Ask Disarmament Of NORWAY

Chirstiania, Norway.-Complete dis
armament for Norway is called for in
bill which has been introduced in
parliament by the socialist faction of
that body. This measure asks the
government to frame and pass as soon
as possible a resolution or bill pro-
Viding for the abandonment of the
whole army and navy. 1t also asks
that all treaties between Norway and
other countries, which might possibly
be hindrance to complete disarma-
ment' be either alteaed or replaced BY
new treaties, and that treaties proyid-
ing for arbitration in all controversial
questions be secured with all foreign
nations.
This bin is in accordance with the
program Of the Norwegian socialist
party, which during the last election
advocated disarmament irrespective
of whether other nations would dis
arm or not Since the socialists con-
troll only one-third of the assembly
the bin now pending will not be passed
this session, but if they should gel
control of parliament at the next
election, bill Of this nature undoubt-
ly would be passed and become law.

WILSON'S STRENGTH.

Democrats have felt much gratifed
at the evidence furnished by recent
polls at the strength which President
Wilson has shown. At the recent
Chicago primary election, for in
stance, as The Argus has before stat
ed, President Wilson received 1888
votes while the combined votes for
Sherman, Roosevelt, Hughes, Root and
Thompson was 1858, about 5000
more votes for Wilson, democrat, than
for the republicans named, combined
Similar popularity of President VIII
son is shown elsewhere. In one Of
the Minnesota districts at the recent
primary election 5,231 votes were cast
for Wilson, whereas the republican
vote was, Cummins, 2,943; Estabrook,
1910; Webster 400-total 1853. leav-
ing the president a majority of CTS.
IN Wisconsin at the recent primary
in the city Of Milwaukee, the president
received q, 600 votes and about $4,000
votes in Milwaukee county. The total
vote polled for the president was near
ly as large as the combined votes cast
for LaFollette and Phillips, candi-
dates for delegates at large to the re-
publican national convention. Henry
c. Campbell, editor of the Milwaukee
Journal, in writing to Secretary Tu-
multy, characterizes the showing as
remarkably good.
Republicans who are comforting
themselves with the forced belief that
President Wilson is losing his popular
thy with the American voters and that
the g o. p. is going to win at the No
Vember elections are riding to a fall.
The primary elections in every section
OF the country, Notwithstanding there
is no democrat against Mr.. Wilson for
president, are furnishing evidence that
the voters go to the polls to vote
preference for Wilson and that the
popularity Of the president is increas-
ing rather than diminishing, and indi-
cate that no candidate the republi-
cans can pick out, not even Roosevelt
or Hughes, will be able to defeat him.

London Skies Are Clearing.

London, April. - The increasing
clearness Of the atmosphere in London
is noticed by Professor F. j. Brodie OF
the Royal Microscopical society in a
book just published on the Incidence
of Bright Sunshine Over the United
Kingdom During the Past Thirty
Years"
There has been great abatement
Of the smoke evil, he says, owing 10
the regulations affecting factories, to
the improvements in the construction
Of domestic fire places, and to the
largely increased use Of gas for cook
ing and heating purposes. The air IN
London, he shows, has in recent years
become much clearer and the duration
of sunshine, more particularly IN ths
winter months. has steadily increased
At all the stations in the British Isles
where regular observations are made
there is a steady tendency toward IN
crease in the amount OF bright sun
shine. The increase in London is taF
greater than at the two nearest say
urban stations. oxford. in the Thames
valley, and Hastings. on the coast. The
number of foggy days registered SHOWS
steady decrease.

PROTECTING FIENDS.

A bright and attractive 1o-year-old
girl was assaulted and murdered in
Topeka, Kan, Tuesday and the feel
ing was so strong against the man
accused OF the crime that he had to be
taken from the local Jail secretly and
spirited away to prevent his lynching
at the hands of the mob. A good deal
is said about the way the mob ad-
ministers justice in the south but
there are certain offenses that are
equally repugnant to all sections Of the
country-to Kansas no less than Geor-
gia 1t is worth noting that Kansas
has abolished capital punishment and
yet it required the utmost vigilance on
the part of the authorities to prevent
the people in their original capacity
from meeting out extreme punishment
to this human brute. Manifestly the in
habitants of the capital city of the state
did not take the same view Of crime as
did the legislators who took the main
terror from the law. The legislature
made very serious mistake and such
an offense as this shows it only toe
clearly. The murderer Of this little girl
should be made to pay the death PEN
atty, not by a mob but by due and
prompt process of law. The judgment
Of enlightened mankind can name nc
punishment short of death that meets
such a case. The spectacle of this
tender child lying in her grave, hel
life choked out by the hands of a coarse
wretch, while the state of Kansas is
feeding and clothing this wretch and
watching over and protecting him il

Under the direction of Secretary
Daniels, the government is manufac-
turing smokeless powder for "a cents
a pound. Prices paid the powder trust
ranged from so to so cents.
AS a result OF an investigation insti-
tuted by Secretary Daniels. more than
a million dollars was saved ON one

Secretary Daniels has applied in the
case Of the officers of the navy the
regulations regarding liquor that the
officers applied in the case Of the men
Secretary Daniels has made the
navy university and by SO, doing has
made it possible for more enlisted men
to become officers.
When Secretary Daniels took charge
Of the navy there was an average OF
LOO men in prison. Now the average
has decreased to 700 and the discipline
is better. There are more men reen-
listing in the navy now than there
have beed for years.
But that is not all of the story
There is another fact that must not be
forgotten. 1t is this: Secretary Daniels
is the most ridiculed, most bitterly
maligned head of the navy department
in the history of the country.

