ABsoLUTIsM AND SOCIALISM

Senator Beveridge and others profess to see in German efficiency in war example that will lead toward Socialism In fact they have called 1t social ism. But it isn't It is no nearer Socialism nor greater argument for 1t than the trust development here and abroad. Standard On and Krupp's ammuni' ton factories present conditions nearly like social ism as Germany presents them, and they are as far away from the central idea Of real Socialists as are the opposite sides of the earth.
 Rather are German efficiency and trust (American or German or Russian or any other) efficiency the re- suit of absolutsm It has always been doctrine oI poitcal economy that the absolute monarchy has the most efficient government fl it wise monarch at its head That Is the condition that finds in Ger many in war times and that is the condition of the trusts. Socialism. f 1t means anything means con- trol of governmental and industrial activities by the people. There is no such control in Germany or any of the trusts They are governed by single directing head The people Of Germany or the employees or he trusts do not decide what to do but they are told bv all the allpoweriul monarch. German efficiency has been simply the extension of absolutsm from gov ernment to industry and all activities of the people Germans are getting readymade government and ready made economies and 1t largely for the mar veous efficiency the country has shown in warfare The fn force of the Nation is being thrown into the con test The Empire is a single working machine in all of its parts with single power at the helm
 The organization of industry is only part of so' cialism Socialism without democracy would be sham and a moekery And democracy means the distribution of power. and with it, of course slowing down in the general coordination
 On the other hand democracy-the sovereignty of the massess-develops individuals The responsi' bnity of citizenship where the citizen Is the governor is greater than in those countries where the citizen is a subiect-and responsibility is great developer

BRyANs PRESENT ROLE.
Seattle Post.InteIligencerl


 William Jennings Bryan erred in leaving the Cabi net in crisis and the press of the country practically with one voice qualifedy unsparngy. criticised his course Wilson day" demonstrations have since ndi recy emphasized popular criticism ard added to the rebuke But the crisis not acute 1t appeared to be and the resignation proved of only momenary inn portance.
 It has made no burning issue and already is all but a forgotten incident save in it's bearing upon Mir. Bry- ans political and it's effect his future That he will put himself. permit himself to be put, in role of antagonsm to the administration and seek to discredit and undermine it, is not to be believed.
 He is>an evangeist-not marplot- He is enlisted for peace and universal uplift-not for partisan war fare campaign for the presidency the prohibition issue is not for him-n 1916. The time will not then be come He himself hath said it. His peace propaganda is not issue-making or candidatemaldng. The country Is at no oggerheads touching peace It is for peace and proposes to keep the peace. It stands for honorable peace-sands for unitedly Patitudnous talk about turning swords into ploughshares will not alter in the the countrys policy of keeping itself prepared It must keep itself prepared
 But if. in role of pacis William Jennings Bryan reaching the ear of the multitude keep down jim goism help hold in check the spirit of belger ency which too often manifests itself n the nations affairs he will render this peaceoving country an en- during service and minimize the dangers incident to troubled warmad world the waters Therefore let his motives be unimpugned. Speed him on his peaceful way.

BRYANs DECLARATION

The declaration of Mir Bryan that he will not be
 candidate for President or any other political office will silence great many critics who thought that he resigned from the Cabinet to fight the administration and-nayhap-to become candidate for President Even before the announcement people were becoming to understand him better While most of them have continued to eensure him for leaving the Cabinet dur ing crisis they were being forced to admit that he has been potent in Quelling rising warlike spirit among the people He has helped put the jingosts on the rn And after a that is probably what influenced him most in leaving the Cabinet He recognized that he could do more for peace out of the Cabinet than in it.
 Mr. Bryan's statement that he is not candidate and will not be one for the Presidency is no surprise to those who have followed his earnestly Nor should the statement made by 80 Sweeney at Seattle that he is working in harmony with President Wilson cause astonishment As the Seattle Postnaeliseneer says Mr. Bryan is no marplot he is an evangelist and his field is to educate the masses of the people While he proved valued asset the administration on ac- count of his personal acquaintance and friendships among the leaders in the Senate and House of Repre- sentarives at time when few of them knew the Pres dent the need for him the capacity an assistant to the President in securing the passage of admins raon measures is not great now because the Pres dent is no longer unknown by the leaders of Congress-
 If Mir. Bryan can keep the iingoists silent or at least deprive them of following he is doing his coun try great service and one in which we may all wish him more power.

INTENSE TIMES PRODUCE cRANKs

The acts and plans Of the man who shot J. P Nor gan to show him to have been mentally unbalanced Before the war his mind was probably defective The strain of the war upset him and he conceived the idea that because of J. P Morgan's power in the financial world Mr. Morgan could induce manufacturers to stop the sale of arms and munitions for export This same fellow set an explosive in senate wing of the nation al capital
 Alarming of themselves. these acts are the more alarming because they suggest that the awful conflict in Europe has been strain on the minds of thousands and thousands of people the United States and oh- CT neutral countries. Thinking has become intense and often preiudieed.
 A few days ago Irishman Scotchman and a German near Seattle became angry while discussing the war and one of them killed another with axe.
 Few of us, indeed. escape certain lack of careful thinking and cool judgment Many become bitter in the discussion of the and questions arising out o it. They talk as if right is all one side and wrong on the other and they become angry with their own fellow Americans who disagree with them.
 From the first there has been need of restrained consideration Of all war questions. Of course Ameri cans are expected to read about the and to have opinions. But in expressing opinions bitter words should not be employed what profit our coun try if citizens engage heated altercation over the rec titude or lack of recttude in the positions of the bels erents.?

TWO MEETINGS
One Is Success, Other
Is a Regular
Fizzle

Mayor Oscar B. Marx covered two
meetings, Wednesday night, In his
campaign In support of the street
car purchase plan. Both were In the
Polish district, out Chene-st. An
impar:la: observer would ray that
one meeting was fair success. and
the other bowling failure.
In Dem Polski. Chene-st. and For.
est-ave., the mayor addressed about
700 men and few women. He was
we'll received and was stopped by
hand-clapping twice during his
speech. In the next stopping place,
Aurora hall. Chene-st and Ferry.
ave-, the mayor found only scatter.
ing Of voters. Many of the seats
were empty. There were not more
than GO people In the hall. There
might have been more just in front
OF 1t, where the bar Is located.
Altogether, II was a distouraging
meeting. Two members of the audi.
ence were most deplorably drunk.
They shrieked in fiendish glee when
the mayor said something he intend
ed to be serious. At other times
they INDUCED In hand-clapping
carnival. both OF them coming out
with high honors. The mayor final
ly became angered and shouted:
"Oh, know some us think they
know II all, but would bank on the
