WE BEGIN TO WONDER.


 elegant but expressive phrase, "The Public Be Damned" was traced to American origin. It was thought to be the slogan of American business men selling wares to the great pur- chasing public. Reflection now traces the real source of origin. It goes back to the start of Prussianisn. It was coined in the House of Hohen- zollern. From there it went to the House of Hapsburg. For some time it held sway in the House of Ro- manoff. The American translation. however, is a corrupt one. In the early version of the idea the word people" was used instead of "public.'' This pointed the finger more em- phatically. The people. the common herd. Those were the folk who could suffer an indictment read off by the Kings and Princes.
 History shows that the worm has a splendid way of turning. The motley crowd of peasants in Russia recently vindicated history. Emula- ting the example of the French people in 1791 they arose en masse and snatched the ermine from the shoul- ders of Nicholas, the Czar of all the Russias. It was a master stroke. It put the fear of God in the hearts of other. users of the original phrase, 'The People Be Damned It made Wilhelm, the H., Emperor of Ger many, put on his thinking cap. Since the sceptor was put in his hand he has ruled with an iron will. Anything he wanted done, was done. By the Divine Right of Almighty God he occupies the throne,-so he told the people, and the people believed him. At least they did believe. But then came the Russian awakening. If Wilhelm sat on the throne by Divine Right did not Nicholas also wear the purple because of the same authority ? Yet the people pulled the throne away from Nicholas and put him down where he belongs,-plain Nick" How did that happen? And, since 1t did happen, might not the same thing be done to Kaiser Bill? These are the questions outsiders began to wonder if the German people thought over. The Kaiser. too, probably won dered if his people thought of the same idea.
 While these things had been going on in Europe, the Russian revolution and the misgivings in the houses of the Hapsburgs and the Hohenzol- ferns, something happened in America which gave the Kaiser and his con- freres even more cause for worry. Like a bolt out of the blue came President Wilson's message to the American Congress. It was asking for & declaration of war on Germany; but it implied more. It arraigned the royalty of Europe in grand fashion It contained a terrific indictment o1 the doctrine by which Wilhelm and
 
 Divine Right of Kings. It proclaimed a new message to the people of the ! world. It even went so far as to say ; that while we were going to war with Germany we were not at war with the i German people. It pointed out to a nicety the difference between demo cracy and autocracy. Reciting the 1 noble efforts of the Russian people in i behalf of freedom, it pledged the strength of the United States to fight | for the rights of all nations, big and l little, and for the right of people who l are governed to have some part in l their government.
 Just at that point Wilhelm, whom 1 he himself would call Wilhelm the

HOLDS AGAINST
STORAGE RATES
If Rail Proposals Granted Inter.
state Body Sees Heavy Pen
alties on Traffic
CHARGES ON EXPORT IN
CARS ALSO DIsAPPRoVED
Suggestions Made by Trunk Lines
Designed as Measure TO Re.
lieve Congestion
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Jan. 19.-The inter
state commerce commission today dis
approved proposals by railroads tt
double and Quadruple storage charges
on export grain at elevators in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston
Newport News and other Atlantic
ports, where such grain is held longer
than GO days.
New charges for the storage of ex.
port grain In cars awaiting unloading
at Baltimore and Philadelphia were
also disapproved.
Designed to Relieve Congestion.
The proposals made by the trunk
line railroads were designed as a
measure to relieve congestion at At
lantic ports, and to insure through en-
forcement of penalties freer flow OF
grain through the elevators.
They were opposed by the Baltimore
chamber Of commerce, the CONNER
cial exchange Of Philadelphia and 9TH
er similar organizations.
A considerable proportion of the
lullAlOuS vi UuSuclS VI grain Slllppcu "
the Atlantic ports for export to the
warning nations of Europe would have
been affected.
Aimed at Premature Shipments.
Another intention of the railroads
was to prevent premature shipment
of grain to the seaboard without ex-
port contracts or prior to making ar
rangements for ocean transportation.
The scarcity of ships is said to have
resulted in choking elevators with
grain, which could not be moved with
out long delay. A large number Of
cars has also been withdrawn from
traffic because Of congestion at the
elevators, augmenting the general cal
shortage and tending Indirectly to in
crease the cost of living.
In it's decision. the commission
holds that the objects sought by the
railroads should be obtained by other
methods than the one proposed, which
would place heavy penalties on traf-
fic.
