Editorial

Here is a story told Of Charles
Darwin, the great naturalist:
One day che was out hunting
beetles. He found one speci-
men which he caught in his
left hand; pretty soon he saw
a Tarer one and he imme-
diately grabbed II in his right
hand; a few steps farther he
discovered a still rarer beetle.
Both hands were full. With
out a moments hesitation
pop-Mr. Right Hand Beetle
went into his mouth and he
secured the extremely rare
beetle, and thusly carried the
three home at the expense of
a badly pinched tongue.
Not such a pretty picture, yet it
illustrates the determination
and will power of the man
who gave to us the Darwin
ian theory-the one which
revolutioniZed all former
theories of evolution.
We don't advise catching bee
ties in your mouth to become
famous, but we do say that
If you WILL to succeed there
is a way, and a little quick
thinking will show you the
way.

Snowbound West Extricatine
Rail Lines From Drifts.
Storm Cost Chicago 21a Million
-Shovelers, so Cents Hour.

Chicago, Jan. S.-The middle west
was digging itself out today.
Railroads were gradually working
back to normal schedules, interurban
and street car lines were beginning to
operate and business was resuming its
usual trend, following the heaviest
snow storm in the history of this Sec
ton.
There was still a serious fuel and
milk shortage in many sections. owing
to the difficulty of local deliveries thru
the situation was being relieved thru
the volunteer labor of thousands of
citizens armed with shovels.
The temperature had dropped sew
eraI degrees and was two above zero
in Chicago early today. The weather
bureau promised more snow on top of
the foot and a half fall of the last two
days, but nothing so serious as the
recent blizzard was anticipated.
Milk Aviates 90 rs Cents.
City officials estimated that the
blizzard cost Chicago alone about
s2,615,OO0, including loss of business
to merchants and transportation COM
panies.
Snow shovelers wages today reached
the high mark of SO cents an hour,

should be erected which should in
clude the territories inhabited by in
disputable Polish populations which
should be assured a free and secure
and economic independence and ter
ritorial integrity should be guaranteed
by International covenant.
IA general association of nations
must be formed under specific cove
nants for the purpose of affording
pendence and territorial integrity to
great and small states alike.
We Are World Partners.
In regard to these essential rectifi-
cations of wrong and assertions of
right we feel ourselves to be intimate
partners of all the governments and
peoples associated together against
the imperialists. We cannot be sepa-
rated in interest or divided in pur-
pose. We stand together until the
end.
For such arrangements and COW
enants we are willing to fight and to
continue to fight until they are achiev-
ed but only because we wish the right
to prevail and desire a just and sta BILE
peace such as can be secured only by
removing the chief provocations to
war, which this program does remove.
We have no Jealousy of German great
ness and there is nothing in this pro-
| l.
no achievement or distinction of
learning or of pacific enterprise such
as have made her record very bright
and very enviable. We do not wish
to injure her or to block in any way
her legitimate influence or power. We
do not wish to fight her either with
arms or with hostile arrangements of
trade if she is willing to associate her
self with US, and the other peace-lov-
ing nations of the world in covenants
of justice and law and fair dealing.
We wish her only to accept place
of equality among the peoples of the
world-the new world in which we
now live-instead of a place of mas
terry.
Neither do we presume to suggest
to her any alteration or modification
of her institutions. But 1t is neceS-
sary we must frankly say and neces-
sary as a preliminary to any intelli-
gent dealings with her on our part,
that we should know whom her
spokesmen speak for, when they speak
jority or for the military party. and
the men whose creed is imperial DOM
ination.
Justice to All.
We have spoken now. surely, in
terms too concrete to admit of any
further doubt or question. An evil
dent principle runs thru the whole
program I have outlined. 1t is the
principle of justice to all peoples and
nationalities, and their right to live on
equal terms of liberty and safety with
one another, whether they be strong
or weak. Unless this principle be
made its foundation, no part Of the
structure of international justice can
stand. The people of the United
States could act upon no other princi-
pie and to the vindication of this
principle they are ready to devote
their lives, their honor and everything
that they possess. The moral climax
of this, the eliminating and final war
for human liberty has come, and they
are ready to put their strength, their
own highest purposes, their own in
tegrity and devotion to the test.

But Liberals Opposition to An

TRUTH SCARCE IN GERMANY
u. S. DiSclOSes How Kaiser De-

Controls News Absolutely by
Secret Censorship.

Washington. Jan. S.-Preliminary
reports indicated today that Germany
is indisposed to accept Lloyd Georges
peace terms as a basis for negotia-
tions.
However. other advices showed that
Germany's liberals are beginning to
assert themselves more strongly than
ever before This gave some hope
that the internal reconstruction de-
sired by the allies and the United
States as a peace basis will eventually
get under way.
The liberals opposition to Ger
many's annexation plans for Russia
was considered as perhaps the most
hopeful sign the Teuton mind has
shown. While some here suggested
that if Germany were to get the slice
obtained, the general feeling was that
such a peace would only lead to trou-
bic later. Protection against future
wars is one of the main things the al
lies want. however, in any peace
agreement now reached.
EnRIand's Fleet Snag.
Some authorities say that with
England's fleet intact and guarding
ports all over the world. Britain will
shut Germany off from future world
trade, while with Germany's militar-
ism existent, she will constantly be a

make concessions in these respects,
peace will be difficult, the experts say.
as dollars and cents are at the basis
of eve'y war ever fought.
In some quarters here, there was
an inclination to believe that the first
outbursts of the German press against
Lloyd Georges speech were govern
ment inspired and that later Germany
will maneuVer into some sort of peace
negotiations.
Dcccivcs Own People.
Meanwhile, Germany's utter dis
honesty, even with her own people was
clearly proven today by secret censor
ship regulations published by the state
department. showing a complete press
control. Liberal speeches were sup
pressed; news of suspicious fires or
disasters withheld comment on for
eign news of extreme political signifi-
canoe was cOlored to suit German gov
eminent purposes; efforts were made
to cheer the tagging spirits of the
wearied Austrians.
One secret circular to the press held
that there was a certain amount of
"oluff'' about American war prepare
lions, but added the fac, must not
be overlooked that the United States
with the support of its capacity for
material and Industrial management
is arming itself for war with great
energy and tenacity."

acceptance is forbidden.

fore the senate interstate commerce

the railroads will not favor any plan
of government operation or control
which takes away from them control
of their finances. He said the gov

letting the various concerns handle

ing found this plan successful. Thorn
stated that the railroad viii insist on
getting all their n~oe+s instead of sim
ply a guaranteed income.
