Back of the Deed blame the war
Is the Thought" on Heinrich Won
Treitschke Ger
man philosopher who Was born in
1884 and died in 1895. AS he has
been dead for 19 years it is perfectly
safe to place the blame upon him be-
cause he is in no condition to deny
the charge.
Far fetched as it may seem there
is considerable ground for blaming
Treitschke. He was a philosopher
and historian OF great strength and
influence. He believed in German ex-
pansion and taught hatred OF Eng
land. He believed in German ad-
vancement through the path Of mill
tarism and it is undoubtedly true that
his teachings made a profound i'm
preston on German thought with the
result that wonderful progress was
made in a military way looking for
ward TO Der Tag" the day when
Germany would fight again.
The absurd feature Of English cri
ticism Of Germans for following Treit-
schke is the fact that the English did
the same thing Britain has been as
strong for rule by the sword as has
Germany. the only difference being
that the English strength has been.
concentrated in her navy while Ger
many has relied mostly upon her
armies. 1t would appear that the in
fluence OF Treitschke has been almost
as marked upon England as upon Ger
many and the whole situation is a
remarkable tribute 10 the power OF
an idea when that idea is held and
forcibly expressed by an able man.

There are indications Of a memor-
able battle over the ship purchase

Is Opposed. say thes will put II
through when the
time for voting arrives.
Certain republicans are vehemently
opposing the measure and here is
Senator Burton. who headed the fill
buster against the rivers and harbors
bill. saying he is prepared to talk for
10 days against the ship purchase
In other words they are making ready
to use black hand measures against
the bill.
What Burton wants instead Of a
ship purchase bill is subsidy under
which the government would give
money outright to private parties He
would like to have them do that and
still leave the shipping interests free
to charge exorbitant prices because OF
the lack of ships. In the event Of
war and the merchant ships should
be needed by the government it would
be necessary to pay the private own
ers for them even after they had
been subsidized.
The ship purchase bill is so plainly
meritorious and the need Of just that
relief is so unquestionable that there
can be no solid ground for the oppo-
sition. The only plea made against
it is that it is government ownership
That objection counts for nothing
The postoffice is government owned
including the parcels post The Pa
mama canal is government owned, the
Alaska railroad viii be government
owned.
The only real objection to the bill
is that it will interfere with some very
fat picking by a few private shipping
combinations.

spective of the sympathies of the countries
concerned. 1t is of primary Importance to
Greece that Turkey in Europe be partitioned
and IL is, just as important that she should
share in the division. The accretions OF ter
ritory resulting from the war with Turkey
cannot be considered permanent until Turkey
has been driven into Asia But the German
cause is absolutely tied up to the continuance
OF Moslem rule in Europe. The success of
Germany would be the success of Turkey,
and Turkish possession of Stamboul is a
pistol leveled at Athens.
Italy likewise sees no possibility of the
achievement of her national ambition unless
Austria is humbled Her status in Tripuli,
too depends on the defeat of Turkey What
ever strings there are tying her to Germany
must be cut, because Berlin has as active
allies the two Powers which stand in Italy's
way.
With Venezeos demanding war for Greece
and the Italian deputies voting enormous
war credits, there can be no longer any
doubt OF the intention of either nation. Both

Legalized Extortion Is Knocked Out

NlHE loan shark is appropriately named.
L Why the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
consented TO legaze his nefarious eXtortons
It is not easy to understand. The decision
of the Supreme Court that the validating law
of 1913 is unconstitutional makes the loan
shark usurer and punishable under the
general statute against charging eXorbitant
rates of interest
This law, which has been thus upset. per-
mitted the money lenders to charge 46 per
cent interest, that when once an unfor-
tunate man got into their power he would
have TO pay sum almost equal to his debt
every two years without decreasing the
amount of the principal. No law should ever
make it possible for any man to take ad-
vantage of the unfortunate in such an OPP
pressive manner. Lcgalized eXtorton is not
what we want in this Commonwealth.

