THE GERMANS WARNING AID.
have been thirteen Americans.

nave Deen thirteen Americans.
The tragedy took place about ten
miles off the Old Head of Kinsale. AS
soon as the Lusitania's wireless call
for assistance was received at Queens
town Admiral Coke, in command of
the naval station, dispatched to the
scene all assistance available.
The tugs Warrior. Stormcock and Ju-
liza, together with five trawlers and the
local lifeboat in tow of tug. were
hurried out to sea.
Weather conditions aided in the work
of rescue, but the suddenness with
which the liner plunged to the bottom
of st. Georges channel made it impos-
sible to get off all on board.
From the reports thus far received,
officers and crew acted with the ut
most bravery. In the greatest sea dis
aster since the sinking of the Titanic
they went expeditiously about their
task of getting as many as possible of
the passengers away before the inevi-
table moment when the great hulk
they trod must make its final dive to
destruction
Meanwhile aid had started from a
dozen directions, and soon the boats
were picked up by steam vessels and
smaller craft, But before this hap
pened the stricken liner, with so many
human souls still aboard, had gone
down.
e,
victims there are many Americans, and
in the view of those in authority here
the death of these presents to the Unit
ed States the greatest problem she has
faced during the present war.
Bodies Brought Ashore.
One hundred bodies We're brought
ashore ut Queenstown on the Cunard
wharf from the rescue tug Stormcock
and other steamers. which brought over
600 survivors. 1t is stated that these
persons died of exhaustion while on
their way to Queenstown from the
scene of the disaster The bodies Were
removed to the town hall
When the survivors reached the
wharves doctors and ambulances We're
waiting and pitiful scenes were wit
messed there. There was Il large pro-
portion of women among the arrivals.
Their clothes were soaked With water
They were hatless and shoeless, and
many were unable to walk.
Most of the survivors had suffered
severe injuries to their legs and other
parts of their bodies. and many had to
be placed upon stretchers and removed
TO the quarters which had been spe
cially prepared for them.
What the Captain Says.
CAPTAIN William T. Turner of the
Lusitania expressed no fear for the
safety of his ship when he sailed from
New York.
~ wonder what the Germans will
| do next?" was his only comment when
he read the advertisement sent out by
| the German embassy, warning Ameri.
cans that they sailed at their own
| risk on British ships, which were liza
BILE to destruction in the war zone.
When Captain Turner was questioned
regarding the ship being met off the
Irish coast by British torpedo destroy
ers he replied
"The admiralty never trouble to send
out to meet the Lusitania. They only
look after the ships that are bringing
| the big guns over, like the Orduna anC
the Pennsylvania, last voyage. On the
last eastward trip | uever saw a war

citizens protested at the time against
this nation shouidering the burden,
which meant the necessity Of protect :.
ing them. There was belief freely ex-
pressed that President Mckinley's plan
Of benevolent assimilation" OF the
natives was the essence OF impraeti-
cability and this has since been proved.
Not only did the Mckinley sdministra-
ton take to the scheme With avidity
but SPANS 'tack- pot" was sweetened
With the payment Of s2o,0oo,o00. As
Spain was the defeated nation, the rea-
son for the payment never was made
plain but It presumably was compensa-
ton for the loss OF the Malay archipel-
ago, which had been in continuous re-
hellion for three hundred years. We
took Spain's fight off her hands.
This gets down to our present posi-
ton in the islands We have both a
material and humanitarian interest In
them. We are attempting, and with
some success, to make the islands 1T
for lf-government. We are morally
bound to protect them from outside
aggression. The value OF q treaty. the
present war demonstrates, continues
just go long as there is force behind it
Treaties are not allowed To stand IN
the way of greed. When they do thet
become scraps of paper. The United
States must be prepared TO enforce Ia
rights and protect the Philippines o.
else relinquish all claim. We canno
with moral justification do the latter.

the COST Of mlIltarism increases III Tue
future SO will the cost Of living.
To make clearer my statement that
the poor man has been paying almost
as much toward defraying the expenses
Of the federal government as the rich
man permit me TO correct the impress
sion of the average person that some
part of the taxes he has been paying
to his local tax collector has been sent
to Washington for the purpose OF
maintaining the federal government,
The truth is that not one penny or the
taxes We have been paying our local
tax collectors has come TO Washington.
Every penny of such taxes has gone
toward defraying the expenses OF town
ship, city, county and state. There
fore if a millionaire pays heavy state
tax none of it goes toward defraying
the cost Of the army and navy or main
tanning the federal government The
manner in which the people have been
supporting the army and navy and
meeting all other federal expenses has
been by paying increased prices for
things eaten. worn or used. The local
grocer and dry goods merchant has
been the federal tax collector without
knowing it or without his average GUS
toner knowing It. To the extent that
the average poor man eats the same
amount of food as the rich man he has
been paying as much tax. Funds for
| the maintenance of the army and navy.
as well as all other federal expenses,
| have thus in the past been raised
wholly in the form OF increased cost of
! living
| It is true OF course, that we now have
an income-tax law on the statutes,
and this will help some; but until the
, tax on incomes in excess of $4,000 an
nually is increased much above the
present rates, and until there is a stiff
+ federal fnheritance-taX law, so that
those who derive the greatest benefit
I from military expenditures will bear
the heaviest burden of their cost, as
! they should, the poor man will con-
tinue TO carry the heaviest load in pro-
portion to his ability TO pay, just as he
always has done and just as the stone
In the bottom of the wall bears more
weight than its more fortunate breth-
rem on the top

HUGHES DECLINES.

