n~eutrals to sell to belligerents
any thing belligerents wish to
buy. 1t has been upheld by the
State Department from the be-
ginning. The trade is at the risk
of the shipper, to be sure, and
government can neither protect
him in it nor be responsible for
it. But to forbid it would be to
establish a precedent that would
inevitably be a source of future
injury.
The object of the German
Americans" and "Irish-Ameri-
cans" who are clamoring for this
legislation is plain enough. They
really complain, not of the trade,
but of its destination. Great
Britain and France have control
of the sea, and can buy of US ;
Germany and Austria do not
have control of the sea and can
not buy of us. That, however, is
no concern of a neutral power. 1t
would forget its neutrality, in
deed, if it changed its traditional
policy at this time. The Gov
eminent at Berlin is wiser than
its too ardent champions here.
The last thing it wishes is to
have the privilege of buying
arms restricted because for the
moment it might be an advan-
tage to Germany.-Philadelphi

Signs.

Signs.
Folks there are who figure
weather by the signs
Of the goose bone or the feather,
or the vines.
If the atmosphere should culver
They can feel it in their liver,
And they're sure to get a shiver
Up their spines,
When they see a circle dancing
Round the moon,
Or a brace of sun dogs prancing
Just at noon,
Or if Venus or the dipper
Has a fit and turns a fipper,
Then we're sure to get a ripper
Pretty soon.
Gloom and trouble hold the CEN
ter of the play.
Optimism doesn't enter
In the fray;
Our calamity forecaster,
With his almanac as master,
Dishes up some new disaster
Every day.
If a whizzing gale should %clatter.
Let 'er whiz.
Let us learn to smile, no matter
What it is
Say to every goose-bone wizard:
BLESS your pessimistic gizzard--
Let the good Lord send a blizzard
Let 'er blizz."

DEADLOCK HOLDS
ON SPEAKERSHIP
No Surface Indications That

Elect This Week.

Springfield. H.. Jan. 25.-If the fSth
general assembly is 10 break the
speakership deadlock and complete its
organization the coming week, there
IS no surface Indication 10 this ef-
feet.
II appears 10 be a game OF freeze
out between Proyine and his support
ers on one side, and the term anti
Provine does not apply exclusively 10
the l. wet republicans who refused
to be bound by the partys caucus, but
includes a number OF prominent re
publicans who participated in the eau
Gus.
The expectation among both friends
and opponents OF the caucus nominee
is that the speakership deadlock will
continue at least through the week. 1t
has been predicted that another jump
across the house aisle will be made
by the Hubbard -Huston-Kane faction
Cf dry democrats this week. and that
the number viii be greater than the
10 who voted FOR Provine last week.
II Is not expected, however. that the
movement viii be strong enough TO
