Your ears should not interfere with
your 3intlu; if they do, have them
cut off.
China has a new novelist named
Bing Dmg. Sounds very much like
the tide of a 1- atty Arbuekle film.
With the reindeer fattening on a
score of hills Sewaid peninsula can
survive the paucity of ptarmigan and
rabbits.
Pork and beans have gone up t’
price but it is some consolation tha
the vinegar accompaniment is still u
the old level.
Itoumania may have lacked exruses
for entering into the war but she cer
tainly has something to tight over now,
and not many left to do it.
Some of the small nations like
Servia, Montenegro, Itoumania, Bel
gium and Turkey are pretty likely
to get lost in the shuffle and never
reappear again.
Canada saluted its departing gov
ernor g neral with a farewell of thir
ty brass bands which must have in
spired some doubt as to what senti
ment induced the enthusiasm.
The "Woman without a Shadow” is
the title of the new Richard Straus'
opera. A prima donna of Madame
Schuman lieink’s proportions would
make the title look like a joke.
Some people would rather sit up
all night and keep warm than go to
bed and freeze. Buffet managers
should bear this in mind when it
comes to close up for the night.
Kansas City high school girls have
refused to go to si_‘**j->I because they
have no silk stockings to wear. If
the prices of cotton and wool keep
climbing stockings of these materials
will soon be expensive and
therefore more fashionable than silk.
The structure called civilization
seems tottering almost to a fall from
the shock of arms in Europe. The la w
of self preservation, or something no.
so euphomious, is not only sending
man against his brother to slay him
in battle but It is causing nations to
override the laws of their own mak
ing. An utter return to lawlessness
and savagery seems to lie at the end
of the road now being traveled. Ger
many deliberately disregarded her
Belgian promises and has many times
broken the international law she is
— 1 ■ ■■ ■ *
supposed to help maintain. England
and France are invading and intimi
dating Greece in a manner utterly
foreign to then- normal attitude of
fair play. And now Russia declares
her withdrawal from the Declaration
of London and annuoncea that she will
conduct her naval operations without
the law.
All men know that civilization as
we have it rests upon laws. Without
them states would disintegrate into
bands little better than savage tribes.
Our depirdince upon laws, or com
mon rules for the guidance and pro
tection of all, is evident as regards
individuals, and is it not just as evi
dent regarding groups of individuals
called states? When individuals cast
off the bonds of law they are called
anarchists and are regarded a3 the
enemies of all men including them
selves. And if nations in the heat of
battle disobey and cast aside as of
no account the laws they themselves
have made and sworn to maintain
when their judgment was calm, shall
It not be said of them too that they
1 are anarchists?
There Is still another danger and
it lurks in the desire of neutrals to
end the strife. The plan of represen
tative Lindcnburgh to put an embargo
on war munitions, food supplies and
gold has not been adopted yet but
It shows how the intense desire of
men to stop the butchery will lead
them to do the unwiso thing. We
might refuse to let even a single ton
of stuff leave our harbors and yet
the allies, our chief customers, would
still obtain food to eat and metals
to make their shells. An embargo
would merely cause the allies to 3low
up for a time. By Increasing their
own output and calling on Japan for
its maximum production the allies
would soon remedy the lack of Amer
ican munitions. Food could still be
obtained from South America and
elsewhere. The embargo would not
et>d the war but it would end all hope
of America being on cordial terms
again with any of the entente allies.
Nothing would be gained and much
would be lost.
The wise plan and the only plan
so far as America i3 concerned seems
to be to let the war take its course.
If the belligerents are to run amuck
1 in their desperate plights the best
1 Plan for America Is to arm both by
land and s~a to be able to repel any
dangerous moves in our direction. We
n can flo nothing to stop the war. reo
1 one can except those engaged in it.
* One side of the other i3 bound to be
overwhelmingly successful after a
time. There may be an utter disre
i gard of international law and of the
• laws of humanity but that will In the

MR. HILL'S INVESTMENTS.
During the latter years of his life
the late James J. Uill frequently re
marked that the manner in which the
railroads of the country were over
regulated was neither in their inter
est nor in the interest of the country.
The appraisement of his estate, re
cently completed, shows that he acted
upon this conviction.
The total value of this estate was
found to be in round numbers, fifty
million dollars. Of this but $7,000,
000 was invested in railroad su;k
and an equal amount in railroad
bonds, lie h. Id a relatively small
minority interest in the railroads
which are spoken of as "his." By far
the larger amount of his invest
imnta were in bank stock of
which he held not less than $23,000,000
in par value at the time of his death,
or nearly double the amount of his
railroad investments.
More than two million dollars of
his estate was represented by loans
or advances, practically donations to
schools, commercial associations,
clubs, etc. In cash he had a total rf
$4,143,318. showing an apparent dis
incl.nation to make further invest
ments at lliis lime, attributable to
the conservative caution with which
ho regarded the war prosperity of the
country.
But the notabl • feature is that this
man, the great railroad bu. d r, the
constructive financier who did proba
bly more within the course of his life
time to add to the needed transporta
tion facilities of the country than
any other single man, f It compelled,
in his later years, to withdraw his
investments so largely from trans
portation securities, because of his
undoubted b litf that over-regula
tion and over-1 gislation was certain,
if continued, to make such securities
unprofitable investments.
