 preferable to the conditions which would prevail under no license but which would doubtless result in the use Of as much if not more liquor than under license. and at the same time mean a large financial loss.
 In comparison with other campaigns when the majority for license was much smaller, having even but cut to as low as 11.O00 on one occasion, it is impossible to look upon the result from the standpoint of the license ad- vocate as anything but a complete victory. They apparently won over e-fifteenth of those who voted for no license last year besides adding several thousand others. Boston from all indications has not as yet become convinced that no license is preferable, however it may look upon the temperance question itself. =.

sosroN,s VOTE ON LICENSE

There were surprises in connection with the result in the license test in Bos- ton this week. not because it failed to go no license, but because there was not a larger vote cast and because the no-license vote showed a decrease instead of an increase over last year. At the very time when one of the big gest fights has been made in behalf of no-hcense, a smaller vote was cast for it than last year by 2,000. while the majority for license was increased by 5000.
 With such a. vote there can be no question as to what the people in the city of Boston think as to the merits of that much discussed question. They are apparently firm in the belief that local option and the regulation of the saloons under the present system is

The Young Doctor Defended.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana has recently made a decision which may be of more than passing interest to young doctors. The case was one in which a young physician who had been a friend of the testatrix sued the estate for $1500 for services. The trial judge allowed only $262 of this claim, giving the opinion that a young practitioner had no right to charge or expect the fees charged by older prac- titioners. The Supreme Court, on the contrary, held that the young physi- clan fresh from the schools, enlight- ened by recent discoveries, is more competent to deal with a case than a physician who has the experience of a past generation, and allowed the amount claimed, &1500.-Indianapol News.

BrayIess Mules

The brayless mule is one of the scientific developments of the war Large numbers of mules have been inn ported from America for use at the front, but theirhabit of praying at in- convenient moments had to be reme- died before they could be used to the best advantage. The veterinary ex- perts were called in, and after a lit tie experiment they discovered that a slight operation on the nostril had the desired effect, and all the mules sent to the front are now made mute by this process.

development for public service use from 1902-1912 was approximately three times as great as in steam pow CT. Primary power installation from all sources and for all uses increased from 1902 to 1912 more than 1-2 times as rapidly in the eleven Western states as in the remainder of the United States. While the increase for primary electric power for the same period was 40 per cent for the West ern states, as against 226 per cent. in the other states. The development per capita of the Western states in 1912 was 1-2 times as great as in other parts of the country.
 The report showed a considerable over-development in nearly all the power centers of the Western states California, Oregon, and Washington in particular showing installations far in excess of maximum demands"

PEACE IS REJECTED
 BUT YET MAY COME

 a great military despotism cyeTshad- first time We have helped to over throw military despotism. We have an uncomfortable historic memory of these bidings and can recall one of the greatest of these despots, whose favorite device was to appear in the garb of an angel of peace, either when he wished time to assimilate his con quests or to reorganize his forces for fresh conQuests, or secondly when his subject, showed sympathy to months of fatigue and war weariness an ap- peal was always made in the name ot humanity. H demanded an end to the bloodshed at which he professed himself mortified, although he himself was mainly responsible.
 Our ancestors were taken in once, and bitterly they and Europe rue it. The time was devoted to reOrganizing his forces for deadlier attack than ever on the liberties of Europe.
 Examples of this kind cause us to regard this note with a considerable measure of disquietude.
 information Lacking.
 We feel that we ought to know be- fore We can give favorable considera- tion to such an invitation, that Ger many is prepared to accede to the only terms on which it is possible peace can be obtained and maintained in Europe. Those terms have been repeatedly stated by the leading states men of the allies. They have been stated repeatedly here and outside To quote the leader of the House last week:
 Want Guarantees.
 Preparation and guarantee against repetition, so there shall be no mis- take, and it is important that there should be no mistake in a matter of life or death to millions
 "Ofered, no Real Peace"
 Did the German chancellor use a single phrase to indicate that he was prepared to accept such a peace? Waf there hint of restitution? Was there a suggestion of reparation? Was there an implication of any security for the future. that this outrage on civiliZa- ton would not again be perpetrated at the first profitable opportunity? The very substance and style of the speech constitutes a denial of peace on the only terms on which peace is pos sibie. He is not even conscious now that Germany has committed any of fense against the rights of free nations. Listen to this from the note:
 |" Not fof an instant have they (the central powers) swerved from the conviction that respect on the rights of other nations is not in any degree incompatible with their own rights and legitimate interests
 Are Grimes Right?
 When did they discover this? Where was respect for the rights Of other nations in Belgium and Serbia? That was self defense, menaced, I sup pose, by the overwhelming armies Of Belgium. Yea, and they were carrying them into slavery at the very moment when this note was being written about their answering conviction as to the respect due the rights of other nations.

 Now that this great war has been forced by the Prussian leaders. it would be folly not to see to i, that this swashbuckling truth-slayer of Flu -ope and disturber of peaceful citizens is dealt with here and now as an of fender of the laws of the world.
 Faith in Arm,es
 And meanwhile We shall put our trust in our unbroken army, rather than in broken faith.
 For the moment l do not think it would be advisable for me to add any thing upon this particular invitation. A formal reply will be delivered by the allies in the course of the next few days" ..
 Epigramsl
 The following are few of the most striking sentences from the latter art of Mir. Lloyd-George's speech:
 An absolutely new army. The old lad done it's duty and spent itself in the achievements of that great task. This i sa new army. A year ago it was ore in the earth of Britain-yea, and of Ireland It became iron. It has passed through the fiery furnace and the enemy knows that it is now fine steel.
 New Army
 An absolutely nav army New men New officers taken from schools, 5oys from schools, from colleges. from counting houses, never trained to war never thought of war; many perhaps never handled a weapon of war: gen erals never given an opportunity of handling great masses of men.
 They have faced the greatest army seen, the best equipped, the best trained, and they have beaten them, beaten them, beaten them.
 Battle after battle, day after day, week after week, in the strongest en- trenchments ever devised by human skill, they have driven them out by valor. valor which s incredible when you read the story of it.
 q have no doubt that the old cabi- nets were better adapted to navigate the parliamentary river with it's shoals and shifting sands and perhaps for cruise in home waters. But a rabinet of 23 was rather top heavy for gale I do not say that this new ,abinet is best adapted for parliament tary navigation, hut l am convinced that it is best for war.
 Victory Uncertain
 Tt is not a mere haphazard law CT supply and demand that will accom- plish that which is necessary to save nation within the time that it is es- sential it should be accomplished. l. is not a question of acquisition Of months, perhaps weeks and unless not merely the material resources of the country, but the labor of the coun- try is used to the best advantage anG every man is called upon to render such service to the state as he can best give, victory is beyond our reach.
