still further. We could not for a mo-
ment hold any world politics against
England; therefore the first Caprivian
policy was right. which coordinated
our colonial and feet politics with
good relations with England.

The example of France shows that
we would have Jared we'll with such
policy. The same example opposes
the chief argument of the opponents
Of the Caprivian policy. according to
which the English constitution shut
off any alliance with foreign Powers.
These same opponents always stated
further that any rapproachement with
England would plunge us into a war
with Russia, In favor of British inter-
ests. Even had this eventuated, this
war, of the intact Triple Alliance,
aided by England and possibly by
Japan, would have resulted far differ

politics began. This was not a free
blossoming Of statesmanlike creative
ness, but It was a bitter necessity born
of the compulsion to feed the fast
growing German people. 1t was not
world politics which directed lis basic
ally but the way that we might take It
up incidentally. Once Bismarck. when
preparing the founding of the realm,
spoke OF this, saying that Prussia was
carrying too heavy armor for her
weak body. The same smile might

Bismarck left us the heritage Of the

a strong enough springboard from
which We might have sprung into

case. The agreement insuring our
rear could be nothing else than an in
genious makeshift, which had to force
the unavoidable second choice be-
tween Russia and Austria Hungary
The opposition between these two
Powers was too great to be bridged
ever permanently. And then too came
the Austrian Italian differences. The

Evidences are accommodating lately
that the most persistent and determ-
ihed effort is being put forth by the
bolsheviks to spread the doctrine of
discomfort throughout the country. If
reports are to be credited there are
thousands of people in the United
States today who have no other oc-
cupation except to preach the doctrine
of discomfort with the view of creating
unrest and disrupting the government.
One can scarcely believe that in this
country with all of it's personal liberty
guaranteed to every individual that
patience is exercised by people of or
binary intelligence with such doctrines
as are advocated by the bolsheviks and
their kindred origin. We must be
prepared to find in our own neighbor
hood and perhaps with our own neigh
bors those who are throwing their in
f1uence against our own institutions and
in favor of this wild and vicious doc
trine.

the public is furnished in what recently

The charge had been made that the

this character are all well founded. The
contentious of the packers has been
from the start that they were furnishing

lowest possible profit and only for the
fact that they sare operating on an

enormous scale could they expect any
profit; whatsoever.
It is true that the packers have been
persistently pursued by politicians and
Others who apparently regard it as a
pastime to keep after them. We are of
the opinion that the high price Of meat
product is not due to prices charged by
the packers alone, but by others after
the packers have disposed of their hold
ing. A claim is made and defended
that the manufacturers have less re-
sponsibility for the high price Of living
than those who handle the product af-
ter leaving the factory.
1t is not surprise, to hear dealers in
goods congratulatfng themselves on the
magnificent record they have made in
the way Of profit on goods sold since
the beginning Of the war. It may be
that a great deal of the complaint that
is made should be lodged against these
people rather than those who produce
articles Of merchandise. One thing
seems to be certain and that is every
time the government takes a hand in
reducing prices, that prices Immediately
go up. This means that either the gov
eminent does not know how to proceed
to reduce the price of goods, or, else 1t
is not making any strenuous effort in
that direction. M
One can hardly conceive Of a reason.
why the price of goods should continue
to rise in view of the fact that the war
has been over for a year or more. 1t
would seem that the natural thing to
occur would be slump in prices rather
than an advance. The chances are that
prices. are advanced as a result of ma
nipulation and after while it will
dawn upon the people that proper eff
forts were never reSOrted to In order to
reduce price Of articles to consumers.
