been good deal discounted during
the years that have passed since Bis
marcks death. 1t is sufficient here to
say that in predicting with uncanny
preseience the European war of 1914
1918, the old chancellor lays the blame
for that calamity on Williams Shout
ders, inasmuch as William deliberately
reversed Bismarck's policy for steady
friendship with Russia and brought
matters to- suehp'a pass that Russia
had no other resource than to ally it
self with France He draws a delight
fully caustic picture of William Il
the inheritor of every fault and weak
ness that was to be found among his
ancestors, and Of none of their strong
or virtuous qualities. He dwells on
the vanity, the stubbornness, the SEN
timentality, the uncontrolled ambition,
the theatricalism and folly of the kai-
ser and warns the Germans that he
will prove the evil genius of the en-
pire. 1t is a malicious piece of work;
no wonder the kaiser moved heaven
and earth to keep it out Of print. But
though the hurt pride of the writer
is apparent enough, the essential cor
rectness of the picture he drew is ap-
parent, too. The years have justified
Bismarck and condemned William.
Each had his faults, but when all is
said one was a great statesman, the
other a romantic and ostentacious
weakling.

The merchant was objecting. "No",

for an advertisement, "your space

percentage that'll justify me in adj

suits. ] guess III pass it up for

"Have you anything in this store
that you really want to sell and can
make an attractive price on?" asked
the advertising solicitor.

"I've got some new aluminium ware !

The ,ad was written, giving day and
date for a special sale. The day and
date of sale being display and the
body of the ad being machine set, the
printer through mistake failed to
include the day and date.
Early next morning the merchant
rang up the newspaper office. whats
the matter with you folks?" he in.
quired. They've been calling up here
since day break wanting to know what

CONFISCATING EVERYTHING


The federal supreme court rules
that under the Volstead law an auto
mobile used for illegal transportation
Of liquor is subject to confiscation ev-
en- though it has been bought on cred
it and only partly paid for. The equi-
ty of the creditor in this case is de-
stroyed by the unlawful use of the
vehicle. Council for the appellants in
this case suggested in their argument
that under this principle, which was
supported by the government, a pull
man railway car could be confiscated
because a passenger had carried q
pint flask of whiskey in his pocket,
and steamship could be confiscated
if package Of liquor had been snug
gled on board and the company had
innocently been made the transporta-
ton agent. In its decision the court
mentioned this illustrative argument,
but said that it was not called on to
decide that particular point in con-
nection with this case.
The illustrations used appear to be
very pertinent. Any number of others
might be used. For instance, a man
sells farm on partial payments. The
buyer takes possession and without
the knowledge Of the mortgage starts
up still and goes into the moonshine
business. The mortgage is no more
responsible for the use to which the
farm is being put than is the mort
gage who holds a claim against an
automobile responsible for the use of
the car. If the car can be confiscated
and the property interest of the cred
itor destroyed, why cannot the farm
be confiscated and the equity Of the
creditor cancelled?
If this is the correct principle Of
law, and is to be generally recognized,
credit will be at an end. 1t is obvious
ly impossible for the mortgage t.
stand guard over the property which
is pledged to him as security for in
debtedncss, and without standing
guard he cannot know at what mo-
ment the owner may use it illegally
If it is so used, his security is de-
stroyed. .,
| In the particular case of the auto
mobile, it will no longer be safe for
dealer to sell car on credit. That
this ruling will end the sale of auto
mobiles on part credit is not be be
expected. 1t will result in more
careful scrutiny of the character of
the purchaser which in itself is not a
bad thing. But with all the scrutiny
that can be piven there will be an ele-
ment of additional risk against which
no forethought can provide. That
risk must be taken into account in yne
transaction of business, and ultimate
ly, as in all other cases, the burden of
carrying the risk will fall on those
consumers who actually paw their
bills.
If the court, on further considera-
ton, concludes that it has correctly
interpreted the law, then the law is
in need of amendment, and that at
once.

