MEETING THE DEMAND.

Who would have dreamed that peach pits
and nut shucks would help us win the war?
Yet they are doing it and saving many lives;
for the charcoal made of them, fine, heavy,
porous, is more effective than any other in alb
sorbing poisonous gases when used in masks.
We had little conception at the outset of the
many things we could and should have to do in
waging this war. We looked to Germany for
potash, dyes, drugs, chemicals, optical glass
and many instruments of precision we are now
producing for ourselves. We are mining pot
ash in many new places. We are making it out
OF seaweed and new deposits of it have been
found in various lands. AS for the manufac-
tured articles we formerly content to buy
of Germany, we shall hereafter not only sup
ply our own needs but export surplus to other
peoples This war has thrown the nations on
their own resources, and the experience is Just
as profitable to them as it is to boys of whom
responsibilities make men. Nations like indi-
viduals can do most of the things that have to
be done

THE SENATE AND THE TAX BILL.

There is little probability that the revenue
measure which has now gone to the senate Will
be perfected, accepted in conference and sent
to the president before election. But there is
reason to hope that the upper house will correct
any crudities in the bill; and this is evidently
the expectation of the house.
Almost all important financial measures with
in living memory have been modified or rewr1c
ten by the senate and made more equitable and
acceptable to the people. The house habitrai-
ly works in haste, and with it's eyes on election
never more than two years away. The senators
with their longer terms, less influenced by per-
sonal considerations, discuss revenue measures
with more acumen and discrimination, and
usually greatly better all such bills. Fair
minded representatives desire and assume that
this will be done and the house often lodges
an issue or shirks duty, confident that the SEN
ate will not.
No feature of our form of government has
been more fully justified than the two-chamber
system; and the old argument that the hot tea
brewed in the house would cool in the senate
saucer has commonly proved true. Our supreme
court makes ours in a sense a three-chamber
system such no other nation possesses; yet in
spite of this triple safeguard not all our legisla
ton is wise. But it is infinitely better than it
would be were there no double check upon the
demagogism of a house majority, playing, as it
often does, to the galleries and for reelection.

LEST WE FORGET.

The Independent: Val Fisher, a
London publisher and. a member Of
the London Chamber of Commerce,
who lis visiting this country, brings
to American business men sugges-
tons relating to the development Of
good will through the medium of
advertising, and gives figures to
prove the gains accrued to those
English firms which during the war
period have maintained their pub
licity continuously.
Mr.. Fisher, in one of his New York
addresses, says:
British manufacturers who have
not a dollars worth of merchandise
to sell, whose entire plants are en-
ployed on government work, are
keeping their advertising continu-
ously before the public, because
turn their profits oyer to the gov
eminent, while they are perfectly
willing for the sake of winning the
war to have their factories comman-
deered and their normal business
completely stopped, yet they are not
willing to sacrifice their good will;
they are not willing to have their
names or their products forgotten.
And SO they continue their adver-
Using, continue building their good
will, so that when the war shall be
won there. will be an Immediate de-
mand for the billions of dollars
worth of merchandise that their
greatly enlarged factories will then
turn out"
There have been several items in
the German press in which ridicule
is directed toward American manu-
facturers for disseminating their ad-
vertising, adding that German manu-
facturers are wise enough to know
that markets once controlled can be
easily lost through the cessation of
publicity, and that they are continu-
ing their advertising and will con-
tinue it because it is the best bust
ness insurance they can buy.
England, too, is evidencing a far
better vision than America
1t behooves our manufacturers 10
strive to keep the public's faith
rather than to let the disease of for
getting undermine the foundation
which may have been built only after
years of effort and advertising.

TODAYs BIT OF VERSE
SUCH A LITTLE WHILE,

SUCH LITTLE WHILE.
How short a while it seems since we were glad;
And danced or laughed together at play
Nor did think of life sad;
1t seemed sweet to us-just yesterday
Together had drunk cup of fame,
And, side by side had loved and worked and played
And life seemed but a happy game
We fortunes laughing-unafraid.
And then-the war! It's meaning well we knew
flushed hearts; dared not speak of life,
Our haunting fears In each swift moment grew
Beneath the darkening shadow Of the strife
One day in silence, dear, you went away
In silence drawer than brave words; I know
You felt that would never have you stay,
However hard it let you go.
And now you lie quite still, You laugh more;
Those lips, that loved Life well, mute today.
And SO, the lights dimmed; the dance is DER,
The music hushed the laughter dies

IMMIGRATION AND THE TEST

We shall have no problem on which to spend
more to safeguard national interest thas
that of immigration after the war Reports
come from the camps at which German prison
ers are informed of many hundreds who declare
1T to be their wish to come to this country when
peace Is restored. We want none of them who
lcome with a half-hearted loyalty, not to speak
of traitors. 1t may well be that when GERMANY
iis beaten her soldiers will, many of them, feel
bitterly enough about the war madness that
tNsea them as cannon fodder; revulsion of
lsentiment is reasonable prediction for vast
phasses OF the German people We want no i'm
piaSfallls Who come to use the opportunities

here offered to make money unless where their
treasure is, their hearts are to be. we want
no new propaganda of foreign origins. we
shall welcome those who come in with will to
become honestly loyal citizens. 1t will be no
easy task to find a means Of determining what
immigration material will satisfy our require
mentS after the war.

PUNISHMENT FOR H1GHER-UPs.

We probably shall hear much, the war
draws to its close, of the proposal already moot
led to establish an international high court of
justice to try and punish offenders against the
law of nations. It is folly to make laws that are
not to be enforced. It is futile for nations to
agree upon conventions governing their rela-
lions one with another unless states consenting
thereto can be constrained to keep their word.
What security can there ever be for civiliza-
ton as long as evil rulers can at will and with
impunity violate all moral and human laws?
On what theory should society which Furnishes
the Individual murderer permit rulers respon-
sibe for Armenian butcheries to go free9 We
hang bandit chief who ravages and kills
Why should we hesitate to punish a commander
who orders horrible atrocities We hang
pirate from the yardarm. Why should not
Tirpitz responsible for colossal system of pi-
racy be brought to BARI
Early in the conflict the kaiser arrogantly
declared that there was no international law
meaning by this that there was no law which
he respected or which could be enforced against
him. On this theory his armies were ordered
or encouraged to commit every kind of crime
There was no commandment in the decalogue
no convention of the nations they did not VIC
late and defy. Can civilization ever be safe un-
less assassin rulers are held responsible for the
crimes they commits Heretofore in history the
only punishment visited on rulers has been that
melted out by victorious kings on defeated
kings, in which there was commonly more of
vengeance than of justice. But humanity has
progressed; and if the world is to have inter
national law why should it not have an inter
national tribunal to sit in judgment on inter
national criminals?
