effects of the war, upon human brother
hood, social welfare, and the extension
of the Christian religion. Is there any
thing which can be said offsetung these
tremendous losses? Fortunately there
are some compensatory gains, among
which the following may be named:
"a Beyond all human expectation the
cause of temperance and prohibition has
been promoted. During recent years an
important change has been taking place
in the complexion of the temperance
Movement. The moral and sentimental
reasons which previously were urged LOT
total abstinence and prohibition have
been effectively reinforced by social,
economic and industrial considerations
BEGINNING with 1890 the railroads, first
the Reading, and then the Baltimore q
Ohio refused to employ men addicted to
the use of intoxicating liquors. other rail-
roads followed this example, and most
of the great industries have similar
rules; but all at once the Russian En-
pire. by a single stroke of the Cars pen,
prohibited vodka, its sale and its USE
throughout that great empire Ihls acl
bcost the Russian government an annuai
loss of $500 000, 900 revenue; but It is al
legged that the savings to the people and
the increased efficiency resulting from
abstinence more than pay this loss and
the cost Of war. France has undertake
en- to suppress the manufacture OF ap-
sinthe: England has been diverted from
the adoption of National Prohibition only
by the House of Lords whose brewery
investments were threatened; and the
net result of the agitation in Great Brit
ian is the curtailment of the hours and
places of sale. fortified by an earnest
appeal from the King and others to
all Britians to abstain from the use
of intoxicants. Even Germany prl-
marily to conserve her supply OF gram
has officially reduced the brewing OF beer
nearly 50 per cent. 1t is recognized that
strong drink is the deadliest foe to
military campaign. AS never before, the
present war has made clear-cut this as
an international conviction.
f2l | believe the real issue now al
stake is the enfranchisement OF the peo-
pie: and that the spirit OF democracy
will be victorious. There are strange
combinations. What we call despotlc
Russia Is in alliance with constitutional,
liberty-loving England. and with Repuo-
Ican France, while Belgium, Japan and
Italy are rnonarchies; and Japan brings
! to the Allies touch Of Oriental pagan
ism. Yet all of these nations are really IN
the stream of Democratic progress, dit
fering because at different stages OF that
progress Doubtless Russia has greater
hberalizing tendencies today than any
other of these peoples; and will sur
prise the world with her vast strides
forward. The issue is clearly drawn; on
the one side is the development or EN-
cheney through the free action of in
dividuals. co-ordinating their activities
through common consent. This is the
DEVELOPMENT of a Democratic society.
On the other side is the development OF
social efficiency, through the suppression

We are very glad of the opportunity
Of explaining the apparent incon-
sistency of the Journal in regard to
the two reports referred to above. 1t
is q rule Of the Journal to give pub
licity 10 any matter of moment that
takes place in open court. and all our
reporters have orders to that effect
In pursuance of this rule the report of
the hearing before Judge Atkins,
Wednesday, was published without ex-
aggeration or sensationalism. No re-
guest was made either by the parents
or friends of the Smith boy to with
fishers of this paper had no knowledge
Of the matter until they read the re-
port Thursday morning.
In the matter of the hearing of the
two boys before Judge Atkins, Thurs
day. and before our reporter could re-
port the case, he was interviewed by
several parties with requests to with
hold the names Of the boys As the
reporter has no authority to do this he
referred the parties in question to the
publishers of the Journal Whilesad-
told that the matter would be carefully
considered on receipt of the story
from our reporter. Although beliey-
ing personally that it would cause less
notoriety and be fully as well for the
boys and the parents to publish the
names with truthful statement of the
nearing. yet inasmuch as the evening
papers had withheld the names, we de-
cided to give the boys the benefit of
the opinion of their friends and with
held the names as requested
So far as the Smith boy is con-
cerned. we believe his position before
the public is better today than is that
of the two boys who were saved"
from publicity by their mistaken
friends. We have found, always. that
facts are preferable to gossip. The
very suppression Of the names of the
youngsters before the court on Thurs
day. stimulates very human determi-
nation to learn their names. And. the
names not being directly associated
with the facts. it is also a very human
inclination to add something to the
facts in repeating what has become
mere gossip. Publicity has become,
EVERYWHERE. an accepted part of the
penalty that deters criminals. It is
part OF the punishment of criminals,
and. morally. a newspaper has no
right to withhold the names Of those
before the courts. if such newspaper
makes practice of publishing court pro-
ceedings. And yet the most con-
scientious Of men mistakenly plead to
save" this or that favored one from
publicity. We are sorry for the Smith
boy and doubly sorry for the boys
whose mistakes were hidden by their
friends in the same way that an os-
trich hides by putting his head in the
sand

EDITOR
NOT A MATTER FOR BARGAINING.

That able American, John Hay, discerned a
good many years ago at one point of some ne
gotiations with Germany that European di-
plomacy is largely game of bluff, and doubt.
less President Wilson and Secretary of State
Lansing recognize it perfectly now
American diplomacy in this administration
is not bluff. Wilson's most vigorous critics
haven't accused him of bluffing. In fact, the
ilson-Bryan diplomacy has been raped be
cause in it the cards are laid upon the table
and America proceeds on the assumption that
frank and straightforward exchange of views
is the surest path to ultimate agreement.
The first and second American notes to Ger
many on submarine warfare stand as we'll
considered, reasonable and notably direct state
nents. They hide no catch conceal no trap.
They represent no maximum of demands put
dht merely as a medium for bargaining. And
America does not propose to bargain. Herr
Won Jagow, German foreign secretary, is quot
ed in the dispatches this morning as complain
ing that America takes wrong view of Ger
man warfare The Wilhelmstrasse will be
making needless error if it reasons from this
premise to the conclusion that the best diplom-
acy now is to chatter or to haggle
