cipIe. That labor intends to remain passive is indicated by it's realization that under the circumstances the com pulsion bin as passed has been made necessary by the existing conditions and that it would be unwise to oner substantial resistance thereto.
 While labor has not shown any en- thusiasm over the plan for securing additions to the army and navy 1t is evident that it realizes that the voluntary recruiting system needs greater encouragement than 1t has been getting, and thus while the new law may not actually mean conscrip- ton as some interpret 1t. it should result in different attitude on the part of those Britishers who are anx- ious that others should display their patriotism but fail to do 1t them selves. Labor may be opposed to militarism, but it apparently realizes that it must give its country the nec- essary aid when it comes to matching the efforts which the enemy Is putting forth, and the manner in which the other allies are responding.

A GREAT LESSON.

President Wilson has changed his mind concerning a tariff commission and he offers in explanation thereof the fact that all the circumstances of the world have changed. That ex cuse is of course opportune, but the president has been forced to change his mind in other particulars and he not only looks at the tariff in a dif- ferent light today, but he has differ ent views upon preparedness.
 It is true that the war has given 8 new insight into many things, but it is also true that experience is most valuable teacher and while the war has disclosed the weakness of this of defense it has been responsible for the era of prosperity which has open ed up throughout the country.
 Tariff for revenue only has been the hobby of the administration. It has been put into effect and it's ad- vocates have brought about some big changes in the tariff schedules and the result has been that the revenues have been seriously impaired. There has been a revelation as to what such a tariff revision actually means and the taxation of the people of this country has been resorted to to make up for the losses sustained. The ef- feet must have made it's impression even though it is handy to blame ev- erything just now upon the war.
 The fact of the matter is that a tariff commission is advisable at any time. The facts which it can pre- sent to those who must regulate the tariff are too valuable to be disregard ed and while changed circumstances may get the credit for the altered attitude, it cannot help being inferred that the experience in putting free trade ideas into effect has likewise had it's effect. It was a lesson con- corning tariff revision which was found to have a wholesome effect in the future whether the president had come out for a tariff commission or mt

ARMED MERCHANTMEN,

From the course which it is dis closed this country has decided to take relative to armed merchantmen, it would appear that it had started out on the difficult task of proving to the belligerents on both sides that they are wrong and getting them to agree to conduct their submarine war fare in accordance with international law.
 The details of the effort have not been made public, but it is appar- ently felt that safety on the high seas should be guaranteed by all the na- tions at war and that the only way in which this can be assured is to have them come. to an understanding on the matter, to the effect that mer- |ehantrnen will not go armed, even for defense purposes, and that all nations in the use of submarines will obey all the requirements imposed upon other vessels before attacking an en- emy ship.
 In view of the experience that this country has had with the central DOW CTS as the result of the disregard for human life, the failure to give warn ings to ships before they were tor pedoed and the leaving of the passen- gers to the mercies of the high seas in small boats, it is evident that sim liar obstacles are going to be en- countered in putting forth such a proposition as it appears this coun- try is e1rdeavoring to do.
 That the proposition may be req sonable furnishes little ground in this instance, for compliance with it by those countries which are responsible for merchantmen carrying arms, ex- cept that it may be that they are ready to live up to the promises that have been made. There could be no oppo- sition to disarmament if it were not for the high-handed manner in which submarine warfare has been conduct ed and the fear that promises made even now will not be resnacted

southeast and southwest during the month of February, that does not mean summer weather-not by a long sight.
 February will open cold; next Tues day is ground hog day, and unless all signs fail he will not see his shadow at any time of the day. A big storm is due early in February, another from the 10 to 18th, another from 22d to 25th, and a rip-roaring sizzler from the last of February to March 2.
 There will be many zero days in February, 1916, and also more of these balmy days like May.
 The coldest period of the winter will be the first week in February. The stormiest period from Feb. 29 to March 4.
 Don't think because wasps, worms, flies and even mosquitoes are out that January ends winterAfor a cold snap, and very cold one, is right at hand.
 I am writing this Jan. 27, a day or two earlier than I should, owing to the fact that several people have written me that I take the last Friday in the month to tell the following months weather by. I do nothing of the kind. The moon changes tonight, and conse- quently my date is here, Friday or no Friday.
 The fellow who follows Friday signs is like the one that expects some one to die when a dog howls. As a rule, some one does die-that is, when a dog howls in Boston some one may die in Chicago!

a great city in ancient times, especial ly after it was rebuilt by Zobeideh, wife of Haroun- -el-RaSchid. It once had $500 houses and forty mosques, and was renowned for it's silk weav CTS and brass workers. But civil wars, earthquakes and economic causes brought about it's decay. There is still seen the famous leaning minaret, 130 feet high, which once served as an ori- ental divorce court. Unfaithful wives were dragged up the spiral staircase to the top and showed of. Four miles from Kashan are the remains of the wonderful palace built by Shah Abbas, the greatest of the Persian monarchs. The. oasis constructed by the Shah is still green. its pavilions are gay with paintings and mosaics and its gardens full of roses, watered by streams that run through blue tiled channels. In this palace a political tragedy was en- acted in 1863. Mirza Khan, prime min ister and own brother-in-law of the reigning Shah, was condemned to death. He asked permission to com init suicide, and opened a vein in his arm in one of the ancient, tiled bath rooms of the palace. The ruined pal ace with its summer houses amid trees and gardens, surrounded by des- ert, is described as the most beautiful thing of its kind in the world.
 Kashan is also famous for it's SCOT pions, which are said to be among the largest and most poisonous reptiles In the world.

