marines. The German press has set up
a loud protest that Premier BRANDS
addres is full of misrepresentation
that Germany has no thought of war;
that she has no organization available
for war; that she is being held down
so tightly that she could do nothing il
she wanted to-. And the British press
has set up a similar note Of suspicion,
throwing out the idea that France
wants a powerful fleet Of submarines
against the time when she might find
it convenient to attack England with a
view to making herself master of Eu-
rope, American statesmen have un-
dertaken to assure France that Amer

her against unwarranted German as-
gression, and Great Britain desires II
understood that she also can be de-
pended upon to act as she has acted
heretofore, making it unnecessary for
France to assume that upon her
shoulders rests the whole burden OF
preserving the peace of Europe.

Flirtinu With Justice.

The postponement Of the trial Of the
cases against Zimmerman and Mrs
Huggins is significant mainly as one
of those incidents which tend TO des-
troy public respect for the law as a
vindicatOr Of justice.
There was no irregularity in the
procedure probably. AS a matter OF
due process" it was ALI right; but as
to subscribing the ends of justice, that
is another matter.
We are told that these defendants
are poor Sure; but if being poor'is
an excuse for murder, why have trial
about it ut all.
We are told that these defendants
were forced to trial on such short
notice and there was a conviction, the
supreme court would set aside the
verdict Yes, that is 50; but what
Justice would there be in that?
We are told that were these defend
ants foGed to trial on such short
when Il midnight murder is committed
in Il law-abiding community, is il
wrong that the people should get as
much information about it as possi-
BILE? Is the fact that the public knows
more on less about the case any reason
why trial should be postponed? Or is
murder Il little private snap betwecr
the murderer and the victim, with
which the pubic has no business!
We are told that these defendants
have no money. That is probably true
and on that account they are in u bad
way, for unless they can get up some
pretty good money between now and
the next term of the court, they are not
going TO have much more defense than
they have now.
What the solicitor says about having
all his witnesses in hand now or enough
of them TO prove his case, while il
there is poStponcmcnt, it may be diff
ficult to get these witnesses together
again, is decidedly in favor Of the de-
PENDANTS. 1t, however, suggests, that
although if the defendants are guilty
now they will be just as guilty next
spring; but because it may not be prac-
ticablc to prove their guilt as readily
next spring as it is now, they may cs-
cape.
Since, as the public sees il, the mur-
dcrcd man did not deserve much sym
pathy anyway, there is no excitement
on this mattcr-Only IL considerable
amount of popular disapproval-if the
murdered man had better claims OF
public sympathy the public would like
~ be more dcmonstrativc, TO say the
least of it.
While the proceedings are regular
enough, there is cause for regret thaI
regular proceedings should not have
more regard for the ends Of Justice
the protection OF the public as well a.
the comfort of the defendants.

We are glad to print the letter OF
Tax Commissioner Derham in another
column setting forth fuller analysis
of the York COUNTY tax figures as pub
lished in Tuesdays issue of The York
vile Enquirer. While there is no
question Of the fact that there has
been progressing increase in the
amount Of the levies as well as OF
taxable property since 1905; the bulk
ofNhe increased taxes has gone for
local rather than for state purposes,
and also by far the greater part Of this
increase has come about through the
voluntary action of local taxpayers
There is no desire TO deny these facts;
but it is important that they be called
to public attention from time TO time
for otherwise there is danger of mis-
leading confusion.

Speaking Of Russia, II. G. Wells calls
attention to the fact that If 1t mad not
been for the valor and sacrifices of the
Russians in the early years Of the war,
Germany would have overrun France
and swept the little British army into
the sea before the World war was a
year old. Russia prevented the con-
Quest of Europe in the beginning, just
as the United States did in the end, and
the cost to Russia in lives was many
times the cost to the United States.
But now that Russia is making gov
ernmental experiments that we don
like, we have absolutely no sc lor

