No prcDorednnIs for Peace.


II American business can weather
the storm of a world war, It surely
ought to be able to " Gather the com
Daratiye calm OF world peace, rea-
son the Democrats. 4his Is the kind
Of argument one hears on back
porches OF sanitariuTns. American
business has weathercd the storm Of
war because American products have
been without competition md have
been necessary to the conduct OF
the war. When the CONFLICT ceases,
when Europe lays aside gun and
grenade and takes up spade and ham
mer, then Will come tho seal test.
Then American business will face the
inoxorable law Of the surylnl OF the
flttest.
Instead Of preparing for t1le day,
Democrats arc giving voice TO full
dinner-paIl oratlons, utterlng specl-
ous platitudes OF which the above Is
a fair sample, and are prophCIying
prosperity. If the fortunes are Llnd,
the crisis will not arrive until the
voters have had opportunity to make
needed change in our economic lea d.
ershlp. Democratic tariff boarAls,
anti-dumpng legislation, etc, are
mere vote-baitIng sops. They ase
conceived In lnsincerlty. The reiG'
need Is genuine protection and Re-
publican administration at the helm,
and the country will so express itself
In November.

lending u Billion.

France comes to America for an
other $1OO,00O,O0O. This new loan
will make the total borrowings by the
belligerent nations in this country
since the war began more than a
billion. 1t is a greater sum than any
other neutral people ever loaned to
warning people. Only the French
loans to Russia in times Of peace and
over long term Of years can sur
pass in magnitude these American
loans to Europe and Canada. We are
in peculiar position, because we are
storehouse and factory for the Al
lies, as well as a banker
In the nearly two years since the
war began United States exports
have exceeded United States imports
by about $3,OOO,OOO.OOO. which is
fully three times the normal amount.
SO It seems, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, that in making these great
loans to the Allies this country is
merely lending them their own money
which was sent here to purchase sup
piles. Our farmers and manufactur-
ers and other producers we're paid
record high prices for what they have
sold, so that. financially considered,
the United States is making first
class bargain when II tends the Allies
money at fair rate with which to
go on buying. 1t is an Interesting
fact, however. that the American
people now own as large an amount
of foreign obligations as they possess
Of United States government bonds.

Twas a warm night in Constanti-

hot was 1t that the very cats on the
back balustrades were hopping their
brows with their paws.
Ben Bum-Voyage rolled up Main
Plaza, hiccoughing, towards his pala-
tial home, "Harem Bum-Voyage." The
other harems all seemed to rock and
lean towards him in his unsteady prog

crowding for first place, stood his en-

Rctter Schools Sought.

From the day DR.. P. P. Claxton
assumed his duties as United States
commissioner Of education, a nation
wide campaign has been waged ior
better rural schools. Commissioner
CLAYTON is now in his fifth year OF
service and every year during his ad'
ninistration he has insisted on ad-
yanced steps being taken by the Du-
reau itself for rural school progress
as well as to urge upon Administrative
school officers. teachers and patrons
throughout the nation the imperative
necessity for improving the rural
schools ,o,.
Secretary Lane, Of the department
of the interior, in his annual report
for 1915 to the president OF th's
United States sounds clarion cal
for a nationwide campaign for bet
for rural schools. He urges upon
Congress the appropriation Of $780,
0oO for two or three years with
which TO wage this campaign. For a
cabinet officer to take such Dolu
stand for the long-neglected rural
qchocl gives new hope to the friends
or rural education throughout the
country.
In education opportunity the city
girl and boy have privileges far su-
perlor TO those OF the farm boy AMI
farm girl. In funds, IN length OF
term in equipment, In buildings, IN
administration and supervision, IN
course of study, In efficiency of the
teaching force, and In salaries paid,
the superiority OF the city schools Is
so far above that Of the rural schools
