Straining the Immunities

In yesterdays "New York American"
on the same page with the announcement
that 40 members Of Congress had ac-
cepted Hearst's invitation to be his
guests in New York on July and wit
ness the city's loyalty to "the country's
flag, to the President and to the far
reaching aim to make the world safe for
democracy" scheme, in short, for
vomiting his disloyalty publicly in a vi
carious manner, was an article by his
Arthur Brisbane on Mexico, which the
Germans will use as anti-American prop
aganda in that country, as they have
used many Hearst newspaper editorials
before.
The article ended with these three
sentences:
ut would pay Mexico to be civil and
deal justly-especially if she wishes to
remain Mexico. We tanned and improved
large slice Of Mexico not so long ago
Texas, etc. The next slice will be big
ger"
The President only few days ago
addressed q delegation of Mexican edi-
&ors in an effort to quiet old wounds.
Hearst's man Brisbane. wakes them
again, gratuitously and with malice.
: The President is seeking to make Mex
leo believe that our relations are to be
forever friendly and that we mean never
to interfere in her affairs.
Hearst's man Brisbane tells Mexico
and 100000 newspaper readers that
the next slice of Mexico we take will be
bigger than Texas.
The President is trying to save Mexico
from the Germans.
Hearst's man Brisbane, by these words,
gives German propagandists there the
means to overcome the Presidents work.
The President wishes to avert compli-
cations with Mexico. Hearst's man Bris-
bane seeks to provoke them.
The Brisbane article, besides being
printed in the Hearst newspapers, was
printed also in "The Washington Times"
which Brisbane says is his and which
he personally conducts with the time left
over from editing Hearst's "Chicago
Herald and Examiner"
In yesterdays washington Times"
Brisbane printed also a page article on
Hearst, suggesting that he run for Gov
ernor of New York State on the plat
form of honesty first, down with the
profiteer, up with the workingman.
Suppose Hearst were elected Governor
Of New York State. What would they
say in Mexico? What would they say in
Germany? He may run, but he cannot
be elected. We should trust the Presi-
dent to make sure of that.

A Little Thing

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You waved at the soldierl II was
a little thing on your part, but it meant
lots to him. He had been drilling for
months on the barren sands of National
Army camp. He had worn blue denims
when there was no uniform, had drilled
with wooden guns and done the disaerec
able fatigue with a light heart
And then he began that long journey to
the port of embarkaton" He was wild
with delight and spent most of his t;me
leaning out of the window and wayinp at
everybody and anything that he saw. and
they stopped in their work and waved back
and it put pride and enthusiasm in hin,
ne had not known before When he stonnaa
at rest station and was taken ont for
exercise it put "pep' into his stem and
Bearing.
And then he got to New York the c;tv
OF MS imagination, for he had spent his
NE on the farm and in the village. And
the way the people of that CITY received
HIM made him think he was the fret 80
ms KIND to come their way. He did NOT
realize that they had seen thousands -,
HIM before Their welcome was as en+bu-
slastlc as for the first one. That uniform,
lie wore meant more to him now than
ever, and his fighting qualities were il,
creased hundredfold-he fully realizes

False Merit

Many who are in honest perplexity
about prohibition, and also, we believe,
many others who had been already con-
verted, will be estranged and disgusted
by the untimely zealotry of those who
are trying to bring it about by indirec-
tion. Against the protest of the President
the Food Administrator and the chair
man of the Shipping Board-to mention
only three-the agricultural appropria-
ton bills are obstructed first in the House
and then in the Senate by amendments
designed to make the country "bone dry"
for the duration of the war All such
amendments have been illogical in them
selves; are proposed to stop the produc-
tion of beer and wines without regard
to the fact that although the manufact-
ure Of whiskey has been discontinued
there is large stock in the country So
that almost inevitably the effect of dry-
ing up the sources Of beer and wines
would be an orgy of whiskey drinking.
Another amendment proposes to stop
the manufacture of beer within three
months, and of wine nine months later.
All of them are Objectionable as rider
legislation.
Absolute prohibition is an experiment
that has never been tried in the world.
Whether the good would overbalance the
i'll effects no one is competent to say be-
forehand. Authoritative opinion is of
no avail, because it is hopelessly divided.
We very much doubt if anybody has
ever had reasoned opinion about pro-
hlbitlon. People are for it or against it
as their emotions dictate, and their emo
tions arise from every conceivable source
of human prejudice, feeling and predi-
lection. Probably neither side will be
satisfied until it has been tried and
proved to be either success or a failure.
Experience may be SO disputed as to
make even that test inconcusive. But
at all events so great an adventure in
human restraint should be approached
with awe and reverence, whereas the
prohibition zealots at Washington pro-
pose to commit the country to it by
means of an amendment to an appro-
priation bill.
They will not succeed. The President
has already expressed his disapproval of
these particular amendments and of
rider legislation in general. Undoubt
edly, II necessary. he would veto an ap-

Ftion of friendly aid and armed assistance

are now striving to overthrow the Boil

to the tax on excess war profits. Mr..
Finley says Eighty per cent Is the
amount taken ia. England. II ought
to be 100 per cent, and one good cure
for all wars in the future would be to
take $50 per cent excess war profits.
Then there might be no inducement to
start wars ia any country, This ID
evidently intended to convey the idea
that this war was started BY business
interests that wanted to make money
out Of it. In the face of the evidence
now available TO every one who reads,
regarding the causes Of the war, the
