THEN AND NOW

CENATOR WEEKS. before the
y Chamber of Commerce the
other day, read very enlight-
ening paragraph from speech of
Daniel Webster in the early days of
the republic. Webster pointed out
the folly of railing against taxation
in a country where taxation is lower
than in any other part of the world,
in crying out against the accumulation
of wealth in a nation where wealth is
more evenly distributed than any
where else and in complaining against
the rule of bosses" in a government
where the individual has fuller pow
ers of expression than anywhere else
on the globe. The address might have
been made in reply to any one of a
dozen TRADES against present day con-
ditions that ambitious politicians have
made in the past few years. Times
change, but human nature does not.
and political speeches move pretty
much in cycles.

A COUNTRY DRIVE AT NIGHT

tFrom the Columbus (O.) Dispatch.l
You are losing a lot of life IL you
do not drive along the country roads
at night. Beautiful as is the country
during the day, 1t is more beautiful at
night There is a weirdness about it,
an inspiration. las one drives through
the country after dark that does not
come when the sun is shining.
The road opens up before you like a
great fan, tinged with darkness. You
are plunging headlong into a gigantic
tunnel at night. The trees are seen
only in outline-fantastic shapes form
and reform before your eyes, and fade
gle in the shadows like things of life.
The cattle in the fields beside the road
become the goblins of the night, and
from afar there beats upon the scene a
flickering light in farmhouse for all the
world like the single eye of Cyclops.
The light from the car brings out the
defects of 1.-THE the road and magnifies
ing to the lights and shadows. Yet the
machine takes the ripping waves of
the road with never a complaint, and
the sweet. cool breath of night instils a
courage into the soul that is enchant-
ing.
pleasant. There is the silvery wake
trailing behind the boat, and the dis
tant lights along the shore are charm
ing. But the night time upon the lake
is different from the drive at night
through the country. There is not the
pictures in the dark. not the ghostly
charm of mystery which one beholds
when riding along the country roads
when the stars are twinkling. There Is
nothing comparable with the country
ride at night.

THE DIFFERENCE

CECRETA OF STATE BRYAN,
y when he assumed office, found
William w. Russell. minister of
San Domingo, who, though a Demo-
crat, had been retained by a number
of Republican administrations because
he knew his job and was thoroughly
efficient But Minister Russell un-
fortunately had not contributed in any
way to the success of the Wilson CAM
paign. So Bryan fired him and sub
stituted a deserving Democrat" one
James Mark Sullivan, who severed his
relations with the diplomatic service
recently following a Presidential in
,vestigation of his conduct in Office.
Secretary Lansing promptly reap
pointed Mr.. Russell.
In this incident we are shown the
chief difference between Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Lansing. One is a cheap poll
tician, the other a statesman. 1t is
scarcely necessary to designate which
is which.

WHERE GREAT BRITAIN FAILED
New York World. ]


Lord Lansdowne's statement that
Great Britain has only from 440, 900
to 100000 men 'in the European the
ater of war is a startling expression
of the nations unpreparedness even at
this late day. On good authority it has
been said that a British army of nearly
1000. 600 men has been raised. In
cluding casualties as officially reported,
only about one-fourth that number
have seen actual fighting.
1t is evident that Great Britain not
only lacked equipment for its army at
the beginning of the war, but after
eleven and half months 1t is still un-
able to equip it. The great bulk of
the huge army that 1t has recruited is
unavailable for service and counts for
nothing to-day on the fighting line.
Colonial troops from Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand have been sent
to the front because they came pre-
pared, while hundreds of thousands of
soldiers who enlisted in Great Britain
are awaiting arms
A nation may be capable of calling
volunteer armies into being on short
notice. but 1t cannot create cannon by
magic or provide itself with munitions
in emergency by mere force of money.
Under the assaults of more aggressive
and provident enemies its safety will
be imperiled If 1t trusts too much to
its latent resources for self-defense.

OUR BANKING SYSTEM

TINE Treasury Department has or
i dered a further withdrawal of
Government funds from the ma
tional bank depositaries and by the
end of this month more than eight
millions will have been thus trans
ferred from the local banks to the
regional reserve banks. The Govern
ment will lose the two per cent. in
terest which 1t now receives on these
deposits, but it is believed that the
transfer will have the effect of fore
ing the national banks to rediscount
their commercial paper with the
regional reserve banks. This would
enable the reserve bank system to pay
expenses, which it has never yet been
able to do. But It can hardly be
argued that a banking system which
requires artificial forcing of this kind
to make It profitable is altogether an
unmixed success.

WAR AND CITIZENSHIP
[From the Ruffalo Express.

[From the Buffalo Expressl
The Government of the United States
is giving some publicity to the position
which 1t feels compelled to take In re-
gard to those aliens who have sought
naturalization and now have returned
TO their native lands to bear arms in
the present great war. OF course all
persons who seek naturalization must
forswear their allegiance to any other
oath of allegiance to the United States
1t has always been held that all
Americans who may take the oath of
allegiance to a foreign power by that
act yield their American citizenship.
The same rule applied in the. case of
these aliens Vitiates any act they may
have taken toward the assumption of
American citizenship.
This seems a reasonable position and
1t is one that probably will not make
much difference in the cases of these
aliens. In the event that any of them
are left alive after the war is over and
they return to this country and again
desire to become American citizens. the
effect of this ruling will only delay the
consummation of that act. Instead of
having the process under way, they will
may cause some confusion and disap-
pointment to them, but nothing more.
Incidentally, the rule applied to those
nativeborn Americans-and there are
few of them who have Joined the
foreign armies-will doubtless cause
them surprise If they are lucky enough
to have the opportunity to attempt to
resume their rights, as American citi-
zens and II the point should ever be
raised against them that they had for
sworn such rights when they took SER
vice under a foreign power,

chase measure written into a law will
accomplish that end.
But how about the La Toilette sea-
mems law which is driving American
ships from the ocean? If the Presi-
dent had withheld his signature when
that bill was before him we would not
have surrendered the entire Pacific
steamship trade to the Japanese. as
we have done in the past two months.
Think of it! Only one steamer in the
trans-Pacific trade carrying the Am
erican flag, and that about to be sold
to a foreign company.

teetered up to the box office one Satur-

THE ExPATRIATED MUsKRATs
tFrom the New York sun.l


The muskrats of this country which
were introduced on the estates OIL
Prince Colloredo- -Mannsfeld in Bo-
hemia in 1906 have not behaved as
they should and have been no credit
to the land of their ancestry Like
the rabbit in Australia and the En-
lish sparrow in the United States. the
muskrat has developed evil traits of
which 1t was apparently innocent in
its native habitat. While 1t has grown
much in size it's value as a fur bearing
animal has decreased to almost moth
ing.
1t undermines the dams and banks
of the fish ponds in regions where fish
culture Is leading industry, allowing
both fish and water to escape: ii works
havoc among river crabs and musseis,
the former furnishing a large food
supply and the latter shells which sup
port important industries. And as IL
this was not severe enough an indict-
ment. our consul at Prague accuses 1t
of other crimes-catching fish, disturb
ing their feeding and spawning, eating
grain and vegetables and stealing eggs
Here, indeed, is fine record in
foreign land for one of our most harm
less creatures which is furnishing
American women with their finest
sable, seal or marten furs. The Bo-
hemians do not call 1t muskrat, bu,
an American muskrat," and they also
say 1T is pest.
