What Tnpitz Contemplate.

Commenting on President Wilson's note a
few German newspapers of the Tirpitz persuasion
refer not. unregretfully to the possibility that
in case of rupture with the United States the
Kaisers submarines would be free of restraint
According to this way of thinking, Germany
tions toward the United States and other neu-
trails but would be al, liberty to wild on
the seas, destroying ships without regard for
ownership of human life.
Beyond doubt, in the Won. Tirpitz school
there are many who would welcome breach
with the United States. 1t has been necessary
in the submarine warfare of the last twenty
months to make certain concessions to appear
ances and to admit that the torpedong Of mer-
chant vessels without warning was not to be
permitted. To be rid of such limitations on
Gernlany's powers of destruction at sea would
at once give them license to spare neither
man nor woman child.
This element in Germany still believes that
by merciless slaughter of noncombatants Ger
man submarines would be the means not only
of tanning Great Britain but of humilatng the
United States. 1t is an influence that is active
and beyond the reach of conscience
or reason, but it must be considered as a force
in German policies with which civilization must
deal later-New York World.

The processes of reconstruction were
made by those who managed them to de-
pend as much upon Withholding the suf-
frage from all who had participated with
any touch of leadership in secession as
upon the use of the negroes as voters
and the radical amendment of the
southern constitutions: and II presently
became evident that there was rap
idly growing number Of thoughtful men
in the Republican ranks who thought II
high time to grant a general amnesty
and bring affairs to a normal condition
again in southern society.
Mr.. Greeley was strongly of that opin-
ion, and II took form and bred concert
of action rapidly enough to play a de-
termining part in the presidential cam
paign of 1872
In 1870 the question had taken very
definite form among the Republicans OF
Missouri, and the party had split asun-
der there into a radical and a liberal
faction. The radicals wished for the
present to maintain the disqualifications
imposed by the constitution of the State
upon those who had identified themselves
with secession during the war; the
liberals demanded universal amnesty
and universal enfranchisement," and
won in the state elections.
The leaders of the successful revolt
were Mr.. Banjamin Gratz Brown and
Mr.. Carl Schurz. Mr. Brown had been
politician, editor, soldier, senator these
twenty years. and with the success Of
his party became governor of the State.
Mr.. Schurz was a member Of the
Senate. a man but just turned of forty
but bred since a lad to the role of ag-
gressive liberal in politics-an exile from
his German home because of his partiCi-
patton in the revolutionary movements
of 1S49. He was an orator whom op-
ponents not prepared to join frank issue
found 1t prudent to avoid in open con-
test. Mr. Lincoln had named him min
lister to Spain in 1851. but he had pre-
ferred the field and entered the army;
and at the close of the war had been
sent by the legislature of Missouri to
the Senate of the United States.
The Liberal Republicans" of Missouri,
thus led, called upon men of like views
everywhere to join them, and their ranks
for little seemed to I'LL upon a scale

Taffs Support of Wilson.

Mr. TAFT can always Be counted to play
the part OF a loyal, patriotic, and sober-mind-
ed American citizen. Throughout the various
phases Of his successors administration, he has
shown himself ready to give his moral sup
port to Mr.. Wilson in any undertaking which
he does not fail to do so in this gravest Of
all the situations with which the country has
been confronted in these eventful years will
Yet it is we'll to note that, in his speech at
Chicago yesterday Mr.. Taft, while expressing
his most earnest hope that Germany may
change her policy and enable us to continue
friendly relations with her." declared that
the stand Mr.. Wilson has taken is right, and
that there is nothing for "a clear-headed, patr-
otic American to do but to back up Pres-
dent" And, in spite of the shocking exhibition
of malignant partisanship and want of sound
patriotism by a few prominent Republican Con-
gressmen, there can be doubt that ex-Prcs-
dent Taft speaks the overwhelming sentiment
of his fellow-Republica throughout the union.

Sir Roger Easement a Problem.

The capture of Sir Roger Easement red
handed in an attempt to land German arms
in Ireland presents serious problem to Eng
land. His crime merits death, and a major
ity of Irishmcn would doubtless uphold the
in1iction of the penalty. Nevertheless such an
execution would cause a commotion in Ireland
with possibility of results that British states
men cannot at present ignore. Discretion may
distate that it is wiser to forego the setting OF
a stern example than to invite serious and
troublesome situation Sir Roger safe in Dris-
son do harm; dead in the Tower he
might prove formidable. 1t is not likely that
his fate will be determined in haste.

Incredible Ignorance.

Hungarian writer says that the people OF
Austria and Hungary do not share the opinion
of German professor that "as soon as America
declares war against Germany or the Dual Mon
archy the millions of Germans and allied na-
tionals will at once unfurl the flag of revolution
in the United States" The German professors
have proved themselves incredibly Ignorant Of
everything in foreign countries and this alleged
prediction is a par with the predictions ear
lier in the war regarding conditions in Ireland
India and Canada 1t is very cerditable to the
intelligence of the Austrians and Hungarians that
they are not the dupes of German professors

THE EYE.

THE EYE.
Caught my own eye yesterday
In a mirror on my way,
And the glance it sped to me
Ouivered with anxiety,
And knew despite my song
Somewhere there was something wrong.
Glanced at it again this dawn
And that anxious look was gone,
And a twinkle sparkled there,
And the world grew bright and fair
For l gathered from its light
Somehow somewhere things were right!
Whence It's my advice to you
If to Self you'd get a clue
Every day that passes by
Look yourself square in the eye
Rain or shine in JOY or ruth
Twill not fail to tell the truth.

"The people of the West and Middle West,
whose Sentiments l have taken some pains to
develop opposed to war with Germany on
the grounds named in the Presidents note" says
Senator Curtis, of Kansas. President Wilson has
not suggested war. If war comes as the result
OF our demands it will be of Germanys making.
Does the Senator mean that if Germany insists
either upon making war upon us or continuing
the killing of defenseless Americans on the high
seas, the people of the West and Middle West
would prefer the former course?

According to the latest political rumor Will
lam Jennings Bryan, Henry Ford and George B.
Mcclellan, former mayor of New York, will or
ganize new national party and put Presiden-
tial ticket in the field next fall a peace plat
form. At least two reasons readily suggest them
selves why Mr.. Bryan would be eager to form
such alliance, but why should Mr.. Ford, with
his millions, start on political career tied to a
man repudiated in his own State following an
unsuccessful attempt to split his party?

A Berlin wireless reports that a bomb injured

the further announcement from Berlin that "Presi-

regarded as most significant.

Since March Is, when Congress authorized an
increase of 10000 in the regular army 46oo men
