A FACTOR IN WORLD AFFAIRS,
By Viscount Bryce. ]


 The United States now numbers more than twenty times the popula- tion of washington's day It has be- come a great power. to which the world looks as the strongest and most impartial exponent Of neutral opinion. The United States stands in an es- pecial degree for the principles of in- ternetional justice and international law. It has done more than any oth- CT nation to advocate the substitution of arbitration for war, and to improve the rules and assert the value of the principles of public law as governing international relations.
 Less than ever before can the Unit ed States view with an indifferent eye the conflict, wherever in the world it may be waged- for principles which 1t has done so much to promote. prin. ciples interwined with it's own life and growth. It's greatness and it's history alike impose on 1t a unique responsi bility.
 Were Washington alive now would he not recognize such a responsibil fly? He certainly could no longer say in the words of his message Europe has Q set of primary inter ests which to us have none or a yer.

Here is an under taking which the changes of the last seventy years have made a matter of common concern to every part of the world. No great nation. whatever its maxims or poi.c' nave heretofore been, can. if it approves the end in view. stand sioof from the effort to attain that end. now more than ever urgent

CHICKENS COME HOME TO
 BOOST.

H Natural causes bring natural effect. \ Cut the revenues of the city or state ! or nation. and you reduce the eff
 ciency of its institutions unless you
 are able to provide revenues to re-
 place those cut out, which you are
 seldom able to do because sll the avenues of revenue are generally if not always well covered.
 \ Congressman Hobson of Alabama
 is the prohibition leader in Congress.
 His influence has been sufficient to ' place Alabama in the prohibition ranks, and the result has been disas- trous to Alabama School efficiency. hrehghting efficiency. public improve mems ard charities. health department efficiency and other municipal and state efficiency have been greatly re duced by the lack of revenues result ing from prohibition and Aiahama's inability to make up the losses. Yes terday Alabama refused by an over whelming majority to allow Hobson to represent it in Congress again the reward of the spoiler who is ever ready to spoil something without of .ering in return anything which may compensate. except a theory of his Hohson and his work was the cause of A.sbama's injuries. and Alabama , is denouncing and repudiating him now.
 Hobson never got very far with his theories in Congress He introduced resolutions and talked wildly and away from the facts. but Congress kept him down where he belonged. He wasn't much in Congress-he was devil in his own home town and now his home town repudiates him, just as our Own Home Town will rep udiate all and sundry all men who eonspire with success to bring chaos here and ruin the camp. If there was anything worth while Nationally or locally in prohibition. il would have hold and strength in Congress, which it has not and cannot have. More than one-third Of the revenues Of the entire United States come from taxing the liquor industry. and the pro portion extends to the states and the cities There are great fnaneiers in Congress. and great fnanciers back Of many of the congressman. If it were possible to figure out a satis- factory revenue-raiser to cover the iavariable losses Of prohibition. we may take il for granted that such system would have been figured out and presented to Congress. The best they have arrived at to date is that the income tax shall be doubled and the exemption cut to s1,000, but this gained little or no support The poor man would be for that. but the rich man objects. The rich man has no desire to see liquor sold. but he does refuse to bear all the cost of deriving c AOGIQ OA u4dAk UT SpAt 4AOLc OCf CA as he doesn't care so much whether the world drinks or not
 As in Hobson's case, so will it be in the case of every man who in Fair banks or any other town works at a revenue reducing proposition until 1t carries-such man will be rewarded with no laural vreaths when the re turns from his work are in. We wouldn't care to accept the fate of the tovn-destroyer. nor would we care to attempt to destroy a town that we were not of ana yet lived of of.

sERvASTITIs CURED IN ENGLAND

England has no more servant troubles for there are no servants to be obtained. With the exception of a lew old retainers most of the maids have become intuition workers, in which occupation they receive three or four times the remuneration they got in doing housework with the add ed satisfaction that they are doing their bit" and helping fathers, broth CTS and sweethearts in the trenches
 This situation has its pathetic side too. Many middle class people in Eng land who actually need a servant be cause Of sickness in the house are suffering. their sons being at war or at home wounded and daughters work ing in intuition factories or hospital contingents.

FORGOTTEN MILLIONS IN BANKS
tKansas City Star.l

tNdAc6S Stts otoi.f The banks of the state of Pennsyl. vania hold 56.000.000 of forgotten ac- counts. the owners of which have is. nored them for IA years or more. The number of such accounts is fig ured at 2.ooo.o0e. I
 Last year an escht at act was pass ed. requiring the banks to advertise widely the names of owners of for gotten accounts. calling on them to appear and claim the money. In the event the money is not claimed. it is to revert to the school fund Of the state. thereby reducing the taxes of the citizen.
 Now it develops that two banks at Harrisburg, the state capital. have joined in a suit to have the escheat act declared unconstitutional As might be expected. they are making every effort to avoid publicity, the idea being to obtain a ruling before the state enforces the act.
 The entire purpose of the act was to restore to depositors money which they either had overlooked or forgot ten. or inherited. which is held by banks or trust companies without the owners knowledge. David Speer, of Pittsburgh. manager of the estate of David H. Speer. wealthy lumber man. is endeavoring, together with Fleming Nevin, to have the state of fcials force the act
