EDITORIAL PAGE
It is beyond belief that Germany
rated thea, strategic advantages of
attacking Franco through Belgian
territory worth adding Great
Britain to the list of powers ar
rayed against tho Fatherland.
Lfceper reasons lay beneath that
choice.
England has more serious busi
ness on hand than seeing to the
proper chastisement of whatever
Mexican officer was responsible for
the killing of AV. S. Benton, the
Scotch ranchman murdered in
Chihuahua.
If those Canadian canals were
euly deep enough and wide
enough, locks and all, to let big
lake steamers go down to salt
water it would help get the surplus
American grain to Europe.
When some of the leading na
tions of Europe decided not to
take part, officially, in the Pana
ma-Pacific exposition they had
better reasons for not coming than
they Knew.
South American business men
are pretty sure to pay more at
tention than ever to American
merchandise before European
trade can become normal again.
The big game of Africa might
well snort, roar and squeal with
Joy. Military sportsmen in Europe
are going to shoot ore another
for the next year or two.
Yet there are those who bo
lie\e that the first duty of young
nations in the New World is to
si' at the feet of their elders in
Europe and learn wisdom.
-X. -
Huerta had & fine instinct To
getting away from war when he
picked Spain for his place of so
journ in Europe—if he gets there.
Russia was never a quick starter
in the heavy work of war. The
Muscovite empire has often been
slow to begin and slow to s'op.
Oue thing certain is that Ameri
can ships fit for deep sea trade
are going to find the 111 wind of
war blowing them some good.
In times like these it would be
worth much to England if India
could be held by some finer tie
than force of arms.
At preaent mediators, A. B. C.
or others, look about as weighty
as autumn leaves in a November
gale. " • £ 5
Between the German invaders
and the Russian defenders many
ota the Poles prefer neither.
Chorus of strauded American
tourists in Europe: "There's 110
place like home."
By contrast with the Old world
a holy calm -seems to broed over
South America.
Sometimes Europe looks not
only riper than America but -more
nearly rotten.
It is still perfectly safe and
comfortable to go abroad—to
Canada.
And think of all tbe famous war
correspondents who are not at the
front; v!% g S3?
Is it possible that the Cermans
iuvaded Limberg for its cheese?
If you hare a Vest Poofcet Kodak
with you when you go fishing, you
are doubly sure ol success. You
fjtp get gome lasting evidence of
the trip, and the cost of the camera
and photoe will l-e a trifling ex
pease when compared with the
pleasure. Get *n Eastman at

Preparedness of Navy]
Necessary to Pre
serve Peace
By Congressman WILLIAM M. CALDER
of New York
DTJEIXG my ten years of serv
ice in the house 1 always
voted to build two battle-"
ships a year. 1 am in favor of con
tinuing the program of building
two battleships a vear for at least
the next six
years unless
an interna
tional agree
ment can be
obtained by
the great
maritime
powers that
they shall
gradually re
duce their
naval arma
ment. Pre
vious to the
Spanish-American war this country
I was so situated that we did not i
I need to compete in the matter of j
the size of our navy with Great
! Britain, Germany, Russia, France
and Japan, but the result of that
war, bringing to us Porto Rico,
Guam, the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii and since then the building
of the Panama canal, compelled
this nation to maintain a first cla^s
navy at the highest state of etTi- i
cieney.
THE PREPAREDNESS OF THE
NAVY IN ITS OCCUPATION OF
VERA CRUZ—WHICH OCCUPA
TION, IN MY JUDGMENT. WILL DO
MORE ULTIMATELY TO SETTLE
THE MEXICAN QUESTION WITH
OUT FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE—|
WAS SIMPLY AN EVIDENCE OF
THE NECESSITY OF THIS COUN
TRY BEING CONSTANTLY PRE
PARED NOT TO DESTROY NA
TIONS AND MEN, BUT TO HELP
PRESERVE WORLD PEACE.
Real Newspaper's Soul
Its Disinterest
edness
By Colonel HENRY WATTERSON,
Editor Louisville Courier-Journal
A REAL newspaper is very much
more than a publication. It
is a vital entity. It lives and
breathes and has its being. Each
day of the year it enters the home,
conveying a message to those who
love it and trust it. Its soul is its 1
disinterestedness.
IT WILL BE A WOEFUL DAY
FOR THIS COUNTRY IF ITS PRESS 1
EVER BECOMES AS CORRUPT AS
ITS POLITICS. THAT CAN ONLY
HAPPEN WHEN THE BILLIONS |
BUYING UP THE PUBLIC UTILI
TIES ARE ABLE TO BUY UP THE i
NEWSPAPERS AS WELL. THAT i
DAY, WE BELIEVE, WILL NEVER
ARRIVE.
The American Tailors will press
suits for 50c, trousers for 15c.
