ENLIGHTENMENT NEEDED.


If the German military caste took the trouble
to think it would realize that the present military
status cannot be improved in their direction. 1t
would realize that the maximum of territory has
been achieved, and that henceforth the pendulum
will swing against them.
Realizing this, it should dawn upon this mill
tary autocracy that all fighting henceforth is mere
ly a vain attempt to keep its holdings, and event.
ually it will prove a useful waste Of lives and
treasure.
The German people-through their strong So
cialist party or through any other means-should
force the government to seek peace terms. Grim
Iinal as it was to start this world war, it is equally
criminal to continue it to no purpose.

THE INCOME TAX.
The income tax isn't working like a charm.
There is a well-autheticated suspicion that a great
many incomes remain barely touched.
This situation will remain until publicity Of
tax returns becomes a law. At present there are
too many ways to cheat the law. And human ma
ture will take advantage Of ali unfair methods to
withhold taxes ~ long n II isn't found out

FOR Protection q erldoes,

TO prevent loss Of metal due to the
cutting action Of locomotive blasts, as
bestos sheathing has been used by
the Western and Atlantic railroad on
its bridges The loss of metal IL
caused principally by the blast rather
than by c~orrosion or effect Of gas. In
stead Of using brass bolts as first
planned for all cases Of exposed
heads below the sheets, a satisfactory
projection was obtained by using =
one third portland cement mortar and
asbestos fiber, placed al q hemisphere
ical covering over bolt heads By using
a cup-shaped form in q small block.
The bolt protection has remained In
tact.

PASSENGERS BY AIR.
n - n

1t is said that after the great war is over there
will be such a tremendous number of aeroplanes in
the world that it will be possible to carry passen-
gers along certain routes.
This may merely be one of the wild thoughts
that come and go with contemplation of the con-
flict; but there may be a grain of salt in it.
The a~eroplane is still in it's infancy; this may
be a trite phrase, but it is a true one.
Development of the heavier than-air machine
particularly may bring about passenger traffic
through the air in the next few decades.
H. G.. Wells, who has been such an active war
book writer since the conflict began, early coaxed
fame from the reading public by describing the
development of air machines into passenger car
riers; and most of what Wells wrote regarding
the machines themselves has come true, needing
only the passengers to complete the full prophecy's
fulfllment.
And so passenger traffic by air routes is not
as chimerical as it seems.

PROMPT ACTION IMPERATIVE.


The recent Indictment of the onion combine in
Boston, and later of the egg trust III Chicago,
should pry open the eyes of our national law max
ers to the very patent fact that theIe is some
thing rotten in the Unied States-very rotten.
For months now the people of this country have
insisted that the present extortionate prices Of
commodities are traceable to the price manlpula-
tors that while there may be a scarcity in certain
lines of commodities, that scarcity is not by any
means acute enough to warrant the almost prohib-
tive cost of the articles in question.
1t was no surprise to the public to learn that
that the Chicago egg gang worked their scheme
through fictitious sales. rs a matter of fact, that
is the established method of those gentry, Their
whole ~nefarious business is pure gamble and
squeeze, always a the exp use of the consumer.
But with the exception of the prosecutions I'M
der the Sherman law it s, ms that we are a long
time in securing any rel. Of. These prosecutions
will not be a drop in the b. sket, from the fact that
they are likely to be long drawn out and tedious,
and to amount to very little in the end.
The people of this country have not forgotten
the ~farcical prosecution of the Standard Oil Com
pany and how very little was accomplished.
In the present emergency there is but one rem
eQy, ana tnaC is III government intervention W
regulate prices, and from present indications we
fear another crop will be harvested and bagged
by the specializing hogs before the law steps in
and introduces a rule of reason and sanity.
We believe the president is doing the best he
can to this end, but he is handicapped by the pro-
a.astination of congress and the Vaccinations of
the h~irelings Of the spectators.
One thing is certain, we must have both a
maximu and a minimum price established on all
commodities. The producer as well as the con-
sumner must be protected. If necessary, the pro-
ducts should be marketed by government bureaus,
thus eliminating entirely the thieving horde of
speculative middlemen.
Bread riots are too near for comfort. They
would be fatal in our national crisis.

Super-sensitive military strategists have dis
covered that Hindenburg might eventually form
a Hindenburg line in the United States, and hold
it for a huge indemnity.
The line, in case the Teutons reached our
shores, would be from Baltimore to Pittsburg,
and from there to Lake Champlain. Thus he would
hold in his grasp the most populous portion of the
United States, with many of it's most important
Irrespective Of the difficulty of transporting
food across the ocean to feed the war
riors holding this line, not to mention equipment
and artillery-and also not overlooking the neces-
sity of feeding the millions of Americans non-com-
batants within the Teuton grasp-it seems to us
that this dream, though interesting, is more
dreamy than dreams usually are.
We think the kaiser will first have to show
that he can attain a Hindenburg line across the
English channel. England is only a short distance
from the home plate, and nearly three years of
war has yet to see anything Of the kind attempted.
