IF BISMARCK COULD SPEAK

Bismarck used to say that the Hapsburg empire was built
Of bad bricks, but they were held together by German ce-
ment." And finally the cement from Germany gave out and
now there are only 100000 real Austrians left. Would it not
be interesting if old Bismarck could come back and express
his opinion of the gang that has followed him and that has
tried to enlarge upon his ideas and conceptions. The man
who is now the deposed kaiser set Bismarck aside, saying to
the old man that he could rule his own empire. He set out
along new paths, all the time having in mind what he at
tempted to start in 1914, but never with enough ability or
personality to carry it through. He had read and pOndered
that every great Hohenzollern had died leaving the empire
a little larger than it was when he received its dominion,
and he sought to outstrip all the other HohenzoLlerns-to
add to the empire as much as they all together had added to 1T.
After all the apologies have been made for the man who
was kaiser and after he has been all ways acquitted of the
primary blame. it will be found that the things that happened
bad their inception largely in his brain and that along the
ambitious lines we have indicated-to be the greatest of the
Hohenzollerns, which, in his conceit. was equivalent to being
the greatest man in the world, the human being next to God.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

The American Legion is a fact. 1t is the recognized organi-
cation of American veterans of the world war. III is the
embodiment of the desire of every soldier, sailor and marine
to organize after the war.
What does the Legion promise? To express the com
radeship and patriotism of the war; to foster 100 per cent
Amercansm, fighting autOcracy in the classes and the
masses; to safeguard justice, freedom and democracy, law
and order.
It's effect on the disloyal elements of the country and
toward stamping out Bolshevism is beyond praise. 1t is
mobilization continued as the outstanding instrument to trans
late Americas war effort into the work of reconstruction.
They are to keep free from partisan politics, help solve
unemployment or s%traighten soldiers accounts, protest use of
men in uniform to peddle wares, and promote the armistce
convention at Minneapolis i'll November. They urge the
deportation of disloyal aliens and the settlement of soldiers
upon reclaimed land.
y million members by September is the goal of the Ameri-
can Legion. More than 1000 charters already have been
granted to local posts. Born in Paris last March, stimulated
Icy the tentative ST. Louis caucus last May, this society of vet
Grams of the great war has New York national headquarters,
with legal and unemployment bureaus. Its weekly paper was
born on the l43rd anniversary of the Declaration of indie
pendence.
Excepting slackers and conscientious DIRECTORS, any per-
sen in the military or naval service of Uncle Sam during the
Var may join. That means that 100000 soldiers may be
bound together without distinction of rank or service.

PROFITEERS IN CANADA

In Canada they have had some Investigations that are to
count in reducing some of the high prices which nave Dred
discomfort. They found profiteering on a large scale ana III
nearly all lines. They found also that for many OF the price
advances there was no other excuse than that men wanted
to Get rich while the getting was good; that is, III the
shadow of the war, and in the innumerable excuses ina men
are making in the name of that war.
They found that some of their high government officials
were members of corporations that were making from % to
90 per cent profit One cold storage company was making o.
per cent. and it had government officials connected WIN 1t
who believed that that was not unreasonable.
One of the textile factories, that is one OF the factories
tbal make cloth, was earning the snug profit OF 80. per cent,
and this, they were told, was mot unusual either lhe man
who takes wool or cotton and makes it into something else
onobt to double his money as often as he can make the stun
and sell it. But even paying 50 per cent profit-for "hch
price makers really ought to be hanged, they sold the cloth to
make a whole suit of clothes for less than Sl1, but the next
man in the line, the man who made the suit and sold II, got
around 500 for that ST. worth of cloth on which the textile
factory had made a profit of 80 per cent. me, orlslhai ma,

There is going to be a smash unless men learn to be decent
again and learn to take such profits as used to be considered
right and righteous. The place to strike this evil, Tor 1t is
an evil, is where the prices are fixed.

NO ONE-NAN REGULATION

Congress does not feel like letting the secretary OF labor
be the sole Judge of the qualifications of immigrants. That IS
quite right. No one man is entitled to exercise slch powers
over human beings and in a way that may AFFECT the "hole
sation. There might be a socialist or even a seml-ahaIchis'
in that one office some day and he would be a fine man to
sit at the gates where the aliens come through.
In fact we ought to get away from such one man business
all through the government. We have had too much one
manism already. 1t is not safe and 1t is not healthy. This is
a republic and it is not a One-man autocracy. II there is a
board to sit in Judgment with a minority member on it, there
is always a possibility of the public knowing what is going
on for the one man can at least protest and let us know why
ne protests. When there is only one man it will all be done
i'm secret and what is done may not be known to any one. no
matter how bad or rotten it may be.

