THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Lord Buckmaster, former Lord Cham
cellor of Great Britain, sponsors an IN
teresting proposal with respect to the
national debt of the European nations.
Undoubtedly he meant 1T for the especial
benefit of Germany, which is now facing
a black economic future, with huge war
debt and an even larger indemnity. He
said that if each and every citizen of
these nations assumed fraction Of the
debt proportioned to his own wealth,
whether in the form of savings, real
property or capital invested IN business
enterprise, cancellation of the debt would
work no injury upon any class OF the popu-
lation and would be practicable.
A brief inquiry into the nature of this
proposal with respect to the United
States might be interesting. Our total
wealth is estimated by economists and
financiers at between $500, 1000 ,OO0, 900
and $500, 900 900, 900. Averaging these
estimates, and taking S4O0, ,000, 900 900 as
a working basis, it is found that if the
war debt and the national debt, which
total about s25, 900, 600, 900, were re-
distributed on the basis of property hold
ings. the property owners for each 81 900
of savings or property would assume $62
of the burden, on which the interest at
four per cent is S2.46 annhally.-Balti-

Organized Reaping.

Farm hands hired at 81 a day are on
their northward sweep through the wheat
fields. They number 100000, according
to word from the Department of Agri-
culture, which organized them. The
picture of an army of workers making
its drive Systematically, speedily and
thoroughly and laying low and gathering
in the unresisting, tawny ranks OF the
grain comes welcome to the minds eye.
Nav it replace forever that of the brutal
and dreaded vagabonds, carriers of WV
cards and incendiary matches, who have
tvrannized over the crop area increasing
" of late years.
No doubt il the golden age Of private
initiative had lasted till now VIC should
have harvest king" as we have had
monarchs of steel, rail and oil; he would
have organized an army of reapers to
comb the wheat fields, before now, and
incidentally would have reaped millions,
well repaid for himself. But the pres
ent time has put limits upon such private
activity. 1t rests therefore with the
government to undertake service that it
dscourages individual enterprise from

THE MILLS OF THE GODS.

Few tears will be shed, even IN Ger
many, over the tragic end of Prince
Joachim, the youngest son of the deposed
German Emperor. He was not the kind
Of princeling who becomes a popular Idol
either in prosperity or misfortune, though
during the war patriotic effort WAS made
10 invest him with heroic glory A moral
weaklinq. he was not fit to live mans
life. and debauchery and despair opened
what seemed TO him the only avenue of
escape-the black door of self-destruc-
tIon.
In spite of the pitiful character OF this
wretched offspring of disastrous royalty
there is a tragedy back of his act which
was not Of his making. 1t Is the old IN
exorable law of the sins of the fathers. In
this case, as In many others, the suns
come back from the children, Ii a
boomerang, and smite the guilty progeni-
tor too. No need, it would seem, for the
Allies to devise punishment for the former
Emperor. Fate or Providence has taken
charge of that. For the unhappy mother,
innocent of all responsibility for the dread

Wilson and Cox in Accord.


There will he considerable disappoint-
mcnt in the camps of Republicans over
the accord of President Wilson and his
probable successor in the White House.
Governor Cox, after his first conference
with the President, has stated: You
may say for me that am heartily IN favor
of the League of Nations and for President
Wilson's conception of 1T.
President Wilson affirmed Governor
Cox's stand on the League and declared
the Democratic nominee els ready IN
every respect to be the champion of the
honor of the nation and secure the peace
Of the world
The statement that Governor Cox and
the President were far apart on the league,
the issue of the campaign, is thus quickly
disposed of and in the way that will bring
disappointment to VIII II. Hays and the
lesser guiding stars of the Republican
campaign.
President Wilson's conception of the
League of Nations is the issue that IL to
be met; it is the issue forced upon the
Republican party and one that its leaders
cannot dodge in any possible way, and
Hardings request for Cox's stand on the
covenant is thus answered in the state
mcnt that he is one with the President
and the Democratic platform.

