Transit Dollars Mean Prosperity

livery dollar is SNOWFALL in its poten-
IL tialities OF prosperity, Start 1t rolling
on Monday morning, and, before the week is
out, 1t has grown to ten, twenty, fifty times
its original size. When Director Taylor said
that the transit improvements mean the dis
tribution of $43,000,0Oo in wages and OF $780,
100000, or thereabouts for material, before
cars are in operation on the new routes, and
that the expenditure OF this enormous sum
will make this city prosperous for three
years or more, he only scratched the surface.
Every dollar OF that $50, 900, 900 is a SNOWFALL.
The workman who gets 1t will pay for food
clothing. rent, amusements, fuel doctors
family. The grocer who gets 1t will pay
part of IL out to the supply man, and use
the rest in buying clothing and food for his
family. The supply man, in turn, will pay It
10 the farmer who raises the crops and the
farmer will pay it for automobiles, for cloth
building material for a better house, and the
men on whom the farmer spends the money
will also put 1t in circulation.
At low estimate that $4,000 900 will do
$1,000 900 worth of business before the
last cent oft is spent. So, why delay start
ing the ball? Why hold back the much
needed flip to business of all kinds right
here at home. even If we give no thought to
its effect upon that vast territory whose
prosperity is bound up with the prosperity OF
this city?

Why Real Pictures Are Popular

CHILDREN are interested in pictures long
} before they know how to read. Yet we
are sometimes told that a highly specialized
intellect is the prerequisite to a proper un-
derstandlng of "art." II by art is meant
a certain technique and manifestation of a
peculiar facility in handling the medium Of
expression, then it may be true that speciali-
zation is necessary. But the democratic crowd
that visited the Academy of the Fine Arts
yesterday at the opening OF the annual eX-
hibition ought to persuade any reasonable
person that the adult who began to love
pictures in his childhood has retained that
fondness. II there is a real picture he will
look at it with delight. But II the painter
has been merely running the scales and pre-
tending that he is producing a harmonious
composition. the discriminating person will
turn away to enjoy something worth while.
1t is never necessary to apologize by saying
81 do not know anything about art. but like
that painting" for your approval or dsap-
proyal OF it is test OF it's artistic value;
that is OF its success in producing in your
mind that emotion which brought 1t forth
from the mind of the painter. 1t may be that
you are like that New Englander who called
a visitors attention TO his native valley with
its winding river, its sweep OF surrounding
hills. its brilliant cloud-hecked sky-a SYM
phpny of greens and blues and browns, of
golden lights and silver shadings. With
sweeping gesture he took in the whole horizon
and said with pardonable pride: THAT is
neat; yes, call that neat" He was not
gifted with the power Of expression, as you
may not be, but the soul OF beauty was
swelling within his bosom.
II you sit in awe before the glories Of the
sunset you never need feel abashed before
g msrs mans pale imitation OF the beauties
of-the world.

An Era of High Price,

men OF Europe, artisans and farmers. but
II Is also depriving the several nations of
the means to carry on agriculture. Already
the supply of horses is inadequate, and the
United States is being drained OF it's sur
plus animals. 1t will require years to re-
plenish the stock So, too, the necessity for
food is driving blOoded cattle to the slaugh-
ter houses. The farm cannot be robbed of
It's utensils without a corresponding diminu-
tion OF production. Crops in Europe will be
below par for many years to come
This condition OF affairs will rebound to
the economic advantage OF the United States
as whole. although the greater prosperity
OF the agriculturalists will make the strug-
gie more dificult for people in the cities. It
Is reasonable to expect that there will be
Eensral uplift OF the plane Of living. The
present price OF wheat Is Indicative OF the
new prices that are likely to be in vogue
generally for some years Neither tariff nor
anything else can drive the cost OF living
down to what It was five years ago.

wss not adopted But the thing was ended
summarily by little chloroform, if the
story OF the man Is to be believed.
What matters the life Of poor man,
anyway 1t is much more important that
politicians should get their "rake-off in
contracts for new and commodious buildings
than that the lives of few score, or even
few hundred, should be prolonged many
years. Indeed. II the almshouse is made un-
sanitary enough the problem of overcrowd
ing will solve Itself, and the erection Of new
buildings can be delayed until such time as
seems favorable TO the political contractors
and the men they control. Society owes
nothing to it's dependents. Its obligation to
its common humanity must not be allowed
TO weigh against the moro pressing need Of
taking care of gang architects and gang
leaders engaged in politics for what there is

over the stones. for they are only poor
paupers whom nobody owns

FStuous Exposure of Nation in
Time of Peril

TT is impossible to conceive OF more
4 fatuous policy than that adopted by the
House OF Representatives when 1t ripped the
naval appropriation bill, drove knife INTO
the most salient provisions and ended by
etfectng an apparent saving OF $500, ,oOo-a
saving that may readily prove to be the
most expensive economy yet fastened on the
nation.
The cataclysm In Europe has demon
strated two things absolutely, to wit: the
enormous value OF submarines and aerial
craft. Yet the House reduces the number OF
submarines authorized from 16 to II and cuts
the appropriation for aeroplanes to a ridcu-
lous figure 1t frowns on and eliminates all
provision for the creation of naval reserve
and fiouts the idea OF hospital ship and
naval transport.
The House that does these things on the
plea of economy is the same House that con-
templates putting thirty millions into an un-
digested ship purchase scheme. 1t refuses
to make adequate provision for the defense
of the nation; it is ready to throw away
poses to build up a great merchant marine
and hestates to give it protection. With
the smell of pork" all over its aisles, 1t
fumes and frets and pleads the beggar when
necessary instruments of self preservation
are under discussion.
Have our statesmen lost all power of
analysis and become intoxicated by repeated
doses OF grape juice" logic? 1t Is not
jngoism. it is merely common sense, to
assert that never in our history have we
faced so great a crisis in our international
relations. Evidence has piled on evidence
that Europe has lost its head. Scarcely
day passes that some event or policy does
not tend to drag us into the turmoil. Good
sense may save us, and all men pray that 1t
will; but with the world on the warpath, it
is a wise nation that prepares for all even
Qualities and has its guns primed. There is
not even a third-rate nation besides our
selves that misunderstands the course of the
times We and we only are deceived by
falaclous arguments and blind optimism.
We alone are being talked into helplessness.
There never was a nation so befuddled by
cant.
There is but one thing for the Senate to
do: 1t must make the naval appropriation
bill carry authorizations commensurate with
the necessities OF the era. It must put
weight behind our diplomacy, must put us in
position TO demand our rights and main
tain them, must give to this great democ-
racy a voice for peace that cannot be ig-
nored. To do otherwise will be to fail in
great international and still greater ma
tional duty.

The Men Who Lighted the Fuse

THE three men who started the war
Il were executed by the Austrlans the other
day. They were the men who conspired to
sssassinate the Austrian heir. But did they
start the war?
There are students of the situation who
maintain that the war was started by the
kaiser, and that If he had willed it there
would have been peace. The Kaiser insists
that Russia started 1t by mobiIlzing, and
Russia insists that the activity of the Aus
trians in planning to despoil Servia caused
her to mobilize But all these causes lead
back to the assassination, which was the i'm
mediate excuse for the Austrian demands
on Servia
The causes of the war, however had been
brewing long time before the Servians
plotted the death of the heir to the Austrian
throne. At most these three men are entitled
merely to the distinction or the ignominv of
accidentally lighting a fuse that had been
laid most carefully many years before.
