A NATIONS SANITY

An American ship has been torpe-
doed and American lives have been
lost. Apparently the destruction
was the work of German submar-
inc The American note to Germany
at the time of the declaration of Ger
many's submarine war stated that
the United States would hold Ger
many to strict accountability for the
destruction Of American lives and
property.
Yet the American nation shows no
symptom of losing the poise which
has been maintained since the begin
ming of the war. Jingoism has never
lain more quiet. The destruction of
the Frye by the Eitel Friedrich Caus-
ed not a ripple of indignation. The
people were not stirred to wrath by
the British order in council against
neutral shipping. Germany's sub
marine war caused no outburst of in
dignation.
The reasons for this composure are
two, and they are not far to seek.
In the first place the American peo-
pie contemplate with detestation any
suggestion that they may be embroil-
ed in Europe's war. And the second
reason for calmness is the confidence
which is universally placed in the
wisdom and ability of the admins
tration at Washington.
The details of he Gul1ight incident
are not vet known. When they are
known the American government
will act. Germany, if held to strict
accountability, may make full repair
alton. There are many possibilities
and the American public will wait
with patience, assured that in the end
the proper course will be followed by
their government-Plain Dealer.

Despite the fight put up by City
Solicitor Scarlett against the Behne
bill before the legislature, the COM
mittee has reported favorably on the
bill and the likelihood seems to be
that the measure will pass. The
certainty also seems to be that Gov
ernor Willis will sign it as it is back
ed by the lawyers who are a part of
the Willis invisible machine. This
bill, it will be recalled, is a blow aim
ed at municipal ownership. It will
not only prevent the development of

Boss Bin Barnes of New York state
has sued Boss Teddy Roosevelt for
$4,000. Teddy called Bill a Boss
and a bad one Bill got mad Now
both are in court and telling of the
rotteness of politics. The evidence
shows how the republicans carried
elections by making deals with Boss
Murphy a Democrat. They are tell
ing how much money il took, and
who gave ii to carry elections for the
republicans. This is the first time
that the real truth, together with
the names and amounts in dollars,
has ever been made public.

The mess Willis has made Of
things is due to his policy of keeping
off his hands and putting in his feet
BY passing the Mcfarland bill to
create an advisory agricultural COM
mission the house has made a farce
and a fake out Of the SmithMallow
agricultural ripper If the McFar-
land bill becomes law II will create
again conditions as they We're before
the ripper was passed. The advisory
board is to be composed Of the secre-
tary of the State Board Of Agricul-
ture, the dean OF the agricultural col
lege, and the director of the Ohio eX-
pertinent station, The point is made
that they are TO serve without pay
on the advisory board, but they re-
ceive pay for the qualifying positions
they hold just as they do now.
