A

The Germans were in Versailles in 1874 on another peace
mission. AT that time Won Bismarck was at their head-the
bullet headed Bismarck, who invented the phrase of blood
and iron and who left the war now closed as one of his
legacies to his country and to the world. He was largely
the author of the military spirit of Germany. He devised and
forged the sword with which the degenerated Hohenzollerns
played. In 1874 they dictated the peace, but this time the
peace Will be dictated to them. No wonder that the head of
the mission was so overcome that he could hardly speak when
he presented his credentials. But the French did not treat
them as brutally as Bismarck and his associates treated the
French in 1874. How different it all is. How amusing, though
contemplate, is their arrogance and their buster at the peace
table. =
How different 1t would be if the Germans had come to
Paris as conquerOrs and had summoned the conquered nations
to come and sign the peace of Germany. There would be
little or no debate and little or no consideration for feelings
or for boundaries, but there would be dctation, harshness,
imperiousness and instead of PREPARATIONS there wouldDke
conflscauons. 1t would not be asked what France could pay,
or England could pay, or America could pay, but it would be
laid down how much each should pay and it would be
enough to place each in vassalage to the throne of the Hohen-4
zollerns whose eagles would be flying over the civilized
world, and civilization itself would have been or become
something different.

THE C%HALDEANS, EFT AL

The impious Colonel Harvey in his Weekly has heard a
bit of news that is so small that the daily papers nave not
paid much attention to it, which is as follows and to-W1t:
The Chaldeans have called upon, the president, :
seeking self-determination and presumably American
tutelage under a mandate of the league OF nations.
IT'S well. But where are the Hittites, and the Invites,
and the perizzites? Fetch on the worth AmOrites,
and the merry Jebusites. Shall not the Geshur1tes
have a hearing too? And the Avies, and Gittites and
Eshkalonites, and the subjects of Og, King OF Bashan
surely they must have places lin the league OF
nations.
But why should not every race set up a little claim OF its
and why should not their universal Uncle Sam<be called
upon to set them up in housekeeping, paying all the expenses
of the establishments and after while sending troops over to
them to help the Hittites defend themselves against the Para
sites? What else did the Almighty in His wisdom endow the
Z. S. A. with so much wealth for and what else have we to do
but to make the world over while we continue to burn negroes
at the stake in Texas, the home of Colonel House and three
members Of the Cabinet? We are surprsd that as aSke
a man as Colonel Harvey is not able to catch the vision of Wr
higher destiny. He must labor under the now fossiized
idea that we still have problems unsolved at home.

There. is one good thing in the revised league constitution
and that is the optional manufactures, and for this the "buck-
ing" senators might as well be given the credit, as well as for
the preservation of the Monroe doctrine. In the original
constitution the mandatOries We're really mandatory. That
is the nation which should be told to do police and finance a
certain district had to obey the summons. 1t was a pretty
device to get the. United States to perform the bulk of the
disagreeable acts in the reconstructed world, while the other
nations would take those parts that were agreeable to them
because of selfish interests in them.
But in the revised constitution these mandatories are
optional. Nations need not obey implicitly. It means that
such assignments will be made by some concensus of opinion.
The United States can not be sent hither and thither to
gather the goats feathers at the behest of the majority of the
foreign nations. We believe that this reservation is one of
the most important of all, hardly second to the reservation
of the Monroe doctrine itself.

POLITICS IN STATE INSTITUTIONS

The recent legislature refused to enact the legislation
recommended by Governor Boyle for the removal of the state
eleemosynary, penal and reformatory institutions from the
domain of party politics. That was before the forced resig-
nation of DR.. J. J. Sullivan, of Virginia City, from the position
of superintendent of the hospital for the insane at Reno.
There has never been any reason publicly assigned for
the attitude of those who opposed the measure except the
reasons urged by the Carson Appeal, which were to the
effect that "there are plenty of good democrats to fill these
places and that the governor had shown entirely too much
consideration for men in other parties. What republicans
there are on the state payroll by virtue of Governor Boyle's
appointment the Tribune doesn't know and cares less, but it
has asked at least three of those who seemed to care to name
them, and the list is still a total blank. 1t is the blankest list
the Tribune has ever attempted to compile. This is not,
however, by way of complaint. The governor was big enough
to urge upon his party legislation that would not only have
compelled him to appoint men to certain positions who were
not of his own party but would have compelled his successors
in office, no matter what their party allegiance, to appoint
men from other parties.
There probably isn't a member of that legislature who,
when calling a physician to attend a member of his own
family ever asked what party ticket the doctor was in the
habit of voting. But they would say to the family OF the
unfortunate who must go to the insane hospital, or to the
parents of the hayward youth who goes to the reformatory,
I'VE have provided a doctor for you who has been very useful
to our party"
He may not be much of a medical doctor but he is a first
class political doctor.
He may not have done much for his profession but ne
has "done a lot for the party"
He may not have had any more experience in the treat
ment of insanity cases than the average neurologist has had
in the treatment of cholera. He may not be able to do much
for the inmates but he can do a lot for the party. Anyhow,
d-n the inmates.
Otnef states got away U tmS poHcy years dSo. e
vada is the only northern state within our knowledge that
has not. DR.. Sullivan would have stood as a good a chance
of appointment as chief engineer of the United States Steel
corporation as he would for appointment in Massachusetts,
or Indiana or Iowa or Ohio, to a position such as he held in
Nevada.
The Tribune is not urging that democrats more than
republicans are responsible for Nevada's present humiliating
position. In fact a democratic governor pleaded for a change
DR.. Sullivan is now under indictment in connection with the
drawing of a will for an aged patient who died soon afterward.
Sullivan was himself named as executor and his two brothers
as the benefcaries. They were not related to the deceased,
who left an estate valued at nearly a quarter of a million.

WHO ARE THEY?

According to dispatches from the City of Mexico there were
found on the body of General Aureliano Banquet the most
recent plotter against President Carranza but whose career
as a revolutionist was cut short by death in battle two weeks
ago, various papers duplicating American interests in the
revolt. 1t appears, so the story goes, that the uprising was
planned and financed by persons and corporations in the
United States opposed to the Carranza rule.
If this is true, the Mexican government would be doing
a good service to itself and to the people of this country by
making a full exposure of the plot including names.

In spite of the fact that influenza
recurs in modern times every 20 to 50
years in explosive waves, spreading
with the rapidity of an express train
over the land and with the speed of
an ocean liner on the sea and around
the globe, there has never been an
intelligent preparedness for the cpl
demic, nor suitable measures taken
before or after the attack. This
epidemic has differed from those that
have gone before in that the largest
percentage of victims were from 20 to
30 years of age, with fewer victims in
advanced years. In the first placevao
one should be alarmed by the approach
OF the epidemic. All should, however,

always with good results, simple,
harmless remedies, like bicarbonate
OF soda, or, what lie still better, q new
remedy discovered by DR.. Pierce and

tablets will neutralize the acids in the
system, render the urinary tract and

the bladder and kidneys and carrying

After the attack of influenza or

backache, frequent arising at night,
perhaps rheumatism or sciatica. The
"Anuric" tablets are then the natural
remedy, and most efficient. : After