Associate Justice Hughes of the
United States supreme court Is out in
formal announcement to the secre-
lary of state of Nebraska declining to
permit the use of his name az presi-
Dental candidate before the primaries
Of that state. His statement is sworn
to before notary public and rings
with sincerity.
This action Of Justice Hughes comes
IA ray of light into the encircling
gloom that has shrouded fayorite sons
with increasing density as the days
passed and no definite word as to his
position came.
OF course the decision is not ire
voeabie but il demonstrates that the
+ jurist is not willing to inject himself
into the position. nor TO he made a
cats paw by designing politicians.

Aside from those men who feel that

What Is Migraine?

What is n1igrafne or 'megrim, or
sick headache, as it is variousIy
called? 1t is periodic attack of pain
in the head, usually one-sided, first APP
pearing about the age OF puberty and
continuing more or less until the age
of is, much more common in women
than In men, and. by good authorities,
considered to be the sensory equiv
aient OF motor disease, epilepsy.
Migraine has hereditary factors pre-
cisely like epilepsy. In some families
one child suffers from epilepsy while
another has nigraine.
The attack is ushered in with some
form of aura" or warning symptoms,
much as is the case in an epiIeptic
seizure. either queer, Pickering lights

the nausea and headache develop with

notable fact that lndieanuria, which is

THE MUD BATTERIES OF RE
pUBLICAETSM

Republican newspapers, especially
those Of the party-blind. conservative
type, have prematurely opened the
1915 presidential campaign. They find
themselves in a strange predicament.
They have no idea who will be their
own party nominee Their party is
leaderless ALI in chance. The pro-
gressives refuse to sanction any repub
lican reactionary and the reactionar-
les will not surrender TO the progress
siyes,
They content themselves, therefore,
as says the Springfield Register, with
talking harmony, when, indeed, there
is no such thing as republican haf-
mony. When the fight for the repub-
lican nomination SINNERS down it will
be a terrific one. The conflicting opin
ions Of progressives and conservatives
cannot be reconciled.
The republican newspapers are
agreed upon only one political point.
They know that Woodrow Wilson will
be the democratic nominee. Hence the
general attack upon him. Misrepre-
sentation OF President Wilson is used
to fill columns OF republican newspa-
pers. which fear to express their con-
victions relative to the various repub-
Iiesn sspirants.
With the denomination Of President
Wilson universally conceded if makes
the president not only the object Of ap-
plause from ali who periodically sup
port the nations chief through critical
International crises. but the object of
attack from party mad opponents who
wish, for political reasons. to draw
attention from the great good the pres
ident Ia accomplishing. Smallest faults
discovered in the administration are
being made the subject of full page
criticisms.
The very character Of the criticism
launched against the administration is
creditable to President Wilson, how
ever. Those criticisms show the des-
peration Of republicans They have
found that their attacks upon the Will
son Mexican policy have met with pop
ular disapproYal. The people, like the
president. did not want war of in
PREVENTION with its wholesale slaugh-
ter of American boys and its colossal
cost in gold as we'll as blood and life.
They have found that their criticisms
of President Wilson for standing firmly
for a peace policy with the warning
nations of Europe have reacted to the
honor Of the president and dishonoT
TO those attacking him through these
grave crises. So the resort of gross
Misrepresentation
! Democrats welcome this early open
! ing of the campaign. They can stand
( it. So can President Wilson. There
+ is an abundance of time to answer
There is an abundance of proof that
no president has been confronted witt
more giant problems than Presiden
! Wilson, and that no executive has han.
1 died big problems more periodically
ably courageoRsly, conscientious!
and successfully than has Woodrow
! Wilson,
! Criticisms conceived in petty parti
sanship and brought forth in party
blind selfshness cannot. as the Regis
ter concludes, hurt Woodrow Wilson.

GOVERNMENT PLANTS CHEAPEST

not do the same And by the same
token. considering the bids submitted,
the private plants should not be given
an opportunity Is build the dread
noughts.
Why the government should pay
them exorbitant prices for this work is
not plain and it is up to the democrats
in congress who have control Of this
matter to see that the most economical
bargain is secured.
Naval officials are now studying the
figures. Just why they should require
IA great amount Of study is not known
and just why the government should
pay two prices for what it purchases
is mystery.
