Ho kept us. out, etc., etc., must be

this war, England unjustly assails Ger

Europe pitches in, Just why would wo
bavo to take sides? Mr. Wilson told his
audience at Shadow Lawn two weeks
ajo that America would only fight in a
fight that was America's. But much
may have happoned In two weeks which
oannot be divulged. It Is necessary to be
In a fighting mood sometimes.

ing state of affairs." But this shocking
state lasted only one day. No ono will
complain that American ships wero
lucky enough to bo of service in saving
noncombatants, Tho U-53 for somo rea
son stopped sinking ships, There have
been several reports that she has been

PROPAGANDA, PROPERTY
AND PROPS
IF A man has somo scheme to revolu
tionize tho world, whether it be Blnglo
tax, socialism or birth control, his bcllot
that he Is tho victim of a p:ot to sup
press him grows In proportion to tho un
popularity of his message. Tho news
papers somehow or'othcr won't hand over
to him their first pages. It's all so slm
plo to him. Just look at ill Tax the land
and not tho buildings, nnd, presto, nil
will bo well. Give tho Government the
railroads and tho wheat Holds, nnd there
you.arei And while you're giving the
Government all posslblo power, why, Just
lake away some of Its power to stop
speeches and tracts on little things like
birth control, inciting to riot, etc.
There's tho rub. Tho propagandists
haven't any tenmwork. Whllo they're
putting ono big prop under tho Govern
ment they're pulling out another. Yet
tho whole mass of their emphatic, pur
poses Is lupipod as Radicalism, .whether
its parts rcfuto each other or not. On
the snmo shelf In tho radical bookshop
ypu will find a treatlsa proving that tho
home, the family and tho children aro
imperiled by property rights, and another
proving that tho homo, tho family and
tho children nren't good things to -havo,
and that divorce nnd nil other decentral
izing llbortarlanlsms should havo full
play. It recalls tho liberal-minded Duke
In Chesterton's play, "Magic." who gave
his contribution to the movement to
closo tho salbons and tho samo amount
to the movement to keep tho saloons
open.
All radicals do not want to lot things
happen. Many of them want thin;
stopped. Tho radicals of various now
froedom twists talk as If tho good great
men of tho world always fight to set
something frco. But what most great
men havo fought for is to stop some
thing. Tho first French Ropubllc. very
clearly fought to stop tho monarchy, and
whllo It dethroned ono god It pitilessly
forced knees to bend to another, Reason.
What Is it that is. to bo sot free dirt,
dust, greed, smoke, disease, lawless de
sires? They'ro freo now. Somo new
teachor will worry becauso tho youth
are not allowed to read her book on sox
and not mind n. bit that a saloon gapes at
every corner to let tho youth go as far
as they like.
About a million men will vote for tho
Socialist candidate next month.
Yet they talk ns If thoy wcro being
suppressed by a conspiracy of silence on
the part of tho newspapers. If a million
men all used one kind of razor, that
razor's sale would grow. Uso Is adver
tisement. So Is belief. Tho nmazlng
thing Is that tho Socialist vote has not
grown more rapidly, slnco Socialists aro
so much more enthusiastic about tholr
party than tho plncld Democrats and 'Re
nubllcans are about" theirs. Tho Bnmo Is
true of thoso who wish to propagate
daring thoughts about sex becauso they
have not the gumption to propagate
families. Tho mere fact that they are
suppressed Is tho best advertisement they
could hope for. Tho point Is that peop!o
and wo havo only tho one kind, of peo
ple In the only world we know of are not
deeply Interested in theso things. They
aro even contont to let property mosey
along under tho old rules.
What peoplo aro Interested In Is the
props. Touch the acid of sudden change
to the delicate skin of their private lives
nnd they cry for laws laws for decency,
laws for Justice, laws for religion, laws
for their property. We aro all mlserablo
bromides and fools, but we nro the only
"we" there Is.,

WHY LAMB IS DEAR
, ! ... !
THE woman who pays thirty cents n
pound for a log of lamb is moro In
terested than the farmers or tho woolen
mill owners In tho efforts making in this
State to encourage sheep raising.
It was agreed at tho meoting In Har
rlsburg this week that sheep raising
could not prospor until better laws wpro
passed for tho protection of tho animals
from dogs. If sheep raising cannot
prosper, the prlco of lamb ond mutton
will continue to rise until only tho rich
can afford to eat it.
There aro fowor sheop In tho country
today than thoro were six yoars ago,
though the population has increased
8,000,000 in that time. Tho rapid rise in
the value of sheep is due to the Increased
demand. In 1890, when the country had
only 03.000,000 population, there were
44,300,000 sheep on the farms valued at;
about $2.20 a head. Tho population in
creased to 02,000.000 in 1910, or nearly
fifty per cent, but tho numbor of sheep
increased to only 67,C00,000, or less than
thirty per cent This tlioitngo in the
supply mode the sheep worth M a head.
At tho beginning of tho present year the
number of sheep had fallen to 49,100,000,
worth tS-lS each, while tho estimated
population of the country )s 100,000,000,
When therfwero 44,300,000 sheep to jtced
8,W,e irtopie lamb waa cheap. When
there are 4,IQ0,000 sheep to feed 100,

