And on from thence to ispahan.
The gilded gardens of the sun.
whence the long dusty caravan
Brings cedar and vermilion:
And that dread city of Cabool.
Set at the mountains scarped feet
Whose marble tanks are ever fun
With water for the MONDAY heat
Where through the narrow. straight
A little maid Circassian

LATER promptly took heated excep-
ton to this ruling and his advertise
ments have not since appeared in
that paper. In fairness to Dairy and
Food Commissioner Helme, II should
be mentioned that II Was he who
called the attention OF The News to
the nature Of the advertisement ap-
pearing In It's columns.
In the case OF Tine Times II may
be said that that paper has never
printed the Later advertisements.
II our memory serves Us correctly.
The Times Is distinctly q pure-food
publication and has repeatedly taken
strong stand In favor Of measures
designed to prevent deceptive prac-
tees among food-dealers. IS well az
to promote measures designed TO
safeguard the public health.
The policy OF the Free Press and
the Journal In permitting Later &c
use their columns Is one that II hard
to understand. Both papers are well
aware OF the fact that the Later ad-
vertisements will not be accepted
by The News and The Times. and
are familiar with the reason sor the
refusal. Otis Morse. advertising
manager for the Free Press. acted az
witness for Later In the suit
brought against the latter by Com
missioner Helme.
One reason may be found In the
fact that one of the principal stock
holders In the Free Press. and the
largest stakeholder OF the Journal. l
z. d. Stair. This same gentleman 10
also a large stakeholder In the De
troit Creamery Co, and q member OF
It's board OF directors. The Detroit
creamery sells milk and ice-cream
as its principal products. The strong
est competitor of the Detroit Cream
cry Co. Is Towar's Wayne County
Creamery. next largest Of Detroit's
milk concerns and hav.
ing a daily output Of several thou.
sand pounds Of butter II Is. OF
course, mere conjecture to MERTON
that any connection exists between
the fact that Mr.. Stair permits the
LATER advertising to appear In his
two newspapers. while the most bit
ter warfare is being waged between
the Detroit Creamery Co. and the
Towar company in the market-milk
business. II Is probably a mere CO
incidence. yet the fact remains thr
every pound of cleo that Ia sold In
Detroit. stops the sale Of a pound o.
butter made by the Towar concern
and by other Michigan creamerie'
marketing their product in this city.

Conscience In Newspapers

these papers have some conscience
In dealing with their readers. The
Detroit News and the Detroit Times
have both refused TO print these ad
vertisements. The News printed the
advertisements about a year and
half ago. but when the Butter De
partment" section was called to the
attention OF the management Of that
paper. Mr.. Later was informed that
It must be omitted or changed so
that the readers OF The News would
stand in no danger of buying oleo

ed they were buying butter. Mr.

We are told that women cannot COM
plain that they are overlooked or their
needs forgotten these days." and that
nearly every state on the map consider
ed the welfare of women in its leg1sla-
tive enactments certainly does not indi-
cate indifference"
Also that fifty years ago an inquirer
might have scanned the legislative pro-
ceedings of nine-tenths Of the United
States without finding mention OF laws
or regulations looking to the welfare OF
women"
The editor who wrote this would have
ne believe that the heart Of man has
lowered into a belated bloom Of compass
sion. charity and, above all, justice and
that at last woman has nearly all that's
coming to her.
On the other hand, he admits that
mankind realizes that unless SHE Is
"contented and happy. those joys cannot
be his either"
But he fails to see the significance in
the admission that the last fifty years
have brought about this remarkable
change.
What happened in that time to so work
upon the heart of man We wonder!
II was about then that the first edu-
Gated American women began to make
their influence felt; the schools having
been barred to her until along in the
early eighties.
II was about then that the colleges,
with great reluctance, began to lift the
sex ban from the professions and co-edu-
cation had it's beginnings.
It was about then that the agitation
for suffrage began to make itself felt
and the wonderful women who were the
pioneers of that movement stood the fire
of ridicule and insult.
Since then woman has been gradually
but steadily gaining foothold In the
world.
She has proved her ability to be more
than a household drudge or the charmer
of his idle hours.
She has become, to q greater extent
than ever before, economically indie
pendent.
She has come into her own in IL states
and need no longer depend upon indirect
influence, but can directly show her de-
sires; 10000 of her can cast her bal
lot.
Have these things anything to do with
the change Of heart, previously referred
to, in men and legislatures which are
now so generously passing laws in her
behalf?