Typhoid Is an Accident

water furnished by his employer.

sible for the accident, under the law.

to fix responsibility for this filth dis

'THE NAVY LEAGUE UNMASKED'

be the cost of living. If the cost of
living continues to grow larger than
the increase in wages it is likely that
there will be greater danger of trouble
within the republic than from abroad.
Although it has been shown that the
United States has been able to produce
war material "a per cent cheaper than
private concerns, we have officers in
the army and navy that prefer to buy
of those concerns than have the gov
eminent manufacture them.
There are retired officers Of the army
and navy, drawing $4,000 year salary
for doing nothing, who are employed by
some of these munition manufacturers
in lobbying at Washington.
General Crozier, the man who awards
these contracts, was formerly in part
nership with the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany. While an officer he and another
officer took out patent on a dlsap-
pearing gun, which he sold to the Beth
lehem Steel company with the under
standing that he was to receive roy
atty on all guns sold to foreign coun-
tries. What about this for patriotism
when you know this man was educated
at the expense Of our government?
Every armor- bearing concern in the
United States was represented in the
10 founders of the Navy league, and
the majority of the 10 would profit di-
rectly from such propaganda.
Since the European war began, many
officers of the army and navy resigned
to accept situations with private NUM-
ton manufacturers at greatly in
creased salaries, and a considerable
amount of the munitions that are go
ing to the allies today are being made
under their supervision.
The war trust is backed by the most
powerful men in the world, and since
the United States at war means more
to them than in time of peace, one
must tremble for the peace of this
nation.
Take the profits out of manufactur-
ing war munitions, by the government
putting up plants of its own, and pay
for the army and navy through the in
come tax and you will hear no more
of the Navy league, for its membership
will be no more in favor of war than
are we ourselves.
After reading Mr.. Tavenner's ex-
posture the Enterprise has come to
this idea of mutt: A fellow, who like
ourselves works 25 hours a day Is
months in the year to try and keep
out of the red at his bank, and will
then allow himself to be buncoed into
whooping 'er up for an enormous army
and navy, when he and other poor men
like him will have to pay the bill and
do the fighting while the munition
manufacturers stay at home to reap
the profits

Tennessee Goats.
(From Science),

To the Editor of Science: There is
a peculiar breed of goats raised in cen
trail and eastern Tennessee. When
suddenly frightened the hind legs be-
come stiff and the animal jumps along
until it RECEIVERS and trots off normally
or if greatly frightened the front legs
become stiff also and the goat falls to
the ground in rigid condition. They
have received the name of "stiff
legged" or sensitive" goats. The
farmers in Tennessee prefer them be-
cause they do not jump fences. They
are snow white and look like ordinary
goats. We are starting experiments
to determine whether this is a domi
nant or recessive characteristic in
comparison with normal goat. When
this peculiar affliction first appeared
l cannot say, but it seems to be pos
sessed by all the goats in the section
named. J. ]. HOOPER.

ONLY One Voice in America.

Minneapolis Journal: Somebody"
who has just come back from the mid
die west, has told the Outlook that a
gentleman from that part of the coun-
try told him that the Lusitania case
was local issue which concerned only
the seaboard. 1t is possible that there
was found such an American in the
middle west, but certainly he was not
typical of this portion of the country.
The LHsitania case either was OF in
terest to every American, or it did not
present an issue of interest to any
American. That is to say, it raised a
national question, or it raised no Ques-
ton at all. 1t could not be discussed,
debated or decided on sectional lines.
AS well say that attacks on Americans
on the southern border present only a
Texas question, or that attacks over
the northern border would present a
minnesota question, or that the sinking
OF vessel in the Pacific presents only
California question.
We could not divide ourselves ND in
this manner, if We wished. We doubt
whether any responsible man from the
middle west has made such an asser-
ton. II he has. we are sure he does
not represent this section. any more
than the congressman from the middle
west who votes against preparedness

WATCHING THE WATER.

