PRESERVE THE PROPERTIES.

..The boys came back says Ole Hansen;
|" and got their pay checks for thirty dollars q
month and then Newt went to Fort Leaveil-
worth where there were conscientious DIRECTORS
who had discovered something in their religion
that would not permit them to fight and gave
these slackers the same pay check and the some
honorable discharge given to the man who went
overseas. | say this is rotten Ole Hansen
declares he is out to work against it until every
conscientious objector has had his honorable
discharge taken away.
With Mr.. Hansen's intense earnestness upon
this subject no patriotic American will ind
word of fault. But was it altogether proper to
speak Of so considerable parsonage as the hon
orabe secretary of war with flippant familiar
Iity as 'Newt9" No doubt this is the breezy
Washington state way and nothing may be
thought of it out in Seattle where Ole Hansen
as mayor stamped out an I w. w. movement
with vigor which electrified the land But
newt is an insignificant little thing. Accord
ing to Noah Webster s invaluable book, which
no family should be without, newt is any

for part of their existence; an eft or triton.
In England, commonly a salamander Of the
genus triturus the common species be-
ing the crested newt and the smooth newt In
America, commonly a salamander of the genus
diemictylus. =
So there seems to be a certain lack of respect
in shortening the name of Newton into Newt. =
The fact that Cleveland people did this very
generally is no excuse They knew him; he
lived among them and ran for Office there. The
voters naturally Whitfield him down to Newt, -
and he may have come to like it. But he is in
the class with big men now, has spent fourteen
billion dollars of the people money and is said
to consider himself presidential possibility;
and it is not of record that even President Will
son ever presumes to address him by belittlinS |
fragment of his name We may agree, there
fore, with Mr. Hansen's structures on Mr.. Baker

say vilipendency, in publicly abiding to him as

THE MAN ON HORSEBACK.

Emporia Gazette: Every days
events are contributing to the irresisti-
Bile strength of the Wood boom. Wood
epitomizes safety from all the dangers
that beset the land. He is incarnate
law and order in a world drifting
toward anarchy. ."Other refuge have
we none. Hangs our helpless soul on
thee" singst he country to Leonard
Wood 1t doesn't ask how he stands
on the tariff; it isn't interested in his
attitude toward the farmers land bank
nor does it care where he stands on
the initiative, referendum, and recall.
While Lowden's friends are spending
money in printers ink and pussy
Ifooters, and where the favorite sons
have sent their outriders and heralds
to proclaim the glories of their un-
known candidates. Wood clubs are
being organized, and Wood sentiment
is crystallizing everywhere.
Unless the situation changes no
other candidate will be mentioned in
the republican convention. But the
situation. of course, In this country
will have to be desperate IL 1t does
not change. Unless the industrial
crisis which now seems about to

what may be happening then, even
to the Wood boom. And If it does

For 1t is easy to forget a friend
when the need OF him is past. And

FOR BETTER CONSULAR SERVICE.

1t is Just as well that blanket criticism OF our
consular service give way to some definite
propositions for its better1nent. On the whole
this service has acquitted itself with credit dur
ing the war period and American business is
paving tribute to what it has done. But there
have been handicaps and there are still; that
these will persist until certain changes in our
system is made is the belief of the American
Manufacturers Export association. But the as
sociation does not simply point out deficiencies;
ii suggests the measures that in it's belief will
correct them.
The criticm Of the association is not directed
at the consuls themselves, not at the personnel
of the service, but at the system under which
they are appointed and operate. One interest
ing recommendation is that the whole consular
service be put under the control of a central
diplomatic board of five members, with the sec
rotary Of state as chairman; another recommen-
dation is that with exception of ambassadors
and ministers, the whole consular service be
placed under civil service regulations. A sys-
TEN is suggested whereby promotions will be
regulated wherein beginners may by good work
be advanced to consu6hips, under-secretary-
ships first secretaryships, and t1rg autornatical-
ly become eligible for appointment as ministers
an ambassadors This looks to the making of
foreign service profession; one to enlist good
ability and 70 provide training to make that

THE COST OF THE WAR.

The Carnegie endowment for international
5eace has just issued little volume which at
tempts to compute the direct and indirect cost
of the war. The direct cost is put at one hun
ldred and eighty-six billions Of dollars. The in
direct cost, which includes loss of production
and the capitalized value Of human life, which
lis held to range from two thousand dollars in
Bulgaria to nearly five thousand dollars in the
United States, is estimated at one hundred and
Ififty-one billions The total war cost is thus
set at three hundred and thirty-seven billions,
and the vastness Of this sum may be the better
realized when we remember that the total ma
tional wealth Of the United States as ascertain
ed by the census of 1912 was hundred and
billion dollars. That is to say, if
all our real and personal property, public and
private could be sold at it's estimated value it
would bring only billion dollars more than
what the war directly cost the nations involved.
As this wealth has been used up, the world is
poorer than it was by about the value of the
United States.
Perhaps we shall never have more accurate
figures Of the war cost than these, and we seem
to have right to conclude that this loss must
measureably be made good by the productive
what they were FIVE years ago. 1t may be that
for many years to come the nations will have
less than formerly and adjust themselves to the
situation by getting along with less and making
q more equitable distribution of what they have
In any event we are justified in speculations on
the subject since it is condition new in human
affairs and our wisest do not know what the out
come is to be.

NEED OF PRACTICAL IDEAL1sM.

Hildegarde Hawthorne, granddaughter OF
the great Nathaniel, writes: There area great
many of us Americans to whom America IS
more than a geographical term, home, or
government. 1t is an ideal. At present we see
this ideal assailed by vast agglomeration OF
foreigners and so-called radicals, to whom
America means simply a convenient spot from
which to launch their attacks on society and the
world as it is now constituted. y
This is truth But it should be added that
many Americans to whom America is an ideal
act on the assumption that it is an ideal achiev-
cd and safeguarded; that it is an accomplished
fact The very presence of radical enemies to
our ideal proves that this ideal must be con-
stantly battled for; its devotion to freedom for
the individual involves danger from enemy in
dividuals and groups of them. 1t will count
little that America is an ideal if the idealists do
not rally to protect that ideal
