We know a man who expects ev

he finds out that he is wrong and
then he criticises his followers.
:o:
l'runes seem to have been com
pletely ridiculed off the lioarding

prices have not yet restored them to
society.
-:o:
This time last year it was very

to buy a load of coal. The only
trouble now is to get the money to
pay for it. .

Why be timid? Why not come
out and state your predictions bold

pays: "Anyhow there'll be a long
time after the war."

lf you are found intoxicated in
Florida, you will be fined $3,000.
However, this staggering problem is
simplified somewhat by the fact
that Florida is now a dry state.

The United States has now loan

and while that doubtless entitles us
to take considerable Interest, it is
a question whether they do not still
remain the principals in determin

One faction or another in Berlin
gains the upper hand, and then some
leaders in opposing factions are kiU
ed. The kaiser, his eldest son and
their immediate friends, who start
ed it all, however, will remain to
look on, safer than babes in, moth
ers' arms.
Some democrats are inclined to
crticise G. O. P. for opening specula
tion on a new leader so soon after
the death of Colonel Roosevelt. It
Is just as well to remember however
that the G. O. I, isn't the only party
engaged in these speculations. The
democrats are interested, too.

13. I,. T. of the Chicago Tribune
has hit upon a plan for feeding Ger
many, fashioned after the IJelgian
orphan policy. Let every American
adopt a Hun. Mr. T. speaks early
for a large Tent, wishing, he says,
to buy him $33 worth of ham and
eggs.
:o:
We candidly believe it is border
ing upon a crime for the authori
ties to attempfto conceal the true
situation of things during an epi
demic, such as is just now passing
over the country, for the sake of a
few paltry dollars. These dollars
would no doubt be spent just as lib
erally were the t'ruth known, and
at the same time people would take
more precaution in the way of
stamping out the disease, if disease
it is. Let the truth be known, and
perhaps thus save many lives.
:o:
Backward, turn backward, oh
time in your flight, we can no long
er keep up with the fight. We arc
so weary of skyrocket price:?, living
on cdbbage lias brought on a crisis.
Where are the steaks that we once
could afford; the price of the last
once would pay a month's board.
Calico now is no chapcar than silk,
a cow once cost less than our bottle
of milk. Eggs are more precious
than silver or gold, butter is kept in
the vault till it's sold. Shoes are
bo high that "we pay'fs we wall:,"
nothing is cheap but the profiteer's
talk. Backward, turn backward.
Oh time in your flight give us jn
old fashioned price list tonight.

NATION'S FINANCIAL STRAIN,
The war leaves this country vith
an ownership of approximately $9,-
500,000.000 of foreign bonds, notes,
and credits which have been pur-
chased in the last three years. The
sum will increase in the next six
months, possibly to $11,000,000,000.
This will be twice as great amount
as any nation had owned of foreign

DEMOCRACY'S LONG. LONG TRAIL !
The impression which the Western
world gets of the efforts of th"
Boles to govern themselves is
confusion worse confounded. The
government, as nearly as can be
made out, seems to be by coup d'etat
tempered by military dictatorship.
We cannot exactly make out, be
tween dispatches, whether Virtuoso
Baderewski and General Bilsudski
are working together or on each
other, whether the Socialists are in
or out, and if either whether it i;-.
the Conservatives or the Liberals
who are boiling the door on them.
It is all rather discouraging to
persons who had fancied that lib
erty and democracy were articles.--that
could be wrapped up and car
ried home like a pound cf bacon
from the store. They had thought
that by this time the Boles had haO
time to elect a president and a con
gress and have a river and harbor
bill well advanced on its pa-sage.
But these fruits of self government,
are of slower growth than that, and
a people that tries to pluck them
green is likely to find the taste bit
ter. We have even seen self gov
erning Americans make faces over
an unseasonable bite.
As there is no royal road to learn
ing, probably there Is none to .lib-1
erty, and the achievement of the
processes of liberty as applied to
government. cThe Boles will have
to take the bumps until they find
out by experience how to avoid
tlfcm. Ability to take them with
out flying off the handle is, per
haps, a pretty good approximation
of democracy as Anglo-Saxons have
developed it. It i3 the peoples who
do not know how to get around the
curves . without a coup Nd'etat viith
street barricades and bullets going
that we speak of as not having the
genius" for popular government,
But it does not follow that our
institutions always work "ore
