OUR INCONSISTENCIES.


The people of the United States have
the reputation in Europe of being
ruled by sentimentality, of beine
tickle, of being Inconsistent OF al
these things we are measurably guilty
While the war was on, and while
the Victory loan was being floated
we bought bonds to the limit. Now We
are selling them at a big discount
The bonds are worth par, and above
/. but we are hurting them upon The
market more rapidly than they can be
absorbed, and with the proceeds we
are buying much that we do not need
A fifteen dollar pair of sh oes is lux
ury and a fifteen-dollar shirt is fool
ishness. There is not the slightest eX-
cuse for paying fifteen to twenty dol
laIs for a man 5 hat.
But Liberty bonds are being sold in
order 10 buy such extrava games,
Within a few years, when the Lib
erty bonds have been boarded by bet
ter financers than we, then we shall
indulge the luxury of cursing them
They will be bloated bon oh folders, men
who grabbed millions of bonds which
we urged them 10 buy from us. Also
we will point to them rs tax-dodgers
and will try to have the United states
break its solemn obliga ton by taxing
the bonds or repudlating them,
We want more railroads, New Mex
leo needs several hundreds of miles of
road and would do almost anything 10
have rich and untouched territory
opened But within year after such
road had been secured, we would be
denounclng 1t as an eNploiter of The
people and a taX-dodger.
We are opposed to the man who by
foresight and thrift becomes rich, even
II in the process Of becoming rich he
has bestowed incalculable benefits
upon the people who have enriched
him We are enyious of the people
who have been successful.
AS the Journal has pointed out
many times, the curse of the country
is the demagogue, Sometimes he is a
man who has an itch for office and
tries to get the office by lying to the
voters. Sometimes he is a man who
makes his living by agitating against
capital and grating on labor. Now
and then he farms the farmer as
Townley is doing in North Dakota.
But not one of these men can point
10 any unselfish thing he has even
done. If education Is to be sustained
if a hospital is TO be built, if a func
Is to be raised for the care of the
needy, no one would think of going tc
the demagogue TO raise one dollar, lei
alone a thousand dollars.
But the demagogue always has 9
hearing, and he generally has a fol
lowng-usually made up of victims OF
his glib tongue.

ALLEGED ADVANTAGES OF A
MONARCH Y.

The London Times, commenting
upon the good impression made by the
Prince of Wales during his recent tour
of the United States says the princes
achievements has suggested to the
American people that there may be
genuine advantages in a long and test
ing training for men who are destined
10 perform conspicuous public duties"
The Times thinks that in the institu-
ton of royalty, through which future
rulers are trained to their task from
birth the British have a national pos
session of great price
One may construe the article ac-
cording to the point of view. either as
an argument for the adoption of the
monarchical form of government by
the United States or as an apology for
its retention by the British. We are
accustomed to think of the king of
England as more or less of a figure
head. The English themselves assure
us that he exercises no authority in
the conduct of the government.
The leader of the people should
toulc llOIl Aiit ptVpltt IlOA lloHl mo
birth be set apart as sort of super
man. a commoner, knowing the wants
and hopes of The masses through be-
longing TO them himself, makes the
best executive. The British recognize
this; their prime minister is centrally
a commoner.
But if it is desired to have an orna-
mental ruler, representing in his per-
son the majesty Of the nation and the
government, one TO whom the people
can pay homage and reverence, and
who can gracefully bestow decorations
voice the national sentiments and do
the fitting thing on public occasions
then there may be some advantage in
having king to the manor born. But
he should be a sentiment, like our pic
tured Uncle sam or our sculpture OF
the Goddess of Liberty.
