Hints at Future Reprisals.

Faced with this situation, his ma
jesty's government considers it would
be altogether unreasonable that Great
Britain and her allies should be ex-
pected to remain indefinitely bound, to
their grave detriment. by rules and
principles of which they recognize the
justice if impartially observed as be-
tween belligerents, but which are at
the present moment openly set at de-
fiance by their enemy.
IF, therefore, his majesty'S govern
ment should hereafter feel constrained
to declare foodstuffs absolute contra
band or take other measures for inter-
fering with German trade by way OF
reprsals, they confidently expect that
such action will not be challenged on
the part of neutral states by appeals to
laws and usa ges of war whose validity
rests on their forming an integral part
of that system of international doc
trine which, as a whole, their enemy
frankly boasts the liberty and intention
to disregard, SO long as such neutral
states cannot compel the German gov
ernment to abandon methods of war
fare which have not in recent history
been regarded as having the sanction
of either law or humanity"

The Machine and the Monster

TIC 1V1dOlll11C
Hon. James Bryce, formerly Minister for Great
Britain at Washington in his Social Institutions in
the United States says:
Nothing in recent history suggests that the statesmen
who claim be party leaders the politicians who
party managers disposed either lessen the grip with
which their organization has casped the country
prove the methods employs The machine will be
formed from withn-t must be assaicd from without"
These words of the foremost foreign writer on
American affairs do not make pleasant reading, but
candidly are they not absolutely true? Since the
question of human slavery was settled half CEN
fury ago. the people of the several states have been
in death grapple with machine politics.
The Tammany machine in New York, the Pen
machine in Pennsylvania the Cox machine in
Ohio, not to mention Others have imposed upon these
states political tyranny than that which Eng
land inflicted the 13 colonies. That the people are
aroused to sense of this is evident from the
Progressive upheava which disrupted the Republican
party two years ago and which all but disrupted the
Democratic party. Although progressivsm as par
tisan policy is doubtless less strong than it was, pro-
pressivism spirit Of revolt against partisan tyr
amy and machine rule is more potent than ever be-
fore.
Barnes Penrose Murphy and Sullivan are still
seeking to retain control of the local and state party
machines but they fast losing their grip What
power they retain is chiefly the result Of alliances
with the decadent forces of liquor Liquor has
opened them its chest and furnishes them with
the nucleus OF their organization.
The stronghods of liquor the large cities, and
these cities likewise the strongholds of the
political boss. What could Murphy do without New
York city or Penrose without Philadelphia? The
saloonkeeper the grating contractor and the ward
heller the spokes in the wheel of which the polit
cal boss is the hub and their field of operation is the
city.
THE machine will not be reformed from Within"
says Mr.. Bryce. Quite true And the liquor monster
will not loose his hold the machine until COM
