AIR RAIDS.

The air raid is, of all the devices
of warfare, the most modern, the
most spectacular, the most useless
and the most inhumane. From the
standpoint of winning campaigns it
has no value whatever to the side
that employs it; as means of cxas-
perating those against whom it is
used and stiffening their resolve to
fight to the death it is fairly effective.
1t terrorizes the noncombatant popu-
lation over large areas; the fear it
produces is more wholly out of pro-
portion to it's prospective dangers and
actual effects than that which attends
any other form of offensive warfare.
The idea of being bombarded from
above strikes terror to the breast of
the average human being; but no
campaign was ever influenced in it's
outcome because women lay shaking
with fear in their beds and children
cried in fright as they went to
school. AS scouting instrumental
ity the airship, whether heavier or
lighter than air, has portentous sig
nificance and has already revolution
lied a part of the science of handling
troops in the presence of the enemy;
but as "warship" it is still utterly
without significance.-St. Louis Re-

PUZZLE AND SENSELESS CRlTI-
CISM.

''It is hardly necessary to repeat
for the fiftieth time that the alleged
war tax is mere subterfuge to cover
the failure of the administration to
raise money because of it's low tariff
duties. ''-Philadelphia Inquirer.
This. is but an example OF the
senscless and purile arguments that
the republican leaders are putting up
with the hope of discrediting the
democratic administration and which
lack every element of decency and
honesty. Just as the above quotation,
for how an increase in the tariff duties
would have added to the government
revenues when the war cut off i'm
ports, and the ships of many nations
disappeared from the seas, the In
quirer does not attempt to explain.
The war created an emergency
which was met by the tax which is
now being paid. If imports had not
been so greatly reduced there would
have been no such tax 1t does not
add to the amount of the taxes the
people pay, but shifts it simply to a
system of internal taxes. Before the
war the Underwood tariff was bring
ing in sufficient revenue. The war
SJOpPCu LuC IA1pOA W GNU IitoS 10 e@AA
there is to the whole question. High
ser duties, if they had been imposed,
instead of the present tax would UNI
doubtedly have decreased they reve-
nues as they would have been that
much restriction on international
trade. The object of a tariff is to re-
strict imports.
If the republican leaders had
pointed out better plan to meet the
emergency there would be some COM
mon sense in the attacks that have
been made, but it has always been a
party of negation, always standing
pat, always refusing to move forward.
There has been more constructive

If ROOSY HAD BEEN THERE.

Colonel Roosevelt says President
Wilson did wrong in not pitching in
and saving Belgium from destruction
by the Germans. If the president had
taken this course, we would at this
time be a country of mourners, many
of our gunboats would be at the bot
tom of the ocean and thousands of
our soldiers would be lying half bur-
led on the battlefields of Europe. We
would be enlisting thousands of our
young men and sending them away as
food for European cannon and our
national debt would have piled up by
the billions. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Roosevelt may some day come to
see, as many are just now seeing for
the first time, the extreme folly and
wickedness of war and that he will
oppose all such things with the full
force of his strong will.-Platte

ILLINOIS TO EXHIBIT
lIvEsTOCKAAD AGRICULTURE
Will Spend 100000 in Participating in
Exposition at San Francisco.

Illinois is going to spend 100000
for her participation in the Panama.
Pacific international Exposition at
San Francisco in 1915 At least, this
is the amount of money which the last
Illinois legislature appropriated for
that purpose.
The Illinois building is going to cos:
$15O,O0O But the item that Iowa is
most interested in is that $4,000 will
be spent for Illinois exhibits of agri.
culture and live stock.
1--WE believe Illinois live stock and
agriculture have not been advertised
enough" says Mr.. Adolph Karpen.
chairman Of the Illinois Commission.
I'VE are going to let the world know
that Illinois produces about as good
live stock as there is, and that, as an
agricultural state, she ranks among
the first. There is great interest de-
veloping in dairy cattle. Illinois has
some of the best, and she is going to
show them at San Francisco next year.
I'VE are also appropriating, about
$4,000 for an educational exhibit and
will spend between $4,000 and $4,000
for publicity. Each of our other com.
mittees has an initial expenditure al.
lotted to it of $4,000"

The government lost little on it's
Panama railroad last year compared
with the year before, but on it's
steamship line between New York
and Cristobol it made the handsome
gain of over 40 per cent in net rev.
enue. This is not the worst of it:
Whatever becomes Of the railroad
business through diversions to the
canal, it is the avowed purpose of Col.
Goethals and other officers Of the
governments corporation to- extend
the operations of the steamship line
from New York through the canal to
points on the Pacific coast. Here are
obviously threatened more foreign
complications and more ruinous in
references with private enterprise in
building up our merchant marine.

Since 1850 the population Of the
United States has more than quad

During the past fifty years the for

has grown from 100000 to ST.
259, 100000 and the per capita value
of exports from $16.96 to $23.27.
The national wealth has increased
from seven billion dollars to one hun
dred and forty billion. The amount
of money in circulation has increased
from two hundred and seventy-nine
billion dollars to three billion, four
hundred and nineteen million dollars.
The value of farm property has in
creased from four billion in 1850 to
forty-one billion in 1910. In 1850
there were 9,021 miles of railway in
operation in the United States and
today there are approximately $780,
900 miles. The yearly output of fac

is over $2O,O0O,OOO,00O.

HUNTING UP THE FACTS.

President Wilson's instructions to
the department of justice for an ac-
tive investigation Of the speculative
wheat situation are within the scope
of the governments functions and
fairly called for by existing condl-
tions.
The times are extraordinary. The
established order of international
trade by which it is made self-regu-
lating in price and movement has
broken down. There is not now a
country in the world outside of the
) United States, either at war or re-
mote from war, which is not actually
taking over or is not prepared to take
4 over a public guardianship OF tood
supplies for it's own people.
We may not need to do any such
thing, even in the case of our wheat,
whose supply is being violently raid
ed by all western Europe. Prices
which in gold are already the highest
in more than a generation may be a
legitimate product of supply and de-
mand. and may better be left alone
as long as they remain legitimate.
With an estimated surplus of above
100. 100000 bushels now Oh hand
aIL0r I'LL cApOIl VI 1,oVV'VVo DNoAA
els since July LIST, it is possible that
the SITUATION may safely be allowed
to drift as it is while longer.
But the country should know with
out further waiting just what this
situation is. 1t should know whether
these high prices are going to the
farmers or to big spectators engaged
In forestalling the market. 1t should
know what the existing wheat sup
plies amount to and where they are
located. 1t should know whether the
spectators are putting the country
under contract to deliver abroad the
wheat which will be needed for next
springs seeding, the wheat which will
be needed by our own people for
bread at less than prohibitive prices
before the next crop begins to come
forward.
We want the facts, and If the facts
Justify extraordinary measures OF
government Intervention they will be
taken, because the first law of nature
will compel their being taken. When
other countries are recognizing no
other law in great crisis where civil
ization finds itself turning upside
down, this country will hardly be re-
strained from acting along the same
line by those who consult the books
and can find no precedent for any
such course.-New York World.
