The oflicials of each country atj? willing to admit that the other country started the war. :o: Some of the American newspap ers re pretty sore at Holland for her course regarding the kaiser. The Detroit Free Press even says there are times when it believes Mr. Hearst ought to move over into Holland, too. :o: We have had plenty of rain to do until after the holidays.

Tanner, who was a candidate for Senator in the re cent election, has-been elected and defeated more times than we ever heard of in one campaign. He was defeated until the soldier vote was counted and now Doc has 6 major ity. And Jiis .opponent, W. J. Proatch, republican, has contested, and is going to try to beat him in the Senate. Of course the senate is overwhelming republican, but we t?l!eve they will treat Senator Turn er' who has served several terms in that body very fair. :or It is good to r.ll cf us to see cur old friend Dr. E.

All qf us, old and young, greet him in a manner that they mean a wel come that won't rub out. He looks we''I and genial as ever, and the people would like to see him back among us. Anyway they are all glad to see him looking eo well, and hope he will always be happy and enjoy good health forever more. State of Ohio. City cf Toledo. Lc&3 Cour.tr. as. Frank J.

But they seem to leave their kinfolks lying around as carelessly- as ever. :o:- War has destroyed one set of ' autocrats, but seems to have built up another.

At Aberdeen, Md., Tuesday, un- der the 'direction of the War De - partment, there was an exhibition of the guns, tanks, tractors, nvar materials and war appliances in general which the United States has produced since its declaration ot .war with Germany in 1917. The exhibit was made on the gov ernment ground at Aberdeen, and was a remarkable spectacle. Ranks of big guns, 7-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch, poured tons of projectiles over the range. There was the new 3-ton, 2-man type of tanks, an American design, intended to take the place Of the 6-ton type, which was in use at the close of the war. There was the war tractor, an other American production, power ful enough to plow its way through rough ground and through forests, breaking down trees, smashing ob structions, and firing an 8-inch gun every thirty seconds. There were 14-inch trench mort ars and 16-inch mortars. It was an exposition, or demonstration of accomplishment, to thrill the pride of every American, and to impose the lesson in p. magnificent way, of our great ability to do things. It was also a spectacle which Pointed a moral which no American should want to forget. With the official review of all these great preparations for the war, the announcement is made in almost every line of the news story which reported the scene at Aber deen, that the country was "about ready to begin the output," that 'the tanks would besin to be pro- i duced In quantities "in the spring, ,, j I ana tnal IDe poweriui ana enectne and that the powerfu tractors would be ready "about, June 1." In other words, the United States was getting "good and ready" to . J fight some time within six months 1 after the fight was over. -ye were preparing to smother j t, ' , : the enemy with guns, and crus them with tanks and overwhelm ' them with armed tractors in June, i 1919, n a war which ended in No- i Attention can bp callcd now u, ) . x , ine aDove iaci wunoui tne semo- lance of carping criticism, or in i the spirit of crying over spilled : i u,u"","'1- "f"' demonstrated the fact by the Aber-J deen review. that, in snite of all it i mo6t effectively. The review prcv- Pfj conclusive!' that the United; necessar -veapong to meet modern warfare. But none of these things were produceu ln time to be used in the war for wnich tney were intended. Th. Oermans did nor wait until June, 1919, to force the war of Ap ril, 1917. ' Guns were needed when war was declared, guns that would shoot when the enemy was shoot- in r q f iic I Thanks to the fact that our Al lies had the material to fight with when it was necessary to fight, and could lend us what we iackcu, we were enabled to have a part, and a conspicuous part, too, in the war which we declared. But we fought our war with borrowed guns and borrowed material. The United States lacked nothing in the way of spirit, of loyalty, of courage, or of devoton. It lacked nothing in the way of money or of resources. It only lacked, in 1917 and in 1918, the equipment which it would have received in 1919 had the war not ended when it did. The moral of the story is too ob vious to need 'illumination. No American, let it be repeated, will want to forget the big lesson which was impressed upon us by the-exhibition of materials that would have contributed so greatly to the "winning of the war, if they had been ready when they were needed.

These facts are worth the ccnsId - eration of those eminent publicists who are clamoring for a reuistribu-. tion ' by tome process of legal con- flscatlon of what they "swollen fortunes" of call the iuero is no iieeu ior any spuciui legislation on this ' subject. The work of breaking up the great in heritances is carried on automatic ally in a way that is far more thor- rr I i - i ' i ougn ana enective than by any scheme that even the most radical wielder of the red flag tould devise. Of the fortunes of forty year3 ago. then regarded as stupendous, only j n : . rm. . i. ij. ic i tfinaiu intact., i lie uuifu have either been wasted in gambling and dissipation or stock have been divided and subdivided to the vanishing point. Moreover, nearly all these fort- i unes have been accumulated by men who began life with no capital save brains and ambition, and this fact is a constant stimulus to young men of the rising generation.
