Uncle sam, World BANKER.

Never before in the history of the
world has a nation accumulated riches
SO fast and to such large extent, as
has been the case Of the United States
since the commencement of the Euro
pean war Wealth and golden oppor-
tunities have fairly been showered on
this country, which has gathered in
these lavish gifts Of fate almost with
out exertion ON its own part. From a
debtor nation we have been converted
into a creditor nation, and have taken
long step toward becoming the
world s leading banker nation. Already
since the war began the bankers of this
country have loaned $1,125,0 100000 TO
as many as thirteen other nations, In
Guiding five belligerents and the re-
malnder consisting of neutrals in Eu-
rope, Asia and America. In addi-
ton to this enormous loaning capacity,
moreover, we have absorbed American
securities held abroad to the extent Of
more than billion dollars, and are
continuing to buy back our securities
at rate that would be impossible
were it not for the remarkable concen-
tration Of wealth in this land and the
steadily increasing obligations Of other
nations to our own.
The foreign loans which have been
made by this nation since the com
mencement of the war have been one
of the big factors of our present pros
perity, since all the money thus bor-
roWed is spent in this country for our
products. There was no actual trans
fer of money from the United States
to another nation. The borrowers ac-
quired credit here and Immediately be-
gan expanding it for things they want
ed that we could supply. That has
brought about an immense export bust
ness which has stimulated manufact-
ures and trade and the benefit has been
felt throughout the land. So long as
the war goes on it must continue to
be felt, for the sources of internation-
al credit in Europe will remain closed
during that time and the United
States will be both banker and mer-
chant, thus reaping profits in two ways.
How long this condition may con-
tinue after the war is of course an I'M
solved problem, which already has be-
come the subject of much interesting
Speculation. Although the United
States has made immense strides in in
ternational finance, there is no certain
ty the world Is financial center will i'm
mediately shift to this country Lon
don, Berlin and Paris will again take
up their program in financing the
world and it will be a stiff fight, with
the United States in the more advant-
ageous position by reason Of the gain
it has made during the war. What
ever the outcome, however, it is appar-
ent that the United States will play q
larger part in the world s finances than
it has done heretofore. And this in it.
self necessarily will bring further re-
sponsibilities of an international char
acter, responsibilities that must be
faced and not be evaded-O Oshkosh

The police and the motorcycle depu-
ties are doing unusually well these
days. They caught twenty speeders
last Sunday and just two of them were
from Kenosha. It is evident that a
Chicago man goes lot faster than a
Kenosha man in most cases. Well he
comes from bigger town. However,
we are inclined to think that If the
"cops" kept real close watch they
would get few more Of the home
lNade speeders.

It looks as if the city of Kenosha is
in for long period of watchful
waiting in connection with track ele-
walton. The petition of the North
Western Railway Company to reopen
the question means just this-the whole
fight will have to be gone over. 1t
may be that a lot Of people want to
wait, but there are a lot more of them
who want action.

Of course, it is all right to start out
kicking on troop cars" but the
soldiers from Wisconsin will find lot
bigger objections to service with the
army before they are through with the
campaign in Mexico. A lot of them
would be tickled to death to come
back on those troop cars'' after the
first month of real fighting.

Appealing to the Dane County Cir

Recent developments would indicate
that it is about time to call Mr.. Bryan
and his "bird cage" back to Washing
ton. Mr.. Lansing does not seem to be
entirely in touch with the "grape

diplomacy which seems to be upper
most in the minds of the men running
the government.

It is just possible that the rates Of.

are better than those on the state

When it comes to developing the

Timid Mr.. Wilson is still hopeful
that the Mexican trouble can be

will not be Q national leader he four years Though many ot the old committeeman reelected the committee is differently constituted and its powers have been somewhat restricted by new rules Even of the old committeeman who were reelected, there will probably be very few who would dare go to the lengths the committee four years ago and which Mir Barnes would go now.
 The gentleman will find himself in a very small minority The majority of the members the mittee will be in Chicago for the purpose of not venting personal spite for restoring a corrupt invisible government for nominating a candidate of their choice for certain defeat. but for the pur pose of choosing standard bearer who can be elected. Many differences will be buried and many compromises will be made both in the committee and the convention. And. above all, the wishes of the rank and file of the party will be taken into account this year.
 Returning though. to Mr. Barnes reason for not being delegate atlarge is it possible that there is that would weigh more heavily with him than the dread of being an unwilling partici- pant :n the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt? That of would hurt his pride but not more than the nomination in any event would hurt it, and that and nothing would hurt the political conscience Of Mir Barnes Does he not fear defeat at home? MT. Barnes is not the power in New York he was four years ago. His growing weakness was apparent in the New York constitutional convention and in the abandonment him within the last three years by papers and politicians who had for years been his support.
 There IS note in Mir Barnes statement dole fu as it may sound to him, that will ring cheerily to republicans at large and progressves. It is the forecast of the overthrow of the reactionary element at Chicago II is a forecast of victory in Novem- Der and of the restoration of government petent to meet the extraordinary problems which have been forced upon the government while it groping bndly with problems it's own creation.

The Progressives' Declaration

The declaration of principles by the executive committee of the progressive party at Chicago on Tuesday, think, cannot fail to meet the approval of all republicans who interested in good gov rather than in the success of faction of their party. and who are aware that good gov ernment cannot be attained without the combined effort of republic ans and progressives IL may be disappointing to some republicans that the commit did declare in favor of amalga;naon of the two parties Manifestly the committee could do that. It could not make even conditional decla- ration in favor of such amalgamation. It could only recommend that the party organization be held intact await such action must be taken by the republicans the time of holding the national vention in June
 The only condition laid down by the executive committee for co cooperative action. which be distinguished from amalgamation of the two parties. is a reasonable The republicans certainly find within their ranks candidate whom the 1,0O0000 and who voted the pro- gressive ticket in 1912 support. If not. ,he republicans hesitate go outside their ranks
 It is made clear by the executive committee that there shall be abandonment of progressive principles IS were enunciated four years Those principles it will be recalled not controvered by either the republican the democratic party in the course of the campaign Some of them indeed. found place in the national platform of the demo- cratic party, though they ye, been put into effect.
 In the national progressive platform many policies proposed that may be distinguished from the deeper and underlying principles. While the principles will be maintained, it is possible that the language used by the committee, we will not stick at details, means that the progressives will consent to hold in abeyance certain policies which the republican convention may ready next June accede.
 But other policies well as all progressive principles will be insisted upon before there can be any agreement between the two parties upon any reforms in the government as the progressive party committed itself to four years ago. We cannot, of course. enumerate such policies. but assume for the purpose of illustration that among them is the important one of tariff reform be put into effect and maintained by permanent, non-p partisan tariff commission Of course, there many others upon which the progressive party will be nsstent and none of them may be assured. will be such as being just ard constructive.
 The declaration leaves to the republican leaders the responsibility for failure of cooperative ef- fort if it should fail. an in that case believe that the masses of republicans will desert their leaders.
