tim Of mob violence ever since his
arrest. Atlanta demanded that some
retribution be made for the death Of
Mary Phagan. The press dashed the
fury of the mob into hysteria. Frank
was doomed the day upon which he
was arrested. He was tried and con-
demned ere word of testimony had
been given in court.
The mob usually gets what it goes
after, especially in the South. That
it could pierce the penitentiary walls
with a handful of armed men sug.
gests that those sworn to protect the
life of Frank were for the moment
carried off their feet by the mob spir
it. There may have been collision
Frank has also been the victim oil
collision. He is one of the few white
men convicted in the South by com
bination of white men and negroes
Connivance usually strengthens the
arm of Lynch law. Doubtless it was
not absent on this memorable occa
zion.
Terrible as the act is, it is not tina
alone That shocks the nation. Mol
rule strikes at the very bulwarks O.
organized government. It carries u:
back to the days of the cave man
when might was right. Every lynch
ing stultifies the nation. No man il
secure when respect for law has van
ished. The mob ignores law and ex
ats the vicious dictates of its owl
passion.
Georgia should spare no energy il
apprehe the guilty ones VIII.
have, in attempting to avenge TIL
4 death of Mary Phagan, added anoth
er heinous crime to the annals o
the state. The honor of that stat
has been sullied by her citizens.
The slasaing of Franks throat b.
one Of his fellow prisoners was stuff
cient warning to the prison authori
ties that lynching might follow
That proper precaution was not tax

evident.
Unless Georgia runs to cover tn
Y murderers of Frank, the blot will al
ways remain on her escutcheon.

In the beginning mans horse was

Woman was not slow to sieze the
advantage thus offered, and from that
