The Nail Statue Nuisance.

A curious Teutonic craze is commented on
bv Professor Pazaurek, of Stuttgart, who
complains in the "Vossiche Zetung' of what
he calls the mailing nuisance" He says 1t
all began in Vienna with the erection OF the
"Warrior in Iron" Thence it spread like
wildfre over the two empires, especially in
Germany "Iron Hard" appeared in He'll
bronn. "The Brave Swabian" in Stuttgart
Smoked Leg" in Gmund. Iron Harry in Al
tona Roland" the patron knight Of mu-
inequalities, was seen in score Of towns;
"St Michael" in Hamburg Crefeld and Bres-
lau, "Charlemagne" in Salzburg and Osna-
bruck. and various genre statues in many
other places, chiefly in the Rhine country.
But the elimination was reached with the
raising of the monstrous Iron Hindenburg'
in Berlin.
Professor Pazaurek says there are twenty
six tons of alder wood in this figure, and that
when its ugly surface has been covered with
metal there will be thirty tons of nails stuck
in it, He holds up his hands in horror at
the hopeless degradation of taste manifested
in these nailings of the images of living men.
The professor is eminent authority on
aesthetics" which seems to account for his
distaste of these strange figures. But may
they not be frowned on by the utlitarians
also as representing a futile waste OF good
iron and wood?

That Fighting Mood.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: This note is not intended to convince
Argus" who sent his contribution from
Helena Mont. on June so, but it may help
some one who is looking for the truth. 1t is
true President Wilson stated ne was in a
fighting mood, but the same press dispatches
explained that his fight was a fight for JUS
ticea fight to subject the special interests
which are trying TO plunge US into degrad-
ing war, fight to give reason a chance TO
rule. and a fight TO chastse the prejudiced
minds which are trying TO make political cap
tai out of Misrepresentation of fact.
Argus" inferred that the fight of our Pres
ident is an effort TO stave off political defeat,
and therein he revealed his smalness. 1t is
because America is awake, with real leader
in the White House that the rantings of a
few biassed minds are having little effect

We sympathze with the view that the M.

tion of a party equipped 10 hasten the end
described by liberating the South from thrall
dom to dead issues Yet we cannot go so far
as TO say that this object alone would. in the
face of other circumstances, make preserva-
ton of the party imperative. The great SER
vice projected in behalf OF the South and OF
the Matchmaking of political thought was in
cidental, not fundamental. in the movement.
The basic purpose of the Progressive party
was to make possible unity of effort by all
Americans who believe in the doctrine that
human rights should take precedence over
property rights, and that only through the
establishment of this as national principle
could justice be promoted and the true func-
tions of democracy fulfilled.
1t is undeniable that elimination of the Pro-
gressive party removes the readiest
means of united action on the part of all
holding this faith. But, as We have urged
before. Progressivism is still living force.
1t is philosophy in which millions of Amer-
cans devoutly believe. Il cannot be oblit-
Grated, and, even without party founded di-
rectly upon il, it Will find ways to express
itself
The movement will 60 steadily onward II
is deplorabe that its adherents in the South
are deprived for a time of the one effective
means they have had to declare their convic-
tions on national problems; but there is
rothing for them to do but TO make the best
possible use Of their power through the old
channels. Their deiverance and the ad-
vancement of the best interests of the ma
ton must wait until the inadequscy and
fatal limitations of the Republican party are
further demonstrated, and it is finally dis
carded
Temporary restoration of the vitality OF
the Republican party is necessary expe-
dent of patriotism. II is the most available
instrument at this time to rescue the ma
tion's affairs from Democratic weakness and
maladmnistration.
The problem of the South is of manifest
Importance; the need for truly national
party in which all believers in Progressive
ism may unite is beyond dispute
But there is necessity which far tran
scends this. Before there can be hope OF
putting into practice the doctrines of nation
alism and Of social and industrial justice for
which Progressives stand it is requisite 10

The dominating Factor" in Ireland

In discussing the future of Ireland IN the
House of Commons yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Asquth insisted at length on the
urgency of establishing a settlement that
would insure the successful conduct OF the
war "The dominating factor" he SAID
(which made us all willing to become par
ties or sponsors to this measure Is the
war"
He is doubtless right in believing that
but for the war speedy conciliation could
hardly have been hoped for. Yet it is pre-
cisely because of the war that some Union
lists are so vehemently opposed to the pres
ent proposals. Lord Hugh Cecil has lately
stated their case plainly. In the first place
he can see no reason for the belief that the
proposed settlement will insure tranquil
litv in Ireland If there is danger of
further rising it is the Sim Felners and
Irish Republicans who are most to be
feared The settlement will certainly not
satisfy them, for they are open and de-
clared foes of Mr.. Redmond and the Ma
tionalist party. In their eyes, therefore,
il will be but sign of weakness IN the
imperial government, and it may well Ne
TO their interest to wreck it. This would
not be a difficult task. Lord Hugh Cecil
imagines they will adopt the following
policy:
They will continue their agitation;
they will spread the membership OF
their societies far and wide; if any
one resists them, the old wicked ma
chinery of boycotting and outrage will
be put in motion against him; the Sim
Fein organization will rapidly become
dominant in every part of the country,
the law of the league superseding
as formerly the law of the land the
German submarines will be able TO
smuggle in arms to them, or to leave
in their charge stores of petrol; drill
ing and preparation of rebellion will
20 on with little concealment; ostenta-
tiously impudent defiances of the
connection with Great Britain will
abound. until, if the war lasts long
enough, things are ripe for a second
rebellion"
The consequences may not be serious
if peace comes soon; but while the war
lasts the Irish Republicans under the pro-
posed settlement will evidently gain
ground, for it is highly improbable that
thev will be dealt with more vigorously
than in the past, highly improbable that
Mr.. Redmond's government will be stronger
than Mr.. Birrell's. This is the ground
upon which the irreconcilable Unionists
continue to oppose the new measure, their
contention being that the supposed con-
ciliation fails to take into account the only
party which is serious menace to peace
in Ireland.

BEER DRINKING Is NOT

DR.. Edwin +. Bowers says:
"To prove, out of their own
mouths, that the Germans are not
nearly so enthusiastic about beer as
some beer-boosters would have us
believe, We have but to glance at
these excerpts from an army pamph-
let entitled alcohol and the Power
of Resistance circulated widely
among German soldiers:
There is no justification for
calling beer liquid bread glass
of heavy beer costing twenty-five
pfennig has no more nourishment
than a piece of cheese costing one
