CUTTING PRICES.
<. Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
rsepiueausains etevthb ul New
rrumpdCJue proposes to introduce pi
ooq£7ms Ur n-e uolkUrig session a bill
iv legalise trie practice of utsnufac
turere or naing me retail price at
Which their goods may be sold and
icrbiddihg retailer* from cutting be
.otr those prices, on pain of being de
nied further right to purchase such
goods at manufacturer's or jobber's
prices.
Th« practice, which has been com
area for many years, has been held
oPegjal by several eourt decisions, al
though in some elates the courts have
upheld U. At all events, it Is so near
(he line ef illegality that manufactur
ers naturally desire a warrant in stu
• ue taw for continuing It.
n is by no means an easy matter
to determine offhand whether such a
yisotlee es It la sought to legalize is 1
one which should be under the ban
•?r under the encouragement of the
law. There are forolble argument*
on both sides. As an abstract mat- |
ter of egulty It would seem that the
man Who has purchased any article
. nd paid for It th# price demanded
by the former owner should have the |
right to sell It at any price or on any
term* which may suit him It Is also
argued, but with hardly as much weight
that the consumer Is benefited by the
opportunity to purchase from one
dealer an article at a price less than
tf-st at which It la sold commonly.
cm the ether hand, the manufactur
-i of au article of universal use, who
ias inane a market for It by extensive
..overusing, thinks It but right and j
fair that he should protect (be dealer.,
vho buy from Mm by instating on a i
tVxed price for the article at all times
tbd at all places. If prices are cut
below the point of profit by one dealer
<r*d others ere compelled to come to
if. they will soon cease to carry tho
KPOde, or at all events to push their
sale* offering substitutes yielding u
i •refit.

WAR.
(Boston Record.)
Unyd-Oeorge told the trade union- j
'sts at Bristol, hag resolved Itself Into
a conflict between the mechanics in
the contending nations. There Is a
thought Involved In that utterance
which we commend to the attention of
tuechanlca and others in this country
's well e« In England where Lloyd
«.'eor*e raises the issue specifically.
War depends not alone on the valor
of its men in the trenches and charg
ing across fields of fighting. There
i» the man not only behind the guns,
at the man behind the making of tho
twits, and behind the making of an
aural don for the guns. There is the
onm who doe* prosaic work, with no j
waring! flag above him and no glamor
*£ Glutted companionship no cheering
ue tame stain on nerve and heart
which Inspire avsn whllo they kill.
And why apply this lesson in ability
aftd earnestness to the war alone?
Isn't it the same in peace? National
supremacy is won by the people that
w«wft hardest and with most skill. How
did the United States forge ahead In
the industrial warfare of tho compe
titive world? By doing things hotter,
aud doing them with more forcefulncss
and persistency, than other countries.
How has Oermany overhauled Eng
land in the world's markets In tho last
decade? Not by cannon and not by
nUQtOrism, but by a tremendous in
dustrial force, a convincing conquer
ing skill and will.
Here. lit this country, oven as in
Rd gland oed in some other countries.
We see a tendency to fall away from
those twin eonflaerors—skill and will.

DE MAUPASSANT ON WAR.
(Boston Olobe.;
Ons raw, who dlagosed war as it
1 was and was not afraid to express his
; mind was Guy ds Maupassant, the
I brilliant, eccentric French writer of
1 thu last generation.
D. Maupassant marveled that people
did not rise In rebellion against their
governments at t o word "war.” He
quoted "a cleve aiist In such mat
ters, a slaught. nr genius, M. de
Moltke"—note th tho name Is that of I
| a gTeat German general. Galllclsed—as
| replying thus to an address by some (
| peace delegates:
j "War Is holy and of divine instttu- j
| lien: it is one of the sacred laws of
nature; it keeps alive In men all the
| great and noble sentiments, honor,
disinterestednes. virtue, courage: in
one word It prevents them from fall
ing into the most hideous material
ism."
Here we have the Germanic doc- j
trine of 1870, which forty-flve years 1
does not seem to have changed. T,et •
tis read De Maupassant's answer to
It:
"To collect a herd of aome half
million men. march day and night
without respite, to think of nothing,
study nothing, learn nothing, read
nothing, be of no earthly use to any
one, rot with dirt, lle down In mire,
live like brutes In a continual besot- i
ment, pillage towns, bum villages,
ruin nations; then meeting another |
similar agglomeration of human flesh,
rush upon It. shed lakes of blood, cover
plains with pounded flesh mingled
with muddy and bloody earth: pile up
heaps of slain; have arms and legs
blown off, bralne scatterd without
benefit to any one, and perish at tho
corner of some field while your old
parents, your wife atid children arc |
dvtng of hunger: this la what Is called 1
not falling Into the most hideous ma
terialism!"

ALL WANT PEACE.
i Boston Evening Kecord.)
At Chautauqua recently Jane Ad
da ms told 7,000 auditors that Germany
"is not the bloodthirsty nation that
many have been led to believe" and,
as one proof of her statement, sub
mitted the fact that the German chan
cellor "greeted the representatives of
the woman’s peace movement with
warmest and sincerest assurances of
his desire for an early peace." Did
7vliss Addams expect him to draw a
sword and chop her head off” The
premier of Austria, too. so far from
shooting up the room as Roon as the
women appeared, proved to he "an j
ordinary looking, kindly old gentle
man” who resembled Gen. Grant and
"showed a keen desire for an early
peace.” The most militant of the for- ;
eign officials she visited was Minister
Otlcasse of France, who, strange to
say. didn’t feel overjoyed at the wan
ton invasion of his country by the
Germans and wasn’t Inclined to dis
cuss peace terms while the Invaders
possessed themselves of some of
France’s most valuable territory. Na
turally these dignitaries want peace:
but wanting it and getting it are dif
ferent things. German deeds afford a
better test than German words. Thoso
deeds havo shown a disregard of In
ternational law and morals so alien
to modern Ideals as to require. In hu
manity’s Interest, war until that spirit J
