THE MAD DOG

The carteonist of The Chicago
Evening Post thinks he has done
something. But according to The
:Fool-Killer's way of seeing, he
has simply succeeded in making
a big display of his own ignor-
,ance.
These remarks have reference
to a certain cartoon that recently
appeared in the above named
paper. The picture is a rude
map of the world, showing Eu-
rope and America, with the ocean
in between. On the European
side stands a big fierce looking
beast which we are told is the
Mad-Dog of War. He is stretch
ing his vicious looking head out
toward America. On this side
stands a man who is sneeringly
labelled with the name of ''Paci-
fist," with his pockets full of
peace documents. He is talking
to the Mad-Dog of War, and
these words are put into his
mouth:
NASTY thing! You are a cruel,
unreasoning, unnecessary beast,
and I refuse to have anything to
do with you"
The man of peace is thus held
up to ridicule, while in the
background we see Uncle Sam
grabbing for his gun to shoot the
Mad-Dog of War.
To shoot what? }
why, to shoot the War, Of
course.
What does war consist of?
It consists of shooting.
Then the very minute that Un-
Gle Sam begins to shoot AT the
war, he becomes a part and par
Gel OF the war, does he not?
He certainly does.
Then, instead of defending
himself from the Mad-Dog of
War, he is simply Transforming
himself into a similar Mad-Dog
of War, thus making two mad
dogs where there was only one.
Amt that a fact?
It certainly is.
Are two mad-dogs more desir.
:able than one mad-dog?
They are not.
Then isn't Uncle Sam acting
the fool when he injects into his
rown veins the very same virus
that has run Europe mad?
It looks that way to me.
This particular mad-dog that il
~devouring Europe would not turr
aside to bother us if we would le
lit alone. It is our Internal med
ding and trying to tie tin cans tt
it's tail that is liable to get us int
trouble.
What do we Americans want
anyhow?
We claim that we want safet,

STEALING AMERICAN TRADE

GermanAmericans engaged in foreign business have a legitimate grievance against Britain Many such citizens some of them German in no respect but theh names have been put on the British blacklist, particu arly in the Far Eastern Their shipments of goods from China Siam and various other parts the orient are held up indefinitely.
 In part this discrimination appears be due to gen uine British fear and hatred of all things German. A British boycott on German goods and blacklist on German business men has been established in every quarter of the world The possession of German name enough in the eyes British authorities put even an American business man under suspicion They are determined that in no way shall Germany individual Germans derive any benefit from commerce which the British admiralty has power to control.
 all, it might be understood mere excess of war prejudice But the looks different when b is found in nearly every where cargoes have been held up the merchants for whom they des tined have received cables from British firms offernl similar or identical goods in the quantitesanC at higher prices
 That fact alone ground enough for challenging Brit
 sh sincerity. looks as if England more inter esed in strangling American trade and diyerung h t English firms than destroying the resources of he enehy.

Mir. Waiter Douglas Tells of Trip Made to Many Copper Camps
 in the State; Situation in Clifton Said to Be Unchanged.

DOUGLAS. Nov. 26.-"I have visit ed number of the important mining districts in the southern port of the state and at Tyrone, N. M. during the past week and am pleased to be abla to report that the mining industry is in excellent condition. l came here with Mir. Arthur James, of Phelps Dodge & Co.,, and T M Schumacher managing head of the El Paso & South western railroad, for an inspection of the points where our company is in' lterested. l did not go 10 MOrenci to visit the property of the Detroit Cop | per company because l did not believe that it would be safe for me to appear in that camp under the prevailing con diuons l visited Tyrone, our new camp in New Mexico and found every thing progressing well there and we expect to have the concentration ready ! for operation about January 1.

 Thus spoke Walter Douglas, gener- al manager of Phelps, Dodge & Go. who stopped here for a short time last might en route to New York where he lis now making his headquarters and where he expects to remain at least during the present winter. His father, Dr. Douglas, has been ill for long time and has not been able to go to his office for four months, though MT. Douglas says that he is now much bet
 ter and is regaining strength.
 Speaking of the strike conditions at Clifton. he said that he had learned
 of no new features regarding it re- Icenuy. He said that he saw the news litem about a committee of Clifton and IMorenci business men being named |, to call on the managers in El Paao iI i, an effort to bring the strike to an end
 but that he hardly expected that any

 The bank line has worked the proposition that plus g. equals A. while the bread line has worked on the theory that minus 2, equals Both mathe maticaly correct; but the minus proposition has more hurts in it than the plus. And the hurts last long time.
 The roll and the coffee Of the bread line are near nothing as a man can eat but the handbook in the hands of the bank line the best thing have It will never desert him. It will stick by him any kind of weather It will feed him. nurse him and pay his rent It win bury him. and the bread line does that
 Humanity divides itself into these two lines the bread ine going down hill and the bank line going up; the bread line whose future behind them and the bank line whose future is before It is to choose between them
