Travel as a Fine Art.
By JOHN ID. BARRY

COETHE'S remark that we get from strange
" place what we take there applies to all expert
ence. The more we have and give the more ac-
quire. 1t does not necessarily follow, however that
what we may have is good. five have an interest in
the morbid, for example. we shall find it every
where. On the other hand, if our interests are
healthy and if curiosity is keen, and if our
faculties and our bodies arc sound, we certain
to make excellent travellers through life, whether
we move from place to place whether we stay
in one spot,
Travelling is much easier than it used to be
and, in a sense, much less necessary Pictures
and newspapers and books make excellent travellers
of people that never leave home.
And yet those stay-at-home travellers miss
something too. In the very trials of travelling
there is compensation, provided, of course, they
are met in the right spirit. Moreover, there is
the advantage of personal contact. OF realizing
that ones ways not necessarily the best
in the world, that they perhaps inferior to
other ways.
On the other hand, there is reason for think
ing that the nations where the people don't travel
much are likely to be among the happiest. Con-
man is perfectly satisfied with his own country.
For him, France stands for the best in the world.
In his very provincialism there is self-satsfac-
ton.
1t is amusing to hear the comments of the
French people the English and the Americans
that they see touring through their country. They
wonder why these restless folks not content
to stay at home In their wonder, however, they
betray lack. If they had the curiosity of these
English and Americans how much broader life
would be for them, how much interesting
and varied!
There are those who seem to be made even
narrower by travelling Though they may not be
contented at home. the moment they find them
selves elsewhere they feel and act and they speak
as if home were the only part of the world worth
living in. Wherever they go, they make invidous
comparisons. The thought OF home nhibits
joyment. Nevertheless when they do return, they
may still be dissatisfied.

If all wives who have been unable to maintain
their ideals and have been forced to adjust them
selves to and humiliating relations to life
should follow the example OF the wife of Prof.
Edward T. Dana. who, put end to her distress
of mind by drowning in the cool waves of the
Atlantic there would be few of the bereaved hus-
bands as philosophical Mr. Dana, who thinks
her demise tragic but beautiful" possibly for the
reason that few men would have so little cause
for self-reproach.

Everything is getting to be costly in the

80 per cent than it did few years back,
which prompts rural resident to remark that
it will not be long before a person must be worth

No diamonds mine, but at the dawn

But this / know; for frutfulness of crop

THIS COMES FROM GREAT
BRITAIN,

Russia, the present ally of England
decided to make cotton contraband in
1906, Britain's displeasure was voiced
in protest in no uncertain terms, as
the following note delivered to Rus.
sia by Great Britain shows:
"The quantity of raw cotton that
might be utilized for explosives would
be infinitesimal in comparison with
the bulk of the cotton exported from
India to Japan for peaceful purposes,
and to treat harmless cargoes of this
latter description as Internationally
contraband would be to subject a
branch of innocent commerce, which
Is specially important in the Far
East, to most unwarrantable inter.
ference"
Ten years later, in 1915, Great Brit.
ain declared United States cotton con-
traband. The difference was this.
Russia's crop came in great quantities
from India, therefore England's prod
ucts were affected. American protests
matter little, England has decided cot
ton shall be contraband.

IRISH BISHOP FOR PEACE.

Bishop O'Dwyer, the Catholic bishop
of Limerick, has addressed a personal
letter to John Redmond, calling his
attention to the various pleas made
by the Holy Father in the interests of
peace, and asks the leader of the
Irish Parliamentary Party to forget his
interests in recruiting and use what
interests he may have in promoting
the program of peace outlined by Pope
Benedict and to urge upon the British
ministry, through the political forces
that can be summoned, the necessity
of an early peace. Bishop O'Dwyer is
not particularly happy in contem-
plating the situation that now faces
Great Britain in view of the results
after twelve months of war with Ger.
many. Urging his proposal upon Mr..
Redmond, the Bishop says:
ut is time to look the facts in the
face; and recent events show that all
the belligerents, including Germany,
have had a profound lesson in the
terrible destruction Of this colossal
war, and must long for some way out
Of it. It is especially ruinous to Ire.
land, and Mr.. Redmond would be do
ing a service to the country and the
whole world by exercising his influ-
ence with the Government in the in
terests of peace"

out notice. The American who rides
on such ships knowingly takes his life
in his hands fully as much as if he
tried to ride along the battle front in
Flanders on gun-cassion.
There is a certain element which
clings to the doctrine that there is
profit in war-that war makes good
business. The experience of warning
Europe in the last 10 months has dis
proved that theory.
There is another large class which
gets red in the face and pounds the
table and talks about Ticking any ma
ton on earth" This is not a class that
is ever largely represented in uniform
in time of actual war.
Americas dignity and honor will
best be asserted by preserving to
Americas babies their daddies; to
Americas mothers their boys; to
Americas wives their husbands, and
to Americas girls their sweethearts.
So long as we can look upon the
Eastland affair as a mildly interesting
and somewhat novel incident in our
daily lives, we haven't a great deal of
license to get over-excited when Ger

portunities to combat the divorce evil

While the divorce situation in

or less of jocose way publicly the
seriousness is also recognized and II
is not to be doubted but the future
will see the necessity of some en-
actment along concerted lines, such
as that started by the Catholic law

PROFIT BY ENeLAND's EXAMPLE.