A Ghost
Tears ago maybe twenty-five I lived
In a small town, and that town had its
famous character. Ho was very old, he
was very rich, had foUBht all through the
Civil War and had been a daredevil, cour
ageous, but a severe and heartless com
mander, 116 lived on raw whisky and
little else, but he carried ,hls liquor well,
Ills noso was large naturally, and Its size
had been increased enormously. Its smooth
ness entirely eliminated nnd Its color gor
geously enriched by tho drink he had con
sumed. His whiskers were gray, rather
than white, notwithstanding his great age,
and he was proud of their great Bite, and
curled and brushed them carefully. Ills
eyes wero iindlmmed, though tho lids had
sagged a bit under his enormous eyebrows,
ills hat was always a large gray felt,
tilted a bit; his collar low, and his tlo of
the flowing sort commonly worn by .artists,
His frock coat was always with him and
always open, showing his white waistcoat;
his trousers always uncrossed, always full
and always a black and white check. He
had no family, living alone except for his
housekeeper, who was generally supposed
to bo no better than she should bethough
I am Inclined to think the matter unwar
ranted scandal.
He drove two horses, so old that we
were told they had been In the war with
him. as had his ncgrq coachman. It was
said that at each election he led the darky
to the polls and made him vote the utrnlcht
Itepubllcan ticket at tho point of a pistol.
but I think that must have been a boy's
tale,
We were terribly afraid of him. We
always crossed the street when we passed
his house, and It we saw him coming we
hid behind hedges or ran away. He never
did anything to us; perhaps It waa. his
flery aspect pr the huge walking stick be
carried that frightened us those and the
stories' we had heard ot him.
He sled, and we all 'stood round the
chttrefc api were terribly plesssd that some
one had licked the eld raaoal at last.

LONDON, Oct. 13. The 'fact that Eng
land will not be able to throttle dermany
after tho war Is one of the most compelling
reasons for continuing the war until that
process will be unnecessary, T am balked
by tho fact that tho men In England who
say the most Important things are the men
whoso names must not bo given. But, even
If tho following were not said by a man
widely known ns a scholar arid historian,
and now mnklng a fine name for himself In
another Held, It would be worth thinking
about. We wero talking about a "war after
the war" when he said:
"It's all rubbish. There has never been
a peace in Europe which was not a peace.
When this peace comes the war will not be
continued. That is why it must mean some
thing when pence does come. Germany will
have to see that England was not trying
to encircle her' with enemies. And the rest
of Europe must be free of the menace of
a commerce which Is only a pretext for In
terference and espionage, and must be freo
of the threat of militarism, That Is all.
As for war after the war, it Is a contra
diction in terms. It Blmply won't happen."
He went so far as to believe that thero
would not even be a reform of the present
system or Tree trade.
How about tho man In the street? To bo
sure, he couldn't insist with any effect on
peace being made today, but If he wanted It
badly enough he could give the Minister for
War and the Secretary for State and nil
the other "guns" a very unpleasant quarter
of an hour. The truth Is that he doesn't
count beyond ten. The man who counts Is
the man at the front, and by a paradox
which Isn't so strange as It sounds, the man
who counts Is the moat unaccountable per
son In .England today. He doesn't talk
about war as a whole. He talks, about his
little bit. But If there Is one thing sure,
it Is that he wants to see It through. If
he has children, or younger brohcrs, or
friends not in service now, he wants, pas
sionately and fiercely, that this thing shall
not come to them. He will be the greatest
force for world peace for a generation to
come.
FOn PEACE THAT WILIj LAST
There are others who are not to be for
gotten. What do they think who lost their
nearest loved or their familiar friends,
their closest ties with life,' since the war
began? It must be remembered that the
number has grown disproportionately since
July, 'What they think Is certain to be
Bad. nut It Is not necessarily, a factor for
peace, in many cases tnere is resentment,
In many such a. numbness of feeling that
thore la no thought ot tho war at all, Hut
the inspiring thing can be found, for ex
ample, in the letters written by simple folk
to the nurses who have tho sorrowful duty
ot announcing a son's death. Simple folk
who h4ve not been Jingoes, who are not
Intereatjed In foregn trade, who havo never
heard of the balance of power. They are
not putting pretentious notices In the
Times. They have nothing to hope for
as consolation, Hut they write that they
can bear their loss because they know that
it means peace In-the end which shall last.
It Is not to tho British empire that they
give their sons, but to the world. In a
fine way they, too, are thinking of the bal
ance In the, ledger book. They have put
in so much of a priceless store. They
'know that they will never get It back, Hut
they know tnat wnen tne dooks are made
up there will be something priceless on
the other side.

