opinion is that ether days will bring
other wars, and that the United States,
though not desiring war, must prepare
against all warlike contingencies.
And these voters are advised that, as
matters stand, there is great deal for
us to do. Our equipment is pathetically
and alarmingly> small by comparison
with that of any one of the nations now
measuring strength with an enemy. We
are not quite in the class with China !;
but when our position in the world is
considered and our enormous resources
tabulated, our unpreparedness is much
more discreditable than hers.
The topic of preparedness, then, will
confront Mr.. Bryan as a stumper
whether he likes it or not. If, as he
says, it was but little applauded at st.
Louis, he will find it of interest else
where-everywhere else he goes. In
deed, so great is the interest, and so gen
eral, that had Mr.. Wilson not changed
front when he did, and put all the
power of his Office in favor of prepared
ness, movement might have taken
shape to deny him denomination. The
democracy could not have afforded to
go into the campaign decrying an in

The Petrolite Case.

The submarine issue is revived in a
striking manner by the dispatch of a
note from the United States to Austria
demanding an apology for the attack on
the American steamer Petrolite in De-
cember Hast by an undersea boat. The
public has not taken a keen interest in
the Petrolite case, probably for the rea-
son that the ship was not sunk and no
lives were log nevertheless, the matter
has become one of gravity, inasmuch as
upon a close examination of all the
facts this government has become con
WINGED that the steamer was attacked
wantonly and without warming, and
that the attack constituted a plain VIC
lation of American rights on the high
seas.
1t is reported from Vienna that the
demand for an apology and for the
punishment of the submarine command
er is resented at the Austrian capital
on the ground that this government has
taken the testimony of the officers and
crew of the Petrolite in preference to
the word of the submarine commander.
OF course, there can be no other basis
for American action than the testimony
of the ships company. 1t does not
necessarily follow that the Austrian com
mander has deliberately misstated the
facts. He may have been honestly mis-
taken as to the intention of the PetrO-
lite's commander, but apart from ma
tionality the testimony of all available
witnesses is preponderating to the eff
feet that the ship was attacked without
warrant and that her nationality must
have been plainly known.
A break of relations between Austria
and the United States on this issue is
altogether unlikely. Ill-feeling may be
aroused in Austria over the American
demand, but it is practically certain to
evaporate or at least to yield to a rea-
sonable official compliance with the
terms of the note of June 81. Austria
is not at all likely to risk break with
this country on point concerning
which the United States, as the matter
stands, has clearly the better case.

Mr.. Bryan's Paramount Issue.

Mr.. Bryan, over his signature, ac-
cepts the result at st. Louis in these
terms:
"As this issue of the Commoner con-
tains the democratic platform adopted
ut st. Louis, the speech Of Temporary
Chairman Glynn, and my own speech.
and an analysis of the platform, it is
not necessary to say more now than
that the spirit of the convention pre-
sages victory for the party The fact
that there was no contest for the first
place and but little for the second, &C
counts for the lack of excitement. Even
the suffrage plank did not stir up much
feeling-the vote was so one sided.
There was enthusiasm whenever en-
phasis was placed upon the fact that
the President had kept us out of war,
or when a reference was made to the
fact that the nation favors peace. The
preparedness plank drew forth but Hit
tie applause good omen. The dele
gates went home happy and the visitors
were satisfied. Now for the campaign
We must win; let every democrat go to
work"
As Mr.. Bryan will take the stump, we
probably have in this deliverance the
line he will follow in his speeches. His
slogan will be, Peace first, and peace all
the time.
he is a very entertaining talker on
that topic. On the ehautauqua circui.
he has charmed tens of thousands with
It. His wallet is the fatter because OF
tbs fhouohf he has given In neace in
ell aspects, and the pains he has taken
IN polishing his periods to express the
thought. -..
But this year Mr.. Bryan will not b.
addressing chautauqua audiences, but
tens of thousands of earnest voters who
are not millennialists, and do not be
heve that the last war, appalling ant
bloody - II il, is now in progress. Theil

The Piper's Bill.

