Subnidcnce of "Atrocity" Btcriei.
Folks who srs trying, to keep themselves
potted upon he kaleidoscopic unfolding of the
treat war drama rnust have noted" the gradual
subsidence of tho ','atroclty" stories. War is no
parlor name, but, pn the contrary, is full of cru
elties, barbarities and privations, and the num
ber of Innocent vctjnis must continue to In
crease. Kovrral things will, however, help to
explain why the bitter criminations and recrlm
(nations of the eafller stages, instead of becom
ing more fast anf furious, are occupying less
and Imi time and attention on both sides.
It Is quite possible that pavplc become used
to the most terrible experiences as they become
more common, which when first met with or
witnessed evoke abhorrent protest. It la prob
able, too, that as the fighting has settled dowp
to more systematic lines, bettor discipline has
been effected, and a stronger control main
tained over the troops. Yet, above and beyond
ill, horrible as war's destruction is, the conolu-
I slon Is forced thatjmost of the "atrocity" stories
j either were grossly exaggerated and .overdrawn
t or pictured rare fixceptlons and exeenes as the
general rule. Waf Itself Is a huge atrocity upon
mankind as a whole the only wonder Is that
It can be. waged upon such a colossal scale and
at the same time kept almost free from the In
dividual atrocities that are no necessary part
of it. .

A Forceful Reminder.
One paragraph In tho democratic tariff plank
of 1912 read: :
Wi racoanlia that our ayatetn of tariff taxation
la Intimately connected with tha buelnraa of the
country, and' we fVor the ultimate attainment of
the principle we advocate by lejInKtlon that will
not injure or tier troy legitimate Industry.
That onr system of tariff taxation la Inti
mately connected with the business of tha coun
try no one will deny,nor need ve question tha
democrats' sincerity of purpose to avoid harm
ing legitimate Industry, but we must see by now
that even the effort at attainment has worked
very grave Injury. In the first year of the new
Wilson-Underwood tariff law, despite the war,
we imported from other countries about 1200,
600,090 worth of manufactured products more
than during the last year of the republican
tariff.'
'' What does this mean but the displacement
of that much of our Industry at home? SajN
pose we bought all our manufactured product
abroad, then all our domestic Industries except
to supply fprclgn4 trade would close down.
There must, therefore, have been a tremendous
closing down In tha aggregate of home. Indus
tries as a result of this increased importation.
Mo wonder the late election went so strongly
agatnHt the democrats in all jthe industrial cen
ters. This country has grown great under a
fair' protective tariff, and Its people, manifestly,
want a tariff that protects their own Industries
rather than sacrifice , them for the benefit of
their, foreign competitors.
,; Premier Asqurth now Offer 'tha' encourage-'
rnent that the war will not last as long as orig
inally predicted! "Thaas for irmall favors.
J If those Mexicans think their little war side
show csn draw .the crowd from tha big. three
ring main tent, they are going to be mighty
badly fooled, ''."

i President Wilson regrets that h has no ab

V --' Evacuating Vera Crui.
The wheel of fortune in Mexico has taken
no queerer turn than that which makes a coinci
dence ol the government's compliance' with our
demands at Vera Or us and Villa's declaration of
rar-oa Carransa. -It will b remembered 'that
American troops seised Vera Crus to make sure
of having the ruling powers at Mexico City meet
all our demands. Jt now appears from the de
cree Jsaued by General Carransa thai all the
requests made by President Wilson have' been
duly granted and, Very naturally, .the president
(s looked to io complete, the agreement by re
calling the troops. . Falling to do to might be
misconstrued in Mexico and seised upon as an
other pretext for a grievance against the United
States. At the same time it hardly'seems wise
to evacuate until there has been a definite and
satisfactory alignment of the leaders in the
recent. Indeed the present, factional feud. Tha
whole purpose of sending our troops there in
the first place may b defeated at last It their
removal precipitates another civil war. Of
course, the hope Is that . hostilities between
Villa and Carransa may be averted, but hope has
counted for little In Mexican affairs. Factional
fighting teems to be one of the Inevitable con
sequences of every alliance finally to determine
which rival is to have the larger share of the
spoilt of formerly united exploits.
"Woman has come down from' her pedestal,"
declared "Dob" Jones, southern evangelist, to
a1 body of Kansas Clty suffragists, all of which
show's "that discretion is not the better part of
valor with everybody. Still, the dispatches in
dicate no harm to ."Bob" this time.

