Fortunately the Senate is not to be Judged by Its Woiks. Senator Underwood is lifter tho farmers' vote He has urged it lax of two cents a pound mi all oleomargarine to lncieaso the revenue. - The sURKestlon that Mr. ISryan be Interned is a pood one. but all that is needed could be accomplished if ho were .tqulpped with a Maxim silencer. While every one is hoplnc fni the best, ho is also hoping that the Govern ment Is and has loni: be"n uslni; Its ut most endeavors to prepaie for the worst. Senator Vare nppaiently thinks tli" Governor may exercise the .irae ills eretion In the-use of the contingent fund fts In the disposal of cumpuiRii contribu tions. If any one is anxious to know the xact amount of tho city's ptc-ent bor rowing capacity, he .should consult the last guess of Hie Conti oiler, or 11 dream book, or something. T ,i The thermometer at th Kaiser's Potsdam observntory registered twenty - X six degrees below zero, I'ahtenhelt. tho night after Hernstorff not his wulklng papers. But the Allies felt wntm when they heard from Washington. Government reports show that ln the eleven months ending last November the quantity of anthracite linuled over thirteen of the leading eastern inllroads for sale to the public exceeded b 1.197, 28 tons the quantity hauled by the same roads In the corresponding months of 1915, and yet one of the stock arguments of dealers for inlsing their prices is de creased output nt the mines. The Slayor and his advisers are aid to believe that the financial con dition in which the city finds itself will not permit the erection of the Conven tion Hall in the immediate futuie. It inay be that It is prudent In the present national crisis to delay final action, but It should not be forgotten that a conven tion hall would be one of tho most profit able ln"estments in which the publlo money could be placed. It would cam for tho city each year many times the In terest on Its cost. Even If war should come, conventions will still be held, and they will go to the cities which have proper accommodations taf them. A dec laratlon of war would be followed by such an excess of active patriotism that con ventions would be In a mood to come to the city In which tho American Govern ment was started. In our planning for the future we should not forget this big fact. The President, In deciding that merchant ships should not bo convoyed, takes the stand that the presence of war craft In foreign waters would weaken tha force of his statement to Congress that ho could not bring himself to believe tho German Government would carry out Its threat. This attitude Ie paralleled by that of the French troops, who took up positions several miles behind their frontier so that the world should know the Prussian authorities were the aggres. 'aors. It Is not tho place o; the American Government to warn travelers of the risks of travel Berlin has relieved It of that ecesslty. The tragedy that will servo as an example of "overt act," If the German threat is carrjd out, will -unhappily fall upon pod- seamen Ameri cans who are driven by force of neces sity to a risky voyage in order to get their bread and butter. This Is Mta eighth day of unre. trlcted sea warfare. Or, deducting the flvH days' tjrace allowed neutrals (and not observed by tho German Government), this Is tha third day of renewed sea fright fulness. AbOUt fifty Shins have hven annlr j'-yenly half of them British. Of the 20,000,000 jv; j jwiiinn lucituuiiiB luns anoai arjout 50,000 ptvo Men sent to the bottom twenty- va in iu.uuu, rna submarines can nn ibt Inflict much more damage.

He was tin tinmmeled by the cntuplexltles of civ Mention. As tho population ot the coun try mocd westward ho piillel up his stakes nnd mnxed ahead of It In order to enjoy his fieedom from Its entangle ments. Tho tltno camp, however, when theie was no place left for him to on and he had to adjust htnisolf to tho new conditions. The I'nltpil States vtns onco the fron tiersman of nations. It was untroubled by and uninterested In the great win Id movements Tho steamships nnd the electric telegraph havo sponged Iho oceans from tho tnnp They havo brought the nntlnns of the world so close to gether that wo aro neighbors to them nil. Thu splendid Isolation of which Washington dreamed wnen ho tnlltctl about the danger of "entnnellng nlll itnccs" is no longer possible. We must doff our cocmsMn rap and lenther log giuss and assume the attire and the ob ligations of a rltl.on of the world. That Is what President Wilson meant when he snid some months ago that thin nation could not be neutral tn the next war. It Is what foitnor President Toft meant when he told the League to Knforce Pence that we cannot be con tent to sit back In our rocking chairs nnd Ignoro what is happenltu:, about us and assume that wo havo no relation to It. Whoever attempts to U'lid us now b ancient phrases and formulas, no matter how great the m.in who originated them may have been, desei ves no moro consld eration than the man who should Insist that our warships be Iml't of wood, be propelled by bails and be equipped with ten-pounders because Washington ap piocd that kind of a navy KESTAOING- THK ANCIENT I'AKCE Wo must confess that a great tnnnv, nvp inns- of the dillleultles of the Itp ptiblicin paity come because IMdle' and .llmmlo" cannot iigiee Senator I'li.irles A. Snyder TTDDII"' is Senator Vnre and ".Ilmmle" -Li s Senator McNlchol. This rcmnrlt of Senator Snvder, In a speech on tho Spioul Imcstigatlng tcsolutlnn, throws a P.ood of light on the situation for the benellt of those who have not yvl ioll7ed that the light In Hariisburg is purely factional nnd that each side is more In tel e5,ted In "putting the other in bad" than In dealing tho honor of the Com monwealth. We hae had previous in vestigations under tho dliectlon of tlie same kind of men who nio planning tho piesent one. They h.ivo been pushed until it became evident that thev would make damaging disclosures nnd then they havo been diopped. There nie no Indications that the pro posed Sproul Investigation will bo any different from its piedecessors. THE HOPE OF THE WOULD THi: Knl not on alscr and President Wilson are speaking trims, but they and their closest advisers are about the only individuals in both countries who are not. This is not simplv an added proof of the deep seated amltv between thp Geiman people and Amei leans. It Is piimailly proof of that doctrine which the whole allied and neutral world lias accepted since tlie Germans enteied Iielglum that the Prussian military ollgaichy and the German peoplo nie two sepaiate and dis tinct powers, to be tieated with sep al ately and sepai ately Judged. A wedge was diiven between hem when the outside world began to learn from prisoners' dlaiics and other souices that Geiman schoolmasters, musicians, artisans Into whoso hands 1 iflcs had been thrust by a military machine wore as much shocked as neutrals and foes when they themselves were ordered to commit nameless atrocities. That wedge went deeper when brave Germans began to make their protests against Prussian caste brutality heard and were silenced only In Prussian Jails. The wedge went all tho way through and cut Piusslan autocracy and the German people apart foiever when this country Indorsed these words of Its President: We aro the sincere friends of the German people and earnestly desire to remain at peace with the Uoernment which speaks for them Mr. Wilson distinguished between the German Government and the Geiman people. Events since he spoke havo em phasized tlie leality of that distinction. Americans have been properly warned to leave the domain of Piusslan ofllceis, but the German people have shown courtesy and even some marked kindness to Amer leans In the German cities. In this coun try the same courtesy has been shown to Germans. Theie Is no "spy fever." This miracle of sustained amity be tween two peoples on the brink of war Is the hope of the world. Therein lies tho soil In which the German people's self respect will find new root when they see their military caste humbled before the nations, as It must be humbled. This Is not to say that American and allied opin ion Is forcing the Germans to abandon their unhealthy Government. That Gov. .ernment Is Itself forcing the Germans from their allegiance. In the last few days hundreds of them have taken steps to become citizens of the United States In American cities, and New York reports renunciations of alle glance to the four Central Powern' war lords as proceeding at the rate of a thou sand a day In exchange for the protection ot the American .flag.
