Pacifism at Its Lowest.

Paclfism never touched a more de-
basing level than In the effort to
persuade the senate to hasten the
Colombia $25,OOO.OO0 payment in or
der to hold the friendship of that na-
tion at this critical moment.
The spectacle Of the government
Of the United States giving way In
dread Of u weak and resourceless
country like Colombia Is one of the
most amazing and humillating ever
witnessed. The shame Of ii Is deep
ened by the open encouragement Of
such propaganda from the White
House.
The fear OF mouse Is no less ludi-
crous than this expressed fear Of
Colombia. In these days of severe
trial and struggle our government Is
made to jump Historically on a chair
and pull Its skirts closely about It.,
and shrek frantlcally at the little
creature to run away.-Philadelphia

Liquor Committee Gets Busy.

The senate liquor committee finally
has taken action on the bills to en-
force prohibition in Michigan after
May ]. 1918. Its program Is to Kill
off the Macarthur bone dry" bill. re.
place it with the Damon bone dry
bill and report out with the Damon
bill the Wiley and Lewis bills.
The two latter measures provided
for the enforcement of prohibition in
Michigan, the Wiley bill by describing
for what purposes liquor may be used
under the constitutional amendment
and the Lewis bill by giving the food
and drug department the enforcement
Of the laws pertaining to liquor after
the state enters the dry column.
Substitution of the Damon bill for
the Macarthur bill Is ascribed to the
fact that the senate measure is more
brief than that which passed the
house. But capitol gossip gives one
of the reasons as a determination not
to allow Rep. Macarthur the entire
limelight afforded by bone dryness."

time TO PREPARE
WELL FOR COUNTRY TO THINK
NOW OF PEACE CONDITIONS.
All the Warning Nations Have Made
Elaborate Preparations to Secure
Places in Worlds Markets
United States Backward.

In mobllizlng the country's manhood
and production resources for war We
shall make sorry mistake II we lose
sight OF what we will be compelled to
meet under the peace conditions fol-
lowing the war.
We know England Is giving that con-
slderation full weight because OF the
preparations to preserve, when peace
comes, the remarkable Industrial ell
cheney which the war has forced upon
her. The fact that her exports have
increased greatly since the beginning
of hostillties is significant of what may
be expected when her men return from
the trenches.
And anybody who thinks that Japan
Is asleep at the commercial switch Is
vastly mistaken. Word has just come
from there that Its cotton textile In
dustry has been doubled In production
since the Underwood tariff law went
into effect In this country. Further
more, Japan has been rapidly absorb
Ing American business and shipping on
the Pacific ocean.
Germany Is a guarded fortress from
within which 1t Is difficult to obtain
trustworthy Information, but we have
good cause to know its farsighted pol.
Icy of preparedness in all things, and
Its wonderful efficiency. There Is no
apparent reason to disbelieve n writer
In Success when he says that Germany
has built % new freight steamers
since the war began, that its steamship
offices have not been closed, that their
clerical forces have recently been given
full salaries instead of war half-pay,
that factories In many parts of the EN-
pfre are engaged In manufacturing ar
tlcles for future export and that many
warehouses are full of commodities
awaiting shipment abroad ut low
prices when the war ends.
These are things for the American
government. congress and people to
heed.

A supervising principal recently was
testing some children In reading and.
in order to know whether they inter
preted correctly, asked the meaning
Of different words. One word which
promised difficulty was "christened."
When asked, none could tell its mean
Ing. In order to lead up to its mean
ing the supervisor asked: "Well. what
do they do when n baby's born?"
One urchin. whose home must have

Poor FERMENTATION for Crisis.

II Is pity that the country has to be
saddle with tariff board of such
construction. The nation Is facing a
crisis In Its industrial history Just as
surely as It Is facing a political crisis.
With the close Of the war in Europe

The counties get no share OF the
