good equipment of factories for the production of dyestuffs, and another industry will have born. If our tar if makers have the sense to protect it as they used to protect infants of the sort, the revival of German industry and import will not dislodge it. And if we get the production of American potash likewise started and likewise protected, it will take care of the greater part of our demand.
 We have no need to gloat over these results. But can we not regard it as a legitimate compensation for some of the evils of the war if we get even two important industries started where none grew before? For that result necessity and our ingenuity will be alone responsible. Let us make the most of them.

The Hyphen at the Polls.
{ (Ansonia Sentinel.)

It is a pity that it is not possible for the advocates of hyphenated Americanism to unite upon a candi- date of their own and bring him and this issue squarely to a test at the ballot box. In Massachusetts there is to be a qualification of the German vote for the purpose of applying it en mass to the advancement of can- didate who most nearly represents their Teutonic ideals. But unfortun- ately in Massachusetts there is no candidate, who is in any sort Of agreement with them. Gov. Walsh stands by President Wilson and Amer icanism first last and all of the time So does Candidate Mccall in no less degree. For either man it would be process of speedy suicide politically to come out in the open as the eX- ponent of the doctrine of hyphenat1on The Teutonic contingent cannot favor either of the leading candidates in Massa chusetts and be true to thelr allegiance to the kaiser. They should have the courage of their convictions and nominate Count Won Bernstor1f as viceroy, for the Bay State, a prin- clpal1ty of the empire of Germany. Then they could gain an idea of eX-
 
 divided allegiance is in this state or the United States and also secure an approximate glimpse of what would happen to a national German party if 1t went to the polls with the Amer ican part of it's hyphenated loyalty erased.
 The real Americans, whether they De Of English, French, German or SlaV descent, ask nothing better than to meet these half-false citizens of the republic in the open and bury them once for all under an avalanche of ballots. There is no room for party devoted to the interests of a foreign nation here in the United States. They will have to learn this lesson some time and the present is as good a time as any for imparting to them the first principles of the theory that a divided allegiance is but another name for a faltering trea- son.

Market Basket Coming Back.

 Fireside.)

(Mrs. E. Rninehart in Farm and
 Fireside.)
 "The telephone and delivery have for some years played a big part in the city housewifes life. But the old market basket is coming back"
 This part of the article tells how to make the market money buy more:
 T speak for a lot of city costumers when I say that by doing our own se- Iecting in the stores and markets we can buy far more intelligently and satisfactorily than by using the tele- phone.
 By marketing in person we can soon know when the produce arrives in market. and can judge its quality. There are different stores and stalls where the managers specialize in cer- tain things which are superior to the same things secured elsewhere.
 "There are frequently special oppor tunities when merchants are over stocked with some particular kinds of produce.
 Different grocers have told me that the cost of delivering each order is from eight to ten cents.
 "The market basket plan of buying is the cash plan as rule, and the cash buyer gets many a discount over the telephone, month bills system of buying.
 Another material advantage I find is in buying in large lots. Different grocers have said to me, I would rather give you discount for large orders than be rushed to death with little dribs to put up and deliver Ever since I have kept house I have bought in hundred-pound lots such articles as soap, sugar, flour, salt, lard in fif-

The Big Loan for Home Use.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Philadelphia Public Ledger)
 Those half-hundred names of Phila- delphia banks and banking firms at tached to the Anglo-French half billion loan index the wide impulse largest foreign loan ever floated in any country at one time. Barring one Civil war issue, it is the largest ever made in this country of any character. The syndicate behind the loan is not only the largest but by far the most pow erful which has ever underwritten bond issue in the world And the stand alone in being a direct obliga- tion of two great nations combined. They are the first ever issued in the currency of the lending instead of the borrowing nation.
 These are dollar bonds which France and England are selling in America. This transaction for the first time in history exalts the dollar mark above the pound sterling in in- ternational finance. This one issue equals all the other foreign bonds sold in the United States at variuos times Another odd feature of this bond sale IS that every penny of the loan will remain in the hands of the lenders instead Of going into the pockets of the borrowers. It is American money in American currency, and will pay for American commodities and Amer ican wages.

