TRYING The KAISER

Tn the WHCle Inc Banner De leVeS
that Holland Is correct in refusing TO
give up the kaiser for trial by his
enemies. 1t is impossible for a
beaten leader to get fair trial by his
enemies.
Anyone who is reader Of history
viii call TO mind the burning a the
stake of Joan of Arc by the English
and their French allies. OF course
that occurred 500 years ago when
tho world was trifie more savage
than now but the fact that the fines.
and purest character in history was
martyred without reason or excuse
should make the word hesitate abou.
leaving the trial of any man wholly
to his enemies. Commenting on this
issue the Burlington News says;
From Washington comes tho report
that our own secretary of safe is in
full sympathy with Holland in its re-
fusal to yield up the Kaiser in ac-
cordance with the demands of the
Allies
This is probably true as Mr..
Lansing has, from tho first beer
strongly opposed to the trial OF the
Kaiser as having no precedent In
international law and nc just basis
from g legal standpoint.
Holland evidently has talSn the
stand that she is right in maintaining
herself as an asylum for poll ical
prisoners a% we find that her atti-
tude is justified by some intelligent
students Of international affairs
That as it may, 1t seems tina. we
may attach too much importance to
the fate of the Kaiser. Possibly
establishment, disappointment, and
despair eating a. the heart or this
ambitious and unscrupulous man may
serve more effectively than more ma
terial punishment
With his dynasty fallen. his hopes
and p ans and dreams made impos-
sible, his future thing OF dread we
may wei leave this unfortunate to
his own bitter reffec ions
Mental torture is prolific in its
stings and who can vision the de.
jected resident CT a lonely castle IN
Holland sadly visioning the wreck
that he has made of life without feel.
ing hat the law of compensation has
worked out to a definite and salts
factory end If William never suffers
under the law.
The so itary ignominy that has
marked the end of this vain creature
is not alone punishment but q
warning as we'll to those who would
tread in his footsteps.

The Chicago Tribune takes issue
with Secretary Merediths comparl-
son between the price paid the pro-
Queer and that obtained for the
same product by the so-called
middieman. While 1t confeeses that
there is a good deal to be said"
from the secretary's point OF view II
argues:
When the farmer complains be-
cause half the price paid by the con-
sumner Is absorbed by the middleman,
he may be leaving cut Of account the
legitimate cost OF the middleman's
service. A producer can not expect
to be paid the same price for
quart OF milk on his farm thirty
miles from the city that Is paid for
II at the door OF fat IN the city.
The consumer can't go out TO the
farmer. The farmer does not come
in with his product TO the consumer
A very complicated and expensive
machinery does the service of bring
ing the farmers product 10 the con-
sumner, and IT is service that is not
only necessary but profitable TO both
producer and consumer
Somewhere between the farm and
the consumer products take on a
very considerable added cost. There
are Of course many reasons for this
in our division of labor, transporta-
ton charges, handling, cost of doing
business, profits, etc. There are many
middlemen thru whose hands the
milk from the cowhouse, and the
hogs from the hog pens pass before
they come back TO the consumer.
Just where and how the added costs
accumulate is matter to be
thoroughly traced and questioned.
1t IS not a conclusion that may be
jumped at.
The farmer himself has become a
consumer as we'll as a producer, We
all demand service nowadays. The
man who raises a hog buys a ham
certified from packing house where
the hog has been transported over
many miles OF railway and from
whence the ham has been sent ba"k
to the farm. The milk that used to
be set" in the big tin pans Of our
day, SKINNED with a tin skinner
in the cool cellar and churned with
the old fashioned churn goes By
wagon and rail on its Journey 20

wrapped in bricks to the table, very

| We incline always to call for the

mon inclination Is to estimate the
. price OF service at the minimum.
( That's because we are all human
So long as We remain human we
shall strive 10 sell on the high mar
ket and buy on the low, whether We
sell products or service.
While we are human we shall al
ways see our Job as the hardest and

sirabls.

for what IL Is worth no more
and II appears 10 be difficult
to shift labor and responsibility from
shoulders unfit to bear them by
reason of physical or mental inca

the present allegations and details OF
Mr.. Wilson's condition and looking
forward to future possibilities some
thing should be done To cover this
seeming hiatus In the laws governing
and providing for such succession
whether or not temporary. The
question seems to be upon the

president TO carry on the strenuous
duties of the executive and which
may be infinitely important to the
nation because OF emergency and eN-

Some board or body must decide and
that duty Of decision appears to rest
nowhere.
That partisan congress is not
satisfactorily to be to De given such
power seems TO be evident,
So the suggestion Is that the
supreme court shall sit upon and
decide the question should it arise,
So far that looks TO be the best
proposition yet offered, tho, supreme
justices are not always free from
craftsmanship or forgetrul OF personal

the decision OF such a body, hearing
