The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1915-08-20

From the side of the road by Del
Mars car the bearded motorcyclist had
Just emerged, buttoning the chauf-
feur's clothes and adjusting his Cog
giles to his own face.
AS he approached the car, he heard
shout. Quickly he tore off the black
beard which had been his disguise and
tossed it into the grass. Then he drew
the coat high up about his neck.
"All right" he shouted back, start
ing along the road.
Together he and Del Mar managed
to scramble up the embankment to the
road and, one at each handle of the
trunk, they carried it back to the car,
piling it in the back.
The improvised chauffeur started to
take his place at the wheel and Del
Mar had his foot on the running board
to get beside him, when the now un-
bearded stranger suddenly swung
about and struck Del Mar full in the
face. 1t sent him reeling back into
the dust.
The engine of the car had been run
ming and before Del Mar could recover
consciousness the stranger had shot
the car ahead, leaving Del Mar prone
in the roadway.
The train, with Bailey on it, had not
gained much speed, yet it was a peril
Gus undertaking to leap. Still, it was
more so now to remain. The baggage
man stirred. 1t was now a case Of
murder or a getaway.
Bailey jumped.
Scratched and bruised and shaken,
he scrambled to his feet in the briers
along the track. He staggered up the
road, pulled himself together, then
hurried back as fast as his barked
shins would let him.
He came to the spot which he recog-
nized as that where he had thrown off
the trunk. He saw the tramped and
broken bushes and made for the road.
He had not gone far when he saw,
far down, Del Mar suddenly attacked
and thrown down, apparently by his
ONh NuduhCu4' DoAlSy LON lOl W ol W.
but it was too late. The car was gone
AS he came up to Del Mar lying out
stretched in the road, Del Mar was
just recovering consciousness.
What was the matter?" he asked.
WAS he traitor?"
He caught sight of the real chauf-
feur on the ground, stripped.
Del Mar was furious NO." he |
swore, "it was that confounded gray
friar again, l think And he has the
trunk, tool"
Speeding up the road the former
and motorcyclist stopped |
at last.
Eagerly he leaped out of Del Mars
car and dragged the trunk over the
side regardless of the enamel.
1t was the work of only a moment !
for him to break the lock with a
pocket jimmy.
One after another he pulled out and
shook the clothes until frocks and
gowns and lingerie lay strewn all
about
But there was not a thing in the
trunk that even remotely resembled
the torpedo model.
The stranger scowled.
Where was it?

New York and Ohio returned to the

New York and Ohio returned to the
republican party last November.
Mr.. Root tries to persuade himself
that at seventy he is an old man
But the people of his state differ
with him. They have elected him
member of the constitutional con-
vention soon to assemble, and his
party friends, who will control the
body, have selected him to preside,
He simply goes, therefore, from one
field of activity to another. and will
be engaged in the new field for the
greater part of this year. Later. we
may see him in national harness
again, for it is not conceivable that
should his party win next years
race it will fail to avail itself of such
eminent talents for some highly inn
portant post.
Mr.. Burton, too, may come back.
At sixty-four he is in the meridian
of his powers, and the country needs
just. such men in public ofice-stu-
dious, informed, capable and incor-
ruptible. For more than score of
wears he has been a conspicuous and
industrious national legislator, and is
as well qualified for national affairs
as any man in the country.
For six years these men as SEN
ators have had to do with many I'M
portant questions and witnessed
many important decisions. They
have seen their party divide and go
to defeat, and the democracy as a
minority party take full charge. In
the past two years they have seen
the Senate save the country from
several 'half-baked measures, by inn
proving them and otherwise line up
to a reputation for safety and use
fulness. In fact, they are leaving the
Senate at time when the country's
confidence in it is high and strong.

The Virtual Blockade.

In respect to the latest action by
England in the matter of shipments
to and from Germany the United
States naturally has the greatest in
terest, as a neutral power heavily
engaged in trade. The response OF
this government to this announce
n1ent Of what is virtually though not
specifically blockade will be
awaited with keenest interest.
In one respect the situation would
be much simplifed if Great Britain
and France jointly announced an ac-
tual blockade of Germany, for then
all shipping would be on definite
warning and the chances of misun-
Outstanding and war menacing conf
plications would be lessened. This
government could not complain OF a
formal and effective blockade of
Germany, in view OF its own main
.enance OF blockades in the civil and
Spanish wars.
The English action. however. is
not in the nature of an avowed
blockade. 1t takes the form of a
reprisal against the German force in
declaring the waters around the
British Isles war zone, and en-
deavoring to make that declaration
effective by means of submarines.
Thus one action by belligerent
leads to another by the hostile power
in a process of what has already
been termed competitive barbarism
in which neutrals are the heaviest
sufferers through loss of trade and
danger to innocent lives.
The established international rules
have been set aside by new condi-
tons which accompany the present
war in Europe. The question OF
paramount Importance at this time is
whether the United States as neu-
trail power must suffer through the
successive notifications of long es-
tablished world laws in the desperate
efforts OF these warning nations to
inflict upon each other the utmost
injury possible through the employ
nent of their naval forces.

The Democracy and Next Year.

Writing from Cuba-a long, long
way from Tipperary-Mr. Watterson
makes this observation:
IF in IoI6 the country has taken
advantage OF its opportunities and
has adjusted itself to the changes
wrought both in foreign and domes-
tic commerce by the European war.
the land will flow. as it were, with
wine. milk and honey, and the demo-
cratic calling and election under the
Wilson leadership will be sure. The
republicans are all at sea. They have
no man in sight. But in the event
that the money, which fear has
driven in hiding, remains in hiding
because OF continued agitation and
interchangeable state of unemploy-
ment next winter what it is this win
ter-any old party-any old leader
can drive US from power.
In other words, if times are good
in the United States next year, the
democratic party will take, and be
accorded, credit; ii bad, il will have
to bear the blame and take punish
ment. 1t is one of the humorous fea-
lures of our political philosophy, that
the party in power is responsible for
both the crops and the weather.
The next eighteen months are in
the lap of the gods. Speculation
about what they are likely to pro-
duce is at the greatest risk. Every
thing, both at home and abroad, is at
skies and sevens. We are striving
and hoping to keep out OF the war,
and hoping also that "the mighty
scourge OF war may soon pass
away.
But the war is fact, and has al
ready wrought much havoc, both in
the wide field of its operations and
elsewhere. We are feeling the eff
fects, and may feel them more.
Business is completely upset, and
some branches are temporarily par
alyzed. Crops and the weather, Or
dinarily so potent, are not now the
whole proposition.
MIR. Watterson points out that this
country must adjust itself to the
changes wrought by the war. There
is the rub. That describes the mag
nitude of the task the democracy has
in hand. 1t is in full control of the
government, and will be responsible
for the adjustments required between
now and next national polling day.
The important legislation placed
on the books by this Congress was
prepared for peace conditions. The
Underwood tariff was laid without
a thought of war, and, of course,
without provision for any such con-
tingency. And the same is true OF
the currency law and the new trust
| enactments. Latest come the fed
eral trade law and the commits sion
to execute it.
What changes has the war inn
posed? Business has been affected
at every point, more or less. Ex-
ports are large in few lines, but
suspended in others. Imports have
| been SO much reduced, the govern
| ment's revenues are running heavily
behind. investments are halted. A
feverish anxiety everywhere prevails
Adjustments to meet this situation
will be as difficult as they are inn
perative; and the new Congress, soon
or late, must at least attempt some
! OF them
