or any other country is exhausted in
men or money or anything else.
Nobody writes about this very
strange fact. Yet, next to the dis
covery of the real France. it is the
biggest thing the war has brought out.
It upsets all we had ever heard or
read or innocently believed about war.
Yet, it is absolutely certain and un'
deniable.
Modern war. we used to say-heav'
en- bless US for lot Of ninnies!-
is SO terribly expensive that il It
comes it can last only a very short
time.
It is so terribly destructive of life.
We used to say-being ninnies as be.
fore-that any nation that fights will
in a short time have no men to fight
with.
Some Of US still cling hard to these
fancies and point to the empty treas.
ury Of the nation or another as sure
reason why it can't make war.
mo war chest. no fight" say we.
But the fact is, you can carry on
war without money. Colossal war, az.
gressive war, incessant war-you can
carry it on Indefinitely without cent.
The war chest is a myth, dream, 2
fable. Nations don't need any war
chest. All they need is a printing
press and, good, steady pressman.
Germany, the other day, hoated its
fifth war loan, a billion and a half Of

France knows she is very much
stronger now than she was when the
war broke. Great Britain has twenty
times as many men under arms. She
has more men in her training camps
at home than she has ever sent into
the war. The Russian army will
probably have received this year three
times as many recruits as 1t has lost
from its files.
In the way of supplies of men and
money these nations can fight through
a generation and then begin again!

Why should she? ..
True, she is piling up debt that
looks like Mont Blans, but that, after
all. needn't trouble her statesmen.
When the war is over she can re.
pudiate It. What's the use?
Then the British have favorite
dream that Germany is to be starved
to DEATH Let them forget that, also.
True, Germany, or the poorer part OF
it, is on rations and has been for two
years. But it is fed and in some ia

before, deficient feeding is having its

THROWN OUT OF COURT.

The Quashing of the indictments
against prominent Republicans OF Nc
Dowen county, secured through the
pernicious partisan activity OF Demo
cratic Federal officials, melted by The
obvious intent 10 discredit the Repub'
! lican leaders, puts an end TO the farci
cal pretensions Of the Democratic
politicians as conserYers Of political
purity. The decision Of the Federal
court was rendered by Judge Charles
"A. Woods, Of the United States Cir
cult Court Of Appeals, sitting with
Judge B. F. Keller Of the. United
States district court for the Southern
district Of West Virginia, the latter
concurring in the opinion OF his dis
/ tinguished associate, one Of the most
noted jurists on the Federal bench
According to the decision the prosecu-
ton had no right in law TO bring these
cases TO court: that it was q cause
in which the Federal government was
without jurisdiction.
It appears then that the United
States District Attorney. and his spe-
cial assistant in attempting to bring
these prominent Republicans into
court to be held up 10 public contempt,
!. did so in ignorance OF the law. and
are therefore not qualified TO hold the
responsible positions they were com
missioned for. Or, if they had knowl-
edge Of the law then their activity
In the matter was prompted BY malice.
The inception of these cases by
Democratic partisans found the Demo
cratic Federal officials receptive to
kheir suggestions. SO eager were they

RoEen county before the public
for the purpose OF gaining possible
party advantage, the Department OF
Justice at Washington was appealed
to for assistance in prosecuting them.
The response was the appointment OF
one OF the most bitter Democratic par
tisans as special counsel for the gov
eminent to push the charges. The
animuS of the whole proceedings is
made manifest in the argument Of Mt.
French, the special counsel. who con-
tended that the offenses alleged con-
stituted interference with the full en-
,idoyment Of the rights guaranteed h.

and Rosenbloom. Republican candi-
dates for the United States aenatc.
s AS neither of these gentlemen ap-
peared as prosecutors Of the alleged
infamy," the gratuitous assumption of
their injury makes only too plain the
object OF the Democratic effort for
mere partisan advantage, and the
hypocritical nature OF the profession
to conserve justice.

A FALTERING DEFENSE.