t Tammany-Atiet or Liability t
Certain democrat!" newspapers have sneered
at Boss, Murphy as a liability to tha party aa
disclosed in the defeat of Governor Glynn of
NeW York evidently forgetting that but for
Tammany's returning her fourteen Gotham rep
resentative th national administration would
have about lost control of the lower (house of
congress. Instead of being altogether a liabil
ity to the party. Murphy and Tammany may
claim to represent Its chief asset. It Is very
well to rail at them tor moral effect, but prac
tical democratic leaders know that th old Tiger
Is not to be discarded. Prlorvto the election the
New York World made much of an epigrammatic
slogan that it Governor Glynn loses he rosy
blame Tammajny, if he wins he may thank Pres
ident Ulson. Governor Glynn lost.-yet it is
.vry. doubtful Jf, th administration Is anxious
to dispose ,of Mr. Murphy and Tammany Just
now aa mora of a liability than of an asset.
K&ffio of the Quail Feather.
Science Is uewly indebted to the California
university, professor who learns from an old
Indian sag of 'th Sierra that th long tall
feather of a. mountain quail possesses the same
properties as ourmodem X-ray, and, indeed, for
ages has been used by the aboriglnea for locat
ing broken, bones. This is done simply by hold
ing the hand' or 'other injured part of the an at
mr up to-the" -eun and viewing it through the
lens. p( ,tha. feather, which w are told acts ex
actly as does a divining rod.
BUt'Mhea it come to magic manipulation
with "bones"- w would stake the old southern
darky's rabbit foot against th Indian's quail
reamer any aay, Any devote or tne dice on a
southern river' leve will tell you that there Is
.no magic .more mysterious or mighty than that
of the left blud toot of a rabbit caught in th
southeast corner of a graveyard In th full of
th moon. It is not an experiment, not the
figment of Imagination: It is "Jess" real magic,
and If you do .not believe It, watch the effect on
one of these fellows, who has discovered after It
la too late that he left his rabbit's fool at bom.
.Note that that progressive party nominee
for congress who concluded he had a better
chanc to go to heaven than to Washington
lives in Kentucky, and not In Nebraska. .

other paper In hla proper namel, prophe
alea. In commentlna; on the prohibition
elrrtlon In several western etates, that
the I'nlted Ktates within twenty years

that:
The year 1TO4 will ae a new nation: a

purpoae; it may be medicine, cooking,
or aa a beverage, but ualng It at all, they
must, of course purchase 1 and In pur
chkalng they Induce the nle of theee
commodities Tet it seems that In the
states mentioned, somewhere near 40
per rent of those ualng It, and expecting
to u it In the future, have voted for
prohibition. Thia would Indicate rather
that inatead of reaching In twenty years
the acme of moral perfection, It will be
reaching th seme of hypocrlay. And,
furthermore, to vote out of exlatence In
duatrlea which have been created by
popular demand for their products, and
legalised by th state and the. nation,
without compenaatlon for the properties
worth many million, which are prac
tically confiscated and rendered value
less by such leglalatlon. Is the seme ef
public or governmental dlahnneaty.
When the Swlas republic abollahed ab

A. J. Dame, an Englishman who succeeded. With

UEBER ALLIES.
M. E. Bnhler. In New York Sun.
Out from their mother earth twilight.
Wandered the nations forth;
Tl: Celt and th Hun and th Teuton,
The t-'axon, th An, the Goth,
A shadow Utst follow shadows.
Westward .over snd north.
All children of one greet mother.
All sons of one living Cod;
Tea. closer than brother and brother.
For one were they, spirit and blood.
As water Is one with all water.
And sod Is one with sll sod.
Pftlled they the sess snd the rlrer.
Itnnmed they the hills snd th pis lit.
Dwelt tbey In Inses and In foresta,.
Lived tiiev t Viking and Dane,
And their fjoids were oatk in the Norse
land And their rivers were sunny Isj Spain.
Srsward from shore that have vanlahed
Tb'.y gaserf where new land now be;
And they tarried by cots forgctten
In Britain and Rrlttany;
And their home fires gleamed In ld twi
lights That dreamer in dreams may see.
And T know through the generations
Of face that ehift and flee,
Through Frank and Anale and Saxon,
One spirit come down to me
And I love, with a heart that 1 bleeding,
My England, my Germany!
