can't they have hydrophobia?
The British "black list” sounds *nr
m«' able. It has usually been coupled
in out disaptches with the interference
wl'.h our mails by Great Britain.
'i: ty were thus coupled because both
have been the subject of diplomatic
exchanges between the United Stales
and Great Britain. No relation exists
otherwise and they are as different as
black from white bo far as our na
tional dignity is concerned. Our pur
pose at present is to write briefly
of the meaning of the 30-called black
list.
The black list simply consists of a
list of firms dotnlg business in neutral
countries whom all Britishers are for
bidden to have any relations with.
They are neither to buy of nor sell to
these firms. The prohibition is merely
a domestic law applicable to subjects
of Great Britain. There are some
eighty firms or persons domiciled in
the United States which are on this
UM.
The British foreign office roughly I
divides the llrms blacklisted under I
four heads: First German firms. J
with head offices In Germany; second,
Ggrman firms Incorporated in the
United States and therefore technical
ly American: third, Americans who
aro sole agents for enemy firms resi
dent in enemy country; and, fourth,
firms fusing & telegraph code taf *s
enemy interest.
Or tills blacklist Senator Simmons,
of the finance committee of the Cnl
ted States senate says: "There 19 no
doubt that Great Britain has a right to
tell her cniaoa they cunuot trade
with Germans, and i also believe
she is within her nglus when she puis
a ban un citizens ui a ucu.rul coun
try." k-\ tn so good a German as
Herman A. .Metz, a leading uupor.et
0, oviiuuli says: zII. le iso t a
snuuuw 01 a r.gnt to kick uoout tnis
blacklist thing."
'itius it appears that the blacklis.
as soiled by Great Britain is a per
fectly proper legulalious—so long a»
it applies only to British subjects ana
their trade with neutrals. This may
be calico the primary blacklist.
There is another, or secondary, as
pect of the matter which becomes our
affair at once and this is when Great
Britain refuses to allow her subjects
to trade with neutrals who have any
business relations with those firms on
her blacklist. This is not only perni
cious but foolish, us it may be ex
tended ad intinitum until all llrms are
eluded under Britain's ban. By
treaties with Great Britain our citi
zens are protected in their right ot
trade freely with her subjects and If
we stood for our rights, as we easily
have the power to do, Britain’s sec
ondary application of the blacklist
would not for long have any author
ity.
The British foreign Office Is not
strongly Insisting on the secondary
blacklist which would mean that any
American firm trading with a German,
Austrian, or Turkish firm would lose
the right of trade with English deal
ers. Should she do so and carry the
principle to Its logical end all Amer
ican firms would be denied the trade
with British firms which they are
guaranteed by treaty. That is to say
Britain would thus wave aside by a
war order in council a solemn treaty
entered into by the two nations. And
Britain’s excuse for entering the war
was to make a treaty honored. The
New York Times firds the blacklist
'■quite the most tactless, foolish and
unnecessary act of the British gov
ernment during the war.” It does I
no good to the allies and in its ex
tension comes perilously near to
breaking her commercial treaty with
us.
Referring to our ability to place
an embargo on food and munitions
to the allies the New York World
says, "The power of this country to
Irflict injury upon England is so
enormous that we can only feel
amazement at the folly of a ministry
which, by Its misuse of sea power,
seems deliberately to have Invited
retaliation."
A LITTLE PREACHING
Bishop Berkeley’s belief that only
souls, finite minds and Ood have a
real existence, is too far advanced for
the prosy everyday world to grasp.
The grouping of all that Is best In
a community or congregation of peo- '
pie ha3 long been sought by those
who seek to better conditions, but
Its attainment has been defeated by
the grosser minds of the materialists.
The time will come when nothing that i
is bad can survive; when the line of
demarcation between the good a man
does and the good he intends to do
will be merged Into the lives of those
around him. It Is Impossible that
present conditions can survive. The
dominance of the dollar is too mark
ed upon our lives. More time should
be taken In art3, sciences, music, nni
good reading. Too much time is lost
In pursuing vain things. Our people
can never truly reach perfection un
der present teachings. The Greeks
were nearer physical and mental per
fection than any race which has ex
isted since the development of tiie
Aryan or Cappadocian race. Luxury
ahd wealth brought sloth of mind
and body, and in sight of the pin*
raole of human perfection, the race
.. i genera ted until the infinite was lost
tight of La the mod scramble for the
grosser materialistic pleasures.
EMOTIONS.
Emotions are what you have when
y.iU are ull stirred up; for exampk,
then ji u are in love or when a note
which \ju have previously forgotten
suddenly falls due. Also, when you
think you are writing poetry and
wien you are leading one who Is
ptncucsllv a total Stranger up to an
odiar, where, by previous arrange
ment and dcs,gn you have stationed
a gentleman with powei to cause you
in <i a future trouble than you have
ever dreamed of. Science tells us that
something cunnol come out of no'h
mg, yet emotions seem to do this
A calm, placid lady, whom you have
Know n and trusted for years will
ludtieuly have emotions which will
creute an area of disturbs nee ex
tending for miles in all directions.
Emotions are felt, but not seen. If
you could see an emotion coming
with the naked eye, you might be
able to avoid it. borne men can Uius
avoid emotions when they see their
wives coming, but not when they have
emotions themselves.
Emotions are of various kinds nnd
arc variously expressed; a policeman
expresses his with a club and every
dog with the end of hi3 tail.—Life,
PRAYER IN WAR.
It seems almost sacrilege to the
real Christian to hear of soldiers
kneeling in prayer to the Almighty,
and then before the ethereal vibra
tions have ceased, murdering an op
ponent at the command of some supe
rior. It is this kind of religious
furce which holds the world back and
makes agnostics. When God made
the world he evidently had no Inten
tion ot having nations fence it off
and put up trespass signs. This re
mained for man to do. With the sol
diers of each nation praying to a Su
preme Being and prelates rolling up
their sleeves and wading into their
opponents it looks to an outsider as
if something was uskew in the uni
verse.
There are 1,262 cases of whooping
cough in Washington D. C., and the
health officers have warned mothers
of the danger of disregarding the ser
iousness of the disease. Nine deaths
resulted In July.