Those who heard Senator Borah' s

Its duplicity OF professed intent ano

Ibe surprised at the new revelations OF

by Charles Evans Hughes in his
speech at Richmond Indiana, where
the Republican candidate for PTesi-
dent cited the secret instructions CIV
en- MIR. Wilson's personal representa-
tive to Mexico, the more or less fam
GUS Silent John Lind, and which
showed that the Washington govern
lment was more interested in driving
Huerta out than It was concerned
about the protection OF the rights OF
american citizens, their lives and their
property. And what answer has the
administration always made 10 tho
charge of the failure to protect Am
orleans in Mexico, in contrast with the
Epromise to do 30. Why, the President
and his cornered apologists reply tina;
these Americans were exploiting the
Mexican people. The inference 10 be
drawn Is that "exploiters" are no bet
tier than bandits, and have no claim
ion their government for. protection,
although the Democratic platform of
El9I2 made no exception Of exploiters.
lit promised protection to every Am
erican citizen residing or having prop
erty in any foreign country
The plea that the Americans who
were murdered in Mexico were ex-
ploiters and had therefore forfeited
their right to protection is an after
thought Of those who shirked plain
duty and broke an explicit unqualified
promise. Senator Lodge in recent
speech denied that the Americans
murdered in Mexico we're exploiters.
They were In that country on lawful
missions: They were not capitalists,
but workingmen. For these capital
loutrages we have not even had an
apology, and it has been impossible to
get their names from the State De-
Ipartment. AS Mr.. Hughes well says
liz his Richmond address: There was
one clear duty for the American adj
ministration In connection with Mexico.
That was the protection Of American
lives and American property; at all
events that was clear and understand

THE MOBILES OF WOODROW

| Inc publicity UuAcdu a. SNou''
Lawn announces that President Viii
son will to-day formally answer the
charges made against his adminissra-
ton, particularly with reference to his
forcing the eight hour law on Con
gress and his humiliating surrender TO
the railroad brotherhoods There is
no doub. that Mr.. Wilson BY confus-
ing array of silky phrases and verbal
cloudiness will make some sort or
show fer MS act Of political eXpedl-
ency. But we cannot see how 1t is
possible for him to explain away his
lpliancy in the hands OF representa-
ltlyes of a great voting contingent, his
lack Of consideration for another class
rot so influential at the polls and his
Irepudiation of the great principle Of
arbitration in favor Of force.
But this is not the first time that
Woodrow Wilson has shown such ab-
! ject weakness in dealing with import
ant matters where the Cancellation OF
the voters was the first consideration.
There Is no doubt in the world that
the railroad brotherhoods knew their
man, and were encouraged to press
l. him through his action in signing the
: CLAYTON bill, the measure intended
specifically TO exempt labor organiZa-
lions and their individual members
from prosecution for conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade under the general
provisions Of the Sherman Antitrust
act; and his approval Of the rider" TO
tho Sundry civil appropriation bill Of
1913, preventing the Department OF
Justice from using any part OF It's
regular annual appropriation jn prose-
cutting crime when committed by labor
unions or combinations Of agricul-
!tural workers.
When we look back or these evil
;dencas Of his moral weakness, we can
isee that these first steps in expedi-
!ency but led the way to the greatec
enormity Of his last surrender. One
Of the great New York newspapers
which affects TO support him now,
Imercilessly scored him for approving
the rider 10 the Sundry civil bill. It's
remarks then will apply with equal
appropriateness TO his more recent
default. We quote from that very able
ijournal.;he New York Times:
| Physical weakness is pitiable, but
! such moral weakness as the President
| exhibits in signing tue Sundry Civil bill
! rider arouses other feelings than those

AN IMAGINARY ONSLAUGHT.

Mr.. Cornwell in his paper, the
Hampshire Review, intimated that lie
Republican papers were soon to launch
a campaign of personal abuse of the
Democratic candidate for governor.
OF course this is one Of the methods
employed BY Mr.. Cornwell Of instillius
in the minds OF the people an impress
sion that he is going 10 be mangned,
which will license him to do battle
against a fictitious onslaught. We
stan to see how the Democratic canGl-
Z date for governor, even in antici-
patton Of imaginary attacks, can con-
scientiously assume, BY inference, that
he Is injured before he is hurt. But 1t is
ar old trick OF mis-.
When Mr.. Cornwell talks OF those
opposed to him employing 'yillainous
methods Of attempting to blacken and
destroy private regulations" is he for
getting that he is running on plat
form that was conceived in political
: billingsgate and written with incon-
/. ceiyable malignancy, epithet and per
I. gonal abuse. He has endorsed that
platform by his candidacy, and SO
when he conceiyes that he is to be
subjected to like abuse is he not draw
ing on hope rather than reality?
One would be led to believe from
Mr.. Cornwells feyerish fantasy tina,
he Is conducting his personal cam
paigu on a high plane of tmpeccable
propriety. But there never has been
q more slanderous attack made on
any man than that Of Mr.. Cornweu on
Auditor Darst. Evading all OF Mr..
Darst's arguments in defense Of the
Republican administration the Demo
cratic candidate for governor descend
ed to picayune politics by throwing
doubts on the Auditors personal hon
! esty because he sold some property TO
some Of his employees, accusing MIN

! connection with his official position.
