THE KINGS KNOW.

Those ingenious souls among the

who started the war really knew
what actual war meant they would
rot provoke il or keep il are
arguing without their host Never
in all history have those at the head
Of things known what the actual
horrors are more infinitely than is
the case just now. There is not a
king or an emperor or a president
or a premier who has not been in
the trenches and a. the front in ali
seasons and on all occasions. The re-
cent visit OF King George to France
merely repeats a previous trip 10 the
front. while the kaiser's actual par
ticipation in the Campaigns in the
east and in the west has been one
OF the striking features OF the war.
and the king Of Italy has fought
side by side with his subjects.
For pathos, the sufferings and
fight Of Nichols Of Montenegro and
Peter OF Serbia are unequaled and
as much might be said Of the quiet
endurance and hopefulness of Al
bert OF Belgium. No; whether for
veal or woe, the kings, know what
war means. and the knowledge has
not lessened their determination TO

LOVE AND WEALTH.
Scranton. Pa. Times)

John ID. Rockefeller, in a Lief ad-
dress which he delivered on Sunday
afternoon in a church in Cleveland
10 the congregation, declared that
his greatest happiness lid not con-
sist in his wealth, but in love. Mr..
Rockefeller speaks of love in the
same sense in which st. Paul wrote
Of charity. The affection of his
friends and his family the conf
dence which his fellow citizens place
in him, the consciousness of his own
integrity. are more to him than the
vast wealth which ne has accumulat-
ed and which is as useless to him
personally as the pebbles on the
beach. Those 10 whom the burdens
of wealth have been denied will set
down Rockefeller as a hypocrite. II
is easy for a man who is wealthy,
they will say, TO pretend 10 despise
wealth. Money is power. The indi-
vidual who does not live for power,
the ascendency of his personality
does not live at all. Yet Mr.. Rookie
Teller is undoubtedly sincere Money
will buy anything in the world but
love and health. If il can not pur-
chase a good reputation. it can gild
a bad one, TO make il look like new.
Although Andrew Carnegie is vet a
rich man, he has stripped himself Of
wealth which would ransom a king
and kingdom. He declared a few
days ago that so far from regretting
the dissipation of his wealth in
works of public utility. he is i'm
mensely and cOmplacently satisfied
with the disposition which he has
made of il. We can not definitely
deny the veracity of the individual
testimony of immensely rich men
from Croesus TO Rockefeller that
wealth so far from bringing happi-
ness when it exceeds the self-satis-
flying manipulation of the individual
who possesses il, becomes a kind of
nightmare. The miser is only one
degree removed from the leper. He
is eaten alive by the microbes with
which he is infested, avarice and
fear.
There is a species of alienation

WE COULDN'T BE STARVED.
(Chicago Herald

AOulCdSO I1eIdlu.
One worry of the fghting nations
need not keep the United states
awake, the national chamber of
commerce finds. The report OF the
committee on statistics and stand
ards. recently pu blished. proves that
no matter how severe a blockade
might be drawn about the country
il would be impossible to starve
American stomachs into capitula-
ton.
1t would be necessary TO get along
without importatiOns of coffee. tea
and cocoa, but all these are CLASH
fed by the committee as luxuries.
The most impressive point, the
committee says, is that while the
population of the country has in
G. eased 200 per cent in half a cen
fury its food production has been
increasing in the same period from
$50 TO 5000 per cent in prime com
modities.
The most important produce
wheat-has increased in production
$50 per cent and corn 20 per cent.
Inc prOOucClOn OF rice SHOWS the
greatest increase. being 5000 per
cent. and barley comes, second with
1000 per cent. Oats and Irish po-
tatoes have increased in production
AS per cent and $50 per cent re
spectively.
The importation of luxuries is
held to be entirely a question or
taste. and our extensive use of them
an evidence of our ability to crafty
this taste and not a matter of ne
cessity. In case of stress we could
well get along without them. as was
generally done in the south during
the civil war, which is a different
proposition from not raising enough
wheat for our own use and trying
TO get along without that.
A definite proof of surplus pro-
duction of agricultural products be-
yond our needs, according TO the re-
port. is the fact that each year we
carry from the former harvest into
the succeeding harvest from 20 to
25 per cent of the yield of the prin-
cipal cereals.
