disparagingly of the submarine, and
it has been explained by students of
the German navy that his motive was
to keep the interest of the country
centered on battleships-the less ex-
pensive adjuncts could be added later.
Something of this feeling is natural in
every navy, and early in the war re-
ports were sent out from Washington
evidently for the express purpose Of
warning the public that the sub
marine had not yet displaced the
battle fleet. For the taxpayer to be
interested in cheap substitutes is as
natural as for the navalist to be
ANXIOUS about the things which cost
most and which suffer most from re-
trenchment. Mahan's view has been
kept paramount that the main bust
ness of a. fighting feet is to fight; and
that speed should be supordinated to
striking strength. 1t is theory
which contemplates superiority of
strength, and therefore commits a
nation most deeply to naval compe-
tition, but it has been the theory on
which the fleet has been built up, and
it should be held in great measure re-
sponsible for the DEFICIENCIES of which
admiral Fiske speaks. 1t was the
theory, moreover of naval experts:
the man in the street would have been
much more likely to favor fast ships
which could at least get away, even
if confronted by a superior force The
war has put new emphasis on speed
and demonstrated the value of sub
marines, but these are just the lessons
which the public does not need to be
taught If reform is needed 1t is
within the navy itself.

Wall Street. and the War.
New York WorId.)

"The moneyed interests Of this
country says the Federated Labor
Union manifesto to worklngmen, lied
by INSCRIPTIONS Wall Street sharks,
spectators. gamblers and adventur-
ers, are scheming, conspiring and
using every effort to get the United
States enbroiled in the terrible blood
letting of Europe" @
This will be news to the Sharks,
spectators, gamblers and adventure
ers" They had supposed that Wall
Street was the least warl1ke corner Of
the country. Wall street, in fact, has
had enough war. The stick exchange
attempt to keep open hardly lasted
until war was declared. Savings
banks as early as August were or
dered to demand sixty days notice of
Withdrawals Clearing mouse certifi-
Gates were voted the same day.
Thousands Of employees were soon
thrown out Of work Otfices were
given UP to save rent. Seats were
unstable. There was no moratorium,
but a tacit understanding prevented
pressure.
Wall street stayed asleep four
months. It rubbed it's eyes Novem Der
rs, when the Exchange was open two
hours for the restricted sale of bonds.
It yawned and stretched two weeks
later. when restricted stock dealings
were also allowed. It really woke up
in January, after the worst five
nj nths Of it's history, during which
substantial fortunes had melted like
snow in April.
Wall Street doesn't nina a little war
say in the Balkans-that makes
trading lively. It no more desires a
great world war than does any other
Of the thousands Of thoroughfares
which this terrible blood letting" has
turned into streets of sorrow. Least
| of all is Wall Street anxious to see us
| plunged into the conflict

At the rate the war is claiming victims England, Russia, France and Germany will soon become manless nations. The death rate has been appalling, and in England and France many economists believe that polygamy will be the ultimate result. All the strong, virile men have gone to the wars, and the crop Is being harvested-cripples, imbeciles and broken down men returning to their homes by the thousands. What the result will be cannot be foretold by even the most enlightened, but the cost has already far exceeded the gains, and only the stubborn pride of the rulers of those countries prolongs a senseless conflict.

WHY THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED.

For one I am tired of the revolu- tionists who call themselves Ere formers" I am weary of men who would pull down our system of gov- ernment in order to correct evils which lie beyond the utmost power of the wisest legislators and the most skillfully framed legislation. I can not follow men who know no way to get the rats out of the barn except by burning it to the ground. What we need is not more probings but more piety, not revolution but religion. It is not big business but bad business that we should fear, and we will have bad business by individuals and cor porations despite congresses and courts until the nation is Christian in fact as we'll as in name.-Bishop Warren A. Candler of Georgia.

In this year of our lord we cannot see where civilization has advanced much beyond that of the thirteenth century. Thousands of people gath cred in an Illinois town yesterday the Lords day-to see a black soul sped to its maker by the strong arm of the law. Whether the man was guilty of the most disgusting crime on the statute books is not argued here; the fact that so many people could be found to gloat in the suffer- ings of another human being is un- believable. Public executions are never beneficial, because the fear of the law is lost sight of by morbid curiosity. The crowd wanted to see the death penalty administered and paid no heed to the lesson supposed to be taught. It Is a fearful thing, a horrible, vulgar exhibition of hum an frailty that should not repeated.

DEMOCRATS FINISH
 UNDER A GUARD
Major Hyde Nominated Democratic Candidate for Mayor by Small
 Majority-Party Disrupted.

CHARLESTON, s. C., Oct. 1S.- The excitement which followed the fatal shooting of two newspapermen and wounding of several others dur ing the canvass of the votes in the municipal primaries here Saturday, has subsided and the city is under military guard.
 The completed canvass shows that Major Hyde has been nominated the Democratic candidate for the mayor alty by a small majority. It is feared that the fatal shooting has disrupted the Democrats in this state, as the factions are about of equal strength and will prevent their candidate from being elected. The election will be held next month and it is feared that further bloodshed will result as the fatal shooting has caused old cuarrels to be revived.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE 0R NO. CHILDREN
Bearer of San Francisco Request to Congress, Says Motherhood be
 Denied Until Vote Granted.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 18.- Mrs. Sarah Bradfield, who will be the bearer of the San Francisco petition to congress urging the administration to favor the national suffrage amend ment, has announced that many of the women of California have decid- ed to deny themselves the privilege of motherhood until they receive the right to vote at all elections.
 Mrs. Bradfield says she does not expect President Wilson to favor the national amendment, although he has announced that he will vote for wom- an suffrage in New Jersey next Mon- day. She declares that while the question of "cradle lodging" as it has been termed by the California press was not officially acted upon at the recent convention in San Fran cisco that hundreds of the delegates to the convention are working in their states to gain advocates to the plan which it is believed will force from congress.

Passing of a Pioneer.

The passing of A. c. Brown, through accidental killing by his son, ends the career of one of the few oldtimers of Alaska. Brown was born at Wrangell, Alaska, some 52 years ago, and resided in the land of his nativity until his tragic death a few weeks ago. In his early man. hood days, he was an agent or factor for the Alaska Commercial company, a rich concern which held dominion in the Northland for long period the American occupation. While in charge of station at Ista- lick, he heroically rescued the crew of the S. s. c. G. White, which was wrecked off Kodiak in the fall of 'SS. and received therefor a special re- ward from the U. s. government. This is said to have been the most daring rescue in the history of the Inlet Pioneer.