gullible minds at the South were in- fiated, corresponds ot the Germanic claim of "superman."
 In each case war began in a fury of uncalculating passion. Blind hysteria possessed the southern people. The immense disparity between the re- sources of the South and the resources of the North was unconsidered. That ''the South was bound to win was the universal belief. Cotton was king. Europe would be forced to intervene
 In like manner Germany set out to rush Belgium and reduce Paris-Eng- lands hands tied in Ireland-and then, having overrun France and overcome the French-to turn her re- sistless arms upon Russia. It made pretty enough showing on paper. But, as we have seen, "the best-laid schemes O mice and men gang aft agley." England's hands were not tied by Ireland. Belgium resisted long enough for England to get there. The failure before Paris marked failure upon the whole theory in which the general staff in Berlin had so con fidently laid it's plan of campaign.
 The South was not prepared for war as Germany-it had no such fighting machine-but it was better prepared than the North, and winning the first victories, was able, in spite of the dis parity of forces and resources to pro- long the struggle four years
 AS late as 1864 a national conven- tion, nominating Gen. Mcclellan for president, declared the war a fail ure.' Throughout the succeeding pres ldential campaign, MT. Lincoln was often in sore distress of mind. Yet I@+
 and Gen. Johnston knew that the con- federacy had but a short time to live, while among the better advised 1 southern men it had begun to be whis- pered "the bottom must soon drop out | of the tub" And, sure enough, after an example of prowess, endurance and l skill, never surpassed, in the early | days of 1865, the starved and ragged fabric of the confederacy fell in a l heap, a helpless mass. You didn't ! whoop us," said an old Confederate soldier, holding on to the hand of Gen. | Fred Grant, affectionately, on the oc- | casion of the dedication of the statue | to Gen. stephen D. Lee in the Ma tional cemetery at Vicksburg, You l didn't whoop us, Fred-you jess wore

The Curse of Candy.
Bridgeport Standard.O


 The observant person who studies conditions and works effects back to causes has decided that the cutting off of alcohol in the dry states has re- suited in a great increase in the con sumption of candy, and in Milwaukee a brewer is going to turn his plant into a big candy manufactory. To be sure we shall have an army of anti candy eaters, just as soon as other issues fail who will argue all sorts of demoralization into the consump- tion of candy and lay at its door all the ills that pleague humanity from cancer to corns
 The man who spends the money for candy that should go to buy high heeled shoes for his wife and daugh- ters will be held up as the fit com panion for the man who. in the good old days of booze, was accustomed to come home with the odor of beer upon his breath and with at least 10 cents missing from his weekly wages. If it isn't one thing it will be another and what on earth should we all do or be, if all the issues were settled"
 It is a we'll known physiological fact that the system requires certain amount of alcohol. Ordinarily this is produced by the system and those familiar with chemistry declare that sugar is an alcohol readily absorbed by the system and utilized to greater advantage than the distilled product. The fact that so many men who stop drinking turn to candy is not, as many suppose, substituting one habit for another, but satisfying a craving that has been fostered by liquor
 What is more natural than that the distiller. when driven from the man ufacture of drink should turn tc | candy?

This War and Ours.
Louisville Courier-Journa1

NLouISNllle COurler-J Ournal.)
 There are some striking similitudes between the war of the kaisers in Europe and the war of secession in America.
 Except Tn the gulf states there was Ill 1901 no strong secession sentiment The gull states drew the border states alter them An overwhelming ma Jorlty or the soldiers who later fought III the Confederate armies clung to the Union until the fall of Sumter and the call for troops from Washington made a decisive line of cleavage between the sections. Then it was, and only then, war actual and the debate ended, that they went with their own section. Here we have a contrast, rather than a parallel, for in Germany the people had nothing to do with it. War was upon them before they knew it.
 The extremists of the South clam ored for "our rights in the territories" The theorizers of Germany clamored for "a place in the sun." In each in- stance it was as the cry of a child for the moon.
 There was no territorial right" from which the South was excluded, carrying any practical value. Slavery was already doomed. It could not go, or be taken, where it was not wanted, or where the physical and climatic conditions were hostile. The institution was effete and dying. The trend of modern thought all over the world was set against it. But had it been otherwise war inaugurated by the gulf states in it's defense was bound to end with it's destruction, no matter which side might win.
 Now for the parallel. There was no "place in the sun" from which Ger many was excluded Her ships laden with her wares and products sailed every sea in freedom and security. She was meeting and beating her com mercial rivals in many markets. Made in Germnay" had become a taking trademark. What had Ger many to get by going to war? As lit tie as the southern states of America "A place in the sum-" like "our rights in the territories" was wholly illusory and misleading.