NOT LIKELY TO RUN INTO War.

Editor Every Evening The New 70 X
Tribune of today insists, editorially "a It
Mr.. Wilson's distinction between NSA
obligation and moral obligation with 7, isfs
enee 10 our relations 10 the League Of
Nations can not be defended either by
him or by Governor Cox IL the latter
accepts Mr.. Wilson's view. Let us look
at II for q moment.
Not in the most ardent advocate Of our
entering the late world war could say
that we were under any legal obligation
TO do so. but it WAS held by many from
August, Igla that we should be under a
moral obligation 10 do so should We be
needed by the Entente, and il was pre-
cisely the pretty general sense OF that
moral obligation which finally made ,ls
n participant in the fighting. In other
words VIC recognized our moral ohlign-
tion, VIC saw our duty TO help save tho
world from the domination of hateful
military monarchy, and We did it. though
we might have shamed ourselves by de-
clining to fulfill the obligation.
Now when we enter the League Of
Nations We shall openly assume the moral
obligation, which would be ours in any
event, 10 help maintain the pence of the
world, to protect small nations i'm their
autonomy, but we all realize that the open
assumption Of that moral obligation can
not take from Congress the war-rnakips
power embedded in the Constitution. We
shall still hnve the choice of doing our
duty or Sinking it. but it is far from
probable that we shall find Congress un-
willing To authorize the use of our arms in
the service of the world should aggression
again threaten the free peoples. II IS
l. u
tion by n solemn covenant with all the
nations. and il is highly improbable that
We shall find ourselves at,war with any
body as consequence of our joining a
League the primary object of which is the
maintenance Of international peace.

Street Signs Needed.

r. r. Rutherford, after passing through
Wilmington, probably in his car, has
written to the kiwanis Club urging il
to insist that our city officials erect street
signs so that one can find his way about
without compass The suggestion calls
attenEon to one Of the needs Of the city.
Many of the streets are not marked at
many cross points and it is extremely
difficult for a stranger to find ms way.
Another difficulty that confronts one who
is unacquainted in Wilmington, is the
impossibilitv of finding the number of
houses after dark. Many of them are
numbered so that the figures cannot be
seen or read after nightfall, the time when
they are needed most. 1t has been the
habit to number many Of the porches of
houses or to put the figures in dark place
on the front door instead OF in the tran
som where they could be illuminated.
To find either the street or the house
number sought here is almost impossible
at night and we trust our wide awake
Kiwanis friends will act upon the sugges-
tion of Mr. Rutherford.

Whatever may be the outcome of the
big yacht race we must hail Sir Thomas
Upton as a sportsman. He not only
insisted upon sailing over again the race
be won because of mishap to the Ameri-
can boat, but he has already declared if
he is beaten he intends TO challenge
again. Upton is an inspiration as a
loser. Perhaps he finds the kisses be-
slowed upon him by American girls as
compensation for his defeats on the water.

All hail, Sir Thomas Upton, If America
must lose the yachting cup we would rather
surrender it to such an ail-round fair
sport than to any other of your country
men who have tried to 'hft" it. You are
a sport for sports sake. You SAID if your
Shamrock ever had the good fortune
to strike a stiff sailing breeze that she
would show herself to be very fast. Right
you arel We still, however, hold to the
frmly-rooted notion that the American
boat and American shippers are the
better, and Sir Thomas, good sport that
you are, we shall hope to convince you
of both these claims when the Shamrock
and the Resolute meet today.

this is welcome information, but it is
rather too early to be dependable for the
weather conditions have the last say in
the matter A succession of heavy rains
would affect the quail in the nests or in
the covey for they are still very small.
Let us hope, however, that they may hatch
in large numbers and escape all the perils
of rain and foods, and likewise of the
hunters guns They are too valuable an
aid to the farmer to be employed as
