AS precautionary measure, however,

no fear of personal injury or of damage
to the embassy.

tempt to picture 1t; and I am convinced
in my own mind that a congressional in
vestigation into the source of the tre-
mendous financial resources at the disposal
Of the aforesaid lobby would bring forth
some rather startling revelations and place
its much-heralded sincerity and morality ip
rather questionable light.
This is no time for clogging the legislative
machinery of the Government with unnec-
essary or eXtraneous matters, but it might
prove as interesting as enlightening to the
country at large to know the real incentive
for the activities Of these men who would go
so far as to jeopardize the safety of their
country in order to destroy, without re-
muneration, a business from which the Gov
ernment has been taking one-third its
normal revenue, and in the destruction of
which would be created a precedent to
jeopardize any or all other similarly lawful
enterprises, and thus weaken the whole
commercial and industrial structure of the
country.
If the desperate activity of the profession

nothing else, it has proved to the people

INSIGNIFICANCE OF SOCIALIST
REVOLT

To the Editor Of the EUeninO, Ledger:
Sir-Since this country entered the Euro
pean conflagration readers of daily papers
get the impression that there is a wide
spread rebellous movement among the
Socialists of this country. All insignificant
sporadic incidents are smeared in big head
lines across the front pages of the press
Intelligent readers pay little attention to
such news items, knowing full well the
tendency of the newspapers to manufacture
sensational news. An editorial comment Of
July ran as follows, "Forty-nine Socialist
rebels, half of them under age" The very
fact that they are under age makes said
editorial look ridiculous. The anxiety Of
an unscrupulous rocky officer TO make good
prompted him TO hold up and arrest MEM
bers of a Socialist club in the peaceful
procedure Of a regular routine meeting.
You cannot find the names of Swartz,
Levy and Zanan in American history Per-
haps 1t is true. Nevertheless, men with such
names helped make this country rich and
powerful. Men with such naIpes are numer-
Gus among the personnel of the army and
navy and in all peaceful developments Of
this country. How absurd and ridiculous
to blame all for the questionable sins of the
few PHILIP WIENER

THE KAIsER's sTALKING.HoRsE

OUNCE July, 1909, Theobald Won Beth
~ mann,Hollweg, whose downfall at
last seems imminent, has managed to
hold the unenviable post of Imperial
Chancellor. In those early years, when
war clouds gathered thicker and faster
in Europe and at last broke in the storm
Of world war, and even afterward, no
Prime Minister outside of Germany could
rival him in tenacity in office. The war
overthrow Asquith In England, Viviani in
France, and even Bryan in distant Amer
lea went down before the hurricane. But
it was Germany's boast that, so firmly
fixed and united was her Government,
TO ephemeral clamor could unsettle it.
But Bethmann's apparent strength was
Germany's real weakness. He kept his
place not because he had power, but be-
cause, having none, it was not worth
while changing him for another Kaiser
istic stalking horse. The Kaiser is really
his own Prime Minister. He, and not the
Reichstag's majority, appoints the Chan
cellor, who is responsible to him and to
no one else. The revolt which strikes at
poor, vacillating Bethmann was years in
developing, because 1t was recognized in
Germany that when 1t did come the whole
world would know that the real target
was William himself.

NO ANTI-sALooN LOBBYING

To the Editor Of the EUenin0 Ledger
Sir-I have just read your editorial en-
titled Pure Damfoolishness." Being
reader Of the EVENING LEDGER, I want TO
enter my protest against that editorial. To
start with, it is grossly false and misrep-
resents the real situation.
When the food bill was before the House
of Representatives the legislative commit
tee of the Anti-Saloon League asked the
House to put into that bill section for
bidding the use of foodstuffs in the manu-
facture of liquor of any kind. In doing
this they were simply volcng the senti-
ment not only of the Christian manhood
and womanhood Of America, but of a large
percentage of the leading business inter-
ests of the country. The House of Repre-
sentatives spent less than six hours in
reaching a decision as to what it would
do on this phase Of the question. When the
bill came before the Senate It was found
that in that body filibuster would be made
and legislation would be delayed, For that
reason President Wilson made his appeal
to the Anti-Saloon League committee not
to embarrass him by interfering in the
fight.
The pledge made by the Anti-Saloon
League committee to the President in this
matter has been scrupulously carried out
to the letter.
To say that action on the food bill has
been delayed by the anti-saloon lobby is
false and there is absolutely no reason
why a well-informed man should make such
a statement.
Taken as a whole, your editorial is well
named. Quoting the great soldier to whom
you refer there seems to be little in 1t but
pure damfoohshness."

MOTIVES are habits. A mans phi.
A'A losophy of things in general is his
elaborate defense of his personal habits Of
mind. If he really believes it is right to
charge wartime freight rates on the
principle Of "all that the traffic can bear"
it is because he has made his conception
of country, religion, personal honor and
politics correspond exactly with his con.
ception of business.
Mr.. Wilson is too much of a political
economist TO go into the motives of
"profiteering patriots" Each one of them
is no doubt kind to his children, a devout
church member scrupulous in the pay
ment of his debts. The science of price
fixing takes no account of private
motives. 1t takes no account even of
patriotic motives, for all the desperate
chivalry in France will not save her if
she can't get war materials and food.
The law of public necessity must fix the
prices for the profiteer. If he thinks the
law OF his own conscience is a higher
law, he is cheerfully invited to find in It
what consolation his strange gods can
give him.

PRoHIBITIoNIsTs ACCUSED

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-I have no desire to inject myself
into an issue that is bigger than any one
man or any one set Of men, but as a private
citizen, who for a long period of years
has been deeply interested and almost con-
yield TO the impulse to extend to you my
heartiest congratulations upon the courage
and clarity with which the EVENING
LEDGER in its leading editorial Of today
has placed before its readers the real
menace and the actual motives Of the un-
patriotic, professonalized, political prohibi-
tion lobby in Washington, whose activities,
surprising subterfuge and even plain hypoc-
risy, approach perilously near TO that with
which few Americans have been charged.
For more than a decade, and perhaps
more than any other one man, / have had
directed at me the slander and false accu-
sation of their "holier-than-thou" attitude,
because l dared to disagree with them by
standing unfalteringly for process of mere
justice in the settlement of the business,
which the Government itself established.
and from which the Treasury Department
now admits that the people Of this country,
through their Government, have been taking
a total annual revenue Of $4,000, 600. 900.
II WAS not surprising to me, therefore,
that eventually the time should come when
their zeal for the accomplishment OF their
own stubborn determination should over
come even their own natural and customary
cunning and convict them OF that with
which they have so freely and indiscrim-
inately charged every one else who did not
agree with them
