CONTRABAND of war
The seizing by. British cruisers
of American ships carrying
cargoes allegttf to be contraband
of war brings up a point which
apparently is not well understood
by the public.
There is nothing in interna
tional law, agreement or ethics
that forbids a neutral country to
trade in contraband of war. Ameri
can citizens can sell all the pro
visions, gunpowder, rifles and can
non they please to any of the na
tions now at war. If what they
sell hua been placed on the con
traband list by any of these na
tions—and nearly every commodity
has been declared to be such—
that nation can seize and appro
priate or destroy it when it is con
signed to an enemy. The 'risk,
however, is not with the seller, but
the buyer; no nation has the right
to forbid ordinary commerce to a
nation with which it is not ft
war.
What is forbidden this country
!u time of war is the fitting out
of naval or military expeditions
against any of the belligerents.
For permitting the Confederacy to
equip, under its protection, the
cruiser Alabama and other com
merce destroyers, England was
nearly drawn into war with the
United States and in the end was
compelled to pay an indemnity of
515.500,000.
Concerns iu the United States
are now turning out material
for the armies in the field in Eu
rope and are at liberty to continue
doing so. If it is seized while en
route to its destination, the loss
falls upon the purchaser.
"We now propose to render war
Impossible,'' gays Mr. Carnegie.
But why the delay, Andrew?
But, if threatened with war.
could not the United State3 de
clare a moratorium of those "few
months for fleet maneuvers?"
The Washington id<=a of a "fine
spirit of public service" seems to
be the doing of something nice for
the solid South.
Most men are none too anxious
to serve on juries tntireiy irre
spective of the danger of being |
thrown oat of a window.
Governor Hunt, of Arizona, has j
as good a right to make l-.imself J
famous as the Governor of Texas
—by the way, what is that man's
name?
Perhaps, by this time, some of |
those war correspondents are rec
onciled to the fact that they can
uot go to the front.
Texas purposes sending a million
quarter-pound boxes of shelled
pecau nuts to the children of
Europe. Now who'll come for
ward with the all-day suckers?
One of the sad features of pro
hibition is that some of us would
probably have to listen to the line
of talk the self-sacrificing barten
ders now endure.
The Democrats aren't bragging
about the Effect upon the cost of
living of the cheap Chinese eggs
in the American market. But
then, a Chinese egg that is a trifle

ropean powers toO severely when

medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength Ly building up the
constitution and assisting nature in

METHUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his letters as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty of time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving time but of killing time.
Hut we don't live so long nowadays and most of us have
gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty years. We
have found that the time saved and the labor saved by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to do.
Typewriting is two or three times faster than pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it looks better, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?

been waiting is the new