Chairman Fitzgerald's figures are
large. sum total of billion and a
Z half of dollars is what at a distance
from the big road is called "a mighty
sight of money" 1t is record for a
session.
- But we must remember that Congress
is appropriating for unprecedented
times. Old criticisms are without point
: now. We dare not shrink from what
Is before us. 1t is no matter that we
did not produce these times. They are
here, and the duty they impose is in
escapable. ..-
! The two old parties in national con-
I. vention this year handled the economy
issue gingerly. The democrats did not
repeat their stupidity of four years ago
and promise the impossible based upon
Misrepresentation of the past. They
declared at ST. Louis for economy, but
did not denounce the republicans for
extravaganza in office. They simply
pledged as means of securing econ
omy return to the old order in the
House giving one committee control
over all the appropriation bills. And
that order, it so happens, they them
: selves abolished some thirty years ago.
The republicans, while condemning
the democrats for "wasteful appropria-
tions," did not specify in numbers,
round or otherwise, and pledged them
selves to the budget system. They con
ceded "the increasing cost of the ma
tional government"
Let us make no mistake. Let us
not be misled by the extrvagan-
cies and cajoleries of the stump,
which will shortly begin. The spell
binders will have their tales to tell,
prepared for partisan purposes. But
the truth will Semain after all these tales
have been told. And the truth is that
that cost will 60 higher still before it
goes lower. For all we know, we are
necessarily on a course leading to fig
ures which will make all previous figures
look small by comparison.
Growth is the order of governmental
q of physical life. We are growing,
and glad of it. We would not check it
II we could, and let us hope that we
could not if we would. And we must
provide for ourselves according to our
growth. We aspire to a prominent part
in the great world drama, and must
play it befttingly.
1t will be both poor politics and poor
business to attempt any tricks on the
electorate at this time with subject
which in every way is important to all.
The standards of American living should
be kept up. Every governmental need,
properly aseertained and approved,
should be supplied. There might be
infinitely more waste in the end in
small than in large appropriations.

Mexican Promptness Required.

! Carranza's reply to the American
, demanded that he Immediately release
| the Carrizal prisoners and make early
definition of his attitude toward Ameri-
| can troops in Mexico, cannot be long
delayed without seriously provoking
| this country 1t is true that the pris-
oners have been released with as prompt
| compliance with the demand as possible,
but thus far no word has come to this
t government from CarranZa giving any
indication of purpose to answer the re-
quirement for a specific declaration re-
speeding the presence of our forces south
of the border. Meanwhile movements
| of Carranzista troops are reported of
a nature seriously to menace the Ameri-
can forces under Gen. Pershing. As he
consolidates his line and shortens his
communications by leaving some of the
more southerly positions heretofore oc-
cupied by him, the Carranzistas move in
behind him, with the obvious intention
of crowding him closer and closer to
the border. 1t is even reported in late
dispatches that his communications be-
tween his new base at Colonia Dublan
and the border have been cut, while
new troop movements close upon his

judgment between the Mexican and
American governments as to what is re-
quired by the demand for an "early" an
nouncement concerning the Mexican
policy toward the American troops south
of the border. If the situation were
susceptible of indefinite protraction it
lean conception of promptness. But
with menacing movements of troops in
progress and with the former Villista
commanders drifting back across the
border from their hiding places in this
country and welcomed into the ranks
of the de facto army, as reports state,
it is impossible to yield with dignity
or with security to the Mexican tendency
to delay decision The United States
has right to speedy definition of the
Mexican purpose. Another clash such
as that at Carrizal may occur at any
moment, especially with resentment rife
in the ranks of the Mexican forces over
crastination is dangerous to peace.

Easements Conviction.

Sir Roger Easement, convicted yes
terday in London for high treason and
sentenced to be hanged for that crime,
presents a pathetic figure before the
world. That he was conscientious in his
desire to work for Ireland, to secure its
freedom from English domination, is
plain. But his methods were fanatical
and hopeless. He could not have sue
ceeded even in the difficult circumstances
which surrounded Great Britain. It is
doubtful whether Germany had any faith
in his plan for an Irish revolution save
as means of giving England a dis
tracing annoyance. Easement must

Summer Styles in Bon Tor
and Royal Worcester
Corsets.

There is style correctness in these
two popular-priced corsets. In fact,
style is always leading feature, but
comfortable and satisfactory wear
is assured as well. In this connection
we would remind you that it is always
best to have at least two pairs of cor
sets, one for every day and one for
dress wear. In this way your corset
lasts much longer, keeps its shape bet
ter and consequently the wearer is al
ways better corseted. This is a good
plan to follow, regardless of the price
you pay for your corsets.
We have splendid models in Bon Ton
and Royal Worcester Corsets, well
made, well boned and of good mate
rial. They are in broche, batiste and
coutil, and in various models to suit
the different figures.
They are good cOrsets. yet mex

Unavailing Resistance.

Ny Uncle Jim, he knows a song,
He learned it long ago;
And in a voice both sweet and stronl
BE sings it fast or slow.
No matter what we try to sing,
He won't consent to change,
And the effects his tune will bring
Are often weird and strange.
In vain we try to drown him out.
Our voices are too small
As into a discordant shout
Our hopes melodious fan.
But harmony is with us soon,
And since it has returned,
We just stick to that single tune
That Uncle Jim has learned.