THE SHIPPING BILL

When the announcement is being made that the shipping bill which has failed to get an endorsement either from congress or from the people is about to be urged with greater deter imitation than ever because of the hope that the changes which have been made in it will cause congress to look at it in a different light it is difficult to understand how such a measure can be urged with any stronger facts to support it than have already been put forward
 It is impossible to get away from the governmental ownership feature and the fact that the government with private capital in business where the laws of the nation are at the present time driving the American flag off the high seas instead of giv- ing the encourag cement which is de- served and which ought to be forth coming
 There can be no question but what there is need of more ships by which to handle the trade of this country with foreign nations That need is paramount at the present time, and under proper conditions capital stands ready to make the necessary outlay to meet the situation, but nothing whatever is being done to remove the obstacles.
 Neither is 1t apparent as to just how the government is going to pro- vide the necessary vessels when there are none on the market and when the silipyards of the country are choked with the business which private cap itaf has provided. If the same amount of energy was used by the govern ment authorities to get satisfactory shipping regulations and to give the needed boost to the American mer- chant marine as is being put back of this bill there could be little ques- ton about. the early solution of the problem, but the shipping bill appears to be another of those theories which the administration insists upon trying out before 1t will be satisfied.

Stories of the War
Kashan, the Place from Which the
 Wise Men Started.

Kashan, the Place from Which the
 Wise Men Started.
 The brief despatch that the Russians have taken Kashan in Persia brings another romantic name into the the ater of war operations. It is almost a sacred name, as tradition says it was from Kashan that the Wise men start ed on their holy pilgrimage to Beth lehem so many Christmases ago.
 Every step taken both by the Rus sian and British expeditions in this corner of the world is in a country of interesting history and tradition. The British, from a base on the supposed site of the Garden of Eden, operated against Bagdad. the city of the Ara bian Nights, and the Russians in their advance on Kashan recently took Ha- madam, the ancient Ecbatana, which contains, according to the Mohamme- dans, the tombs of Esther and Morde- cai.
 The belief that at Kashan the Wise Men of the East first saw the star of Bethlehem has found support among learned Christian theoiogians. But however that may be. Kashan became

PRESIDENT ON PREPAREDNESS.

Preside..> Wilson has fired his open ing gun in behalf of preparedness and there can be no question but what he speaks with a full knowledge of what he is talking about when he gives warning that plans for the re- adjustment of the army must be for mulated and carried out without de- lay. The condition of this country today when it comes to the matter of defense is such that it would be the height of folly to do nothing what ever in the way of preparing against possibilities. No war actually threat ems this country, but as the president pointedly says, no man can tell what lE1e next day is going to bring forth and the only way to meet any crisis that might arise is to put our house in order so that we will not be caught in a state of unpreparedness which would be serious and costly.
 If the proper thought is given to the matter on the broad basis of ma tions' welfare it must be recognized that Mr. Wilson is right when he says i've must protect our rights as a na- tion and the rights of our citizens in America anG outside of it as the con- sensus of civilized peoples has defined them; must ensure the unembarrassed realization of cur political develop ment within our owH borders and must protect the peace and political autonomy of the Americas.''
 This is not a partisan view; it is only that to which every loyal citizen of this country must subscribe if he places country first and hand in hand with military preparedness must go industrial preparedness if the proper support is to be given to the needs of the nation. It is not matter in which partisanship should be allowed to stand in the way of needed action and from the recent declaration of Representative Mann there are good reasons for believing that it will not.

ATTITUDE OF BRITISH LABOR.

In spite of all the opposition that has been offered and threatened against conscription in England, it be- comes apparent from the vote taken by the labor organization of that country that it recognizes the situa- ton which exists and does not intend to place any obstacles in the way of a successful conduct of the war.
 The labor conference has been op- posed to conscription from the first and the last vote taken shows that ns body it is of the same mind by an overwhelming majority, but from the very fact that at the same time 1t does not intend to embarrass the government in the prosecution of the war it becomes evident that the opposition is simply matter of prin-

OTHER VIEW POINTS

War rumblings may disturb Sweden at present, but Denmark pretty cer- tainly is going to keep out of this war. She wants to keep out, and both Ger many and England want the same thing. This much is gleaned by cor respondents from conversations with officials in Copenhagen and well in formed persons there. If Denmark fights at all it must be with the allies. She lost Schleswig-Holstein to Ger many 52 years ago and has hated the Germans ever since. But Germany could cross the imaginary line sep arating the two countries and over run Denmark within a short time. Hence Denmark cannot afford to fight. New London Telegraph.
