ANOTHER RELAPSE IN DIVINITY"

The kaiser recently suffered from a return OF the
divine agony. He told some soldiers the o!he uay
that he would be in the first trenches lighting, ana, mdyDe.
diving, for his country, "but the inscrutable Almighty
villed otherwise. Into my care has been committed by
divine destiny the leadership OF our country, us TIM
and ire forces q n land and sea. y y 4 My life must be
conserved carefully x y 4 in order to carry out the
duties assigned to me by divine appointment.
There you have it all over again. 1t is lncomPIeheh
sible to us in America. but it may be reconeilable with the
German ideals. lust when and where and now 1ou'
the Almighty, designated and appointed W1Ilam u
zollern has not been made madifest to the rest OF tne
world. We do know that the original fohenIohelh
fought and bought and married himself into authority
His best and biggest start was made out of making a loan
to another ruler and he sort OF toreclosed the mortgage
Then he contracted many marriages that forecloSed on
more authority. No man can read these early transac-
tons and come to the conclusion that the hand OF GOD was
in the matter, but rather the hand of selfish ambition
And after him the sons of this mighty house have assumed
the same rights-but where God, the Almighty, comes
into the bargain is in no wise plain, or even dimly mani
fest.
1t will be recalled that in the beginning Austria had a
grievance against Serbia, largely trumpet up to make an
excuse for invading that little country. If in that hour
the kaiser had said to the emperor of Austria, Let your
grievance be arbitrated by a conference OF the powers
as the other great powers were urging both upon Austria
and upon Germany-there would have been no war, and
the millions who are dead would still have been cult1vat1ng
their fields and operating their shops. But the kaiser, 1t
may be recalled, returning to his capital, went into his
closet to pray, and when he emerged he whispered to the
war junkers who were in waiting that 1t would be war
and war it was.
Did God, the Almighty, in that hour he spent alone
tell him to make the war? Is the carnage, the suffering.
the hell on earth throughout the world the work of God?
Was the kaiser under "divine' guidance and compulsion
when he went into that dark closet and decided the awful
destiny of Europe? One word spoken to the enfeebled
Austrian emperor, and that word, "~arbitrate,' would have
spared the world what it is now suffering. Did God for
bid that one sweet word?

The beet sugar production this year amounts to 2,OOO,
100000 pounds, at an estimated value of SIOO,OOO,OOO. The
amount is about one-fifth of our normal consumption
But while our consumption of sugar has doubled we have
Quadrupled our production of sugar. Another decade or
two at most we shall be in position to supply ourselves
with sugar if the industry is kept growing. AS against
our two billions of pounds Germany has produced six

THE VOTE OF MILITIAMEN

The question of enabling the militiamen lined up
along the southern border to vote at the approaching gen
eral election is up for consideration in several states. In
all probability the vote of no state will be so close as to
hinge on this factor, but you never can tell. In 1884 the
margin of Cleveland over Blaine in New York state was
only a matter of 1000 votes. New York has 1900 absent
national guardsmen. and no small concern is expressed.
There is a difference of opinion as to the bearing of
New York's constitution in this relation. The organic
law of the state provides that "in time of war no elector
in the military service of the state or of the United States,
in the army or navy thereof, shall be deprived of his vote
by reason of his absence from such CHS OWN district.
In pursuance of this provision, the legislature is empow-
cred to describe the manner, time and place in which the
absentees may vote and make due provision for the return
and canvass of their votes. The question is whether the
phrase Fin time of war has the effect of debarring the
legislature from providing for absentee voting on the part
of citizens away on military duty when a state of war is
not actually in evidence, and the further question is sug-
eested of what constitutes a state of war.
The sun also is suffering from the heat. The other
day he appeared with a spot 1900 miles across his face.
and the next day he was broken out with a sudden rash
in the form of I27 spots. An astronomer stopped to
count them. Presumably there is some conflagration
going on in the sun or he would not be able to do so much
scorching at a distance of over ninety millions of miles.
What is the urgent need for more men on the border:
that the army reserves are being called out? Does our
great and good friend Carranza require more of an object
lesson than he has eceived?
President Wilson lets it be known that he has not
changed his position on votes for women, or. rather, that
ago.
The debate between the belligerents as to who owns
the ocean may vet be determined BY the neutrals.

In Maine. as usual, they will hold an early state cleo
ton, on the nth of September. 1t will be the national
testing ground again. The verdict of that state is consid-
cred SO important that both parties will participate in the
campaign, through their national organizations. 1t is
limited that even the president NAV invade the state for a
series of speeches.
