THE RESULT IN MAINE.

The suffrage leaders deny that they are
much surprised or disappointed by the result IN
Maine The voters in that state have not been
sufficiently educated, they say, and declare
that they are fifty years behind the times; also
that they, the suffragists, did not expect the
amendment 10 pass.
In spite of these disclaimers and eNplana-
tons suspicion viii hnger in many minds that
inasmuch as the president of the nation and
the governor of the state had urged the people
of Maine to vote for suffrage these leaders
quoted had higher hopes OF victory than they
now admit. It certainly would be difficult to
discover how they find, as they claim to, an
augury of future victory" in this decisive de
feat. were it not that Mrs. Gait, the president
of the national association explains that 1.-THE
effect of every state Reputation only serves to

THE ENEMY WE FIGHT.

The inhuman advice of Count LuXburg, the
German charge at Buenos Aires, to his home
government that Argentine merchant ships be
sunk without leaving a survivor to tell the tale
shows the kind Of foe with which we are at
war. The fact that he dared to suggest such a
cold-blooded atrocity to his government shows
how utterly INSCRIPTIONS the imperial oil
garchy is. How uncomfortable that an Ameri-
can diplOmatist accredited to a neutral nation
would think of cOunseling such an act Of p-
racy. Official Washington and the entire
country would be mortified at the suggestion,
and the kindest explanation would be that the
mind Of our representative had broken down.
But the infamous act advocated by the
treacherous Prussian is nothing new for his
government. 1t is known to have attempted
the same things often; and there Is only TOO
much reason to believe that it has frequently
succeeded. There is positive proof that L
boats which have sunk merchant vessels have
sheIled the survivors who sought to escape in
ifeboats And there is the case Of the Belgian
Prince, most horrible Of all. The Iifeboat5
were destroyed and the survivors, deprived Of
their lifebelts, were carried for a few miles on
the deck of the submarine which then sub
merged, drowning all Of them but two or three
who by the merest chance found pieces Of
wreckage to which they chung until picked up
The commander of this U-boat did what he
could and nearly succeeded in sinking the Bel
gian Prince without leaving trace Of it or a
survivor to tell the tale.
Such acts as these, the sinking of hospital
ships, the bombing of hospitals on land and
the ADVICE OF this remorseless envoy must con-
vince Americans that they are fighting a ma
ton winch shrinks at nothing, and an oigarchv
whose power for evil must be destroyed be-
aoie 'ne "oiio can hope for permanent peace.

Maxine Peace With Murderers.

New York World: If the vatican
will carefully study the messages
that the German charge d'affairs at
Buenos Ayres transmitted to the
foreign office through the Swedish
legation and which the state depart
ment has made public, it may have
clearer understanding why Presi-
dent Wilson, in his answer to the
popes peace proposals, fatty de-
clared that:
We cannot take the word of
the present rulers of Germany as
guarantee of anything that is
to endure, unless explicitly, sup
ported by such conclusive evil
dence of the will and purpose Of
the German people themselves as
the other peoples of the earth
would be justified in accepting.
Without such guarantees, treaties
of settlement, agreements Tor
disarmament, covenants 10 set up
arbitration in place OF force, ter
ritorial adjustments, reconstitu-
lions of small nations, if made
with the German government, no
man, no nation, could now de-
pend on.
II was by no accident that the dip.
lomatic agencies OF Sweden were
prostituted 10 the treacherous bust,
ness OF the German foreign office.
Neither was it by accident that the
German charge d'affaires advised his
government TO sink the ships of Ar
gen,ine without trace being left
Count Luxburg's CHASTITY phrase
.spurios versenkt," was wholly IN
harmony with the diplomatic policies
of the German government through
out the war.
While maintaining outwardly
friendly relations with Argentina, Ar
gentina's ships were TO be com pletely
DESTROYED and their crews and pas
sengers murdered so that no evil
dence should remain OF Germany 3
guilt. But this crime that was plot
ted was only an incident in a com
prehensive policy of crime pursued
bv Germany and defended by Ger.
many on the ground of military
necessity.
Germany's treachery toward Ar.
sentina was no more shameful than
its PREACHERS toward the United
States as revealed in the thinner
mann N emoranda. the atrocity that
Count Luxburg advised was no more
shocking than scores of other afro
cities which Germany has ardently
defended as iustifiable acts Of war
The debauching of the Swedish dip
louatic service is only one instance
in a general plan of corruption which
the German government has pursued
as ardently as it has carried on its
military operations.

Costly Epitl7ets.

Chicago Evening Post: The con
tenptible little army grew until it
commanded the wholesome fear of
the arrogant war lord who called it
names: the "idiotic Americans" de-
yeIoped sufficient intelligence to get
rid of Dumba, Boyd, Won Papen
and finally Bernstorf; the stupid
ass" of a foreign minister in Buenos
Aires has had the satisfaction of
handing Count Luxburg his pass
ports with a courtly, If sardonic,
God keep you" These epithets are
the costly product of that German
obsession which views all other
peoples as interiors. When Germany
learns that she is in a world of
equals and betters we will have
peace

Keokuk merchants win have Dol
lar day September 29.
The biggest sales day in the his
tory of the Retailers league will be
staged at that time.
New features are to be introduced,
and the grocers probably will get
into the game.
There will be a brand new stunt
in what IS known as period sales,
with new bargains for morning, after
noon and evening.
All of these plans were discussed
yesterday and adopted by the Dollar
day committee OF the Keokuk Re-
tailers' league of which Gorge Baur
is chairman. The committee met at
four o'clock at the Industrial asso-
citation rooms and outlined plan by
which Keokuk and the entire sur
rounding district will be treated to
the biggest bargain drive ever staged
here, or anywhere else for that
matter.
The newest stunt of all will appeal
to the shoppers. Heretofore the early
morning shopper availed himself, or
herself as was most frequently the
case, of all of the bargains. BY noon
the windows looked like a cyclone
had hit them, and while there were
bargains for most of the day, people
who worked all day until evening, or
who didn't get off until after lunch,
felt that they were not getting the
best OF the deal. So the committee
/ will try something new.
