OF its successful operation in European

made that the department should bring
to Washington the old Holland, which
was the first underwater craft of the
United States navy. and from which the
successful boats of today have been de-
veloped. and place beside il one of the
recently constructed submarines. The
fact that this vessel has been sold to a
private concern will preclude that pos
sibility. and accordingly it has been
planned to bring here one of the earlier
types and also one of the modern SUBJ

in construction. An effort is also being

to be evidence both sound and
sufficient that a crime had been
committed by the man named in
the indictment, but the stickler

never justify a crime, and
they are a dangerous reed to lean

method. and herald it as wave
of prosperity advancing upon
u.s." The Journal is one of the
great Republican newspapers
within It's spnere) which refuses
to acknowledge the prosperity
wave until we see it. So far,
there is not even a ripple of
prosperity within our immediate
territory, which is also the terri
tory of our aforementioned con-
temporary, excepting in the lead
industry. It is a matter of
common knowledge that there is
no industrial revival in this eoun-
try except in such things as the
warning nations in Europe are
buying from US that will enable
them to continue the terrible
slaughter of mankind that they
are engaged in. Keeping this
fact in view, it would be far more
consistent to thank God for the
war in Europe for whatever re-
vival of industry we are now ex-
periencing in this country, in
stead of attributing it to Presi-
dent Wilson and a Democratic
administra tion. You cannot con-
vince the railroads, for instance,
that they are beng overwhelm-
ed by a wave of prosperity; they
are, on the contrary, groaning
forth the agony of hard times
from the slough of despond.
Neither can you convince the av-
erage country banker that the
people are prosperous, for he
knows better. That the hun
dreds of thousands of men out of
work refuse to believe in and
thank Wilson and a Democratic
administration for that great
wave of prosperity is already set
forth in the returns of the late
spring election.

The Democratic papers Of the
state are trying to make political
capital out of the fact that the
man who was recently elected
president of the board Of alder
men of St. Louis on the Republi-
can ticket has since the election
been charged With having sold
forged deeds of trust, and has
been indicted for the offense.
However, the bad men are not
all in the Republican party, nor
can it be shown that the per
centage of rascals in that party
is greater than in the Democrat
ic or any other ! olitical party
The offense Of this man Freder,
ick, is the act of an individual,
not the otfense of political party
against tie public. So far as all
experience shows,the people are,
as q rule, governed just as hon
estly and far more satisfactorily
on general principles by the Re.
publican party than by the Dem.
ocrats. Once in while Re.
publican may go wrong, but the
people are safest in sticking to
that party.

Missing a Good Chance.

The following from the Globe
Democrat, while written in a jok-
ing vein, is not without much
good sense:
The report that real estate
spectators are reaping a har-
vest by selling town lots at the
termini Of the projected govern
ment railway in Al ska must be
disappointing to ardent advocates
of the single tax. Why did not
the government, instead of an
nouncing the terminal towns, C.
quire the town sites and try the
single-tax experiment? In view
of the fact that it is to try the ex-
pertinent of a government-owned
railway and has decided to re-
tain the title to coal mines, leas-
ing the mining privilege to indi-
viduals and corporations. it might
as we'll have improved the oppor-
tunity to try out the single-tax.
The country is sparsely populat-
ed and it's resources are compar-
atively -undeveloped. The gov
ernment would not have to dis
turb vested rights or run count
er to the prejudices of large
section of the population. Its
power over Alaska and it's prop
erty is practically unlimited.
The slight share in local govern
ment the inhabitants enjoy is
due to congressional grace. Alas
ka could be run as automatically
as Jefferson governed the Louisi.
ana Territory, without violation
of the constitution.
Now that Wisconsin has ap-
parently grown weary of acting
as the governmental experiment
station. we should turn to Alas
ka. There is little up there to
ruin. The expense will be insig-
nif1cant, when distributed on
per capita basis among 100000
600 people. Scientific men are
practicing vivisection, using dogs
and guinea pigs and other ami.
mails for their experiments. Why
can't the government treat Alas
ka in the same way? Instead of
so many isms being injected IN
to our own campaigns, why can
we not provide that proposed re-
forms tried out in Alaskan We
fear the administration has miss
ed an excellent opportunity"

A War Tariff Wall.

1t is fact that IS only begin
ming to be recognized that the
war in Europe has built about
the United States a protective
wall that is higher than any ever
erected by the Republican party,
and it is this protection that is
primarily to be credited with the
encouraging signs of resump-
tion of business. The Under
wood tariff virtually opened our
doors for the admission of for
eign products and manufactures,
and the evil effects of this breach
in the tariff barricade was max
ing itself strongly manifest long
before the war began. By check
ing all industry and putting an
almost prohibitive price upon
transportation the war stopped
foreign competition with our
producers and manufacturers
and nulli6ed the Democratic
tariff law. But trade had become
so depressed and discouraged
by the application of free trade
principles and by the harass-
ment of laws and regulation in
imical to business that it was
slow to realize that Circumstance
es had triumphed over vicious
policies ana had for the time be
ing restored the statu quo, SO
far at least as protection to
American industries was con.
cerned. When this fact began
to be understood and it was seen
that the war hal created for
elgn demand for our products
as was never known before, and
that the banks were, in conse
auence, filled with money, the
wheels of industry began again
to turn. We canno. all share in
the trade produced by the war,
said Business, but our stocks o1
goods are greatly depleted, we
have an enormous home market
that is beginning to hunger fo1
supplies, we have now 20 alien
competition to fight, and unit
the war ends we may safely ven
ture.
So it is that trade is looking
up" and if the country could be
assured of the restoration of ar
equitable protective tariff, and
of fair treatment of business,
big and little, we would certainly
enter upon q great period OF
prosperity. The end of the war
will remove the temporary bar
rier which has been unconscious
lly or unwillingly built up for oul
protection. but it will be some
time afterwards before the in
dustries of Europe can be so re
vived as to enter into active com
petition with US, and in the
meantime we will have provided
for our own commercial defense
by the return Of the Republican
party to power. Globe Demo

