POLISH INDEPENDENCE"

There is less enthusiasm among American Poles the German promise of independent Polish kingdom, since the conditions accompanying that "independence have been made known. The manifesto of freedom sued by Germany and Austria very hay with spect to the relation the kingdom the Teutonic powers. It followed immediately by a statement that showed the real purpose of the Teutons Reconstructed Poland is have native army based on the German model and trained by German officers.
 The conclusion is irresistible that Germany and Aus tra have adopted this device Poland from mi tary liability into military They let Poland win it's freedom by defending itself against Russia incidentally acting buffer between Russia and the Germanc powers and enabling the latter shorten their battle lines Moreover if the plan is carried out, will presumably enable Germany and Austria to draw upon the whole able-bodied population of Poland to fill the gaps in their armies Nearly all the German and Austrian have been wiped the human re- sources at home almost exhausted Poland after all she has suffered is supply the needed German reserves as the price of her own freedom
 It may he that Poland will accept nominal freedom such terms, becoming virtually subordinate of the German empire. But the Poles have before been reconced to anything short of complete autonomy. and it is doubtful whether they will be now.

IMMORAL ADVICE TO MERCHANTS.

The Modern Merchant and Grocery World may be an honest and respectable publication but piece of advice it gave its merchant readers lately fagrany i'm moral.
 Consumers being educated today" it remarked, -by variety of conditions to pay good prices for thing they buy The retail merchant who doesn't take advantage that had better drop Never again will he have such a chance"
 In other words grab while the grabbing's good! Peo- ple getting high prices, and rather expect them while they compain-so soak them to the limit Charge "al the traffic will bear" for everything If rise in the wholesale price of butter forces you to raise the retail price five pound raise too if they you the before. If flour goes up egmatey raise cornmeal and peas and beans along with it. If potatoes double in price owing to a real scarcity add dollar bushe to apples, matter what heyre worth. High prices in the air. Take ad vantage of the psychology of the thing; the belief ttat "everyhings going up and him! The poor boob will know the difference.

STATE SAYS II HAS M'DANIEL'S MOTIVE
 FOR SHAVING WIFE
Prosecution Will Seek to h. troduce Testimony That Di- vorce Proceedings Were Contemplated.
(sy Review Leased Wlrel

ST. JOSEPH, Nov. 22.-An import ant part of the states case not yet presented against Prosecutor Oscar D. Mcdaniel tonight hangs in the bal ance of a legal decision to be made tomorrow by Judge Thomas F. Ryan. The prosecution declared today that through evidence yet to be adduced the state will attempt to prove a motive for the murder of Mrs. Me Daniel
 The testimony, Attorney General Barker said in his argument as to its admissibility after the jury had been taken from the court room, will show that Mrs. McDaniel had considered obtaining a divorce from her husband, that she had knowledge of certain alleged misdeeds by MT. McDariel as prosecuting attorney. and that he had been infatuated with other women. The point was raised when the state called R. A. Hartley, head of a local detective agency, as witness.
 Did Mrs. Mcdaniel ever visit your agency?" Hartley was asked.
 Yes, shortly before she was mur- dered," the detective replied.
 What was the purpose Of her visit?"
 Judge c F. Strop, of the defense. ob- iected to this question and the jury was removed from the court room dur ing the argument which continued un- til adjournment.
 The state attempted today to de velop further testimony concerning a scream said to have been heard from the Mcdaniel home before II o'clock the night of the murder, in efforts to overcome the prosecutors story that he returned to his residence about II o'clock the night Of the murder. Mrs. Wilhelmina Hermann. whose bedroom windows were less than 50 feet from the house, declared she heard a ter rible scream she thought she TecCE- nized as the voice of Mrs McDaniel."
 Mrs. Hermann also collapsed during the cross-eyaminatio tion and was re- moved to her home in an ambulance.
 Judge Ryan announced in court he had been informed one of his rulings had been hissed and that a repetition would draw a fine for contempt of court.

THE sELF-ABoLIsHINe SALOON.

In view of the that several states have dry and William Jennings Bryan prophecies that both of the big political parties may declare for prohibition in the presidential campaign, warning saloons from the Chicago Tribune is unusually pertinent.
 'The American saoon," says the Tribune. tits meth doing generally considered is the friend of the prohibition movement"
 The Tribune finds no fault with the "neighborhood saloon where respectable citizens go quiet little club to s talk and drink their beer Such place may conform alcohol But the typical American bar-room according to distinguished thory 's designed to furnish shot of booze, and lin elegant of its function is found the whole issue against the liquor business"
 Alcohol has been tolerated by mankind thousands of years it served social purpose Whether defensibe for the purpose of promoting sociability may debated by morasts However that may be- the Tribune declares that the American saloon doesn't even make sociable cit only makes them drunk.
 Many other countries have found alcohol not incon sistent with temperance. France, Italy and Germany long been known only for their tolerance of drink the responsibility of their drinking places Russia and England, where the liquor traffic according systems that encouraged hard drink ing, have reformed The former has barred strong liquors absolutely and the latter has severely restricted the conditions which liquor may bought sumed.
 Our liquor business has not been by the govern ment like the Russian, encouraged by the men like the British It has been wholly in the hands of private interests particularly combinations of brewers and dstiers Their business methods primarily sponsibe the wave of prohibition now sweeping country As matters look now the only possible way of staving off national prohibition is by changing the char of the American saloon.
