GERMANY'S TINSEL
DEMOCRACY

The sincerity of Germany's new pro-
testations of liberalism does not I'M
press US. Ultimate power in Germany
rests where it always has. with the
Emperor. and with the imperial war
council. The power exercised by the
Chancellor comes from tho throne. and
not by the people. In this is the weak
ness of the German pretense to a
democratic governmental organization.
1t is impossible 10 conceive Of Il real
democracy. in which the old theory OF
the divine right OF kings still lives: in
which royalty and nobility strut
around. and still claim special place.
power and privilege BY the accident Of
birth. The German military class is
so strongly entrenched in the national
life that nothing short Of series OF
major surgical operations will re-
move it,
There is no evidence that such an
>aNaton has been performed. The
.Allies will perform il. sooner or later,
/: and then the job will, be done thor
; oughly.

LOOKING FOR NEW LEADER

AS much as some people would like
ito have il SO. the american people
shave not adjourned politics this year.
in fact, there are many signs that the
;yoters are beginning to take very
keen and very intelligent interest in
public affairs. They have put over the
Fourth Liberty Loan. they have re-
.sponded 10 every patriotic demand. and
now they are giving some thought to
the serious problem of the election OF
new Congress. The Intelligencer be-
, lieves that the development OF senti-
ment. more and more every day, indi-
Gates the election OF Republican Con-
gress by an overwhelming majority.
Democratic candidates are reduced
- to that single appeal that Demo
'cratic Congress is necessary for the
support of President Wilson This
appeal would very properly have
weight, if Republicans in Congress had
obstructed necessary war measures, if
'they had been lacking in patriotism. or
If they had merely made fault finders
,of themselves. instead Of constructive
leaders. But exactly the opposite is
the case. The factious. foolish and
unpatriotic objections TO war meas
ures have come from Democrats. while

THE PRESIDENTS ANSWER

President Wilson'S third note to the
German Chancellor leaves little to be
said, if anything would be said at all.
A great many people doubt the Wis

conditional surrender" without any
notifications, evastons, or subterfuges,
is the popular thought. Mr.. Wilson's
note, it seems to The Intelligencer
practically means that very thing,
though it does take diplomatic course
of expression. Its essentials are:
First. military surrender, the de-
tails of the armistice to be arranged
by the military commanders. We have
10 fear that Foch, Haig and Pershing
will fail to push their present military
advantages to the utmost. The. terms
which they will impose will be hard
enough.
Second, absolutely no bargaining
with the German Emperor, and his fol-
lowing
The second stipulation Is plainly an
invitation to the German people not
only to establish a liberal government,
but to crush autocracy completely. 1t
puts the Kaiser and his satellites out
side of the worlds peace. It brands
them as criminals, with whom we will
have no dealing except at the point Of
the sword.
In this ringing declaration. President
Wilson will have the enthusiastic sup
port Of the American people. 1t fore
shadows a demand. which We believe
will be made in the peace conference,
for the personal punishment Of the
Kaiser, and those about him. who have
been chiefly responsible for the VIC
lation OF the worlds peace, and for the
crimes that have accompanied and
been part of German warfare. 1t
practically says to the German people:
Dethrone your Emperor, wipe out the
Hohenzollern dynasty. root and
branch; destroy the war lords, who
have deceived and misled you. Then
you may have peace. and not till then.

that neither Mr.. Wilson nor any other

TIE NEWSPAPER S TROUBLE

Advances in the costs Of white paper
come so rapidly these days that the
harried newspaper publisher may be
excused for becoming little peevish.
Only two weeks ago the New York
Federal Court fixed the price Of news
print at the mill ut $1,000 per ton. and
now along comes the Federal Trade
Commission and gives it another boost
to $500 per ton at the mill, or about
$500 per ton delivered in the press
room. This is an advance. since 1914.
of slightly over 100 per cent
The reading public is not necessarily
greatly interested in the woes Of the
newspaper publisher. but little infor-
nation concerning them is necessary
from time to time, TO explain some Of
the very radical changes that condi-
tons make necessary. The newspaper
these days has about all the disad-
vantages OF being in the hands Of the
government, with none Of the resulting
advantages. 1t has to give its space
most literally to every patriotic and
charitable movement. 1t fills its col

rue with which to foot the bills.
