ARTIFICIAL REMEDIES

If the vociferous element of the population would
cease demanding artificial remedies for every evil ana
would turn its attention to more natural, if less obvious,
remedies. real progress would be made. Embargoes will
not reduce the cost of living. On the contrary thev Will
reduce the purchasing power of the American people.
There are two ways of meeting the high cost OF Nv
ing. One is by individual effort, devoted to economies III
purchasing foodstuffs and in household management. An
other way is for the government it=+lt to evolve policies
which will bring about economies in manufacture and az
riculture.
Those who are advocating an embargo on toodstufis
apparently overlook the fact that the short crops are more
of a factor than the increased demand from Europe. There
is sufficient land available for an immense increase III the
crops of the nation. Moreover, if the United States were
producing as much per acre as most OF the foreign c"1n-
tries, the supply of foodstuffs in this country would be
greatly beyond any possible demand. Instead OF discuss
ing embargoes, congress should be directing It's attention
toward increasing the quality and quantity of reduction.
No good can come from the movement to check the
natural flow of trade. Whenever that experiment VS.
tried in the past it failed wholly in its object. There IS
no reason to suppose that this country can be independent
Of foreign sales at the present time when a considerable
portion of the nations prosperity is based upon the S.
OOo,OoO,oOO export trade.

THAT DISPUTE ABOUT MoBILIzATIoNs

In a recent speech Won Bethmann-Hollweg, discuss
ing the beginnings of the war, reviewed at some length
what has now become a somewhat famous incident, or &C
cident. That incident was the sale on the streets OF Der
lin of copies of a newspaper, the Lokalanzeiger, on July
80, 1914, at the exact hour of 2:45. This newspaper was
considered the organ of the Grown princes party" the
party stood for war on any pretense or pretext-Just war.
The accident was the sale of copies of this paper IN the VI
cinity of the Russian headquarters in Berln-and some
believe that such sales were not accidental, but by design,
to get the Russians to act. The Russians in Berlin did
act. The Lokalanzeiger announced in that edition that a
general German mobilization had been ordered. The
Russian ambassador Immediately wired that news to St.
Petersburg and the immediate answer of the Russians was
the order for mobilization on a wholesale scale. Then
Germany issued an order to the Russians to quit mobiliz-
ing or meet a declaration of war. The Russians did not
quit, and Germany, according to the time limit set in its
ultimatum, declared war on Russia.
Won Bethmann-Holweg admits that the Lokalanzeig-
er did print such an edition, but contends that it was i'm
mediately withdrawn when the authorities heard of it, and
an edition was issued correcting its earlier report. This
new edition was then brought to the Russian ambassa-
doris attention. The ambassador, therefore, or there
upon, sent a correction to his government.
According to the Russian ambassador, his message
announcing that the Lokalanzeiger announced a German
correction of the report was held up several hours, until
the time, we are told, was too late to recall the Russian
mobilization order which had been based on the first re-
port. A.. ]. Markof of the Russian telegraph agency in
Berlin says that he also sent a correction to St. Peters
burg, but later in the day he was informed that this tele-
gram had been held up by the German censors, from which
ne concludes that the Germans wanted the Russians to be
duped by that first telegram. Markoff has recently stat
ed further that the copies of the Loka1anzeiger were not
sold generally in Berlin, but only in the vicinities of the
Russian and French embassies, from which he concludes
that they wanted to provoke both the French and the Rus
sian governments to action.
The place to have stopped the war, if that was the
German intention, was at Vienna, not at Petrograd. 1t
was useless for Germany to tell Russia not to mobilize as
long as Germany did not tell Austria to quit making war
on Serbia. The German quit should have been sent TO
V1erna,no to PetrOgrad, and it would have been effective
to stop the war up to its beginning. Austria would not
have dared to go to war without the assurance of German
that assurance was actually given instead of be-
ing asked to withdraw or even modify the Serbian u1ti-
natum.

WHAT is H "AMERICAN" LANGUAGE?

A group of teachers proposes to discuss the "Ameri-
can language as distinguished from the "British-Eng-
lish." So far as this can be disassociated from any faint
of jingoism, it ought to be of distinctive service. 1t
should develop the existence, if such there be, of an "Amer-
lean" language, which is improbable. Certain colloquial
or idiomatic divergences may be noted in the spoken Ian
guage of the people, but these are mainly sectional and
formal language of the Englisf-speaking people, no mat
ter where found, is identical as to its form and nearly so
as to its exercise. Such differences as may exist are
to its building and growth, and has a full share in it's
glorles and its perplexities, too. Purists, who were light
~ laughed to confusion and retirement a few years ago,
may vet restore to favor the forms they contended for las
the correct usage of mans greatest instrument for the ex-
preston or concealment of thought. While waiting for
the teachers to get through, it might save time if plans
were laid for a cOnvocaion of dictionary makers, to deter
mine, if possible, on uniform pronunciation and spelling
of words.