The Missouri Farm Credits Bill.

The Missouri legislature has
enacted law looking to the fu'
ture organization of a credit or
land bank, the aim of which is to
furnish farmers money on long
time and credit at low rates of
interest, the debt to be paid of
by small periodical payments.
The bank is to be under the
supervision of a board of govern
OPS, composed of the governor of
the state, the attorney general,
the secretary of state, the state
treasurer and the state auditor,
and under the management of
the state bank commissioner. 1t
is to be located at the capital of
the state, with no capital stock,
but behind it million dollar
working capital, furnished by
the state. Money is to be loan
ed for the improvement of the
land mortgaged, for paying off
loans and incum brances; and %
per cent of the amount borrowed
may be used for the purchase of
stock and machinery. The loans
are to be in amounts not in ex-
cess of so per cent of the apprais-
ed value, and from periods run
ming from five to twenty five
years; no loan less than $3.50 nor
greater than $4,000, the prefer
ence being given to those who
ask for less than $1,000. Loans
are to be made to applicants only
on perfect titles, free from all
sorts of exemption, and none for
speculation. Payments are to
be made in small installments,
and part Of the interest to apply
on the debt. For example, if a
loan is made for a period of twen-
ty-five years, the borrower would
pay approximately 6.5 per cent,
of which 4.3 per cent would be
interest, .5 to l per cent reserve,
and IL per cent to apply on the
debt, thus gradually extinguish-
ing the loan.
After half a million has been
loaned the government is to sell
in the open market debenture
bonds based on the half-million
in mortgages. The proceeds are
to be loaned out to other borrow
ers until the bonds amount to
forty million dollars, based on
the original million dollars of
working capital The bonds are
to be exemp from all state, coun-
ty and municipal taxes of every
kind.
This is the substance of the
law, which, however, will not go
into effect until after the consti-
tuition has been amended by a
vote of the people.-Wallace's
Farmer.

Twisting The Tail Of
the Golden Rule

the Golden Rule
The Golden Rule is a good rul,
but we often twist it's tail to .
frazle.
It was laid down as a guiding
star to the faltering and waywaro
footsteps of humanity. But there
are many feet in this town thai
neglect to tread the golden path
way of life.
1t has been taught US at the
mother knee, preached to US from
the pulpit, fed to US in the schools
declaimed from the lecture plat
form, and advocated from a thou
sand other sources.
But there are local ears that
hear not and eyes that refuse to
see.
The tail of the golden rule is
receiving some vigorous twists
in this town.
Often we are asked by some
merchant to preach the doctrine
of trade at home" We preach
it, and it helps to enrich the
merchant who made the raquest.
That is good, for we believe in
patronizing local Institutions we
like to see them grow-we want
the money kept at home.
But when the same merchant
whose money till we have helped
to fill sends out of town for his
job printing we cannot but pity
the eisolation of the poor old Col
den Rule.
Some people make their money
in this community, enjoy life in
the community, educate their
children at the expense of the
community, and then buy their
goods from merchants who are
not in or of the community.
It is some tug at the golden
tail.
There are some people who
want the eartl for what they
sell and then expect to receive
some of their own purchases for
less than cost. And the Golden
Rule is helpless - forgotten
kicked into the discard.
A few people make a practice
of para1ing their virtues and
sneering at the frailties of their
neighbors.
Some people want to hog ev-
erything in sight, though the less
fortunate experience the pangs
of hunger.
Occasionally we see a sancti-
monious countenauce in church
while the mind within is devils
ing means of skinning others
out of their hard earned dollars.
Why, the poor, decrepit old
rule is strangled three hundred
and sixty-fi five days in the year.
Its coat has turned to rust, and
the once sparkling waters of its
purity are stagnant from disuse
Can you point to a soul in all
this wide world who in all things
does unto others as he would
have others do unto him?
Possibly we, too, are twisting
the tail of the Golden Rule when
we publish this article, for we
are telling others their faults
when we have too many of our
lown-which we often forget.
And yet, we repeat, the Gold
en- Rule is a good rule.
We may not walk steadfastly
in accordance with it's teachings
but we may at least practice ;
portion of that which we preach
We may accord to othars sligh
degree of that which we demant
for ourselves.
We may even trail along in tn
shadow of the Golden Rule
though our steps be falterin,
and our limbs over weary.
For we are but human, and n
human being of today is perfect
Yes, the tail of the Golden Rul
receives many twists, yet it i
the tail that never knows dis
jointment.
