SUBMARINE ACTIVITY.

We hope that Chancellor Won Bethmann
Hollweg's recent declaration before the
Reichstag that EVERY" means possible
should be employed to reduce their enemies
was one of the empty gestures to which the
Germans are SO fond of alluding, and does
not foreshadow the resumption of sub
marine activity.
Germany's assurance last May that she
had modified her methods of submarine
warfare, was framed in the following
words:
In accordance with the general princi-
pies of visit and search and the destruction
of merchant vessels recognized by inter
national law, such vessels, both within and
without the area declared a naval war zone,
shall not be sunk without rning and
without saving human lives, unless the ship
attempts to escape or offer resistance"
1t was this promise that averted a break
between Germany and the United States.
In June and July, the submarine activity
fell off considerably, but of late it has
shown an ominous increase. During the
past two months it has practically doubled
Two hundred and seventy-six ships. ac-
cording to official figures, were sunk BY
German U-boats from June 1 to September
"a, and fifteen without warning Sixty-six

CONSOLIDATING ROAD WORK.

By the same token that there is always
strength in union, Commissioner Bar
rineau's plan to consolidate all the road
camps and teams under one management
deserves careful consideration.
To establish road camp arbitrarily in
each district, irrespective OF the needs of
that district, opens the way to petty in
srigue and inefficient management.
Commissioner Barrineaus plan is to
nave all tie work centralized Instead of
three camps there will be orly one camp,
ard being movable, will follow the work.
thereby avoiding Tie loss of time inevitable
with the stationary camps, miles from the
days work.
Not to mention this loss. the extra
guards, the increased upkeep and super
vision meant an outlay of about $500
month of the county's money which Mr..
Barrineau has estimated would be saved
under the consolidation plan.

A NATIONAL MOVIE.

A great peace has settled upon the land,
"a serene calm has come to the sons of
men. For Roosevelt and Taft have shaken
hands. If they had been French, they
would have kissed.
After calling each other mean names for
years and making faces at each other
across the country, they were reconciled
Tuesday night at the reception of the Union
League club in New York, in honor of the
undiluted candidate
"How do you do2" quoth Mr.. Taft to
Mr.. Roosevelt, and How do you do?"
spake Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.. Taft. They then
bowed and shook hands Gust like any gen
tleman would shake hands, added Mr.. Taft,
in explanation of what otherwise might
have been mistaken for form of calisthen-
les. And so the Ratchet was buried.
"Iet dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God hath made them so;
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For tbs their nature, too
But children, you should never let
Such angry passions rise;
Your little hands made
To tear each others eyes,"
We hope there was moving picture
apparatus concealed az some coign OF van
tage to immortalize the classic meeting
From the rock-bound shores of Maine to the
olean-laved coasts of California; from the
cactus wastes of Texas to the aurora
| borealis Of Alaska, millions of Americans
are all a-tremble TO see reproduced before
! their grateful eyes the Roland and Oliver
meeting; to watch the lips frame the syl-
tables "how do you do'' to note the manly
l off ho1r cfcf two
tagonists struggle with the lump in their
| throats!
Some there are who say it is the first
herald of the millennium, that it ushers in
the age, foreseen by Biblical prophecy, when
all evil will be driven out of the world
when passion will give way to brotherly
dove, and JOY will reign supreme; that it
prehgures the era when the wolf shall dwell
with the lamb, and the lion shall eat straw
like an OK, and lie down with the failing
and a little child shall lead them.
1t is too soon to say for sure, but fat
ling is remarkably descriptive of Taft; the
allusion to the lion eating straw may be
taken as emblematical of Roosevelt's sWal
lowing man of that material; while the
little child leading them is a not inapt de
scription of Hughes, who like the tiny tot
in the moving picture drama, brings two
ldistraught souls together, and as their
hands slowly clasp and the light of love
breaks over their faces like dawn over I;
snow peak, puts an arm around the neck o
each and draws them together, while h,
beams heavenward in thirty-two foo
closeup Just before the announcement
that it was Passed by the National Boarc
of Censors!