WORLD POWER OR BUSY-BODY.

we are a world power and we must do our duty to the
world, cries the advocate of internatiOnahsm. But if we are
so much of a world power why should we give up the only
world policy that we have ever asserted, the Monroe doctrine?
Or why should we even besmirch it by calling it a regional
understanding which is the most contemptuous definition of
that doctrine ever conjectured. An enemy seeking to belitue
it could not have given it a worse designation. The old kaiser
III the days of his contempt for others might have so alluded
to it, But for our own congress to fasten such a definition
upon it by official action must be considered the limit of
pussillanimity. Whoever devised that phrase. he was a master
of sarcasm.
So far as being a world power we have always been that,
or at least since Napoleon wished upon us the whole of Louis
lana when we had gone to Paris to buy a trading post from
New France. We Were a world power when we made England
settle for the Alabama claims and when we drove the Austrian
Macmillan out of power in Mexico. We need to give moth
ing that we esteem national to become a world power. The
negotiations in Paris have not made us such a power. We
were that already. The danger is that we may lose the power
and prestige that we have enjoyed in the world and become
merely an annex offthe Balkans of Europe. TO be a world
power does not mean that we have to mingle in every nations
guarrels, that would mean to beA the worlds busybody. It's a
busybody that some would make of us, and the busybody is
not often highly respected. Many flatter us who would use
us for their own ends at the present time, but let us not be the
Let us beware lest we become a world boob.

THE REVOLT AGAINST WORK

After the Civil War an era of rapid expansion and specu-
lation set in. Things ran wild for a time. The country was
H. an expansive mood. There was a fairly prevalent IDEA
that it was possible to prosper without working. Some people
did nrosner that WAY. But the bulk of those who tried it came
to grief.
Tn somewhat the same fashion the world is finding it
hard to settle down after the European war. In Great Britain
and Europe the decentralization is especially marked. Many
persons are content to draw without work benefits from the
governments. 1t is widely held that there is plenty to go
round, even If very little work is done.
Argument on the subject probably doesn't do much good.
II doesn't convince the person who refuses to be convinced.
But nature, the ancient schoolmistress is still on the job. She
teaches by experience. Eventually the demoraized ones will
bump into the fact that it takes work to produce goods and
that a high level of production is necessary for a high level of
prosperity.
That lesson was borne in on people after the civil war
They got to work and conditions returned to normal. Europe
will respond to the same treatment.

THOSE CONSCIENTIOUS HEROES

In Chicago they have an amnesty committee with some
literary ability. They are asking for affcial recognition of
what they called the conscientious DIRECTORS during the war.
They want more than amnesty, they want recognition for
them as the real heroes of the war-those fellows who re-
fused to help win it on the grounds of conscientious scruples.
They dared to write to Secretary Baker along such lines, and
while the secretary, who has been tinged with pacifism, has
shown great consideration for such men-too great in many
cases, in this instance he dared to rebuke them, telling them
that those who merely protested against war were not as
heroic a. those who dared to give their lives to kill the crush
ing materialism which threatened to engulf the world. What
the amnesty committee in Chicago wrote is psychologically at
least interesting. Here is part of it:
You cannot escape the responsibility for the
torture and brutality which have been heaped upon
this group of young men who have held aloft the
torch of idealsm through all the prejudice and hatred
of the war period, who took the first effective step
toward the adjustment of future wars. You must
realize that these men will be the heroes of the
coming generations. Already some of the ablest
writers in England and America are immortalizing
them in literature. Heroism such as theirs cannot be
destroyed by official orders and military discipline"
The heroes OF the coming generations" what an assump-
ton that is for those men who called themselves "conscien-
tious DIRECTORS" but many of whom were simply towards and
slackers who assumed conscientious scruples to cover their
more hideous selves. There may be men who do moi believe
in war. Undoubtedly there are. They are to be respected in
their views, if not honored. But what shall he said of q man
who sees another about to strike him down who will not rise
up to defend himself and his own? And what shall be said
o. a man who throws the burden of such defense unon Others
snarang In the results, but not in the work? And what shall
De SAID oil the men who have the audacity now TO ask for
themselves and their fellows in such states of mind tbe honors
of heroes-the heroes of the war and for all generations to
come?

JAPAN mi

The president is quoted as saying to a company of friends
at the capitol on Thursday that he is not satisfied with the
treaty provision which gives Shantung to Japan. There is
indeed. no reason why she should be satisfied with it; or why
ANYBODY should be satisfied with it outside the Japanese
empire.
Nevertheless MI. Wilson is of the opinion that the "ineyit-
able" compromise agreed to at Paris nowhere cut to the
heart of any principle" How does he square this opinion
with the facts about Shantung?
The president is further represented as expressing con-
fidence that Japan will deal rightly in the final settlement
with China. But what surety is there of this? All is left to
the indefinite future. Japan is expected to return the province
to China some time. When?
