The Posture of a Princeline

The grandiloquent gesture of the
young man who once was Crown
Prince William of Germany may
stir his claque to applause on the
home circuit, but elsewhere it will
provoke only lrreverent smiles. Joke
men will ask why he does not en-
large his offer and proffer his person
as payment in full Of the reparation
bill. And why, if determined to
make himself the universal scape-
goat, he does not start for the Bel
gian frontier at once.
The Allies would no doubt be glad
to try this self-sacrificing parsonage
for his own alleged offenses-among
which rifing chateau of its valu-
able contents might be minor item.
But these charges surely are ample
to cover his case, and when a de-
fendant is so heavily involved in his
own right his generosity in Offering
to surrender on behalf of his friends
is difficult to calculate.
Besides, the Allies are not LOOKING
for scapegoat. If they wished re-
venge or were seeking to satisfy
their hate, one victim might do as
we'll as another. But they are bound
upon neither errand. They ask ius-
tice in the name of outraged law and
humanity, and largely as a warning
to future makers of war that such
crimes cannot be committed with i'm
punity. To execute sentence upon
each and every individual proved
guilty is the only course that will
meet this demand.
There always was something of
the comic valentine about the Crown
Prince. His last effort to pose before
the mirror as hero and a marty,
is not much better than it's pred.

annexed after the war Of 1865.
Parts Of the Rhineland were ac-
quired after the Napoleonic wars.
Alsace- Lorraine, an imperial, not a
Prussian, dependency, was annexed
in 1871.
The German population in these
extensions was Prussianized. But
wherever an alien race had to be
assimilated the Prussian spirit
failed. 1t was non-assimilative be-
cause 1t conceived 1t to be the duty
Of a conquering power not to serve
but to command. Prussia offered
the Poles, the Danes, the Alsatians
and Lorrainers nothing which they
could be persuaded was fair sub
stitute for their own civilization.
Prussian Kultur repelled them as
much as Prussian absolutism.
Germany, aspiring to be an en-
pire, thus lacked the essential i'm
perial quality of attracting subject
races and convincing them Of the
moral superiority Of the conqueror.
Germany might have won the war.
But even if she had won it she
would never have become real en-
pire builder. That masterly quality
didn't exist in the German heart
or mind.
So the alien elements, even though
Incorporated into Germany for half
a century or a century or century
and half, now turn eagerly back
to their own life and their own
ideals.

Get Ready

The intelligent members of the
organizations of railway employees
are not ignorant of the nature and
quality Of the policy their general
officers are pursuing. The railway
men see as clearly as any one else
that it is proposed to intimidate the
public into paying ransom. The gun
is ostentatiously loaded and pointed
with a frankness worthy of RaisuH
or Villa.
The authority under which these
officers act is a strike vote taken
many months ago. To back up the
negotiation plenary power was
lodged with the negotiators, and
the negotiators now threaten a
strike without referring the matter
back to their principals and without
giving the public more time to con-
slider their demands than Austria
gave to Serbia.
Railroad workers are middlemen.
They are not economically self-sus-
tanning, but depend on farmers for
food and on other workers for other
necessaries of life. If railroad
worker may try to starve his fellow
citizens, they may try to starve him.
If he will not aid in the haulage Of
supplies, he may be denied the right
to buy supplies.
Let the railroad men beware of
arousing a feeling which will de-
mand that as they treat others so
they must be treated. The corollary
of the unmoved freight car is the
food shop at which embargo con-
spirators may not purchase. The
project of 100000 holding up
40,000,0O0 is a mad one.
Not only should the Federal gov
ernment mobilize it's powers, but also
every state and municipal govern
ment. There is a call for prepared
ness. This time the stable door
should be locked before the horse is
stolen. Assisting in the work of
preparation should be every civic or
ganization. For the best way to in
sure peace is for the public to show
it is not to be scared or bulldozed.

Trading With Russia

Sir: The following letter has been
sent to the officers of an association
of business men recently formed in
New York to establish trade relations
with Soviet Russia and to urge the
State Department to sanction clear
ances for vessels carrying their ship
ments:
mo more damning illustration is
conceivable of the effect Of the greed
OF that shortsighted capitalism and
business which has condemned them as
criminals at the bar Of public opinion
and keeps alive against them bitter
antagonism than your present anxiety
to trade with Soviet Russia So para
lyzed is your moral sense that. In view
of some immediate gain, you are blind
to the inevitable effect of the 'recopni-
tion' which must follow and the In
dorsement implied Of the abominable
oligarchy called Soviet government
increasing vastly the poisonous flow of
It's anarchistic and monstrous doctrines
and encouraging everywhere the imita-
tors of its bloody practice to over

Lincoln's Economics

Of the many texts Of Lincoln ap-
propriate to the day we select the
following:
Labor is prior to and Independent
of capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor and could never have existed
if labor had not existed. Labor is
the superior or capital and deserves
the highest consideration"
Here is the summing up Of the
economic side of Americanism by the
greatest American. The institutions
Of property and of capitalism exist
only as they prove themselves of
value to the man. The title deeds of
wealth rest on service to all. This
doctrine comes to us from the birth
of the Republics implicit in the
Declaration Of independence.
Lincoln and Marx, how their spirits
contrast! One would build an edifice
Ct cooperation on trust and conf
dence among all men; the other rec
ommends hate and class antagonism
as social binders. One is conserver
and emancipation and the other de-
stroyer and enslaver; one would at
tain social harmony through the free
action of men, the other by regiment
ing them under a regime of force.
Yet between Lincoln and Marx the
world during the next ten years
seems destined to choose.
Capitalism is commonly defended
as a system which secures great per-
sonal reward to exceptional social
service. The charge against it is
that it does not distribute equitably.
But it's rewarding, stimulating and
distributing functions are relatively
unimportant. Its chief value is that
it secures competent command in in
dustry and by it's leadership swells
production. Its next great service is
that it secures great improvements
for the future.
These are it's great services and
Justify it's existence. The abuses of
capitalistic distribution are correct
ible, and likewise it is possible to as
sociate the employed in management,
and thus make men more happy in
their tasks. This is applying Lin
coins principles to the needs of the
hour, and it is peculiarly the privi-
lege of this country to act as school
master to distracted world.
