TAFT TALkSAON WAR.
Declares U. S. is in the Fight ito the Very
Struggle ITSELF"

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. Former Presi-
dent VIM. H. Taft in an address here to-
night at the nineteenth annual dinner of
the Young Mems Bible class of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church, of which John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., is honorary presi-
dent, declared that the United States is
in the European war ito the very strug-
gle ITSELF
"The rights of neutrals do not count
for much," said Mr.. Taft. ENGLAND
has violated international law and carried
out a policy which she was insistent
we should not do when we established a
blockade i'll the south. Germany has
violated our rights by attacking steam
ships with nOn-combatants on them and
even neutrals.
LAS neutrals we have the right to sci |
munitions. AS the fortune of war has
swept one of the beligerents off the sea.
the exercise of our right has aroused the
enmity of that belligerent and created
storm. lie seems that we are reaching a
proposition that neutrals ought to be
consulted before war begins. -
Mr.. Taft said we have asserted that
what we have we will keep, if we have
to fight for it.
Something happened over in Europe
and we were saved,' he added. THAT
proves that Heaven looks after children,
inebriates and the United States"
Mr.. Taft said he did not think we
were going to have war, but warned
that I'VE have good deal of hay out
which may suffer in a storm
1.-The question is, why prepare at all, !"
he declared, cor prepare adequately.
Let's either give up entirely, or choose
one or the other. Our first duty is to
increase our navy"
Other speakers were Charles M.
Schwab and former Gov. John M. Slay-
ton of Georgia.

the monotonous sage brush and cactus
were the only forms of vegetation to be
seen.
Gaunt, rocky bluffs rose on every side,
and the steady, though almost impercep-
tible upgrade was evidenced by the
labored puffings of the two locomotives
attached to our train. The rarefied, dry
atmosphere painted the hills with hues
of pink and purple and at times the col
orings of the sands in the distance gave a
perfect mirage of the ocean. The novel;
Iy of the scenery made it interesting for
time, but we soon tired of the monot-
ony, and the intense heat, greater on
the observation platform than in the
Pullmans. combined with the fine desert
sand which sifted into the cars through
every crack and crevice, made the after
noon an exceedingly uncomfortable one.
Every few minutes the porter, trying to
fill the role of good Samaritan as we'll as

led the floor of the car with water, and
wiped the sand from the window Lodges,

Their Limited influence.

Iowa City Republican: Every now
and then evidence comes to hand to
show what little influence a news
paper has when it runs amuck public
opinion, or when suspicion points to
selfishness or prejudice. The most
notable instance Of this Is the case
OF the Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can and Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Both are we'll conducted newspapers
and edited with marked ability, yet
we have instance after instance where
they fall down in attempts to direct
public opinion.
The most notable case this year is
their attempt to defeat w. s. Allen,
secretary OF state. They bitterly OPP
posed him and had some assistance
from other newspapers, but the pri-
mary results show that Mr.. Allen re-
ceived In round numbers $4,000
votes to his opponents $4,000, giving
Allen clean majority OF over $4,000,
the largest ever given to any candt-
date who had opposition. Mr.. Allen
carried all but three counties.
These papers waged q bitter fight
on Harding, with the results already
announced. They fought Judge Sal
linger two years ago in the same way,
and he was nominated and elected.

The youth Of the soul is everlasting, and
eternity is youth.
MIcHTY GOOD PATRIOTISM.

Government experts whatever that term
may mean in this instance, are said to have es-
timated that the militamen called to service
will suffer loss in wages amounting In total to
ST. SOC, 900 week. Whether or not the estimate
is official it is conservative. 1t is based on an
average Of SIS per week per man, which seems
pretty low.
The sacrifice made by individuals is tel!
largely by their families. What the average
family responsibilities of the militiamen are
we do not know, and there is no foundation at
present for a good guess. The pay of private
in the militia in the service of the federal gov
eminent will be fifty cents a day. or three dol
airs and half week. 1t may be that
wages Of one hundred dollars a month will
be keenly missed in many home.
It is good to read of instances where pay, or
some portion of the regular pay, will be con-
tinued by employers Some employers will
pay for the full term of absence. That ism t
good business, but it's mighty good patriotism
and altruism.

WHERE PROTECTION Is NEEDED.

Persons who believe that it will be possible
to manufacture an adequate supply OF dyes IN
this country without the aid of a rather high
tariff will be interested in statement in the
London Times explaining the difficulty IN es-
tablishing the new industry in England. There,
as in the United States, the increase In prices,
due chiefly to the stoppage of Importation from
Germany, and partly to the higher cost OF raw
materials, has been a serious matter for textile
and other manufacturers, and, while relief IS
promised, it is not yet in sight According to
the Times, themanagers Of British Dyes Linn
ited), the corporation aided by the government,
are confident that ultimately they will be able
to supply all the colors hitherto brought from
Germany and obtainable nowhere else; but 1t IS
pointed out that the war has been in progress
for twenty-one months andstheir plant is not
yet completed.
There is no reason to believe that the situa
ton here, as viewed from the standpoint OF
men who would be glad to establish the dye
making industry, is less difficult than it is in
England. 1t is known that German manufac-
turers have large stocks on hand. Their or
ganization is complete and their facilities for
producing at low cost are superior to those IN
any other country. Unless the industry here is
protected by the government, they will control
the American market after peace is declared.
Probably not much new capital will be available
for the manufacture of dyes in the United
States until the tariff question has been set
tied by the congress or by tariff commission,
if one ever is named
