EUROPEAN WAR TO MAKE U. s.
GREATEST WORLD POWER

Berlin, via The Hague, Aug. 2
That Europe, by prolonging the world
war, is committing suicide AMI MAX
ing the United States the greatest
world power is the view taken by
Prof. George Simmel, authority on
international politics, in an article in
the Tageblatt.
America stands nearby as the
waiting heir at the deathbed of a
rich testator," he wrote. Sending
ammunition is the chief indication of
this attitude. Europe sends not a
small portion of it's fortune to Amer
lea and the equivalent which it re-
ceives it blows into the air or rather
it uses for the better execution Of its
suicide to hasten the succession of
America to the world throne"

ACCOUNTANT BILL.
Measure Passed House Today After II
Lengthy Debate.

The house today passed the public
accountant bill. providing for the GER
tifica ton of all accounts by the state
university. Passage of the bill fol-
lowed a half hours debate on the
floor, when members of that body re-
duced the examination fee and sought
to defeat the bill by loading it with
amendments.
The bill as passed by the house
came from the committee on public
welfare. 1t provides that an expert
accountant shall have license issued
by the state university. The original
bill provided that for such license
and examination by university profess
SOrS. the accountant should pay a fee
of $25. The fee was reduced to $40.
AS passed the bill provides that no
examination shall be necessary where
accountants at this time have had
four years practical experience and
spent at least one year as an account
ant in this state.

should not gather that Mr.. Brewer is

said that this bill might interfere in

ing new arrivals from ports over seas,
and cut down the total vote of Mr..
Brewers district. Yet he made no eff
fort to stop this measure, and permit
ted it to go through on a bulk roll call
without protest. Perhaps Mr.. Brewer,
who is an American, sees the need of
some legislation to prevent foreigners
from voting before the Ellis Island
soup has dried on their whiskers. At
any rate he has risen in the estimation
of the house, and it is to be hoped
that his constituency will place the
stamp of approval on his thoughtful
ness in assisting the speedy and I'M

The days of conference are upon us.
The house and senate are a million
dollars apart on appropriation meas
ures, and while the house is noisily
defiant, it is no more set in it's ways
than the ominously quiet senate.
Chances are remarkably good that the
chief executive of our fair state will
fall heir to an interesting situation,
tow1t, mess of unpaSSed appropria-
ton bills, and that a small army of
state institutional employees will be
confronted with the necessity of mort
gaging the buildings to buy pork
chops. OF course, Mr.. Capper, who
is a wealthy man. may dig up ten or
a dozen millions of his own kush to
run said institutions during the next
two years, and then again he may not.
The lone Socialist in the house is
not so socialistic as he is painted.
Those who know him we'll admit that
he is good fellow and not at all stuck
up because of his absolute control of
the Socialistic membership in the
house. When he holds Socialist
caucus, the action of that caucus is
unanimous. There is no boiling or
back talk. Neither the Republican or
Democratic leaders can say as much
of their caucuses, and even the Pro-
gressives fail to get together on all
measures.
This Socialist, Mr.. Brewer of Craw
ford county, wears the scenery that
goes with his politics, but he never
soaks his Windsor tie in the soup and
his whiskers are pruned evenly. Meth
er is his linen polluted with spots of
cranberry sauce and turkey gravy; no
railroad magnate like Frank YantiS,
of jitney fame, can fire a shot of hoOch
into his Socialistic system, and he
stands ever ready to condemn the lob

them but write to the Appeal to Reas-
