THE GRAND PARyENU

Old Bismarck styled the young kaiser the rich heir
The great chancellor always had the genius for accurate
and biting description. By this phrase of his for William
IL. he anticipated the squandering of the patrimony OF
the grandfather by the grandson. William II strove to
resist the impulses Of the rich heir, to refute Bismarck
SANDER and ITO hold and increase the inheritance. But
his nature was too much for him, and in August, 1914,
he threw away all that had been left him-in order to in.
dulge in that dissipation of crowned autocrats, war.
Shrewd and bitter, old Bismarck might as we'll have
extended his characterization to cover the whole German
nation. The whole German generation who inherited
from Bismarch and Moltke. and the men Of 1870, fel,
after Bismarck was a parvenu power. intoxicated with
unaccustomed wealth, making a nuisance and scandal OF
itself. 1t hadn't any dignity, and reticence. It was Of
fenstvely vulgar and bullying. It wore huge diamonds
all over its shirt bosom and advertised itself loudly by
word of mouth.
Before 1870 Germany was a poor country and its
people were parsinonious. Not only were the Germans
poor, but they were wonted to humility and servility
They had been trampled on by every conquerer in Eu-
rope, and kicked around by their own princes. conse.
Fquently and naturally when sudden success came to them
it went to their heads, and being a people without sense
of delicacy, they behaved as a bully.
Mr.. Brand whitlock, writing of his experience in
Belgium. remarks this German quality. He says: 1T
was not only the constant outrage Of that sense Of jus.
tice which lives in most men who have known liberty. but
every day brought some concrete instance Of injustice
or. if not that, Of some indelicacy, which is worse than
crime. Nothing was too small, too petty, for the official
notice of the government of occupation. It had the no.
ton. everywhere the mask of immature development,
that every inexact statement, no matter how trivial, must
be pursued and hunted down. It spent much time in de-
malls and explanations; long, elaborate, puerile discus
|sions were posted on the walls and published in the cen
sored press"
And again: Nothing perhaps could any better have
set forth the immaturity of the German mind than this
piece of special pleading, with its ilogic, it's lack Of the
most rudirnentary understanding of the laws of evidence
and the rules by which enlightened men fix RESPONSE
bility."
And this is the kultured race who not only aspired to
conquer the world <Huns. Monsols and Turks have done
that). but to benefit mankind by their stupid and AFRO
CANT rule.-Minneapolis Journal.

THE DEPENDABLE POTATO

A survey Of the country's food products for 1918
shows a crop of potatoes sufficient to insure us from hun
ger and yet not large enough to be a calamity. Though
the government sees a shortage of fifty-one million bush
els as compared with last year. there are still three
hundred and eighty one million bushels in sight, and a
better prospect of getting the crop to market than a year
The winter shortage and the spring glut last season
were due to a lack Of freight cars for bringing the pota-
toes to market in the fall. Locked up by frost in country
cellars all winter. they were let loose on consumers in the
spring In overwhelming quantity. This both discouraged
the farmers and demoralized the trade.
Minnesota stands second only to New York as a
potato-producing state this season. each having raised
a little more than thirty-two million bushels.
We are now eating potatoes at about two and a half
cents per pound, wheat flour at about six cents, and rye
and corn at about five cents. Considering comparative
food values, the price is too high for potatoes. But the
history Of the crop shows that we like potatoes we'll
enough to eat more than three hundred million bushels
yearly without much thought as to how the price COM
pares with food values. This liking for potatoes. to-
gether with the necessity Of eating something in place
Of wheat flour, will probably take care of all our, pota-
toes this year on present price levels.
Another supporting factor is that as a food for 1--we
stock potatoes have a value almost equal to their present
market price as human food. Fed with a little grain
this vegetable is being converted into pork by wise feed
ers at a rate to net the farmer more than a dollar a
bushel for his tubers. Starch factories also are taking
increased quantities. The Minnesota factories will prob
ably need a million bushels this season. Plants for max
ing potato flour, drying potatoes and distilling fuel al
cohol from potatoes arc being built under the stimulus
Of war prices.
Potato products industries may not prove profitable
after the war. But without doubt our forced increased
intimacy with this vegetable will leave the potato and the

were counted up at its conclusion the
local treasury was found to have beer
enriched by 1915.
Though Mr. Waite's generosity af.
forded the opportunity, the develop.
ment OF that opportunity was due
largely to the excellent organization
and conscientious work of the women
and girls who, assisted by Mr.. Waite's
force, combed the town for orders; put
them mp IN the store, and afterwards
delivered them, working until after ten
o'clock at night TO do so. In addition
to this they attended to the wants of the

directly.
