If the land surface of the earth,
which is about 100000 square
miles, were divided into four equal
parts, one of these parts would rep
resent the British Empire. Another
one with probably quarter of itself
shaved off would represent the Rus
sian Empire. A third one, likewise
with a quarter shaved off, would rep
resent the combined Chinese and
French republican empires" each of
these great states being approx
mately equal in size. The two shaved
off quarters would represent roughly
America and Brazil. If the remain
ing section is divided into thirteen
or fourteen equal parts, one of these
would represent the German Empire
and Austria-Hungary, and one Italy.
Thirteen German Empires and
Austria Hungarys rolled into one
would represent the size of the British
Empire; between eight and nine of
them the Russian Empire; while be-

Some Or Weather!

The weather seems achangin', you
have noticed it, no doubt,
Instead of havin' summer, we've had
winter hereabout,
With frost ahangin' DER the land, a
blanket cold and drear,
Which makes our gettin' up at dawn
thing for US to fear,
For its not an easy thing to do to
hustle out of bed
And put your feet upon a floor which
is solid ice, instead
Of bein' warm and comfy, as it ought
to be in June
With the sun ashinin' brightly and
everything in tune.
And you go about your duties with
collar turned up high,
And shiver in the shadows, though
you've woolens on your thigh,
For with the sun shut clean from
view with clouds mile thick
And wind awhistling from the north
acomin' with kick.
You've got to bundle up a bit and
start the furnace goin',
And hug the CRATE, in spite of June,
to keep the blood afowin'
Now, Pm not cronic kicker, and I'm
not fussy chap,
But when it's summer weather with
trees arunnin' sap,
Why l like to see it summer, with
everything all green,
And | hate to have cold weather

The Kaiser's AnslOer.

Everybody has an opinion about
the German reply to President Will
sons note about the Lusitania. Yet
very few knew enough to give cor
rect, intelligent version of the fact,
in the case. Ask any German
American what he thinks and he I'M
mediately answers, at could not
have been different" Ask an Ameri-
can and he says it is not enough. To
correctly analyze the Lusitania case
seems very simple in the face OF the
taking of SO many innocent lives OF
neutrals. Looking at this concrete
fact and there semes to be no answer
except that of wanton crulety. And
it was indeed a cruel thing to do.
Only fool would deny that. If there
be justification; if there be warrant
for the act, it will be established. 1t

heard all. If Germany comes for
ward and backs up her charge that
the Lusitania was armed; if she es-
tablishes this as a fact, there we
have another view of the case, and
the only possible justification that
Germany could present. On the
other hand, if it is proven by undis-
putable facts that the Lusitania did
not carry cannon below or above
decks, Germany must, and no doubt
will, make amends.
But without an investigation,
searching and convincing, no final de-
cree can be established, either by
Germany or the United States. The
crux of the Lusitania incident lies In
Germany's source of information re-
garding armament, and in the United
States being able to disprove the
formers claim.
In the light of these circumstances,
the American people may with every
assurance and confidence, rest their
case in the hands of President Will
son. He will do the right thing and
the fair thing, both by his people
and Germany. All the talk of war
with Germany may be scincere-it is
scincere-but nobody wants it, ex-
cept in the cause of truth and justice
to America first and humanity next
America does not demand war, but
it must exact the fair deal for al
nations including itself.

Way to Permant Peace. .

step in the prevention of war the
abolition of anything like efforts to
establish special spheres of influence.
and to take steps toward the inter
naturalization for trade purposes of
all the regions seized since, say 1880;
IN other words, to put all nations in
these regions on an absolute equality
as to trade and exploitation. This
was accomplished for Morocco by the
convention between Germany and
France signed on November 4, 1911.
by which complete equality of treat
ment was established, and not only
that, but all disputes were to be
settled by arbitration. All this was
done, be it said, while Mr.. LLOYD
George and the London "Times" were
talking war in the most infammatory
way over the Agadir incident.

what exists in large degree in all
British and German colonies. NAV

Versal peace, be applied by inter
national arrangement to all the re-
gions seized since 1880. We should
thus have Manchuria, Mongolia

German Africa Gncluding Egypt,

All logic is with the proposition.
All will grant that trade has always
been and remains the great civilizer.
the great missioner. For trade, all
roads, steamships, and railways exist;
without it nations would have re-
manned in darkest ignorance and saw
agery. Thus being the great and
beneficent thing it is, the greatest
lever in the uplift of mankind, the
spreader of light and Christianity, it
stands to reason that it is the grea-
est of errors to put trammels in its
way.-Rear-Admiral F. E. Chadwick,

The Unrest of the Stars

According to the theory of astrolo-
gists the world is now passing
through a period of terror, war, suf-
fering and death This is not a
theory but a fact. One does not
have to look at the stars or to think
of them. 1t is enough to know that
the deuce is to pay generally. Any
nation that butts into the present
cycle of warning elements is more
than liable to get its head cracked
so hard it will see stars. Stars be
hanged. What has the psychology
of foolishness to do with a condition?
Stars have been moving in their
orbits for the past forty-five years,
as they have for millions of years
before. If the astrologers were so

for this conflict in 1871, why didn't

President Wilson has again tapped
Mexico on the wrist. This time it
was with the sharp edge of the fer
rule. He has heretofore raped for
order, but now he will maintain it.
How long the resent state of anarchy

