AN ECONOMIC PEACE.
That Is What Must Be Had If Democ
racy Is to Be Made Safe.

The origin of the late, like that Of all
other wars, was economic. More than
anything else, it was conflict between
Germany and Great Britain for the con-
troll of raw materials and the trade of
the world, to be held through control of
the seas France was involved by the
desire for regaining Alsace- Lorraine We
were much less directly involved, by the
danger of assault by victorious Ger
many on the Monroe doctrine and the
control of the Panama canal The sentl-
mental considerations W lie an after
thought. Had it really been sentiment
which involved us in the war we should
have entered it when the president was
urging us TO be neutral even in though"
and asseverating that we were "too
proud to fight" in which, as it turned
out, he was in error
As the war was an economic war, the
peace, to be permanent, must be an eco
monte peace. 1t is unnecessary to say
that Germany will sign the proposed
treaty with. intent not TO observe it any
longer than she can help it. The world
knows it. When France signed the
treaty ceding Alsace.Lorraine under
duress the French never ceased to plan
for repudiating the treaty at the earli-
est possible moment, Everybody knows
that Germany will sign the proposed
treaty with the same intention, which is
the reason for reducing that country to
military impotence and keeping it there.
So far as justice is concerned there
can be no terms which are unjust to Ger
many There is no penalty too severe
for her sins. But, looking TO the future
of the world, the peace should be ar
ranged in the same calculating cold blood
with which the war was begun, The only
question to be determined is what viii
pay the victors best
II is certain that II will not pay us
permanently to police 70,o00,000 Of Ger
mans. II would cost too much. Better
forego all reparation than undertake
that. But It is not necessary to forego
reparation. Germany can pay hugely,
and should be made TO do So
But If she is to pay her people must
earn the money, for they have not the
necessary gold or commodities at pres
ent. They must, therefore, have raw
MAJ httct anu dbJNt an hhA4iH
hope Unles they can see their way out
they will not work, they cannot pay, and
the necessity Of policing the country, If
not Russia also, will be upon us.
Among private individuals the bank
ruptcy laws are universally regarded as
essential to the prosperity of the nation.
The creditors take what the debtor has
to pay debts as far as it will 60, relieve
him Of the rest and give him a new
chance.
As among nations the same principle
holds good Germany is bankrupt. 1t
will not pay the world to keep her bank
rupt. It would be just, but ii would not
pay. Society gives even the lowest Grim.
NAL chance after exacting penalty, It
viii pay best to give Germany chance.
And the treaty should be made solely on
economic consideration. Justice is i'm
possible II often is.--San Francisco
Chronicle.

Shall We Ever Find the Weather curvei

Do you suppose the time will ever
come when we can look in our almanacs
and learn months in advance that the
10th of October will be beautiful In
dian summer day, clear and COOL and
that the 18th will usher in bleak rain
What a wonderful convenience it
would be to foresee the weather, and so
to pick out "fine days" for all important
occasions! Or if we could, a month in
advance, know as much about the wealth
er as we now know two days ahead, the
gain would be incslculable.
1t all depends on "the weather curve,
whether there is any such animal, in the
first place, and in the second, whether
we shall ever be able to find it. That
is to say, is it now decreed that the 10th
of October will be beautiful day, or
does that depend on conditions in the
meantime, which are in their essential
nature accidental? OF course, there are
people who profess to foretell the wealth
err for a season, but the science of the
world regards five days as about the
limit into which we can peer into the
future with any hope of success.
How changed would be all our Gus.
toms if we only had this advance in
formation! We should amend the CON
stitution so as to make Inauguration
the FIRST suitable day in March, rather
than the 4th. The rainy day interests
of the world would have an inning, too.
We should have advertisements of the
sort Of summer hotel for a rainy spell
next August, or a very dry period in
Sentemberl What could appeal more
wildly to the imagination than long
distance weather forecasting? And it
may come. This is a world of strange
surprises Boston Herald.

NEW BUNCO PLAN
 WORKED WELL

A clever confidence man filched the cashier of the Sheffield lunch, 1884 Main street, of $2O last night, in $ new kind of a bunco game.
 The man entered the place, with S2V in small bills and an envelope in his hand. Stepping to the cashiers desk, he asked for $20 bill for the money, as he wished to send it away in A letter.
 The cashier gave him the bill, and on counting the money which he handed to her found that the man had given her $19.6O. She called the mans attention to the fact thas he was 40 cents short on the transaction.
 Whereupon the confidence man stated that he was employed at the Bennett Photo Supply store, 1042 Main street, and that he woul1 go there and get the 70 cents, and return immediately lie left the envelope, which was found to be empty, and with no address on it with the cash fer. Taking his. S19.60 and the $20 bill, he went out of the lunch room and has not been seen since. Insuir- ies at the photo supply store dignlos- ed the fact that the man was not known there. The Detective Bureau is conducting an investigation.