The state board of health announces
its intention of Investigating and ex-
aiming vended waters with view of
safeguarding the public against the
dangers which may lurk in some bot
tied waters now being supplied to the
citizens OF Illinois
The recent epidemic of typhoid fe-
yer in Moline calls forcible attention
to the danger lurking in the use OF
bottled waters not subjected to in
spection. The general public is in the
habit OF placing blind faith in the san
;itary quality of waters sold in bot
ties. A little thought, however, will
reveal that the operation Of bottling,
even supposing the source TO be pure,
subjects the water to most of the dan
gers inherent in the preparation and
sale of milk At the present day there
is hardly man, woman or child who
does not recognize that milk, in order
TO be safe, must come from clean
dairies where extraordinary precau-
tons are taken to prevent contamina
ton, and most health departments
provide elaborate machinery for the
inspection and control Of the milk
business. Vended waters, however, go
along unmOiested and a catchy name
and an attractive legend on the bottle
seem TO give the public sufficient as
surance that they are getting pure
and uhpoiluted product
A marked increase in public inter
est concerning sanitary matters has
no doubt stimulated greater care on
the part of vendors OF bottled waters
in maintaining their sources Of sup
ply free from contamination and their
bottifng works in a cieanly condition.

Sunday afternoon the Enterprise
editor spent couple Of hours in read
ing Congressman Clyde H. Tayenner' S
speech in the house of representatives
! Dec Is, 1915, on the subject, THE Navy
League Unmasked," and found it to be
one of the most effective arguments
made in that body for a couple Of de-
cades.
/ He shows that while the bulk of the
people of this country will have to bear
the increased burdens of an increased
army and navy that the few munition
manufacturers and big steel works will
reap enormous profits He read a cir
cular from New York banker, dated
Aug. %, 1915, showing the extent of
these profits, the stock market report
| saying:
Winchester arms up 1000 points.
Colts arms up 1000 points. Du Pont
! declares stock dividend of 200 per
cent"
! At the beginning of the European
war. Bethlehem steel could have been
/ bought for them $50 to $40 Mr.. Tav-
enner showed where it had been quoted
the day previous at $474.
From the above enormous profits of
| concerns engaged in that kind Of bust
ness it will be seen that it is to their
| interest that the United States become
involved in the European war. What
Mr.. Tavenner urges is that the govern
ment take private profits out of the
war and preparation for the war, so
that it will become no more profitable
for traffickers in war munitions to have
| this country go to war than it is for
other people. War is altogether toe
profitable to these few" he declared
ito be healthy for the rest of u.s."
The United States has increased its
appropriations on account of wal
more than any other nation in the
world during time of peace-two bill
| lion dollars during the past 10 years
| OF every 800 collected from the people
for the government, s67 has been paid
out for war, large amount of which
has gone to four firms, which, up to
this time, have had a monopoly of the
manufacture Of armor plate and pow
| der.
The bulk of this money has been paid
not by the rich but by the poor, though
the payment of duty on much that
the poor man and his family eats or
wears. Nearly everytime one buys any
thing at store he is unconsciously
helping to pay for the maintenance OF
the army and navy in the increased cost
of living. Since the money for this
purpose is mainly raised through tax
ing what we eat and wear it stands to
| reason that the more we spend on the
army and navy the higher is going to

The Daily Story
How Mother Saved Her son-By Eunice Blake.

making the explosives himself. Whom
he seemed competent to do so he told
his instructor that he needed him 70
longer. The man went away, caution.
ing Manuel to be very careful lest be
cause a premature explosion with him
self for the victim.
One night, or, rather, norning-for
II was about 2 o'clock-those living
near the Fernandez home were awak.
ened by terrific explosion. The DO.
lice at once rushed there and found
Sonora Fernandez bending over a BODY
which she said was her son II was
so mudlated that Its features were NOT
distinguishable, but the clothes On IL
were those worn by Manuel The wo-
man was loud In her grief, especially
that her son should have died in such
a cause. for there was plenty of evi.
dence that he had been making bombs
for an Iiegit1mate purpose. The Do
lice made their notes, then told the
mother that she might bury the body.
She waited till she saw the man she
had seen working with her son come
to view the corpse
How do you know that iris IL the
body Of your SOM he asked. The
features are unrecogniza ble."
Because Of the clothes. Do you not
remember that suit he wore?7
The man seemed satisfied and went
away. The same afternoon there was
a funeral at the Fernandez home, and
the body was laid away.
The evening before the tragedy MAI
uel Fernandez, disguised as an old
man. took train for Gibraltar, where
he waited for ship to take him to
America. He was fortunate To the
fact that one from Genoa stopped
there the day after his arrival. He at
once took passage in the steerage and
in due time reached New York.
While he had been learning how to
make the bombs his mother was ar.
ranging for the explosion. She went
to a medical college and made a conf
dante of the man Ia charge of subjects
provided for the use Of students In
anatomy. He agreed to furnish her
with corpse about the size Of her son,
and on the night Of the explosion be
had It secretly conveyed to her home

house to a point where his mother
could easily make an electric circuit
and explode bomb. Placing the sub
ject in the clubhouse, she pressed the
key and before any one had arrived On
the scene removed the wire.
Sonora Fernandez's plan worked sue.
cessfuily in every respect But her son
has never been known In America BY
his true name. None of his anarchist
associates doubted that he met his
death through carelessness.