That danger is fascinating is a
trite and true saying. That the GER
tain dangers and almost certain death
in army service holds a fascination
amidst the honors of wars is not to be
doubted. The more speedy the auto
mobiles; the more reckless the dare
driving, the greater the fascination.
The possibility of excitement in pass
ing from Liverpool to New York
through a war zone carries with it a
glamor that decidedly breaks the
monotony of an ocean voyage. All this
seems to be consideration enough for
English cocksureness and American
recklessness. The British government
itself declined to be responsible for
subjects during the Russia-Japanese
war. An item direct and to the point,
is found in this weeks issue of the
st. Paul German paper regarding the
sinking of the Arabic.
The sinking of the Arabic, q vessel
controlled by the British admiralty,
and in continuous use as transport
of ammunition, has seriously delayed
an enormous cargo of war material
destined for the slaughter of German
soldiers-and thus has called for a
new hysterical clamor of the pro-Brit-
ish American press.
The comments of this press show
no sincere attempt to assist our gov
eminent to solve the serious problem
which confronts it on account Of its
former deplorable position. In this
connection we wish to call attention to
the following official warning sent out
by the English government during the
Russo-Japanese war:
"All subjects of the crown are noti-
fed that the British government will
not undertake to be responsible for
the safety of any British subject leav-
ing this port (Shanghai on ship of
either of the belligerent nations"
Had our government shown the
same foresight and common sense, had
it protected the lives of its citizens
by similar warning, it would not
find itself in it's present predicament.
We cannot believe that President
Wilson is ready to plunge this coun-
try into war for the sake Of few
Americans who staked their lives to
safeguard England's transport of am
munition. However, we do believe
that-as a practical solution of the
existing difficulties - the American
people would enthusiastically approve
of an official warning on the part of
the President that Americans use only
neutral or American steamers for pas.

NEUTRAL SHIPS FOR NEUTRAL
AMERICANS.

The White Star Line steamer, Ara
bic. in service between Liverpool and
New York, was sunk last week off
the Irish coast. The Arabic was for
merly In service between Liverpool
and Boston, but of late has been trans.
ferred to service between Liverpool
and New York, for the purpose of
carrying ammunitions Of war to the
allies. 1t was understood that two
Americans lost their lives with the
sinking of the steamer. The Press &C.
counts differ widely regarding the
exact reason for the sinking of the
steamer. The dispatches from Berlin
leave the question open as to whether
the vessel was sunk by mine or by
a discharge from submarine. 1t is
probable that from Is to 30 passen-
gers are still unaccounted for. The
affair has renewed the same talk that
was INDUCED in at the time of the
sinking of the Lusitania; the same
questions have again been raised. The
press dispatches Of Thursday morning
are rather sorry disappointment to
the Pro-British papers in this coun.
try, because they obtain an authentic
statement from the German govern
ment, not only expressing the regrets
Of that government, but also express
ing q sincere desire to make amends
in any form possible If the commander
Of the German submarine was entirely
in the wrong. The question of wheth-
er or not the Arabic tried to ram the
submarine, or attempt to make hos
tile attack on the German boat, or
otherwise failed to comply to the rules,
are points yet to be cleared up. So
far this country has had only the
word of the White Star Line Steam
ship Company, and its side Of the at
fair.

SAFE AND SANE AMERICANS.

Here and there we find in differ
ent sections Of the country, publica-
lions which have the vigor to express
themselves in line with the rule of
reason that neutral Americans will
take passage on neutral vessels; that
the flag of cur own country is the SAT-
est flag under which to ask for Ameri-
can protection. No sooner was the
Arabic sunk than a concerted effort
was made to secure comment from the
same papers which expressed grue-
some glee when there was posi-
bility of war when the Lusitania sunk.
The individual who said to H with
the Hohenzollerans would not have
any American flag to defend If the
Efforts he made at one time in his
career had been successful. Read the

In the Minneapolis Daily News, of
Tuesday, is commendable for its ex-
preston Of Safe and Sane American

inventory of our fitness to engage In
the conflict over which Europe has
gone mad. The editorial follows:
