Am MPnRTANT nIFFERENCE.

THE Quadruple is ready and willing to make
peace with the German people, but not with Prus-
sian militarism That is the germ Of the most recent
utterance OF Viscount Hadane formerly British Lord
High Chancellor in discussing the peace talk that is
so rife on the European continent and particularly in
Germany and Austria He added:
"The Allies OF century ago we're quite ready to
make peace with France but not with Napoleon. So
today until we can deal with the real German people,
whom we can trust and whom we know as sane con-
tributors many good things to the worlds civiliza
tion but who temporarily have yielded their place to
false leaders, we do not care to talk peace"
Haldane also said that peace negotiations would
be considered by Great Brtain her Allies until EN-
peror william and the German party have been
thrown out OF the saddle by the German democracy
Those words are significant They predict over
whelmng disaster both at home and abroad for Prus-
sian miitarism the who have made it what It
is today and placed Germany where she is today, an
Ishmaelitc among enlightened nations.
Tho real issue in the is whether that Prussian
miiarsm is TO triumph and put its heel upon the
neck Of the civilized world, whether the civilized
world is to triumph and put its heel upon the neck Of
Prussian mtarism, which has shown clearly that it
has mind but no heart no soul and no conscience.
The worlds welbeing calls for the defeat of those
mtarsts II is not in the nature Of things that they
shall escape that fate. Il is world necessity.

SEX LITERATURE SISSIES AND MOLLYCODDLES.
TAENNY- -DREADFULs and nickel-awfuls have
dent champion in j. W. searson, English professor
in the Kansas State Agricultural College What he
says will shock many persons who look upon penny
and nickel novels instruments invented by the devil
to lure boys from the paths Of righteousness We have
in our country however hundreds of thousands OF red
blooded and purposefu who viii agree heartily
with what Professor searson says.
Most Of the sissies and mollycoddles among the
boys and young of the present generation were
made so by the food Of literature that has been
poured upon country" he said the National Coun-
Gil Of English Teachers. held in Chicago recently.
"Nick Carter Old King Brady Diamond Dick and
James series far superior to such tera
ture. Let your boy read Diamond Dick Old King
Brady and the rest OF the nickel brand 1t will create
a hunger for stories like "Ivanhoe," the writings Of
Cooper and the writings Of Poe and Stevenson"
open advocacy OF red-blooded literature OF the
types under discussion doubt will subject that pro-
fessor in English to much criticism. With it ALL how
ever, it will remain open question how much good
how much harm the penny -dreadfuls and the nickel
awfus do One fact should be lost sight of by such
critics That is that when he under the stress
OF heavy political and legislative work in Washington
Thomas b. Reed. OF Maine found mental relaxation in
such flash novels and made OF the fact. He
said they gave his blood his brain and his magina
ton the stirring up they needed 1t also has been
said that Chief Justice Fuller and other men prom-
nent in public life believed in and followed the Reed
literary creed
One thing is certain. II is much better to have a
boy who is dreaming of the time when he will be able
to go West and kill few hundred buffalo, grizzly
bears and catamounts and circumvent the devish
Vaccinations Of the Sioux the Apaches and the Naya-
joes than whose highest ambition is to do
things more properly belonging to the genter sex.
The world loves a red-blooded, manly boy. It has
little use for the sss and the mollycoddle.

ONE YEAR BEFORE.

n EPEATED assertion has been made by German OFF,
N cials that they did not expect desire or provoke
the present European war
They have stood by that assertion in the face Of
documentary and other proof Of most conclusive ma
ture, TO the contrary.
Further proof that they expected It, desired It and
intended to provoke It is shown by the testimony ad
duced in the trial OF the Hamburg American line Off
cias in New York.
That testimony shows that year before the war
broke out the German Government issued instructions
to the Hambure-Amercan line relative to the carrying
Of coal and other supplies the German cruisers in
tho Atlantic in event of war
Those orders oral, but written and the let
ter has been put in evidence. It shows clearly
the mendacity Of official German utterance relative to
the provocation OF the war.
Germany wanted the war. She thought she had nut
herself on land and in position to carry il to
successful conclusion She used the trouble between
Austria and Servia for bringing the war
about Too late to recede she discovered that she
would have TO deal with Great Britain and Italy as well
with France and Russia Not until then did it dawn
upon her that the of her own provoking would
lead her ultimate undong The next step was to en-
deavor unload upon the other nations the respons
biity for causing the Her in that matter
has been mendacious that II has caused the world

Gentlemen of the Congress, sin
certify has no more obvious function
and patriotism no clearer duty than
to recede from positions taken in good
faith but with imperfect understand
ing. | therefore beg you to permit
me, before entering upon the consid-
Grafton of these great questions of
constructive legislation which the
State of the world force upon us. to
withdraw from the record and to elm
ate from your minds the greater part
Of the recommendations and exhorta-
tions which addressed to the Sena-
tors and Representatives of the Sixty
third Congress at the opening of the
third session of that Congress, Just
one year ago.
And first of all, and particularly.
the following remarks. which / now
see to have been infelicitous in con-
ception and unfortunate in utterance: !:
''The road at last lies clear and firm
before business. 1t is a road which it
can trayel without fear or embarrass-
ment. IL is the road to ungrudged,
unclouded success. In 1t every man
WAiO H'iRNNn thoA tAt bhbAAN NA'o'
is part Of his own interest, may walk
with perfect confidence"
I withdraw this because ! now per-
ceive that the road before business
cannot lie clear and firm, leading to
unclouded success, while the super
visory powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, for instance, prac-
tically extend to the direct manage
ment Of railway finance through the
fixing OF rates by affirmative action.
/ long ago pointed out that the end
of such a system of governmental con-
troll can only be government owner

earlier and sounder view of the rela-
ton OF our government to the nations
railway system. Likewise do / now
perceive and declare as against all
previous expressions OF mine on the
subject. that the road cannot lie cleal

litical principles and institutions. And
what is II that it is suggested that we
be prepared to do? To defend our
selves against attack? We have al
ways found means to do that and
shall find them whenever it is neces-
sary, without calling our people away
from their necessary tasks to render
compulsory military service in time
of peace"
"The subject is not new. There is
no new need to discuss it. We shall
not alter our attitude toward It be-
cause some among us are nervous and
excited. We shall easily and sensibly
agree upon a policy OF defense. The
question has not changed its aspect
because the times are not normal
Let there be no misconcep-
ton. The country has been misin-
formed We have not been negligent
Of national defense"
Expunge this too from your memo
ries, gentlemen of the Senate and the
House OF Representatives Since the
foregoing words were uttered by me
in this same place a twelvemonth age
great light has been seen by the
country. and my own eyes have not
been blind. There is new need to dis.
cuss the question of national defense
The question has changed its aspects
The country has not been misin
formed as to the urgent need for ac
ton. We have been negligent of ma
tional defense. We have been un
mindful Of the great responsibilit!
resting upon us.
In all humility and without reservi
dictated by the mere pride Of persona
opinion, / beg your leave to unsa,
I what / then said. / assure you tha
upon near occasion I shall bring t.
your attention specific recommenda
tons for remedying the dangerou
conditions which we now all recog
nize, and shall invite you to coop
crate with me in securing for ou
beloved land adequate insurance AM

Washing Won't Rid
Head of DsndFuff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. TO do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough TO
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
DO this tonight, and by morning, most
if not all, OF your dandruif will be gone,
and three OF four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it. no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. Il is Inexpensive and never fails
TO do the work.

Transportation OF individuals and

an inseparable part of daily existence;

that the self-propelled vehicle has

Admitting that the automobile does

for inequality in taxation. always
keeping it in mind that the automobile
owner does pay and is taxed as a spe-