~ On. FRANK CRANE
(Copyright. 1915. By Frank Crans>

There is being carried on q systematic
agitation in this country against the sale
OF munitions Of war to European nations
by American manufacturers.
One educated crank has committed
suicide. after attempting murder and
bomb violence, to prove his devotion to
the cause.
Germans are reported to feel bitterly
toward America because American shells
are used by the allies.
German-Americans over here loudly
protest against the purchase of Ameri-
can arms by England, France, and Rus
STA. and Indignantly call upon our gov
eminent to prohibit it.
No efforts should be spared to make
these mistaken people see how twisted
is their logic and how unfair is their
protest.
Here is the point. Selling arms to
belligerents may or may not be right.
1t is open to dispute. German SYM
pathizers are within their rights when
they urge manufacturers not to engage
in this traffic. They may bring all the
moral suasion they please to bear upon
y
The unrestricted sale of arms here
happens to bear hard upon Germany,
for the simple reason that Germany can
not get to us. Her ships are bottled up
by the enemy.
Personally do not believe in the max
ing and selling of war material at all.
Many people agree with me. Various
firms in the United States have refused
TO accept profits from the nefarious bus
mess.
These private opinions we are justi-
fed in advancing. and we may properly
use all energy in trying to convert others
to our convictions.
But we have no right to advocate that
our national government take a step
that would be clear act of hostility to
one of the European contestants.
Germany has been for years carefully
accommodating ammunition for this crisis.
She was ready. She is using her i'm
mense stores. The allies, on the contrary,
were not ready. They are now bending
all their energies to get ready.
To properly prepare themselves the al
lies must purchase supplies where they
can. For us to prohibit this in our case
would be for us to deprive England and
France of all the advantage they have
gained by shutting up the German feet.
The United States has remained splen-
didly neutral in a very embarrassing
situation.
While we have individually expressed
our sympathies, we have as yet done
no one-sided act officially.
The administration has carefully OBJ
served every punctilio Of international
law 1t has firmly. but courteously and
particularly, protested against the viola
ton by the belligerents of the rights of
neutral nations.
Let the German sympathizers, there
fore, be as busy as they like in inducing
American manufacturers to cease from
selling arms. but let them have the grace
to cease from the unreasonable and un-
just attempt to embroil our government
in the unwarranted net of violating the
spirit of international law by putting an
embargo upon the expectation Of arms,
an act which would be an open deed of
hostility to one of the parties concerned.

PRISONERS FEAR
INSANE SUSPECT

MONTESANO, April 26.--The pris-
oners in the same tier of cells with
William Johnson, being held for OF.
servation as to sanity, begged the
sheriff Saturday, to have them adjudg-
ed insane, If Johnson was sane. He
howled and chartered and paraded his
cell all the night, they say
With some ink he borrowed from
prisoner, he drew what he calls
chart of the world on the wall of
his cell, showing many rocks and
islands that he says no one knows
Of but himself. In the morning he
flooded his cell by means of the lava
tory, with about two inches of water
and when the round of cells was made
he was standing at the grated door
squirting through spool and chatter
ing like magp'e. He said he was
making a cruise of the world and
the spool was his sextant.
Judge Ben Sheeks. who examined
the man, thinks he is simply trying
to play trick on the other prisoners
because he knows they think he Is
crazy. The man will probably be
moved to another cell.