GERMAN IMPUDENCE

Berlin, Jan. 30.-The Paris Confer
ence 'resolved itself into an aggrega-
ton of pipe-dreamers, doing mental
gymnastics with figures in billions, in
the same manner that the Oriental
seems to delight in a paradise through
opium smoke" says the Berlin Tage-
blatt today in commenting on the de-
cision of the Supreme Council
"For Germany" the newspaper con-
tinues, "the action of the conference
excites only curiosity and certain de-
gree of psychological interest. Ger
many will have the opportunity in
Brussels and London to dissipate
these grandiose pipe-dreams. If these
fine, fanciful dreamers want to find us
a willing payer they should come
down from the clouds and put their
feet on earth again."

BISMARCK AND WILLIAM ii

The famous quarrel between Will
liam II OF. Germany and Prince Bis
marck is one of the landmarks of Eu-
ropean history. From the moment
when the young emperor dismissed
his aged chancellor, the foreign pol
icy of Germany changed, and those
events were set in train that led to
the Great War.
In his last years Prince Bismarck
wrote his memoirs: the story of long
life, more than forty years of which
were passed in the service of the
Prussian royal house. Two volumes
were published after his death, and
they are interesting reading. The
third, which deals mostly with the re-
lations between William ii and the
chancellor, and which gives in frank
language the old statesman's judg-
ment of the former kaiser, has never
yet appeared in Germany, although
hundred thousand copies Of the
book are printed and lying in the pub
lisher's warehouse. During Williams
reign his commands were sufficient to
keep the bool; hidden, for Bismarck's
son was mere interested to stand well
at court than to see his fathers side
of the quarrel set before the world. It
is probable that the kaiser would
have succeeded in getting the work
destroyed altogether if Bismarck had
not shrewdly deposited one copy OF
the manuscript in the Bank of Eng
land, where it Yves safe from his royal
master. ~
When William fled to Holland the
long suppressed book was put into
type, but even yet the monarchis. in
huences are strong enough to get a
court decision forbiding its publication.
Meanwhile a copy of the book has
leaked out Of its prison and been trans
lated into English. The Germans will
get their first opportunity to listen to
Rismarck's views about William
through the medium Of another Ian
guage. '
The. book will create something OF
n sensstion. though its contents have

THE PLIGHT OF THE TREASURY

More than two years after the end
Of the war we are not yet out of the
woods. 1t is true that we have made
an excellent beginning in paying off
our swollen debt, but the immediate
prospect is not so cheerful. The Sec
rotary Of the Treasury has laid be-
fore Congress the facts in the case.
Our tax system is based on a condi-
ton of active business, high prices
and large incomes. With the change
in the business outlook the revenue is
diminishing great deal faster than
the unnecessary expenses of govern
ment. Mr.. Houston ;nticipates-or at
least fears a deficit of $4,000, 000,-
600 this year and of $1,500,000OOO
next year. We are getting no inter-
est on the $4,000, 900, 900 lent to ouI
allies, and the repayment of the prin-
cipal is far below the horizon of the
future. 1t is proposed to add to the
national expenses a general soldiers
bonus that will amount to nearly or
quite $4,000, 100000, and the resur-
rection of the War Finance Corpora
ton for tie purpose Of granting cred
its to foreign purchasers of American
foodstrtfs would amount, for the pres
ent at least, to collecting in taxation
from citizens of the United States the
face value of tie purchases so made.
There are many arguments advanced
in favor of those and other suggested
expenditures; but no way of getting
the necessary money except through
taxation or by new bond issues has
so far occurred to anyone.
We are not in the dangerous sitda-
ton that many European countries
are in; you can hardly pick UP Eu-
ropean review that does not contain
an article seriously discussing the APP
preaching bankruptcy of this. that or
the other nation, But our condition
is trying enough, We already have
system of taxation more, burdensome
and more inquisitorial than anything
we imagined possible ten years ago,
and we are in no little danger Of find
ing the weight increased rather than
lightened by Congressional action.
Secretary Houston, whether we listen
to him or not, is doing useful thing
in urging ON the nation at large, and
especially on it's Representatives in
Congress, the kind Of economy that
we have almost forgotten row to
practice.
