States would have to contribute men and vessels according to some equit- able rule prescribed in the treaty, proportioned to resources and geo graphical location. This is the ex- treme responsibility which the United States must face. This is the burden she might have. But it is improbable. With a knowledge of this union of tre- mendous forces against her, Russia would not be likely to violate her plighted faith. The moral effect of the power of the world would prevent her. Ought the United States not be willing to run the risk of being called upon to contribute her quota in such remote contingency in order that the power of the world may become ef- fective without actual use of force to stop war?
 Monroe Doctrine Already Displaced.
 "The second case suggested by Sen ator Borah is this: Mexico transfers part of her territory to Japan, and Ja- pan takes it. Thus the Monroe doc urine is violated The United States protests and Japan demands submis- sion under the league. The question is political one. The Monroe doc urine does not involve or rest on prin- ciples of international law. It would be sumitted to the commission of con- ciliation which would after needed time recommend compromise. The United States, if it did not subscribe to the compromise, might honorably refuse to accept it and begin hostilities against Japan. Under the thirty treat ies initiated by MT. Bryan, and con sented to by the senate (unless Ja, pan is not in the thirty), the United States could not even now begin such hostilities within a year. In what respect in the maintenance of the Mon. roe doctrine, therefore, is the United States at disadvantage "The third case supposed by Senator

TAFT REPLIES
 TO CRITICS OF
 PEACE LEAGUE Roosevelt's Objection Dis posed of as Not Worthy
 of Consideration.
PROCEDURE WOULD
 DISCOURAGE WAR
Former President, Answering Criti- ciSm of BOrall. Shows That |. s. Could We'll Afford to Enter
 League-War Be Unlikely.

New York, Jan. 20.-In answer to criticisms which Theodore Roosevelt and Senator William E. Borah of Ida ho have made of the league to enforce peace, former President Howard Taft spoke here in defense of the scheme. He addressed the chamber of com- merce of the Borough of Queen, and after outlining the purposes of the league he dismissed Col. Roosevelt's criticisms in few words He said: "Mr. Roosevelt objects to the league with great emphasis. It would have added to the usefulness of his criti- cism if he had read carefully the pro- posals of the league. He assumes that the league proposes that the iudg- ments and recommendations of com promise reached shall be enforced by the league. This is fundamental error. We may therefore dismiss e further consideration of Mr. Roose- a velt's objections.'
 \ MT. Taft pointed out that "the \ league contents itself, and believes ' that it will make long step forward < if it succeeds, in securing world kagreement by which hearings of the
 Irritating issue may be had and de- Scision rendered before war is allow $ed to begin. It is confident that, in
 most cases, war thus delayed for a &full discussion of the issues and fair
 decision will never come."
 Taking up the objections of Senator
 Borah, MT. Taft said:
 "He objects to the league because
 he says it will involve the United
 States in surrender of the Monroe
 doctrine and in momentous obliga-
 tions. I quite agree that the league Twill involve momentous consequences,
 and I also quite agree that the people
 of the United States ought to under
 stand exactly what those consequences
 are and the burdens that they would
 assume.
 Senator Borah supposes three

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 2O.-Newton C. Spradling, former gauger in the internal revenue service, was acquit- ted in the federal court here today of the charge of complicity in the alleged moonshine conspiracy which govern ment officials declared centered here and defrauded the revenue service out of huge sums of money. Spradling, formerly lived at Aurora, Mo. Sprad- ljng's acquittal followed within three days the dismissal of similar charges against James H. Surber, former in- ternal revenue agent of Atlanta. Ga.
 Announcement was made by federal officers that John l.. Casper and Guy l.. Hartman would be taken at once to Jacksonville, Fla, where they will be witnesses in the governments case against Thomas c. Mccoy, former ,n- ternal revenue agent at Asheville, N. C.. who also is alleged to have been implicated. Casper recently was par doned from the federal penitentiary at LeavenwOrth, Kan, where he was serving sentence for the part he confessed to having taken in the con- spiracy. Hartman is under indict- ment
 It was also announced that an ef- fort would be made to bring Mccoy here for trial. No disposition was made of the indictment against A. w. Will jams, former gauger, of Fayetteville, Ark. No further "moonshine" cases are to be heard here during this term of court, according to Judge You mans.

quick at the expense of the nation
and its people, But it will be neither
profitable nor wise for them to at

has so warned them.
II their business is local in its

that they get their just deserts.

no gouging, no angling for sudden
wealth for. the few at the expense of

ELECTRICITY AND WAR.