dog. Wo lalk of the bulldog's grip. But
when wo seo It in action wo hardly recog
nize It. , This is a proud bulldog. He flew
at tho invader nnd took a hold which was
nearly shaken off at Mons. .Many times
later hjs pip relaxed a bit nnd the gray
clad leg nlmost was snatched nway from his
Jaws, Onco. at the Dardanelles, there was
a terrifying moment when the bulldog
seemed to be kicked unconscious. Those
tilings nro not forgotten. If there are to
no some vlclbUs snaps, some added worry
ing of tho Invader, It will not bo hard to
seo the reason why.
A TWENTY-ONE-INCII QUNT
"We havo a. twenty-one-inch gun with a
projectile weighing one ton, and standing
six feet high," said a man who has prob
ably never been In n munition factory in his
life. I did not ask hltn how he knew. Every
body In England knows a great many things
which no one Is supposed to know, and
most of It Isn't so. What I asked was,
"Why flro that gun If It Isn't absolutely
necessary?" He threw mo a fantastlo pic
ture of a Zeppelin, brought down two days
before near London. "It'll stop this,, for
ever,". he said, and' he meant It. You can
hardly talk peace ngalmit the noise of Zep
pelin bombs. You couldn't read n peace
speech by the light of tho antl-Zepp sky
sweepers. The saddest mix-up In psychology
so far fs tho Herman belief that sho can
terrify England Into making peace.
All of the things mentioned so far, tho
desire to take nway Germany's power for
peace or war, the determination to restore
England to her former rank nnd prestige,
the stirring of England's power and her
pride, the Question of the moral and mn-
terlal expense book, tho belief that tho war
will actually end with a real peace and the
commence in j-.ngiana s new methods of
warfare, are behind the Cabinet, and the
Cabinet Is lucky because It wants certain
things which It cannot get without Ger
many not oply defeated, but brought to her
senses by a good long look in tho face of
annihilation. The things I havo mentioned,
are none of them olllclal. They are what
Drltons aro deeply thinking and quite freely
saying, In many cases. They are making It
smooth sailing for the rulers ot the En
tente's destiny. They nre making-It likely
that the terms of ponce will be interesting,
CONTROL OP THE SEA
The only things England wants, apart
from the doslres bf her Allies, are peace and
tho sea. Sho wants few crises and no wars.
She wants peace to settle domestic affairs
and peace to restore her shattered industrial
system, (Not physically shattered, nor even
weakened. Out dislocated.) And she wants
the sea because, from this time on, her em
pire is going to be something much more
real than it has been in the past, and the
sea is her traffic lane, from one dominion
to another. It la not slmnlv a. nucmtlnn nt
blockading England, or cutting off her wheat
supply, ii is n question or a tnreat ever
being made against the unity of the em
pire. The sea must bo England's. Just
bow that is going to be. expressed In the
treaty of peace does not matter. But If the
war ends with England top dog, it will be
clearly understood that she was not beaten
in the Jutland battler and hai no Intention
ot being beaten. And the sea Is esfentlally
the home of a defensive arm,' hot aggres

Bond Dealers
C. Ij. a. As for "the way bond dealers
get In on the ground floor to make a profit
when they resell bonds," syndicates are
usually formed by bankers, who take all the
bonds from a corporation and guarantee
to pay the Issuers a certain amount. Then
they take the-lssue over and figure their
profit and fix a prlco at which It Is sold
to the public. Hankers who engage In these
transactions gain 'recognition through hav
ing earned the confidence ot the; public and
of other business 'men. Every undertaking
requires good character and known ability,
and the same rule applies to theso transac
tions. A person whom you describe as hav
ing limited capital could buy the. bonds and
sell them agaln It he was nbta to do so.
If he acquires enough capital to become a
broker he can acquire recognition In prder
to deal In bonds orily through gaining pub
lic confidence, Information which you seek
on this matter should be available at the
offices of reputable brokers, Information
about bond Issues about to bo placed on the
market almost always appears In the news
papers and notices are posted In brokers'
offices.