If left to themselves the misled MeXi

utterly without reason. They thrive
on one thing alone: fighting. 1t is
fight for breakfast, dinner and sup
per. In their present condition MeXi
cans are people without hope-or
soap. They need tons of the latter
with which to wash both their faces
and morals.
President Wilson occupies at this
moment a far more powerful posi-
ton than last year when he captur
ed Vera Cruz. He cannot now be
handicapped by fractions European
powers. They have troubles of their
own. The most potent argument
this country can present to Mexico
will be to shut off her supplies
There isn't much left of anything in
the land of the Montezumas at this
time. The country could not raise
enough supplies to feed it's people
but for the United States. 1t is in
an awful, chaotic mess, with the only
ray of light in the heavens the one
which President Wilson has just sent

SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1915
Suffrage and Colorado

The publication of a statement
proporting to be from a suffrage
leader in Colorado the day following
the recent election in that state in
no wise lessons the interest in he
facts because the next day brought
a denial. The first statement was
to the effect that suffrage in Colorado
was failure. The denial came later.
But the mere denial does not prove
anything. The trouble is that the
women contend against the posi-
bility of dissension or difference in
their own ranks, when that very
point is their greatest stumbling
block. They are now after the vote
to which they are entitled. What they
will do with it has been answered
in Colorado. The light vote there is
laid at the door Of very petty ex-
cuse-a rainy day! What woman
would let rain hold her back with a
theater ticket in her pocket? Be-
cause the women of Colorado did not
stand together is no less logical than
that men will not stand together. No
need to feel disappointed, ladies, be-
cause you can't hold your crowd to
one mind. That is an old complaint
with political organizers. Col.
Rruan anI Ga1 pancnxo1+ IL
stand together ON the subject of
peace. Party voters stand together
in the minority, but in the majority
it is always another way.
The women should not be discour-
aged. Colorado has been long enough
in the suffrage column to make a
woman's party neither a novelty nor
a necessity. The women there now
hold office, and they are like the men
IN that they cannot please everybody
who votes for them. The women do
not all think alike on the suffrage
question. In fact, it looks like the
majority of women are against it.
But this is no argument against the
right of equal suffrage. The best
thing about the Colorado election for
the suffrage workers is that it will
stimulate them to renewed effort, pro-
vided they do not use that most in
eXpedient of all methods, militancy.
The failure of suffrage in Colorado,
if it has failed, does not prove wo-
mans lack of right to suffrage. The
biggest point is, will they be bene
fitted if they get the vote? 1t does
not appear that many really import
ant things have been done by suf
frage yet, but that is no reason why
good may not be done. The entry
of women in politics, however, is
their greatest Encouragement. 1t is
dead sure to rip up many a home tie
and destroy many a home tradition.
But as for disagreements, nothing
can prevent this. Republicans, Demo-
Gratis, Progressives, Socialists, Metho-
dists, Baptists, Episcopalians, social
justice advocates, efficiency experts
and uplifters have failed to stand to-
gether. Even Billy Sunday finds OPP
position So it will be with women
and suffrage. Colorado's polyglot
politics cannot cast any reflection on
the women voters there, even if the
latter do not stand together. The
New York state suffragists are al
ready divided into two classes, in the
very midst of their campaign, the
nagging and the working classes.

THE OUTSIDER OFTEN
THE MAN YOU NEED
By Ebert Hubbard

When | was a farmer lad l noticed

and turned her into the pasture with
the herd there was a general inclin-

make the new cow think she had land

They would hook her away from
the salt, chase her from the water,
and the longed horned ones, would
lose no opportunity to give her Wig
orous digs, poks and prods.
With horses it was quite the same.
And | remember one pirticular little
black mare that we boys used to
transfer from one pasture to another
just to see her back into herd of
horses and hear her hoofs play re
sounding solo on their ribs as they
gathered around to do her mischief.

The process is said to impart to
liquors the same properties which
they acquire by being kept for a NUM-

wine is placed in a special receptacle
fitted with two tubes called burgers"
and the tubes are charged with high
tension electricity at from $4,000 to
10000 volts. The result is that all
the bacteria, ferments and impurities
collect in the tubes and are removed
and all further fermentation is STOP

the cost is less than TWO cents per
100 gallons. Similar experiments are
now being made with beer and essen

BIGDEMAND FOR
WOMEN WORKERS
IN BRITAIN now

LONDoN.-Owing to active re.
cruiting, the shortage of men in the
labor market has become more acute
and has greatly increased the demand
for women and young girls as sub
stitutes. Practically every one ca
pable of working, says the Board OF
Trade Labor Gazette, has an oppor-
tunity of being employed, and it is
evident that still larger numbers of
women and girls not previously en-
ployed in trade and industry are re-
quired in many occupations.
Compared with October, 1914, there
was a general improvement, especial
ly marked in industries engaged in
supplying the requirements of the
forces.
War bonuses and increases in
wages taking effect in October affect
ing 10000 workpeople amounted to
about $4,000 a week.
There is a general scarcity of col
liery workers, farm hands and nav
yies, and the demand for work people
is still greatly in excess of the sup
ply in engineering and shipbuiiding
trades. Shortages are reported in
the glass, chemical, building and met
al trades. and with regard to women,
tho demand for textile workers is
still unsatisfied.