SpOngerS on the Newspapers.
(New York Herald. )


 It is astonishing how widespread the belief is that the daily newspaper IS printed to be given away. The mail Of every newspaper is filled with re- quests to be put on the free list These come from schools of journalism, ex- h1b1t1ons business organizations, clubs, and most of the organizations are being conducted for the purpose of making money. It never occurs to these "spongers'' that the newspaper Is a business enterprise.
 The latest example is from the state of North Carolina, which through it's historical commission, a legislative reference department is soliciting free copies of the daily newspapers of the country because 'the appropriation made by the general assembly is very small and it is impossible to subscribe for such newspapers as are needed"

When We Wake Up.
(New Haven Register.)

We. are not yet wearing white or drab colors just because we can't get German dyes. There is no apparent prospect that we shall be. Nor is our land to starve for lack of German potash. There is plenty of potash on our own premises now that we have taken the trouble to hunt for it. And American ingenuity is perfectly cap able of producing all the chief dye stuffs immediately required.
 Now why did we require the neces- sity of war to make us find out these facts? Isn't it because we have been travelling along the lines of least re- sistance? We got our dyestuffs from Germany. We got them cheaply, and we got good dyes Let we'll enough alone, said the manufacturers. We won't try any experiments. But neces- sity made them sing another tune. They must have dyestuffs They have them.
 So we have walked up, or soon shall. Another year, and we shall have a

ANOTHER SECRETARY AND THE
PRESIDENT.

Men in public life have a peculiar ity,-if such it can be called.-of all ways retracting their statements when such utterances prove to be embar- rassing to them. And, if it so hap pens that the particular axioms, or platitudes, or whatever they might be called, are printed in the public press, the easiest and most effective way of the reporter or correspondent with the short and ugly. Always on the head of the newspaper man must fall the malediction of the man in public of- flee. We have an instance of this in the letter published today by Secre- tary of Commerce Redfield. When cated whiskers saw that he was slip ping from the good graces of the White House because some of his statements to the press had conveyed the impression that President Wilson had approved his plan for punishing business men who buy foreign goods below the market price, the Secretary of Commerce did the natural thing he called the Washington correspond ent of "The Brooklyn Eagle," a pre-
 varioator. Not in so many words did the Secretary of Commerce brand the Washington correspondent, but he put the matter in such a way as to leave no other choice. Yet withal, there is too much evidence in this case and the attitude of the wounded Secre- tary is very likely to act as a boom erang. He is going to get a dose of his own medicine. Had he not published an article in a New York paper under his own name he might easily have gotten away with his bluff" But this time the Secretary is nailed to the mast. He has given utterance to sentiments which the Wilson administration does not and will not condone. Having found out the views which he held are not exactly in line with the Presidents idea of economies, the Secretary of Commerce has undertaken to repudi- ate his former stand It is too late. The Secretary has written his own death warrant. It would not be sur- prising to see MT. Redfield go the way of MT. Bryan. If God-Bless- Yous are now in order the sooner President Wilson gets rid of some of the millstones they tied around his neck three years ago the better will it be at the start of a new campaign. Considering the terrible handicap under which he has labored, work ing in harness with few men like Redfield who are ever running off on & tangent, President Wilson has ac- complished things other men would never attempt. This is the wedding
 season and President Wilson could