PROMISE OF THE IMPENDING BUDGET

Estimates of appropriations submitted to congress at
it's opening contemplate the expenditure of 1908, 1894
This is exclusive of the receipts of the postoffice depart
ment, which must be counted into the total of appropria-
tions, thus presaging the entrance of the four dollar
congress. What does this mean for the country? Added
taxes to take care of increased expenditures, with the al
tentative of a bond issue. When President Wilson adj
dressed the congress last December he suggested some
new forms of taxation and a Surtax on incomes to meet
the growing disbursements of the government. These rec
cancellations were adopted and an issue of bonds was au-
thorized to defray expenses and yet the report from the
treasury shows a continually mounting deficit. In his ad-
dress to congress at the present session the president offers
no suggestion as to how to increase the income of the gen
eral government. Another important factor in the problem
is that the present income of the government is dependent
upon sources that are but temporary. Taxes on munitions
will disappear with the cessation of the traffic, while sur
taxes on incomes must dWlndle at any time the immediate
initiation is brought to an end. Inheritance taxes are but
casual and the revenue derived from alcohol and tobacco is
bound to drop with the closing of the war. How the adj
mln1stratlon will move to meet the situation cannot even
be conjectured, but it's record does not promise wisdom in
revenue legislation.

RAILROAD EMBARGO ON FOOD SHIPMENTS

Action of three of the big central trunk lines, decln-
ing to accept food consigned to eastern terminals, may
have an immediate effect on prices. The abnormal condi-
ton has defied analysis, and such inquiry as hastily has
been made by the federal authorities has served only to
support the statement made several days ago that enough
of our surplus food stock is held by spectators to enable
them to control the market and establish prices. Actual
producers have shared but lightly in the enormous in
crease in values. This makes the service of the embargo
just declared by the railroads questionable. Prices in the
west are certain to go down as a result, but it is not sure
if the effect will be felt by the eastern holders who have
accumulated such immense stocks of food along the sea-
board. The situation is just now at its acute stage. Lo-
cal boycotts serve only to give vent to popular protest, but
other signs that a change impends are not wanting. A
break in cotton prices reported from New Orleans of S.
per bale might be taken as indicating that a turn is com
ing in the course of the speculation that has taken such
enormous tribute from the American public within the
last few weeks. The railroad embargo will be a contrib
uting but not a controlling factor in this.

FLIES IN WINTER

Because summer is gone is no reason, in the opinion
of the chronological bureau of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, why people should relax their efforts
to swat the fly" On the contrary, it is urged that this
is the time to conduct the campaign with unceasing vigor.
since flies are induced by the warmth inside to enter the
house and are the more easily killed. The Importance of
ment bureau already referred to estimates that one female
fly surviving the winter will have 5,5oS,72o,ooo,ooo de
scendants by September, on the basis of a single LAYING of
eggs, while as a matter of fact three or four broods are not
unusual.
The swatter, therefore, is not the only implement
that should be employed in winter. Every crevice should
be searched out and every possible hiding place thrown
open to the dust brush and broom. Timely work no.
will save much trouble later. The governments advice
will not be necessary for the most careful of housewives,
but there are others, not habitually so painstakinc ho
would do we'll to heed it, beginning now.
Nothing to prevent any family from trying OUT a diet
squad of its own.

PRAISE THAT NAUSEATES

There is much perfunctory and some sentimental
praise of the late emperor of Austria and some attempts,
since his death, to connect his name with something known
among men as human greatness and even goodness. But
there was nothing either good or great about the ruler OF
Austria and Hungary. His devotion to the church was
hereditary and was part of his office They speak OF the
many times he asserted himself against his generals and
his diplomats, but nine-tenths of the time those who sur
rounded him were crafty enough to get around him and to
make him the mere puppet in their show.
But above all else he is a marked man in history be-
cause he is the one man who could have spoken one word
and there would have been no great war in Europe. lie
did not speak that word and therefore ten million men may
may die and three times that many may carry their wounds
to their graves.
That is the crime that stands against the dead en-
peror-and against humanity in Europe there stands the
crime of permitting the existence of governments in Aus
tria, Germany and Russia in which one man, or a coterle OF
men is given such absolute powers over the lives OF mil
lions of their fellow men. The people who accept the
yokes of kaisers and emperors and cars as SO many cattle
accept their yokes, their crime is that they have not
manhood enough to assert that they are men and not yok-
els, that they are masters of their own destnles, not the
puppets of royal houses that are as apt to breed erotics and
imbeci1eS as wise men.
1t is useless to argue the beginning Of the war from
any other standpoint than this one, beginning with the
Austrian emperor and his lotteries. To say that Russia be
gan it, or that there would have been no war if Russia had
kept her hands off is so much persiflage. Of course Rms
STA would not keep hands off any more than we kept hands
off when the royalty of Europe sought to set up a throne
in Mexico for the i1l-fated Maximillian of Austrias house,
no more than we should keep quiet if we saw that an out
rage was about to be committed on our neighbours house.
Russia had a right and a duty to say no to Austria,
and the, greater duty back of that was for the emperor who
is now dead to have said no to the demands that his nation
made upon Serbia.
And the kaiser at Berlin told the kaiser at Vienna
that if he went ahead with the Serbian business he would
stand back of him-that this was actually done stands ad
mitted in the official correspondence as published at Ber-
lin.
Berlin puts all the blame on Russia by saying that
Russia ought to have permitted the Austrians to rape and
outrage and ens1ave the Serbian nation at it's will.
But on the emperor who is dead and gone rests the
primary blame. If he had been a really good and great
man, as we are reading of him today, he would have fore
seen the consequences and he would have said no to his
plotting and c%onspiring diplomats and so-ca1led statesmen.