A nationwide appeal to the elertci-
cal industry has been issued by DR..
Schuyler S. Wheeler, past president
of the American Institute of Electri-
cal Engineers.
"Never before in the history of this
country" DR.. Wheeler said, "has the
electrical industry been called upon
for greater service. Germany has
made this a war of steel and iron, a
mechanical war; the United States
will make it an electrical war. Every
man connected with electrical indus
try is vitally Interested in the war,
and the United States expects the
electrical inventors and engineers to
carry the Stars and Stripes to victory.
"The country leads the world In
the application Of electricity to the
arts of peace. Now 1t must lead in
applying that great force to war.
Here we have thousands of the best
trained and most active brains n
the world engaged in electrical indus
try; thousands of universally used
electrical devices were invented here.
Let those brains grapple with the
problems of the war and it is likely
that we shall see the appliances de-
veloped that will end the war.
1--WE are starting our warlike prep
arations for war years after the other
belligerents-let us make speed and
through our inventiveness bring
about an early peace. The most
deadly weapons of the war, such as
the airplane and submarine, are
American inventions-let us make
history repeat itself, now that we are
facing the vital necessity. One in
vention may save the lives of millions
of men who are sorely needed to do
the worlds work. Let all American
electricians, from the highest to the
lowest, concentrate on aiding the gov
ernment, now that the United States
is forced into the world war"

HATS OFF TO AMERICAN
ENGINEERS.

American ingenuity and skill again
steps into the limelight with nine reg
iments of railway engineers being or
ganized to go to France and straight
en- out work on lines Of communica-
tions
The regiments will be raised from
the great railway centers Of the
United States and will be railway en-
gineers and officials.
The fact that American engineers
from private railroads are to be the
first men sent to the front to work
on lines of government operated sys-
tens of French roads speaks volumes
for the efficiency Of the American
system OF privately owned and oper-
ated railroads.
II is an admitted fact that we have
the finest trains, running on the fast
est time, with lowest rates and best
accommodation Of any country in the
world, and yet there are many poll
ticians and well-meaning people who
advocate the European system Of gov
ernment ownership in the United
States.

EUROPEAN SYSTEMS.

Coordinate with the announce
ment of the raising of nine regiments
Of railway engineers appears the fol-
lowing significant statement from a
prominent British official which says
in part:
Political control in a democracy
is one of the evils that makes govern
ment ownership Of railways of dubi-
GUS value, w. M. Acworth, of the
British commission which recently in
vestigated Canadian roads, told the
joint congressional committee investi-
eating transportation problems in the
United States He said government
ownership was unsuccessful in most
countries that tried it.
"It is impossible" said Mr.. Ac-
worth, ITO obtain satisfactory results
on government railways in a demo-
cratic state unless the management is
cut loose from direct political con-
troll. Neither Australia nor any 9th
er country with democratic consti-
tution-perhaps an exception ought
to be made Of Switzerland-ha sue
ceeded in maintaining a permanent
severance. In France, Belgium and
Italy parliamentary interference has
never been abandoned for moment.
"The facts show that parliament
ary interference has meant running
the railways not for the benefit of
the people at large, but to satisfy
local and sectional or even personal
interests. They show further that
under parliamentary management it
is easier to get money for big schemes
Of new construction than for incon-
spicuous day to day betterments and
which probably could !
produce mucn greater public bene-
fit"

Much Needed Legisnltion.

In line with proposed ordinances
to curb indiscriminate thefts, we are
going to suggest an ordinance requir-
ing all butchers to keep chickens Of
fered them by suspicious looking
characters, for seven days before SELL
ing them. This would give the own
er, in case the chickens were stolen
an opportunity to visit the henyard
of the butcher shop and claim his
hen. Identification would be easy If
the chicken owner had treated his
hen kindly. All he would have to do
would be to call "Here, Clarice," AMI
his hen-if present-would come and
roost on his shoulder The same plan
could be carried out with other live
stock, such as cows, leaving out the
roosting on the shoulder part. Diff
culties would arise in some cases, as,
for instance, case of eggs (matter
of eggs, we mean; no one can afford
to own case of eggs nowdays).
Eggs, unlike pipes, do not improve
with age, and probably a twoday
limit would suffice. The eggs could
be easily trained to stand up on end
when the owner entered the store.
Or an even surer method would be to
hatch out the eggs and then allow
the chickens to 60 home to mamma.