HEINE ON THE PRUssIAN EAGLE

From the London Chronicle.
Hene (about whom, in spite of the professors
there was no kultur) hated Prussia and Prus-
sianism, and some of his bitterest satire and
invectvs were directed, were hurled against
this evil spirit that he saw In the making. In
his Germany he apostrophized the Prussian
eagle thus:
Detestable bird! II e'er thou shouldst fan
In my hands, thou creature perfldlous,
would tear thy feathers from Off thy back,
And hack off thy talons hideous
then would stick thee high up on a pole
In the air, thou wicked freebooter,
And then 10 the joyful shooting match
Invite each Rhenish sharpshOoter.
The verses were erased from the original edi-
ton by the censors In these more civilized
days his reward would probably have been

NATIONS DUTY OF PREPARATION

From President Monroe's Message to Congress- 1922
Sustaining our neutral position and allowing
TO each party while the war continues equal
rights it is incumbent on tho United States to
claim of each with equal rigor the faithful OBJ
servation of our rights according to the we'll
known law of nations. p The history OF
the late wars in Europe furnishes n complete
demonstration that no system of conduct how
ever correct in principle protect neutral
Powers from injury from any party; that a
defenseless position and distinguished love OF
peace are the surest invitations to war and
that there is no way to avoid it other than by
being always prepared and willing for lust
cause to meet It, If there be a people on earth
whose more especial duty II Is to be at all times
prepared to defend the rights with which they
are blessed and to surpass all others in sus-
tanning the necessary burthens, and in sub
mittinG to sacrifices to make such prepara-
tions, II Is undoubtedly the people of these
States. II has often been charged
against free Governments that they have
neither the foresight nor the virtue TO provide
at the proper season for great emergencies;
that their course is impTovldent and extensive:
that war will always find them unprepared and
whatever may be its calamities that its ter
rlble warnings will be disregarded and for
gotten as soon as peace returns. l have full
confidence that this charge so far as relates
to the United States will be shown 10 be nj
terly destitute OF truth,

Six Times Enough
When daylight broke, the cameras became
active. Women who lived their entire lives
in nelghborhood knew that certain men did
not reside in nearby houses Toward noon
the same faces were under changed
hats or even another coat Disguises became
frequent large number of photographs
were taken during the day The election otIi-
GERS protested, told the women that it was
against the law, but not once did they sue
ceed in preventing the photograph from be-
ing made.
An amusing incident occurred in Precinct
\, of the notorious 9Th Ward, the heart of
the Tenderon a woman watcher ap-
preached Jack Hines, ward leader, and ono
of the men who has confessed and said
THAT man has voted six times" HAS he?'
asked the saoon-dive keeper. well, I'll put
a stop to that. Six times is enough for any
body to vote"
The same man worked clever trick on the
women watchers. Later in the day he be-
came very friendly. He paid particular at
tention to the woman who had the polbook.
He would glance at the book while she was
making notation ticking a voter and see
retire, and in few minutes men with these
names would appear to vote In this manner
he managed 10 vote his complete compile
ment-sOme go Illegal voters In the precinct,
without a protest This story Is a part of
his confession.
That night 400 women retired with
sCiousness that something had been accom-
plished They had been witnesses to the
thugSery at the polls had seen honest voters
beaten and others prevented from voting;
they had seen the officers of the Superior
Court fired at; they had seen and marked tho

Samuel Bowles, Honest Man

WHETHER the dead can communicate
w with the living is disputed question
But we all cherish a fond hope that when we
have passed on we may continue to know
what is happening on the earth. Assuming
that there is basis for the hope. few of the
dead can contemplate tho work of those
whom they have left behind with greater
satisfaction than must he felt by samuel
Rowles. who founded the Republican in
Springfield. Massachusetts, in the early years
of the last century. The paper has re-
mained in the family for three generations.
and with the death on Sunday of Samuel
Bowles the third, it passes into the hands of
the fourth generation of the same family.
But it is not this continuity of journalistic
lllxlngs that is remarkable, but the continuity
of high journalistic standards. Samuel
Bowles. the second, inherited his ideals from
his father and he developed them to such
state of perfection that, although Springfield
was small city. his newspaper was known
throughout the United States for the distn-
guished ability with which it was conducted
and for the high sense of public response
bility which animated 1t.
The Samuel Bowlcs who has Just died
maintained the traditions of his father and
his grandfather, His paper was the daily
Bible for large section of eastern New Eng
land. He went to his reward with the con-
seriousness that lie never betrayed the public
for the sake of gold. but always served ii to
the best of his ability.