1t is beginning to look like the staid
old Congressional Record is badly in
need of ANOTHER editor. For many
wears this publication has been unique
il several particulars. For oUe thing
it has been the only daily paper in
America that has been able to exist
without advertising. For another
thing it has been the most privileged
publication in America, privileged to
publish whatever came it's way without
responsibility to anybody and privi-
legged to go through the mails toll free.
The sole purpose Of the Congressional
Record was to give the facts about all
happenings in the house and senate,
what the members said and what they
did. mainly for the benefit Of the mem
bers but also for the public. The the
ory was that the Record would not
only tell the whole story, but it would
tell that story in such way that there
could be no question as to its accuracy.
But the Congressional Record seems to
be losing its reputation. Three times
within the last month it las beel nec-
essary to eXpunge from its pages a
faithful record of its proceedings All
unknown To the house, Congressman
BlantOn got in some stuff that was aft
erward declared indecent 1t does not
appear in the permanent volumes
Then last Monday Senators Watson oil
Georgia ard Williams Of Mississippi
said some hard things Of each other
and no sooner had an end come to then
quarrel than it was decid I'd to leave ii
all out Of the Record, even without
ANYTHING TO show that it had ever oc-
Cured. Next comes Senator Reed OF
Missouri, and requests that certain
things he said Of Mr. Volstead last Au-
gust he blOttcd out forever. They cal
the Congressional Record n dry old
publication; but in the light of recen,
developments it does not appear to be
so terribly dry after all. But the worst
part of it is that the Old publication Is
losing it's reputation for ipexorubie
truth. and that is a pity; because after
all, if the Record is not true, what is ii
worth? Yes, the Record seems to need
an editor, but in view of known. facts
no competent man who knows his bus
mess would dare take the job, for since
it has come to the point where the
members shy at the everlasting truth
no real editor could ever be certain
where he is at"

We would like to see disarmament
and we would like to see peace; but
we have very little hopes of either. The
United States is great broad ana
charitable. 1t is not afraid; but II the
United States were less powerful, we
are afraid it would be exhibiting less
faith. With the distribution of Ger
man miltarism, France is the most
powerful country in Europe on land.
She is probably willing to junk part
of her surplus war strength; but she
is not going to bring it down on
equality with the others. She can
easily make herself as Objectionable to
the balance of Europe as Germany has
been and she is just as apt to do it.
Even England is now dubious of the
power of the French. The United
States sees a possibility, aye, even Il
probability of war with Japan, and that
il seeks TO avcrt\ There may be some
good understandings at the armament
conference; but they will be only tenn
porary. There will be other wars
within the next twenty on thirty years,
if not before and sooner OF later there
will be world wars that will be more
ruinous even than was the last great
war.

Premier BRAND, of France, mas
stirred things up by Il great speech at
the disarmament conference the other
day. 1t was for the especial purpose
OF making this speech that he came TO
America. The burden Of the speech
was TO show that since the peace OF
Europe oepcnds upon France, France
must be in Il position To handle the
situation when the necessity comes
upon her, He represented Germany as
potentially as well organized us she
has ever been and claimed that the
question of arms was one that Ger
many could easily solve when Sh"
feels that the time is ripe. lie also
pointed out that Russia could raise an
army Of many millions and represent
ed Germany as being able to mobilize
all the power of Russia in the prose-
cution Of German plans. lie claimed
that the Germans do not consider that
they have been conquered; but are
merely waiting a favorable opportunity
To renew the war. He admitted that
the present government of Germany is
peaceful enough: but he claimed that
it is weak and only temporary affair
To he swept aside whenever the mill
tary crowd gets ready. II" also sharp

HERE'S HOW TO MAKE GOOD
SEXONIETER FOR ONLY 10 CTS.

Lyndon poultrymen who have been
reading about the new devices that
will tell the sex of the chick in the
egg, will be interested in the discov
cry of Ripon, Cal. man, as told i'll
the Pacific Poultryman this month,
as follows:
MIR. Preshaw says that 70" ten
cents one of these sexometers can be
made that is just as efficient as the
ones made in Germany and being
sold in this country for IS apiece.
With this little device, he says, you
can tell the sex of anything alive,
the SEX and fertility of eggs, the vi
taliity of bulb roots and grains. He
says he wants to pass this informa-
ton along to the poultry breeders
without cost, as he thinks everyone
should know about it, and as its use
will save the poultry industry many
dollars wasted every year by trying
to hatch infertile eggs. He claims
that the fertile eggs can be separated
fr om the infertile ones and will also
tell whether the eggs will hatch a
rooster or a pullet.
"Its mechanism is very simple, re-
quiring only silver dime and a
piece of common sewing thread about
six inches long which is fastened to
