Justice. Then ProsperItv.


The difference between the men in
Office now in city, in state and in fed
eral government, and those men in
office 20 years ago, in those rather
narrow but controlling areas OF our
politics where there are actually
marked differences, lies not in mat
ters of honesty, not in matters OF ca,
pacity, not in matters of party faith.
The real difference is found In their
philosophy of life, William Allen
White writes in the New York Inde-
pendent. The political leaders of ma
j~orities in the eighties and nineties
of the last century believed In bust
ness for itself, that prosperity was an
end of itself. Today our governments,
city, state and national, are more or
less under the control of men who all
profess, and who in the main believe
that Justice is more important than
prosperity. And the politicians are
only taking their cure from the peo-
pie. A sense of justice-with here a
backset. and there a reaction-is
growing steadily and overwhelmingly
in the American heart.

left the Cabinet. The contemplation Of
Bryan in the Democratic national con
v%ention of 1916 has never been a pleas
ing prospect to Wilson, for he has
vivid knowledge Of Bryan's ability to
sway conventions to his own manner
of thinking. And Bryan's manner of
thinking is net Wilson'S manner, nor
are Bryan's principles the principles Of
Wilson. We do not doubt that the
quiet tip was sent from the White
House to Nebraska to defeat Bryan.
Bryan, accordingly, has been defeat
ed-but only for a seat in the st. Louis
convention. The treachery of the vii
son men in Nebraska has temporarily
overcome the unsuspecting friends of
Bryan, but he latter will be more alert
XXI time. Their hour will come when
they go to the polls in November. They
will not forget who b~utchered Bryan
this spring-and the fall killing which
they will make will be gratifyingly

zeppeIIns Built Since the War.

According to a dispatch from Berne.
Switzerland, there are now some
eighty Zeppelins in the German
service. This statement is said to
be based on information developed at
Friedrichshafen. where the airship
works are located. Recently one Of
the latest type Zeppelins made a trial
fight. 1t bore the number LZ-95, and
in design varied considerably from the
ante-bellum Zeppelins. It's gondolas
are said to be of plated steel. The
craft is plentifully supplied with ma
chine guns and apparatus for throw
ing bombs and aerial torpedoes;
among the latter being a new type
which is reported to be far more pow
erful then n heretofore developed
In fact, rumor has it that the new
aerial torpedo is to play a prominent
mart in the event of the German war
ships and Zeppelins coming out from
their sheltering harbors and engaging
in battle with the British feet in the

Steel rail production is one of the
best indications of the country's busi-
ness. The last Republican tariff law
became effective the latter part of 1909.
During 1910 our mills produced 1884,
600 tons of steel rails. In 1911, $685.
900 tons. The Democratic tariff law
took effect October 4, 1913, and in 1914
our steel rail production dropped to
l,945, 900 tons, while importations from
Canada increased 100 per cent. In 1915
we produced 100000 tons, and i'm.
ports from Canada, compared with
1913, increased ESQ per cent. Under the
abnormal condition treated by the
war the United States is now the chief
source of supply for rails, and since
January first Of the present year, or
ders have been booked for 100000
tons. Do not get an idea this is due
to the wonderful success Of the Demo
cratic administration, although they
are trying to take credit for it.

Homer Brtet, U. S. consul at La
Guaira, Venezuela, says in his report:
The United States sold more agricul
tural implements in Venezuela in the
first six months of 1915 than in any
entire year. This trade has been bene-
fitted because of the good prospects the
war has brought to the Venezuela
sugar industry" This is quoted as an
excellent example of what is meant
by the indirect action of the European
struggle on our present prosperity. It
is not a question Of politics.

There is an old line to the effect
that cit takes nine tailors to make a
man." A japanese tailor is paid 80
cents a day. Nine japanese tailors get
about what one American tailor is paid
and the Democratic low tariff will give
all Japanese tailors a job working on
clothing measured in American and
made up in japan. Such is the folly
