PRESIDENTIAL NEWSPAPER
 REiDJNG.

Tho hundreds of newspapers re- ceived by President Wilson daily would give him quite an adequate idea Of what the country is thinking; but at the same time, if he read then carefully, he would have quite a joD on his hands.
 Efficiency, therefore. has struck the White house. One clerk scans the papers, focusing his gaze particularly on what the papers say about inn pcrtant subjects. The article th,s clerk thinks would most interest the the president he clips and pastes on large yellow sheets, which are formel Into book and called the "Yellow Journal These clippings are then read by Secretary Tumulty, who blue pencils those he thinks the president
 should read. The "Yellow Journal then is laid before the president anI he reads the marked articles. In this way the president reais what he is interested in knowing with the least expenditure of time.
 The plan, however. would not work around newspaper office. Some-
 times the item that most interests an
 editor is small and tucked away in q 1 corner. Insignificant positions some | times arc favored ,,v c;o,if;oar+
 items. All the really important news
 to newspaper man doesn't come un.-
 der large headlines. And, by the
 way, the same is true of the public.

Those who know Senator Will kir- by personally are inclined to be amused by his declaration in the senate yesterday that he would not vote for the resolution endorsing the action of President Wilson iii break ing off diplomatic relations with Ger many. They feel that the oppcrtun- ity offered the late candidate for gov ernor, more recently on the state su- preme bench. and successor to that great statesman, James r. Clarke those who know Will Kirby feel he couldn't resist tho temptation to get in the spotlight for {h2 moment, even at the cost of proving disloyal to the president of the Ulitod States-the great leader Of the Democratic party Woodrow Wilson. Ergo, 'tis lament- able that so few opportunities are ot~ fered some folk to get in the lime light that they must accept those few at such cost. It must be remembered however, that MT. Kirby had hardly time to familiarize himself with the situation in Washington, having spent most of his time recently in Little Rock in the effort to get the legislature to adopt the Kirby & Cas- tie digest and was not at his post in Washington when President Wilson delivered his memorable and history making address to congress.

ON THE THRESHOLD OF WAR!

Our disbursement with Germany is not against the use of submarines, but against their use "ruthlessly,' such as torpedoing passenger steam CTS and merchantmen without warn ing.
 Only the protests and threats of this government for two and half years have held the German subma- mines in check. It probably was irk- some to the kaiser's government but the humanitarian principles enun~ ciated by this government had to be obeyed unless German cared to risk the possibility of war with the Unite l States.
 The situation in a nutshell, then, is that Germany seems to have arrived at a point where she was willing to take the risk. This government coufi not back down from it's previous posi- tion-largely upon the dictation of President Wilson-that Americans have rights, under international law, to travel on armed liners, and that such vessels, as we'll as other vessels on which Americans were travelin>r must not be torpedoed without giy- ing Americans time to get into safety. And, having taken this position, we are to follow it, lead the trail where it may.
 Some say that Germanys decision to adopt ruthless submarine warfare is indicative of desperation; others maintain that she is convinced that limitless submarine warfare is the only thing that can force England an island empire-to feel her power The latter probably is a true state ment, but such ravages on the hig1 seas hit neutrals equally as hard as they hit England. They strike al the United States anl it's formally enunciated policy; ana the German officialdom should have forseen tn: inevitable results.
 It is true that "Gernianv is tryina to do to England what England is trying to do 10 Germany'-that is starve the civil population. It is tru. that the British blockade has pre- vented American ships from going .o Germany. And if the British block ade is illegal in that it is only q paper blockade" as the Germans claim, then Great Britain has be e, preventing direct intercourse wit Germany in an illegal manner not Justified by international law.
 The United States, however, is no. protesting against blockade of Eng, land, but against the slaughter c, innocents on the high seas The Brit. ish blockade, granted that it is illegal is detriment to commerce-but il does not kill the citizens of neutrals

world He is not acting in the in- terest of the allies. He is thinking United States"
 It is to be hoped that Germany lets the matter go nc further than q severance of diplomatic relations. This is not war, though an overt act by Germany against | ship bearing American citizens miglt quickly lead to war.
 Only generation ago Italy severed relations with the United States be- cause she could not "get satisfac- tion'' following the lynching of some of her citizens in Louisiana; and t was a period of humiliation for this government because it was generally thought that Italys demands were just, but the government would not interfere with the prosecution of the laws by sovereign state. After year or so, Italy and the United States again exchanged envoys ana officials.
 A similar result could accrue if Germany backed down in the present instance-a consummation that a., patriotic citizens would wish, be- cause most of us do net want to in duige in warfare if we can help it.

TIRE NEGLECT IS EXPENSIVE
Estimated That 5000, 900 10 Lost
Each Year by careIessness Of
Motor Owners.

Tire manufacturers for some time
past have been warning the motorist
TO exercise care and judgment in the
use Of his tires In order that the wear
may be lessened. 1t has been esti-
mated that during the year 1915 mo-
torists averaged about $50 waste each
in tire usage. or a grand total Of $780,
100000 for the entire country because
Of neglect.
The use Of little common sense Is
all that is necessary to remedy this
condition. 1t has been almost impos-
sible for tire manufacturers to keep
pace with the production Of new cars
and at the same time meet the de-
mands Of the cars now In use. An
actual shortage now exists in some
sizes.
Due to the foresight Of many
dealers, 1t may be a couple Of months
before the consumer will actually feel
this shortage. but when he does 1t will
bring home to him as nothing else
can the necessity Of giving tires the
care that they should have, and there
by add much to the service that they
will give.
